another instrument) and then manipulated to fit the specific requirements of the loop. The common input
processing functions are:
Input Signal Conversion

Linear: No conversion.
Square root: 0.5% cutoff.
Pulse input: 0-10,000Hz.
Digital Filtering

OUTPUT SIGNAL PROCESSING

The previous page shows the signal flow through the output-processing portion of regulatory control
function blocks. After the signal has gone through the input processing and the control calculations (PID)
then it is ready for the output processing. The control calculation is limited by the output limiter and by the
velocity limiter before the signal is displayed as the MV of the instrument on the faceplate. From that point
the signal goes through a signal conversion, then to the output module, and then finally to the control
element.
Functions in the “Output Signal Processing Block” are:
Output Limiter:
Limits the function block’s output to the output module; this is displayed as the MH and ML on the tuning
panel.
Output Velocity Limiter:

This function limits the rate of change in the output to avoid output bumps.
Output Clamp:
Refers to the inability to move the MV above or below the preset output limits. It displays on the
instrument faceplate as CLP+ or CLP-.
Preset Manipulated Variable:

A preset MV (PMV) value can be specified for a function block then be activated by a sequence table
based upon predefined set of conditions in the process. The loop will be forced to MAN when this
function is used. The output can also be forced to 0% or 100% by a sequence table.
Output Tracking:
Output tracking function forces the MV of the control block to equal the value of the tracking input signal
(TIN) that is coming from an external source or the value of the output’s destination (Cascade
connection).
Output Signal Conversion:

Change the signal from analog to digital for ON/OFF control (depends upon the type of PID function block
created).
Analog Output:
The MV signal to the analog output module generates the 4-20 mA (or 1-5 Vdc) to the control device in the
field. The output has a function that makes the signal to the control device go to 106.25% on a full open
and -17.19% on a full close. The output of the loop can be reversed (20-4 mA or 5-1 Vdc).
-17.19% 0.00% 100.00% 106.25%

1.25 mA 4.00 mA 20.00 mA 21.00 mA

BATCH SET BLOCK (BSETU-2)

Another example of a regulatory control type instrument (Signal Setters) is the BSETU-2. This instrument
is used in batch control applications such as filling reactors; the fill rate and the shutoff rate can be
specified.
This instrument’s flow rate is setup by defining its scaling (shown as the “Scale high”).
• The bar on the faceplate shows the amount of product put into the vessel.
Some of the definable items on the Tuning Panel are:
• The “BSET” register shows amount of product to be put into the vessel. This also defines the scaling
on the faceplate.
• The time to open (TU) or close (TD) the control valve in seconds
• The point when the closing of the control valve should start is the “PLST” register. This number is the
amount subtracted from the BSET which determines the trigger point.
BSET = 2500
PLST = 200
Closing starts at “2300” (BSET-PLST) at the “TD” rate.
To start a BSETU-2
• The mode must be AUT.
• Command switch SW=1.

SIGNAL WIRING
Wiring on a Control Drawing is based upon the data type and the instrument type involved. There are
several different wiring types available for connecting instruments and the process. These different types
of wiring are:
Process Connection: Wiring to or from an I/O connection box. This tells which I/O point will be used for
the specific tag.
Terminal Connection: Connection between two connection terminals. As an example; from the “OUT” of
a PID instrument to “SET” of a secondary instrument in a cascade configuration. Check the FCS
configuration manual for all of the allowable terminal connections.
Data Referencing: A data item can be taken from one instrument and used in another function block. To
do this, the required data item will be named on the output of one block and connected to the IN (as an
example) of another block.
Data Setting: CS 3000 has software instruments that can be used to change certain data items or gather
data from within another function block. As an example of what can be changed: P, I, D, HH, HI, LO, LL,
MH, and ML.
• The specific tag number and data type to be changed is defined on the detail panel.
• The actual data to load is defined on the “Tuning Panel”.
Shown below is a reference chart to showing examples of some allowable connections. This does not
cover all possible combinations; please refer to the IM’s for specific detail.
Terminal Connectable Items
IN Input modules (%Z), Data types (PV, SV, MV, etc), Switches (SW-33, SW-91).
OUT Output modules (%Z), SET terminal (cascade), Switches (SW-33, SW-91).

