What is a flexi module?

A flexi module:
•Functional module type.
•Function built of elements
connected together.
•Primitives input/output
terminals are connected to
the flexi module shell
terminals.
•Used as a standard
module

What is an primitive?

A primitive:
•Basic digital or analogue
functional element.
•Used to build functions in a
flexi-module
•An explanation of the primitives
can be found in the user guide.

•Digital terminals:
•Green end = 1
•Red end =0
•Analogue terminals: Value underneath terminal

INVERT

The primitive performs a

logical invert function of the
input and presents the result
on the output. A Y

Y=A

OR

The primitive
performs a logical
OR function of the
connected inputs H Y
>
and presents the
A
result on the output

Y=A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H
Kongsberg Maritime

AND

The primitive performs

a logical AND function
of the connected
inputs and presents H Y
the result on the &
output. A

Y=A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H

COMP-I

The primitive compares the

variable on the A input terminal
with the variable on the B input
DB 0
terminal and presents a compare-
status signal on the output y. B Y
CP
Y(k-1)=0 A
A-B>0 Y(k)=0
A-B<0 Y(k)=1

Y(k-1)=1
A-DB-B<0 Y(k)=1
A-DB-B>0 Y(k)=0

Compare High

The primitive compares the variable on the A input terminal with a

predefined limit value HL and presents a compare-status signal on
the output y. As long as the A input is less than the limit HL, the y
value is 0. When the A input value is larger than the limit, the output
y changes to 1 immediately. Due to the dead band feature, the A
value has to be less than the HL minus DB before the y value is set to
0.

Compare Low

The primitive compares the variable on the A input terminal with a

predefined limit value HL and presents a compare-status signal on
the output y. As long as the A input is larger than the limit LL, the y
value is 0. When the A input value is less than the limit, the output y
changes to 1 immediately. Due to the dead band feature, the A value
has to be larger than the LL plus DB before the y value is set to 0.

MONO

The primitive produces a single

pulse with a predefined length
on the output as response to a
PDXXX
trigger input signal.

The primitive SETs or RESETs

the output according to the
respective activated input.

performs a timer off-
delay function. A Y

When the input a
goes to 1, the
output y changes to

ADD

The analogue
primitive adds the
values on the input
H Y
terminals A to H and
presents the sum on
the output Y.

Y=A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H

SUB

The analogue
primitive subtracts
the value of input B
B Y
from the value of -
input A and presents
the difference on the A
output Y.

Y=A-B

Sel - Par
Dependent of logical level on the input select, one out of two
parameters PH or PL is presented on the output Y of the analogue
primitive. High input level (logical 1) selects PH, and low input level
(logical 0) selects PL.

Formula :
For Select = 0  Y = PL
Select
For Select = 1  Y = PH PHX:XX
PLX.XX
Parameters : X.XX
PH - Parameter high in the range A CL Y

PL - Parameter low in the range

 Kongsberg Maritime

Par

A parameter value is presented on the output Y of the

analogue primitive. Used for constant value on output.
