A. INTRODUCTION TO PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

Training Center A-1


This chapter deals with the introduction to process control system, systemconcepts of distributed control system and the development history of processcontrol system.

A.1. PROCESS CONTROL BY CONTROLLERS

A temperature control loop using a controller is shown in the figure below. Theoperator sets the temperature “setpoint (SV)”, and the controller automaticallyadjusts the “manipulated variable (MV)” i.e. output (opening of valve whichcontrols steam flow) so as to minimize the deviation between measured(temperature) “process variable (PV)” and target value “setpoint”. The process ofadjusting the manipulated variable to minimize the deviation between processvariable and setpoint is called “Feedback control”.

The indicating (PID) controller displays the measured process variable(temperature of the liquid of the tank), and using a PID (P-Proportional, I-Integraland D-Derivative) control algorithm, computes the manipulated variable output(steam flow) that will minimize the deviation between process variable andsetpoint temperatures; i.e. it controls the tank temperature.

A.2. PROCESS CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The method to directly control process is roughly divided into two categories: theloop control that inputs analog measured values (including feedback control andfeed forward control) and the sequential control that inputs operating sequencesand process status signals.

♦ Feedback ControlControl that acts to correct the process variable (e.g. Temperature in atank) to agree with the target value (setpoint) by comparing both.

♦ Feed forward ControlControl which takes a corrective action by measuring the disturbances(e.g. Ambient temperature) and directly driving the valve before it affectsthe process.

♦ Sequential ControlControl that successively advances each control step in accordance withthe pre-determined sequence.




Training Center A-3

A.3. PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS

To perform temperature control as discussed before, a control system ( a deviceto perform the control computation) is required. There are many control systems

available, which are generally classified into analog, and digital control system.

Analog Control SystemControl device that makes a control computation with analog signals (e.g.Voltage) using operational amplifiers etc. I this case sequence control is notavailable.

Digital Control SystemControl device that makes control computation with digital values using aprocessor (processing unit). Not only the feedback and feed forward controls(called DDC-Direct digital controls collectively) but also sequential control is

available.

DDC – Direct Digital ControlGenerally referred to control in which the controller functions are implementedwith digital equipment. Inputs and outputs of the controller may be analogsignals. Also refers to a supervisory control scheme when a higher-levelcomputer drives the output of a digital controller directly.

A.4. DEVELOPMENT HISTROY OF CONTROL SYSTEM

Electronic computers were first introduced into the process control filed in 1960’s.Digital control technology developed widely in the following years.

The purpose of introducing computers was mainly (1) data logging and (2) setpoint control (SPC) at first.

As the introduction of computers into process control advanced, controllerfunctions were superseded by computers, and DDC in which computers directlycontrolled processes began to be employed.

In the early stages, the control system was centralized where a central computerexecuted not only monitoring and operation but also all process controls. Themost important reason was cost effectiveness.

The advent of microprocessors greatly changed the above situation. The studytheme moved to how diversification could be implemented (risk distribution,function distribution, etc) and how exclusiveness and versatility could be united.

The distributed control system (DCS) now has inputs points distributed for 1 loop,8 loops, 16 loops and upto 80 loops to be able to apply approximately when seenfrom processes.

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

This chapter describes various system components of CS3000 system.

B.1. DCS MINIMUM SYSTEM COMPONENTS

For the Distributed Control system to function two major components arenecessary.

a. The Engineering / Operator Station – From which the operator controls theplant and the same component can also be used to do configurationchanges. The operator station or the Man Machine Interface (MMI) iscalled the Human Interface Station (HIS) in CS3000 R3 system while thecomponent used for configuration is called the Engineering station (ENG).Both these components can reside in one hardware.

b. The Field Control Station – which is the interface between the Fieldinstruments and the control room. This is the component where all thecontrol functions are executed and hence is a very important and criticalcomponent in the overall system.

c. The above two components are connected via a real time control networkwhich communicates all the parameters to and from the Field ControlStation to the Human Interface station. This network is called the V-Net /VL-Net in CS3000 R3 system.

The above three are the minimum required components for the DistributedControl System to function. The number of the HIS and the FCS for a particularplant is broadly decided on the following basis.

The number of Field Control Station to control a process plant is decided basedon the Input/Output count, Input/Output segregation based on the differentsections of the plant, Field Control station CPU load and the Field Control Stationhardware capabilities.

The number of Human Interface Stations is decided based on the number ofoperators required to control the process plant considering number of screensrequired during startup and shutdown situation. The operation grouping / securityto control the various sections of the plant is also a criteria in deciding thenumber of Human Interface Stations.

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW


B.4.1 FCS HARDWARE

The following is the brief description of hardware components of all types of FCS.Some of the hardware components are specific to that type of FCS.

♦ Field Control Unit (FCU)The field Control station (FCS) basically consists of two parts – The FieldControl Unit (FCU) and the Node. The FCU consists of the Station controlcards.

♦ Control Bus Coupler UnitThe Coupler is where the V-Net or the VL-Net is installed into the FCSStation. It has provision for two-bus connection. The coupler unit couplesthe processor card installed in the Field Control Unit (FCU) to the V-Net orthe VL-Net Cable by performing signal isolation and the signal levelconversion.

♦ Power Supply Unit (PSU)For Compact type of FCS (PFCD), this unit receives power directly fromthe main source while for the KFCS and LFCS this unit receives powerfrom the distribution board. This unit converts the main AC voltage into anisolated DC voltage for distribution to cards and units mounted in the FiledControl Unit (FCU)

♦ Back Up BatteriesThese are rechargeable battery units installed in the PSU, backs up thememory in the processor card during the main power failure. It can hold

the memory for about 72 hours. If the power failure is more than thisspecified time, the FCS has to be loaded off-line, for it to functionnormally.

♦ Remote Input/Output (RIO) Interface Card and RIO Bus.The RIO Interface card is used in the LFCS. The interface card performscommunication via the RIO coupler unit between multiple nodesconnected on the RIO bus.

♦ Process Input Output Units(PIO) or Input/Output Units (IOU)These are Modules that perform the conversion processing and

transmission of filed process signals to the CPU card.♦ Node Interface Unit (NIU)

This component send the analog and the contact i/o signals from the fieldto the Field control Unit (FCU) for processing and it offers the function tosupply power to the Input/Output Units (IOU)



B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW


♦ Node

Node consists of Node Interface Unit (NIU) and Input/Output Units (IOU)incase of LFCS (for RIO) while the Node consists of Input/Output Units incase of KFCS (For FIO).

♦ ESB Bus Coupler UnitThe ESB bus coupler unit couples the ESB bus interface card installed inthe FCU to the ESB bus by modulating and demodulating the signals. Thisis applicable for Field Control station with FIO (KFCS)

♦ Processor CardThe Processor Card performs calculations and control computation. Incase of redundant CPU models of the LFCS and KFCS, there are twoprocessor cards. One of the cards is in control status and the other is inthe standby status.

Each of these two processor unit have two processors or the CPU, whichperform the same control computation. A collator compares thecomputation results during each computation cycle. If the computationresults from the two CPUs match, the collator determines that thecomputation is normal and sends data to locations such as the mainmemory and bus interface unit. Because the main memory as an ECC,transient bit inversion errors occurring in the main memory can berectified.

D.2. NON-TARGET SYSTEMIn case of non-target system, the system generation is done on a non-targetENG without any of the CS3000 system components. Once all the generation is

completed, the same is tested using the virtual test function. The project is thencopied into a secondary media and loaded on to the target ENG and then off-linedownloaded to all the components after the complete network is connected. Thisfunction allows the engineering work to start even before the actual CS3000hardware components are procured.

E. PROJECT CREATION

Training Center E-1

E. PROJECT CREATION

This chapter explains the creation of a new project, different types of projects andproject attributes.

E.1. TYPES OF PROJECTA project is a folder that contains the project database i.e. all the systemcomponent folders and the files. All the builder files are modified and createdunder this project folder. There are three types of projects: the default project, thecurrent project and the user defined project.

E.1.1 DEFAULT PROJECTThe default project is automatically created when the system view is started forthe first time. Once all the system generation is carried out using the defaultproject and the FCS is off-line loaded, this default project is converted to acurrent project automatically. If a project is defined as a default project, on-linefunctions cannot be performed unless it is converted into a current project. With adefault project, virtual test function can be performed.

E.1.2 CURRENT PROJECTWhen a FCS off-line loaded using a default project, the default project isautomatically converted into a current project. This allows on-line functions to beperformed. Both default and current project cannot co-exist. The image of thecurrent project components is same as the actual components installed in thenetwork. Hence only one current project can exist. A target test function can beperformed if a project is a current one.

E.1.3 USER-DEFINED PROJECTA project copied from a default or a current project is referred as a user-definedproject. There could be as many user-defined project assigned in a system view.On-line functions cannot be performed from a user-defined project. A virtual testfunction can be performed from this type of project.

