Function description

General

This function block controls a variable-speed fan by means of a continuous control signal rHA, which in automatic operation (eManModeN = eManNum.Auto) is taken unchanged from the input rY is adopted. The general enable of the fan is via the request xEn and the enable signal xHB. Essentially the following function blocks are used:

• ManBin

• ManNum

• AirShortage

• CTime

• OperatingHours

Release - fan before manual override xAB

The release - fan before manual override xAB is activated (= TRUE) if the following conditions are met simultaneously: Case 1: xEn = TRUE xMSwitch = TRUE xAlarmControl = FALSE Case 2: xEn = TRUE xMSwitch = TRUE xAlarmControl = TRUE xAlarm = FALSE In all other situations the enable - fan before manual override is xAB is not activated (= FALSE).

Release - fan after manual override xHB

The enable - fan after manual override xHB corresponds to the release - fan before manual override xAB, additionally extended by a manual override module. The enable can generally only occur if the forced lockout of the fan after manual override is not active (xForce = FALSE) and the collective fault indication is not active (xAlarm = FALSE).

xAB	eManModeB	xHB	Notes
FALSE	eMANBIN.Auto	FALSE	Manual override module in automatic
TRUE	eMANBIN.Auto	TRUE	Manual override module in automatic
X	eMANBIN.ManOn	TRUE	Manual override module in manual operation On
X	eMANBIN.ManOff	FALSE	Manual override module in manual operation Off

Legend: X = any

Maintenance switch indication xMSwitch

xMSwitch = TRUE: service switch was not triggered (normal condition) xMSwitch = FALSE: maintenance switch has been triggered (fault state)

Forced lockout of the fan after manual override xForce

xForce = FALSE: no forced lockout (normal condition) xForce = TRUE: forced lockout (exceptional condition)

Operating hours and switching cycles

The number of operating hours and switching cycles are recorded (= counting process active) if the fan running indication xFb is active and at the same time the collective fault indication xAlarm is not active (= FALSE). The results are available at the counter outputs udiOperatingHours and udiCountFb available.

Write access to the counter values

Via the path 'InstanceName._OperatingHours.udiOperatingHours' or 'InstanceName._OperatingHours.udiCountFb' write access to both counters is possible.

Prerequisite for the use of the function block FanAnalog

The use of the TimeRead2 function block is required for correct operation.

Date / time of the last operation of the fan dtLastFb

At the output dtLastFb the current date / time is available during the counting process. At the output dtLastFb the date / time at the end of the last counting process is available outside the counting process. At the output dtLastFb the initialization value DT#1970-1-1-0.0.0 is output before the first counting process.

Operating monitoring

The operating monitoring can be enabled (= TRUE) or disabled (= FALSE) by the setpoint / parameter xFbControl When monitoring is disabled the operating monitoring fault indication xAlarmFb is always disabled (= FALSE). When monitoring is enabled the operating monitoring fault indication xAlarmFb is activated (= TRUE) if the following conditions are present simultaneously for a minimum duration udiFbControlTime the following conditions are given: xHB and xFb = unequal (enable state and operating state do not match) eAOO = HVACTYPES.eManBin.Auto (manual override - hardware for the enable in automatic) xFbControl = TRUE (operating monitoring is enabled) The operating monitoring fault indication xAlarmFb is reset (= FALSE) if at least one of the following conditions is met: eAOO = HVACTYPES.eManBin.Auto (reversion to automatic operation of the manual override - hardware) xQuit = TRUE (reset of the monitorings is active) xFbControl = FALSE (operating monitoring disabled)

Air shortage monitoring

The air shortage monitoring is performed by evaluating the states at the inputs xPFb or xFb. The fault indication of the air shortage monitoring xAlarmPFb is activated (= TRUE) if, with monitoring enabled (xPFbControl = TRUE) during the signal delay of the air shortage monitoring, udiPFbControlTime permanently the input xPFb is not active (= FALSE) and the input xFb is active (= TRUE). The fault indication of the air shortage monitoring xAlarmPFb is deactivated (= FALSE) if the conditions for activation are no longer present and at the same time the monitoring is disabled (xPFbControl = FALSE) and/or the reset of the fault indications (monitorings) is active (xQuit = TRUE).

Collective fault indication xAlarm

The collective fault indication is activated (= TRUE) if at least one of the following described conditions is fulfilled. xAlarmIn = TRUE (fault indication of the fan is active) xAlarmFB = TRUE (error from the operational monitoring) xAlarmPFB = TRUE (error from the air shortage monitoring) xMSwitch = FALSE (service switch in off position) In all other cases the collective fault is not active (= FALSE).

Control signal fan before manual override rAA

The control signal of the fan before manual override rAA is taken unchanged from the input Control signal - speed rY if either the output xHB and / or the input xFb are active. In all other situations the control signal rAA is fixed to the value 0.0 %.

Control signal fan after manual override rHA

The actuator control signal after manual override rHA corresponds to the control signal of the fan before manual override rAA additionally extended by a manual override module.

X	eMANNUM.Auto	rAA	Manual override module in automatic
X	eMANNUM.Man	rManValue	Manual override module in manual operation

Collective automatic-mode message xAuto

The collective automatic-mode message xAuto is activated (= TRUE) if the following conditions are met simultaneously:

• Input eAOO = HVACTYPES.eManBin.Auto

• Input eAO = HVACTYPES.eManNum.Auto

• Setpoint / parameters eManModeB = eMANBIN.Auto

• Setpoint / parameters eManModeN = eMANNUM.Auto
