1 Introduction
Blocks are software subroutines that are included in the tasks to be run in the controller.
Within the ToolboxST* application, the connections are accomplished graphically using
pins and wires to form a data flow diagram. The blocks run in the order listed in the task.
The connections between the blocks are RAM memory elements through which data is
passed. These elements are referred to as variables. Each variable has a defined data type
and must be connected to pins of the same data type. Some block pins accept multiple
data types and others are capable of converting from one data type to another.
Each block entry in the library consists of the following:
• Block name and category

• Block description
• Block diagram
• Pin definitions
• Application notes (optional)
Each block has a full name and a simple name. The full name is descriptive and too long
to display in a block diagram. For this reason, all blocks have a simple name. The simple
name is displayed in the ToolboxST application.
Floating point (REAL and LREAL) values conform to IEEE® 754. The standard defines
certain computational exceptions that may produce non-standard results, such as divide by
zero. These non-standard values include infinities and Not a Numbers (NaNs), which, if
used in subsequent calculations, produce additional non-standard results. The software
has been designed to prevent the production and proliferation of such values. Function
block descriptions may include additional details concerning floating point exception
handling where needed.
Block Libraries also contain rubber blocks, which are sized according to the number of
pins used. Within the library, the blocks are grouped functionally to simplify the task of
converting ideas into blocks. For example, the Controller Monitor (CTRLR_MON) block
is a member of the System category.
Pin names are given modifiers A graphical representation of the software for each block is provided in the form of a
that provide additional block diagram that includes the simple block name and block configuration pins and
information about the pin. variable pins, which transfer data in and out of the block. The pins are located on the
block diagram according to their usage. All input pins (pins read by the block) and block
configuration pins are listed on the left. All output pins (pins written by the block) and
state pins (pins read and written by the block) are listed on the right. The pin name is
listed beside each pin inside the block diagram border.

Block Data Type
The Block Data Type is set in The pin data type identifier is listed beside the pin outside of the block diagram border.
the block Property Editor. The basic data types used in the block libraries are BOOL, INT, UINT, REAL, LREAL,
DINT and UDINT. Blocks with data types ANY_NUM and ANY must have the Block
Data Type set to match the intended data type of the block output.
Note The default value of Boolean inputs is False unless the input is a block Enable, in
which case the default is True and the default value of inputs with data types INT, UINT,
DINT, UDINT, REAL and LREAL is 0, until otherwise specified.
The block content provides tables to define the input and output pins. Each entry includes
the block name for the variable, basic data type, typical scaling units, and a description of
the variable. Typical scaling units are supplied for reference only; specific applications
may use other scaling units as appropriate.

2 Analog Input (AI)
Block Category: AI, Analog Operations
This block should only be used The Analog Input (AI) block is used for the following purposes:
with Analog I/O (including
Modbus Ethernet • Instantiates the status variable into the system
communications). • Monitors analog I/O point health, engineering unit range violations, and process limit
violations and propagates that information through the output status variable
• I/O scaling when a linear scale or flow extraction is required
ToolboxST Configuration
The AI_TYPE enumeration controls the method of I/O scaling to be performed. The
values are described as follows:
DIRECT requires the inputs IN, EU_MAX, and EU_MIN. The value of IN is transferred
to OUT without modification. OUT is only calculated if IN is greater than the low cutout,
IN_LCO. If IN is less than IN_LCO, then OUT equals EU_MIN.
Where Lag is First-order lag Filter, the lag time constant is expressed in seconds by
TC. The transfer function of the filter is of the form 1 / (1 + TCs).
INDIRECT_SCL requires the inputs IN, EU_MAX, EU_MIN, IN_H_SCL, and IN_L_
SCL. The block calculates OUT by linearly scaling IN based on these inputs. OUT is only
calculated if IN is greater than the low cutout, IN_LCO. If IN is less than IN_LCO, then
OUT equals EU_MIN. If IN < IN_L_SCL then IN is clamped to IN_L_SCL and the OUT
is to EU_MIN.
INDIRECT_SQRT requires the inputs IN, EU_MAX, EU_MIN, IN_H_SCL, IN_L_

SCL, and IN_LCO. OUT is the calculated flow for non-compressible fluids through a
differential head flow meter. IN_H_SCL is the maximum design DP and IN_L_SCL is
the minimum design DP. EU_MAX is the maximum design flow and EU_MIN is the
minimum design flow. OUT is only calculated if IN is greater than the low cutout, IN_
LCO. If IN is less than IN_LCO, then OUT equals EU_MIN. If IN < IN_L_SCL then IN
is clamped to IN_L_SCL and the OUT is set EU_MIN.

STATUS CALCULATION
The AI block monitors the I/O point health, I/O pack health, EGD link status,
engineering unit range violations, and process limit range violations to calculate the
output status for an I/O point. The block begins the status calculation by obtaining the
health status of the input specified. The status output provides the instantaneous status
of the variable input. A Healthy value on the status output implies a Healthy input pin.
All Ethernet communication links have a bit error rate, so occasional loss of a single
EGD packet on an Ethernet network is considered normal and expected. The status will
become Uncertain for the configured health delay period before becoming Unhealthy.
A period refers to the time between consecutive transmissions of the variable. For most
variables from I/O packs, the period corresponds to the frame rate, although certain I/O
packs such as PSCA do not always transmit at frame rate. For variables that derive
their health from the health of a received EGD page from another controller, the period
depends on the frame rate of the transmitting source and the associated page period
multiplier. From the ToolboxST application, select the EGD tab to view Period
information. For detailed timing information refer to the section, Output Health Status
Details . Refer to GEI-100682, Mark VIe Controller Standard Block Library, the Status
Monitoring (STATUS_MONITORING) block.
The output status is generated using the following rules:
• If an input pin has a value of NaN (Not a Number), the output status is set to
NOT_LIMITED__BAD [0], [1], or [2].
• If the Page health and point health is Uncertain, the output status will not exceed
NOT_LIMITED__LAST_KNOWN_VALUE__UNCERTAIN [68]. Page health
refers to the health of the I/O pack, IONet EGD, or EGD link OK status associated
with the input point.
• If the Page health is bad, the output status will not exceed NOT_LIMITED__NO_
COMM_WITH_NO_USABLE_VALUE__BAD [24].
• If the Page health is Healthy or Uncertain, but Point health is not Healthy, the
output status will not exceed NOT_LIMITED__SENSOR_FAILURE__BAD [16].
In this case, Point health refers to the health of the I/O pack point status associated
with the input point.
• If the type, AI_TYPE, is unknown or if the scaling is such that the maximum is
less than the minimum, the output status is limited to NOT_LIMITED__
CONFIGURATION_ERROR__BAD [4].
• If the output is out of PROCESS LIMIT when limit checking is enabled, that is,
PROC_LIM = True, the output status is limited to NOT_LIMITED__
UNCERTAIN [64].
• If the output is out of OUTPUT SCALE limits, the output status is limited to
NOT_LIMITED__ENGINEERING_UNIT_RANGE_VIOLATION__
UNCERTAIN [84].
• If none of these conditions exists, NOT_LIMITED-GOODNC [128] will be the
output status.

When an AI block is inserted into the application code, the ToolboxST application
displays the following window.
Changing Default Attributes

Refer to the table, Global When the user clicks OK, the block and pin connections will be configured automatically.
Variable. Once the block is added, a global pin is added. The block output is the value of the Device
Attribute Name, 00AI1000. Additionally, the description, AI Description in this example,
becomes the block output description. The FormatSp Attribute Name Value, TempFS, is
the format specification of the block output. If a valid format specification attribute is
entered, the Engineering Maximum and Engineering Minimum values of that format
specification are used to calculate OUT and determine engineering unit violations. If no
format specification attribute is entered or is invalid, the values of EU_MAX and
EU_MIN pins are used to calculate OUT and determine engineering unit violations. All
references to EU_MAX and EU_MIN in this section are based on this concept.

Analog Alarm Configuration
To configure analog alarms on a variable, the Alarm Property must be configured for that
variable. This enables the configuration of BQ (Bad Quality), RH (Rate of change high),
DH (High Deviation), H, HH, HHH (or 3H), L, LL, and LLL (or 3L).
Note AnalogAlarmDefault should be used when a variable is to be used as an alarm.

Enabling this turns on more options for this variable in the Alarms and Events Property
Editor.
Enabling Analog Alarms on a Variable
Additional Options in Alarms and Events Property Editor

➢ To enable the H Alarm: in the property grid, set the H property to True to add the
variables displayed in the following figure to the variable list.
H Variables
H_SP is the setpoint for the High alarm on the variable. H_T is the delay time (in ms).
When the comparison between the setpoint and the value is done, it waits H_T
milliseconds before issuing the alarm. HYST is the Hysteresis of the alarm values. Set the
initial values to effectively use them. 00AI1000.H is the actual variable name that
generates the alarm.
Output Health Status Details
For I/O pack variable sources, the AI output status goes bad during the first period, in
which the controller receives an indication from the I/O pack that the variable is bad. It
will go Uncertain the first period in which the controller does not receive the variable, as
follows:
• For a network with simplex redundancy, the AI output status goes Uncertain after the
loss of the only input data packet for the health delay period before becoming bad.
• For a network with dual redundancy, the AI output status goes Uncertain after the
loss of both input data packets for the health delay period before becoming bad.
• For a network with TMR redundancy, the AI output status goes Uncertain after the
loss of the second input data packet for one period before becoming bad.
This Unhealthy status could be caused by a communication failure with the I/O pack or
by the I/O pack's determination that the signal is Unhealthy based on conditions specific
to that type of I/O pack and input.
For external network/EGD page sources, including variables received over the Unit Data
Highway (UDH) or Control Data Highway (CDH) using EGD pages, the AI output status
on the AI block for an input variable does not go Unhealthy after the loss of a single input
data packet containing that variable. Instead, the corresponding AI status output goes
Unhealthy during the fourth Unhealthy period. Since EGD pages may be configured to
run at different rates, the health of the variable is verified once each period as configured
for that EGD exchange. Each time an EGD exchange is received, the associated input
variables in that exchange are set to Healthy status and a timeout timer for that exchange
is set to four. The timeout timer is then decremented each time the configured time
interval occurs. If the timeout timer reaches zero, all input variables in that exchange are
set with an Unhealthy status and the counter remains at zero until the EGD exchange is
successfully received again.
I/O points transition from Unhealthy to Healthy the first frame they are received Healthy
from the I/O module.
Note For input health information to be viewable in a live data display, for example in
Live View, Trender, or the blockware editor, the input must be connected to either a
VAR_HEALTH or AI block.

Single Network I/O Pack Input Response to Loss of Input
When a network input on an I/O pack is no longer received, the input is marked Uncertain
and the value holds the previous Healthy input state for the configured base health delay
number of periods. After this, the value is set to the default value and marked Unhealthy.

3 Analog Output (AO)
Block Category: AO, Analog Operations
The Analog Output (AO) block monitors and propagates the quality status of analog
output variables connected to CV and/or SV. When the output variable statuses are not
bad, the value and status of TRK_OUT is equal to the value and status of IN. If AO_
TYPE equals SPLIT RANGE, AO outputs CV, SV, and TRK_OUT. If AO_TYPE equals
NORMAL, AO outputs CV and TRK_OUT.
AO Block
CV and SV are characterized outputs with a POP feature enabled by default. The
characterization of IN to CV and IN to SV is determined by the array value relationships
for CV_X to CV_Y and SV_X to SV_Y, respectively. CV_X, CV_Y, SV_X, and SV_Y
are Local array type variables with 13 elements each; whose initial values can be
modified for characterization purposes. The POP feature is designed to provide a valve
closing hysteresis loop. This prevents a control valve from throttling on the valve seat,
reducing control valve wear. In the decreasing direction, the feature does not allow CV to
become less than the value of CL until the characterized value of IN becomes less than
CR. When the characterized value of IN becomes less than CR, CV is set to CMN. In the
increasing direction, CV remains equal to CMN until the characterized value of IN
becomes greater than the value of CL. Once the characterized value of IN is greater than
CL, CV will POP to the value of CL and CV will follow the characterized value of IN as
long as it is above CL. The POP feature is enabled when CL>CR>CMN and disabled
when CL=CR=CMN, where CMN is the control variable minimum desired output value.
This POP concept also applies to SV by setting the values of SL, SR and SMN.
Note The CMN and SMN must be greater than or equal to the first element of the array.
AO_TYPE enumerations control the nature of the pins available.
AO_TYPE Enumerations
Enumeration Description
NORMAL Normal - single output
SPLIT_RANGE Split range - two outputs
NORMAL — requires inputs IN, CL, CMN, CR, CV_X and CV_Y and provides outputs
CV and TRK_OUT.
SPLIT RANGE — requires inputs IN, CL, CMN, CR, CV_X, CV_Y, SL, SMN, SR,
SV_X and SV_Y, and provides outputs CV,SV, and TRK_OUT.

Reverse Characterization
The AO block propagates quality status. Status option cannot be disabled on this block.
Block status modifications:

The analog output variables attached to CV and SV are monitored for quality status, resulting in the following possible
TRK_OUT statuses:
• I/O Pack Health Failed – NOT_LIMITED-DEVICE_FAILURE-BAD [12]

• I/O Pack Health Failed – NOT_LIMITED-SENSOR_FAILURE-BAD [16]
• If none of the above conditions exist, it is equal to IN status

4 Analog Step Drum (ASTEPDRUM)
Block Category: ASTEPDRUM, Analog Operations
The Analog Step Drum (ASTEPDRUM) block is a software drum controller with one
analog output value and up to 32 steps (if 2OUT = False), or two analog output values
and up to 16 steps each (if 2OUT = True). The output selected is based on the current step
number and its corresponding N value(s).
The maximum number of steps is initialized with NMAX (up to 32 when 2OUT = False,
up to 16 when 2OUT = True).
In tracking mode (TRK_MOD is True), the current step number, STEP, is equal to TRK_
STEP. If TRK_STEP is equal to zero or greater than NMAX, the selecting mode TRK_
MOD is ignored and the block switches to Manual mode. MN_REJ becomes True.
In Manual mode (TRK_MOD = False), the selected step is increased or decreased (with
each False to True transition of INC or DEC). If the step number is equal to the maximum
number of steps, NMAX, then the next transition of INC will cause the step number to
reset to one. If the current step number is equal to one, then all transitions of DEC will be
ignored. If INC and DEC transition from False to True on the same scan, then the current
step is maintained.
Note This is a variant block that supports any one the following block data types:
Integer, Double Integer, Real, Long Real, Unsigned Integer, Unsigned Double Integer.
The default data type is REAL. Refer to the section, Changing Data Type of a Variant
Block.

5 Breaker (BREAKER)
Block Category: BREAKER, Device Control
Note Legacy Status — The BREAKER block is not supported for use in new Mark
VIe control systems (ControlST software suite V05.02 or later). It is in place to support
the maintenance of legacy Mark VIe control systems (prior to ControlST software suite
V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the BREAKER_V2 block; it provides
equivalent functionality.
The Breaker (BREAKER) block controls a low-voltage (LV) or medium-voltage (MV)

breaker. The block provides pulse outputs, OP_ORD, to open, or CL_ORD, to close the
breaker. The block requires the inputs OPEN and CLOSED from the limit switches of the
breaker. The block will generate a failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_A, a failed-to-close
alarm, FL_CL_A, and a limit switch congruency alarm, CONGR_A, that alarms when the
breaker limit switches indicate that the breaker is open and closed at the same time or if
neither position is indicated.
The BREAKER block has various enumerations that are used to control block operation.
Control (CTL) is an enumeration set by the HMI operator for breaker control. The
commands available from the HMI allow manual and automatic breaker control capability
and/or lockout capability if the block property MODE_OPT enumeration selected allows
the auto and/or lock mode. The breaker may be opened or closed in Manual mode by the
OPEN_CMD or CLOSE_CMD commands, respectively.
MODE_OPT Enumerations
Enumeration Command Definitions
NO_CMD No command
AUTO_CMD Auto command

MANUAL_CMD Manual command
LOCK_CMD Lock command
UNLOCK_CMD Unlock command
OPEN_CMD Open command
CLOSE_CMD Close command
RESET_CMD Fault reset command
TC_RESET_CMD TC reset command

Block Property Enumerations and Functionality
Refer to the section, Appendix IO_OPT, MODE_OPT, and IO_MON enumerations control how the object behaves. For
for a complete list of possible example, if the breaker has control power and available inputs, fuse monitoring, and has
combinations. the capability for auto and lockout operation, the IO_OPT selection is CP_OK-AVAIL,
MODE_OPT is AUTO-LOCK, and IO_MON is FUSE.
IO_OPT enumerations are as follows:
IO_OPT Enumerations (Short List)

None No capabilities are available
CP_OK Breaker has a hard-wired control power monitoring input.
REM Breaker has a hard-wired remote/local input
AVAIL Breaker has hard-wired available input. "Ready to go indicator"
PR_TRP Breaker has a hard-wired protection trip capability. There is a protective relay controlling the
breaker
RCKD_IN Breaker has a hard-wired racked-in detection input. It can detect when it is physically connected
to the bus
TRIP_ONLY No breaker close capability; can only trip the breaker, can't close it.
NONE — when IO_OPT is none, then inputs CP_OK, AVAIL, PR_TRP, RCKD_IN,
REM and TRIP_ONLY are not used.
CP_OK — select for a breaker that provides a control power monitoring IO capability.
When the CP_OK enumeration is selected, the output CP_OK_P is True. The Boolean
control power monitoring connection is to the CP_OK input of the block and is True
when no control power failure is detected. When the CP_OK input is False, the control
power failure alarm, CP_F_A, is activated. If the breaker is in AUTO mode and the
duration of CP_F _A being True has exceeded the PWR_FL_TMR, the breaker will
switch to Manual mode and the manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated,
(delayed by 2 seconds).
AVAIL — select for a breaker that require an available capability. When the AVAIL
enumeration is selected, the output AVAIL_P is True. The Boolean available connection is
to the AVAIL input of the block and is True when the breaker is available. When AVAIL
is False, the available alarm, AVAIL_A, is activated. If the starter is in AUTO mode and
the duration of AVAIL_A being True has exceeded the PWR_FL_TMR, the breaker will
PR_TRP — select for a breaker that has protection trip capability. When the PR_TRP
enumeration is selected, the output PR_TRP_P is True. The Boolean protection trip input
is connected to the PR_TRP input and is False when no breaker trip is detected. When
PR_TRP is True, the protection trip alarm, PR_TR_A, is activated. If the breaker is in
AUTO mode and PR_TRP_P is True, the breaker will switch to Manual mode and the
manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by 2 seconds).
REM— select for a breaker that has remote/local capability. When the REM enumeration
is selected, the output REM_P is True. The Boolean remote/local connection is to the
REMOTE input of the block and is True when the breaker is in remote mode. When
REMOTE is False, the output LOCAL is True and breaker control from the HMI is
disabled. If the breaker is in AUTO mode and LOCAL becomes True and the breaker will

RCKD_IN — select for a breaker that has a racked-in detection capability. When the
RCKD_IN enumeration is selected, the output RCKD_IN _P is True. The Boolean
racked-in connection is to the RCKD_IN input of the block and is True when the breaker
is racked-in. When RCKD_IN is False, the racked-out alarm, RCKD_OT, is activated. If
the breaker is in AUTO mode and the duration of RCKD_OT being True has exceeded
the PWR_FL_TMR, the breaker will switch to Manual mode and the manual reject alarm,
MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by 2 seconds).
TRIP_ONLY — select for a breaker which does not have a remote breaker close
capability. When the TRIP_ONLY enumeration is selected, the output TRIP_ONLY _P is
True. If TRIP_ONLY_P is True, the breaker can only be commanded open remotely by
the OPEN_CMD enumeration, and the breaker close command, enumeration CLOSE_
CMD, is disabled.
MODE_OPT enumerations are as follows:
Enumeration Mode Option Description
NONE None
AUTO Auto
LOCK Lock
AUTO-LOCK Auto and lock
BK_OP Breaker open
AUTO-BK_OP Auto and breaker open
LOCK-BK_OP Lock an breaker open
AUTO-LOCK-BK_OP Auto and lock and breaker open
Refer to GEH-6721_Vol_II, NONE — if TRIP_ONLY _P is False, the breaker can be opened or closed manually by

enabled. When AUTO_P is True the breaker can be commanded to auto by either CTL
enumeration AUTO_CMD or a rising edge on AU_SEL providing PMT_AU is True. The
HMI operator may command the breaker from Auto to Manual mode at any time with the
CTL enumeration, MANUAL_CMD.
PMT_AU is described in the When AUTO is True, the AU_OP and AU_CL inputs control the automatic opening and

Note The lockout indication is provided for indication only. This action will not lockout
the equipment, it will only indicate lockout status. The owner's lockout procedures must
be followed to safely lock equipment out.

