SHKABS.PIA
This sample ISaGRAF project provides a custom function block that can be used to limit the speed of change of a variable.
A typical situation, when such a function is required, is a PIDA function block using a water control valve in the output. While the output of PIDA can generally change very fast, even momentarily, such a control action may cause a hydraulic shock and severe damage of the pipeline. To prevent it, the speed of change of the valve position must be limited.
