SMC_LimitCircularVelocity (FB)¶

FUNCTION_BLOCK SMC_LimitCircularVelocity

This function block limits the path velocities of circular elements depending on the radius.

For a more general function block that limits the path velocity for all kinds of path elements, please see SMC_LimitDynamics.

In order to limit the acceleration to a prescribed value, the velocity of the arc at the transition sqrt(a*r) must not be exceeded. The function block controls the transition between two elements (line on circular arc, circular arc on line or circular arc on circular arc) and adapts the end velocity of the first element so that the acceleration jump will not exceed the value dMaxAccJump. Furthermore, the function block limits the acceleration in X and Y to the value dMaxAcc.

InOut:

Scope	Name	Type	Initial	Comment
Input	bExecute	BOOL	FALSE	Execution starts on the rising edge.
	bAbort	BOOL	FALSE	If TRUE, the current processing of this function block is aborted
	bAppend	BOOL	FALSE	As long as this input remains FALSE, poqDataOutQueue will be cleared at each reset. As long as it remains TRUE, newly incoming data will be written to the end of the DataOutQueue.
	poqDataIn	POINTER TO SMC_OUTQUEUE	NULL	This variable points to the SMC_OUTQUEUE structure object, which contains the SMC_GEOINFO objects of the path; typically it points on the output poqDataOut of the preceding module (e.g. the SMC_NCDecoder ).
	dMaxAcc	LREAL	0	This input variable gives the maximum acceleration value permissible for circular arcs. A value equal to 0 will cause no check to be done.
	dMaxAccJump	LREAL	0	This input variable gives the maximum acceleration jump for a transition of two objects. A value equal to 0 will cause no check to be done.
	nSizeOutQueue	UDINT	0	This variable contains the size of the data buffer, the list of SMC_GEOINFO structure objects will be written to. This buffer must be able to hold at least five SMC_GEOINFO objects. Otherwise, SMC_LimitCircularVelocity will not execute any actions at all. Its size may be predefined, but may be modified later only during a reset. It is recommended to create the buffer as described by the example below: ExampleBuf: ARRAY[1..50] of SMC_GeoInfo. The correct buffer size will then be retrieved by use of the operator sizeof(ExampleBuf).
	pbyBufferOutQueue	POINTER TO ARRAY [0..0] OF SMC_GEOINFO	NULL	This input must point to the first byte of the memory area that is allocated for the SMC_OUTQUEUE structure. This area must be at least as big as defined in nSizeOutQueue. Typically the allocation of the memory buffer is done in the declaration part of the IEC-program by defining an array of SMC_GEOINFO (e.g. BUF: ARRAY[1..50] OF SMC_GEOINFO; for a buffer that can store 50 path elements). The value may be predefined, but may be modified later on only during a reset.
Output	bDone	BOOL	FALSE	This variable will be set to TRUE as soon as the input data from poqDataIn has been processed completely. Thereafter, the module will not perform any further actions until it gets reset. If input bExecute is FALSE, bDone will be reset to FALSE.
	bBusy	BOOL	FALSE	TRUE while execution of function block is not finished
	bError	BOOL	FALSE	Signals that an error has occurred within the function block
	wErrorID	SMC_ERROR	SMC_NO_ERROR	Error identification
	poqDataOut	POINTER TO SMC_OUTQUEUE	NULL	This output points on the SMC_OUTQUEUE structure managing the new SMC_GEOINFO objects.
