PID_MR/ PID_SR Cascade Controller (Master/Slave) This control standard function provides cascade control requirements (combination of Master PID and a slave PID). The master controller is normally in Auto mode with the setpoint provided by the Operator while the slave controller is in Cascade mode where the output of the master controller is used as the setpoint of the slave controller. The output of the master controller is automatically converted into the setpoint range of the slave controller. This control standard function / strategy consist of following modules. Control module: PID_MR (The master PID), this control module has no Analogue output channel. Control module: PID_SR (The slave PID), the mode of the PID function block is set to "Cascade mode" in this strategy. The OP parameter of the Master PIDA function block is used as the setpoint SP of the slave PIDA function block. If the slave control Module is not in Cascade mode, the output of the Master PIDA function block is initialized from the Slave PIDA SP parameter value.

The functions of each block are; AI_PID_MR: Analogue Input I/O. These function blocks provide a standard interface to the Process in the field for the control modules. The IO module and channel are assigned to each Input/output function block separately. It brings PV data from an associated IOM block and also assigns BAD status to PV parameter when appropriate. AI_PID_SR: Analogue Input I/O. These function blocks provide a standard interface to the Process in the field for the control modules. The IO module and channel are assigned to each Input/output function block separately. It brings PV data from an associated IOM block and also assigns BAD status to PV parameter when appropriate. AO_PID_SR: Analogue Output I/O to the final control element. If the OP parameter of the PID function block is used to control an electrically connected analogue field device, it must be connected to an Analogue Output function block. If the Analogue Output block is not in Cascade mode, the output of the PID function block is initialized from the Analogue Output OP parameter value. If the Analogue Output OP is not disposable (it does have an effect on the control strategy), its value is initialized to that of the upstream input to which it is connected. The PID function block sets the Anti-Reset Windup Output (ARWOP) flag to indicate if the OP can be raised or lowered. The anti-reset windup network input, ARWNETIN, can be used to additively prevent output raising and lowering. DACA: This is the data acquisition function block (DATAACQ) used to present Analogue information and alarming. The DACA block is used as the interface for the analogue input. It generates various alarms (Bad PV, PVHH, PV, PV, PVLL etc...) based on the configuration. DCS_AI_Maint: Used to implement Hand symbol display on the HMI, receives PVSource input from DACA function block. FLAGA: Used to activate the Safety Interlock. FLAGC: Used to activate Maintenance Inhibit.

FLAGB: Maintenance Inhibit status flag. PIDA: Regulatory control block that operates as a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. Accepts 2 Analogue inputs -- process variable (PV) and set point (SP); produces output calculated to reduce the difference between PV and SP. Provides anti-windup protection, control initialization and override feedback processing. The PIDA of the Master controller provides the SP to the PIDA of the slave controller.
