2.2.1
CONTROL
Library location
The Control Module Types for basic objects and its corresponding Structured Data Types
are located in the library BMIStandard for Control Builder M Professional.
2.2.2
Control modes
The basic objects AO and DO have 2 different control modes Man and Auto. All modes
are selectable from the operator station or the superior application.
Man:
Object is controlled via On/Off commands for DOs and Set Value commands for AOs.
These commands are issued from the faceplate.
Auto:
Object is controlled by On/Off commands for DOs and Set Value commands for AOs.
These commands are issued from the superior application.
2.2.3
PCC, Interlock Bus (Process Control Connection)
2.2.3.1 PCC Bus concept

Using the unique PCC (Process Control Connection) concept input signal objects
(AIS/AIC and DIS/DIC) can propagate their state to the consumer object. Depending on
the configuration, signals may send interlock actions to the connected consumer without
using binary interlock code. In addition it is possible to link between faceplates of signals
and consumers as soon a PCC is available.
2.2.3.2 Basic Functions of PCC
Interlock configuration for connected consumers thru parameters on AIS/AIC and

DIS/DIC.
Connection of unlimited number of AIS and DIS to a Consumer Object or Group
Local Start override and Start Inhibit
Automatic first fault detection of signal causing an interlock. First fault is presented on
the Consumer Object and Group faceplates including a link button to the source signal
Link between AIS, AIC / DIS, DIC faceplates and to the consumer / group faceplate
Two direction Alarm Acknowledgement between AIS/DIS and Consumer / Group.
Typical use is the auto alarm-acknowledge while a Consumer Object is controlled in
Local.
Function Block PCC_Connect allows connecting two or more consumers or groups to
one AIS / DIS. In addition, this Function Block allows overwriting of the PCC
Alarm/Event enabling from the consumer for the connected AIS / DIS. For each
connected consumer an individual Interlock forwarding mask defines which interlocks
are blocked on a per limit basis if they are not desired.
Function Block PCC_ThresholdAND3 to handle complex interlocks. It allows defining
multiple custom conditions to be used as interlocks on the PCC bus.
PCC Status viewer for consumer and group objects
Automatic disabling of AIS / DIS alarming with the following option:
cBMI.Std_Type: 0

Motor is not running, NC Valve is closed, NO Valve is Open, for PCC connected to
Group: if Group is not started
cBMI.Std_Type: 1
Same as Std_Type 0 but always alarm on all Objects if Group is started and
Consumer preselected. In case object is standby preselected alarm priority is
automatically reduced from Failure to Warning.
PCCAEListFrcEn = true
Automatic alarm disabling switched off. This option shall be used in cases a signal
has to alarm independent from the status of its parent.
2.2.3.3 PCC Interlock Parameter Description
The following configuration options are applicable for AIC, AIS, DIC, DIS, PIDCtrl,
PCC_Intlk and PCC_Threshold_AND3.
IntlkType and IntlkDir are limit based configurations where as IntlkStartInhibit and
IntlkLocStartOverride are valid for all limits of the object.
Parameter Name
IntlkType
IntlkDir
IntlkStartInhibit
IntlkLocStartOverride
Description
- assigns the interlock to one of the interlock categories
- ready for start (RFS) configuration option to keep consumer ready
for group start even when interlock is present
- can be configured to start consumer in auto mode
- direction of interlock for two direction consumers
- Option to act only as start interlock
the interlocks are bypassed for the set time after the start of the
PCC parent (MOTx, VLVx)
Application example: bypass of rush in for motor current
Bypass interlocks in Local mode if LCBStart is continuously
pushed. All PCC parents need to be in LOC.
Application example: temporary bypass of drift switches for a belt
conveyor in local mode to align the belt
The possible configuration settings for Interlock Type are:

IntrlkType

Simulation Mode
It is possible to simulate DIS, AIS, DOS and AOS objects. Under simulation mode the
hardware error connection is not considered.
When set the simulation mode, the following is set as initial behaviour after a warm start.
Notice that it is the initial condition which can be changed afterwards.
AIS hardware connection (error condition) is not considered and the value
is set to 50% of the total range. Input is blocked. Notice that the input will
be blocked and the value will be set to 50% only in case of warm start.
DIS hardware connection is not considered and the value is set to the
normal position. Input is blocked. Notice that the value is simulated only in
case of warm start.
DOS and AOS hardware connections are not considered.