Connections to the I/O modules is completed through the "Link
Block" on the control drawing. The address of the module
(%Zxxxxxx) or "User Defined Label" is entered into the box.
Inter/Intra FCS Process Data
Process data can be brought from one function block to another
by using the "AREAIN" and "AREAOUT" link blocks.
The "AREAIN" is used to bring process data from a function
block in the same FCS to the "IN" (or "SET" of a cascade loop).
The "AREAOUT" is used to bring process data from a function
block in a different FCS to the "IN" (or "SET" of a cascade loop).

CALCULATION FUNCTIONS
Calculation function blocks are used to support regulatory control and sequence control functions, and
provide general-purpose calculation functions for analog and contact signals.
Calculation blocks are divided into six types depending upon the kind of calculations they perform:
1. Arithmetic Calculation Blocks: Each arithmetic calculation has a fixed number of I/O points and fixed
calculation algorithm; it performs the basic arithmetic calculations for analog signals.
Examples of these are:
ADD MUL DIV AVE
2. Analog Calculation Blocks: Each analog calculation block has a fixed number of I/O points and fixed
calculation algorithm: it performs arithmetic calculation for analog signals.
SQRT Square root EXP Exponential block

LAG First order lag INTEG Integration block
RAMP Ramp block LD Derivative block
LDLAG Lead/lag block FUNC-VAR Variable line-segment function block
DLAY Dead time block TPCFL Temperature and pressure correction
AVE-M Moving average block AVE-C Cumulative average block
ASTM1 ASTM (Old JIS) ASTM-2 (New JIS)
3. Calculation Auxiliary 1 Blocks: These blocks have the various functions to assist the control
computation. Examples of these are:
SW-33 Three pole, 3-position switch.

DSW-16 Selector switch for 16 constant (numerical).
SW-91 One pole, 9 position switch.
DSW-16C Selector switch for 16 constant (character string).
DSET Data set block.
DSET-PVI Data set block with PVI.
4. Batch Data Blocks: These blocks have functions to assist the setting or gathering of batch data.
BDSET-1L One batch data set block.

BDSET-1C One batch data set block (character string).
BDSET-2L Two batch data set block.
BDSET-2C Two batch data set block (character string).
BDA-L Batch data acquisition
BDA-C Batch data acquisition (character string).
5. General Purpose Calculation Blocks: Each general-purpose calculation block has a fixed number of
I/O points and but allows the user to define the calculation algorithm. Examples of these are:
CALCU General Purpose calculation block

CALCU-C General Purpose calculation block with string I/O


”CALCU” FUNCTION BLOCK

The “CALCU” function block allows the user to create custom calculation to meet specific process needs.
The previous page shows this calculation:
1 program
2 alias A BL222-11.SH
3 alias B BL222-11.SL
4 alias Y FC222-11.SH
5 alias Z FC222-11.SL
6 float RANGE
7 RANGE = (Y-Z) / (A-B)
8 CPV = RV * RANGE
9 end
“Alias” allows a tag’s data item to be known by another name (i.e.: BL222-11.SH becomes “A”)
“Float” tells RANGE it will be floating-point data.
“CPV” is the calculated process variable to be output by this instrument (CL222-11).
“RV” is the data coming in through the “IN” terminal block after any input processing.
ON-LINE MANUAL
For more definition of the “CALCU” block, use the “On-line Manual”.
• Create the CALCU Block and, with it selected, click on the “Edit Function Block Detail” icon.
• When the calculation window appears, select “Help”, then “Builder Definition Items”.
• Maximize the on-line manual. On the left-hand side of the on-line manual page, select “Edit
Calculation Script” icon just beneath the “General-Purpose Calculations”.
• The menu at the right-hand side changes to display the different calculation data categories.


BATCH DATA SET BLOCK (BDSET-1L)

The batch data set block is used primarily in batch processes for adjusting parameters of control loops
based upon a product recipe. The BDSET has 16 registers that are accessible from the tuning panel of
the instrument.
Batch Data Set blocks can be used for changing the values of:
• Setpoint (SV)
• Manipulated variable (MV)
• Alarm trip points (HH, PH, PL, LL, etc.)
• P, I, or D
• Batch settings for BSETU (BSET)
From a sequence table, the BDSET-1L can download either individual registers or all registers at
once. An operator can download all registers at the same time.

