11.2 Lesson 1 Minerals Libraries (BMI Libraries)

11.2.1 Description
This lesson describes the Minerals Libraries (BMI Libraries) that are used to program
Minerals applications.
11.2.2 Objectives
On completion of this lesson you will be able to:
Describe the Minerals Libraries (BMI Libraries) that are used as a base for
application programming.
11.2.3 Libraries overview

Before application development can be started the following BMI Control Builder
Libraries must at least be inserted in your project:
BMIConst
BMISupport
BMIAdaptions
BMIStandard
When weighing feeders are part of the application the following library has to be
inserted as well:
BMILib_WeighFeeder
The official name of the complete library set is called ControlIT AC800M Minerals
Library and contains all the controller software modules that are used to configure BMI
applications (main focus being in Minerals Industry) with ControlIT AC800M
controllers.
See also the Product Guides
This library is always (per default)
inserted in your project.
These libraries are inserted

automatically when inserting the
BMI Libraries
Course CH112
11.2.3.1 Library: BMIConst

The library BMIConst, contains all (project) constants that are used in the other BMI
Libraries.
Each constant has a Name, that is used to connect the constant value in the other BMI
Libraries.
In the example above, the selected project constant is called cBMI.MOT.M1_txt.
The Default value is Not Available
The data Type is string.
Course CH112
11.2.3.2 Library: BMISupport

The library BMISupport, contains specific Function Blocks that can be used in BMI
applications in addition to the standard function blocks delivered with the system
libraries.
11.2.3.3 Library: BMIAdapations

The library BMIAdaptions, contains specific Function Blocks that are used and
required by some of the software modules in the BMIStandard Library.
It also contains specific Control Modules, that can be used in BMI applications as an
extension to certain Object Types, providing LCB Local Control Box functionality
(local control of the object via push buttons).
The password to the BMIAdaptions Library is public, so that users can modify the code
according to their needs (e.g. project specific LCB Local Control Box functionality)
Course CH112
11.2.3.4 Library: BMIStandard

The library BMIStandard, contains the actual set of purpose-build, typical, software
modules that are used to configure the BMI applications.
These software modules have been developed with the ABB Control Builder M
Professional programming tool, as Control Modules Types (CM).
The Control Modules are compliant with the IEC 61131-3 standard.
These software modules comprise the Minerals Library, and are grouped in seven
different object categories:
Basic Objects
Group Objects
Consumer Objects
Loop Objects
Dosing Objects
Report Objects
A separate Reference Manual is available for each object category, providing more
details.
Course CH112
Exeptional two software modules have been developed as Function Block Types:
For further details, see the Reference Manual for Group Objects.
11.2.3.5 Library: BMILib_WeighFeeder

The library BMILib_WeighFeeder, contains thesoftware modules that are used to
configure weigh feeder objects in the BMI applications.
To become a Weigh Feeder Control proportioning function when designing an

application one Control Module Instance WFC will be combined with several
WFC_Prop Control Module Instances (between 2 to 8).
The WFC proportioning function is normally also used in combination with:
Drive Group (GRBAS05, GRPEXP)
Loop objects (PID)
Consumer objects (PID)
Preselection Binary (PREBIN)
Start Warning (STW)
For further details, see the Reference Manual for Dosing Objects.
Course CH112
11.2.4 Learn the different object types

To do:
You need to study the different Reference Manuals for the different object
categories:
Basic Objects
Group Objects
Consumer Objects
Loop Objects
Dosing Objects
Report Objects
Concentrate basicly on the CONTROL part of the objects !

What are the different object types that exist ?
When and where do you use them ?

