Counting a parameter up via Connector Class

mk92 — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 08:23:24 GMT

Hi all,

I have an asset which changes its appearance depending on the amount of supports attached to it. So my question is:

Is there a possibility to count a parameter up via connector class? So if the first support is attached change from 0 to 1, and with the second support counting from 1 to 2 and so on.

Kind regards.

Hi Marco,

That should be possible.

For example, there are connectors on the asset. C1, C2,C3,C4. Each connector mapping a specific parameter. P1,P2,P3,P4. The default vaule is 0.

So if C1 ,C2 and C3 are consumed, P1=1, P2=1 and P3=1 but C4 is not consumed, P4=0. Finally you can calculate them in iLogic. The total supports is 3.

Hope that will be working for you.

Thanks,

But all these Parameter have to be KeyParameters and are visible in the FDS in my Asset Parameters right? I cant pass hidden parameters via ConnectorClasses, also in FDS 2018?

But you are right, this could be a solution for me, not pretty, but could work.

Hi Xuesong,

This is interesting. Can you explain to me in more detail how this mapping is done? Maybe send me a .ipt or something. I would like to try this out but I'm quite lost. Thanks.

Best regards,