F. DEFINING FCS CONFIGURATION

Training Center F-1


This chapter explains the detailed setting of the following items in the FCS folder.♦ FCS Properties♦ FCS Station definition (FCS Constants) builder.

F.1. FCS PROPERTIES

♦ FCS Station TypeThere are five categories for FCS stations: SFCS, LFCS, APCS, KFCSand RFCS2. The required type of FCS is selected.

♦ Power Supply Unit in Dual-Redundant Configuration Specify if the dual configuration is required for power supply unit. This isset as per the FCS hardware.

♦ Define Database TypeThe database type for the FCS is decided according to the control systemconfigured for the FCS. The different type of database handles differentnumbers of function blocks. Once a database type is defined, thedatabase type cannot be changed. The number and types of functionblocks vary based on the database selected. This is selected based on theproject requirement.

♦ Station Address Station addresses are used to identify the stations on the V net. Thestation address is composed of a domain number and a station number.Set a domain number for a new FCS to be created. Set a domain numberin the range of 1 to 16. The domain number cannot be changed once it isset. Station numbers are used to identify the devices in the same domainof the system. With FCSs, the station number is generally set from 1 inascending order. The station number may be set for each domain in therange of 1 to 64. The station number cannot be changed once it is set.

♦ Component NumbersComponent numbers are used for devices that are configured in theproject. For example, assigning a component number to a FCS cabinetwill be convenient for wiring the cables by labeling the connection origin orconnection destination component numbers. Component number settingscan be omitted.

♦ Station CommentsIf more information about each station is required, the station commentmay be input for each station. The station comment can be omitted.




Training Center F-2

The station comment is displayed on the FCS property tab.

♦ Alias of StationAn alias can be used as an alternative of station name. After settingaliases, the stations displayed on the HIS will be indicated by their aliases.

An alias of a station can be defined with up to 8 alphanumeric characters.♦ Station Status Display

A window can be designated to display the station status on HIS insteadof using the HIS station status display panel. The name of this window canbe designated using up to 16 alphanumeric characters.

♦ Upper Equipment NameThe name of the higher-level process equipment group in plant hierarchycan be designated using up to 16 alphanumeric characters.

♦ High-Speed Scan PeriodHigh-speed Scan period may be applied when the fast response isrequired for the process control. 200 ms or 500 ms may be specified asthe High-speed Scan period. 50 ms or 100 ms may be specified withkeystrokes.

♦ Medium-Speed Scan Period - LFCSMedium-speed scan period may be applied when the relatively fasterresponse is required for the process control. Either 200 ms or 500 ms maybe specified as the medium-speed scan period.

♦ Pulse WidthWhen the MC-2 or MC-3 blocks output signal conversion type is either [2-position Pulsive Output] or [3-position Pulsive Output], the time span of thecontact output signal’s ON (pulse width) may be set. The range for settingthe pulse width is from 1 to 100 seconds. The default setting is 1 second.

♦ Serial Start IntervalThe serial start function puts the motor control blocks (MC-2, MC-3) of thesame control station into groups and starts multiple motor control blocks(MC-2, MC-3) in the same group sequentially at a specified interval whenstart requests are issued to these blocks simultaneously. Serial start is

executed only when the manipulated output value (MV) is changed to agreater value. The serial start interval may be set between 0 and 9999seconds. The default setting is 0 second.

♦ MLD-SW Block AUT/CASManual Loader Block with Auto/Man SW (MLD-SW) is a function block toswitch the output between the signal from the connected function blocksuch as a regulatory control block and the manual output signal of itself.




Training Center F-3

The mode of the block other than MAN is AUT or CAS is selected fromthis setting. The default setting is [AUT].

♦ Action Type of SEBOL “drive” StatementThere are 3 action types of SEBOL “drive” statement that can be

specified. In accordance with the block mode of the function block, whichis running SEBOL and the action type specified here, the permission tooutput the operation commands to function blocks may be checked.

♦ Setting OptionsWhen using option programs, the programs need to be registered on theFCS properties setting box. After installing the option programs, theprograms may be listed on the properties setting box for registration.

♦ Blocks with User-Defined Data ItemsThe user-defined blocks should not be specified in the area that may

duplicate with others in whole FCS. When using the blocks with user-defined data items (SFC block, unit instrument), a specific area for theuser-defined blocks needs to be specified. [Number of Block Type]displays the allowed number of block types for the current type of FCSdatabase. [Block-type start number] may be set with reference of the[Number of Block Type]. For example, if the allowed number of blocktypes is 20 for both FCS0101 and FCS0102, and the [Block-type startnumber] for FCS0101 is set to 0, the areas from 0 to 19 is reserved forFCS0101. Thus the [Block-type start number] for FCS0102 may be set to20 or greater.

♦ Action when Downloading to IOMWhen downloading to an I/O module, the behavior of function blocksconnected to the module may be specified as IOP (input open) or not.

♦ SS-DUAL PV Update during Deviation AlarmWhen SS-DUAL block signal selector switch is at the position 3, bothinput1 and input2 will be monitored. If one of them is not normal, theswitch will select the normal side input. If a deviation alarm occurs, toupdate PV or to hold the current PV can be set by checking this option.When checking the option box for [SS-DUAL PV Update During Deviation

Alarm], if a deviation alarm occurs when the switch position is 3, the datastatus of PV will become BAD but the PV itself will continue to update varywith the selected input signal. The default setting does not check thisoption, so that when a deviation alarm occurs, the SS-DUAL will hold itscurrent PV. This setting covers all SS-DUAL blocks for the whole FCS.

♦ Alarm Notify Action when All AOF Released




Training Center F-4

When alarm inhibition (AOF) of all function blocks are released, if theexisting alarm gives an output or not can be specified by checking thisoption box. When checking [Alarm Notify Action When All AOF Released]option box, all the existing alarms will output when their inhibitions (AOF)are released all together. By default setting, this option box is not checked,

so that the existing alarms will not output when AOF released. This settingcovers the whole FCS; it can only be changed via offline maintenance.

♦ Specify Reference Station for Tag ListEnable to Designate Station for Referencing Tag List. The tag list of adesignated station can be referenced when checking this option box.When this option is not checked, the stations start from smallest domainnumber and the smallest station number will be listed in ascending orderand set as the default stations for referencing tag list.

♦ Annunciator Message Head Number

The annunciator message head number can be designated. When anannunciator is initiated, the data assigned for the annunciator can bereferenced for the printing message. The annunciators from thedesignated annunciator head number will correspond one by one to theprinting messages from the designated printing message head number.

♦ Printing Message Head NumberThe printing message head number corresponds to the annunciatormessage head number can be designated. When the setting forannunciator message head number or for printing message head numberis not correct, an error will be displayed in the dialog box and the setting

will become invalid.♦ State Transition Matrix

When the FCS database is a type of database for unit configuration, statetransition matrix can be defined. Maximum specification number indicatesthe total number of state transition matrixes. This is only an indication andcannot be edited. A state transition matrix to be applied in this FCS canbe selected from the state transition matrix list of this project.

♦ Making IO Bus Dual-Redundant: KFCSSpecify whether or not the ESB bus is made dual-redundant in an FCS in

which only one CPU card is used. When this checkbox is checked tomake the ESB bus dual-redundant. Also the interface card type isspecified.

♦ Control Bus TCP/IP SettingsNormally there is no need to change the TCP/IP protocol setting for thecontrol bus. The IP addresses on the control bus are used to logically




Training Center F-5

identify the HIS for communication among HISs on the control bus. Innormal situation, the automatically determined setting should be used.

172. 16. dd. ss172: System fixed16: Identifier showing that the bus type is control bus (fixed)

dd: Domain numberss: Station number

♦ Control Bus Subnet MaskThe control bus subnet mask is set to “255.255.0.0” as the default setting.In normal situations, this default setting should be used.

F.2. FCS STATION DEFINITION

The following explains the setting details of FCS station definition.

F.2.1 DEFINITION ITEM

♦ Start conditionThe start condition determines which method to be used, initial cold startor restart, to initiate the FCU, upon turning on the power to FCU, whichwas in the power shutoff status. Select one from “MAN (Initial ColdStart),” “TIME (Restart in case of momentary power failure)” or “AUTO(Restart).” The default is “MAN (Initial Cold Start).”

Start Condition Start Operation

MAN (Initial coldstart)

-

Prolonged power failure (Momentarypower failure tolerant time-FCSpower failure time)

Initial cold start

TIME (Restart atthe time ofmomentary powerfailure) Momentary power failure

(Momentary power failure toleranttime>FCS power failure time)

AUTO (Restart) -

Restart

Table: FCS Start condition

Initial Cold startInitial cold start is to reset all FCS’s internal states and initiates the controloperations from initial status.




