Defining a signal controller with frequency

1.  Open the signal controller editor (Opening and using the signal controller editor).

2.  Click on the top entry in the Navigator.

The base data of the signal controller opens.

You can define a new signal controller or change the settings for the selected signal controller.

Element

Description

Name

Label for the top entry in the navigator:

no name: Signal Controller is displayed by default in the Navigator and the signal controller number is added to it.

The signal controller number is generated automatically.

Controller frequency

Number of calls of the signal controller per simulation second, value range 1-10.

The signal controller frequency controls the frequency of signal controllers during the simulation.

A warning is displayed if the signal controller frequency is incompatible with the simulation parameter Simulation resolution.

The least common multiple of the frequencies of all signal controllers must be a factor of the simulation resolution.

Check minimum times in interstage programs

If this option is selected, the target signal states of the individual signal groups have at least the minimum period specified in the signal groups.
