Ramped Clamp
Description

Ramped Clamp

Requires dwOption-05, Process Control.

Following the rising edge of the Enable signal, the actual output clamps ramp from zero to the upper and lower clamps, according to the Ramp Time.

The internal Ramp parameter ramps from zero to 100% and is multiplied by the upper and lower clamp values to produce the actual output clamps.

Availability
  • Available only in the dw2xx & dw2xx-v2 series products
  • Requires library: Process Control (option -05)
  • Firmware versions 0x2024 and later

Parameters

Input Input, Read-write, Analog (signed 16-bit integer)
-327.67 % to 327.67 %
Upper Clamp Input, Read-write, Analog (signed 16-bit integer)
-327.67 % to 327.67 %

Ramped Clamp - Upper Clamp

The function block output can not exceed this value.

The actual, active clamp is the product of Ramp and this value.


Lower Clamp Input, Read-write, Analog (signed 16-bit integer)
-327.67 % to 327.67 %

Ramped Clamp - Lower Clamp

The function block output can not be less than this value.

The actual, active clamp is the product of Ramp and this value.


Ramp Time Internal Parameter, Read-write, Time or Rate (signed 16-bit integer)
0.1 s to 3000.0 s

Ramped Clamp - Ramp Time

The actual upper and lower clamps are the product of Ramp and their preset values.

Select units, either 100% ramp time in seconds, or ramp rate per second, %/s.


Enable Input, Read-write, Boolean (signed 16-bit integer)

Ramped Clamp - Enable

The clamps and the Ramped Clamp Output are immediately reset to zero while this parameter is inactive, Reset

Ramping begins at the rising edge of this input.


0 = Reset
1 = Enable
Ramp Internal Parameter, Read-only, Set to default on hard initialization, Analog (signed 16-bit integer)
0.00 % to 100.00 %

Ramped Clamp - Ramp

Read-only. Increases from zero to 100% according to the ramp time / rate, following the rising edge of Enable.

Output Output, Read-only, Set to default on hard initialization, Analog (signed 16-bit integer)
-327.67 % to 327.67 %

Ramped Clamp - Output

Read-only. Equal to Ramped Clamp Input when not limited by the active clamps.
