Data Control Instructions Section 3-17
Description Receives a duty ratio or manipulated variable input from the word address
specified by S, converts the duty ratio to a time-proportional output (see note)
based on the parameters specified in words C to C+3, and outputs a pulse
output to the bit specified by R.
Note A time-proportional output is changed proportionally based on the ON/OFF
ratio in input word S. The period in which the ON and OFF status changes is
known as the control period and is set in parameter word C+1.
Example: When the control period is 1 s and the input value is 50%, the bit is
ON for 0.5 s and OFF for 0.5 s. When the control period is 1 s and the input
value is 80%, the bit is ON for 0.8 s and OFF for 0.2 s.
Generally, TPO(685) is used together with PID(190) or PIDAT(191) and the
PID instruction’s manipulated variable result word (D) is specified as the input
word (S) for the TPO(685) instruction. Also, an output bit allocated to a Tran-
sistor Output Unit is generally specified as R and a solid state relay is con-
nected to the Transistor Output Unit to perform time-proportional control of a
heater (proportional control of the ON/OFF ratio).
Combining TPO(685) with a PID Control Instruction
When combining TPO(685) with a PID control instruction, the manipulated
variable input is divided by the manipulated variable range to calculate the
duty ratio, that duty ratio is converted to a time-proportional output, and pulses
are output.
