Element Drawing

3.3 Logic Sheet Drawing

The procedure of drawing is explained with the following logic sheet as an example.

(1) This logic sheet is a logic to output the sum of two AI (Analog Input) signals to AO (Analog Output) signal.

3.3.1 Element Drawing

(1) ‘AI277’ is to be drawn. Choose the element to be drawn from a stencil and drag it to the position you wish it to be drawn. Choose ‘AI’ in the “PROCESS FUNCTIONS”. ‘AI’

element is drawn at the designated position.

(2) The “Create New - Body Object Selection” dialogue box is displayed. Put a mark on

“Create new Body Object” as an example and then choose the [Next] button. In case of using the data that were already set up by other Window, etc., choose “Select existing Body Object” and then an appropriate tag.

Note

When AI is newly created by LogicCreator (FLIPPER) as the above, it should be set with necessary setup by other Window (I/O allocation of System Window).

(3) The “Create New - Property Setup for Body Object” dialogue box is displayed. The property should be set up. Input each item that you prefer to set up from “Name”(Signal Name) to the Input limit high (%) . Choose the [Next] button after the input.

Name: This is not used in English-version system.

Name1: Input a signal name.

Tag: Input a tag name. Otherwise, AI*(* is a number) is automatically numbered as default.

Signal type: Input a number value for a signal type.

Signal range low: Input the minimum number value for a signal range Signal range high: Input the maximum number value for a signal range.

Input limit low (%): Input the minimum number value for the input limit.

Input limit high (%): Input the maximum number value for the input limit.

(4) The “Create New - Property Setup for FIN Object” dialogue box is displayed. There is no item for input. Choose the [Complete] button.

Note

The signal name and the tag name should be within 64 single-byte characters and 32 respectively.

(5) The “Property” dialogue box is displayed. After confirming the name of the data shown in the “General” item, choose the [OK] button. In case of changing the property contents such as a signal name, a tag name, etc., change the setup by selecting the “Edit Property”

button. For the items to be changed, follow the same method as shown in Chapter 2.2.1 (3).

(6) The setup of ‘AI277’ is completed. Another ‘AI’ should be drawn with the same operation.

(7) Again, choose ‘AI’ from a stencil. ‘AI’ element is drawn at the designated position.

(8) The “Create New - Body Object Selection” dialogue box is displayed. Put a mark on

“Select existing Body Object”. Choose Tag from the list that is displayed at the lower part of the dialogue box. Here, choose ‘AI277’as an example. Selection of an existing body object is implemented through reference of objects that were already created as

(9) The “Create New - Property Setup for FIN Object” dialogue box is displayed.

Choose the [Complete] button.

(10) The “Property” dialogue box is displayed. The setup is the same as explained in Chapter 2.2.1 (5). Choose the [OK] button. The setup of ‘AI277’ is completed.

(11) Then, ‘AO001’ is to be drawn to indicate an output signal to the sheet. After choosing the element to be drawn from a stencil, drag it to the position you wish it to be drawn. Choose

‘AO’ in the “PROCESS FUNCTIONS” stencil. ‘AO’ element is drawn at the designated position.

(12) The “Create New - Body Object Selection” dialogue box is displayed. Put a mark on

“Create new Body Object” as an example and then choose the [Next] button.

(13) The “Create New - Property Setup for Body Object” dialogue box is displayed. The property should be set up. Input each item that you prefer to set up from “Name”(Signal Name) to the output limit high (%). Choose the [Next] button after the input.

(14) Name: This is not used in English-version system.

Name1: Input a signal name.

Tag: Input a tag name.Otherwise, AI * (* is a number) is automatically numbered as default.

Signal type: Input a number value for a signal type.

Signal range low: Input the minimum number value for a signal range.

Signal range high: Input the maximum number value for a signal range.

Output limit low (%): Input the minimum number value for the output limit Output limit high (%): Input the maximum number value for the output limit.

(15) The “Create New - Property Setup for Fin Object” dialogue box is displayed. There is no item for input. Choose the [Complete] button.

(16) The “Property” dialogue box is displayed. After confirming the name of the data shown in the “General” item, choose the [OK] button. In case of changing the property contents such as a signal name, a tag name, etc., change the setup by selecting the “Edit Property”

button. For the items to be changed, follow the same method as shown in Chapter 2.2.1 (3).

Here, the following shows 158 is the No. for the Control System as an example.

(17) Next, we will draw ‘SUM’, the element to calculate the sum. Choose ‘SUM’ from

“PROCESS FUNCTIONS” and drag it to the position you wish it to be drawn. It will be positioned between ‘AI277’ and ‘AO157’ here.

(18) On right-clicking ‘SUM’, the pop-up menu is to be displayed. Choose [Property].

The “Property Editor” dialogue box is shown. You can change number values, etc. here.

Gain to input No.1: Input a number value of the gain to input No.1 Gain to input No.2: Input a number value of the gain to input No.2

Name: Input a name

Name (Second Language): Input a name of the second language

Tag: Input a tag name

Data type: Input a data type.

Low range (engineering scale): Input a minimum value for engineering scale Range.

Choose the [OK] button.
