Name: Partner
Explanation: In the list boxes, the 8 status bits of the output byte are assigned to the
communication partners to be monitored. The partners can be selected in
the 8 list boxes. The list boxes display only the partners with which the TIM
can actually communicate; in other words, to which a connection was
configured.
Bit status: Status = 0: Problem on partner or bit not assigned
Status = 1: Partner OK
The OpInputMonitor system object
The OpInputMonitor indicates the status of operator input to the CPU (with command,
setpoint, and parameter input). The current status can be displayed to the operator for each
user program in a suitable form, for example using the LEDs, on an operator panel etc.
Note
The OpInputMonitor system object can only be included once per TD7onTIM.
TD7onTIM should therefore have the OpInputMonitor system object added when one or
more of the following objects is used with this TD7onTIM:
● Cmd01B_S (Command object for send direction)
● Set01W_S (Setpoint object for send direction)
● Par12D_S (Parameter object for send direction)
The OpInputMonitor is recommended particularly when commands are entered over digital
inputs, for example using buttons connected to them. This also applies to the situation when
setpoint and parameter entries are transmitted as the result of the send trigger signal and
when this triggering is over a digital input, for example, once again using a button.
Using OpInputMonitor reduces the risk of incorrect input when the entries are made over
digital inputs. For these inputs, a
Minimum input time can be specified for OpInputMonitor, in
other words, the button must be pressed for the minimum time. Accidental activation of a
button does not then lead to unwanted command, setpoint or parameter transfer. When the
minimum input time has elapsed and the button can be released, OpInputMonitor indicates
this with its
operator input status byte in the Input OK bit.
Apart from the minimum duration, a
maximum input time can also be set for digital inputs.
This allows a button that is sticking or defective digital inputs that supply a permanent 1
signal to be detected in good time. Such errors are once again indicated in the
operator input
status byte
of OpInputMonitor, in this case in the input error bit.
The two times and the code bits mentioned above are relevant only for operator input over
digital inputs.
For
all types of operator input, in other words both for input over digital inputs as well as
input over the memory or data blocks, OpInputMonitor also returns the error status
1 out-of-n
error
. This is set when TD7onTIM has detected one of the following input errors:
