1. Description
A complete turntable with a maximum of 8 spurs, pallet positioning on the turntable without a stop and positioning of the turntable itself can be
realised by using the function blocks described in here.

2. FC_TTPresetData
Initializes the global data for the turntable i.e. power On, auto mode....

2.1. Parameter Description

Most of the parameters are self-explaining and therefore not described in here.
2.1.1. iCommunicationStruc
This is used to create static variables inside of the turntable logic. The maximum size is 8 Bytes.
The variables are stored in the TTMaster interface DB.
FC_TTPresetData reads them back into the temp area #stat.

2.2. Version 8.0

First Release

3. FC_TTSpur
Shall be called once for every turntable spur.
This function retrieve the request from the user program for sending a
pallet into/out of the turntable.

3.1. Parameter Description

3.1.1. iManualStartTT
By this input parameter the turntable moves to the corresponding
position for this spur. For this function the ConveyorJobID is needed as
well. The "MoveWithJobIdXX" can be set by the user (HMI). The DBbits "MoveWithJobIdXXActive" and "InPositionWithJobIdXX" will be
set by the FC_TTSpur and can be used for visualization on the HMI.

Depending on the iConveyorJobID the turntable will move to the required position automatically.
3.1.2. iSpurJobID
The iSpurJobID describes the position (degree) of the spur. The counting direction is clockwise and starts
at the main entry with 0 degree.
Only one of these 8 values are permitted:
99 (For 0 degree) / 60 / 90 / 120 / 180 / 240 / 270 / 300
3.1.3. iConveyorJobID
The information of sending in or out is given by the ConveyorJobID. The ConveyorJobID is splitted in two
informations. One information is the travel direction of the pallet seen from the turntable conveyer. And
the other one is the travel direction of the platen seen from the spur conveyer.

Some examples for how to use the Job ID:

3.1.4. iStartJobReq

A iStartJobReq can be given at any time when the pallet is ready for transfer. The priority is given by the sequential order of FC_TTSpur calls. The
first call has the highest priority.
Keep in mind that the FC_TTMaster is taking care about the release as well. I.e. it will be checked that the turntable will be empty before the next
platen enters.
3.1.5. iSpurJobIDExit
SpurJobID of a spur that must be clear before an entering Job is accepted. For example this is used when the turntable should stay clear when one
specific spur is blocked.
Allowed values:

4.2. Special Features

4.2.1. Turn Back
If a pallet leaving job is finished and no request of any FC_TTSpur is active it is
possible to let the turntable move to a predefined position. The position is
defined by the input parameter "iRecordNumberTT".
This feature can be disabled with "iRecordNumberTT"="0"

After finishing an pallet entering job the "qStartProcAtTT" turns on until

"iProcAtTT_Finished" is "true". No other job will be performed until
"iProcAtTT_Finished" is "true".
4.2.2.2. No Process

If there is no user specific process at the turntable needed, the "Always On"-Flag
should be used at the "iProcAtTT_Finished" parameter.
4.2.2.3. Turntable Positioning

A process on a turntable might need to move the turntable to a specific position.

This can be achieved by putting the needed position at the "iRecordNumberTT"
parameter. The movement will start with the "iStartTT" parameter.
An Example is shown on the right side.
In this example the turntable will always move to the 90 degree position after
entering of the pallet.Regardless of where to go afterwards.
More complex operations are possible as well.
This is all user specific.
