Flow control

Type Function module

Input IN BOOL (control input)
REQ BOOL ( Request for automatic mode)
ENQ BOOL ( Enable for output Q)
RST BOOL (asynchronous reset input)
Output Q BOOL (switching output for valve)
STATUS BYTE (ESR compliant status output)
FLOW_CONTROL switches a valve at the output Q when the input IN = TRUE. In addition, the valve can also be switched via the input RE. REQ = TRUE turns the valve on for the time T_AUTO and will be locked for the time T_DELAY. after the time T_DELAY the valve can be turned on again on REQ. During this lock period T_DELAY the valve may be controlled by the input IN. An ESR compatible status output STATUS indicates the status of the module. Both the REQ and IN can only switch the output Q when the input ENQ is set to True.
Status = 100 Ready
Status = 101 Valve on by a TRUE at IN
Status = 102 Valve on by a TRUE at REQ
Status = 103 Reset is executed

Setup T_AUTO TIME (valve switch time in automatic mode)
T_DELAY TIME(valve disable Time in automatic mode)
