blockDewpointMonitoring

Sensor function to retrieve dewpoint state from physical sensor

Extends from Interfaces.Partial.PartialFunction (Superclass for all function blocks to provide graphics and enforce implementation of functionality).

Information

Overview

Block that implements function "Dewpoint monitoring" from VDI 3813 [1, section 6.1.4, p. 12-13].

Functional Description

"The sensor function Dewpoint monitoring (RA-FL section 2, column 3; informative function block Figure 5) provides information on the risk of dew formation at the measuring site in terms of the states “dewpoint reached” or “dewpoint not reached”." [1, section 6.1.4, p. 12-13]

The calibration parameter PAR_CAL is used to choose the right contact logic.

By default PAR_CAL ist true which leads to a positive logic. That means if dewpoint limit is reached B is true and B_DEW is set to true. If dewpoint limit is not reached B is false and B_DEW is set to false.

If PAR_CAL is set to false the logic is complementary/inverted. If dewpoint limit is reached B is false and B_DEW is set to true etc..