In case any of output objects (DOS and AOS) are connected to the
hardware all the changes to them will be written to the hardware.
For safety reason we advise to disconnect the Profibus, modulebus or any
other hardware interface.

AI Analogue Input
3.1
BASIC DESCRIPTION
The Control Module Types AIS and AIC are used to access and control an analog input.
AIS module is used to read one analog input signal, coming from the process
AIC module is used to write a calculated signal from the application, that is to be
indicated on the operator station and that will have alarm limit control.
The analog input module provides the following features:
Blocking and forcing of input value

Threshold detection and alarming on 4 alarm limit levels (L2,L1,H1,H2)
Threshold detection and eventing on 2 Process Limit levels (PLo, PHi)
Adjustable Low Pass Filter to create the FilteredSignal output.
FilteredSignal Rate of change calculation and alarm. The ROC is presented in % of
Total Range per second.
All Substatus for DP, PA and FF Field Devices will generate error control when quality
is Bad or Uncertain for AIS Control Module.
Common or Individual alarm delay for all 6 limits.
Alarm blocking (from faceplate). All alarm limit levels will be blocked.
Alarm disabling/enabling of each alarm limit individually (from application program /
Faceplate); generating events when blocked.
Single and Triple trend and automatic log configuration for:
FilteredSignal
IOSignal
RateofChange
Minerals Library Process Control Connection (PCC)
Parameterized interlocks towards parent objects
Advanced alarm disabling from parent objects
Interface to Process Panel
Additionally, the AIS Control Module has the following feature:

Signal Error pre-warning with adjustable alarm delay.

For AIC, use the Data type structure:

Write: IO.<TagName>.Signal.IOValue
Read: IO.<TagName>. FilteredSignal.Value
Interlock: IO.<TagName>.<Limit>.Normal
FilteredSignal is related to the Signal as follows:
y k = xk a + y k -1 (1 - a );a =
1
FilterTime 0.87
+1
DT
Which is equivalent to a 1st order low pass with t =
FilterTime
1.15
Note that the IO.FilteredSignal.Parameter Values are copied from

IO.Signal.Parameter on Application Start only. In case of changes in
Hardware Structure for the Channel where IO.Signal is connected,
Parameter Value can be different between these two Variables after
download to the Controller.

alarm, depending on the value, always but with different colours depending on value or
alarm condition.

3.3.3
Alarm & Event List
3.3.3.1 Object Status and Modes

Object status and modes are presented on the event list. When ever the object changes
its status or mode the complete information of the object at the time of the change is
logged in the event list.
The AIS and AIC object event message has a dynamic structure, this means that it can
change depending on the case you have.
The first case for eventing is when some limit value is changed for some limits from the
faceplate. In this case the structure for the event message is the following:
[LIMIT SHORT NAME] + Value: + [OLD VALUE] -> [NEW VALUE]
[LIMIT SHORT NAME]
L1
L2
H1
H2
PHi
PLo
Description
Low limit 1
Low limit 2
High limit 1
High limit 2
Process limit high
Process limit low
The OLD VALUE and NEW VALUE correspond exactly to the old and new value of the
limit.
The next case is when some limit is blocked from the faceplate. In this case the structure
for the event message is the following.
Limit Blk: + [LIMIT NAME]
[LIMIT NAME]
L1
L2
H1
H2
PHi
PLo
Description
Low limit 1 is blocked
Low limit 2 is blocked
High limit 1 is blocked
High limit 2 is blocked
Process limit high is blocked
Process limit low is blocked
The 3rd and last case of event messages in AIS and AIC is when we have a forced
condition for the MV value. In this case three types of messages are possible:
When the Forced flag is selected the message is:

FRC Value: [VALUE]
Where value is the actual value set for the MV value:
When the Forced selection is undone the message is:

FRC Deselected
Or when MV value is changed under forced condition, the message is:

FRC Value: [OLD VALUE] -> [NEW VALUE]
3.3.3.2 Alarm Messages

For the AIS and AIC we have basically 3 main conditions for the alarm messages

ROC (Rate of change)
Signal Error
Notice that Process Limit (PLo/PHi) does not create any alarm. The maximum
indication treatment for the Process Limit is 0 (event) as described in the parameter
description.
For the alarm limits (Limits H2, L2, H1 and L1) the message will always be:
[LIMIT TYPE]: [LIMIT VALUE]
[LIMIT TYPE]
L1

H1
H2
PHi
PLo
Description
Low limit 1 is reached
Low limit 2 is reached
High limit 1 is reached
High limit 2 is reached
Process limit high is reached
Process limit low is reached
Limit Value is the number defined over the Lim1 and Lim2 Tab for each Limit Type.
ROC is the rate of change for the MV values in a normal scale (0-100% of the total range).
It will create an alarm after the rate of change in seconds for the MV value is higher then
the one defined in the faceplate over the Lim2 tab.
When a ROC appears, the following message is shown in the alarm list:
ROC [ROC HIGH LIMIT]
Where the ROC HIGH LIMIT is the value set over Lim2 faceplate tab.
The signal error alarm is created every time a hardware failure which that analog input is
connected is encountered. If the configured Signal Error Delay Time is bigger than 0
seconds, a warning alarm will be sent immediately. The message for both, the warning
and the alarm, is defined as:

DI Digital Input
5.1
BASIC DESCRIPTION
The Control Module Type DIS and DIC are used to access and control a digital input.
DIS module is used to read one digital input signal, coming from the process
DIC module is used to write a calculated signal from the application, that is to be
indicated on the operator station and that will have alarm indication.
The digital input module provides the following features:
Blocking and forcing of input value

Alarming if input value differs from pre-defined (healthy; normal position) state
Warning delay time to generate a pre warning alarm or event before the main alarm
(failure) occurs.
Ready Delay time to hold the alarm position in order to prevent noisy signals to clear
and re-activate the alarm very often.
Alarm delay
Alarm blocking (from faceplate). All alarms and warnings will be blocked.
Alarm disabling/enabling (from application program)
On-Line trend with actual input value
Minerals Library Process Control Connection (PCC)
Parameterized interlocks towards parent objects
Advanced alarm disabling from parent objects

PCC Interlock Limitations

The Fast Interlock configuration Option is not supported by the DIC CM. If IntlkDir is
configured as Fast (e.g. DirXFast, DirXYFastnoAck) the Interlock will still be executed as
but without the Fast option, and the FPL will indicate PCC Param Error.
For explanation of the different configuration options see chapter PCC Interlock Parameter
Description.
Any Interlock defined by IntlkTypeWarning / IntlkDirWarning is only active

before the Alarm, while IO.PreWarning is false and IO.Signal.Normal is still
true (see 5.3.1 for a diagram).
This means that the PCC Parameter for Alarm should always be set to an
Interlock with priority equal or higher than the Interlock defined for Warning.

For the DIS and DIC, the following timing diagram shows the behaviour with Delays set:
AlarmDelay
SigHW.Value
WarnDelay
ReadyDelay
WarnDelay
not NormPos
t<ReadyDelay
ReadyDelay
NormPos
TRUE
Signal.Normal
FALSE
TRUE
IO.Prewarning
FALSE
The Alarm Condition is defined as SigHW.Value being different to NormPos. Warning

delay is the time between an Alarm Condition occurs until IO.Prewarning is set to true.
Alarm delay is the time between an Alarm Condition until the Alarm is generated and
Signal.Normal, used in the glue logic as Interlock to Consumers, becomes false.
Ready delay is the time to disable IO.Prewarning or set Signal.Normal to true after the
Alarm Condition has disappeared. Note that if the AlarmCondition comes back, the Ready
Delay Timer will be reset. In case this happens during Prewarning is set, the whole
AlarmDelay time will be needed to change Signal.Normal again.
Warning delay, alarm delay and ready delay can be set from the faceplate.
The NormPos is a parameter set thru Control Builder in order to define the normal position
for the signal, which means, the value of the signal that will not create any warning or
alarm.

