Description

The structure ST_DevControl is used for the cycle counter for the XPSU safety module itself and for the cycle counter for the safety-related outputs of the XPSU safety module. The number of cycles of a safety-related output allows you to determine the number of cycles of the equipment (actuator) connected to this safety-related output.

The structure is connected to the inputs i_astControlOut and i_stControlProc of the function block FB_XpsuMain.

The structure consists of 13 elements. The first seven elements correspond to the maximum number of safety-related outputs an XPSU safety module can have. The remaining six elements correspond to the number of safety-related outputs an XPSUEP extension module has.

Name

Data type

Description

udiMaxNumOp

UDINT

Maximum number of cycles of the safety-related outputs of the XPSU safety module or maximum number of cycles of the XPSU safety module itself.

If the value is set to 0, the cycles are not counted.

xReset

BOOL

If the value of this parameter is set to TRUE, the cycle counter for the corresponding safety-related output is reset to 0.

Such a reset may be required if, for example, you have replaced equipment connected to a safety-related output.

If the maximum number of cycles of the safety-related output is reached (and after you have replaced affected equipment), a reset is required for the counting to resume.

NOTE: After resetting the counter by setting xReset to TRUE, xReset must be set back to FALSE by the application program. If the value remains TRUE, the counter is continuously reset.
