What are function blocks?

Function Block =
Micromachine
A function block basically represents a micromachine operating within Advance

Optima. It receives an input, processes it and returns an output.
Fig. 1 shows this micro machine in the form of a function block. Input to the
machine shown as an arrow enters from the left and is processed by the
machine to produce an output (right arrow).
What the machine actually does is not shown in this example. The operation could,
for example, be multiplication of the input value by the factor 2. Later we will
describe how to define the operation performed by the function block.
Figure 1

Output
Outputs from function blocks can in turn be used as inputs for other function blocks,
by which means chains of function blocks can be set up (see Fig. 2). A chain of
several function blocks is referred to as an application.

= Input 3
There are function blocks which have only an input and no output. In this case, the
block may, for instance, represent a digital or analog output provided in Advance
Optima (see Fig. 3).
The results produced by such function blocks can be output as electrical signals to
the Advance Optima hardware interfaces, where they can be further processed
using conventional techniques.
There are also function blocks which have an output but no input. These may, for
instance, represent digital and analog inputs.

Conventions
There are certain conventions applied in the depiction of function blocks. Inputs to
the function blocks are always drawn as arrows coming from the left; outputs come
out of the function block to the right. This clarity of flow direction makes it possible to
dispense with arrows in many cases and draw simple lines instead.
Arrows = Movement
of Information
The arrows or connections transfer analog, binary and decimal information, i.e.
arrows and connections correspond to different types of information. Attention
should therefore be paid to which arrows are linked with which inputs.
Calculation
Operations
For performing calculations on analog data, function blocks are provided

representing the 4 most basic calculation operations:

Measured Values
from Analyzer
Modules
Until now only those function blocks have been presented which present a link to
outside and which can process this information internally. Until now we have not
been able to integrate measured values and other data with the available function
blocks.
The measured value can probably be described as the most important data item.
The measured value is received via the Component measured value function
block. At system startup time these function blocks are generated automatically
according to the configuration of the analyzers and the number of measured
components.
The Component measured value function block to an Analog input. This function
block is not, however, linked with a physical input, but receives its values internally
from the appropriate analyzer module.
2 Measured Value
Blocks for Each
Component
Two different blocks of measured values are generated for each component (see
Figure 6). One shows the measured value as a percentage of the range of
measured values, while the other shows it in physical units.

for each component.

Function Block Linking and Initializing

Configuration
planning
Before starting a configuration we recommend using a chart to plan the function

blocks needed for the application to be configured and how the inputs and outputs
are linked.
Hardware requirements, e.g. the number of installed and available input and output
terminals, need to be considered.
CAUTION!
The access level 3 password (default: 325465) must be entered in order to
configure an application. Make sure that existing application configurations
and links are not damaged or deleted when configuring.
Function Block Menu

Display
When the function blocks to be linked are selected, only those function blocks
eligible for linking are shown; all other function blocks are represented by .
Softkeys
The following specific softkeys are displayed when an input or output is selected
during function block configuration.
DELETE
LINK
The '(/(7(/,1. softkey allows the operator to remove any links from the
selected input or output.
The !! softkey switches the operator directly to the function block linked to the
input or output selected.
Explanation of
Some parameters apply to every function block. There are explained below.
Individual Parameters
)%1DPH
The system automatically generates a name for any newly added function block,
consisting of the function block type (abbreviated as necessary) and a sequential
number.
Example: For the first Limit monitor type function block the system issues the
name 'Limit1'.
The operator can change this name. The function block name should not exceed 8
characters in length. We recommend assigning the same names to all function
blocks making up an application.
Example: All function blocks used for limit monitoring of the CO component value
receive the name 'Alarm CO' (see Figure 10).

)%(QDEOH
The )%(QDEOH parameter allows the operator to select whether the function
block is activated or not.
Normally the value is set to DFWLYDWHG.
)%9DOXH
The )%9DOXH parameter shows the current function block value.

Example: The Digital output function block uses the )%9DOXH parameter to
indicate whether the output is RQ or RII.
)%6WDWXV
The )%6WDWXV parameter shows the current function block status.

Normally the value is set to 2.. Any other indication is a sign of an error in the
function block.
+:6WDWXV
The +:6WDWXV parameter shows the current status of hardware connected to

the function block, e.g. an analog output.
Normally the value is set to 2.. Any other indication is a sign of an error in the
hardware associated with the function block, e.g. an open line on an analog output.
,QSXW2XWSXW
A function block's ,QSXW and 2XWSXW parameters identify the input and output
links to another function block.
Additionally, the value or status of the linked function block input or output is shown.
Example (refer to Figure 10):

Input
Normally, Input 1 of a Limit Monitor is linked to a Component Measured Value in

an increasing sequence. Thus, the first Limit Monitor in a system is linked to the
first Component Measured Value, the second Limit Monitor to the second
Component Measured Value, etc.
A Limit Monitor and Component Measured Value should always be bound to a
physical unit (ppm, vol%, etc.).
In software version 1.2 and later, the autocalibration standard configuration
incorporates a Hold function for the Component Measured Value, so that Limit
Monitor response is suppressed during calibration.
Caution!
In software version 1.1 the link between an Active Component Multiplexer and a
Component Measured Value should not be broken (risk of a system crash).
Limit Monitors added to the standard configuration must be fully configured, i.e.
including a Hold function.

