6. Function blocks
6.1 Manufacturer function blocks
Q1: Switch output X = positive
Q2: Switch output X = negative
Operating ranges
l
X > XH
Q1 switches one to X < ( XH – H1)
l
X < –XH
Q2 switches one to X > -XH + H2
If the switching conditions for Q1 and Q2 are not met, both outputs will be switched
off to 0.
Only Q1, or Q1, or neither one can be switched on at any one
time.

the function block will go through every
cycle.
