SIWAREX FTA
5.6.4 DR 7 - Process value 1 for fast output to the SIMATIC CPU
The current process values can be read as data packages (data records in the
SIMATIC CPU using function block FB41. Transferring a large data record can last
for several CPU cycles and puts a load on system performance.
If a process value should be quickly transferred to the SIMATIC CPU immediately
after its creation in the SIWAREX FTA then the peripheral interface of the
SIWAREX FTA can be used. The data is read by the FB41 cyclically and provided
for the user as an output variable. In automatic scale operation, the current net
weight (Selection number 2) is normally important.
The selection is made from the following list.
Gross weight (Process value)
Net weight (Process value)
Gross-/Net weight (calibratable numeral step)
Gross-/Net weight (calibratable numeral step x 10)
Operating error (32 bit information)
Filtered ADC value (for process value)
Total number of weightings
Number of control weigh procedures
Number of weightings over TO2
Number of weightings over TO1
Number of weightings opt.
Number of weightings less than TU1
Number of weightings less than TU2
Actual weight average value
Weighing procedures per hour
Filtered ADC value (for coarse-, fine signal)
