Chapter III General Description of Function Blocks 3.1.2 OR The electrical line diagram for the parallel The symbol of OR is shown connection of a certain number of NO in the follows: contacts is shown as follows: ≥ 1 This function block is called as OR, because the status for at least one of inputs I1 or I2 or I3 is 1 (i.e.
FAB2 Intelligent Controller Logical frame of NOT: 3.1.4 NAND The electrical line diagram for parallel The symbol of NAND in FAB2 is connection of certain number of NC shown as follows: contacts is shown as follows & This function block is called NAND, because only when all I1, I2 and I3 are in status 1 (i.e.
Chapter III General Description of Function Blocks 3.1.5 NOR The electrical line diagram for parallel The symbol of NOR in FAB2 is connection of a certain number of NC shown as follows: contacts is shown as follows: ≥ 1 Only when all the input of NOR function blocks are at a low potential (status 0), the output will be closed (status 1).
FAB2 Intelligent Controller When the status of input are not the same, the output status of XOR is 1. When the status of input are the same, the output status of XOR is 0. Logical frame of XOR: 3.2 Special function blocks (SF) Function Representation Graphic...
Chapter III General Description of Function Blocks RPR (Hold ON time-delay relay) UCN (Up-counter) DCN (Down- counter) MPLR (Single pulse time relay) MPLR AN (analog input block) 3.2.1 DPR Line diagram/Symbol in FAB2 Description After TRG is triggered, the time delay timer starts timing.
FAB2 Intelligent Controller Time Sequence Frame: Description: 1. When the status of TRG input changes from 0 to 1, the time-delay timer starts timing. If Input TRG holds status 1 for a sufficiently long time, the output will be changed to 1 after the time T is over. There is a time delay between the input turning ON and the output turning ON, which is why the ON time-delay is so called.
Chapter III General Description of Function Blocks Time Sequence Frame: Description : 1. When Input TRG is at Status 1, Output Q changes at once to Status 1. When Input TRG changes from 1 to 0 (i.e. the descending edge comes), the internal time delay timer of FAB2 is activated and the Output Q still remains at Status 1.
Page 31
FAB2 Intelligent Controller Time Sequence Frame: Descriptions: 1. Every time the trigger input TRG changes from status 0 to Status 1, the status of Output Q will change accordingly (The status of Q will be reversed). 2. Reset Q to Status 0 via Input R. 3.
Page 32
Chapter III General Description of Function Blocks Notes regarding the time “CW”: 1. When the date system is selected for the timing of a time switch A. For the same output channel, up to 127 time switches can be set, and these switches must be put in order according to the time sequence, e.g.
Page 33
FAB2 Intelligent Controller Secondly: you should select TU, and set it as follows. 24:00 8:00 This setting means no ON time 24:00 Then, it can let Q1 switch on at 6:00 on Monday and switch off at 8:00 on Tuesday. Note: You can directly set time as follows by using Quick II, the programming Software.
Page 34
Chapter III General Description of Function Blocks The following definition should be noted. For example, ON: 5:00 every Sunday OFF: 8:00 every Monday It can be programmed by three blocks as follows: 8:00 24:00 24:00 5:00 Notes: MO: Monday MO-SU: every day from Monday to Sunday TU: Tuesday MO-TH: every day from Monday to Thursday WE: Wednesday...

Chapter III General Description of Function Blocks 8. Clock hold circuit For a FAB2, when there is a power failure, the internal clock will continue running. The time that the FAB2 can maintain the internal clock to run depends on the temperature. When the temperature of the FAB2 is 25 ℃ , the clock is able to continue its normal operation for more than 160 hours after the power is cut off.
FAB2 Intelligent Controller Switch characteristics RS relay is a simple trigger. The output value depends on the input status and the original output status. The following list of true values is used to describe the logic relations: REMARK Status remains the original value Reset Reset (taking priority over Set) 3.2.6 CPG (clock pulse generator)
Chapter III General Description of Function Blocks Time sequence frame is as follows: Notes: 1. Use Parameter T to set ON/OFF time. The assignment range of T is 0.01 ~ 99.99, and the time units can be set respectively to hour (H), minute (M) and second (S).
FAB2 Intelligent Controller Time Sequence Frame: Notes: 1. If the status of Input TRG changes from 0 to 1, the internal timer will be activated. When time T is over, Output Q becomes 1 and then the returned input TRG has no effect on output Q .Only when Input R becomes 1 again Output Q and Timer T will be reset to 0.
Chapter III General Description of Function Blocks Time Sequence Frame(PAR=5): Note: This function is applicable to the cases that counting is required. 3.2.9 DCN Line diagram/Symbol Description in FAB2 R takes priority over other inputs. When R Input R inputs a reset signal, the counter is reset to 0 and output Q resets simultaneously.
FAB2 Intelligent Controller 3.2.10 MPLR (Single-pulse time relay) Line diagram/Symbol Description in FAB2 Trigger an input to activate the single-pulse Input TRG time relay. When the leading edge of TRG comes, a pulse with the duration of T is output. Reset the single-pulse time relay.