BK_OP — provides a alarm when the breaker is open. Selecting the BK_OP mode
property will set BK_OP _P to True. When BK_OP_P is True and OPEN is True, the
breaker alarm, BK_OP_A, is activated.
IO_MON enumerations are digital output monitor types. Monitoring is only available for
the outputs OP_ORD and CL_ORD (if TRIP_ONLY_P is False). If the hardware card
used with OP_ORD and CL_ORD can perform diagnostic monitoring, IO_MON is used
to select the type of diagnostic monitoring. When diagnostic monitoring is used (FUSE or
VOLT), the diagnostic variable from the OP_ORD output is connected to RDY_OPN and
the diagnostic variable for the CL_ORD (if TRIP_ONLY_P is False) is connected to
RDY_CLS. IO_MON enumerations are as follows:
IO_MON Enumerations
Enumeration Monitor Option Description
NONE None
FUSE Fuse Monitoring

VOLT Voltage Monitoring
NONE — no circuit monitoring is available RDY_OPN and RDY_CLS inputs are not
used.
FUSE — fuse monitoring determines the breaker circuit failure. If FUSE is selected,
FUSE_MON_P is True. The fuse monitoring card points provide fuse status to the block.
These points are connected to RDY_OPN and RDY_CLS inputs. If there is a fuse failure,
RDY_OPN and RDY_CLS will become False. The block requires these inputs to be True
for normal operation. If RDY_OPN or RDY_CLS become False,OP_FLR or CL_FLR
become True, respectively. When OP_FLR or CL_FLR becomes True, PMT_CL and
PMT_OP are False and PMT_AU, becomes False, delayed by PWR_FL_TMR. If AUTO
is True when this occurs, AUTO will become False and the manual reject alarm, MN_
REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by 2 seconds). Note, to prevent an unwanted
automatic switch from Auto to Manual mode, for example, an Automatic bus transfer or
Power supply transfer, the power supply transfer time should not exceed PWR_FL_TMR.
If the power supply transfer time exceeds the PWR_FL_TMR, the breaker will transfer
from Auto to Manual mode and MN_REJ_A, will be activated.
VOLT — voltage monitoring determines the valve circuit failure. If VOLT is selected.
VOLT_MON_P is True. The Boolean voltage monitoring input is True when there is no
voltage failure and is connected to the RDY_OPN and RDY_CL inputs.
When OP_FLR becomes True, PMT_CL, becomes False and PMT_AU becomes False,
delayed by PWR_FL_TMR.
• RDY_OPN is False
• OP_ORD is False
• CP_OK is True (if the IO_OPT, enumeration CP_OK is selected)
• REMOTE is True (if the IO_OPT, enumeration REM is selected)
• RCKD_IN is True (if the IO_OPT, enumeration RCKD_IN is selected)
• OPEN is False
• TK is False
• AVAIL is True (if the IO_OPT, enumeration AVAIL is selected)

CL_FLR is True, (delayed by 2 seconds), when the following conditions exist:
• RDY_CLS is False
• CL_ORD is False
• CLOSE is False
• TK is False
• TRIP_ONLY_P is False
When CL_FLR becomes True, PMT_CL, becomes False and PMT_AU becomes False,
If AUTO is True when CL_FLR or OP_FLR occurs, AUTO will become False and the
manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by 2 seconds). Note, to
prevent an unwanted automatic switch to Manual mode, in case of an Automatic bus
transfer or Power supply transfer, the power supply transfer time should not exceed
PWR_FL_TMR. If the power supply transfer time exceeds the PWR_FL_TMR, the
breaker will transfer from Auto to Manual mode and MN_REJ_A, will be activated.

Override Control
The block provides override control using a Trip Override input enumeration, TRP_OVR,
and a Manual Reject input enumeration, MN_REJ. The possible values for these
enumerations are provided in the following table.
MN_REJ and TRP_OVR Enumerations

Enumeration Override Option Description
NO_OVR-NO-BLOCK No override and no override is blocked
OVR-NO_BLOCK Override active and no override is blocked
NO_OVR-BLOCK No override and a override is blocked
OVR-BLOCK Override active and a override is blocked
When TRP_OVR indicates Override Active, the breaker prevented from closing in any
mode. The breaker is rejected to manual when either TRP_OVR or MN_REJ indicate
Override Active and the manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by
2 seconds).
TRP_OVR and MN_REJ (if used) are driven from an Override (OVERRIDE) block. Each
connected input of the OVERRIDE block has the ability (when enabled) to be blocked by
the HMI operator, which is accessed from associated tab of the permit HMI screen
display. When TRP_OVR or MN_REJ enumeration contains BLOCK, the HMI operator
has blocked at least one override. BREAKER does not use the block information, but
passes it to the HMI for display.
Force Control
The block provides the force enumerations Force Open input, OP_FRC, and Force Close
input, CL_FRC. The possible values are provided in the following table.
CL_FRC and OP_FRC Enumerations

Enumeration Force Option Description
NO_FORCE-NO-BLOCK No force and no force is blocked
FORCE-NO_BLOCK Force active and no force is blocked
NO_FORCE-BLOCK No force and a force is blocked
FORCE-BLOCK Force active and a force is blocked
OP_FRC or CL_FRC force the breaker open or close in any mode except when an TRP_
OVR indicates Override Active. The breaker does not reject to manual if a close occurs.
OP_FRC and CL_FRC (if used) are driven from a Force (FORCE) block. Each connected
input of the FORCE block has the ability (when enabled) to be blocked by the HMI
operator, which is accessed from associated tab of the permit HMI screen display. When
OP_FRC or CL_FRC enumeration contains BLOCK, the HMI operator has blocked at
least one force. BREAKER does not use the block information, but passes it to the HMI
for display.

Auto/Open/Close Permissives
If FL_CL_A is False, the block provides the permissive input Auto, Close, and Open
Permit enumerations AU_PMT, OP_PMT, and CL_PMT. The possible values are
provided in the following table.
AU_PMT, CL_PMT, and OP_PMT Enumerations

Enumeration Permit Option Description
NO_PERM-NO-BYPASS No permit and no permit is bypassed
PERM-NO_BYPASS Permit ok and no permit is bypassed
NO_PERM-BYPASS No permit and a permit is bypassed
PERM-BYPASS Permit ok and A permit is bypassed
The permit inputs, AU_PMT, OP_PMT, and CL_PMT, combine with internal permissives
to generate PMT_AU, PMT_OP, and PMT_CL, permitted indications.
PMT_AU is True when the following conditions exist:
• AU_PMT indicates Permit OK

• MN_REJ indicates No Override
• FL_OP_A is False
• FL_CL_A is False
• TRIPPED is False
• REMOTE is True (if REM_P is True)
• LOCK is False (if LOCK_P is True)
• OP_FLR, CL_FLR, RCKD_OT, AVAIL_A, CP_F_A is False (or the duration of
being True has not exceeded the PWR_FL_TMR)
• TRP_OVR indicates no override
If the BREAKER block is in Auto mode and any of the above conditions (except AU_
PMT) do not meet this criteria, the breaker will be placed to Manual mode (that is the
outputs, AUTO and PMT_AU are set to False) and the manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A,
will be activated.
PMT_OP is True when the following conditions exist:
• OP_PMT indicates Permit OK

• TK is False

PMT_CL is True when the following conditions exist:
• CL_PMT indicates Permit OK

• RCKD_IN is True (if RCKD_IN_P is True)
• CL_FLR is False
• OP_FLR is False
• CP_OK is True (if CP_OK_P is True)
• TRP_OVR indicates No Override
• PR_TRP is False
• AVAIL is True (if AVAIL_P is True)
• TK is False
• OP_FRC indicates No Force
Permissives AU_PMT, OP_PMT, and CL_PMT (if used) are driven from a Permit
(PERMIT) block. Each connected input of the PERMIT block has the ability (when
enabled) to be bypassed by the HMI operator, which is accessed from associated tab of
the permit HMI screen display. When AU_PMT, OP_PMT, or CL_PMT enumeration
contains BYPASS, the HMI operator has bypassed at least one permit. The BREAKER
block does not use the bypass information, but passes it to the HMI for display.

Diagnostic Alarms
If the breaker fails to open or close in the time specified by the fail-to-open time,
FL_OP_T, or fail-to-close time, FL_CL_T, the BREAKER block will generate a
failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_A or a failed-to-close alarm, FL_CL_A. These alarms (as
well as the TRIPPED alarm) may be reset when FAULT_RESET is True or if the CTL
enumeration equals RESET_CMD.
The BREAKER block has a limit switch congruency alarm, CONGR_A, that generates
alarms when the breaker limit switches indicate the breaker is open (OPEN is True) and
closed (CLOSED is True) at the same time. The CONGR_A alarm may be reset when the
condition causing the alarm is cleared.
The output, FAULT, is True when a fault is detected. FAULT limit is True when any of
the following condition exists:
• FL_OP_A is True
• FL_CL_A is True
• OP_FLR is True
• CL_FLR is True
• CONGR_A is True
• CP_F_A is True
• PR_TRP is True
• AVAIL_A is True
• RCKD_IN is False
• TRIPPED is True
Counter (CRT) block output is the count of the number of times the CLOSED input has
transitioned to True. The counter may be reset when the CTL enumeration equals TC_
RESET_CMD.
Push-button Status
The BREAKER block push-button status output, PBSTATE, indicates the last HMI
operator initiated CTL enumeration OPEN_CMD or CLOSE_ CMD command.
PBSTATE is True if the last CTL enumeration was CLOSE_CMD.

Operating Mode (MODE) is an output that defines the block-operating mode. The
enumerations are as follows:

6 Breaker_Version 2 (BREAKER_V2)
Block Category: BREAKER_V2, Device Control
The Breaker_Version 2 (BREAKER_V2) block controls a low-voltage (LV) or
medium-voltage (MV) breaker. The block provides pulse outputs, OP_ORD, to open, or
CL_ORD, to close the breaker. The block requires the inputs OPEN and CLOSED from
the limit switches of the breaker. The block will generate a failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_
A, a failed-to-close alarm, FL_CL_A, and a limit switch congruency alarm, CONGR_A,
that alarms when the breaker limit switches indicate that the breaker is open and closed at
the same time, or if neither position is indicated.
This block has various enumerations that are used to control block operation.
Control (CTL) is an enumeration set by the HMI operator for breaker control. The
commands available from the HMI allow manual and automatic breaker control capability
the auto and/or lock mode. The breaker may be opened or closed in Manual mode by the
OPEN_CMD or CLOSE_CMD commands, respectively. The command enumerations are
defined in the following table.
CTL Enumerations
Enumeration Command Definitions
NO_CMD No command

TC_RESET_CMD TC reset command

Block Property Enumerations and Functionality
IO_OPT, MODE_OPT, and IO_MON enumerations control how the object behaves. For
example, if the breaker has control power and available inputs, fuse monitoring, and has
the capability for auto and lockout operation, the IO_OPT selection is CP_OK-AVAIL,
MODE_OPT is AUTO-LOCK, and IO_MON is FUSE.
IO_OPT enumerations are as follows:
IO_OPT Enumerations (Short List)

CP_OK Hard-wired control power monitoring input
REM Hard-wired remote/local input
AVAIL Hard-wired available input (Ready to Go indicator)
PR_TRP Hard-wired protection trip capability — there is a protective relay controlling the
breaker
RCKD_IN Hard-wired racked-in detection input that can detect when it is physically connected to
the bus
TRIP_ONLY No close capability; can only trip the breaker, but can't close it
Refer to the section, Appendix NONE — when IO_OPT is none, CP_OK, AVAIL, PR_TRP, RCKD_IN, REM and
for a list of all possible TRIP_ONLY inputs are not used.
combinations. CP_OK — select for a breaker that provides a control power monitoring IO capability.
When the CP_OK enumeration is selected, the output CP_OK_P is True. The Boolean
control power monitoring connection is to the CP_OK input of the block and is True
when no control power failure is detected. When the CP_OK input is False, the control
power failure alarm, CP_F_A, is activated. If the breaker is in AUTO mode and the
duration of CP_F _A being True has exceeded the PWR_FL_TMR, the breaker will
AVAIL — select for a breaker that require an available capability. When the AVAIL
to the AVAIL input of the block and is True when the breaker is available. When AVAIL
is False, the available alarm, AVAIL_A, is activated. If the starter is in AUTO mode and
the duration of AVAIL_A being True has exceeded the PWR_FL_TMR, the breaker will
PR_TRP — select for a breaker that has protection trip capability. When the PR_TRP
is connected to the PR_TRP input and is False when no breaker trip is detected. When
PR_TRP is True, the protection trip alarm, PR_TR_A, is activated. If the breaker is in
AUTO mode and PR_TRP_P is True, the breaker will switch to Manual mode and the
REM — select for a breaker that has remote/local capability. When the REM
enumeration is selected, the output REM_P is True. The Boolean remote/local connection
is to the REMOTE input of the block and is True when the breaker is in remote mode.
When REMOTE is False, the output LOCAL is True and breaker control from the HMI is
disabled. If the breaker is in AUTO mode and LOCAL becomes True and the breaker will

RCKD_IN — select for a breaker that has a racked-in detection capability. When the
racked-in connection is to the RCKD_IN input of the block and is True when the breaker
is racked-in. When RCKD_IN is False, the racked-out alarm, RCKD_OT, is activated. If
the breaker is in AUTO mode and the duration of RCKD_OT being True has exceeded
the PWR_FL_TMR, the breaker will switch to Manual mode and the manual reject alarm,
MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by 2 seconds).
TRIP_ONLY — select for a breaker which does not have a remote breaker close
capability. When the TRIP_ONLY enumeration is selected, the output TRIP_ONLY _P is
True. If TRIP_ONLY_P is True, the breaker can only be commanded open remotely by
the OPEN_CMD enumeration, and the breaker close command, enumeration CLOSE_
CMD, is disabled.
Mode Option (MODE_OPT) options available are as follows:
NONE None
AUTO Auto
LOCK Lock
AUTO-LOCK Auto and lock
BK_OP Breaker open
AUTO-BK_OP Auto and breaker open
LOCK-BK_OP Lock and breaker open
AUTO-LOCK-BK_OP Auto and lock and breaker open
NONE — if TRIP_ONLY _P is False, the breaker can be opened or closed manually by

the HMI operator.
PMT_AU is described in the AUTO — provides auto control capability for the breaker. Selecting the AUTO mode

HMI operator may command the breaker from Auto to Manual mode at any time with the
CTL enumeration MANUAL_CMD.
When AUTO is True, the AU_OP and AU_CL inputs control the automatic opening and
closing of the breaker, provided, PMT_OP or PMT_CL, respectively, is True. If AU_OP
or AU_SEL become True, the breaker is in Manual mode, and the breaker position is not
in the state of the requested command, the auto request alarm, AU_REQ, will be
activated. If AU_CL become True, TRIP_ONLY_P is False, the breaker is in Manual
mode, and the breaker position is not closed, the auto request alarm, AU_REQ, will be
activated.
The Lock button can also be LOCK — provides software lock-out capability for the breaker. Selecting the LOCK

BK_OP — enables an alarm when the breaker is open. Selecting the BK_OP mode
property will set BK_OP _P to True. When BK_OP_P is True and OPEN is True, the
breaker alarm, BK_OP_A, is activated.
Refer to GEH-6721_Vol_II, IO_MON enumerations are digital output monitor types. Monitoring is only available for
Mark VIe Control, Volume II the outputs OP_ORD and CL_ORD (if TRIP_ONLY_P is False). If the hardware card
System Hardware Guide. used with OP_ORD and CL_ORD can perform diagnostic monitoring, IO_MON is used
to select the type of diagnostic monitoring. When diagnostic monitoring is used (FUSE or
VOLT), the diagnostic variable from the OP_ORD output is connected to RDY_OPN and
the diagnostic variable for the CL_ORD (if TRIP_ONLY_P is False) is connected to
RDY_CLS.
IO_MON Enumerations
NONE None
FUSE Fuse Monitoring

VOLT Voltage Monitoring
NONE — no circuit monitoring is available RDY_OPN and RDY_CLS inputs are not
used.
FUSE — fuse monitoring determines the breaker circuit failure. If FUSE is selected,
These points are connected to RDY_OPN and RDY_CLS inputs. If there is a fuse failure,
RDY_OPN and RDY_CLS will become False. The block requires these inputs to be True
for normal operation. If RDY_OPN or RDY_CLS become False, OP_FLR or CL_FLR
become True, respectively. When OP_FLR or CL_FLR becomes True, PMT_CL and
PMT_OP are False and PMT_AU, becomes False, delayed by PWR_FL_TMR. If AUTO
is True when this occurs, AUTO will become False and the manual reject alarm, MN_
REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by 2 seconds). Note, to prevent an unwanted
automatic switch from Auto to Manual mode, for example, an Automatic bus transfer or
If the power supply transfer time exceeds the PWR_FL_TMR, the breaker will transfer
from Auto to Manual mode and MN_REJ_A, will be activated.
VOLT — voltage monitoring determines the valve circuit failure. If VOLT is selected

• RDY_OPN is False
• OP_ORD is False
• OPEN is False
• TK is False

• RDY_CLS is False
• CL_ORD is False
• CLOSE is False
• TK is False
• TRIP_ONLY_P is False
When CL_FLR becomes True, PMT_CL, becomes False and PMT_AU becomes False,
If AUTO is True when CL_FLR or OP_FLR occurs, AUTO will become False and the
manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by 2 seconds). Note, to
prevent an unwanted automatic switch to Manual mode, in case of an Automatic bus
transfer or Power supply transfer, the power supply transfer time should not exceed
PWR_FL_TMR. If the power supply transfer time exceeds the PWR_FL_TMR, the
breaker will transfer from Auto to Manual mode and MN_REJ_A, will be activated.

Override Control
The block provides override control through a Trip Override input enumeration,
TRP_OVR, and a Manual Reject input enumeration, MN_REJ. The possible values are
MN_REJ and TRP_OVR Enumerations

When TRP_OVR indicates Override Active, the breaker is prevented from closing in any
mode. The breaker is rejected to manual when either TRP_OVR or MN_REJ indicate
2 seconds).
TRP_OVR and MN_REJ (if used) are driven from an Override (OVERRIDE) block. Each
connected input of the OVERRIDE block has the ability (when enabled) to be blocked by
display. When TRP_OVR or MN_REJ enumeration contains BLOCK, the HMI operator
has blocked at least one override. BREAKER does not use the block information, but
Force Control
The BREAKER block provides force control through a force open input, OP_FRC, and
force close input, CL_FRC. The possible values are provided in the following table.
CL_FRC and OP_FRC Enumerations

OP_FRC or CL_FRC force the breaker open or close in any mode except when an TRP_
OVR indicates Override Active. The breaker does not reject to manual if a close occurs.
OP_FRC and CL_FRC (if used) are driven from a Force (FORCE) block. Each connected
input of the FORCE block has the ability (when enabled) to be blocked by the HMI
OP_FRC or CL_FRC enumeration contains BLOCK, the HMI operator has blocked at
least one force. BREAKER_V2 does not use the block information, but passes it to the
HMI for display.