Training Center F-6

Auto (Restart)FCS Restart is a start operation that attempts to maintain the status beforethe operation stop status as long as possible in order to restart theoperation. The start operation is executed after restarting the suspended

function block processing where it was suspended and completing it.TimeWhen “TIME” is selected as the start condition, “Momentary Power FailureTolerant Time” should be specified. “Momentary Power Failure TolerantTime” is a definition item used to determine the type of start operationbased on the power failure time. The length of power failure time iscategorized into either “Prolonged power failure” or “Momentary powerfailure” by comparing the power failure time with the momentary powerfailure tolerant time. Tolerant Time: Set 0.0 to 4.0 (sec). The default is 2.0sec.

♦ Digital FilterThe digital filter is a function in which the input signal is processed by thefirst-order lag filter in order to reduce input signal noise.

The following is the computational expression for the digital filter:Yn=(1-α ) • X +α • Yn-1

α : Filter coefficientX: Input value

Yn: Current filtering dataYn-1: Previous filtering data

There are three kinds of digital filter coefficients.Digital Filter Coefficient 1: 0 to 1.00 (0.01 unit) – Default: 0.5Digital Filter Coefficient 2: 0 to 1.00 (0.01 unit) – Default: 0.75Digital Filter Coefficient 3: 0 to 1.00 (0.001 unit) – Default: 0.875

F.3. SCAN TRANSMISSION DEFINITION ITEMTo transfer/receive the values of global switches between stations, define the

following scan transmission definitions on the FCS Constants Builder.

♦ Self station buffer sizeDefine the communication buffer size to transfer the values of globalswitches assigned to the present station to other stations.

• Present station buffer size:Define 32 or 1024 (bytes) to transfer the values, or 0 not to transferthem. The default is 0.




Training Center F-7

♦ Station definition type

Define whether to receive the values of global switches under the controlof other stations if transferred.

• Station definition type:

Choose “0: Not communicate,” or “1: Individual StationCommunication.” The default is 0. When you choose “IndividualStation Communication,” define the communication buffer size toreceive data.

• Individual Station Definition (stations 1 to 64):Define 32 (bytes) (same value as the buffer size of the presentstation defined at the sending station) to receive data, or 0 not toreceive data.

F.3.1 DETAILED SETTING ITEMS

♦ Wind up TimeWindup operation is a preparatory processing for organizing time-seriesdata that are required for control operations. The function block’s inputprocessing, control processing, calculation processing and alarmprocessing executed during windup operation are executed in the samemanner as in normal operation. All output signal processing, except for theone that outputs control output signals to the process output terminal, areexecuted in the same manner as in normal operation. Sequence tableblocks and logic chart blocks don’t operate while windup operation isrunning.

The windup operation time can be set on the FCS Constant Builder.♦ Wind Up Time: Set 0 to 100 (sec.).The default is 60 sec.

♦ SEBOL / User C RatioThe setting of the processing executed in the idle time in FCS’s CPU isdefined in “SEBOL/User C time ratio” on the FCS Constants Builder. Thistime ratio is set as “100 %” as default, means the total idle time of FCS’sCPU is used by SEBOL.

♦ Interval for repeat warning alarms

The repeated warning alarm is a function that retransmits a process alarmmessage after a specified time has elapsed during the period between thealarm occurrence and recovery from the alarm, regardless of whether thealarm is acknowledged. The purpose of the repeated warning alarm is tonotify the operator that a critical alarming state is continuing. The settingvalue is between 0 to 3600 seconds. When 0 is set, repeated warningalarm function is disabled. Default is 600 seconds




Training Center F-8

♦ Alarm mask for initial cold startThe repeated warning alarm has a function in which at initial cold start(include recovery from a long period of power failure) of the FCS, only thehigh-priority alarms are picked up from all the alarms and issued to theoperation and monitoring consoles. When the initial cold start for the FCS

is executed, as a rule, only the alarms that were newly activated after startare transmitted to the operation and monitoring console by the alarm maskfunction. However, for the alarms that are set as repeated warning, ifalarm is in process, the process alarm message is transmitted eventhough it was not newly activated. However, if it is set as “alarm maskdisabled” in the FCS Constants Builder, every alarm that is in progress willbe classified as newly activated, and the process alarm messages will beissued at initial cold start.

♦ Inter-station data link communication periodThe inter-station communication period is a time required to complete all

inter-station data link processing within a FCS. It is specified in the FCSConstants Builder as a FCS-specific constant. The default is one second.During inter-station data link processing, inter-station data link processingat all points is completed within the time in seconds corresponding to the“inter-station communication period.” The number of inter-stationcommunications points executed in one second is shown below. Pointsobtained by rounding up the result of the following equation to the nearestmultiple of 8.

(Effective inter-station data link points) = (round up by every 8 points)(Inter-station communication period)

♦ Retransmission skip when Inter-station data link errorWhen a communication error is detected during inter-station data linkprocessing, inter-station communication transmission skips for a period oftime then retry the transmission in the interval of this skip period. This re-transmission skip period is expressed as follows:

Re-transmission skip period = (Inter-station communication period) *(re-transmission skip times)

The default is 60. If the inter-station communication period extends, the re-

transmission skip period extends accordingly.

F.4. EQUIPMENT

♦ Equipment nameThe equipment name is assigned for each equipment object registered inthe plant hierarchy. The name is specified using up to 16 alphanumeric




Training Center F-9

characters. Make sure no equipment name conflicts with another withinthe same project. However, when registering the custom unit equipment,specify an identical equipment name for both the default and custom unitequipment.

♦ Upper Equipment nameThe upper equipment name refers to the name of the equipment objectlocated in the next upper layer of an equipment object in a plant hierarchy.Specifying an upper equipment name via the Plant Hierarchy Builderdetermines the location of an equipment object in the plant hierarchy. Onlycustom equipment names can be specified as the upper equipment name.

♦ Equipment commentA comment may be attached to an equipment object as a note whengenerating a system. The comment can be entered using 12 double-bytecharacters or 24 single-byte characters. This comment is not displayed in

the operation and monitoring window. For a default equipment, thecomment for corresponding equipment is attached as the equipmentcomment. For example, the station comment is attached as the stationequipment comment, and the control drawing comment is attached as thecontrol drawing equipment comment. For custom equipment, the user canfreely define a desired comment.

♦ Fallback specification Whether or not the operation of the fallback function is performed is set inthe I/O module properties. By default, this check box is checked. If themodules are in dual-redundant configuration, [Fallback] cannot beunchecked.

• If “Set Fallback” has been set, either “Maintain Current Value” or“Output” can be specified for each terminal with IOM Builder.

• If “Not performed” has been set, the current value is retained whenan abnormality occurs in the processor unit or in the interface withthe processor unit. However, even if the processor unit or theinterface with the processor unit recovers to the normal state, theoccurrence of that error will not be notified.





♦ OOP Clear

The OOP clear function automatically sets the output to the tight-shutvalue when the output open (OOP) state has continued for more than the

specified time (fixed at 4 seconds). Whether or not the OOP clear functionis available is set on the I/O module properties. By default, this check boxis not checked.

G.2. IOM BUILDER

IOM builder definition for AAI835 IOM is discussed in detail below.

♦ TerminalA terminal of a process I/O or a Fieldbus I/O can be numbered inaccordance with its physical position and the I/O module location. Theformat of a terminal number is as follows.%Znnusmm%Z: Identifier of process I/O (Fixed)nn: Node Number (01 - 10)u : Unit Number (1 - 8)s : For a Fieldbus communication module, s stands for segment number (1-4). When using modules compatible to HART communication, formeasured analog data s=1, while for the data via HART communications=2. For other I/O modules s is fixed as 1.mm: Terminal Number (01 - 64)

♦ ConversionNo conversion is applicable for this type of card.





♦ Service Comment

The service comment is set with IOM Builder. Nothing is set by default. Astring of up to 40 alphanumeric characters or 20 double-byte characterscan be entered. The setting of the service comment may be omitted.

♦ High/Low range and UnitThe lower and upper limit values of the measurement range of theterminal is set with IOM Builder. The values that can be selected as thelower and upper limits of the range vary depending on the I/O moduletype, signal conversion type, and terminal position. For AAI835 type thelow and high limits are fixed at 4 and 20 mA respectively.

♦ Set detailsThe details setting of the I/O module are carried out in IOM Builder. Theitems that can be selected vary depending on the I/O module type. For

AAI835, the output points can have either direct or reverse setting. If directis set, when the output reads 0% the current output to the valve would be4mA and 100% implies 20mA. If reverse is set, when the output reads 0%the current output to the valve is 20mA and 100% implies 4mA.

♦ P&ID tag nameNothing is set by default. A string of up to 16 alphanumeric characters or 8double-byte characters can be entered. The setting of the P&ID tag namemay be omitted.

