RS block

Short summary

Name	`RS`
→POU type	→function block
Category	Standard (safe), Bistable
Conform to →IEC-standard	no restrictions
Graphical interface
Available since	version 1.0.0 (for Neuron Power Engineer) - initial variant version 3.8.0 (for library `Standard (safe)`): block provided in this library

Functionality

The block serves for short-term or lasting storage of logical states. Hence it is the equivalent to the seal-in circuit known in the contactor technique.

→Turning input S on triggers output Q1 to return value TRUE (or an equivalent) . Turning input R1 on triggers output Q1 to return value FALSE (or an equivalent). The identification R1 indicates that this input is dominant.

In-/outputs

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`S`	`BOOL`	set
Inputs:	`R1`	`BOOL`	reset (dominant)
Outputs:	`Q1`	`BOOL`

Input EN and output ENO are available when →calling the block. See "Execution control: EN, ENO" for information on input EN and output ENO.

See:

"Blocks for safe logic" whether this block is supported for developing safety-relevant applications.
"Highlighting safe logic in the FBD-editor" for the effects when using the block as a block for safe logic.

Example for usage within ST-editor

PROGRAM Test

VAR

        DB_On     : RS;

        Out       : BOOL;

        TriggerS  : BOOL;

        TriggerR1 : BOOL;

    END_VAR

    DB_On(S := TriggerS, R1 := TriggerR1, Q1 => Out);

    (* Instance of block 'RS' is called. *)

    (* Input 'S' gets value from 'TriggerS' variable. Input 'R1' gets value from 'TriggerR1' variable.*)

    (* Output 'Q' returns TRUE, if 'TriggerS' is TRUE and 'TriggerR1' is FALSE. Output 'Q' returns FALSE, if 'TriggerR1' is TRUE. *)

    (* Variable 'Out' accesses the output 'Q1'. *)

END_PROGRAM

When creating your application within the ST-editor, enter a call of a block by typing the text as requested by the syntax or use Content Assist.