When FL_CL_A is False, the block provides permissive input enumerations AU_PMT,
OP_PMT, and CL_PMT. The possible values are provided in the following table.

Enumeration Permit Description
PERM-BYPASS Permit ok and A permit is bypassed

• OP_FLR, CL_FLR, RCKD_OT, AVAIL_A, CP_F_A is False (or the duration of
being True has not exceeded the PWR_FL_TMR)
If the breaker is in Auto mode and any of these conditions (except AU_PMT do not meet
this criteria, the breaker will be placed to Manual mode (that is the outputs, AUTO and
PMT_AU are set to False) and the manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated.
• OP_PMT indicates Permit OK

• TK is False
• CL_PMT indicates Permit OK

• RCKD_IN is True (if RCKD_IN_P is True)
• CL_FLR is False
• OP_FLR is False

• PR_TRP is False
• TK is False
AU_PMT, OP_PMT, and CL_PMT (if used) are driven from a Permit (PERMIT) block.
Each connected input of the PERMIT block has the ability (when enabled) to be bypassed
by the HMI operator, which is accessed from associated tab of the permit HMI screen
display. When AU_PMTOP_PMT, or CL_PMT enumeration contains BYPASS, the HMI
operator has bypassed at least one permit. BREAKER_V2 does not use the bypass
information, but passes it to the HMI for display.
Diagnostic Alarms
Failed-to-open alarm (FL_OP_A)/ Failed-to-close alarm (FL_CL_A) — if the breaker
fails to open or close in the time specified by the fail-to-open time (FL_OP_T) or
fail-to-close time (FL_CL_T), the block will generate a failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_A,
or a failed-to-close alarm, FL_CL_A. These alarms (as well as a TRIPPED alarm) may be
reset when FAULT_RESET is True or if the CTL enumeration equals RESET_CMD.
Congruency Alarm (CONGR_A) — a limit switch congruency alarm that alarms when
the breaker limit switches indicate the breaker is open (OPEN is True), and closed
(CLOSED is True), at the same time. The CONGR_A alarm may be reset when the
condition causing the alarm is cleared.
The output, FAULT, is True when a fault is detected. FAULT limit is True when any of
the following condition exists:
• FL_OP_A is True
• FL_CL_A is True
• OP_FLR is True
• CL_FLR is True
• CONGR_A is True
• CP_F_A is True
• PR_TRP is True
• AVAIL_A is True
• RCKD_IN is False
• TRIPPED is True

Counter (CTR) — the block output CTR is the count of the number of times the
CLOSED input has transitioned to True. The counter may be reset when the CTL
enumeration equals TC_RESET_CMD.
Push-button Status (PBSTATE) — the BREAKER_V2 block push-button status output,
PBSTATE, indicateS the last HMI operator initiated CTL enumeration OPEN_CMD or
CLOSE_ CMD command. PBSTATE is True if the last CTL enumeration was CLOSE_
CMD.
Operating Mode (MODE) output defines the block-operating mode. The operating mode
enumerations are defined in the following table.

7 Convert (CONVERT)
Block Category: CONVERT, Equations and Conversions
The Convert (CONVERT) block converts the units of the input to the desired output
units. The conversion type is chosen with the functions NUM, DENOM1 and DENOM2.
The default value of NUM, DENOM1, and DENOM2 is NOT_USED (unity). If
DENOM1 and DENOM2 are used, they will be multiplied together. For example, to
convert 70 °F/(lb x sec) to °C/(kg x min), use the following equation:
IN = 70 (°F/(lb x sec))
NUM = °F_°C (conversion function from °F to °C)
DENOM1 = lb_kg (conversion function from lb to kg)
DENOM2 = sec_min (conversion function from sec to min)
OUT=2793.21 (°C/(kg x min))
Note This is a variant block that supports any one the following block data types: Real,
Long Real. The default data type is REAL. To modify the data type, refer to the section,
Changing Data Type of a Variant Block.

This block propagates quality status if the status operations are enabled.
Block status modification: If the input value exceeds the conversion boundary conditions, such as negative distance, weight
or negative absolute temperature (-4°K), the output status will be set to NOT_LIMITED-CONFIGURATION_
ERROR-BAD [4].

8 Digital Step Drum (DSTEPDRUM)
Block Category: DSTEPDRUM, Boolean Operations
The Digital Step Drum (DSTEPDRUM) algorithm block is a software drum controller
with up to 32 digital output values and up to 32 steps. Each of the 32 steps is assigned an
integer step value. Depending on the step number selected, the block converts the
corresponding integer into a binary format and outputs the bits to the corresponding
Boolean outputs. The number of Boolean outputs is selected by adding addition output
pin groups.

If the integer value of the selected step cannot be represented by the number of Boolean
outputs, all the outputs are set to False for that step. For example, if OUT1 through OUT4
are selected (valid step value range, 0 to15), N1 = 16 and STEP = 1, then all outputs are
set to False. The maximum number of steps is initialized with NMAX (1<NMAX≤32).
In tracking mode (TRK_MOD = True), the current step number, STEP, is tracked to a
selected step, TRK_STEP. If TRK_STEP is equal to zero or greater than NMAX, the
selecting mode TRK_MOD is ignored and the block switches to Manual mode and MN_
REJ becomes True.

In Manual mode (TRK_MOD = False), the selected step is increased or decreased (with
each False to True transition of INC or DEC). If the step number is equal to the maximum
number of steps, NMAX, then the next transition of INC will cause the step number to
reset to one. If the current step number is equal to one, then all transitions of DEC will be
ignored. If INC and DEC transition from False to True on the same scan, then the current
step is maintained.

9 Dual Select (DUALSEL)
Block Category: DUALSEL, Analog Operations
Note Legacy Status — The DUALSEL block is not supported for use in new Mark
V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the DUALSEL_V2 block; it provides
The Dual Select (DUALSEL) block transfers the average, minimum, or maximum of two
analog signals to output ({Device}). The user can disable one transmitter. If one
transmitter is disabled, the output will be the value of the remaining transmitter.
Disabling Transmitters
Refer to GEI-100682, Mark When the quality status of transmitter A is in the BAD region, ABQ and AD become True
VIe Controller Standard Block and transmitter A is automatically disabled. Once the quality status of transmitter A
Library, the Status Monitoring becomes GOOD or UNCERTAIN, ABQ becomes False. If AU_EN_P is False, input A
(STATUS_MONITORING) remains disabled (AD remains True) and must be enabled by the HMI operator. If AU_
block. EN_P is True and the quality status of transmitter A becomes GOOD or UNCERTAIN
and the value of input A is within the deviation limits set by the user, AD becomes False
and A is automatically enabled. This concept also applies to input B.
AU_EN_P does not have any A transmitter can be manually disabled using the DUALSEL faceplate. If input A and B
effect on the enabling of a are both enabled and have a GOOD or UNCERTAIN quality status and A is manually

manually disabled input must disabled. If input A is enabled and B is disabled then BD is True.
be manually enabled.
Note The HMI operator is only allowed to disable one transmitter at any time from the
faceplate.
Output Bad Quality Indication (OBQ)

section, Analog Alarm
Configuration.
Note The deviation high output, ODH, becomes True when at least one transmitter is in
deviation. Also, if a transmitter input is disabled, the deviation alarm for that transmitter
is disabled.
In general, the deviation alarm only sets Boolean outputs and has no influence on the
functionality of the block (that is, the transmitter in deviation with the output is not
automatically disabled, and the block mode does not change).
Rate of Change Restriction
The rate of change of OUT is only restricted by the value of RATE when the block
operating mode changes. RATE is in engineering units per second. For example, if RATE
= 1, A = 10 (enabled), and B = 25 (disabled), so MODE = A, and the mode of the block is
changed by enabling input B and disabling input A. Now, MODE = B and output will
increase from 10 to 25 engineering units in 15 seconds. At this point, output equals B, the
block operating mode transition from A to B is complete and the rate of change restriction
on output is removed until the block operating mode changes, again.

Inserting the DUALSEL block into the application program will generate the window

Block Category: DUALSEL_V2, Analog Operations
The Dual Select_Version 2 (DUALSEL_V2) block transfers the average, minimum, or
maximum of two analog signals to output ({Device}). The user has the option to disable
one transmitter. If one transmitter is disabled, the output will be the value of the
remaining transmitter.
When the quality status of transmitter A is in the BAD region then ABQ and AD become
True and transmitter A is automatically disabled. Once the quality status of transmitter A
becomes GOOD or UNCERTAIN, ABQ becomes False. If AU_EN_P is False, input A
remains disabled (AD remains True) and must be enabled by the HMI operator. If AU_
EN_P is True and the quality status of transmitter A becomes GOOD or UNCERTAIN
and the value of input A is within the deviation limits set by the user, AD becomes False
and A is automatically enabled. This concept also applies to input B.

13 First In-First Out (FIFO)
Block Category: FIFO, Analog Operations
The First In-First Out (FIFO) block is an expandable block that performs a basic first in,
first out operation of up to 32 inputs. The block scans the inputs sequentially and the
FIFO order is stored using the input number of the associated input (that is, 1 for IN1, 2
for IN2, 3 for IN3, and so forth). The order in which any of the digital inputs transition
from False to True is preserved in a memory in which up to 32 transitions can be stored.
Once 32 transitions have been stored, all other transitions are ignored.
FIFO Block
For each successive False to True transition of the rotate input, RTAT, the first input
number stored in the FIFO will be removed from internal storage and that numerical
value will be written to the output, OUT. When the memory is empty, OUT is set to zero.
A False to True transition on the clear input, CLR, will cause the output and all the
internal FIFO entries to be set to zero, and will remain zero as long as the clear input,
CLR, is True.
The FLAG output is set to True when the FIFO is not empty.

Examples
Initial condition : OUT equals to 0, FLAG is False.
Scan1: IN8 transitions to True, FLAG is True
Scan2: IN1 transitions to True, FLAG is True
Scan3: IN2 and IN4 transitions to True, FLAG is True
Scan4: RTAT transitions from False to True, then OUT equals 8, FLAG is True
Scan5: RTAT transitions from True to False, FLAG is True
Scan7: RTAT transitions from True to False, FLAG is TRUE
Scan9: RTAT transitions from True to False, FLAG is True
Scan10: RTAT transitions from False to True, then OUT equals 4, FLAG is False
Scan11: RTAT transitions from True to False, FLAG is False

14 Flow Calculator (FLOW_CALC)
Block Category: FLOW_CALC, Equations and Conversions
The Flow Calculator (FLOW_CALC) block calculates the flow for non-compressible
fluids through a differential pressure flow meter. The block is expandable for up to four
transmitters. It requires the meter design pressure specifications, IHS and ILS, as well as
the flow specifications, OHS and OLS, to calculate the output. Furthermore, the OUTn is
only calculated if the INn is greater than the low cutout value, LCO. If the input variable
INn is less than or equal to LCO, then the OUTn will be 0.

OUTn status = INn status.
Block status modifications: If (INn > LCO) < ILS, or IHS ≤ ILS, or OHS ≤ OLS,
then the value of outputs OUTn = 0 and their status = NOT_LIMITED-CONFIGURATION_ERROR-BAD [4]

15 Force (FORCE)
Block Category: FORCE, Permits and Overrides
Note Legacy Status — The FORCE block is not supported for use in new Mark VIe
control systems (ControlST software suite V05.02 or later). It is in place to support the
maintenance of legacy Mark VIe control systems (prior to ControlST software suite
V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the LOGIC_BUILDER or LOGIC_
BUILDER_SC block (use if first out/state change feature is required); these blocks
provide equivalent functionality. Refer to GEI-100682, Mark VIe Controller Standard
Block Library.
The Force (FORCE) block is an expandable block of up to 32 force inputs which

functions like an OR block. Each connected input can be blocked by the HMI operator
from the force tab of the associated permit screen. This blocking function must be enabled
by setting FRCnBE to True. If force blocking is enabled for an input, an event is
generated on the HMI alarm/event screen whenever the operator blocks the FORCE.
FORCE Block
Refer to the table, Global Each input has the capability of inheriting the description of a connected global variable
Variables. or a global variable connected through a NOT block. When a connection is made to one
of the input pins, the description of the global variable is inherited by default. If this
inherited description is undesirable, it must be disabled by setting the Inherit Description
option to False in the input variable properties. The description can be replaced with a
desirable description by entering an appropriate description in the description field of the
input variable of the FORCE block (replace FORCE #1 with the desired override
description for the source connected to FRC1). The description is not copied from the
connected variable immediately; the input's description is set when the library or device
containing the input is validated or built.
ForceType enumerations are as follows:
ForceType Enumerations
CL_FRC Close force
OP_FRC Open force
INT_FRC Intermediate force
STR_FRC Start force
STP_FRC Stop force
CMD_FRC Command/setpoint force
ON_FRC On force
OFF_FRC Off force

The block will automatically create the necessary variables and provide the appropriate
attributes for each variable (for example, Type and Format Spec variables that need to be

There are two things to remember when installing a FORCE block. The first is that the
to change the block name. Device Name of the block should match the name of the block that it will be connected to.
If this block is controlling an MOV block, then the names should match. If the blocks are
connected correctly, but named incorrectly, the force block will work normally, but the
HMI screen cannot tell you why the signal is or isn’t forced.
The second thing to remember is to select the correct Force Type. If the user selects CL_
FRC, but connects it to an OP_FRC, the permissive will act like a force close but displays
in the Open force window.
Input pin names are in the form Device Value ForceType Value pin name. Output pin
names are in the form Device Value ForceType Value.OUT, Device Value ForceType
Value.FRC, and Device Value ForceType Value.FRCB.

When AUTO is True, the AU_ON and AU_OFF inputs control the automatic on/off
operation of the block, provided, PMT_ON or PMT_OFF, respectively, is True. If AU_
ON, AU_OFF, or AU_SEL become True, the group is in Manual mode, and the group
output (ON) is not in the state of the requested command, the auto request alarm, AU_
REQ, will be activated.
Override Control
The block provides override control through a Manual Reject input enumeration, MN_
REJ. The possible values are listed in the following table.
MN_REJ Enumerations
Enumeration Command
OR-NO_BLOCK Override Active And No Override Is Blocked
NO_OVR-BLOCK No Override And A Override Is Blocked
OVR-BLOCK Override Active And A Override Is Blocked
NO_OVR-NO-BLOCK No Override And No Override Is Blocked
The group is rejected to manual when MN_REJ indicates Override Active and the manual
reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by 2 seconds).
MN_REJ (if used) is driven from an Override (OVERRIDE) block. Each connected input
of the OVERRIDE block has the ability (when enabled) to be blocked by the HMI
MN_REJ enumeration contains BLOCK, the HMI operator has blocked at least one
override. GRP does not use the block information, but passes it to the HMI for display.

Force Control
The block provides force control through enumerations force open (ON_FRC) and force
close ( OFF_FRC). ON_FRC and OFF_FRC (if used) are driven from a Force (FORCE)
block. Each connected input of the FORCE block has the ability (when enabled) to be
blocked by the HMI operator, which is accessed from associated tab of the permit HMI
screen display. When ON_FRC or OFF_FRC enumeration contains BLOCK, the HMI
operator has blocked at least one force. GRP does not use the block information, but
passes it to the HMI for display. The following table provides the possible values of the
enumerations.
Force Enumerations
Enumeration Command
NO_FORCE-NO-BLOCK No Force And No Force Is Blocked
FORCE-NO_BLOCK Force Active And No Force Is Blocked
NO_FORCE-BLOCK No Force And A Force Is Blocked

Auto/On/Off Permissives
The block provides the permissive input enumerations AU_PMT, ON_PMT, and OFF_
PMT. The following table provides the possible values of the enumerations.
Auto/On/Off Permissive Enumerations

Enumeration Command
NO_PERM-NO-BYPASS No Permit And No Permit Is Bypassed
PERM-NO_BYPASS Permit OK And No Permit Is Bypassed
NO_PERM-BYPASS No Permit And A Permit Is Bypassed
PERM-BYPASS Permit OK And A Permit Is Bypassed
The permit inputs, AU_PMT, ON_PMT, and OFF_PMT, combine with internal
permissives to generate PMT_AU, PMT_ON, and PMT_OFF, permitted indications.

If the group is in Auto mode and any of these conditions are not satisfied (except AU_
PMT), the group will be placed to Manual mode (that is the outputs, AUTO and PMT_
AU are set to False) and the manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed
by 2 seconds).
PMT_ON is True when the following conditions exist:
• ON_PMT indicates Permit OK

• OFF_FRC indicates No Force
PMT_OFF is True when the following conditions exist:
• OFF_PMT indicates Permit OK

• ON_FRC indicates No Force

AU_PMT, ON_PMT, and OFF_PMT (if used) are driven from a Permit (PERMIT) block.
Each connected input of the PERMIT block has the ability (when enabled) to be bypassed
display. When AU_PMT, ON_PMT, or OFF_PMT enumeration contains BYPASS, the
HMI operator has bypassed at least one permit. GRP does not use the bypass information,
but passes it to the HMI for display.
Diagnostic Alarms
The block will generate a Discrepancy alarm, DISC, if NO_DISC is False for the time
specified by DISC_T.
Push-button Status
The block push-button status output, PBSTATE, indicates the last HMI operator initiated
CTL enumeration ON_CMD or OFF_ CMD command. PBSTATE is True if the last CTL
enumeration was ON_CMD.
Inserting a GRP block into the application code displays the following window.

Mode of Operation (Mode_OPT) is the mode in which the GRP_V2 block is configured
to operate: Manual or Automatic (Auto) mode. Manual mode allows commands from the
operator interface, while Auto mode allows the control logic to command the solenoid.
The allowable modes of operation are specified by the parameter, MODE_OPT.

• Manual Rejection from the logic (MN_REJ)
Auto mode — enables the block to respond to Open and Close commands from the logic.
Given that the permits are satisfied, the block operates in accordance with the command
from the logic. The permit for the ON command is set by the ON permit input, ON_PMT,
and the permit for the OFF command is set by the OFF permit input, OFF_PMT. The
ON_PMT and OFF_PMT inputs may be set to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_
BUILDER block. The logic commands are input to the block through the automatic open,
AU_ON, and automatic close, AU_OFF, inputs. The block may be placed in Auto mode
either by a command from the HMI or a pulse to the automatic select input, AU_SEL.
Given that the permits are satisfied, the block is placed into Auto mode. The permit for
Auto mode is set by the Auto permit input, AU_PMT. The AU_PMT input may be set to
a fixed value or also driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block.