11.3 Lesson 2 Application and Variable Structure of BMI Applications

11.3.1 Description
This lesson describes the application and variable structure of BMI Applications.
11.3.2 Objectives
Understand the application and variable structure of BMI Applications.
Understand how variable names are constructed.
Navigate in the application structure.
Know where the glue logic or interlock logic for Groups needs to be
programmed.
11.3.3 Application and Variable Structure

For each Process Section one Application is created in the corresponding project. The
general rule is that one application is assigned to one specific Controller.
Some examples of Process Sections that can exist in a BMI application:

Cement Mill
Kiln
Cooler
Raw Mill
Bunker Transport
...
Course CH112
An Application consists of two major items:

Data Types
:
variable structure
Control Modules
:
application structure
11.3.3.1 Variable Structure

11.3.3.1.1 Data Types
The Data Types are used for the following purpose:
To set-up the variable structure (via structured data types)
To define all the variables that are going to be needed in the application
Every application consists of exactly one, global, structured variable. The name of this
variable must be IO and the data type is IO_Type.
IMPORTANT:
The attribute must be hidden.
Course CH112
In the Data Type IO_Type, all signal types are defined that are going to be needed in
the application.
I/O-signal types

connected to an input of an object, like an availability signal for a motor.
Digital Input Calculated. Signals that are going to be presented on the operator
station (as alarm and/or dynamic point in a graphic display) and that are the
result of a calculation or a control logic in the application.
The principle is the same for the following type of signals:

called Data Types.
Example 1:
All the variables for the digital input signals of the type DIS are defined in the Data
Type DIS_Type, in the corresponding application.
Variable

_211_GR1 are defined in the table _211_GR1 _Type.
Variable names for the

Preselections
General variables
for the Group
Variable names for the

Consumer Objects
Each Preselection contains a set of pre-defined sub variables, that are defined in the
Data Type PreBinData.
The Data Type PreBinData is defined in the library BMIStandard.
The principle is the same for all other objects that can be part of a group:
MOT1, MOT2, MOTP, MOT1_VVF : Motor objects
PIDCtrl
: PID Controllers
VLV1
: Valve objects
IMPORTANT:
Each object type (MOT1, MOT2,) has its corresponding set of pre-defined sub
variables that are defined in its object type specific Data Type, in the library
BMIStandard, which is password protected.
E.g.
MOT1 -> MOT1Data
MOT2 -> MOT2Data
VLV1 -> VLV1Data

11.3.3.1.2 Variable and tag naming

To be able to connect variables in the application, e.g. for interlock logic; the variable
structure and also the variable naming must be very well known.
? Question 1:
Tag name:
corresponds to the
object name that is
indicated on the
operator station.
Variable name:
corresponds to the
variable name of the
object in the Control
Builder.
You need to programm some interlocks for a motor object of the type MOT1
The tag name of the motor is 211-HC1.M1
The motor object belongs to Group _211_GR1 in application _20
The interlocks that need to be programmed are of the type IB2, IB3 and IB4
What are the complete variable names of the signals that you will connect to the
output of the functions / function blocks from your interlock logic:
Refer to the reference manual: BMI Library Consumer Objects
? Question 2:
You need to connect a digital input signal (DIS) to an input of an AND-gate in your
interlock logic for the motor 211-HC1.M1 (see question 1)
The tag name of the signal is 211-HX1.T1.L
The signal belongs to application _20

What is the complete variable name of the signal that you will connect to the input of
the AND-gate in your interlock logic:
Refer to the reference manual: BMI Library Basic Objects
The same principle is valid for all I/O-signals, Consumer Objects, etc

Course CH112
11.3.3.2 Application Structure

11.3.3.2.1 Control Modules
The Control Modules are used for the following purpose:
To set-up the application structure (via single control modules)
To create and configure the objects (basic objects, consumer objects, etc) that
belong to the corresponding application.
Remember the following from what we learned before:
- For each Process Section one Application is created in the corresponding project
- The general rule is that one application is assigned to one specific Controller
Single Control Modules (SCM), can be compared with a program, where several
objects (basic objects, consumer objects, etc) are grouped together and where
additional control and/or interlock logic can be programmed for these objects, if needed.
SCMs for process I/O-signals and

calculated I/O-signals.
For each type of I/O-signal
there is one SCM
SCMs for Group Objects. For

each Group there is one SCM.
17
Course CH112
11.3.3.2.2 Single Control Modules for I/O-signals

1. For each type of I/O-signal one Single Control Module (SCM) is created, as
shown below:
2. Under the corresponding SCM, instances of the corresponding Object Type are
created.
Example 1:
All instances for the digital input signals of the type DIS are created under the SCM,
which is called DIS.
For each DIS-Signal there is one

instance of the Object Type DIS
...
RULE:
The instance name must be the same as the variable name,
that was created in the Data Type DIS
Example 2:
All instances for the analog input signals of the type AIS are created under the SCM,
which is called AIS.
For each AIS-Signal there is one

instance of the Object Type AIS
...
RULE:
The instance name must be the same as the variable name,
that was created in the Data Type AIS
18
Course CH112
3. Each instance under the corresponding Single Control Module has to be configured
via the Parameter List, of that instance.
We also say, the parameters of the instance need to be connected.
Example 1:
Configuration of the digital input signal of the type DIS, which has the
tagname _211_2W1_G1_A

=> DIS Parameter Description
Parameters that have no Initial Value must be connected, otherwise an error indication will be shown,
in the Project Explorer.
Parameters that have an Initial Value can remain unconnected. If unconnected, the Initial Value is used
as the default connection instead.
The connection with the parameter IO, must be done. In this example the variable
IO.DIS._211_2W1_G1_A (structured variable) is connected to the parameter IO.
19
Course CH112
Example 2:
Configuration of the analog input signal of the type AIS which has the
tagname _211_HC1_J1_Z

=> AIS Parameter Description
Parameters that have no Initial Value must be connected, otherwise an error indication will be shown,
in the Project Explorer.
The connection with the parameter IO, must be done. In this example the variable
IO.AIS._211_HC1_J1_Z (structured variable) is connected to the parameter IO.
20
Course CH112
11.3.3.2.3 Single Control Modules for Group Objects

1. For each Group that belongs to a process section, one Single Control Module
(SCM) is created, as shown below:

- For each Process Section one Application is created in the corresponding project
- The general rule is that one application is assigned to one specific Controller
2. Under the corresponding SCM for a Group, instances of the Consumer Objects that
are member of that Group, are created.
Example 1:
Under the SCM _291_GR1, all the instances for all Consumer Objects , that belong
to the Group _291_GR1, are created.
This Group has the following instances:
- 1 instance for the GROUP object
- 2 preselection instances; PREBIN
- 2 motor instances, motors of the type MOT1
RULE:
The instance name must be the same as the variable
name, that was created in the corresponding Data Type
Example 2:
Under the SCM _291_GR2, all the instances for all Consumer Objects , that belong
to the Group _291_GR2, are created.
This Group has the following instances:

- 1 instance for the GROUP object
- 6 motor instances, motors of the type MOT1
RULE:
The instance name must be the same as the variable
name, that was created in the corresponding Data Type
21
Course CH112
3. Each instance under the corresponding Single Control Module for a Group has to be
configured via the Parameter List, of that instance.
We also say, the parameters of the instance need to be connected.
Example 1:
Configuration of the GROUP object, which has the tagname _291_GR1
Number of steps within the Group
Refer to the reference manual: BMI Library Group Objects

=> GROUP Parameter Description
22
Course CH112
Example 2:
Configuration of theMOT1 object, which has the tagname _291_BC3_M1
Motor is started first (1) and

stopped last (1001) within
the Group
Refer to the reference manual: BMI Library Consumer Objects

=> MOT1 Parameter Description
What do you remember from what we learned about Initial Value ?

11.3.3.2.4 Interlock (glue) logic for Group Objects

1. Basic sequential control (automatic sequential start-up and shut-down) of the
different consumer objects that belong to a group is performed by the GROUP
object.
No specific application programming is required for this, only the configuration of

the GROUP object and the CONSUMER objects, is required:
- For the GROUP object you need to configure the number of steps via the
parameter NoOfSteps
- For the CONSUMER objects you need to configure the start step and the stop
step via the parameters GrpStartStep and GrpStopStep
2. Interlocks between the different consumer objects are not handled by the GROUP
object, because they can be different from plant to plant.
The interlock logic is programmed on the Single Control Module level:
24
Course CH112
Different Code Blocks contain the necessary Glue or Interlock Logic.
One Code Block contains

the Pre-Selection Logic
(only if preselection is
available in the Group;
PREBIN objects)
One Code Block contains

the Interlock Logic for
the GROUP itself.
For each COMSUMER

object one Code Block
contains the corresponding
Interlock Logic
Naming convention of the Code Blocks:

Pre-Selection
PreSel_Control
Group interlocks
Intrl_<GROUP NAME>, e.g. Intrl_291_GR1
Consumer interlocks
Intrl_<OBJECT NAME>, e.g. Intrl_291_BC3_M1
25
Course CH112
11.3.4 Learn to understand the application and variable structure

To do:
You need to study the application _30 from the project BMI_Training:
How many GROUPs does this application have ?
What is the tag name and description of each GROUP ?
Now, You need to investigate all GROUPs in application _30, in detail:

How many OBJECTs does each application have ?
What is the object type, tag name and description of each OBJECT ?
Now, You need to investigate all I/O-signals in application _30, in detail:

How many Analog Inputs Signals are used in this application ?
How many Digital Input & Digital Output Signals are used in this application ?
Now, You need to investigate the interlock (glue) logic from the Group _361_GR2
in application _30, in detail:
What do You observe ?
Try to explain the interlocks between the different objects.

11.4 Lesson 3 Add I/O-signals and connect them in the application

11.4.1 Description
This lesson describes how to add and connect I/O-signals in an existing application.
11.4.2 Objectives
Add different type of I/O-signals in an existing application:
Connect the I/O-signals to I/O-modules
Connect the I/O-signals to existing control module instances or to interlock logic.
11.4.3 Type and categories of I/O-signals

Digital Input Signals, that are going to be presented on the operator station
(as alarm and/or dynamic point in a graphic display)
Digital Input Signals, that are NOT presented on the operator station
(only used in the application in the Control Builder). The signal is in general
connected to an input of an object, like an availability signal for a motor.
Digital Input Calculated. Signals that are going to be presented on the operator

result of a calculation or a control logic in the application.

AIS/AIX/AIC
: Analog input signals
DOS/DOX/DOC
: Digital output signals
AOS/AOX/AOC
: Analog output signals
Summarised we can say, that there are two major categories of I/O-signals, nl:
I/O-signals that are integrated with the operator station:
- DIS, AIS, DOS, AOS (process signals)
- DIC, AIC, DOC,AOC (calculated signals)
I/O-signals that are not integrated with the operator station:
- DIX, AIX, DOX, AOX (process signals)
27
Course CH112
11.4.3.1 Add I/O-signals that are not integrated with the operator station
1. Found out what type of signal needs to be added (AIX, DIX, DOX, AOX):
...
2. Open the corresponding Data Type under the corresponding Application
(remember what we learned before: one application for each process section)
and add a new component.
Example:
Adding a DIX-signal with the variable name _211_SX1_M1_OL in application _20.
(the signal indicates OverLoad of the motor _211_SX1_M1).
28

3. Now, connect the new signal to the corresponding Parameter of the corresponding
Control Module Instance.
Example:
Connect the new DIX-signal with the variable name _211_SX1_M1_OL to the
Parameter M2 (MCC interface signal 2, default Overload) of the motor instance
_211_SX1_M1, in application _20

What is the most efficient way to

connect the new signal ?
30
Course CH112
4. At last, the new signal must be connected, to the corresponding I/O-channel of the
corresponding I/O-module. The I/O-channel must be free, of course.
Example:
Connect the new DIX-signal with the variable name _211_SX1_M1_OL to a free
I/O-channel
In which controller do you need to search for a free Digital Input Channel ?

32
Course CH112
11.4.3.2 Add I/O-signals that are integrated with the operator station
1. Found out what type of signal needs to be added (AIS, AOS, DIS, DOS):
2. Open the corresponding Data Type under the corresponding Application

(remember what we learned before: one application for each process section)
and add a new component.
Example:
Adding a DIS-signal with the tag name 211-HX2.T1.LL in application _20.
(this signal indicates Oil Temperature of the heater very low).
33
Course CH112
The variable for new signal will be inserted after the variable _211_HX2_T1_L as
follows:
Variable
names
Why is the Data Type = DISData ?

modification.
The variable name is _211_HX2_T1_LL and the corresponding tag name is 211-HX2.T1.LL ?
Why is that ?
34
Course CH112
3. Now, a Control Module Instance of the type DIS has to be created.

