Incorrect status signals at the L_EsClutchPos function block (elimination)

Eliminated from:
Library LenzeElectricalShaft V01.03.04.00 and higher, from Engineer HighLevel 2.10 SP2 onwards

Behaviour of the new version?
The bOpenDone status signal of the L_EsClutchPos function block now behaves as described in the documentation. However, the bInTarget status signal has not been corrected.




What happens?
In library versions < V01.03.04.00, the bOpenDone and bInTarget status outputs of the L_EsClutchPos function block indicate TRUE, although the electronic clutch has engaged (status signal bClosed = TRUE).

When does the problem occur?
The problem occurs when the clutch function block L_EsClutchPos is in the disengaged state (status signal bClosed = FALSE, bOpenDone = TRUE, bInTarget = TRUE) and the input position dnPosIn_p is at the dnOpenPos_p standstill position. If the electronic clutch L_EsClutchPos is then directly engaged by means of the control input bOpen = TRUE => FALSE, the clutch block changes directly to the engaged state without an engaging phase and without the bOpenDone and bInTarget status signals being reset to FALSE.

Possibilities of diagnosis?
The behaviour can be adjusted by means of the following control sequence:
  • Open electronic clutch L_EsClutchPos with the electrical shaft running (bOpen = FALSE => TRUE)
  • Permanently equate the master position dnPosIn_p to the standstill position dnOpenPos_p
  • Close electronic clutch L_EsClutchPos (bOpen = TRUE => FALSE)

The described behaviour occurred when the bClosed, bOpenDone and bInTarget status outputs indicated TRUE .

Short-term measures/recommendations?
The bOpenDone and bInTarget status signals can be replicated and applied as shown below, depending on the output signals.

Evaluation:
The functional restriction only becomes apparent in the case of a certain control sequence, which is rarely used in practice. The behaviour therefore only occurs rarely in the field.
Due to the added element in the function block interconnection, the bOpenDone and bInTarget signals can be replicated and applied.
