Gearing FB

See Add Gearing FB

A Gearing FB has one input-connector and one output connector.

The Gearing FB can modify data-values of all data-types.

Use a Gearing FB to modify data with a linear-equation.

Gearing linear function

Red-23a-a Red-23a-b Red-23a-c

Gearing Parameters

Red-15a-a Gearing Ratio (maximum = 32000; minimum = –32000). (see also Red-15-d in Gearing as 'Real' or 'Ratio' )

Red-15a-b Add after Gearing Ratio (maximum = 10000; minimum = –10000)

Red-15a-c Add before Gearing Ratio (maximum = 10000; minimum = –10000)

The default values are Red-15a-a = 1  ; Red-15a-b = 0 ; Red-15a-c = 0 and do not modify the data.

Gearing as Ratio of Pulley Teeth

Gearing as Ratio of Pulley Teeth

Red-15-d Enter the Gearing Ratio in two ways: “Real ”or “Ratio”

◉Gearing as 'Real'

◉ Gearing as 'Ratio'

If you select Gearing as “Real” :

Enter:

Red-15a-a Gearing Ratio as a ± real number - see above

If you select Gearing as “Ratio” :

Enter:

Red-15-e Input Pulley  as ± integer, and 0

Red-15-f Output Pulley as + integer, minimum =1

We calculate:

Red-15a-a Gearing Ratio = Red-15-e INPUT Pulley / Red-15-f Output Pulley

Example:

Gearing as “Ratio”:

Red-15a-a Gearing-Ratio = 1.5

Red-15a-b Add After Gearing-Ratio = 83

Red-15a-c Add Before Gearing-Ratio = 23
