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? Thank you! LCLiScUINT()

Hi @michael_w No worries, I can implement it myself. But thank you anyway :slight_smile: 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. Best regards

Hi Andrej, Please take a look at Marcel’s answer on an earlier post for some suggestions.

Thank Marcus, but I think that I cannot find same functionality in MTBasics. But just to mention I am rookie at programming. :wink:

Hi Andrej, depending on what you trying to do here are some options you should take a look at. MTBasicsLimiter MTHydValveLinearization LCRLimScal()

Hi @Kolma 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 …

Hi @michael_w Which FUB should I use as a replacement for LCRLimScal()? Thank you

Hi there, 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 Best regards

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. …

Thank you @marcel.voigt. LCRLimScal() will do the job. I just need to convert INT to REAL beforehand.

Thank you again!
