current
Step 5: Build the CFC program
Use the following function blocks:
Lower Setpoint: Q = ´Val < Limit´

This function block outputs a signal when the
measured value “Val“ drops below the specified limit
value “Limit”. It can only be applied in the
“MW_BEARB” priority class for measured values.

SFS (Switchgear interlocking)
Verifying the switchgear interlocking
Automatic start like PLC plus when activating a control command
MW (Measured value processing)

Step 5: Shift chart in the proper priority class
Open the Run-time Editor

To change the priority class: Grab your “good name” folder (by left mouse
key) “ and drag & drop it into the desired priority-class folder p menu (Shift
+ F11).
If you want to prepare
the NEXT CFC chart
inserted to run under
another priority class
then first select the
desired priority class
then click on “edit”
then “predecessor for
insert position” and
then “ok”

Step 6: Let the system verify the run sequence
Obviously, you don’t have to change the run

sequence as the TIMER is the only block
running in the chart.
Changes must, however, be made if several function blocks are

placed – and some of them are maybe in the wrong order…
04 CFC-Exercises
DIGSI 4 Basic

Step 6: Let the system verify the run sequence
In this case, the run sequence must be changed

as the TIMER has the number 2 in the chart, i.e.
it will be executed after the OR block.
In this case, click on

“Options” and then on
“optimize run sequence”.

during the first 10 seconds after pressing the F1 key
or
if all phase currents drop below 5% of the rated nominal
current.

Exercise 6: Power Direction

A new dynamic symbol (arrow) on the default display of the device is to
indicate the power direction.

Allocate the required measured value “P=“ (power) to the destination CFC.
Create an internal double-point indication required

to indicate the power direction on the default
display.
04 CFC-Exercises
DIGSI 4 Basic

Solution - CFC
Evaluate the power direction by using the blocks “UPPER_SETPOINT“ and

“LOWER_SETPOINT“.
Use “BUILD_DI“ to create the previously defined double-point indication “P-
direction“.

Create 3 static symbols to visualise

the states shown below.
Create a dynamic symbol of the

type “Symbol” to be filled with the 3
static symbols.
Place the dynamic symbol on the

default display and connect it to the
new double-point indication.

Solution - CFC
Use the following block to evaluate the feedback information (double-point indication)
of a command:
DI to BOOL: Y = ´VAL = IS_ON & IS_OFF´
This block checks a double-point indication for the

states ON, OFF, “00“ or “11“ and produces a signal
as the result.

disconnector is closed. the circuit breaker:
“Disconnector=CLOSE“ AND
“Ground switch=OPEN“
This module issues a HIGH

signal at the output y if the
ground switch is open.

Exercise 9: Controlling via the function keys

Close
The circuit breaker (2-pole CLOSE, 1-pole OPEN) is to be
controlled via the function keys: F1=Close, F2=Trip. Trip
Use the following blocks to create a command and a double-
point indication:
BOOL_TO_CO The switch command is specified via the parameters

ORIGIN, PROP, VAL and TIME and is tripped via a signal
at the Trig input.
ORIGIN origin of the cause
PROP general command properties
TIME output time for the command
VAL switching direction (ON or OFF)
BUILD_DI This module transforms two input signals into one

double-point indication. The double-point indication
consists of the 2 bits VAL_OFF and VAL_ON.
TYP_DP_I defines the type of the double-point
indication: with distinction of “00“ and “11“ or without.
