Structure Text Programming - Codesys 12

The document outlines various structured text functions used in control programming, including mathematical operations and timers. It emphasizes the importance of using subroutines to manage complexity in large control programs, as per the IEC61131 standard. An example function 'TEST' is provided, demonstrating how to define and call a function with input parameters in structured text.

Function Description

REAL_TO_INT(A); converts A from real to integer


REPLACE(IN1:=A,IN2:=B,L:= will replace C characters at position D in string A with
C,P:=D); string B
RIGHT(IN:=A,L:=B); will return the right A characters of string B
ROL(IN:=A,N:=B); rolls left value A of length B bits
ROR(IN:=A,N:=B); rolls right value A of length B bits
RS(A,B); RS flip flop with input A and B
RTC(IN:=A,PDT:=B); will set and/or return current system time
R_TRIG(A); a rising edge trigger
SEL(A,B,C); if a=0 output B if A=1 output C
SHL(IN:=A,N:=B); shift left value A of length B bits
SHR(IN:=A,N:=B); shift right value A of length B bits
SIN(A); finds the sine of A
SQRT(A); square root of A
SR(S1:=A,R:=B); SR flipflop with inputs A and B
SUB(A,B); A-B
TAN(A); finds the tangent of A
TOF(IN:=A,PT:=B); off delay timer
TON(IN:=A,PT:=B); on delay timer
TP(IN:=A,PT:=B); pulse timer - a rising edge fires a fixed period pulse
TRUNC(A); converts a real to an integer, no rounding
XOR(A,B,...); logical exclusive or of inputs A,B,...

Figure 281 Structured Text Functions

Control programs can become very large. When written in a single program these become con-
fusing, and hard to write/debug. The best way to avoid the endless main program is to use subroutines
to divide the main program. The IEC61131 standard allows the definition of subroutines/functions as
shown in Figure 282. The function will accept up to three inputs and perform a simple calculation. It
then returns one value. As mentioned before ControlLogix does not support overloading, so the func-
tion would not be able to have a variable size argument list.

....
D := TEST(1.3, 3.4); (* sample calling program, here C will default to 3.14 *)
E := TEST(1.3, 3.4, 6.28); (* here C will be given a new value *)
....

FUNCTION TEST : REAL


VAR_INPUT A, B : REAL; C : REAL := 3.14159; END VAR
TEST := (A + B) / C;
END_FUNCTION