MANUAL-AUTO mode — selection provides manual and automatic functionality. A
selection of AUTO ONLY or AUTO-LOCK for MODE_OPT provides automatic
functionality ONLY. While residing in Automatic mode, the block will control based on
external logic. Automated control from external logic interfaces to the AU_ON and AU_
OFF pins. Similar to Manual mode, Auto mode action only operates with the proper
permits. If AUTO ONLY mode is selected, the block will permanently reside in
Automatic mode. If MANUAL-AUTO is selected, only two conditions will transfer the
block from Manual mode into Auto mode. Unlike the transferring to Manual mode, here,
certain permits must be satisfied to enter into Auto mode. This means that the block is
always able to enter Manual mode, but not always able to enter Auto mode. These
conditions depend on the mode options selected for the block.
All three of the following conditions must be met for the block to enter Auto mode:
• No demand to transition to Manual mode

• MODE_OPT must be set to MANUAL-AUTO
• AUTO push-button from operator graphic or Auto select from logic (AU_SEL)
Inputs and Outputs
At a minimum, the block requires no feedback. However, discrepancy feedbacks can be
run through.
The GRP_V2 block has one Auto Order output that places all downstream devices in
Auto mode. ON and OFF status outputs can also drive downstream devices through the
Auto ON and OFF input pins. Additional outputs from this block indicate status, alarms,
and manual rejections. Much of this information is displayed on the HMI faceplate.
Diagnostic Alarms
When an alarm is active, the block may have limited control. For example, manual
rejection would prevent the block from going into Auto mode. All alarms are held true
until the alarm is cleared. Examples of potential alarms are as follows:
Discrepancy (DISC)— the input pin (NO_DISC) becomes False and gives feedback that
not all items are in Auto or ON. Return NO_DISC to value True to clear the alarm.
Auto Request (AU_REQ) — the block is in Manual mode but the Auto logic requests
that the block state be different than its current state. This has no effect on block operation
and is an alarm message only. The alarm is cleared if the block is placed into Auto mode,
manually ordered to the requested state, or the auto action is removed.
Manual Rejected (MN_REJ_A) — the GRP_V2 is rejected to manual due to a
conditional alarm or input pin (MN_REJ becomes True). The block will only respond to
manual commands. The alarm is cleared after the conditions return to normal and the
MN_REJ becomes False and a reset command is given.

Force Control
During any condition, the GRP_V2 block may be forced to a state that bypasses normal
operation. The force is driven from the ON_FRC or OFF_FRC pins in the logic. The
block will send the respective condition and remain until the force is removed. While a
force condition is active, the block may freely transfer from Auto to Manual mode
following the normal permits. However, no manual command will supersede the force.
Once the force is removed, it will continue normal operation.

Due to the nature of Auto and forcing action, the following table displays the permits that
are required for operation.

20 Heartbeat (HEARTBEAT)
Block Category: HEARTBEAT, System
The Heartbeat (HEARTBEAT) block determines the communication health status
between two devices. When OPTION is set to PASS_THRU, IN is passed to OUT. When
OPTION is set to GENERATE, the block generates a varying output based on the block
data type. If the block data type is INT, DINT, UINT or UDINT, OUT will be a Sawtooth
function ranging from 0 to 60 at 1 second increments. If the block data type is BOOL,
then OUT will be a pulse train based on PULSE_ON (ms) and PULSE_OFF (ms). IN is
monitored every scan for change, regardless of OPTION setting. When there is no change
detected within the time limit specified by BQ_TIME (ms), COMM_BQ is set to True.
COMM_BQ will remain True until communication recovery (when change is detected).

22 Level Compensation (LVL_COMP)
Block Category: LVL_COMP, Equations and Conversions
The Level Compensation (LVL_COMP) block is an expandable block that calculates the
density-compensated water level in a pressurized steam drum with water and steam at
saturation conditions. In addition to the level transmitter signal, IN1…IN4, the block
requires the pressure in the drum, IN_P, the temperature in the reference leg, IN_T_REF,
and the level transmitter range, MIN_LVL and MAX_LVL, with respect to center-line of
the drum. NWL is provided as an offset of normal water level from centerline to equate
normal water level to zero output.
LVL_COMP Block
The level compensation formula is as follows:
where:
Vtc = VOL_TC = Volume of calibration liquid at 20°C (68 °F) and 14.696 psia
(1.0133 bara)
Vr = Vol(IN_T_REF, IN_P+IN_PATM) = Volume of water in reference leg
Vw = Vol(IN_P+IN_PATM) = Volume of water at saturation conditions
Vs = Vol(IN_P+IN_PATM) = Volume of steam at saturation conditions

combinations may lead to a result outside of the selected steamtable region. This results
in an output status of NOT_LIMITED-LAST_USABLE_VALUE-UNCERTAIN [68].
When a new block is inserted into the ToolboxST application, it assigns default initial
values to some attributes. These are assumed to be in English units. If the unit system is
changed from English to SI, then these initial values must also be changed.

23 Motor Operated Valve (M_O_V)
Block Category: M_O_V, Device Control
Note Legacy Status — The M_O_V block is not supported for use in new Mark VIe
V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the M_O_V_V3 block; it provides
The Motor Operated Valve (M_O_V) block controls a motor-operated valve or a

motor-operated valve with intermediate position, powered from a low-voltage reversing
starter. The motor-operated valve with intermediate position has a limit switch set mid
travel to enable the valve to be positioned intermediately.
This block has various Depending on the control type enumeration property selected; the block provides open
enumerations that are used to and close output commands, OP_ORD and CL_ORD, or an analog output command,
control block operation. POS_ORD, that are used to operate the valve.
The block requires the inputs OPEN and CLOSED from the limit switches of the valve.
The block will generate a failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_A, failed-to-close alarm, FL_CL_
A, and a limit switch congruency alarm, CONGR_A, that alarms when the valve limit
switches indicate that the valve is open and closed at the same time.
If the valve is a motor operated valve with intermediate position, the IO option attribute,
IO Options (IO_OPT) enumeration INT is selected and the intermediate property output
INT_P is set to True When INT_P is True, the block requires an additional input to
determine the intermediate position. This is either the intermediate position limit switch
input, INT_ZS, or the analog position feedback POS, depending on the analog output
property ANA_OUT_P. The block generates a failed-to-intermediate alarm, FL_INT_A.
if the intermediate position is not reached within the fail to intermediate time (either FL_
I_OT or FL_I_CT depending on the direction the valve is moving). When the valve is in a
closed position, CLOSED\ is True, commanding the valve to the intermediate position (if
the intermediate permit, PMT_INT is True), will set the OP_ORD to True. The OP_ORD
will remain True until the intermediate position is reached (INT_ZS becomes True or
POS > INT_SETP) or the transit time has not exceeded the fail to open to intermediate
position time, FL_I_OT. If the valve is then commanded be fully open, the OPN_CMD
will remain True until the OPEN input is True (if using INT_ZS it will remain True).
When the valve is in an open position, OPEN is True, commanding the valve to the
intermediate position (if the intermediate permit, PMT_INT is True), will set the CL_
ORD to True. The CL_ORD will remain True until the intermediate position is reached
(INT_ZS becomes False or POS< INT_SETP) or the transit time has not exceeded the
fail to close to intermediate position time, FL_I_CT. If the valve is then commanded be
fully closed, the CL_ORD will remain True until the CLOSED input is True (if using
INT_ZS it will remain False).
A limit switch congruency alarm, CONGR_A, is activated when the valve limit switches
are in an illogical state (OPEN is True and CLOSED is True, or OPEN is True and INT_
ZS is False, or CLOSED is True and INT_ZS is True). CONGR_A also alarms if the
valve is not at a known position, providing there is no output command active and no
position failure (FL_OP_A, FL_CL_A, or FL_INT_A) active (this condition is delayed
by 5 seconds).

The block provides open, OP_ORD, close, CL_ORD, and position, POS_ORD (if ANA_
OUT_P is True), output commands that are used to operate the valve. This block has
various enumerations that are used to control block operation.
Control (CTL) is an enumeration set by the HMI operator for valve control. The
commands available from the HMI allow manual and automatic valve control capability
the Auto and/or Lock mode. The valve may be opened or closed in Manual mode by the
OPEN_CMD or CLOSE_CMD enumerations, respectively. If the valve is a
motor-operated valve with intermediate position,INT_P is True, the valve may also be
commanded to the intermediate position in Manual mode by the OPEN_CMD or
CLOSE_CMD enumeration (depending on starting position). The command enumerations

Example
If the valve has a position feedback input, control power monitoring input, fuse
monitoring and has the capability for auto and lockout, operation. Then the CTRL_TYPE
selection is DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_IN-POS, IO_OPT selection is CP_OK, MODE_
OPT is AUTO-LOCK, and IO_MON is FUSE.

Control Type (CTRL_TYPE) enumerations are as follows:
CTRL_TYPE Enumerations
Enumeration Control Option Description
DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_ Digital input control with digital outputs and no analog
IN position feedback input
DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_ Digital input control with digital outputs and an analog

IN-POS position feedback input
DIG_CTRL-ANA_OUT-DIG_ Digital input control with analog output and an analog

IN-POS position feedback input
DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_IN — select for valves that do not provide an analog

position feedback. When the DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_IN enumeration is selected, the
output POSFB_P is False.
DIG_CTRL-ANA_OUT-DIG_IN-POS — elect for valves that provide digital inputs, an
analog output, and an analog position feedback. The OPEN and CLOSED inputs from the
limit switches of the valve are required. When the DIG_CTRL-ANA_OUT-DIG_IN-POS
enumeration is selected, the outputs DIG_CTRL_P, ANA_OUT_P, DIG_IN_P, and
POSFB_P are True.
DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_IN-POS — select for valves that provide an analog
position feedback, which is used by the HMI objects and faceplates to display the valve
open percentage. When the DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_IN-POS enumeration is
selected, the output POSFB_P is True.
IO Options (IO_OPT) enumerations are as follows:
IO_OPT Enumerations
CP_OK M_O_V has a hard-wired control power monitoring input.
REM M_O_V has a hard-wired remote/local input.
AVAIL M_O_V has hard-wired available input. This is a 'Ready to go indicator'.
TRANS M_O_V has a hard-wired valve-in-transit input.
INT M_O_V has a hard-wired intermediate position input. It knows where it is in the track.
TQ_LIM M_O_V has hard-wired torque limiting input.
NONE — when IO_OPT is none, then CP_OK, REMOTE, AVAIL, TRANSIT, POS,
andINT_ZS inputs are not used.
CP_OK — select for valves that provide a control power monitoring IO capability. When
the CP_OK enumeration is selected, the output CP_OK_P is True. The Boolean control
power monitoring connection is to the CP_OK input of the block and is True when no
control power failure is detected. When the CP_OK input is False, the control power
failure alarm, CP_F_A, is activated. If the valve is in AUTO mode and the duration of
CP_F _A being True has exceeded the PWR_FL_TMR, the valve will switch to
MANUAL mode and the manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by
2 seconds).

REM — select for valves that have remote/local capability. When the REM enumeration
REMOTE input of the block and is True when the valve is in remote mode. When
REMOTE is False, the output LOCAL is True and valve control from the HMI is
disabled. If the valve is in AUTO mode and LOCAL is True, the valve will switch to

AVAIL — select for valves that require an available capability. When the AVAIL
to the AVAIL input of the block and is True when the valve is available. When AVAIL is
False, the available alarm, AVAIL_A, is activated. If the valve is in AUTO mode and the
duration of AVAIL_A being True has exceeded the PWR_FL_TMR, the valve will switch
to MANUAL mode and the manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed
by 2 seconds).
TQ_LIM — select for valves that require torque limiting capability. When the TQ_LIM
enumeration is selected, the output TQ_LIM_P is True. The Boolean torque limiting open
and torque limiting close signals are connected to the TL_OP and TL_CL inputs of the
block. When either TL_OP or TL_CL are True, the torque limiting alarm, TL_A, is
activated. If the valve is in AUTO mode and the duration of TL_A being True has
exceeded 2 seconds, the valve will switch to MANUAL mode and the manual reject
alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated (delayed by 2 seconds).
TRANS — select for valves that provide capability to determine when the valve is in
transit. When the TRANS enumeration is selected, the output TRANS_P is True. The
Boolean, valve in transit, connection is to the TRANSIT input of the block, and is True
when the valve is in transit. When the TRANSIT input is True, the transit indication
output, TRN_IND, is True. If the TRANS_P is False, TRN_IND is True whenever OP_
ORD or CL_ORD is True.
INT — select for valves is a motor-operated valve with intermediate position. When INT
is selected, INT_P is set to True, and requires the input, INT_ZS, the intermediate
position limit switch input. The intermediate indication output INT is True when the valve
is in the intermediate position. INT_SENS allows the range to be set in which the
intermediate position is True. The block will also generate a limit switch congruency
alarm, CONGR_A, which activates when the valve limit switches are in an illogical state
(OPEN is True and CLOSED is True, or if INT_P is True, OPEN is True and INT_ZS is
False or CLOSED is True and INT_ZS is True). In addition, the block will generate a
failed-to-intermediate alarm, FL_INT_A, which activates when the valves fails to move
to the intermediate position, by the time specified by FL_I_OT, failed-to-intermediate
open time or FL_I_CT, failed-to-intermediate close time, depending on the direction of
movement.

Override Control
The block provides override control through Override input enumerations Override Open,
OP_OVR, Override Close, CL_OVR, Override Intermediate, INT_OVR (if INT_P is
True) and a Manual Reject input enumeration, MN_REJ. The possible values are
OP_OVR, CL_OVR, INT_OVR, and MN_REJ Enumerations

Enumeration Command
NO_OVER_NO_BLOCK No override and no override is blocked
OVER_NO_BLOCK Override active and no override is blocked
NO_OVER_BLOCK No override and a override is blocked
OVER_BLOCK Override active and a override is blocked
OP_OVR, CL_OVR, or INT_OVR will open, close, or move the valve to the intermediate
position, respectively, and prevent it from reclosing/reopening in any mode. If the valve is
in auto mode (AUTO is True), it rejects to manual and the manual reject alarm, MN_
REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by 2 seconds).
OP_OVR, CL_OVR, and INT_OVR (if used) are driven from an Override (OVERRIDE)
block. Each connected input of the OVERRIDE block has the ability (when enabled) to
be blocked by the HMI operator, which is accessed from associated tab of the permit HMI
screen display. When OP_OVR, CL_OVR, or INT_OVR enumeration contains BLOCK,
the HMI operator has blocked at least one override. M_O_V does not use the block
Force Control
The block provides force control through force enumerations Force Open input, OP_FRC,
Force Close input, CL_FRC, and a Force Intermediate input, INT_FRC (if INT_P is
True). The possible values are provided in the following table.
OP_FRC, CL_FRC, and INT_FRC Enumerations

Enumeration Command
OP_FRC, CL_FRC, or INT_FRC force the valve open, close, or to the intermediate
position in any mode except when OP_OVR, CL_OVR, or INT_OVR indicates Override
Active. The valve does not reject to manual if a force occurs.
OP_FRC, CL_FRC, and INT_FRC (if used) are driven from a Force (FORCE) block.
Each connected input of the FORCE block has the ability (when enabled) to be blocked

The block provides permissive input enumerations AU_PMT, OP_PMT, CL_PMT, and
INT_PMT. The possible values are provided in the following table.
Permit Enumerations
PERM-BYPASS Permit ok and a permit is bypassed
The block permit inputs, OP_PMT, CL_PMT, and INT_PMT, combine with internal
permissives to generate PMT_OP, PMT_CL, and PMT_INT, permitted indications
(intermediate permits are available when INT_P is True).
If the valve is in Auto mode and any of the conditions listed are not satisfied (except AU_
PMT) the valve will be placed to Manual mode (that is the outputs, AUTO and PMT_AU
are set to False) and the manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, (delayed by
2 seconds).

AU_PMT, OP_PMT, CL_PMT, and INT_PMT (If used) are driven from a Permit
(PERMIT) block. Each connected input of the PERMIT block has the ability (when
enabled) to be bypassed by the HMI operator, which is accessed from associated tab of
the permit HMI screen display. When AU_PMT, OP_PMT, CL_PMT, orINT_PMT
enumeration contains BYPASS, the HMI operator has bypassed at least one permit. M_
O_V does not use the bypass information, but passes it to the HMI for display.

Diagnostic Alarms
The block will generate a failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_A, a failed-to-close alarm, FL_
CL_A, and a failed-to-intermediate, FL_INT_A (if INT_P is True), if the valve fails to
open, close, or move to the intermediate position in the time specified by the fail to open
time, FL_OP_T, fail to close time, FL_CL_T, fail to open to intermediate time, FL_I_OT,
or fail to close to intermediate time, FL_I_CT. These alarms are reset when FAULT_
RESET is True or if the CTL enumeration equals RESET_CMD.
The block has a limit switch congruency alarm, CONGR_A that alarms when the valve
limit switches are in an illogical state (OPEN is True and CLOSED is True, or if INT_P is
True, OPEN is True and INT_ZS is False or CLOSED is True and INT_ZS is True). The
CONGR_A alarm is reset when the condition that caused the alarm is cleared. The output,
FAULT, is True when a fault is detected.
FAULT is True when the any of the following conditions exist:
• FL_OP_A is True
• FL_CL_A is True
• OP_FLR is True
• CONGR_A is True
• CP_F_A is True
• FL_INT_A is True
• AVAIL_A is True
• TL_A is True
Push-button Status
The block has two push-button status outputs, PBSTATE and PBSTATE2, to indicate the
last HMI operator initiated CTL enumeration. PBSTATE is True when the last HMI CTL
enumeration was INT_CMD (if INT_P is True). PBSTATE is False when the last HMI
CTL enumeration was CLOSE_CMD. PBSTATE2 is True when the last HMI CTL
enumeration was OPEN_CMD.

24 Motor Operated Valve_Version 2 (M_O_V_V2)
Block Category: M_O_V_V2, Device Control
Note Legacy Status — The M_O_V_V2 block is not supported for use in new Mark
V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the M_O_V_V3 block; it provides
The Motor Operated Valve_Version 2 (M_O_V_V2) block is a logic block that interfaces
with the inputs and outputs of a modulating motor operated valve (MOV). The M_O_V_
V2 block can be configured for a wide variety of valve types and several operating
modes. The type of MOV being driven by the block determines the configuration mode of
the block. The output control mode of the block may be configured for digital open and/or
close operation, analog out (position demand %), or both. The selected mode determines
the type of input status pins that appear on the block. M_O_V_V2 blocks that are
fieldbus-capable have several diagnostic alarm parameters that can be tied to some of the
input pins of the block. These parameters may be used for open and/or close permissives,
alarms, and so forth. For example, an open and/or close torque limit is a valve status
parameter that has specific input pins on the M_O_V_V2 block. These parameters may be
set to alarm or tied to some other custom logic. The block also has force open and/or
close or intermediate position capability.
All pins are not required to The M_O_V_V2 block is displayed in the following figure. However, not all variable

The command enumerations are defined in the following table.
This block has various CTL Enumerations

operations. AUTO_CMD Auto command
Modes of Control (CTRL_TYPE) enumerations are as follows:
DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_IN Digital input control with digital outputs and no analog position feedback input
DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_IN-POS Digital input control with digital outputs and an analog position feedback input
DIG_CTRL-ANA_OUT-DIG_IN-POS Digital input control with analog output and an analog position feedback input

DIG_CTRL-ANA_OUT-DIG_IN-POS — select for valves that provide digital inputs,
an analog output, and an analog position feedback. The OPEN and CLOSED inputs from
the limit switches of the valve are required. When the DIG_CTRL-ANA_OUT-DIG_
IN-POS enumeration is selected, the outputs DIG_CTRL_P, ANA_OUT_P, DIG_IN_P,
and POSFB_P are True.

