blockWindowMonitoring

Sensor function to retrieve window 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 "Window monitoring" from VDI 3813 [1, section 6.1.3, p. 11-12].

Functional Description

"The sensor function Window monitoring (RA-FL section 2, column 2; informative function block Figure 4) provides information on the open/closed state of, e. g., a window casement, a sash, a group of casements, etc., in terms of the binary states “open ” or “closed ”." [1, section 6.1.3, p. 11-12]

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

By default PAR_CAL ist true which leads to a negative logic. That means if the window is closed B is true and B_WINDOW is set to true. If the window is open B is false and B_WINDOW is set to false.

If PAR_CAL is set to false the logic is complementary/inverted. If the window is closed B is false and B_WINDOW is set to true etc..
