www.hiquel.com 24

When new module added:

after new position selected!

Delete objects

Select the desired module and delete it by pressing Del.

ADVICE: The module will only be deleted in the configuration page. Any programmed object of the deleted module will not be deleted from your program! This will be detected when you attempt to compile your program. These objects must be deleted manually


www.hiquel.com 25

Program object priority

SLS-500-Configurator interprets the priority of the program objects from left to right and from top to bottom of the program page. The remote numbers are allocated exactly the same way. The base module has the definition L1. All expansion modules have the definition Remote. Beginning with a continuous number from 1. R1 is the first expansion; R2 is the second and so on.

Define in/outputs

If you add a module to the configuration, you can define a name for every digital or analogue input and output. When you use the input or output, the specified name will be displayed. This causes better understanding while programming.


www.hiquel.com 26

Connections Use the connections to connect the individual objects with each other. You can add a new connection object by choosing Line from the menu.

Creation

Symbol:

Data type: Depending on the object, connections can operate with all data types.

Function: The line connects the output of an object to the input of another object. It’s important for the connection that you have the correct direction of the arrow.

Mind the direction of the arrow

The arrowhead has always to be next to the input of the following object.

Example:

Wrong!

The connection was created the wrong way, since the arrowhead points at the output of the digital input. Take a look at the correct version:

Right!


www.hiquel.com 42

Create connections

When you click on the connection object, you will see coloured rectangles on both ends:

If the rectangles are green, the ends are free and are not linked with an object. Now move the cursor to one of the ends and left-click the arrow. Hold the mouse key and drag the line to an object.

You will notice that small blue symbols appear on the object that you drag the line to and that the line snaps to the nearest blue symbol. Select a suitable blue symbol and release the mouse key. The selected symbol turns from green too red. This is confirmation of a correct connection.

With the yellow symbol you can change the exact position of the connection:

Correct connections: Click on the connecting line. Both rectangles must be red:


www.hiquel.com 43

Wrong!

A connection may seem visually to be correct, but if one of the rectangles is be green the connection has not been made. Connect the line with the object again:

Right!

Incremental Encoder The Models HIQUEL-SLS500-R-24V and HIQUEL-SLS500-S-24V use digital inputs Di5-Di8 to receive the signal from the incremental encoder/s The models HIQUEL-SLS500-R-24V and HIQUEL-SLS500-S-24V can each have two incremental encoders connected (Di5/6 – Di7/8).

The Incremental Encoder

An Incremental Encoder transmits signals over two wires. These are called channel A and channel B. The speed of the incremental encoder in which the impulses are sent, is called “Line”.

To process the data in the SLS-500 requires a procedure, which transforms the impulses to a position. This procedure is called „4-times evaluation“, or “quadrature control”.

www.hiquel.com 118

In the diagram A and B represent the two channel inputs from an Encoder. The „quadrature control“ gives information about the direction and the actual position of the encoder. e. g. The encoder has a resolution of 1000 lines, then it is sending 1000 A impulses and 1000 B impulses per revolution. The SLS-500 is converting this into 4000 impulse internally, A and B rising edge and A and B falling edge impulses. Therefore SLS-500 processes 1 encoder revolution into 4000 impulses

NOTE The HIQUEL-SLS-500-Base controller can process 5000

edges per second maximum, combined Di´s 5-8 (2 encoders)

Programming an incremental encoder

In SLS-500-Configurator, encoders are initialised on a binary system variable which is set to 1 using a bit-constant. This binary system-variable must only have the name „ENCODER_XY“ This is case sensitive. Select System from the menu “Flow > System. The following box will appear:


www.hiquel.com 119

From the list select „System binary Memory“ and in the box type „ENCODER_XY“ then click OK.

Symbol:

Data type: Bit

When the binary-system-variable is initialised, you must set the analogue-system-variable „ENCODER_X“ and „ENCODER_Y“ to 0 to delete them. In contrast to „ENCODER_XY“ this is not a binary-system-variable but an analogue-system-variable. The input is case sensitive. (ENCODER_X, ENCODER_Y) Here they are set to 0:

The value of a incremental encoder could also be stored in an analogue memory:

An incremental-encoder could also be set to a certain value:

The PID – Controller

This is DDC-Regulation (direct digital control) for performing the regulation-function mathematically in the SLS-500-Controller. The function of a PID-Controller is to compare an actual value with a predefined value or with a value that is required to change according to time. If there is a difference between these two values, a proportional signal is generated which is used to reduce or eliminate the difference

Proportional – effect

Integral – effect

Differential – effect

Transmission-function of a PID – controller

Different controlled materials react at different rates to heat change, this is why the controller should not change the proportional effect suddenly. Therefore this controller would be realized with so called 2. term control. Using this 2. term regulation the function could be controlled through a adjustment of the proportional-factor to suit many controlled materials.