Inputs and Outputs
At a minimum, the M_O_V_V2 block requires open and/or close position feedback, and
valve order output. However, other inputs may be used for automatic control, valve
forcing, manual rejection, and such.
Depending on the block configuration, the output could be a single percent demand
(POS_ORD), open and/or close (CL_ORD, OP_ORD), or intermediate position (INT_
ORD). The intermediate setpoint (INT_SETP) may be set with an immediate value or
variable that may be the result of an equation or condition. The M_O_V_V2 intermediate
position can be achieved using either output method, as well as the position input (POS)
to determine if the intermediate position has been reached. The following figures are logic
representations of the Open command logic. The Close and Int command logic is similar,
but replaces the Open text with Close or Int text.
Open Command Logic
Open Command Digital Control Output

Modes of Operation (MODE_OPT) is the mode in which the M_O_V_V2 block is
configured to operate: Manual or Auto mode, and disallow any operation while in Lock
mode. Manual mode allows commands from the operator interface, while Auto mode
allows the control logic to command the valve. In either mode there are inputs that may
bypass or override the active mode of operation. Lock mode is intended to be used when
maintenance work is being performed on the valve and the operator wants to prohibit any
logic from operating the valve. The allowable modes of operation are specified by the
Mode Options parameter, MODE_OPT. The following table provides a visual
presentation of the modes available based on the MODE_OPT selection.

Manual mode is always Manual mode — enables the block to respond to operator Open and Close commands
available unless MODE_OPT from an HMI faceplate. Given that the permits are satisfied, the block operates in
is set to AUTO ONLY or accordance with the Manual command. The permit for the Open command is set by the
AUTO-LOCK. Open permit input, OP_PMT, and the permit for the Close command is set by the Close
permit input, CL_PMT. Similarly, the same is true for INT_PMT. These inputs may be set
to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block. The possible conditions that
place the block into Manual mode are:
• Manual mode selected from the HMI faceplate

• Device is locked from the HMI faceplate
• Override Close, Int, or Open from the logic (OVR_CL, OVR_INT, OVR_OP)
• Open or close circuit failure (RDY_CL, RDY_OP)
• Valve at torque limit reached (TL_OP, TL_CL)
• M_O_V_V2 not Available (AVAIL)
• M_O_V_V2 not in Remote (REMOTE)
• Congruency alarm
Note Some of these conditions require block parameters to be specifically configured.

For example, the block does not depend on the AVAIL pin unless IO_OPT is set to
AVAIL.

Manual Mode Conditions
Auto mode — enables the block to respond to open and close commands from logic.
Given that the permits are satisfied, the block operates per command from the logic. The
permit for the Open command is set by the Open permit input, OP_PMT, and the permit
for the Close command is set by the close permit input, and the permit for Intermediate
Position is set by INT_PMT input. The OP_PMT, CL_PMT, and INT_PMT inputs may be
set to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block. The logic commands are
input to the block through the Automatic Open (AU_OP), Automatic Close (AU_CL),
and Automatic intermediate position inputs. The block may be placed in Auto mode
either from a command from the HMI or a pulse to the automatic select input, AU_SEL.
Given that the permits are satisfied, the block will be placed into Auto mode. The permit
for the Auto mode is set by the Auto permit input, AU_PMT. The AU_PMT input may be
set to a fixed value or also driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block.
selection of AUTO ONLY OR AUTO-LOCK for MODE_OPT provides automatic
functionality ONLY. While residing in Auto mode, the block will control the valve based
on external logic. Automated control from external logic interfaces to the AU_OP, AU_
INT and AU_CL pins. Similar to Manual mode, Auto action only operates with the proper
Open, Int, and Close permits. If AUTO ONLY mode is selected, the block will
permanently reside in Auto mode. If MANUAL-AUTO is selected, only two conditions
will transfer the block from Manual mode into Auto mode. Unlike the transferring to
Manual mode, certain permits must be satisfied to allow the valve to enter into Auto
mode. This means that the M_O_V_V2 is always able to enter Manual mode, but not
always able to enter Auto mode. These conditions depend on the mode options selected
for the block.

• MODE_OPT must be set to MANUAL-AUTO or MANUAL-AUTO_LOCK

Auto Only mode — selected using the MODE_OPT pin. All of the Auto Open or Auto
Close commands work as previously described, however, all of the Trip, Override, and
Reject to Manual features are disabled, including the ability of the operator to select the
Manual mode from the HMI faceplate. Once Auto Only Mode is selected, the
corresponding options (Auto, Manual, Start, and Stop) displayed on the faceplate are
removed.
At any time, the block may go Lock mode — may only be selected when the solenoid is in the de-energized state. In this
into Lock mode as long as it is mode, the block forces the output so that the solenoid remains de-energized. Upon being
residing in its fail-safe placed in locked mode, if currently in Auto mode, it will transfer to Manual mode. At this
position. Only the operator time no open commands, forces, or overrides will be accepted. Upon removing the lock,
may place block into Lock Manual mode will then be active. Similarly, AUTO ONLY and AUTO-LOCK (no open
mode. commands) will be accepted. However, upon removal of Lock mode, the block will return
to Auto mode.
Modes of I/O (IO_OPT) is the mode in which M_O_V_V2 block may be configured to
allow input I/O states for the device. All I/O are digital or analog inputs received from the
valve device. Each I/O input indicates the current status. Device status includes control
power available, device not available, and device in remote. Depending on the I/O
properties enabled, the block will act differently. The I/O configurations are specified by
the I/O Options parameter, IO_OPT. The following table provides a visual presentation of
the modes available based on the IO_OPT selection. Any enumeration of the I/O pins is
available. However, not all are displayed because there are too many to display in the
table.

Control Power OK — allows the device I/O input from CP_OK. If this input goes False,
a Control Power Fail alarm is generated that trips the device and places it in Manual.
Remote — allows the device I/O input from REMOTE. If this input goes False, a device
in Local alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Available — allows the device I/O input from AVAIL. If this input goes False, a Device
not available alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Transit — allows the device I/O input from TRANSIT. If this input goes True, a valve is
in Transit and moving or changing positions.
Int — allows the device I/O input from INT. If this input goes True, the valve has reached
its intermediate limit position.

Torque Limit — allows the device I/O input from TQ_LIM. If this input goes True, the
valve has exceeded the maximum allowed torque value while trying to open or close. An
alarm is generated and the valve is placed in Manual mode.
Additional outputs from this block indicate status, failures, alarms, forces, and overrides.
Much of this information is displayed on the HMI faceplate.
Diagnostic Alarms
When an alarm is active, the M_O_V_V2 block could have limited action of movement.
For example, a Fail to Open will inhibit the valve from opening again. In this case, an
Alarm Reset must be issued so the valve may continue normal operation. Some alarms are
held True until the alarm is cleared, while others require an Alarm Reset to remove the
indication. The alarm may be reset at any time from the logic or an operator push-button.
However, the reset must occur after the alarm has been cleared. Otherwise, the alarm will
stay active. For Unit Controls, this Alarm Reset pin may be connected to the Master Reset
parameter. The alarms that may occur are as follows:
Fail to Open (FL_OP_A)+ — when commanded Open, the valve fails to reach the open
limit within the allotted time (FL_OP_T). The block cannot reissue an Open command
while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm. In Auto Only mode, the initial AUTO
ONLY-LOCK indication of Fail to Open will remove the Open command. The Open
command can then be reissued at any time and will not affect valve operation.
Fail to Open (FL_OP_A)
Fail to Close (FL_CL_A)+ — when commanded Open, the valve fails to reach the
closed limit within the allotted time (FL_CL_T). The block cannot reissue a close
command while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm. In Auto Only mode, the initial
AUTO ONLY-LOCK indication of Fail to Close will remove the Close command. The
Close command can then be reissued at any time and will not affect valve operation.
Fail to INT (FL_INT_A)+ — when commanded to INPT position, the valve fails to
reach the Intermediate location within the allotted time (FL_I_T). The block cannot
reissue an INT command while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm.
Congruency Alarm (CONGR_A)+ — the valve has both open and closed limits at the
same time, or for the allotted time the block is neither open nor closed. The block could
be rejected to manual depending on its configuration. The alarm is cleared when the valve
reaches either of its limits.

Open Circuit Failure (OP_FLR) — power is lost to the circuit that opens the M_O_V_
V2 (RDY_OP becomes False) for at least 2 seconds. This pin is a reserved parameter that
monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual+. An operator cannot reissue
an Open command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when RDY_OP
becomes True.
Close Circuit Failure (CL_FLR) — power is lost to the circuit that closes the M_O_V_
V2 (RDY_CL becomes False) for at least 2 seconds. This pin is a reserved parameter that
monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual**. An operator cannot reissue
a Close command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when RDY_CL becomes
True.
Control Power Failure (CP_F_A)+ — power is lost to the motor (CP_OK becomes
False). After 0.5 seconds, the block will reject to manual. An operator cannot reissue an
OP/CL/INT command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when CP_OK
becomes True. In Auto Only/AUTO ONLY-LOCK mode, Control Power Failure will not
affect Force Close/Open action.
Not Available (AVAIL_A) — M_O_V_V2 has become unavailable due to a device not
available condition (AVAIL becomes False). The block will reject to manual. An operator
cannot reissue an OP/CL/INT command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared
when AVAIL becomes True.
Manual Rejected (MN_REJ_A) — M_O_V_V2 is rejected to manual due to a
Auto Request (AU_REQ)+ — M_O_V_V2 is in Manual mode but the Auto logic
requests that the valve state be different than its current state. This has no effect on valve
operation and is an alarm message only. The alarm is cleared if the valve is placed into
Auto mode, manually ordered to the requested state, or the Auto action is removed.
Not in Remote (REMOTE_A) — the valve is in Local mode and can be moved by an
operator local at the valve. However, a control system cannot operate a valve while in
Local (REMOTE becomes False). No OP/CL/INT commands may be issued. The alarm
is cleared when REMOTE becomes True.
Torque Limit (TL_A) — valve Torque limit reached while trying to open or close the
valve (TL_OP or TL_CL becomes True). The block will reject to manual. An operator
when TL_OP and TL_CL becomes False.
Note + If the MODE_OPT is set to AUTO ONLY or AUTO-LOCK, this alarm will not
affect automatic valve operation. However the alarm will still become active under the
given conditions.

Force and Override Control

example, if the valve is forced open, there must be no Override Close, Circuit Failure, or
Failed to Open. While a force condition is active, the valve may freely transfer from Auto
to Manual following the normal permits. However, no manual command will supersede
the force. Once the force is removed, the valve will continue normal operation.
Refer to the figure, Open An override will supersede a force and place the valve into the overridden state. For

force. V_V2 block will take precedence from the override command, then the force command,
and then the manual or auto command. Upon entering an overridden state, the valve is
placed into Manual mode. Once the override is removed, the valve will remain in Manual
mode until changed by the operator.
Although forces and overrides bypass normal permits, if the valve is locked, forces and
overrides will have no effect on the block. The block must be removed from Lock mode
before the forces and overrides affect block operation. Additionally, if the MODE_OPT is
set to AUTO ONLY or AUTO-LOCK, the override pins will be disabled and will have no
effect on the block.

25 Motor Operated Valve_Version 3 (M_O_V_V3)
Block Category: M_O_V_V3, Device Control
The Motor Operated Valve_Version 3 (M_O_V_V3) block is a logic block that interfaces
with the inputs and outputs of a modulating motor operated valve (MOV). The block can
be configured for a wide variety of valve types and several operating modes. The type of
MOV being driven by the block determines the configuration mode of the block. The
output control mode of the block may be configured for digital open and/or close
operation, analog out (position demand %), or both. The selected mode determines the
type of input status pins that appear on the block. M_O_V_V3 blocks that are
fieldbus-capable have several diagnostic alarm parameters that can be tied to some of the
input pins of the block. These parameters may be used for open and/or close permissives,
alarms, and so forth. For example, an open and/or close torque limit is a valve status
parameter that has specific input pins on the M_O_V_V3 block. These parameters may be
set to alarm or tied to some other custom logic. The block also has force open and/or
close or intermediate position capability.
All pins are not required to The M_O_V_V3 block is displayed in the following figure. However, not all variable

Modes of Control (CTRL_TYPE) enumerations are as follows:
DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_IN Digital input control with digital outputs and no analog position feedback input
DIG_CTRL-DIG_OUT-DIG_IN-POS Digital input control with digital outputs and an analog position feedback input
DIG_CTRL-ANA_OUT-DIG_IN-POS Digital input control with analog output and an analog position feedback input

DIG_CTRL-ANA_OUT-DIG_IN-POS — select for valves that provide digital inputs,
an analog output, and an analog position feedback. The OPEN and CLOSED inputs from
the limit switches of the valve are required. When the DIG_CTRL-ANA_OUT-DIG_
IN-POS enumeration is selected, the outputs DIG_CTRL_P, ANA_OUT_P, DIG_IN_P,
and POSFB_P are True.

Inputs and Outputs
At a minimum, the M_O_V_V3 block requires open and/or close position feedback, and
valve order output. However, other inputs may be used for automatic control, valve
forcing, manual rejection, and such.
Depending on the block configuration, the output could be a single percent demand
(POS_ORD), open and/or close (CL_ORD, OP_ORD), or intermediate position (INT_
ORD). The intermediate setpoint (INT_SETP) may be set with an immediate value or
variable that may be the result of an equation or condition. The M_O_V_V3 intermediate
position can be achieved using either output method, as well as the position input (POS)
to determine if the intermediate position has been reached. The following figures are logic
representations of the Open command logic. The Close and Int command logic is similar,
but replaces the Open text with Close or Int text.
Open Command Logic
Open Command Digital Control Output

Modes of Operation (MODE_OPT) are the modes in which the M_O_V_V3 block may
be configured to operate in Manual or Auto mode, and disallow any operation while in
Lock mode. Manual mode allows commands from the operator interface, while Auto
mode allows the control logic to command the valve. In either mode there are inputs that
may bypass or override the active mode of operation. Lock mode is intended to be used
when maintenance work is being performed on the valve and the operator wants to
prohibit any logic from operating the valve. The allowable modes of operation are
specified by the Mode Options parameter, MODE_OPT. The following table provides a
visual presentation of the modes available based on the MODE_OPT selection.

Manual mode is always Manual mode — enables the block to respond to operator Open and Close commands

is set to AUTO ONLY or accordance with the Manual command. The permit for the Open command is set by the
AUTO-LOCK. Open permit input, OP_PMT, and the permit for the Close command is set by the Close
permit input, CL_PMT. Similarly, the same is true for INT_PMT. These inputs may be set
Some of these conditions to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block. The possible conditions that
require block parameters to be place the block into Manual mode are:
specifically configured. For
example, the block does not • Manual mode selected from the HMI faceplate
depend on the AVAIL pin • Device is locked from the HMI faceplate
unless IO_OPT is set to AVAIL.
• Override Close, Int, or Open from the logic (OVR_CL, OVR_INT, OVR_OP)
• Open or close circuit failure (RDY_CL, RDY_OP)
• Valve at torque limit reached (TL_OP, TL_CL)
• M_O_V_V3 not Available (AVAIL)
• M_O_V_V3 not in Remote (REMOTE)
• Congruency alarm

Manual Mode Conditions
Auto mode — enables the block to respond to open and close commands from logic.
Given that the permits are satisfied, the block operates per command from the logic. The
permit for the Open command is set by the Open permit input, OP_PMT, and the permit
for the Close command is set by the close permit input, and the permit for Intermediate
Position is set by INT_PMT input. The OP_PMT, CL_PMT, and INT_PMT inputs may be
set to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block. The logic commands are
input to the block through the Automatic Open (AU_OP), Automatic Close (AU_CL),
and Automatic intermediate position inputs. The block may be placed in Auto mode
either from a command from the HMI or a pulse to the automatic select input, AU_SEL.
Given that the permits are satisfied, the block will be placed into Auto mode. The permit
for the Auto mode is set by the Auto permit input, AU_PMT. The AU_PMT input may be
set to a fixed value or also driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block.
MANUAL-AUTO mode — selection provides manual and automatic functionality.
AUTO ONLY or AUTO-LOCK— selection provides automatic functionality only.
While residing in Auto mode, the block will control the valve based on external logic.
Automated control from external logic interfaces to the AU_OP, AU_INT and AU_CL
pins. Similar to Manual mode, Auto action only operates with the proper Open, Int, and
Close permits. If AUTO ONLY mode is selected, the block will permanently reside in
Auto mode. If MANUAL-AUTO is selected, only two conditions will transfer the block
from Manual mode into Auto mode. Unlike the transferring to Manual mode, certain
permits must be satisfied to allow the valve to enter into Auto mode. This means that the
M_O_V_V3 is always able to enter Manual mode, but not always able to enter Auto
mode. These conditions depend on the mode options selected for the block.


Auto Only mode — is selected using the MODE_OPT pin. All of the Auto Open or Auto
Close commands work as previously described, however, all of the Trip, Override, and
Reject to Manual features are disabled, including the ability of the operator to select the
Manual mode from the HMI faceplate. Once Auto Only Mode is selected, the
corresponding options (Auto, Manual, Start, and Stop) displayed on the faceplate are
removed.
At any time, the block may go Lock mode — may only be selected when the solenoid is in the de-energized state. In this
into Lock mode as long as it is mode, the block forces the output so that the solenoid remains de-energized. Upon being
residing in its fail-safe placed in locked mode, if currently in Auto mode, it will transfer to Manual mode. At this
position. Only the operator time no open commands, forces, or overrides will be accepted. Upon removing the lock,
may place block into Lock Manual mode will then be active. Similarly, AUTO ONLY and AUTO-LOCK (no open
mode. commands) will be accepted. However, upon removal of Lock mode, the block will return
to Auto mode.
Modes of I/O (IO_OPT) are the modes in which the M_O_V_V3 block may be
configured to allow input I/O states for the device. All I/O are digital or analog inputs
received from the valve device. Each I/O input indicates the current status. Device status
includes control power available, device not available, and device in remote. Depending
on the I/O properties enabled, the block will act differently. The I/O configurations are
specified by the I/O Options parameter, IO_OPT. The following table provides a visual
presentation of the modes available based on the IO_OPT selection. Any enumeration of

a Control Power Fail alarm is generated that trips the device and places it in Manual.
Remote — allows the device I/O input from REMOTE. If this input goes False, a device
in Local alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Available — allows the device I/O input from AVAIL. If this input goes False, a Device
not available alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Transit — allows the device I/O input from TRANSIT. If this input goes True, a valve is
in Transit and moving or changing positions.
Int — allows the device I/O input from INT. If this input goes True, the valve has reached
its intermediate limit position.

Torque Limit — allows the device I/O input from TQ_LIM. If this input goes True, the
valve has exceeded the maximum allowed torque value while trying to open or close. An
alarm is generated and the valve is placed in Manual mode.
Additional outputs from this block indicate status, failures, alarms, forces, and overrides.
Much of this information is displayed on the HMI faceplate.
Diagnostic Alarms
When an alarm is active, the M_O_V_V3 block could have limited action of movement.
For example, a Fail to Open will inhibit the valve from opening again. In this case, an
Alarm Reset must be issued so the valve may continue normal operation. Some alarms are
held True until the alarm is cleared, while others require an Alarm Reset to remove the
indication. The alarm may be reset at any time from the logic or an operator push-button.
stay active. For Unit Controls, this Alarm Reset pin may be connected to the Master Reset
parameter. The alarms that may occur are as follows:
Fail to Open (FL_OP_A)+ — when commanded Open, the valve fails to reach the open
limit within the allotted time (FL_OP_T). The block cannot reissue an Open command
while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm. In Auto Only mode, the initial AUTO
ONLY-LOCK indication of Fail to Open will remove the Open command. The Open
command can then be reissued at any time and will not affect valve operation.
Fail to Open (FL_OP_A)

Fail to Close (FL_CL_A)+ — when commanded Open, the valve fails to reach the
closed limit within the allotted time (FL_CL_T). The block cannot reissue a close
command while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm. In Auto Only mode, the initial
AUTO ONLY-LOCK indication of Fail to Close will remove the Close command. The
Close command can then be reissued at any time and will not affect valve operation.
Fail to INT (FL_INT_A)+ — when commanded to INPT position, the valve fails to
reach the Intermediate location within the allotted time (FL_I_T). The block cannot
reissue an INT command while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm.
same time, or for the allotted time the block is neither open nor closed. The block could
be rejected to manual depending on its configuration. The alarm is cleared when the valve
reaches either of its limits.