Example:
Creation of a DIS Control Module Instance with the instance name
_211_HX2_T1_LL in application _20.
Select the Library

BMIStandard and the
Control module type DIS
from the window which
is appearing now:
? Uncheck the box Connect parameters. WHY ?
Type the Instance name:

RULE:
The instance name must be the same
as the variable name, that was created
in the Data Type DIS
35
Course CH112
After pressing OK, the Control Module Instance for the DIS-signal
211-HX2.T1.LL, has been created.
The red indication indicates that the Parameters that needs a connection (those that
have no Initial Value) are not connected, yet.
4. Now, the Control Module Instance has to be configured, via the Parameter List
(Connections).

5. Now, the new signal must be connected, to the corresponding Interlock Logic of
the corresponding Consumer Object.
Example:
Connect the new DIS-signal with the tag name 211-HX2.T1.LL to the interlock logic
of the Consumer Object 211-HC1.M2 in Group _211_GR1 in application _20.
Do you remember how to go to the interlock logic ?

6. At last, the new signal must be connected, to the corresponding I/O-channel of the
corresponding I/O-module. The I/O-channel must be free, of course.
Example:
Connect the new DIS-signal with the tag name _211_HX2_T1_LL to a free I/Ochannel
In which controller do you need to search for a free Digital Input Channel ?

11.5 Lesson 4 Insert a motor in an existing group

11.5.1 Description
This lesson describes how to insert a new motor in an existing group, via a practical
exercise, that is done as team work and that is guided by the teacher.
11.5.2 Objectives
Insert a new motor in an existing group
Create the I/O-signals for the motor and connect them to the motor object.
Program the interlock logic for the motor.
11.5.3 Procedure
The basic steps to be taken when inserting a new motor in an existing group are:
1. Creation of all variables that are going to be needed for the motor object and for its
corresponding I/O-signals.
2. Creation and configuration of the control module instances for the motor and for
the I/O-signals that are integrated with the operator station (e.g. Rope Switch).
3. Programmation of the interlock logic for the new motor.
4. Connection of the I/O-signal variables to the corresponding I/O-channels.
42
Course CH112
11.5.4 Practical exercise
A new motor must be inserted in the group 291_GR2 in application _20.
The tag name of the new motor is 291-BC4.M1
The new motor must start after the motor 291-BC1.M1 and before the motor
291-SC1.M1
The new motor has the following Digital Input signals:

Name
Functionailty
Remarks
291_BC4_M1_K
Availability

291_BC4_M1_R
Feedback Run
Feedback Run
291-BC4.AU
Emergency stop
291-BC4.X1
General alarm
291-BC4.D1
Drift switch
Signal to be shown individually on the operator

station, as a square and as an alarm.
The new motor has the following Digital Output signal:

Name
Functionailty
Remarks
291_BC4_M1_D
Start order
Output to contactor
43
Course CH112
11.5.4.1 Creation of variables

Create all the variables that are going to be needed for the motor object and for its
corresponding I/O-signals:
- for the motor object
- for the digital input signals
- for the digital output signal
Refer to what you learned in Lesson 2.

11.5.4.2 Creation and configuration of Control Module Instances
First, create the control module instances for the following objects:
- for the motor object
- for the digital input signals of type DIS
Then, configure the control module instances:
Take attention to the following:
- Tag name and Description of the motor object and the DIS-signals
- Start and stop step of the motor object
- Start and stop step of the other motor objects in the same Group.
Refer to what you learned in Lesson 2 and 3.

11.5.4.3 Programmation of interlock logic
To programm the interlock logic, you will need to insert a new code block in the
corresponding Group.
The following interlocks need to be programmed:
Tag name of DI-signal
Functionailty
Type of interlock
291-BC4.AU
Emergency stop
IC: Safety Interlock (process safety)
291-BC4.X1
General alarm
IB1-Interlock
291-BC4.D1
Drift switch
IB4-Interlock
To be able to do this you must very well understand the variable naming concept.
Refer to what you learned in Lesson 2 and 3.
44
Course CH112
11.5.4.4 Connection of I/O-variables to I/O-channels

To connect the variables of the I/O-signals to I/O-channels, you will first have to search
for free I/O-channels. If there are no free channels, you need to add a extra I/O-module.
Refer to what you learned in Lesson 3.