REPORT PACKAGE
A report package option is provided that has pre-defined reports built in that run on Excel spreadsheets.
When the report package is opened the user can select from a list of pre-defined reports that fits a
specific need from “snap shots”, to shift and hourly reports, and reports that display trend data.
When a report type is selected, data will be entered in to the block fields for:
• Tag name.
• Tag data item.
• Computer name (or operator station) to get data from.
The report is then assigned a unique name and loaded into the report database.
Running a Report
The newly created report can be run from a programmable function key or by the operator station
scheduler function, if data is required at a specific time.

REGULATORY CONTROL EXERCISE 1

This exercise will allow the user to create a cascade PID control and connect the function blocks to the
appropriate I/O modules. The loops will then be tested in the “Test Mode”. You may have to refer to
previous chapters for more information!
Be aware that the amount of “step by step” direction will gradually decrease as you progress
through these exercises.
CREATING FUNCTION BLOCKS FOR EXERCISE 1

1. Bring up “System View” and go to project “STUDENTV”.
2. Click on “Function_Block” under FCS0101 and double click on “DR0001”, at the right hand side of
the builder, to open the drawing panel.
3. Select the “Function Block” icon and then click on the ”+” in front of “Regulatory Control Block”.
Next open “Controllers” from the expanded list and select “PID” from the next list that appears.
Select “OK” and then click on the Control Drawing Builder page to place the PID function block.
4. Define the function block #1 as:
• Tag name: TC222A
5. With the function block selected (green), click the right mouse button and select “Properties”. Change
the following items.
• Tag Comment: TEMP CONTROL
• Range: 50.0-300.0
• Engineering unit symbol: DEGF
• Lvl : 3
6. Click again on the panel to create another PID block, define the block as:
• Tag Name: FC222A
• Tag Comment: FLOW CONTROL
• Range: 0-500
• Engineering unit symbol: LB/H
• Totalizer Time Unit: “HOUR”
• Lvl: 3

7. Next the connection to I/O will be defined. Select the “Function Block” icon again, and then open
“Link Block”. Select “PIO” from the list that appears.
8. Click on the drawing panel to place the first and define it as “%%AIN-001”.
NOTE: This is the “Label” you created for “%Z011101” in the Analog IOM definition in the previous
chapter.
9. Click on the drawing panel again to place the second link block. Define it as “%%AOT-009”.
10. Place another link block on the page and define it as “%%AIN-002”.
11. Now the function blocks must be connected to the I/O’s. Click on the “Draw Wiring” icon to activate
that mode.
12. Click on an “X” on the “%%AIN-001” PIO box, the “X” will turn green. Double click on any of the “X’s”
on TC222A; notice the connection is automatically defined as “IN”. Where you started and where you
ended defined the direction of the signal flow.
13. Connect from “%%AIN-002” to FC222A.
14. Connect from FC222A to “%%AOT-009” to define the output.
15. For the “Cascade” connection, connect from TC222A to FC222A. Notice that the “OUT” of TC222A is
shown as going to the “IN” of FC222A. Move the pointer on top of the “IN” and hold the right-hand
mouse button, then select “Terminal Name”, “IO1”, and “SET”.
16. Click on “FC222A”, and then click on the “Edit Function Block Detail” icon. When the new window
opens, scroll down and make the “Measurement Tracking” “MAN Mode”, “Yes”.
17. Scroll down until “Fully-open, Tightly-shut” displays; change it to “No”.
• Normally the output is set at “–17.19”. In this class, this will make the loops get IOP (Input Open)
alarms because the loops have the output wired directly to the inputs. An output of –17.19%
would generate the IOP (when not in Test Mode) because it is below the alarm threshold.
18. Click on “File” and “Update” and then “exit”.
19. Save and, if there are no errors, exit from the control drawing builder.
Continuing the Exercise in Test Function Mode for “STUDENTV”

The test function allows the user to test FCS builder files without having an operational system. The
project’s name and FCS selected define which unit will be tested.
1. At the top of the “System View” window, select “FCS” and “Test Function”. Click on “OK” on the
next window to appear.
NOTE: As the test function starts the entire CENTUM VP screen now has a blue border, also an indication
of being in test mode of a user-defined project.
2. Wait until the “Test Function” window displays: “Completed Downloading Wiring” before
proceeding. (It takes approximately 2 minutes from when the test function is started). At the bottom of
the screen select the “Generation Message” icon to open its window. Click on the “Close” box.
3. Minimize the test function window after the download completes.