Open Circuit Failure (OP_FLR) — power is lost to the circuit that opens the M_O_V_
V3 (RDY_OP becomes False) for at least 2 seconds. This pin is a reserved parameter that
monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual+. An operator cannot reissue
an Open command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when RDY_OP
becomes True.
Close Circuit Failure (CL_FLR) — power is lost to the circuit that closes the M_O_V_
V3 (RDY_CL becomes False) for at least 2 seconds. This pin is a reserved parameter that
monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual**. An operator cannot reissue
a Close command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when RDY_CL becomes
True.
Control Power Failure (CP_F_A)+ — power is lost to the motor (CP_OK becomes
False). After 0.5 seconds, the block will reject to manual. An operator cannot reissue an
OP/CL/INT command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when CP_OK
becomes True. In Auto Only/AUTO ONLY-LOCK mode, Control Power Failure will not
affect Force Close/Open action.
Not Available (AVAIL_A) — M_O_V_V3 has become unavailable due to a device not
available condition (AVAIL becomes False). The block will reject to manual. An operator
Manual Rejected (MN_REJ_A) — M_O_V_V3 is rejected to manual due to a
Auto Request (AU_REQ)+ — M_O_V_V3 is in Manual mode but the Auto logic
requests that the valve state be different than its current state. This has no effect on valve
operation and is an alarm message only. The alarm is cleared if the valve is placed into
Auto mode, manually ordered to the requested state, or the Auto action is removed.
Torque Limit (TL_A) — valve Torque limit reached while trying to open or close the
valve (TL_OP or TL_CL becomes True). The block will reject to manual. An operator

given conditions.

example, if the valve is forced open, there must be no Override Close, Circuit Failure, or
Failed to Open. While a force condition is active, the valve may freely transfer from Auto
to Manual following the normal permits. However, no manual command will supersede
the force. Once the force is removed, the valve will continue normal operation.
Refer to the figure, Open An override will supersede a force and place the valve into the overridden state. For

Override Control
The block provides override input enumerations override open, OP_OVR, override close,
CL_OVR, a dominant override stop, STP_OVR, override setpoint/command, CMD_
OVR, and a manual reject input enumeration, MN_REJ. The following table provides the
possible values of the enumerations.
CL_OVR, OP_OVR, STP_OVR, and CMD_OVR, and MN_REJ Enumerations

Name Override Option Description
When DIG_OUT_P is True, OP_OVR, CL_OVR, or STP_OVR will open, close, or stop
the movement of the valve, respectively, and prevent it from reopening/reclosing/moving
in any mode. Note that STP_OVR is the dominate override. When ANA_OUT_P is True
and CMD_OVR indicates Override Active, the valve will move to the position assigned to
the OV input. If the valve is in auto mode (AUTO is True), it rejects to manual and the
OVR_OP, CL_OVR, STP_OVR, and CMD_OVR (if used) are driven from an
OVERRIDE block. Each connected input of the OVERRIDE block has the ability (when
enabled) to be blocked by the HMI operator, which is accessed from associated tab of the
permit HMI screen display. When OP_OVR, CL_OVR, STP_OVR, or CMD_OVR
enumeration contains BLOCK, the HMI operator has blocked at least one override. M_
O_V_JOG does not use the block information, but passes it to the HMI for display.

Force Control
The block provides force input enumerations force open, OP_FRC, force close, CL_FRC,
force stop, STP_FRC, and force setpoint/command, CMD_FRC. The following table
provides the possible values of the enumerations.
CL_FRC, OP_FRC, STP_FRC, and CMD_FRC Enumerations

Name Force Option Description
When DIG_OUT_P is True, OP_FRC, CL_FRC, or STP_FRC force the valve to open,
close, or stop in any mode except when OP_OVR, CL_OVR, or STP_OVR indicate
Override Active. When ANA_OUT_P is True and CMD_FRC indicates Force Active, the
valve will move to the position assigned to the FV input except when CMD_OVR
indicate Override Active. The valve does not reject to manual if a force occurs.
OP_FRC, CL_FRC, STP_FRC, and CMD_FRC (If used) are driven from a FORCE
screen display. When OP_FRC, CL_FRC, STP_FRC, or CMD_FRC enumeration
contains BLOCK, the HMI operator has blocked at least one force. M_O_V_JOG does
not use the block information, but passes it to the HMI for display.

The block provides permissive input enumerations AU_PMT, OP_PMT, CL_PMT. The
following table provides the possible values of the enumerations.

connected input of the PERMIT block has the ability (when enabled) to be bypassed by
display. When AU_PMT, OP_PMT, or CL_PMT enumeration contains BYPASS, the
HMI operator has bypassed at least one permit. M_O_V_JOG does not use the bypass

Diagnostic Alarms
When the DIG_CTLR_P is True, the block will generate a failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_
A, a failed-to-close alarm, FL_CL_A, and a failed-to-stop alarm, FL_STP_A, if the valve
fails to open or close, in the time specified by the fail to open time, FL_OP_T, or fail to
close time, FL_CL_T, or the valve movement fails to stop in 3 seconds, respectively.
These alarms are reset when FAULT_RESET is True or if the CTL enumeration equals
RESET_CMD.

Override Control
CL_OVR, a dominant override stop, STP_OVR, override setpoint/command, CMD_
OVR, and a manual reject input enumeration, MN_REJ. The following table provides the
possible values of the enumerations.
CL_OVR, OP_OVR, STP_OVR, and CMD_OVR, and MN_REJ Enumerations

Name Override Option Description
When DIG_OUT_P is True, OP_OVR, CL_OVR, or STP_OVR will open, close, or stop
the movement of the valve, respectively, and prevent it from reopening/reclosing/moving
in any mode. Note that STP_OVR is the dominate override. When ANA_OUT_P is True
and CMD_OVR indicates Override Active, the valve will move to the position assigned to
the OV input. If the valve is in auto mode (AUTO is True), it rejects to manual and the
OVR_OP, CL_OVR, STP_OVR, and CMD_OVR (if used) are driven from an
OVERRIDE block. Each connected input of the OVERRIDE block has the ability (when
enabled) to be blocked by the HMI operator, which is accessed from associated tab of the
permit HMI screen display. When OP_OVR, CL_OVR, STP_OVR, or CMD_OVR
enumeration contains BLOCK, the HMI operator has blocked at least one override. M_
O_V_JOG_V2 does not use the block information, but passes it to the HMI for display.

Force Control
The block provides force input enumerations force open, OP_FRC, force close, CL_FRC,
force stop, STP_FRC, and force setpoint/command, CMD_FRC. The following table
provides the possible values of the enumerations.
CL_FRC, OP_FRC, STP_FRC, and CMD_FRC Enumerations

Name Force Option Description
When DIG_OUT_P is True, OP_FRC, CL_FRC, or STP_FRC force the valve to open,
close, or stop in any mode except when OP_OVR, CL_OVR, or STP_OVR indicate
Override Active. When ANA_OUT_P is True and CMD_FRC indicates Force Active, the
valve will move to the position assigned to the FV input except when CMD_OVR
indicate Override Active. The valve does not reject to manual if a force occurs.
OP_FRC, CL_FRC, STP_FRC, and CMD_FRC (If used) are driven from a FORCE
screen display. When OP_FRC, CL_FRC, STP_FRC, or CMD_FRC enumeration
contains BLOCK, the HMI operator has blocked at least one force. M_O_V_JOG_V2
does not use the block information, but passes it to the HMI for display.
The block provides permissive input enumerations AU_PMT, OP_PMT, CL_PMT. The
following table provides the possible values of the enumerations.

bypass information, but passes it to the HMI for display.
Valve Diagnostic Alarms
When the DIG_CTLR_P is True, the block will generate a failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_
A, a failed-to-close alarm, FL_CL_A, and a failed-to-stop alarm, FL_STP_A, if the valve
fails to open or close, in the time specified by the fail to open time, FL_OP_T, or fail to
close time, FL_CL_T, or the valve movement fails to stop in 3 seconds, respectively.
These alarms are reset when FAULT_RESET is True or if the CTL enumeration equals
RESET_CMD.

31 Median Select (MEDSEL)
Block Category: MEDSEL, Analog Operations
Note Legacy Status — The MEDSEL block is not supported for use in new Mark VIe
V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the MEDSEL_V2 block; it provides
The Median Select (MEDSEL) block selects the median or average of three analog
signals based on the enumerated value of the input TS and transfers the selection to the
output ({Device}). The user has the option to disable up to two transmitters. If one
transmitter is disabled, the output will be either the minimum, maximum, or average of
the two remaining transmitters based on the enumerated value of the input DS. If the one
transmitter allowed property, 1XMTR_P, is True, two transmitters can be disabled and the
output will be the value of the remaining transmitter.
Refer to GEI-100682, Mark When the quality status of transmitter A is in the BAD region then ABQ and AD become
VIe Controller Standard Block True and transmitter A is automatically disabled and depending on the DS enumeration
Library, the Status Monitoring selected, the average, minimum, or maximum of inputs B and C is transferred to OUT.
(STATUS_MONITORING) Once the quality status of transmitter A becomes GOOD or UNCERTAIN, ABQ becomes
block. False. If AU_EN_P is False, input A remains disabled (AD remains True) and must be
enabled by an HMI operator. If AU_EN_P is True and the quality status of transmitter A
becomes GOOD or UNCERTAIN and the value of input A is within the deviation limits
set by the user, AD becomes False and A is automatically enabled. This concept also
applies to inputs B and C.
AU_EN_P does not have any A transmitter can be manually disabled through the pop-up MEDSEL faceplate. If input
effect on the enabling of a A, B, and C are all enabled and have a GOOD or UNCERTAIN quality status and A is

manually disabled input must input A is disabled. If input A is enabled and B is disabled then BD is True. If input B is
be manually enabled. enabled and C is disabled then CD is True.
Note The HMI operator is allowed to disable one transmitter at any time from the
faceplate when 1XMTR_P, is False. When 1XMTR_P, is True, the operator is allowed to
disable up to two transmitters.
Output Bad Quality Indication (OBQ) functionality is as follows:

If 1XMTR_P, is True, when three transmitters are disabled and/or in a BAD quality state,
OBQ becomes True, the default value, DF, is automatically transferred to the output,
quality status of the output is set to NOT_LIMITED-BAD[0], and MODE is set to
DEFAULT.
If AU_EN_P is True, OBQ becomes False when the quality status of any input becomes
GOOD or UNCERTAIN. The GOOD or UNCERTAIN quality input will be enabled and
transferred to the output. However, if AU_EN_P is False, OUT will be equal to DF until
the HMI operator manually enables the GOOD or UNCERTAIN quality input.

If 1XMTR_P, is False:
When two or three transmitters are disabled and/or in a BAD quality state, OBQ becomes
True, the default value, DF, is automatically transferred to output, quality status of OUT is
set to NOT_LIMITED-BAD[0], and MODE is set to DEFAULT. If AU_EN_P is True,
OBQ becomes False when the quality status of 2 inputs become GOOD or UNCERTAIN.
The GOOD or UNCERTAIN quality inputs will be enabled and based on the DS
enumeration selected, the average, minimum, or maximum of the GOOD or
UNCERTAIN quality inputs is transferred to the output. However, if AU_EN_P is False,
the output will be equal to DF until the HMI operator manually enables the GOOD or
UNCERTAIN quality inputs.
Block status modifications: When OBQ is True, the quality status of OUT is NOT_LIMITED-BAD[0].

However, if the block is calculating the average of all three transmitters (all three
transmitters are Enabled and TS = AVG), a transmitter that gets a high deviation will be
automatically disabled. It can be enabled by the operator or automatically (AU_EN_P =
True) when the absolute difference between the deviant input and the output is less than
the value of DL minus DLDB (deviation limit dead band).
The rate of change of the output is only restricted by the value of RATE when the block
RATE is in engineering units per second. For example, if 1XMTR_P = True, RATE = 1,
A = 10 (enabled), B = 25 (disabled), and C = 50 (disabled), so MODE = A, and the mode
of the block is changed by enabling input B and disabling input A. Now, MODE = B and
the output will increase from 10 to 25 engineering units in 15 seconds. At this point, the
output equals B, the block operating mode transition from A to B is complete and the rate
of change restriction on the output is removed until the block operating mode changes,
again.

Inserting this block into the application program will generate a window titled Enter the
Attribute Instance Values, prompting the user to Enter Device Description, Enter Device
Name, and Enter Format Specification in the Values column of the window. The block
will then automatically create the variables associated with the block and provide the
appropriate attributes for each variable (for example, Type and Format Spec variables that
need to be on EGD will be automatically placed on the $Default EGD page, and so on).
Inserting a MEDSEL into the application program displays the following window.

32 Median Select_Version 2 (MEDSEL_V2)
Block Category: MEDSEL_V2, Analog Operations
The Median Select_Version 2 (MEDSEL_V2) block selects the median or average of
three analog signals based on the enumerated value of the input TS and transfers the
selection to the output ({Device}). The user has the option to disable up to two
transmitters. If one transmitter is disabled, the output will be either the minimum,
maximum, or average of the two remaining transmitters based on the enumerated value of
the input DS. If the one transmitter allowed property, 1XMTR_P, is True, two transmitters
can be disabled and the output will be the value of the remaining transmitter.
Refer to GEI-100682, Mark When the quality status of transmitter A is in the BAD region then ABQ and AD become
VIe Controller Standard Block True and transmitter A is automatically disabled and depending on the DS enumeration
Library, the Status Monitoring selected, the average, minimum, or maximum of inputs B and C is transferred to OUT.
(STATUS_MONITORING) Once the quality status of transmitter A becomes GOOD or UNCERTAIN, ABQ becomes
block. False. If AU_EN_P is False, input A remains disabled (AD remains True) and must be
enabled by an HMI operator. If AU_EN_P is True and the quality status of transmitter A
becomes GOOD or UNCERTAIN and the value of input A is within the deviation limits
set by the user, AD becomes False and A is automatically enabled. This concept also
applies to inputs B and C.
AU_EN_P does not have any A transmitter can be manually disabled through the pop-up MEDSEL_V2 faceplate. If

be manually enabled. enabled and C is disabled then CD is True.
Note The HMI operator is allowed to disable one transmitter at any time from the
disable up to two transmitters.
Output Bad Quality Indication (OBQ) functionality is as follows:

If 1XMTR_P, is True, when three transmitters are disabled and/or in a BAD quality state,
OBQ becomes True, the default value, DF, is automatically transferred to the output,
quality status of the output is set to NOT_LIMITED-BAD[0], and MODE is set to
DEFAULT.
If AU_EN_P is True, OBQ becomes False when the quality status of any input becomes
GOOD or UNCERTAIN. The GOOD or UNCERTAIN quality input will be enabled and
transferred to the output. However, if AU_EN_P is False, OUT will be equal to DF until
the HMI operator manually enables the GOOD or UNCERTAIN quality input.

If 1XMTR_P, is False, when two or three transmitters are disabled and/or in a BAD
quality state, OBQ becomes True, the default value, DF, is automatically transferred to
output, quality status of OUT is set to NOT_LIMITED-BAD[0], and MODE is set to
DEFAULT.
If AU_EN_P is True, OBQ becomes False when the quality status of 2 inputs become
GOOD or UNCERTAIN. The GOOD or UNCERTAIN quality inputs will be enabled and
based on the DS enumeration selected, the average, minimum, or maximum of the GOOD
or UNCERTAIN quality inputs is transferred to the output. However, if AU_EN_P is
False, the output will be equal to DF until the HMI operator manually enables the GOOD
or UNCERTAIN quality inputs.
Block status modification: When OBQ is True, the quality status of OUT is NOT_LIMITED-BAD[0].
For further details on relational blocks, refer to GEI-100682, Mark VIe Controller Standard Block
Library, the Status Monitoring (STATUS_MONITORING) block.
Note A manually disabled transmitter may be manually enabled, regardless of its

deviation status, unless the block is in average mode. Refer to the section, Deviation
Alarms.

33 Multiplexer (MUX)
Block Category: MUX, Sequencing
The Multiplexer (MUX) block is an expandable block that outputs one of up to 32 input
signals based on the value of SEL. SEL must be an integer number between 1 and the
number of the N’th input. An invalid SEL (less than one or greater than the N’th input
number) will be disregarded and the current selection will be maintained.
MUX Block
When SEL is one, OUT equals IN1. When SEL is two, OUT equals IN2 and so on. The
inputs and output data types must be the same.
Boolean, Integer, Double Integer, Real, Long Real, Unsigned Integer, Unsigned Double
Integer. The default data type is REAL. Refer to the section, Changing Data Type of a
Variant Block.
Block status modification: If SEL is determined to be invalid, the status output will be
NOT_LIMITED-LAST_USABLE_VALUE-UNCERTAIN [68] or NOT_
LIMITED-BAD [0] if the last usable value’s status is in the bad range.

34 Override (OVERRIDE)
Block Category: OVERRIDE, Permits and Overrides
Note Legacy Status — The OVERRIDE block is not supported for use in new Mark
V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, LOGIC_BUILDER or LOGIC_BUILDER_
SC block (use if first out/state change feature is required); these blocks provide equivalent
functionality. Refer to GEI-100682, Mark VIe Controller Standard Block Library.
The Override (OVERRIDE) block is an expandable block of up to 32 override inputs

which functions like an OR block. Each connected input can be blocked by the HMI
operator from the override display, which is accessed from Override tab of the associated
permit screen. This blocking function must be enabled by setting OVnBE to True. If
override blocking is enabled for an input, an event is generated on the HMI alarm/event
screen whenever the operator blocks the override.
When FO_EN is True, the first out option is enabled. This causes the block to store the
number of the first input that becomes True in the output FO. The FO value is stored until
the HMI operator resets it from the override display. After a RESET, FO is 0 until one of
the connected inputs is True for at least one scan. A blocked Override is not considered in
the FO detection.
Each input has the capability of inheriting the description of a connected global variable
or a global variable connected through a NOT block. When a connection is made to one
description is undesirable, it must be disabled by setting the Inherit Description option to
False in the input variable properties. The description can be replaced with a desirable
description by entering an appropriate description in the description field of the input
variable of the OVERRIDE block (replace OVERRIDE #1 with the desired override
description for the source connected to OV1). The description is not copied from the
connected variable immediately; the input's description is set when the library or device
Override Type (OVR_TYPE) enumerations are as follows:
OVR_TYPE Enumerations
Description Override Option Description
CL_OVR Close override
OP_OVR Open override
INT_OVR Intermediate override
TRP_OVER Trip override
MN_REJ Manual reject
STP_OVER Stop override
CMD_OVR Command/Setpoint override

OUT pin enumeration values for OUT are provided in the following table.
OUT Enumerations
Enumeration Override Output Description
Inserting this block into the application program will generate a pop-up window titled
Enter the Attribute Instance Values. This prompts the user to Enter Device Name and
Select OvrType in the Value column of the window (the override type is a drop-down
menu selection). The block will then automatically create the necessary variables and
provides the appropriate attributes for each variable (for example, Type and Format Spec
variables that need to be on EGD will be automatically placed on the $Default EGD page,
and so on).
Note Each combination of Device Name and Override enumeration type selected used in
a controller must be unique.
If additional Pin Groups are added, the necessary new variables will be automatically
created during a build of the application program.
Inserting an OVERRIDE into the application software, for example, displays the
following window in the ToolboxST application.

Variables. The previous example generates Global pins. Once the object has been added
successfully, the block displays in the ToolboxST application.

