FB Editor

[KoBra]

I found in the latest release 20201210 FB Editor 2.0 the function to calculate a sliding setpoint with or without offset.

I tried it but there seems a bug in the one with offset:


Does somebody also know why the settings are only available as value and not object?
For installers i normally make the X and Y value programmable. For end user normally only the Offset on Y is a setting (but this is also only available as value).

This is defined in the function which defines this block. Here are all the function https://forum.logicmachine.net/showthrea...49#pid4849. You can import them to user libraries and modify. This is quite old one and not sure if this is same like in the current FB.

Nope i checked and tested this one has the bug in both. So it seems the curve with 2 points function is updated sometime ago.

with the data above the outcome for both is now -10

I will try to get updated libs but it was done buy external dev so it might take some time.

I reverse engineered it and used some excel to test the calculations and the one below works.

--- [Function] fbe_curve_2pt
--- Curve function with 2 points
--- [Comment]
--- Depending on a straight line defined by 2 points, this module supplies a y-value for an x-value.
--- The first point of the straight line is defined by x1 and y1.
--- The second point of the straight line is defined by x2 and y2.
--- If x is less than x1, then y=y1.
--- If x is greater than x2, then y=y2.
--- Only strictly monotone rising or falling functions can be realised. This means x1 < x2.

I found the problem, without the offset the X is the input and the Y the output. In the one with offset the Y is the input and the X the output...

The adapted script, where in both versions the X is input (outdoor air temperature for example) and the calculated Y is output.
