Signal Matrix is used to make cross-references between the physical I/O signals, function blocks and SMV and for the GOOSE signal input engineering.
A binary input channel can be connected to one or more function block inputs. If a binary input channel is connected to several different function blocks in the Application Configuration tool, the connection appears as glue logic in Signal Matrix.
A binary output channel can only be activated from one function block output. If it is activated from more than one function block output, the glue logic has to be used.
Glue logic means inserting a logical gate (OR and AND blocks) between the binary input and the function blocks or between the function blocks and the binary output channel. This can be engineered with the Signal Matrix.
Each SMVRCV block used in Application Configuration needs to be connected to the desired SMV stream in Signal Matrix. Connections need to be one-to-one and unconnected SMVRCV blocks are not allowed.
Signal Matrix has a separate sheet for each possible combination.
