Kevin,
You did understand it correctly. This is exactly what I wanted. Although I
had already figured out the OSP and inverting the output part, the first
lines were just the ones I needed.
You probably made a typing error in line 7 because, I think, it should
branch to line 10 instead of 11.
I'm still going to use the GDEV blocks for the solenoids because whenever
the CALC block is switched to MANL there is a (big) possibility that one of
the BO's is activated and will remain activated. By connecting the MA.~
parameter from the CALC block to the INTLCK parameter of the GDEV blocks
this can be prevented.
Many thanks for the quick response and a fine working solution.
Regards,
Michel

Michael,
If I understand correctly you want to trigger a series of solenoid valves
in sequence every X seconds. Each solenoid valve to stay open for Y
seconds, with the next solenoid valve in sequence to open as the prior one
closes.
I'd probably do the logic in a CALCA or CALC block. Something like this
ought to work. BO01 - 4 are outputs to drive solenoids. I'd just use COUT
blocks or an MCOUT connected to BO01-4 to drive simple solenoids.
type = CALCA
period = 2 (execute each second)
ii01 = seconds between cycle repeats
ii02 = seconds for each solenoid
timini = 1 (so OSPs don't trigger on initialize)
1 in ii02
2 stm m01 ; store SV on time in mem for osp
3 inc io01
4 in io01 ;
5 in ii01 ;
6 sub
7 bip 11 ; on new cycle go to init
8 clr bo05 ; otherwise clear cycle flag
9 gto 13 ; and skip initialize
10 clr io01 ; initialize second counter
11 set bo05 ; set in cycle flag
12
13 in bo05 ; on bo01 to 1
14 osp m01 ; generate signal for SV 1
15 out bo01
16 in ~bo01 ; on SV1 finish
17 osp m01 ; generate signal for SV 2
18 out bo02 ;
19 in ~bo02 ; on SV2 finish
20 osp m01 ; generate signal for SV 3
21 out bo03 ;
22 in ~bo03 ; on SV3 finish
23 osp m01 ; generate signal for SV 4
24 out bo04
25 end
27

Hi list,
We are going to replace a local relay / timer driven filter cleaning
sequence by "something" in I/A.
We therefore need to separately activate 4 solenoids, one after the oth=
er,
for a variable number of seconds (most likely 2). The interval between
activating the solenoids should also be variable.
I have already made something with a Calc block that generates seconds =
( 0
to 62) connected to a AIN block. On the four boolean alarm limits I
connected the solenoids using a GDEV with the pulse option on. But ther=
e
must be something more brilliant than this, without the use of a DEP bl=
ock.
The solenoids will be connected (2?wire) to FBM41C/42C, therefore a PLB=
solution is an option.
All suggestions are more than welcome.
thanks,
Michel
