Hello!
I am trying to convert AS4 project to AS6. I realized that there is no LoopCont - LCLiScUINT() function block existing in AS6. I am doing a scaling or linearization of analog integer values from sensors.
Is there some replacement for it?
a heads up: when searching for the FUB you might not come across the landing page of the library that contains it: B&R Online Help
→ “This libary is replaced by the Mechatronics libraries.”
I recommend to not use that specific FUB so you won’t have to do it all over again once the FUB becomes unavailable-
unfortunately it looks like this FUB has no successor.
Maybe if I have some more time I can whip up a small method, but this should only be a small method to implement on your own - that would be the most future-proof way I guess
No worries, I can implement it myself. But thank you anyway
I’m just a bit annoyed, that there is no replacement in the successor library.
And according to the linked post, I’m not the only one.
So, LoopConR is supported under AS6 but LoopCont is not?
We have a library which uses LoopCont extensively. Replacing all those functions and function blocks is really tedious…
>So, LoopConR is supported under AS6 but LoopCont is not?
yup, this is what we have. My question is: “Are we sure the new libraries will cover all use cases implemented with LoopCont?“ I’m sure there is a gray area where in some cases the new code will require additional time for testing all cases.
