2.2.3 Structure of the OMAC – mode manager<br />

The mode manager comprises a total of three units (OmacVar, OmacStUp and OmacMain), that<br />

contain the variable declarations and two programs. One program is used to initialize all of the<br />

relevant variables when the controller runs-up - the second program contains the actual mode<br />

manager and runs cyclically in the BackgroundTask.<br />

As far as the program is concerned, when implementing, a differentiation is not made between the<br />

various modes (manual, automatic, ...) and states (stopped, producing, ...). This is the reason that in<br />

the following text, only the term state is used.<br />

The change between the individual states is realized by setting a global variable.<br />

2.2.3.1 OmacVar unit<br />

The OmacVar unit includes the declaration of all of the type definitions and global variables of the<br />

mode manager.<br />

The EnumStates enum includes all of the states according to the OMAC definition.<br />

To display the actual machine states, there is on one hand, the g_eActualState variable, type<br />

EnumStates - and on the other hand, thirteen boolean variables that are precisely assigned to one<br />

state. If the machine is, for example, in the Manual state, then the g_eActualState variable has the<br />

value OM_Manual and the g_boOM_Manual variable is TRUE.<br />

Further, a diagnostics array is declared (g_asDiagnosticsArray) that logs a history of the state<br />

transitions with an associated time stamp. The DIAG_ARRAY_MAX_ELEMENT constant can be used<br />

to define the size of the diagnostics array.<br />

All of the variables that start with the "PML_" prefix belong to the operating data that are defined<br />

according to the OMAC Tag Naming Guidelines. Some of these variables are declared as retain<br />

variables - in order to ensure that values are retained even after the power supply has been powereddown.<br />

A detailed description of these operating data is provided in Chapter 2.2.5.<br />

2.2.3.2 OmacStUp unit<br />

The program in this unit is used to initialize all of the variables of the mode manager. It is assigned to<br />

the StartUp task and is executed at when the controller transitions from stop to run.<br />

In this program, the output state of the machine is pre-assigned the ESTOP state by setting the<br />

eLocalActState variables. This ensures that after being powered-up, the machine is in a safe, defined<br />

output state. Further, the elements of the diagnostics array g_asDiagnosticsArray are initialized with<br />

the values "OM_NoState" or "DT#0001-01-01-0:0:0.0".<br />

Operating data is also initialized according to OMAC, that is not declared as retain data.<br />
