Description

Function description

The function block replicates a limited integrator.

The function block has the following properties:

Operating modes Manual, Halt, Automatic
Manipulated variable limiting in automatic mode

NOTE: This function block performs an internal initialization in the first program cycle after a warm start or cold start (e.g. application download or power cycle) of the PLC program.

Due to this, you have to make sure that the function block is invoked in the first program cycle. In case of inkoving the function block in a later program cycle, the internal initialization will not be performed and the ouputs may deliver wrong values.

WARNING

UNEXPECTED OUTPUT BEHAVIOUR

Make sure that the function block is always invoked in the first program cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

and can be configured as additional parameters.

Formula

The transfer function is:

The formula of calculation is:

Variable	Description
	Value of input X from the previous cycle
	Value of the output Y from the previous cycle
dt	is the time differential between the current cycle and the previous cycle

Runtime error

An error message is returned if

an invalid floating point number lies at input YMAN or X
ymax < is ymin

NOTE: For a list of all block error codes and values, see CLC_PRO.

REAL

The REAL type is encoded in a 32 bit format.

The possible value ranges are shown in the figure below:

When a result is:

between -1,175494e-38 and 1,175494e-38, it is considered to be a DEN;
less than -3.402824e+38, the symbol -INF (for - infinity) is displayed;
greater than +3.402824e+38, the symbol INF (for + infinity) is displayed;
undefined (square root of a negative number), the symbolNAN is displayed.

NOTE: The IEC 559 standard defines two classes of NAN: the silent NAN (QNAN) and the signaling NAN (SNAN). A QNAN is a NAN with a most significant fraction bit while an SNAN is a NAN without a most significant fraction bit (bit number 22). QNANs can be propagated via most arithmetic operations without throwing an exception. As for SNANs, they generally indicate n invalid operation when they are used as operands in arithmetic operations (see %SW17 and %S18).

NOTE: When a DEN (non-standardized number) is used as an operand, the result is not significant.