Open the “Test Function” window at the bottom of the screen, then select “Tools”, and then “Wiring
Editor”.
Now, select “File” and “Open”. When the new window appears, select the new drawing’s number and
“Open”.
Use the scroll bar to find “Lag” and enter “10” for both loops. Also make sure that “Bias” is 0.
Click on “File” and “Save”. Make sure your drawing is selected on the next window to open and click on
“OK”. NOTE: The “Wiring Editor” is only used for control drawings that are simulating process
connections. Using the “Lag” or “Delay”, as an example, you can simulate the process response for you
loops.
Displaying the Graphic Blocks

1. Under the STUDENTV Project, expand “HIS0164” and then highlight “Window”. Click on your right-
hand mouse button and select “Create New” and “Window” from the menus that appear. The
“Create New Window” builder window appears.
2. Select “Control (8 loop)” for the “Window Type” and change the “Window Name” to “TEMP-CTL”.
Now, click on “OK”.
3. “TEMP-CTL” now appears in the list of files under “Window”, double click on it to display the graphic
builder panel.
4. Click on the faceplate at the left-hand side to select it, now click your right-hand mouse button. When
the new menu appears, click on “Properties”.
5. Under Winforms Control, click on Property Page. Define the tag name as “TC222A” and click “OK”.
6. Now, click on the faceplate in position 2 and define its tag name as “FC222A”, and then “OK”.
7. Save and exit from this builder.
8. Minimize the “System View” window, and then click on “NAME” in the system message area. Enter
“TEMP-CTL”.
9. Click on TC222A, an arrow displays on its faceplate to show it is selected and open its “Tuning
Window”.
10. When the tuning panel appears, scroll over to display “P” and “I”. Select and change P=150 and I=5.
Now close this window. Make the same change to FC222A and then close its tuning panel.
11. On the window “TEMP-CTL”, put FC222A into “CAS”, and TC222A into “AUT”. Click on the box
beneath TC222A and set the “SV” to 125.
12. Change TC222A’s setpoint by clicking on the SV arrow, and use the ramping arrows in the box that
appears.
13. Put FC222A to “MAN” and ramp its MV up and down. What happened?
___Why?
14. Click on the “Clear All” icon in the “System Message Area”, and close the “Tool Box”.

REGULATORY CONTROL EXERCISE 2

The next exercise creates a level simulation where the user can define the tank level to be controlled by a
level controller or a “ramp generator” that has a ramping profile configured into it.
Display “System View” again and open “DR0002” under “FCS0101” for “STUDENTV”.
• This drawing shows the loops that will be created and the connections that will be made in this
exercise.

• Y01=5, Y02=15, Y03=15, Y04=35, Y05=35, Y06=25, Y07=25, Y08=10
Reminder: The “X” registers define time for “ZONES”. A zone is the time the output goes from the Y
register setting at the beginning of the zone to the Y register setting at the end of the zone.
• EXAMPLE: Zone #1 starts at X01 (time 0) and ends at X02. The output will ramp from 5 (Y01) to
15 (Y02) during that period.
9. Change PG222-11’s mode to “CAS” then close the tuning panel and return to “TANK5-CG”.
• NOTE: The PG-L13 uses the mode of “CAS” to continually run through its profile. When it is put
into the mode of “AUT” then it will run 1 time and then go to “MAN”.
10. Change XW222-11 switch position to “2” and watch the operation of FC222-11.
11. Change PG222-11’s mode to “MAN”, and then display its Tuning panel. What happened to the
output?
12. Change PG222-11’s mode back to “CAS” then display “TG0101” and watch the trend data change.
Saving the Tuning Parameters under “Test Function”

The tuning parameters, for a tag, are all of the changeable items on a tuning window at an engineering
level. When a project’s FCS is downloaded the last saved tuning parameters are the ones that are used.
1. Make sure all “Control Drawings” are closed.
2. On the “System View” window “Tools” and “Tuning Parameter Saving”.
3. When the “Tuning parameter save continuously” window, select the “Tuning Parameter Save” button.
4. Click “OK” on the next window that appears.
5. Close the both tuning parameter saving windows after the save has completed.
