HSCSimple_TM3: Control a Simple Type Counter for TM3

Function Block Description

This function block controls a Simple type counter with the following reduced functions:

oone-channel counting

ono threshold

ono capture

ono reflex

The HSCSimple function block is mandatory when using a Simple counter type.

The function block instance name must match the name defined by configuration. Hardware related information managed by this function block is synchronized with the MAST task cycle.

WARNING

UNINTENDED OUTPUT VALUES

oOnly use the Function Block instance in the MAST task.

oDo not use the same Function Block instance in a different task.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

NOTE: Forcing the logical output values of the FB is allowed by EcoStruxure Machine Expert but it will have no impact on hardware related outputs if the function is active (executing).

I/O Variables Description

This table describes the input variables:

Inputs	Type	Comment
HSC_REF_TM3	HSC_REF_TM3	Reference to the HSC instance.
Enable	BOOL	TRUE = activates counter and takes into account pulses on the counter input.
Sync	BOOL	One shot counter: On rising edge, loads the preset of the counter. Modulo loop counter: On rising edge, resets and initializes the counter.
ACK_Modulo	BOOL	One shot counter: Not used. Modulo loop mode: On rising edge, resets the modulo flag Modulo_Flag.

This table describes the output variables:

Outputs	Type	Comment
Validity	BOOL	TRUE = indicates that the output values on the function block are valid.
Run	BOOL	TRUE = counter is activated. In One-shot mode, switches to 0 when CurrentValue reaches 0. A rising edge on Sync is needed to restart the counter. In Modulo loop mode, TRUE, indicates that the counter is activated.
Valid	BOOL	TRUE = indicates that output values on the function block are valid.
Error	BOOL	TRUE = indicates that an error was detected.
ErrorId	HSC_ERROR_TM3	Indicates the value of the error detected. See HSC_ERROR_TM3 enumeration.
Modulo_Flag	BOOL	One shot counter: Not relevant. Module loop mode: Set to TRUE when the counter rolls over the modulo value.
CurrentValue	DWORD	The value of the counter.
