Hi DDo84, if you use a 3rd party system you can't use any channel block from the APL to have additional diagnostic. In this case you have to write your own channel block or you have to request Siemens if they can write such channel blocks. But in the most cases it is not profitable to write the channel block for the additional diagnostic. Then I would recommend to you that you use the STOu with StruAnOu or StruDiOu block from the APL. The STOu block convert different BOOL inputs into a signal status and with StruAnOu and StruDiOu you add the signal status to the BOOL or REAL. With regards |

Hello Heisenberg2, Thank you for your reply! Just to be certain, we are using a Siemens PN/PN-coupler to communicate. There are no channel blocks in the APL suited for the data which is interfaced by a Siemens PN/PN coupler? |

let me do a bit of add on, apart from the ideas mentioned by Heisenberg2 and Foolish_Q, my method is to create the logic in chart in chart (nested chart) , then put all the description of input/outputs in text in the nested chart with the version name, author, date, and reason of creation. Sometimes, the input is a words which need to be decoded, such as bit 0 = run/stopped, bit 1 = fault, bit 2 = torque fault ... So you might want to decode the status word and have a meaningful output in your chart in chart. What you need to do is , create the logic in chart in chart, define your input , name the input , name your output, then connect your logic to the output inside chart in chart. Then you can bulk engineering using PTT/ IEA. Hope this is helpful for you. |
