General Information

Library Overview

The FastSampling library provides objects for sampling data from Schneider Electric drive parameters with a higher resolution than provided by the Sercos cycle.

The figure illustrates the general data sampling process:

Process step	Description
1	Fast sampling parameters are configured in the controller and the sampling process is started.
2	Configured parameter data is retrieved from the drive.
3	The controller is stopping the sampling process, saves the sampled data to an ARRAY and provides them to EcoStruxure Machine Expert. They can be displayed in a individual IEC trace graph dedicated to fast sampling results.

Data Sampling Methods

According to the performance provided by your system, retrieving sampled data from the drive can be performed in two different ways. A specific function block is provided for each sampling method:

Data Sampling Method	Function Block	Description
Asynchronous	FB_SamplingDataAsynchron	For systems providing restricted performance. Sampled data is buffered in the drive.
Real-time	FB_SamplingDataRealTime	For high-performance systems. Sampled data is transferred in a continuous stream by the Sercos real-time channel.

Characteristics of the Library

The table indicates the characteristics of the library:

Characteristic	Value
Library title	FastSampling
Company	Schneider Electric
Category	Application
Component	PacDrive
Default namespace	SE_FS
Language model attribute	Qualified-access-only
Forward compatible library	Yes FCL

NOTE: For this library, qualified-access-only is set. The POUs, data structures, enumerations, and constants have to be accessed using the namespace of the library. The default namespace of the library is SE_FS.

Controller and Drive Platforms

The FastSampling library is supported by the following platforms:

PacDrive LMC Eco and PacDrive LMC Pro/Pro2 motion controllers
Lexium 62 Advanced and Lexium 62 Standard drives
with hardware revision RS10 and higher

General Considerations

NOTE: Schneider Electric adheres to industry best practices in the development and implementation of control systems. This includes a "Defense-in-Depth" approach to secure an Industrial Control System. This approach places the controllers behind one or more firewalls to restrict access to authorized personnel and protocols only.

WARNING
	UNAUTHENTICATED ACCESS AND SUBSEQUENT UNAUTHORIZED MACHINE OPERATION Evaluate whether your environment or your machines are connected to your critical infrastructure and, if so, take appropriate steps in terms of prevention, based on Defense-in-Depth, before connecting the automation system to any network. Limit the number of devices connected to a network to the minimum necessary. Isolate your industrial network from other networks inside your company. Protect any network against unintended access by using firewalls, VPN, or other, proven security measures. Monitor activities within your systems. Prevent subject devices from direct access or direct link by unauthorized parties or unauthenticated actions. Prepare a recovery plan including backup of your system and process information. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
