Lenze function blocks with internal time constants

Question:
What aspects have to be observed when using Lenze function blocks with internal time constants?

Response:
If Lenze function blocks with internal time constants (i. e. with a continuous time response) are used in a non time-equidistant task like, for example, the cyclic task PLC_PRG, the blocks may indicate faulty values. The bigger the ratio task cycle time to time constant of the function block the larger the error. It must be assured that the function blocks are activated in time-equidistant cycles, e. g. in an interval task.

The following Lenze function blocks are equipped with a continuous time response:

   L_PHINT    Integration (angular signal)
   L_PHINTK  Integration (angular signal)
   L_MPOT    Motor potentiometer
   L_PCTRL   Process controller
