Description

The FB_FrequencyRelay function block monitors a frequency and checks whether it is within a defined range. The logic realistically maps normally closed ( #NO_13_14 ) and normally open ( #NC_21_22 ) contacts, allowing virtual inputs to be used for enabling (e.g., for testing or grading). In simulation mode, the behavior can be reproduced without real signals.

Note: This logic is intended as a template. Before productive use, it must be integrated, tested, and approved by qualified personnel. Inadequate integration can lead to faulty switching states.

How it works
Reset

#Reset resets the block to a safe initial state: normally closed contact inactive, normally open contact active (error/idle state). Status indicates reset.

Disabled

If #Enable is not set, both contacts remain off. The block behaves passively without error warning.

Frequency rating

The measured frequency ( #Freq ) is checked against the lower and upper limits ( #LO_Limit , #HI_Limit ). If it is within the range, #FreqOK is set.

simulation

In simulation mode, #FreqOK directly controls the outputs: normally closed contact shows valid frequency, normally open contact shows invalid frequency.

Normal operation

In real operation, the inputs also act as releases:

  • #NO_13_14 is only active if #Input_13 is set and the frequency is valid.
  • #NC_21_22 is only active if #Input_21 is set and the frequency is out of range (inverted).

Status and diagnostics are reset if no errors are present.

Technical details
  • Inputs: #Enable , #Reset , #SimMode , #Freq , #LO_Limit , #HI_Limit , #Input_13 , #Input_21
  • Internal state: #FreqOK – TRUE if frequency is within the allowed bandwidth
  • Outputs: #NO_13_14 (normally closed), #NC_21_22 (normally closed)
  • Status & Diagnosis: #Error , #Status , #DiagnosticCode
  • Modes: Reset, Disabled, Simulation, Real-time
  • Logic: Frequency range test with optional input enable and contact mapping
Possible applications
  • Frequency monitoring in power supply and drive systems
  • Pre-validation of frequency conditions in simulation mode
  • Integration into control and alarm chains for transparency of frequency deviations
  • Linking measured values with enabled contacts for adaptive controls

Note: A complete technical inspection and approval by qualified personnel is required before productive use.

compatibility