♦ Label

The user-defined label can be set for terminals. Nothing is set by default.This can be used in the control drawings instead of system definedterminal names, which would difficult to remember. Up to 16 bytealphanumeric characters can be entered. The setting of the user-definedlabel may be omitted and in such case the terminal name should be usedin the control drawing.

The following shows the specification format of the user-defined label:%%Mnnnn

I. REGULATORY CONTROL FUNCTION BLOCKS

Training Center I-1


The regulatory control blocks are the function blocks that perform controlcomputation processing mainly on the analog input as input signals. Thecalculated results are used for process monitor and process control. Theregulatory control blocks support the following types of processing: inputprocessing, control computation processing, output processing and alarmprocessing.

Figure: Function block diagram of a regulatory control function block.

I.1. FUNCTIONS OF THE REGULATORY CONTROL BLOCKS

The regulatory control blocks have the following four processing functions:

♦ Input ProcessingReceives a signal from the input terminal and outputs a process variable(PV).




Training Center I-2

♦ Control Computation ProcessingPerforms control computation processing by reading the process variable(PV) and outputs a manipulated output value (MV).

♦ Output ProcessingReads the manipulated output value (MV) and outputs the result of controlcomputation processing to the output terminal as an output signal.

♦ Alarm ProcessingDetects an abnormality in the process variable (PV) or manipulated outputvalue (MV) and notifies the operation and monitoring functions. Controlcomputation processing can be performed independently via data settingor data reference between the function blocks, without involving inputprocessing or output processing.

I.2. TYPES OF THE REGULATORY CONTROL BLOCKS

The regulatory control blocks vary by the types of data handled and controlcomputation processing functions provided. The blocks are classified into theseblocks below.

♦ Input Indicator Blocks♦ Controller Blocks♦ Manual Loader Blocks♦ Signal Setter Blocks♦ Signal Limiter Blocks♦ Signal Selector Blocks♦ Signal Distributor Blocks♦ Pulse Count Input Block♦ Alarm Block♦ YS Blocks

I.3. FUNCTION BLOCK DETAIL SPECIFICATION OF PID BLOCK

♦ Tag namesThe control station function blocks and control elements are assigned withtag names for identification. HIS uses the tag names to identify operationand monitoring targets such as calling up a function block. The tag namesare also used in sequence tables and arithmetic expressions to representthe corresponding function blocks. One tag name only represents onefunction block. Do not define duplicate tag names in one project.




Training Center I-3

Highlight the function block and clickA detailed specification dialog of that block is displayed. The detailspecification of every function block varies depending on the parametersto be set. The following section explains the PID controller function blockdetail specification.

Figure: Function block detail builder for PID block.

I.3.1 BASIC

♦ Tag CommentAn explanatory description for each function block can be defined with upto 24 single-byte characters or 12 double-byte characters. The defined tagcomment is displayed in the window along with the tag name in two linesof 12 characters each.

♦ Security LevelsThe security level exerted by operation mark assigned to a function blockdetermines the restriction on operating the function block. The greater thesecurity level number is, the severer restriction applies. Several operationsand monitoring authority tables classified by data items, eachcorresponding to a different function security level is provided. As the




Training Center I-4

security level changes, the operation and monitoring authority changesover each data item.

Security level may be set from level 1 to level 8. The security leveldefinition of function blocks may be carried out on the Function Block

Detail Builder. Level 4 is the default security level set for the functionblocks.

♦ Scan Period Scan period determines a period for the periodic execution of the functionblock. There are three types of scan periods: basic scan, medium-speedscan and high-speed scan. The scan time for high-speed and medium-speed is implied as configured in the FCS properties while the basic scantime is 1 sec.

♦ Open/Close Mark - Instrument Display Area

This mark indicates the open/close status of a device in response tomanipulated output. The open/close marks include the following types.“OPN” indicates the open status and “CLS” indicates the close status.

• Null• OPN-CLS• CLS-OPN• OPN-CLS-OPN• CLS-OPN-CLS• OPN-OPN-CLS• OPN-CLS-CLS• CLS-OPN-OPN• CLS-CLS-OPN

♦ Input Signal ConversionThe input signal conversion is the function that converts the input signalread from the input module or other function blocks into process variable(PV). Input Signal Conversion Common to Regulatory Control

• No Conversion• Square Root• Pulse-train/ Control Priority Type Pulse Train Input/ Exact

Totalization Pulse Train Input• Communications

Input signal conversion is performed only when the signal input throughthe input terminal is the data connection type, one of the I/O connectiontypes. And only the signal transmitted via IN terminal (main input signal)may be converted. Furthermore, the conversion behaves differentlyaccording to the signals connected to the IN terminal.




Training Center I-5

♦ Totalizer time unitThe time scale conversion coefficient (Tk) is set corresponding to thetotalizer time unit. The table below lists the correlation between the timescale conversion coefficient and the totalizer time unit.

Table: Time Scale Conversion Coefficient and Totalizer Time Unit

The time scale conversion coefficient (Tk) is automatically determinedwhen the totalizer time unit is set on the Function Block Detail Builder. Thetotalizer time unit must be set in the same unit as the measurement value(PV). For example, if the unit of PV is “m3/min,” set the totalizer time unitto “minute”

• Number of digits for integrator valueUp to 8 digits can be used. If the integrator value exceeds 8 digits,the value returns to 0 and the integration processing continues.

• A negative integration input signal value can be integrated as anegative value. However, integration of negative values can beexecuted only when the low-input cutoff value is negative.

• UnitEngineering unit is used.

♦ Low-Input CutThe integration operation differs by the integration low-input cut valuesetting as explained below.

• If the low-input cut value is positive (including 0): Integration is notexecuted for the input signal (including negative value) less thanthe low-input cut value.

• If the low-input cutoff value is negative: Integration is not executedfor the input signal if the absolute value of the input signal is lessthan that of the low-input cut value.

Totalizer Low-Input Cut Value:Set the data in the same unit of integrator value (PV), or percentage valuefor the PV scale span. If a percentage value is used, add % after thevalue. The default setting is 0 %.

♦ Control Action DirectionThe control action direction function switches between direct action andreverse action that reflect the increase or decrease of manipulated output






Training Center I-7

• No-Conversion OutputThe manipulated output value (MV) resulted from the control-calculation process is No Conversion output.

• Pulse Width Output ConversionThe changes of manipulated output value ( ∆ MV) is output after

converted into a pulse width signal.• Communication Output Conversion

The manipulated output value (MV) resulted from the control-calculation process is converted into the format compatible with thedestination subsystem.

♦ Tight-Shut Function and Full-Open FunctionThe Tight-shut function fully close an operation valve and the Full-openfunction fully open it when a manipulated output value (MV) is 0% or 100%. With these functions, an actual tight-shut output value (Ms) is set to avalue less than 0% or greater than 100%, fully closing an operation valve.

And an actual full-open output value (Mf) is set to a value less than 0% orgreater than 100%, fully opening the valve. When set “No” to “Tight-shut/full-open Specifications”, these functions are not added.

Figure: Tight-shut function

Define the Tight-shut/full-open specifications, as below.• Tight-shut/full-open Specifications:

Choose “Yes” or “No.”The default setting is “Yes.”

• Output Value for tight-shut (Ms):The actual output value for tight-shutSetting range is -17.19 to 117.19 % (5 significant figures). Default is-17.19 % for direct output setting, and -6.25 % for reverse outputsetting.

• Output Value for full-open (Mf):The actual output value for full-open




Training Center I-8

Setting range is -17.19 to 117.19 % (5 significant figures). Default is106.25 % for direct output setting, and 117.19 % for reverse outputsetting.

The analog output module outputs 4 to 20 mA (or 1 to 5 V) against the 0 to

100 % range of manipulated output values (MV). However, it can alsooutput in the reverse direction, e.g.20 to 4 mA (or 5 to 1 V). The followingfigure shows the relationship between the manipulated output value (MV)and output current. The reverse settings are shown in a dotted line.

Figure: Relationship between the Manipulated Output Value and Output Current

I.3.2 TAG

♦ Tag MarkThis mark indicates the tag priority level of the displayed function block. All

function blocks are provided with tag marks to reflect their priority levels.One of the 8 tag marks are selected.

♦ Double AuthenticationWhen manipulating the important function blocks, other than the logged-on user, one more user’s confirmation may be required. In this case, theconfirmation may be performed on the Double Authenticated Confirmationdialog box. In order to activate the double authentication for confirmation,[Double Authentication] setting on the Function Block Detail Builder mustbe set to [Yes]. And the tag mark of the function block must be set as[Important]. There is no requirement that user of [Name2] must be

superior than user of [Name1]. Any user registered on HIS other than theuser of [Name1] can be act as user of [Name2] for double authentication.




Training Center I-9

Figure: Double Authenticated Confirmation Dialog Box

♦ The Status Change MessageWhen function blocks such as sequence control blocks change blockmode, the event recording function sends the status change messagefrom FCS to HIS to inform the operator.

