Title Basic Objects
1 SUMMARY
This document contains a detailed description of the following Basic Objects:
·AI (Analog Input)
·AO (Analog Output)
·DI (Digital Input)
·DO (Digital Output)
Additionally, four PCC specific Function Blocks and Control Modules are described
·PCC_Connect_2
·PCC_Connect
·PCC_Threshold_AND3
·PCC_Intlk
2 COMMON DATA
2.1 BASIC DESCRIPTION

Basic Objects provide access and control for process IO-signals and calculated IO-signals
from the ABB System 800xA operator workplace.
All basic objects have the following common basic functions:
· Tracking of control mode and status changes on the Operator station
· Operator Station Interface (graphic element and faceplate) including detailed alarm
and interlock indications.
Title Basic Objects
2.2 CONTROL
2.2.1 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 DO’s and Set Value commands for AO’s.
These commands are issued from the faceplate.
Auto:
Object is controlled by On/Off commands for DO’s and Set Value commands for AO’s.
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
Title Basic Objects
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 Description

IntlkType - 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
IntlkDir - direction of interlock for two direction consumers
- Option to act only as start interlock
IntlkStartInhibit 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
IntlkLocStartOverride 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 Description
Configuration Option
PCC_Disabled No alarm or interlock forwarding on PCC bus
No_Interlock No interlock forwarding, only alarm forwarding
PD_PrevDrive Previous drive interlock, group remains ready for start
IA_Process Process interlock
If the consumer is in Auto mode the IA interlock is not reset again
on the ok condition. It is only reset by an Auto_Start command from
another PCC limit or signal.
IA_Process_RFS Process interlock, group remains ready for start
Same functionality in Auto as described above.
IB_Equipment Equipment interlock
IB_Equipment_RFS Equipment interlock, group remains ready for start
IC_Safety Safety interlock
IC_Safety_RFS Safety interlock, group remains ready for start
Title Basic Objects
Auto_Start Only used if consumer is in Auto mode: removes retained IA

interlock if it is not active anymore and thus the drive will start
(IO.In.IA also needs to be ok)
The possible configuration settings for Interlock Direction are:

IntlkDir Description
DirX Configured interlock is only valid for direction X
DirXStart Same as DirX, but once the consumer is running in direction X (or
has reached end position X) the interlock is disregarded.
DirY Configured interlock is only valid for direction Y
DirYStart Same as DirY, but once the consumer is running in direction Y (or
has reached end position Y) the interlock is disregarded.
DirXY Configured interlock is valid for direction X and Y
DirXYStart Same as DirXY, but once the consumer is running in direction X/Y
(or has reached end position X/Y) the interlock is disregarded.
DirFBX Configured interlock is dynamic feedback (like FB1 in MOT1) for
direction X.
IO.Out.RunX or PosX will only become active if condition is fulfilled.
It can be used for additional limit switches [MOTP], speed-,
pressure, flow-switch with advantage of prewarning, alarm and
ready delay.
DirFBY Configured interlock to handle as dynamic feedback (like FB1 in
MOT2) for direction Y.
IO.Out.RunY or PosY will only become active if condition is fulfilled.
ready delay.
DirFBXY Configured interlock to handle as dynamic feedback for direction
X/Y.
IO.Out.RunX/Y or PosX/Y will only become active if condition is
fulfilled.
ready delay.
DirXFast Configured interlock to execute action in fast task for direction X.
Applicable for stop at position for MOT2, middle position stop for
MOTP and the other application where fast stop is required.
DirYFast Configured interlock to execute action in fast task for direction Y.
DirXYFast Configured interlock to execute action in fast task for direction X/Y.

2.2.4 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.

Title Basic Objects
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:

1
y k = xk a + y k -1 (1 - a );a =
FilterTime × 0.87

DT
FilterTime
Which is equivalent to a 1st order low pass with t =
1.15
Note that the IO.FilteredSignal.Parameter Values are copied from the

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

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] Description
L1 Low limit 1
L2 Low limit 2
H1 High limit 1
H2 High limit 2
PHi Process limit high
PLo 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] Description
L1 Low limit 1 is blocked
L2 Low limit 2 is blocked
H1 High limit 1 is blocked
H2 High limit 2 is blocked
PHi Process limit high is blocked
PLo 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
§ Limit H2 or L2
§ Limit H1 or L1
Title Basic Objects
§ ROC (Rate of change)

§ Signal Error
F 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] Description
L1 Low limit 1 is reached
L2 Low limit 2 is reached
H1 High limit 1 is reached
H2 High limit 2 is reached
PHi Process limit high is reached
PLo 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:
SigErr

4 AO Analogue Output

The Control Module Types AOS and AOC are used to access and control an analogue
output.
· AOS module is used to control (write) one analogue output process signal
· AOC module is used to control (write) one analogue output calculated signal, that is
to be indicated on the operator station and that will have no alarm limit control.
The analog 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
· Output limitation high/low
· On-Line trend with actual output value shown in the faceplate.
· All Substatus for IO and FF Filed Device will generate error control when quality is
Bad or Uncertain for AOS Control Module
· Process Panel Interface

5 DI Digital Input

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

5.2.6 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.
Title Basic Objects
5.3 OPERATION
5.3.1 Time Diagram

For the DIS and DIC, the following timing diagram shows the behaviour with Delays set:
AlarmDelay not NormPos
SigHW.Value WarnDelay ReadyDelay WarnDelay 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.

Param Error” will be displayed.
Title Basic Objects

IO.SigHW.Value and IO.SigHW.Forced, these are not set on IntPar Variables.
Title Basic Objects

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.

· overwrite the Warning / Failure state to the Basic Object if needed
This Block is Obsolete and should not be used in new Projects.

PCC Interlocks are not forwarded to the consumers. For the full PCC functionality,
PCC_Connect should be used as a direct replacement for PCC_Connect_2.

7.3.1 PCC Parent Link

The Function Block contains one Graphic Element that links to all connected PCC
Consumer / Group Objects. As this Element is linked from the signals connected to the
PCCOut Bus, it allows to trace all connections in case a signal is connected to more than
one parent.
Title Basic Objects
8 PCC_Connect

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.

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.