OVERRIDE Block
Override blocks have a mode There are three things to remember when installing an OVERRIDE block. The first is that
for manual rejects. the Device Name of the block should match the name of the block that it will be
connected to. If this block is controlling an MOV block, then the names should match. If
the blocks are connected correctly, but named incorrectly, the block will work normally,
but the HMI screen cannot tell you why something is or isn’t overridden.
The other thing to remember is to select the correct Override Type. If you select MN_
REJ, but connect it to a CL_OVR, then the override will act like an close override, but
show up as a manual reject.
Input pin names are in the form the Device Value OvrType Value.pin name.
Output pin names are in the form Device Value OvrType Value.OUT and Device Value
OvrType Value.FO, Device Value OvrType Value.OV, Device Value OvrType Value.OVB.
Example
Note The defaults here are for example only. Be sure to change the block name.

An OVERRIDE block does not directly have an HMI object. The block displays on the
Permits faceplate when used. The following figure displays the Permits faceplate for a
PID_MA block. This shows the presence of the OVERRIDE block, as well as a
description from the controlling variable. The override description displays as green
because the override is not active.

35 Override Station Enhanced (OVR_ST_ENH)
Block Category: OVR_ST_ENH, Controls (DCS)
Note Legacy Status — The OVR_ST_ENH block is not supported for use in new
Mark VIe control systems (ControlST software suite V05.02 or later). It is in place to
support the maintenance of legacy Mark VIe control systems (prior to ControlST software
suite V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block; it
provides equivalent functionality.
The Override Station Enhanced (OVR_ST_ENH) block is an enhanced override station

that controls up to three cascaded or non-cascaded PID_MA_ENH block loops. The
inputs and outputs of the OVR_ST_ENH block can be monitored and controlled by the
operator using the CIMPLICITY graphical interface. The block’s various functional
capabilities are defined by three separate enumerated inputs: Block Option (BLOCK_
OPT), Mode Option (MODE_OPT), and Station Option (STATION_OPT). The user must
first identify the functions needed for the application for which the block will be used,
and then choose the appropriate enumeration for each input to provide the desired block
functionality. The Enhanced block performs quality status monitoring of input and output
signals and propagates the quality status to the outputs: control variable output (CVO),
CV, and SV.
BLOCK_OPT enumerations are as follows:
BLOCK_OPT Input Enumerations

Name Description
OVR_ST_MA OVR_ST with manual / auto setpoint control
OVR_ST_REM OVR_ST with manual / auto control and local / remote setpoint
OVR_ST_EXT OVR_ST with manual / auto control and external setpoint
OVR_ST_MA — used only when manual / auto setpoint control is needed. It sets the
output property (OVR_ST_P) to True.
OVR_ST_REM — used when a remote setpoint value is needed and sets the output
property (OVR_ST_REM_P) to True. The remote setpoint is connected to the OVR_ST_
ENH block remote setpoint (RSP) input. This enumeration permits a local setpoint and a
remote setpoint, either of which can be selected by the operator using the graphical
interface, or by the OVR_ST_ENH block remote setpoint select pulsed (RSP_SEL) input.
OVR_ST_EXT — used when an external setpoinat input value is to be used as the
setpoint value and sets the output property (OVR_ST_EXT_P) to True. The remote
setpoint is connected to the RSP input. This enumeration does not allow a local setpoint,
only an external setpoint that is connected to the RSP input. When this enumeration is
used, the operator cannot select a local setpoint value from the graphical interface and the
RSP_SEL input is disabled.

Mode Option (MODE_OPT) enumerations are as follows:

the section, HMI Tagout. True, the block will be put into manual mode and the manual reject alarm (MAN_REJ_A)
will be activated. The operator’s ability to switch to auto mode is disabled until the block
is removed from lockout mode. Additionally, the local auto setpoint will track the process
variable (PV) input when the block is in lockout mode.
Note The lockout indication is provided for indication only. This action will not lock out
the equipment, it will only indicate lockout status. Follow the owner's lockout procedures
to safely lockout equipment.
POS — used when feedback is available from the controlled device. Normally, feedback
is the valve position feedback, but the POS enumeration can also be used for motor speed
or a variety of other device feedbacks. The position feedback value is connected to the
block POS_CV input and, if the MODE_OPT enumeration SPLIT is selected, the position
feedback from the secondary device is connected to the POS_SV block input.

When the POS enumeration is used, the block POSFB_P output is True, the feedback
value is displayed on the CIMPLICITY faceplate, and, when the cursor is placed over the
feedback area, CV Pos Feedback = the instantaneous value) displays.
POS Enumeration Faceplate

SPLIT — indicates that the controller will output to two different devices using block
outputs, CV and SV, either or both of which may be characterized by a 13 element array
that enables each output to be customized to fit the requirements of a specific control
application.
The default characterization arrays for both CV and SV are linear and are as follows:
• CV_X and SV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• CV_Y and SV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
If the CV_X 13 element array does not contain the same 13 array elements in the same
order as the CV_Y array, or the SV_X 13 element array does not contain the same 13
array elements in the same order as the SV_Y array, the characterization property
(CHAR_P) will be True and the graphical interface displays a button in the lower, right
corner of the faceplate.

When the cursor is placed over the feedback area, Show Characterization displays.
SPLIT Enumeration Faceplate

The following characterized outputs are applied:
• CV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• CV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• SV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000

SELECT_2_INPUTS Station output is selected from two inputs
MIN_2_INPUTS Station output is minimum of two inputs
MAX_2_INPUTS Station output is maximum of two inputs
SELECT_3_INPUTS Station output is selected from three inputs
MIN_3_INPUTS Station output is minimum of three inputs
MAX_3_INPUTS Station output is maximum of three inputs
SELECT_2_INPUTS — indicates that two inputs, CVI1 and CVI2, can be selected by
the maintained inputs, SEL1 and SEL2, and used to calculate the outputs, CVO, CV, and,
if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_ENH block. If both SEL1 and SEL2 inputs are False,
the block defaults to the value of CVI1. If both SEL1 and SEL2 inputs are True, the block
uses the value of CVI1. When this enumeration is used, the three input property output
(3_INPUT_P) is False.
MIN_2_INPUTS — indicates that the minimum of the two inputs, CVI1 and CVI2, are
used to calculate the outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_ENH
block. The inputs SEL1 and SEL2 are ignored. When this enumeration is used, the 3_
INPUT_P output is False.
MAX_2_INPUTS — indicates that the maximum of the two inputs, CVI1 and CVI2, are
used to calculate the outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_ENH
SELECT_3_INPUTS — indicates that three inputs, CVI1, CVI2, and CVI3, can be
selected by the maintained inputs SEL1, SEL2, and SEL3, and used to calculate the
outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_ENH block. If SEL1, SEL2 and
SEL3 inputs are False, the block defaults to the value of CVI1. If more than one of the
selected inputs is True, the first True value in the following order has precedence: SEL1;
SEL2; then SEL3. When this enumeration is used, the 3_INPUT_P output is True.
MIN_3_INPUTS — indicates that the minimum of the three inputs, CVI1CVI2, and
CVI3, are used to calculate the outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_
ENH block. The inputs SEL1, SEL2, and SEL3 are ignored. When this enumeration is
used, the 3_INPUT_P output is True.
MAX_3_INPUTS — indicates that the maximum of the three inputs, CVI1, CVI2, and
CVI3, is used to calculate the outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_
ENH block. The inputs SEL1, SEL2, and SEL3 are ignored. When this enumeration is
used, the 3_INPUT_P output is True.

CVI Selected input enumerations are as follows:
The CVI operator graphical interface uses the NSEL1, NSEL2, and NSEL3 outputs to
indicate which input is being used to calculate the block outputs. The block ensures only
one of the three outputs is False, which identifies the input being used.
OVR_ST_ENH Faceplate with CVI2 Selected

OVR_CTRL1, OVR_CTRL2, and OVR_CTRL3
OVR_ST_ENH block outputs, OVR_CTRL1, OVR_CTRL2, and, if applicable, OVR_
CTRL3, are connected to the corresponding OVR_CTRL inputs of the PID_MA_ENH
blocks. Information is passed from the OVR_ST_ENH block using these outputs to
control the method each connected PID_MA_ENH block uses to calculate the CVO
output. The individual CVO values of the PID_MA_ENH blocks are used by the control
variable inputs, CVI1, CVI2, and, if applicable, CVI3, of the OVR_ST_ENH block to
determine the output values (CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV) of the OVR_ST_ENH
block.

OVR_CTRL1, OVR_CTRL2, and OVR_CTRL3 Output Enumerations
Name Description
NONE None
OVR_CTRL OVR_ST in use
OVR_CTRL-ER OVR_ST in use and external reset
OVR_CTRL-TRACK OVR_ST in use and track
OVR_CTRL-SELECTED OVR_ST in use and selected
OVR_CTRL-ER-SELECTED OVR_ST in use and external reset and

selected
OVR_CTRL-TRACK-SELECTED OVR_ST in use and track and selected
NONE — default enumeration for all three outputs but is never used when the block is
running in the control sequence code.
OVR_CTRL — is always present when the OVR_ST_ENH block is running in control
application code. It transfers information from the OVR_ST_ENH block to the connected
PID_MA_ENH blocks. OVR_CTRL relays information to the connected PID_MA_ENH
blocks that the OVR_ST_ENH block is controlling.
External reset (ER) — sent to the PID_MA_ENH blocks that are not selected for
calculating the OVR_ST_ENH output, CVO, when STATION_OPT contains MIN or
MAX and OVR_ST_ENH is not in tracking mode (TK_OUT is False). This enumeration
causes the PID_MA_ENH block to use the external reset value (EV) to calculate its
outputs.
The TRACK concept also TRACK — applies when the following criteria are met:
applies OVR_CTRL2 and
OVR_CTRL3. • Station option (STATION_OPT) is SELECT_2_INPUTS or SELECT_3_INPUTS
and the control variable input 1 is not selected (NSEL1 is True)
• Track status (TK_OUT) is True
• Control variable input 1 is selected (NSEL1 is False and the process high or low
limits have been enabled (EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH)
• EN_PROC_LIM_LOW is True) and CVI1 exceeds either the process high limits
(PROC_LIM_HIGH) or low enabled limits (PROC_LIM_LOW)
When the criteria are met, the enumerated output, OVR_CTRL1, contains TRACK,
indicating the override station is commanding PID_MA_ENH to calculate the outputs
from its tracking value (TK) input.
SELECTED — indicates that PID_MA_ENH block control variable output (CVO) is
selected by OVR_ST_ENHand used to calculate CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV outputs
of OVR_ST_ENH.
Process high limits (EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH) and process low limits (EN_PROC_
LIM_LOW) — allow the user to control process regulation limits while allowing force
and override values to operate independently on the OVR_ST_ENH lower (L) and upper
(H) limits. The user can limit the process control range further using PROC_LIM_LOW
and PROC_LIM_HIGH parameters, which are enabled by their respective enable
parameters, EN_PROC_LIM_LOW and EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH. When EN_PROC_
LIM_LOW or EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH are True, PROC_LIM_LOW and PROC_LIM_
HIGH replace the corresponding L or H limit values.
Setpoint High (SH) and Setpoint Low (SL)— limits values (block inputs) bound the
block output, setpoint (SP).

Setpoint adjustment ramp rate (SR)— input value restricts the SP output rate of change
in units/sec. The SP output is passed without rate limit restrictions directly to the SP when
the controller is powered up.
Internal Setpoint (SI) — the value of the setpoint before the SR is applied. For example,
if the setpoint changes from 0 to 10 instantaneously, then SI changes from 0 to 10
instantaneously and SP ramps from 0 to 10 in 10 seconds if SR is set at 1 unit/sec. SI is
also bound by the SH and SL inputs.
Setpoint Track (SP_TRACK) — if True, tracks PV in manual mode and RSP in
auto-remote mode. If the SP_TRACK parameter is False, the setpoint tracks RSP in
remote mode and RS is True. Otherwise, the operator controls the setpoint value using the
graphical interface.
The output setpoint (SP) contains status. The status value for SP is equal to the minimum
of:
• The status of PV if SP_TRACK is True, else 128.

• The status of RSP when RSP_BQ is True, else 128.
Remote Select (RSP_SEL) — a pulsed input that instructs the block to use the remote
setpoint (RSP) input to calculate block outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV when the
block is in auto mode. The input must be pulsed.
Manual adjustment rate (MR) — restricts the rate of change of the CVO in units/sec.
Tracking status (TK_OUT) — block output set to True when the following input
conditions are met:
• RSP input bad quality

• Output bad quality
• Selected CVI input override or bad quality
• Priority increase or decrease
• Manual mode
• Force command
• Override command
• Increase or decrease inhibit
• Lock
• MN_REJ input enumeration contains OVR
• Track command (CMD_TK) input contains TRACK
• RS output changes state, causing a setpoint realignment
• Auto mode (AUTO) output changes state, causing a setpoint realignment
• Permit to modulate (MOD_PMT) is False (enumeration contains no permit [NO_
PERM]).

CVO also includes CV_X and, When TK_OUT is True, the OVR_ ST_ENH is in tracking mode and block output CVO
if applicable, SV_X, for tracks the appropriate value based on the parameter that set TK_OUT to True. The value
characterized outputs CV and used for tracking may be the override value (OV), the force value (FV) while a priority

increase rate (PR_INC_RT) or decrease rate (PR_DEC_RT). The value used for tracking
The H and L values are may also be the track value (TV) or the initial position (INIT_POS) value. If there is no
dependent on enable process priority increase or decrease active, PR_INC and PR_DEC are False, and, if an inhibit
limit inputs EN_PROC_LIM_ increase or decrease command is present, the block output INC_INH or DEC_INH is
HIGH and EN_PROC_LIM_ True, then TK_OUT is True as the value of CVO modulates in the direction of the inhibit
LOW, and the PROC_LIM_ request.
HIGH and PROC_LIM_LOW
Auto Permit (AU_PMT) input is driven by an auto permit-type block that associates its
limits, respectively.
input status with the graphical interface of the PID_MA_ENH block, which allows the
operator to view the individual inputs that provide a permit to place the block in auto
mode. The AU_PMT graphical interface enables the operator to bypass logic driven
inputs to obtain an auto permit condition through the graphical interface.
AU_PMT Input Enumerations

Name Description
NO_PERM-NO_BYPASS No permit and no permit is bypassed
PERM-NO_BYPASS Permit is okay and no permit is bypassed
PERM-BYPASS Permit okay and a permit is bypassed
NO_PERM — indicates the permit that allows the block to be placed in auto mode has
not been met, and the auto permit (PMT_AU) output is False.
PERM — indicates all block permits to be placed in auto mode have been met and PMT_
# indicates the number can be AU is True, provided there is also no bad quality detected (OBQ, selected CVI#_BQ,
1, 2, or 3 for CVI. selected CVI#_OV, and RSP_BQ are False) when the reject to manual input (BQ_MAN)
is True and block outputs REJ_MN, OVR_CMD, LOCK, and FF_IMAN are all False.
NO-BYPASS — indicates the operator has not invoked a bypass of any of the associated
logic driven inputs to the AU_PMT block. When this enumeration is used, the auto permit
bypass (PMT_AUB) output is False.
BYPASS — indicates the operator has invoked a bypass of at least one of the associated
logic driven inputs to the AU_PMT block. When this enumeration is used, PMT_AUB is
True.

Modulate Permit (MOD_PMT) input is driven by a modulate permit-type block that
associates its input status with the OVR_ST_ENH block graphical interface. This enables
the operator to view the individual inputs that provide a permit that allows the block to
modulate the output. The MOD_PMT graphical interface enables the operator to bypass
logic driven inputs to obtain a modulate permit condition through the graphical interface.
MOD_PMT Enumerations
Name Description
PERM-NO_BYPASS Permit okay and no permit is bypassed
PERM-BYPASS Permit is okay and a permit is bypassed
NO_PERM — indicates a permit that allows the block to modulate the output, CVO, has
not been met and the permit to modulate (PMT_MOD) output is False. If the MOD_PMT
input enumeration contains NO_PERM, then CVO equals the INIT_POS input value.
PERM — indicates all permits that allow the block to modulate the output, CVO, have
been met and PMT_MOD is True.
NO-BYPASS— indicates the operator has not invoked a bypass of any of the associated
logic driven inputs to the MOD_PMT block. When this enumeration is used, the modulate
permit bypass (PMT_MODB) output is True.
logic driven inputs to the MOD_PMT block. When this enumeration is used, PMT_
MODB is True.
Command Force (CMD_FRC) input is driven by a force-type block that associates its
input status with the OVR_ST_ENH block graphical interface, which enables the operator
to view the individual inputs that place the block into force mode. The CMD_FRC
graphical interface enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to release the force
condition through the graphical interface.
CMD_FRC Enumerations
Name Description
NO_FORCE-NO_BLOCK No force and no force is blocked
NO_FORCE — indicates no force command is active and the force command output
(FRC_CMD) is False.
FORCE — indicates a force command is active and, if the CMD_OVR enumerated input
does not contain OVR (OVR_CMD is False), then FRC_CMD is True.
NO-BLOCK — indicates the operator has not invoked a block of any of the associated
logic driven inputs to the force-type block. When this enumeration is used, the
FORCE-BLOCK output, FRC_CMDB, is False.
BLOCK — indicates the operator has invoked a block of at least one of the associated
logic driven inputs to the force-type block and sets FRC_CMDB to True.
If the OVR_ST_ENH block CMD_FRC input enumeration contains FORCE, FRC_CMD
exists and the output CVO moves to the FV input value.

Note An override command (the CMD_OVR enumeration contains OVR) has
precedence over a force command.
Command Track (CMD_TK) input is driven by a track-type block that associates its
input status with the OVR_ST_ENH block graphical interface, which allows the operator
to view the individual inputs that place the block into track mode. The track graphical
interface enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to release the track condition
through the graphical interface.
CMD_TK Enumerations
Name Description
NO_TRACK-NO_BLOCK No track and no track is blocked
TRACK-NO_BLOCK Track active and no track is blocked
NO_TRACK-BLOCK No track and a track is blocked

logic driven inputs to the track-type block. When this enumeration is used, the
TRACK-BLOCKED output, TK_CMDB, is False.
logic driven inputs to the track-type block. When this enumeration is used, TK_CMDB is
True.
If the OVR_ST_ENH block is in Auto mode and a validated CMD_TK input enumeration
contains TRACK, then a track command exists and enumerated outputs OVR_CTRL1,
OVR_CTRL2, and OVR_CTRL3 contain TRACK, commanding the connected PID_
MA_ENH blocks to tracking mode.