• Status Change Message Bypass:Select “Yes” or “No.”The default is “No.”

In case of the sequence table block (ST16), the default is “Yes.”When status change message is set as Bypass, the message of statuschange is not recorded in the historical message file in HIS. When thestatus change is performed manually on HIS, the status change messagewill all be recorded in the historical message file in HIS regardless thesetting of bypass.

♦ Upper window

An upper window can be specified for each function block and connectionI/O in the System Builders beforehand. The specified upper window canbe called up by pushing the graphic button or the upper graphic key whilethe function block is selected.

♦ HelpThe user-definable help dialog messages are treated as dialog names thatmay be specified as HW0001 to HW9999.

♦ MV Display on FaceplateThe manipulated output value (MV) may be displayed in percentage (%)

or real amount. The real amount display is the same way as processvariable (PV) and setpoint value (SV) that reflects the amount in a specificengineering unit. When displayed in percentage (%), the MV is convertedinto percentage and displayed in %MV.

♦ CAS MarkThis mark indicates that the function block displayed on the instrumentfaceplate may be set to cascade mode. However, the definition may be




Training Center I-10

set AUTO to let system decide according to function block’s realconnection.

♦ Kind of CAS MarkAn APCS mark is designated in [Kind of CAS Mark] of the Function Block

Detail Definition window. The behavior of the Instrument Faceplatedepending on the designation of [CAS Mark] and [Kind of CAS Mark] isshown in the table below.

*1: Indicates the default.

Table: Behavior of the Instrument Faceplate by the Designation of [CAS Mark] and [Kindof CAS]

♦ CMP MarkThis mark indicates that the block mode of the function block displayed onthe instrument faceplate is RCAS (remote cascade) or ROUT (remoteoutput).

♦ Scale Low/High Limit, Scale Reverse DisplayThe scale high limit (SH) and scale low limit (SL) of engineering unit data,up to 7 digits including a sign and a decimal point, can be set. Defaultvalues are “100.00” for SH and “0.0” for SL. Up to nine digits can bespecified for a batch set block. When the reverse scale display isspecified, the low limit is displayed at the top of the scale and the high limitat the bottom of the scale.

♦ MV Reverse DisplayIn the standard display of a function block faceplate, the high limit displaysat the top and the low limit displays at the bottom. To designate the MVreverse-display may upside-down the standard display. In this case, thepointer of manipulated output value (MV) behaves oppositely inaccordance to the digital value of parameters. This designation onlychanges the display of function block’s faceplate and does not relate tothe actual output value. If a valve’s Open/Close is opposite, it isconvenient to use this function when aligning the valves function blockfaceplate with other blocks in the same group.





♦ IndexThis function displays two indexes in the manipulated output value (MV)scale on the operation monitoring window of the operation and monitoringfunction. These are called the manipulated output indexes. By settingthese indexes at the operable limits of the manipulated output values

(MV), they can be used as manipulation guides in the manual mode, or asguides for verifying normal status in the automatic mode. For a RegulatoryControl Block with manipulated output value (MV), both the high outputlimit (OPHI) and low output limit (OPLO) indexes can be set on the tuningwindow. These limits are displayed in the operation and monitoringwindow of the operation and monitoring function. The indexes may bedefined on the Function Block Detail Builder.

• Set Indexes: Selectable from “Yes” and “No.”Default is “Yes.”

♦ Scale-Division

The scale divisions may be specified as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 divisions. Auto-division may be used.

♦ Upper Equipment NameThe upper equipment name refers to the name of the equipment objectlocated in the next upper layer of an equipment object in a plant hierarchy.Specifying an upper equipment name via the Plant Hierarchy Builderdetermines the location of an equipment object in the plant hierarchy. Onlycustom equipment names can be specified as the upper equipment name.

I.3.3 INPUT

♦ Process variable range; High and low limitsNumerical values of seven digits or less, where the sign or decimal pointtakes one digit each. The default is “100.0” for the upper limit and “0.0” forthe lower limit.

♦ Engineering unitConsists of six or less standard-width characters or three double-widthcharacters. The default is “%.”

♦ Input Signal Filtering

The digital filter may be defined for each function block in “Input SignalFiltering” on the Function Block Detail Builder. Input Signal Filtering:“None,” “Auto,” “1,” “2” and “3.” The default setting is “Auto.”When Auto is selected; if the IN terminal is connected to I/O module otherthan communication module, “Digital Filter Coefficient 1” is used. If the INterminal is connected to neither communication module nor I/O module,no filtering process is performed.





♦ PV OvershootWhen the data status of input signal becomes invalid (BAD), the PVovershoot function overshoots the process variable (PV), or upscale it toscale high-limit or downscales it to scale low-limit. Select “Overshoot PV”or “Holding PV.” The default setting is “Holding PV.” With “Holding PV,”

when the data status of process variable (PV) becomes invalid, the lastgood process variable is held. Furthermore, when the input signal is not aprocess input signal, the operation becomes “Holding PV” even though“Overshoot PV” is specified.

I.3.4 ALARM

♦ Alarm LevelDesignating an alarm processing level to a function block or an element,the alarms from the function block or the element will have the designatedpriority and display the designated color. The definitions for level1 to

level4 are fixed for a whole system. The alarm priorities and colors forlevel5 to level16 can be defined by users.

♦ Input Open AlarmThe input open alarm check is a function that determines whether theinput values read from the field by the I/O module is out of the range of thehigh and low limit input open detection setpoint values. The high-limit inputopen alarm (IOP) is initiated when it is determined that the input valueexceeds the input open high detection setpoint value. Similarly, the low-limit input open alarm (IOP-) is initiated when the input value is below thelow-limit input open detection setpoint value. The high and low limit input

open alarm (IOP, IOP-) indicates that a failure such as severed wires inthe detection terminal or transmitter has occurred. IOP alarm detection onboth sides, high, low and no IOP alarm is selected.

♦ PV High-High/Low-Low Limit AlarmThe input high-high and low-low limit alarm check is a function thatdetermines whether the input process variable (PV) is out of the range ofthe high-high and low-low limit alarm setpoint value (HH, LL).





Figure: Input High-High and Low-Low Limit Alarm Check

♦ Input velocity limit alarm The following types of input velocity alarm checks are available.The default is “detection of both directions.”

• Detection of both directions:Monitors velocity in both directions, positive and negative

• Detection of single direction:Monitors velocity only in positive direction or negative direction

• No Detection:Detection is not conducted

♦ Number Of Samplings (N) And Sampling Interval (Tp)The sampling intervals (Tp) and the number of samplings (N) is defined.

• Number of samplings (N): 1 to 12 pointsThe default setting is 1 point

• Sampling interval (Tp): 1 to 10,000Unit is scan interval. The default setting is 1

♦ Deviation AlarmThe deviation alarm check is a function that determines whether theabsolute value of the deviation (DV=PV-SV) between the process variable(PV) and the setpoint value (SV) exceeds the absolute value of thedeviation alarm setpoint value (DL). When it is determined that the formerexceeds the latter, a deviation alarm in the positive direction (DV+) isactivated if the deviation is in the positive direction. Similarly, if thedeviation is in the negative direction, a deviation alarm in negativedirection (DV-) is activated.





The type of deviation alarm check can be defined on the “deviation alarmcheck” item of the Function Block Detail Builder. The types of deviationalarm checks are listed below. The default is “detect both directions.”

• Detection of both directions:Monitors deviation in both directions

• Detection of single direction:Monitors deviation in only one direction, positive or negative• No detection:

Detection is not conductedWhen single direction is selected for detection, if the deviation alarmsetpoint value is plus symbol, only the deviation in the positive direction isdetected and if the deviation alarm setpoint value is negative symbol, onlythe deviation in the negative direction is detected.

♦ Deviation Check FilterThe deviation check filter gain and time constant can be defined.

• DV check filter gain: Deviation check filter gain0.000 to 10.000. Default is 0.• DV check filter time constant: Deviation check filter time constant

0 to 10,000 seconds. Default is 0.

♦ Output Open AlarmThe output open alarm check is a function that determines the data statusreceived from the I/O module. Based on the data status (OOP) receivedfrom the I/O module, an output open alarm (OOP) is activated. This alarmindicates that the control output line has been physically severed. Choosefrom “Enabled” or “Disabled”. Default is “Enabled.”

♦ Output High/Low Limit AlarmThe output high and low limit alarm check is a function that determineswhether the manipulated output value (MV) exceeds the range of themanipulated output variable high limit/low-limit setpoint (MH, ML) for theoutput limiter. The types of output high and low limit alarm checks arelisted below. The default is set as “high and low limit alarms.”

• Both high and low limit alarms: Output high and low limit alarmcheck enabled

• High-limit alarm only: Output high-limit alarm check enabled• Low-limit alarm only: Output low-limit alarm check enabled• Alarms disabled: No alarm checking

♦ Bad Connection AlarmThe bad connection status alarm check is a function that determineswhether there is a faulty connection to the function block or data at the I/Oconnection destination. When it is determined that the connection status isbad, the bad connection alarm (CNF) is activated. When the connection is





restored, the system recovers from the alarming state. The badconnection is judged as follows.

• The connected destination function block is in out of service (O/S)mode.

• The connection information is abnormal, and the data reference or

data set cannot be performed.• The connected destination function block’s data type is invalid(cannot be convert to the appropriate data type).

I.3.5 CONTROL CALCULATION

♦ PID Control algorithmFor PID control computation, the input variables of the proportional,integral and derivative terms are different for each PID control algorithm.The table below shows the PID control algorithms and the input variable ofeach term:

Table: PID Control Algorithms and the Input Variables

Use the Function Block Detail Builder to define the PID control algorithm.• PID Control Algorithm:

Select one of the following algorithms:“Basic Type”“Proportional PV Derivative Type PID Control (I-PID)”“PV Derivative Type PID Control (PI-D)”“Automatic Determination”“Automatic Determination 2”The default is “Automatic Determination 2.”

When the block mode of the PID Controller Block is remotecascade (RCAS), the PID control algorithm “AutomaticDetermination” and “Automatic Determination 2” act as follows:

• Automatic determination type: Same actions as in the cascade(CAS) mode.





• Automatic determination type 2: Same actions as in the automatic(AUT) mode.

♦ Control period

The controller block executes the input processing per scan period.However, the control calculation and output processing are executed pereach control period.The control period of controller block is always an integer-multiple of thescan period. There are 2 types of the control periods of controller block asshown below:

• The control period of the regulatory control action.• The control period of the intermittent control action.

Control calculation is executed at every control period in regulatory controlaction.

Figure: The Control Period in the Regulatory Control Action

♦ I/O CompensationThe Input or Output Compensation function adds the compensation value(VN) received from outside to the input signal or output signal of PIDcontrol computation, while the controller block is operating automatically inthe automatic (AUT), cascade (CAS), or remote cascade (RCAS) mode.The Control Action of Input or Output Compensation include the followingtwo types:

• Input compensation• Output compensation

The parameters of the I/O compensation:• I/O compensation gain (CK): -10.000 to +10.000.

The default is 1.000.• I/O compensation bias (CB): Arbitrary engineering unit data.

The default is 0.0.





♦ Non-Linear GainThe non-linear gain function changes the proportional gain in accordancewith the deviation of the process variable (PV) from the setpoint value(SV) in the control computation. As a result, a non-linear relationship is

formed between the manipulated output change ( ∆ MV) and the deviationof the process variable (PV) from setpoint value (SV). The non-linear gainfunction is used for pH control, in which the process gain often becomestoo high near the target value, or for buffer tank level control, whosepurpose is to stabilize the discharge volume while maintaining the tanklevel within the limits. The actions that realize the non-linear gain functioninclude “gap actions” and “squared deviation actions.”

The gap action moderates control effects by lowering the proportional gainwhen the deviation is within the preset gap width (GW). The parameter ofthe gap action:

• Gap width (GW):Engineering unit data between 0 and the PV scale span range limit.The default is 0.

The squared deviation action changes the proportional gain in proportionto the degree of deviation when the deviation is within the preset gapwidth (GW). The parameter of the squared deviation action:

• Gap width (GW):Engineering unit data between 0 and the PV scale span range limit.The default is 0.

♦ Deadband ActionThe deadband action stops the manipulated output value (MV) fromchanging while the deviation (DV) is within the preset deadband (DB)range, by causing the manipulated output change ( ∆ MV) to be “0.”

Figure: Characteristics of Deadband Action





To set the deadband action - Select “Yes” or “No.” The default is “No.” When thedeadband action is set as “Yes,” the hysteresis (HYS) must be set. Hysteresis:Engineering unit data between 0 and the PV scale span range limit. The defaultis the value equivalent to 1.0 % of the PV scale span.

♦ AUT FallbackThe AUT fallback is an error processing function that switches the blockmode from cascade (CAS) or primary direct (PRD) to automatic (AUT)when the AUT fallback condition is established. Thus the set value of thecontrol loop can be set by the operator. The AUT fallback condition isestablished when the data status of the cascade setpoint value (CSV)become invalid (BAD) or communication error (NCOM).

♦ Computer Backup ModeWhen the computer fail is detected, the function block suspends the actionin the remote cascade (RCAS) mode or remote output (ROUT) mode

temporarily and switches to the computer backup mode.I.3.6 OUTPUT

♦ Output ChangeThe output velocity limiter limits the amount of change in the output valueaccording to the output velocity limit setting. The output velocity limit is apermissible amount of output change over one scan period. The outputvelocity limiter and the bypass for MAN-mode output velocity limiter canbe defined.

• Output Velocity Limiter:

Engineering unit data or percentage within the range from 0 to theMV scale span setting in positive values only (six significantfigures). The default setting is 100.0 %.

• MAN Mode Output Velocity Limiter Bypass:Selectable between “Yes” and “No.” Default is “No.”

♦ Auxiliary OutputThe auxiliary output is used when output a signal through the SUBterminal to a destination other than the final control element. The signal isoften used as compensation data to other function blocks, or to theindicator outside of the FCS, etc. In the Regulatory Control Blocks, the

process variable (PV), change in process variable (∆

PV), manipulatedoutput value (MV), or the change in manipulated output value ( ∆ MV) isoutput via the SUB terminal. The connection method is the data setting.

Output Type is selectable from “Positional Output Action” and “VelocityOutput Action.” Default is “Positional Output Action.” When the outputaction for auxiliary output is set to “Positional Output Action,” the outputvalues (MV, ∆ MV, PV, or ∆ PV) can be set in the connection destination as





it is. Also, when set to the “Velocity Output Action” type, the value readback from the connection destination is added to the output value and setin the connection destination.

♦ MV Display Style

Use the Function Block Detail Builder to set the display form for themanipulated output value (MV).• MV Display Style:

Select “Automatic Determination” or “User Define.”The default is “Automatic Determination.”

When “Automatic Determination” is selected, the engineering unit andscale range of the manipulated output value (MV) change according to theconnected destination of the OUT terminal. When “User Define” isselected, set the engineering unit and scale range for the manipulatedoutput value (MV).

♦ Limit Output in Direction when ClampedWhen the data status of the cascade connection destination is CLP+ orCLP-, the output direction of the manipulated output value (MV) isrestricted, i.e., the value cannot be changed to exceed or falls below thepresent output value, so that only the manipulated output value (MV) inthe direction that cancels CLP+ or CLP- is output. Limit output in directionwhen clamped is selectable from “Yes” and “No.” Default is “Yes.”

♦ Control Calculation Output TypeA Regulatory Control Block outputs its manipulated output value (MV) orthe vicissitude of that value ( ∆ MV). There are two types output action:

positional and velocity:• In positional output action, the output value connects to itsdestinations unchanged.

• In velocity output action, the amount of change for thecurrent output ( ∆ MV) is added to the value read back fromthe connection destination of the output terminal.

The output operation can be selectable from “positional” or “velocity.”Default is the “positional” action.

I.3.7 CONNECTION

The wiring configuration done using the control drawing builder appears on thissheet.

I.3.8 OTHERS – CONSTANT

Constants are preset tuning parameters; they can be set in the Constant text boxon others tab. Up to 1,024 alphanumeric characters can be used for each





constant. Upon online downloading to an FCS, the constants are alwayssubstituted for the current tuning parameters for any changed function block. Thesaved tuning parameters take precedence over the constants upon offlinedownloading to an FCS, while the constants take precedence over the unsavedtuning parameters upon initial offline downloading to an FCS.

Training Center J-4

Y/N pattern of the action rule for the rule number whose condition issatisfied.

♦ Step LabelThese labels are attached for phase identification purposes whenperforming step sequence control using a sequence table. Step labels are

character strings that combine two or less alphanumeric characters (A toZ, 0 to 9).If two characters are combined while one is not alphanumeric and theother is alphanumeric, the label is managed as the same step name, evenif the order of characters is reversed (e.g., “_A” and “A_”). Up to 100 stepscan be described in one sequence table group. However, same steplabels cannot be described at multiple locations inside the sequence tablegroup. The step labeled 00 is activated every scan cycle.

♦ Next Step Label (THEN, ELSE)Describe the step label that is to be executed in the next scan.

Next step labels include THEN and ELSE labels according to caseconditions being true or false. If both labels are blank, the step does nottransfer.

• THEN labelDescribe the next step label when the corresponding rulecondition status is true. Transition to the step described inthe THEN label is executed after the manipulated output iscompleted.

• ELSE labelDescribe the next step label when the corresponding rulestatus is false. The described step labels must exist in the

same sequence table group. To execute a step from anothersequence table group at the next scan, it must be describedas an action signal.

