By using the TwinCAT PLC library Solar Position Algorithm it is possible to calculate the exact position of the sun. In order to synchronise the angles of the sun with the TwinCAT library, the entry of date, time, latitude and longitude as well as further parameters, depending on desired accuracy, are required. The function block developed works with a maximum inaccuracy of ±0.001°.
