Risk Reduction
Design, test, and secure applications that you develop to reduce risks of personal injury and equipment
damage.
Design, Test, and Secure to Reduce Risks
Applications created with PLUS+1® GUIDE typically control equipment such as tractors, cranes, and
harvesters.
Using heavy, powerful, and mobile off-road equipment always involves the risk of personal injury and
equipment damage, even when this equipment is operating under normal operating conditions.
Abnormal operating conditions greatly increase the risk of personal injury and equipment damage.
The PLUS+1® program has no automatic protections against these risks. The tool has no protection
against the risks that result from bugs in the tool software, errors in the tool manual, or incompatibilities
between software versions of the tool.
You must:
•
Design your application to reduce these risks.
•
Test your application to reduce these risks.
•
Secure your application against unauthorized changes in its operating parameters to reduce these
risks.
Design
Test
As you design your application, you must include the fault checking and the error handling needed to
reduce risks in normal and abnormal operating conditions.
Consider the following when developing fault checking and error handling for your PLUS+1® GUIDE
application:
•
How the machine is normally used.
•
Possible operator errors and their consequences.
•
Industry safety standards and legal requirements.
•
Input and output failures and their consequences. These failures can include:
Joystick, sensor, and other inputs suddenly going to ±100 % or to 0 %.
‒
Joystick, sensor, and other inputs suddenly going to ±100 % or to 0 %.
‒
Outputs that control machinery direction, speed, and force suddenly changing direction or going
‒
to ±100 % or to 0 %.
Decide how likely each failure is. The more likely a failure, the more you need to protect against
the consequences of the failure.
•
The sequence of events and consequences of a fault or error.
•
The sequence of events and consequences of an emergency stop.
After creating an application, you are responsible for testing the application.
Download your application to hardware and test its operation under both normal and abnormal
operating conditions. Make sure:
•
Individual inputs produce expected outputs.
•
Fault handling and error checking work as designed.
You must repeat your tests when you make configuration, calibration, or software changes to the
application.

Risk Reduction
Secure
You have the responsibility to secure your application against unauthorized changes.
Always use the PLUS+1® GUIDE program’s Toolkey feature to restrict access to your application’s
operating parameters.
•
Without Toolkey protection, there is an increased risk that unauthorized personnel could use the
PLUS+1® Service Tool program to change your application’s operating parameters.
Changes in your application’s operating parameters might cause unexpected machinery movement
that results in personal injury and equipment damage.
•
Toolkey protection reduces the risk that unauthorized personnel could use the PLUS+1® program to
change your application’s operating parameters.
Refer to How to Use the Toolkey to Restrict Service Tool Access to Application Values in the PLUS+1—How-to
chapter of the PLUS+1 GUIDE User Manual (Danfoss part 10100824).

PLUS+1® Compliant Function Block Library—Filter Function Blocks
Exp_Filter Function Block
Use the Exp_Filter function block as a first-order lag, low-pass filter that is specified by the time constant
T1.
The Exp_Filter function block provides filtering to reduce noise in an input or to slow down changes in a
signal to give a less aggressive output.
Typical uses for this function block include:
Reducing random signal noise on an analog input.
•
Slowing down the response in a digital control.
•
Note that while an increase in this function block's T1 value can reduce signal noise, it can also reduce
the response of the system.
Inputs
The inputs to the Exp_Filter function block are described.
Use only the data types specified in this table. Other data types cause compiler errors.
Item Type Range Description
ChkPt BOOL ——
T1 U16 0–65535 T1 (Time Constant) is the exponential function time constant.
Bpas BOOL ——
Input S32 -100000–100000 The signal to be filtered.
True—include the function block’s built-in Advanced Checkpoint with Namespace in the compiled
•
LHX download file.
False—exclude the function block’s built-in Advanced Checkpoint with Namespace components
•
from the compiled LHX download file.
If T1 < Loop Tm, then the function block uses the Loop Tm as its T1 value.
1000 = 1000 ms.
•
T—Turns filtering off. Output = Input.
•
F—Turns filtering on. Output is determined by normal exponential function.
Bpas (Bypass) disables the filter function and can be used to preset the output.

Identical Function Blocks Need Different Namespace Values to Successfully Compile
If you use the same function block more than once in an application, you must change each function
block’s namespace value to avoid compiler errors.
All function blocks contain Advanced Checkpoint with Namespace components that enable the PLUS+1
Service Tool to read block input and output values.
Some function blocks contain non-volatile memory components that store function block operating
parameters.

Soft_Ramp Function Block
Use the Soft_Ramp function block to provide a smooth transition from one value to another.
The Soft_Ramp and the Time_Ramp function blocks output similar ramps. The ramps differ in that the
Soft_Ramp function block adds soft acceleration and deceleration to its ramp.
A typical use for this function block is in propel applications that require smooth starting and stopping.
Note that the:
Inc Tm parameter determines the ramp rate when the output increases in magnitude away from
•
zero.
Dec Tm parameter determines the ramp rate when the output decreases in magnitude towards zero.
•
These parameter characteristics may cause a transition from one ramp rate to another when the Output
crosses zero even if the Split input is false.

Soft_Ramp Function Block
Identical Function Blocks Need Different Namespace Values to Successfully Compile
If you use the same function block more than once in an application, you must change each function
block’s namespace value to avoid compiler errors.
All function blocks contain Advanced Checkpoint with Namespace components that enable the PLUS+1
Service Tool to read block input and output values.
Some function blocks contain non-volatile memory components that store function block operating
parameters.
Both these components use memory names (“aliases”) to allocate memory. Identical memory names
cause compiler errors.
The namespace value adds a unique prefix to each component name to avoid errors. Keep each
namespace value short to save controller memory.

Time_Ramp Function Block
Use the Time_Ramp function block to provide a slower transition from one value to another.
For a given change in Input, the Output changes at a rate specified by the given range and times.
Typical uses for this function block include:
Limiting the rate of change for a propel command.
•
Filtering an input signal.
•
This function block limits linear rates. Consider using the Soft_Ramp function bock if the output
transitions provided by this function block are too aggressive.
