Controller different Input in the same time in a real Scenario...(SIMULATION IN 2 TANKS CONTROLLER BY PCB BOARD)

[elena1428]

Hi! I really need help....

I´m doing a simulation where I can controller the input and output with one external PCB, all is working properly (the communication) but my problem is, I can´t open where ever I want the different valves...I mean, I must wait until the process is finish...

The program is working with diferents process like this:

§Process 0:

    Programinitialization. Tanks and pipes in zero state. Control for this state with  “pump on” button.

§Process 1:

    §State:

         “ Pump on ” button istrue: Pump 1 isrunning, andTank 1 starts to be filled with water.

         “ Pump on ” button is false: nothing happen, go to the next process

§Process 2:

     This process is controlled from the “Control 1”button with is who control “Valve 1” for the discharge of water from tank 1 to tank 2.

§Process 3:

      This processiscontrolledfromthe “Control 2 ”button with is who control “Valve 2” for the discharge of water from tank 1 to tank 2 if “Control 3 ” button is close or if “Control 3 ”button is open the water go out from the loop.

§Process 4:

      This processgiveyoutheoptiontocome back totheprocess 1 ortotheprocess 2 dependingofthestate in process 3.

So my problem is I want  run different processes in the same time, without having to wait out the current process is running....

this look like this:

and with the differents states...so I was trying to use a Statechart for try to improve the simulation....

like this:

But when I was tried to implement in labview with the statechart module i can't find the way to interconexión with this new module...

Because i need two differents regions...but i can't use the connexion between them....

Some new idea, help....all is welcome!!!

Thanks in advance.

Buenos días Elena,

Si no te importa, te voy a escribir en español para que nos entendamos mejor.

Creo que tu problema es que tienes una serie de pasos y los tienes que ejecutar uno por uno en el mismo orden siempre y que te gustaría poder alterar el orden según la lógica que deseés. En ese caso deberías implementar una máquina de estados.

Dime si te he entendido mal y en ese caso dime a que te referías.

Un saludo

Además, para paralelizar operaciones lo que tienes que hacer es usar dos bucles While

Buenos días Alvaro,

Si, mejor en español 🙂

Si, me has entendido bien, exactamente es lo que me gustaria. 

Empece por mi cuenta con labview y hay muchas cosas que se me escapan... Voy a implementar la máquina de estados a ver si asi soluciono el problema.

Muchas gracias!

Un saludo!

Well, I was trying with state machine...but I can´t controller my inputs now...I don´t know what I´m doing wrong....

now, look like this:
