Hello everyone!
I hope to get some help to implement my solar regulator in a producer consumer loop.
In dependence of different temperature levels, a solar pump should be switch on or of. In addition I implemented a over temperatur protection. If the over temperatur level exceeds, the pumpe should switch on again at a temperatur, wich is about 10 degrees below the over temerature.
To implement every situation, I used a state maschine which is running in a loop. In addition I used a shift register as a flag for the following:
- pump is switched on or off
- overstep of the temperatur
- stop buttonpressd
I need these values in the next case to choose the right Case.
The regulator itselve is working fine.
But if I like to use it in my producer consumer loop I got trouble.
I know, the loop of the regulator need to stop by itselve, so that the Producer loop can continiue. But if I stop and start the regulator VI again, I lose all the set flags/ values in my shift register.
I thought about to use a global variable for storing the values of the pump, the stop button an the over temperatur. But would this not be a kind of dirty solution? Any better ideas?
