Function description
General
This function block is used for the redundant control of two identical devices depending on the influencing factors requests ( xEnOne and xEnTwo ), operating hours ( uiOperatingHours1 and uiOperatingHours2 ), running states ( xFb1 and xFb2 ), fault states ( xAlarm1 and xAlarm2 ) and the operating mode for sequence determination ( eModeRedundance ). The enablement of the lead and, if necessary, the standby device is determined internally and, taking into account the current sequence iCurrentSequence is transferred to the device outputs xCmd1 and xCmd2 overwritten. \
Requests xEnOne and xEnTwo
They are used to determine whether only the lead device or both the lead and the standby device should be requested. \

Output fault xErr
It indicates a discrepancy between the requests and the fault states of the devices. The function table describes the constellations that activate the output xErr ( = TRUE ), i.e. indicate a fault. In all other cases the output xErr is not active ( = FALSE ).\

Output iCurrentSequence
It always shows the current sequence of the two devices. The first digit always indicates the device number of the lead device ( example: iCurrentSequence = 1X … lead device = device 1 ) The second digit always indicates the device number of the follower device. ( example: iCurrentSequence = X2 … follower device = device 2 )\
Setpoint / parameter xConOperatingHours
In the TRUE state the follow switching is triggered on each execution of the function block depending on the operating hours and operation messages ( when xEnFb = TRUE ) of devices 1 and 2. In the FALSE state the follow switching can only be triggered by a rising edge at the input xUpdate . \
Setpoint / parameter xEnFb
In the TRUE state the running states of devices 1 and 2 are evaluated and considered in the follow switching. In the FALSE state the device outputs of devices 1 and 2 are evaluated and considered in the follow switching.\
Setpoint / parameter wTolerance
This setpoint determines the maximum operating hours difference before switching the lead and the follower device based on operating hours. \
Setpoint / parameter eModeRedundance
This setpoint defines the operating mode of sequence determination. In automatic mode the sequence is determined automatically. Forcing the sequence to ForceComponent1 or ForceComponent2 is done by deliberately influencing the internal states of the operating hours counters or the setpoint/parameter wTolerance. The sequence switch in case of a fault therefore remains available. \

Switching with low priority depending on operating hours, operation messages ( xFb ) and enable outputs ( xCmd ) of devices 1 and 2
A reassessment and re-determination with low priority can be triggered in each case as follows:
xConOperatingHours = TRUE and / or rising edge at the input xUpdate

Conditions
Lead device

FALSE, TRUE, H/L
no reassessment
TRUE
FALSE, TRUE, H/L
same operation messages ( xFb = TRUE or = FALSE ) or same enable outputs ( xCmd = TRUE or = FALSE ) of the devices
Device with lower operating hours count
TRUE
FALSE, TRUE, H/L
One device in operation ( xFb = TRUE ) or one device enabled ( xCmd = FALSE )
Switch to the device with lower operating hours count if operating hours difference > wTolerance
FALSE

uiOperatingHours1 = uiOperatingHours2 = 0 ( no operating hours present )
Swap lead and follower device
FALSE

uiOperatingHours1 or uiOperatingHours2 > 0

Legend: L/H … rising edge, H/L … falling edge\
Device outputs xCmd1 and xCmd2
The device outputs are finally determined as follows ( xIgnoreAlarmXFollowerDevice = FALSE ):
Lead device = device 1
xCmd1 = TRUE: The lead device is requested and at least one device is requested and device 1 is not faulty xCmd1 = FALSE: In all other cases
xCmd2 = TRUE: The follower device is requested and at least one device is requested and device 2 is not faulty xCmd2 = FALSE: In all other cases
Lead device = device 2
xCmd1 = TRUE: The follower device is requested and at least one device is requested and device 1 is not faulty xCmd1 = FALSE: In all other cases
xCmd2 = TRUE: The lead device is requested and at least one device is requested and device 2 is not faulty xCmd2 = FALSE: In all other cases
The device outputs are finally determined as follows ( xIgnoreAlarmXFollowerDevice = TRUE and at the same time not both devices are faulty ):
Lead device = device 1
xCmd1 = TRUE: The lead device is requested and at least one device is requested and device 1 is not faulty xCmd1 = FALSE: In all other cases
xCmd2 = TRUE: The follower device is requested and at least one device is requested. xCmd2 = FALSE: In all other cases
Lead device = device 2
xCmd1 = TRUE: The follower device is requested and at least one device is requested xCmd1 = FALSE: In all other cases
xCmd2 = TRUE: The lead device is requested and at least one device is requested and device 2 is not faulty xCmd2 = FALSE: In all other cases