♦ Tag Name.Data ItemDescribe the input connection information of the condition signal or theoutput connection information of the action signal.

♦ DataDescribe the condition specification of the condition signal or the operationspecification of the action signal.

♦ CommentComments are defined by users for the condition and action signals. The

meaning of symbols and the contents of status manipulation may be put inthese texts, by using up to 24 single-byte alphanumeric characters, or 12double-byte characters. By clicking the task [Referencing SignalComment] from the [Tool] menu, the user-defined comment text may bedisplayed at the right area of signals. By this Referencing Signal Commentoperation, the comment texts defined by users for the condition signalsand action signals and the tag comments are all displayed. The comment

text for the referenced signals cannot be edited on the sequence tableediting window.

J.2.2 SEQUENCE DESCRIPTION EXAMPLEThe basic logical circuit figure for the AND and OR commands is described in the

sequence table as shown in the following figure.

Figure AND Circuit Example

In the example in this figure, for AND operator, only when two condition signalsare satisfied, the operation may be performed.

Figure OR Circuit Example

In the example in this figure, for OR operator, any one of the two conditions isestablished, the operation may be performed.

J.2.3 SEQUENCE TABLE PROCESSING FLOWThe figure below shows the sequence table processing flow.




Training Center J-6

Figure: Sequence Table Processing Flow

♦ Input ProcessingThe true/false status of the condition signal is determined by performing

condition testing based on the input signal.♦ Condition Rule Processing

The true/false status of the rule condition is determined by comparing thetrue/false status of the condition signal with the Y/N pattern of thecondition rule described in the sequence table.

♦ Action Rule ProcessingThe action signal output is determined by the Y/N pattern of the action rulewhen the status of condition is true.

♦ Output Processing

Status manipulation of the action target is performed based on thedescription of the action signal. The status manipulation, start commandtransmission, data setting, and status change can be performed to thecontact outputs and other function blocks. There are two types ofsequence tables: step and non-step. Rule processing differs by the type ofsequence table.

J.2.4 ACTION OF STEP SEQUENCEIn a step sequence table, the process control sequence of a phase-step processis divided into the smallest phase units (steps) of the condition monitoring andoperation, and then these steps are executed one by one. In a step sequence

table, only step label 00 and the rule corresponding to the current step numberare subject to condition testing and operation. The following shows the action ofa step sequence table.




Training Center J-7

Figure: Example of Conditional Branch in step sequence

J.2.5 RULE EXTENSIONThe number of rules in one sequence table is fixed at 32 and cannot be modified.However, if the number of rules in a sequence table is not enough to describe

one phase unit, it can be extended in the 32-rule unit by connecting to anothersequence table. The number of rules can be extended for a step-type sequencetable.

♦ Method of Rule ExtensionTo extend the number of rules, specify a tag name for the rule extensionblock (ST16E) in the sequence table setting area of the extendingsequence table (ST16). It does not matter if the number of signals andsignal contents are different between the extending sequence table(ST16) and extended sequence table (ST16E). The number of rules canbe extended in the 32-rule unit per block. An example of the number of

rules extended to 64 is shown below.

Figure: Examples of Rule Extension

In factory plant operation, for monitoring purposes user may assign a tag namefor each common switch, global switch and annunciator message output whenrequired.

J.4.1 COMMON SWITCH

Common switches are internal switches used by various control functions to savethe shared logical values in an FCS.The logical value of a common switch is not directly output to an external FCS,but are used by various control functions in an FCS for condition testing andstatus manipulation. Common switches in the CS 3000 with element number%SW0201 to %SW4000 may be freely defined by users. Common switches withelement number %SW0001 to %SW0200 are fixed as system switches. They areused to indicate the different statuses of the FCS.

♦ Condition TestingWhen common switch ON/OFF status is applied as a condition test signalto a sequence table block and logic chart block or to a designated functionblock in sequence connection via its signal input terminal, the testing ofthe condition establishment is referred to as common switch conditiontesting. The syntax form for condition testing is shown below.

♦ LevelSecurity level may be set from level 1 to level 8. Level 4 is the defaultsecurity level set for the function blocks.

J.4.3 GLOBAL SWITCH

A global switch is an internal switch with the same logical value on all stations inthe same domain.The value of global switch assigned to the present station can be checked anddefined from any application on a station. Up to 256 write-enable global switchescan be assigned to each station. The defined value is broadcasted to each

station in the system via V net scan transmission when data transfer to otherstations is defined in Scan Transmission Definition on the FCS ConstantsBuilder. When the values of global switches under the control of other stationsare sent via scan transmission, the global switch on the present station isupdated when data receipt is defined at Scan Transmission Definition on theFCS Constants Builder. The values of global switches under the control of otherstations can be checked. The values of global switches are updated at the sametime mostly on all stations in the system. The values are updated by 100 msec,





which is fixed. With this function, status information can be transferred from onestation to the control function of another station with very little delay.

J.4.4 ANNUNCIATOR MESSAGE OUTPUT (%AN)

The HIS annunciator function simulates the annunciator instrument panel. Thisfunction informs the HIS of the occurrence or recovery of an alarm message.These special message outputs are used to simulate the annunciator panels ofthe instrument panels. Unlike other message outputs, annunciator messageoutputs store alarm occurrence statuses as logical values. When the alarmoccurrence status changes, the annunciator message informs the HIS of theoccurrence or recovery of the message. When an alarm occurs, the alarmsymbol will flash to prompt the operator for acknowledgment. The alarm symbolwill stop flashing once it has been acknowledged. Annunciator message outputsare processed at the basic scan cycles only.

♦ Condition TestingWhen annunciator message ON/OFF status is applied as a condition testsignal to a sequence table block and logic chart block or to a designatedfunction block in sequence connection via its signal input terminal, thetesting of the condition establishment is referred to as annunciatormessage condition testing. The syntax form for condition testing is shownbelow.

♦ Status ManipulationWhen annunciator message ON/OFF status is applied as a manipulatedsignal from a sequence table block and logic chart block or from adesignated function block in sequence connection via its signal outputterminal, the annunciator message status reflecting the manipulated signalstatus is referred to as annunciator message status manipulation. Two





types of condition signal outputs are available: a “latched” type and a“non-latched” type. The syntax form for status manipulation is shownbelow.

J.4.5 OPERATOR GUIDE MESSAGE (%OG)Operator guide messages are used to prompt the operator’s acknowledgment forcertain operation during certain progress of the process.

♦ The Occurrence of Operator Guide MessagesOperator guide messages are triggered by the sequence control of thecontrol station. When the Operation and Monitoring Functions detect anoperator guide message, a character string that corresponds to themessage number is displayed in the Operator Guide window, then theoperator guide message is saved to the historical message log file. Theoccurrence of operator guide messages is shown as below:

K.2.1 PRINTER

♦ HIS Printer NameMessage output may be assigned to different printers, according to themessage type. The assignment is defined in the printer definition tab of

the HIS Constant Builder. The messages output to printer may beassigned, similar to the example showing below, as [None], [MSG1],[MSG2], [MSG3], [MSG4], [MSG5] according to the message type. Thedefault setting is all types of message are assigned to MSG1.

Table: An example of Printer output definition

As the above example, since the process alarm message, and messagesin response to the sequence message request are assigned to the sameprinter MSG2, both types of message are printed out from the sameprinter in the order of their arising. The HIS printer name here requires tobe assigned a real printer, and this may be defined on HIS Setup window.

♦ User Group

When printing, the scope of operation and monitoring of the designateduser group decides the scope of the message to print out. The messageoutside of the operation and monitoring scope cannot be printed. Thedefault user group is DEFGRP (all), messages of all stations may beprinted out.

♦ TabTo define the start position for different types of message, the messageprintout may be in easy-to-read format. The print start position may bedefined on the printer definition tab of the HIS Constant Builder.

K.2.2 USER GROUPWhen printing, the scope of operation and monitoring of the designated usergroup decides the scope of the message to print out. The message outside of theoperation and monitoring scope cannot be printed. The default user group is

DEFGRP (all), messages of all stations may be printedK.2.3 CLOSING PROCESS

♦ Hourly ClosingIn the hourly closing data process, the trend data of the previous one hourare gathered from the saved trend data file, in which the trend gatheringpens specified for closing processing are also saved. The hourly closingdata such as the average, total, maximum and minimum values arecalculated for this one hour based on the gathered valid data. Thecalculated hourly closing data are stored into the hourly closing data files

created for each trend gathering pen. Hourly closing data process isperformed at the closing time of every hour. The number of data pointsused for the hourly closing processing vary depending on the trendsampling period.

• Trend of 1-minute sampling periodTrend of 1-minute sampling period creates the hourly data using 60points of data.


• Trend of 5-minute sampling period

Trend of 5-minute sampling period creates the hourly data using 12points of data.• Trend of 10-minute sampling period

Trend of 10-minute sampling period creates the hourly data using 6points of data.