Feedback
Description
Direct feedback is not possible using the function block architecture. To implement
feedback, a Feedback function block is provided in software version 1.3 and later.
The output of the Feedback function block can be connected to any function block
application input. Feedback connections can be established or application
segments can be separated from each other. With the built-in FIFO the Feedback
function block can also be used as a data buffer.
Incoming data are stored in a FIFO element and released to the output, at the
earliest, after the preset delay times out. If there are several data items in the FIFO
these items are output at equal time intervals, i.e. once an item is output the next
item is output after the delay times out.

After being enabled (input 1 = high) the multivibrator starts the period with a high

preset pulse width. In the "monostable retriggerable" mode, a new low-to-high
transition at the input during the pulse width will restart the pulse width time and
extend the pulse width (watchdog).

counter by one and values stored at each program step are released to the outputs.
Once the last step is reached the program returns to the first program step after one
clock pulse. A low signal at the enable input causes the clock input to have no
effect.
A high signal at the reset input automatically places the outputs in the reset step, or
if this step is not present, sets them low. The step counter is set at program start
time.
The individual program steps are stored in the sequence parameter. The first
program step defined is the reset condition (reset step). One of the next program
steps should program only those outputs whose values are to change. Outputs not
covered by a program step will not be changed.
Any digits are allowed as output values.

Always make sure that you are monitoring the input.

Example: You are operating your unit via a remote HMI and connect a digital output
to input 1 of the Access lock function block. The digital input contact is open, not
inverted and has a value of 0. Your remote HMI is blocked as soon as you confirm
the link between the digital input and the Access lock function block via the
ENTER key. You can no longer operate the unit until you close the contact at the
digital input. If the unit is remotely located and you have no access to the digital
input you are effectively "locked out".
Similarly, changing the "Effect" parameter can cause a sudden lockout: If you have
blocked the remote HMIs and have switched to "Effect on all HMIs", you can no
longer operate the unit.

Range Control
Description
The Range Control function block is used for externally controlled range switching,
e.g. via Digital inputs.
Depending on the mode of operation specified through parameters
either the highest-value digital input is sent to the output as a number (priorityencoded). For example: DI 2 (0000 0011) activates measurement range 2
or the inputs are interpreted as binary numbers and are sent accordingly to the
output (binary - decimal conversion). For example: DI 1 and DI 2 (0000 0011)
activates measurement range 3.

Active Component Multiplexer

Description
The output of this FB always contains the value of the active component (which
must be linked to the inputs in the form of FBs). This FB is only relevant to
analyzers capable of measuring several components with the same detector (e.g.
Caldos 17).
Depending on the number of Analog outputs available, the Component
measured values are already linked with an Active Component MUX both as a
physical unit (e.g. ppm or Vol%) as well as % span in the standard configuration.
Control of the active component occurs in the same way as control of measurement
range through the HMI in menu item &RQILJXUH&RPSRQHQW6SHFLILF
$FWLYH&RPSRQHQW. Additional control inputs and outputs can be used for
external component switching or feedback (as for range switching or feedback).
The Component measured values linked with the inputs are sent to the output in
accordance with the control input (the output, in turn, can be linked to an Analog
output FB via a Hold FB). The control input is interpreted as a real number (=
priority-encoded). The lowest-numbered inputs must be connected first (input 1 first,
followed by input 2, etc.).
The component selected as active is displayed (as a real number) via the Feedb.
output. This output can be used to feedback the selected component.
Caution!
Parameter
In software version 1.1 no other FB should be used between the Comp. meas.
value (phys. or %span) FB and the Active Component MUX FB.
In software version 1.3.2 and later no FB Feedback should be used between the
Comp. meas. value (phys. or %span) FB and the Active Component MUX FB.

Externally Controlled Calibration

Description
The Externally controlled calibration FB can be used, for example, to perform a

calibration via Digital inputs. Gas activation, calibration cell movement and
subsequent waiting for a stable measured value is then performed externally, e.g.
via a PLC.
With the Uras 14, when the calibration cell is inserted the calibration cell gas
concentration values stored in the device are used for correcting the calibration.
Insertion of the calibration cell should also be controlled via a Digital input.
