Function Code 1 Function Generator

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
S1 (1) N

F(X)

This function approximates a nonlinear output to input relationship. The input range is divided into five sections and a linear input to output relationship is set up for each of the five sections. This function then computes an output that is related to the input according to the five linear relationships.

EXPLANATION
To set up this function, first determine what the output should be for a given range of input and draw a graph to show this relationship. Divide the graphed relationship into five sections, preferably into sections where straight lines can closely approximate the graph as shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. Graph of Input Versus Output The coordinates of the end points of the sections are used as entries for S2 through S13. The even-numbered specifications are the X-axis coordinates and the odd-numbered are the Y-axis coordinates. Consequently, when the X-axis input value is at S2, the output will be the value of S3 as shown in the graph. This divides the graph into five linear (straightline) sections, with each section having its own particular slope as shown in Figure 1-2.

Function Code 1

If the input value is between two X-axis points, the output will be determined by the equation:
( Yn Yn 1 ) Block Output = ( Y n 1 ) + ------------------------- ( X X n 1 ) ( Xn Xn 1 )

where:

X Xn Xn-1 Yn Yn-1
( Yn Yn 1 ) ------------------------( Xn Xn 1 )

= Present input value. = X-axis specification point just to the right of the present input value. = X-axis specification point just to the left of the present input value. = Y-axis coordinate that corresponds to Xn. = Y-axis coordinate that corresponds to Xn-1. = Slope of the particular graph segment between (Xn,Yn) and (Xn-1,Yn-1). This is the unit output change per unit input change. = Amount that the input is above the next lower specification point.

X Xn-1

For example, suppose the graph shown in Figure 1-1 is a graph of desired output values for input values. These values may represent any engineering units. First, the graph is divided into five sections as shown in Figure 1-2. The coordinates of the end points of these segments are then entered into the module. Suppose the input <S1> to the function block represented by Figure 1-2 is six units. This corresponds to point S4. Therefore, the output will be two units (S5). If the input is ten units (which corresponds to S6), the output will be five units and so on. If the input is between six units and ten units, for example seven units, the output is determined according to the function equation. The values for the equation become:

Xinput Xn Xn-1 Yn Yn-1

=7 = S6 = 10 = S4 = 6 = S7 = 5 = S5 = 2

The equation becomes:

( S7 S5 ) ------Output = S5 + ------------- - ( 7 S4 ) ( S6 S4 ) 52 = 2 + ------------ ( 7 6 ) 10 6 = 2.75

High and Low Limits

If the input <S1> goes higher than the S12 value, the output will remain at the S13 value for the high limit. If the input goes below the S2 value, the input will remain at the S3 value for the low limit.

APPLICATIONS
Five possible applications of function generators are illustrated in Figures 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6 and 1-7. Figures 1-6 and 1-7 illustrate the use of multiple function generators to achieve good resolution when representing a complex function.