♦ Daily Closing, Closing TimeIn the daily closing data process, the hourly closing data of the previous24 hours are gathered and the daily closing data are calculated for theday, including the average, total, maximum and minimum values. Thecalculated daily closing data are stored into the daily closing data files

created for each trend gathering pen. Daily closing processing isperformed after the hourly closing process at the daily closing time everyday. The default daily closing time is 0:00 am. The daily closing time maybe changed using the closing processing tab of the HIS constants builderto meet the requirement of the plant operation. Unlike the hourly andmonthly closing times which are fixed by the system, whether dataacquired until the daily closing time is the data of the closing day or that of




Training Center K-7

the previous day may be specified, and the daily closing time may beadjusted within the range of 0:00 to 23:00 (in hour units).

♦ Monthly ClosingIn the monthly closing process, the daily closing data of the previous one

month are gathered, and the monthly closing data are calculated for themonth, including the average, total, maximum and minimum values. Thecalculated monthly data are stored into the monthly data files created foreach trend gathering pen. Monthly closing processing is performed afterthe daily closing processing on the last day of each month.

♦ Disk Space UsedEach type of closing data may be saved for the following period:

Table: Save Period of Closing Processed Data

K.2.4 LONG-TERM DATA SAVE

♦ Historical Message, Hourly Closing, Daily Closing, Monthly Closing. After trend data, closing data and historical messages are saved using theHIS standard function, they are automatically stored via the long-term dataarchive. The storage period in the long-term archive depends on the datatype and data storage unit defined on the Trend Acquisition PenAssignment Builder or on the HIS Constants Builder. When the storageperiod is defined, the required total hard disk space is calculatedautomatically. So long the 5 % free space is reserved in the hard disk, thedata storage may take as much space as desired.

Table: Storage Units for Long-Term Data and Setting Units for Store Time




Training Center K-8

♦ Long-Term Data Save - Disk Space Used

The disk space required for long-term data storage can be calculated fromthe number of data points, data-sampling period and the number of daysfor storage.

*1: The required minimum disk free space is a multiple of 10.8 MB. Afterthe division, the later part of the formula, trunk out the decimals then times10.8.

Table: Formula for Calculating Disk Capacity

♦ Calculation of Disk Space RequiredFor an example, a datum with 1 minute sampling period and 256 samples(2 blocks), when the datum is required to be archived for 30 days. Thefirst, (30+13)/7 = 6.14, after trunk out, it becomes 6. Thus, the space forholding one block is 6x10.8 = 64.8 MB. For two blocks, the space requiredis 64.8 x 2 =129.6 MB.

K.2.5 PRINT WAIT TIME

The messages are not printed out until they are piled up to fit one page for print.With definition of the queuing time, the message may be sent to printer when thedefined queuing time elapsed. When Queuing time is specified as 0, the autoprint does not function. Auto print queuing time may be defined on the HISMessage Print Wait Time definition tab of the HIS Constant Builder. Printerqueuing time: Define in minutes per HIS printer. The default is 5 minutes.

Table: Scheduler Definition Method for Each Type of Startup

Use the date and time displayed in the system message window as referencewhen defining the date and time of execution. Start time is specified in minutes,and seconds are always set to “0” (zero).

When multiple tasks are specified for execution at the same time, the tasks areexecuted in the defined order. To define a task to be executed at the end ofevery month, specify “End of Month” with “Monthly.” If “31” is defined with“Monthly,” the scheduler will not execute the task properly in February, April,June, September and November.

If the defined function is to be executed everyday, the execution period andnumber of times should be defined. However, an error occurs if the product of theexecution period and number of times exceeds 24 hours.

For example, an error will not occur if a function with period of 1 hour is definedto be executed 10 times, but an error will occur if the same function is defined tobe executed 25 times, because the 1-hour period times the number of timesequals 25 hours.

• Users of privilege level S1 can operate and monitor generalwindows. However, they can only monitor important windows andsystem operation windows excluding System View.

• Users of privilege level S2 can operate and monitor general andimportant windows. However, they can only monitor systemoperation windows excluding System View.

• Users of privilege level S3 can operate and monitor all windows.

♦ Disable ScalingWhen the scaling attribute is set to “none,” the contents of the windowdisplay are shown at the size when it was created, regardless of the sizeof the display window. When a new user-defined window is created, thenew window will have the scaling attribute by default.Whether to add the scaling attribute can be set in the Property tab calledfrom the System View. The content of the window display where thescaling attribute is set to “None,” is shown at the size when it was createdregardless of the display size. If the display is smaller than the windowsize, it is shown as is with blank margins, and if the display is larger it isshown with scroll bars. For a window with the scaling attribute, the displaycontents are adjusted to fit the window display size. Since scaling isautomatically performed by the system, the line width may vary dependingon the position, and small images may change their shapes. To minimizethese scaling effects, designate an appropriate window size in the GraphicBuilder.

Training Center Q-8

♦ Instrument Diagram Display TypeThe display content of an instrument diagram differs by the type of afaceplate. Select either normal type or compact type.

• NormalThe entire display contents of the instrument diagram are displayedin full.

• CompactThe display contents of the instrument diagram are simplified. Incompact type, the digital display of data is no longer available. Thesize of both full and compact types can be changed. However, thevertical to horizontal ratio is fixed in both types.

♦ Width of the Instrument DiagramThis sets whether the instrument diagram is displayed in default width(single-width) or in double width. However, even if the double width isspecified, the actual HIS display may only be in single-width (default size)depending on the type of an instrument faceplate.

♦ Operation KeyThe operation key (INC/DEC key) on the console type HIS may bespecified for the corresponding instrument faceplate s on the displayposition 1 to 8. For the double-width instrument faceplate, it may bespecified to the adjacent two positions. Thus, on position 8, the double-width instrument faceplate cannot be assigned. For example, if position 3and 4 are available, it may be specified on position 3.

♦ Instrument Diagram Tag NameEnter text for the tag name of an instrument diagram to be displayed.

Table: Designating the Alarm Priority (Default)

♦ CRTDesignate in the Alarm Priority Builder whether or not the status change isto be displayed in a window upon occurrence of the alarm or uponrecovery of the system.




Training Center T-2

♦ PRTDesignate in the Alarm Priority Builder whether or not the status change isto be printed out to a printer upon occurrence of the alarm or uponrecovery of the system.

♦ Historical FileDesignate in the Alarm Priority Builder whether or not the status change isto be logged in a historical message save file upon occurrence of thealarm or upon recovery of the system. A message logged in a historicalmessage save file can be displayed in a Historical Message Reportwindow.

♦ Alarm ActionBasically, the alarm flashing action starts upon receiving a message thatindicates occurrence of an alarm. The action stops upon receiving amessage that indicates returning to a normal status, or whenacknowledgment operation is performed by the operator. The alarmactions are classified into the following types based on the flashing actionsthat correspond to alarm occurrence, returning to a normal status andacknowledgment operation:

• Lock type (for high-priority and medium-priority alarms)• Non-lock type (for low-priority alarms)• Self-acknowledge type (for logging alarms)

Different types of alarm flashing actions can be set for different alarmpriorities.

♦ RewarningThere are two types of repeated warning alarm actions, the timer type andthe event type. The timer type repeated warning alarm is processed atspecified time intervals. The event type repeated warning alarmprocessing is processed by a command issued from a sequence tableblock, etc.

T.2. USER-DEFINED ALARM STATUS CHARACTER STRING

Besides the system-fixed alarm status character strings, there are eight tables(USER9 to USER16) for alarm status character strings that the user candesignate in the User-Defined Status Character String Builder for user-definedblocks.




Training Center T-3

Figure: User-Defined Status Character String Builder

The function blocks that can use the alarm status character strings designatedhere are faceplate blocks, SFC blocks, and unit instruments. There is a tablereserved for each of these function blocks, used for designating the alarm status

character strings. The figure below shows the relationship between the alarmstatus character string and the bit position (default) for each function block:




Training Center T-4

Table: Alarm Status Character String Definition (Default)

T.2.1 PRECAUTION ON DESIGNATING THE CHARACTER STRING

Designate the character string for Nos.9 to 32 (with up to eight alphanumericcharacters starting with an alphabetical character).

♦ Designate for No.9 the alarm status character string indicating the normalstatus.

♦ The same character string cannot be designated more than once in onetable. For example, with “NR” designated for No.9, “NR” cannot bedesignated for Nos.10 to 32 in the same table.

♦ If using the same character string in multiple tables, add the same numberto the string in all of the tables. For example, with “NR” designated for

No.9 in table USER9, if designating “NR” in other tables (USER10 to 16),use No.9 in all of these tables.♦ Designate for No.33 the character string for default processing. The

character string for default processing refers to a character string output inthe user-defined block status other than that for Nos.1 to 32.