Alarm & Event List

For eventing in DIS and DIC we have the in forced condtion case, which can be:
When the Forced flag is selected the message is:

FRC Value: [VALUE]
Where value is the actual value is the IO.SigHw.Value
When the Forced selection is undone the message is:

FRC Deselected
Or when IO.SigHW.Value value is changed under forced condition, the message

is:
FRC Value: [OLD VALUE] -> [NEW VALUE]

For the DIS, an alarm message is generated when the Signal.Value is different of
NormPos parameter and the AlarmDelay time is elapsed. Then the message is the
following:
[AETxt] + [Severity]
Where AETxt is a parameter defined over DIS parameters in the Control Builder and for
severity the text can also be changed but then over BMIConstAndVar constants,
depending on the severity.

DO Digital Output
6.1
BASIC DESCRIPTION
The Control Module Types DOS and DOC are used to access and control a digital output.
DOS module is used to control (write) one digital output process signal
DOC module is used to control (write) one digital output calculated signal, that is to be
indicated on the operator station and that will have no alarm indication.
The digital output module provides the following features:
Automatic control from a superior application
Manual control from the Operator Station (via the faceplate)
Tracking of mode and output changes
On-Line trend with actual output value shown in the faceplate.

PCC_Connect
8.1
BASIC DESCRIPTION
The Function Block Type PCC_Connect has the same function as the PCC_Connect_2 Block,
but it allows connecting up to 32 Consumers.
Furthermore it supports the PCC Interlock concept:
1. Interlocks by default forwarded to all connected Consumers
2. Individual Interlock forwarding mask for each consumer:
blocks interlocks if not desired for a specific consumer
blocking is limit based (DIS: Alarm/Warning; AIS: H2, H1, PHi, PLo, L1, L2)
3. Indication of blocked signals on PCC Bus forwarded to the consumer.

Note that Fast interlock is not executed in Fast Task in case the signal is
connected via a PCC_Connect, but the Interlock is still forwarded thru PCC Bus.
Fast interlocking is only supported for a DIS connected directly to the parent in
the same diagram.

Application Example
In the following example the oil pumps _561_LQ1_M1 and _561_LQ1_M2 or the oil heater
_561_LQ1_H1 should only be started if there is enough oil in the tank. The corresponding
level switch _561_LQ1_L1 is configured as an IB_Equipment interlock. Thru a
PCCComData variable the DIS is connected to the PCC_Connect. Because the interlock
should be defined for all 3 consumers, the IntrlkMask Transparent is used for all of them.
The same example made by CDE graphical representation.

PCC_Threshold_AND3
Basic Description
The Function Block Type PCC_Threshold_AND3 allows handling of complex interlocks.
Drive Condition (DriveCond) or main condition, which also acts as PCC interlock
according to the configuration, consists of up to 9 sub conditions. Each of these sub
conditions consists of 3 conditions itself.
Level parameter defines how many of the sub conditions (SubCond) need to be
fulfilled for the DriveCond to be fulfilled.
Equal defines if the fulfilled number must exactly match Level or if it can be equal and
also higher.
Indication of blocked signals on PCC Bus forwarded to the consumer.

DriveCond =
SubCond1 or

Application Example
In the following example pump _561_LQ1_M1 or _561_LQ1_M2 must be running for the
ball mill _561_BM1_M1 to start/run. This precondition is a safety issue and therefore is
configured as Safety interlock (IC).
The run signals for both pumps are used, each as a sub condition. With Level = 1 the
interlock is ok as soon as 1 pump runs. Because Equal = false also a two pump running
situation is ok.

PCC_Intlk
10.1 BASIC DESCRIPTION

PCC_Intlk is a simple State or Summary Block for the PCC Bus. It acts both as Child with
a single PCC Interlock to a Drive or Group connected to the PCC Output as well as a PCC
Parent to Signals connected to its IO Variable. It is also possible to use the Block to add a
single Interlock Signal to PCC via the ExtIntlk Boolean Input.
Blocking of the Interlock
Interlock Delay for an overall Delay on the Interlock
Ready Delay Time
