Abstract
To increase parameterization of control devices which include several inputs and several outputs, all combinations of inputs do not have to be evaluated for determining an output value. The set point value of input states are set to an independent state value such that only those real values and set point values have to be compared in a comparative step. The set point value does not match the independent state value, allowing the runtime for determining the output state values to be reduced.
Claims21
A control device, comprising:
- a plurality of inputs to respectively receive an input real value;
- a plurality of outputs to respectively output a digital output value;
- a memory to store setpoint values relating to the inputs and outputs;
- and
- an allocator to allocate a digital output value to one of the digital outputs as a function of a comparison of at least one of the input real values with a corresponding setpoint value,
- the setpoint values respectively including one of the state values 1, 0 and independence state value, applicable to at least one of the setpoint values in the memory, and
- the allocation of a digital output value to one of the digital outputs being capable of being carried out by the allocator independently of the at least one input real value whose allocated setpoint value includes the independence state value.

A method for controlling equipment, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of input real values;
- providing setpoint values relating to inputs and outputs;
- establishing a digital output value as a function of a comparison of at least one of the input real values with a corresponding one of the setpoint values;
- and
- outputting the digital output value,

A control device, comprising:
- input means for respectively receiving an input real value;
- output means for respectively outputting a digital output value;
- memory means for storing setpoint values relating to the inputs and outputs;
- and
- allocation means for allocating a digital output value to one of the digital outputs as a function of a comparison of at least one of the input real values with a corresponding setpoint value, the setpoint values respectively including one of the state values 1, 0 and independence state value, applicable to at least one of the setpoint values in the memory means, and the allocation of a digital output value to one of the digital outputs being capable of being carried out by the allocation means independently of the at least one input real value whose allocated setpoint value includes the independence state value.
