Type:

Function

Available as of:

V1.0.3.0

Versions:

Current version

Task

Calculates the distance of two cylinders.

Description

Calculates the distance of the cylinders i_stCylinder1 and i_stCylinder2. For this purpose, an iteration process is used.

Interface

Input

Data type

Description

i_stCylinder1

ST_Cylinder

Cylinder 1

i_stCylinder2

ST_Cylinder

Cylinder 2

i_lrAccuracy

LREAL

Maximum permissible error for the calculated distance.

The iteration process aborts if the calculated distance of the objects deviates from the exact distance by less than this value. The lower this value is, the more exact is the result and the higher the number of the necessary iteration steps.

Value range: > 0.0

Output

Data type

Description

q_etDiag

GD.ET_Diag

General library-independent statement on the diagnostic.

A value not equal to ET_Diag.Ok corresponds to an diagnostic message.

q_etDiagExt

ET_DiagExt

POU-specific output on the diagnostic.

q_etDiag = ET_Diag.Ok -> Status message

q_etDiag <> ET_Diag.Ok -> Diagnostic message

q_lrDistance

LREAL

Calculated distance between i_stCylinder1 and i_stCylinder2

q_diNumberOfIterations

DINT

Number of iteration steps which were required for the distance calculations.

AccuracyRange

Enumeration name:

AccuracyRange

Enumeration value:

118

Description:

Accuracy is outside the valid range.

Issue

Cause

Solution

-

At the input i_lrAccuracy, a number smaller than Gc_lrZeroTolerance has been applied.

A value greater than zero has to be specified.

DefinitionCylinder1

Enumeration name:

DefinitionCylinder1

Enumeration value:

43

Description:

The definition of Cylinder1 is not correct.

Issue

Cause

Solution

-

At the input i_stCylinder1.lrRadius, a value <= 0 has been transferred.

The radius of the cylinder must be greater than zero.

-

At the inputs i_stCylinder1.stAxisStart and i_stCylinder1.stAxisEnd, the same point has been transferred.

The distance between i_stCylinder1.stAxisStart and i_stCylinder1.stAxisEnd must be at least Gc_lrZeroTolerance.

DefinitionCylinder2

Enumeration name:

DefinitionCylinder2

Enumeration value:

44

Description:

The definition of Cylinder2 is not correct.

Issue

Cause

Solution

-

At the input i_stCylinder2.lrRadius, a value <= 0 has been transferred.

The radius of the cylinder must be greater than zero.

-

At the inputs i_stCylinder2.stAxisStart and i_stCylinder2.stAxisEnd, the same point has been transferred.

The distance between i_stCylinder2.stAxisStart and i_stCylinder2.stAxisEnd must be at least Gc_lrZeroTolerance.

MaxNumberOfIterationsExceeded

Enumeration name:

MaxNumberOfIterationsExceeded

Enumeration value:

96

Description:

The maximum number of iteration steps has been exceeded.

Issue

Cause

Solution

-

i_lrAccuracy has been chosen too small. The numerical approximation method converges to such a result in not less than Gc_diMaxNumberOfIterations iteration steps.

A higher value must be chosen for i_lrAccuracy.

Ok

Enumeration name:

Ok

Enumeration value:

0

Description:

Ok

The distance has been calculated successfully.

UnknownState

Enumeration name:

UnknownState

Enumeration value:

2

Description:

The POU is in an undefined state.

Issue

Cause

Solution

-

The internal state of the POU is indeterminable.