Command Override (CMD_OVR) input is driven by an override-type block that
associates its input status with the OVR_ST_ENH block graphical interface, which allows
the operator to view the individual inputs that place the block in override mode. The
override graphical interface enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to release the
override condition through the graphical interface.
CMD_OVR Enumerations
Name Description
NO_OVR-NO_BLOCK No override and no override is blocked
NO_OVR-BLOCK No override and an override is blocked

logic driven inputs to the override type block. When this enumeration is used, OVR_
CMDB is False.
logic driven inputs to the override-type block. When this enumeration is used, OVR_
CMDB is True.
If the OVR_ST_ENH block is in auto mode and a validated CMD_OVR input
enumeration contains OVR, an override command exists and the manual reject alarm
(MN_REJ_A) is activated and the output moves to the input value of the override value
(OV). The OVR_ST_ENH block is removed from auto mode and placed in manual mode
and the local auto setpoint, if available, tracks PV.
Note An override command (the enumeration of CMD_OVR contains OVR) has

Control Word (CTL) enumerations are as follows:

enumeration.
AUTO_CMD — switches the block into auto mode from manual mode using the
graphical interface faceplate. The auto setpoint is local, remote, or external depending on
the BLOCK_OPT enumeration and the operator selection, if applicable, is local or
remote. When the block is in auto mode the output, AUTO, is True.
MANUAL_CMD — switches the block into manual mode from auto mode using the
graphical interface faceplate. The operator manually sets the output to the controlled
device. When the block is in manual mode, AUTO is True.
LOCK_CMD — indicates the block is in lock mode, which occurs when the block
output, CVO, is within 5 units of the initial position (INIT_POS) value. This enumeration
removes the block from auto mode, places it in manual mode, and sets MN_REJ_A to
True. When the block is in lock mode, the output, LOCK, is True.
UNLOCK_CMD — removes the block from lock mode and sets LOCK to False.
REMOTE_CMD — directs the block (when in auto mode) to use the RS value
connected to block input pin RSP as the auto setpoint. When the block is in remote mode,
the RS output is True.
LOCAL_CMD — directs the block (when in auto mode) to use the operator defined
local setpoint. When the block is in local mode, RS is False.
Manual Reject (MN_REJ) input is driven by an override-type block that associates its
to view the individual inputs that place the block in manual reject mode. The override
graphical interface enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to release the override
condition through the graphical interface.

MN_REJ enumerations are as follows:

NO_OVR — indicates no manual reject command is active and the manual reject output,
REJ_MN, is False.
OVR — indicates a manual reject command is active and REJ_MN is True.
logic driven inputs to the override-type block. When NO-BLOCK is active, the output,
REJ_MNB, is False.
logic driven inputs to the override-type block. The BLOCK enumeration is not used by
OVR_ST_ENH, but the block passes the information it to the graphical interface for
display purposes using REJ_MNB. When a block is active, REJ_MNB is True.
If the OVR_ST_ENH block is in auto mode and a validated MN_REJ input enumeration
contains OVR, then the block is removed from auto mode and placed in manual mode,
and MN_REJ_A is activated, and enumerated outputs OVR_CTRL1, OVR_CTRL2, and
OVR_CTRL3 contain TRACK, which commands the connected PID_MA_ENH blocks
into tracking mode.

NO_CASC No cascade

Note Although the enumerated inputs contain all enumerations discussed in this section,
the OVR_ST_ENH block is only affected when the input enumerations contain TUNE_
INNER or TUNE_OUTER.
All enumerated values in this section transfer information between cascaded PID_MA_
ENH blocks, but the OVR_ST_ENH block only needs the TUNE_INNER or TUNE_
OUTER enumeration to ensure proper block functionality.
The enumerated OVR_ST_ENH block inputs, CASC_IN1, CASC_IN2, and, if

applicable, CASC_IN3, receive information from the PID_MA_ENH block output,
override controlled (CASC_OUT). The enumeration information instructs the OVR_ST_
ENH block on how to properly calculate the value and status of outputs CVO, CV, and, if
applicable, SV.
NO_CASC — is the default value but has no effect on the OVR_ST_ENH block.
However, PID_MA_ENH output CASC_OUT is never NO_CASC when the controller is
running. If no connection is made to the CASC_IN3 input, the default enumeration of
CASC_IN3 is NO_CASC and the STATION_OPT input enumeration indicates three
inputs are not being used. Of the three inputs being used, property (3_INPUT_P) is False.
The following blocks are not in the OVR_ST_ENH block:
• DIRECT
• REVERSE
• TRACK
• LOW_LIMITED
• HIGH_LIMITED
TUNE_INNER — indicates the operator has selected the override controlled inner loop
of a cascaded PID_MA_ENH block from the graphical interface to be in tuning mode.
TUNE_OUTER — indicates the operator has selected the override controlled outer loop
of a cascaded PID_MA_ENH block from the graphical interface to be in tuning mode. If
a non-cascaded PID_MA_ENH block is used in an override control scenario with an
OVR_ST_ENH block, this enumeration is contained in the CASC_OUT output of the
PID_MA_ENH block when it is placed in tuning mode.

Tuning Mode of Override Controlled PID_MA_ENH Blocks
When an override controlled PID_MA_ENH block is in tuning mode, the corresponding
OVR_ST_ENH enumerated input, CASC_IN1, CASC_IN2, or CASC_IN3, contains
TUNE_INNER, TUNE_OUTER, or TUNE_INNER-TUNE_OUTER. The OVR_ST_
ENH block selects the PID_MA_ENH block in tuning mode for output. If more than one
of the controlled PID_MA_ENH blocks are in tuning mode at the same time, the input
used to calculate the output of the OVR_ST_ENH block is prioritized by CASC_IN1,
CASC_IN2, and CASC_IN3 (in this order), which contain the enumerations TUNE_
INNER, TUNE_OUTER or TUNE_INNER-TUNE_OUTER.
Priority Increase (PR_INC) and Decrease Commands (PR_DEC)
Whenever the OVR_ST_ENH block input PR_INC is True, the output CVO increases to
the high limit (H) value at the rate defined by the PR_INC rate value, PR_INC_RT
(default value is 1 unit/sec).
Whenever the OVR_ST_ENH block input PR_DEC is True and PR_INC is False, the
output CVO decreases to the low limit (L) value at the rate defined by the PR_DEC rate
value, PR_DEC_RT (default value is 1 unit/sec).
Program both inputs, PR_INC and PR_DEC, to be mutually exclusive events. However, if
at any time they both become True, then PR_INC is the dominate input and the CVO
value increases to the H value at the rate defined by the PR_INC rate value,
PR_INC_RT.
Note A force command (CMD_FRC contains FORCE), or an override command

(CMD_OVR contains OVR) have precedence over the PR_INC and PR_DEC inputs.
Inhibit Increase (INH_INC) and Decrease Commands (INH_DEC)

OVR_ST_ENH is capable of inhibiting the output control variable (CVO) from
increasing or decreasing in value without a force or override command (FORCE from the
enumerated CMD_FRC input or OVR from the enumerated CMD_OVR input).
Inhibiting the increase of the CVO output occurs when INH_INC input is True and
neither of the priority increase or priority decrease input pins, PR_INC or PR_DEC are
True.Inhibiting the decrease of the CVO output occurs when INH_DEC input is True and
neither of the PR_INC or PR_DEC input pins are True.
CVO, CV, and SV Output Status Propagation and Bad Quality Determination
OVR_ST_ENH monitors the quality status values of various inputs and connected outputs
to determine the quality status value of CVO, CV, and SV (if the MODE_OPT
enumeration contains SPLIT then the split output property, SPLIT_P, is True).
The quality status value of control variable output CV is either the quality status value of
CVO or, if SPLIT_P is True and the quality status value of BKCAL_IN_CV > 200 and <
203, then the quality status value of CV is assigned a quality status value of 196, NOT_
LIMITED-INTIALIZATION_ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC.
The quality status value of the split range control variable output, SV, is either the quality
status value of CVO or, if SPLIT_P is True and the quality status value of BKCAL_IN_
SV is > 200 and < 203, then the quality status value of SV is assigned a quality status
value of 196, NOT_LIMITED-INTIALIZATION_ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC.

OVR_ST_ENH calculates the quality status value of CVO from appropriate inputs with
quality status values, input parameters values, and the connected hard I/O quality status
values of CV and, if MODE_OPT contains SPLIT (the split property, SPLIT_P is True),
SV. The analog output variables attached to CV and SV are monitored for quality status,
which results in the following possible CVO quality status values: 12 - I/O Pack Health
Failed – NOT_LIMITED-DEVICE_FAILURE-BAD, 16 - I/O Pack Health Failed –
NOT_LIMITED-SENSOR_FAILURE-BAD.
If none of these conditions exist, the quality status value of CVO is calculated by OVR_
ST_ENH to be 192 to 198, depending on numerous variables used in the quality status
calculation, which results in the following values:
• Status value 192 indicates CVO is NOT_LIMITED_GOODC

• Status value 193 indicates CVO is LOW_LIMITED_GOODC
• Status value 194 indicates CVO is HIGH_LIMITED_GOODC
• Status value 195 indicates CVO is CONSTANT_GOODC
• Status value indicates CVO is NOT_LIMITED-INITIALIZED_
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
• Status value 197 indicates CVO is LOW_LIMITED-INITIALIZED_
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
• Status value 198 indicates CVO is HIGH_LIMITED-INITIALIZED_
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
When using FOUNDATION fieldbus, if the split range mode is not selected, SPLIT_P is
False, and the quality status value of BKCAL_IN_CV or BKCAL_IN_SV is > 200 and <
203, then the quality status value of CVO is assigned a quality status value of 196 when
the low limit (LS) and upper limit (US) are False. If the split range mode is selected,
SPLIT_P is True and the FOUNDATION fieldbus initialization acknowledgment is provided,
which indicates the quality status of CV and SV.
If RSP_BQ, selected CVI_BQ, and selected CVI_OV are False, and the value of CVO is
< the low limit, then LS is True and 1 is added to the CVO status value.
If RSP_BQ, selected CVI_BQ, selected CVI_OV, and the value of CVO is > the high
limit, then US is True and 2 is added to the CVO status value.

This block propagates quality status. The status option cannot be disabled.
CVO status is based upon the following, in order of priority:
• Analog output variables attached to CV and SV are monitored for quality status, resulting in the following possible
CVO status:
− I/O Pack Health Failed – NOT_LIMITED-DEVICE_FAILURE-BAD [12]
− I/O Pack Health Failed – NOT_LIMITED-SENSOR_FAILURE-BAD [16]
• If RSP_BQ, selected CVI#_BQ, or selected CVI#_OV is True, then the value of CVO status is CONSTANT-GOODC
[195].
• If RSP_BQ, selected CVI#_BQ, and selected CVI#_OV are False, and the value of CVO is < the low limit, then LS is
True and 1 is added to the CVO status value.
• If RSP _BQ, selected CVI#_BQ, and selected CVI#_OV are False, and the value of CVO is > the high limit, then US
is True and 2 is added to the CVO status value.
• The default quality status of CVO is NOT_LIMITED-GOODC [192].
Input Quality Status Monitoring

OVR_ST_ENH monitors and propagates the health or quality status of I/O points CVI1,
CVI2, CVI3, RSP, BKCAL_IN_CV, BKCAL_IN_SV, POS_CV, and POS_SV and
determines when action must be taken because of a bad quality related input.
Control variable inputs CVI1 and CVI2 are always monitored for bad quality. If the
STATION_OPT enumeration is SELECT_3_INPUTS, MAX_3_INPUTS or MIN_3_
INPUTS, then CVI3 is also monitored for bad quality. If bad quality exists for any of the
CVI1, CVI2, or CVI3 inputs, the corresponding output CVI1_BQ, CVI2_BQ, or CVI3_
BQ is set to True. If bad quality exists for the selected CVI input (CVI1 while SEL1,
CVI2 while SEL2, or CVI3 while SEL3) , the block response is the same. For example, if
BQ_MAN is True, the block is in auto, CVI1 is the selected input, and CVI1 is bad
quality (CVI1_BQ = True), the block rejects to manual mode and MN_REJ_A is
activated. However, if BQ_MAN is True, the block is in auto, CVI1 is the selected input,
and CVI2 is bad quality (CVI1_BQ = True), the block will remain in auto and will
continue to operate.
OVR_ST_REM or OVR_ST_ The following inputs are monitored for quality status based on MODE_OPT containing
EXT are the only block option POS:
enumerations that allow RSP
bad quality to affect block • POS_CV input determines if bad quality (OS_CV_BQ) is present and if there is a
operation. significant difference between the feedback value and the requested value, CV, to
warrant an enabled high differential alarm, POS_CV_DH.
• POS_SV input determines if bad quality (POS_SV_BQ) is present and if there is a
significant difference between the feedback value and the requested value, SV, to
warrant an enabled high differential alarm, POS_SV_DH.

Bad Quality Outputs
Control Variable PID Track Value Bad Quality (BKCAL_IN_CV_BQ) is set to True
when the control variable PID track value input, BKCAL_IN_CV, is determined to be of
bad quality (a quality status value < 64).
Split Range Variable PID Track Value Bad Quality (BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ) is set to True
when the split range PID track value input, BKCAL_IN_SV, is determined to be of bad
quality (a quality status value < 64).
Output Bad Quality (OBQ) is determined by the following conditions:
• BKCAL_IN_CV_BQ is True
• BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ is True
• Status value of FOUNDATION fieldbus inputs BKCAL_IN_CV or BKCAL_IN_SV, if
used, are > 196 and < 227.
• CVO is determined to be of bad quality (a quality status value < 64).
Control Variable Input Bad Quality (CVI1_BQ, CVI2_BQ, or CVI3_BQ) is determined
when the corresponding control variable input, CVI1, CVI2, or CVI3, is determined to be
of bad quality (a quality status value < 64). If bad quality exists for any of the CVI1,
CVI2, or CVI3 inputs, the corresponding output CVI1_BQ, CVI2_BQ, or CVI3_BQ is
set to True. If bad quality exists for the selected CVI input (CVI1 while SEL1, CVI2
while SEL2, or CVI3 while SEL3) , the block response is the same. For example, if BQ_
MAN is True, the block is in auto, CVI1 is the selected input, and CVI1 is bad quality
(CVI1_BQ = True), the block rejects to manual mode and MN_REJ_A is activated.
However, if BQ_MAN is True, the block is in auto, CVI1 is the selected input, and CVI2
is bad quality (CVI1_BQ = True), the block will remain in auto and will continue to
operate.
Note The STATION_OPT enumeration must contain SELECT_3_INPUTS, MAX_3_

INPUTS, or MIN_3_INPUTS, for CVI3 to be monitored for bad quality.
Control Variable Input Override (CVI1_OV, CVI2_OV, or CVI3_OV) is set to True when
the corresponding control variable input, CVI1, CVI2, or CVI3 status value is equal to
195, CONSTANT-GOODC.

INPUTS or MIN_3_INPUTS, for CVI3 to be monitored for an override condition. If an
override condition exists for any of the CVI1, CVI2, or CVI3 inputs, the corresponding
output CVI1_OV, CVI2_OV, or CVI3_OV is set to True. If an override condition exists
for the selected CVI input, the block response is the same. For example, if BQ_MAN is
True, the block is in auto, CVI1 is the selected input, and CVI1 is bad quality (CVI1_BQ
= True), the block rejects to manual mode and MN_REJ_A is activated. However, if BQ_
(CVI1_BQ = True), the block will remain in auto and will continue to operate.

RSP_BQ is determined by the following conditions:
• BLOCK_OPT is OVR_ST_REM or OVR_ST_EXT, OVR_ST_REM_P or OVR_

ST_EXT_ is True, respectively, and RSP is determined to be of bad quality (a quality
status value < 64).
• FOUNDATION fieldbus Command to Manual (FF_IMAN) operation is set to True when
the status of a FOUNDATION fieldbus AO quality status is > 196 and < 227. FF_IMAN
rejects the OVR_ST_ENH block to a manual and/or tracking state, indicating that a
downstream FF AO is requesting to initialize a control output, or it is in a fault state
or is not inviting the OVR_ST_ENH to participate in the control process. It is a
requirement that BK_CAL_IN_CV be connected to the corresponding BK_CAL_
OUT of the FF AO that is driven by CV. The corresponding requirement exists for
BK_CAL_IN_SV when split range control is used.
Control Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality Alarms (POS_CV_BQ and
POS_SV_BQ)
POS_CV_BQ and POS_SV_ POS_CV_BQ is determined when control variable position feedback value input POS_
BQ generate a LVL_4 alarm CV is determined to be of bad quality (a quality status value < 64), and the enumerated
when bad quality is detected. input MODE_OPT contains POS, then the position feedback property, POSFB_P, is True.
POS_SV_BQ is determined when split range variable position feedback value input POS_
SV is determined to be of bad quality (a quality status value < 64), and the enumerated
input MODE_OPTcontains POS, the position feedback property, POSFB_P, is True.
When activated, the following output points generate a LVL_4 alarm:
• POS_CV_DH
• POS_SV_DH
• MN_REJ_A
• POS_CV_BQ
• POS_SV_BQ

Position Deviation High Alarms (POS_CV_DH and POS_SV_DH)
Under certain conditions, the position deviation high alarm, POS_CV_DH or POS_SV_
DH, for CV or SV, respectively, become True when the corresponding feedback value,
POS_CV or POS_SV, exceeds a deviation high set point (POS_DH_SP) value for a time
period in milliseconds given by the POS_DH_T input parameter (the default value of
POS_DH_T is 5000 milliseconds).
Note If the POS_DH_T parameter is set to zero, then both POS_CV_DH and POS_SV_
DH will be disabled.
The conditions required for the position deviation high alarm are:
• Position deviation time delay (POS_DH_T) must be greater than zero.

• LOCK must be False (the block is not in lock mode).
• Position feedback property, POSFB_P, must be True (MODE_OPT must contain
POS).
• Status of the input variable, POS_CV or POS_SV, must NOT have a BAD quality
status indication for the corresponding alarm to be activated (BAD quality status
range value is from 0 – 63).
Manual Reject Alarm (MN_REJ_A)
The following conditions activate MN_REJ_A:
• When enumerated MN_REJ input enumeration from a manual reject type block
contains OVR, then the OVR_ST_ENH block rejects from auto mode to manual
control and generates MN_REJ_A.
• When enumerated CMD_OVR input from an override-type block contains OVR,
then OVR_ST_ENH rejects from auto mode to manual control and generates MN_
REJ_A.
• When input parameter BQ_MAN is set to True causing OVR_ST_ENH rejects from
auto mode to manual control and generates MN_REJ_A, when any of the bad quality
or override indicators, OBQ, CVI1_BQ, CVI2_BQ, CVI3_BQ, CVI1_OV, CVI2_
OV, CVI3_OV, or RSP_BQ, become True, and/or when BQ_MAN is False, then the
block is placed in tracking mode and TK_OUT is True.
• When OVR_ST_ENH is in auto mode and the operator can and does place the block
into lock mode (LOCK is set to True), then the block is placed in manual mode and
MN_REJ_A is activated.
• When the FF_IMAN is True, then OVR_ST_ENH rejects from auto mode to manual

Local and Remote Setpoint (RS) Mode
RS output indicates when OVR_ST_ENH is using the remote setpoint input, RSP (when
the block is in auto mode) as the setpoint to calculate CVO. A reset dominant latched
output, which is decided by the following conditions, determines the Boolean value of
RS:
• When BLOCK_OPT is OVR_ST_EXT, the setpoint mode is set to REMOTE (RS is

True), and the operator cannot select a local setpoint from the graphical interface.
• When BLOCK_OPT is OVR_ST_REM, the operator selects (using the graphical
interface) remote or local setpoint mode, or the block can be externally commanded
to the remote setpoint mode by the pulsed RSP_SEL input.
POP (CV_L, CV_R, CV_MN, SV_L, SV_R, and SV_MN) Values
The POP feature provides a valve closing hysteresis loop to prevent a control valve from
throttling on the valve seat, thus reducing control valve wear. In the decreasing direction,
the feature does not allow CV to become less than the pop level value of CV_L until the
characterized value of CVO becomes less than reset value, CV_R. When the
characterized value of CVO becomes less than CV_R, then CV is set to minimum desired
output value, CV_MN. In the increasing direction, CV remains equal to CV_MN until the
characterized value of CVO becomes greater than the value of CV_L. Once the
characterized value of CVO is greater than CV_L, then CV will POP to the value of CV_
L and CV follows the characterized value of CVO as long as it is above CV_L. The POP
feature is enabled when CV_L > CV_R > CV_MN and disabled when CV_L = CV_R =
CV_MN.
The POP concept also applies to SV. When the MODE_OPT input enumeration contains
SPLIT, then SPLIT_P is True and the values of SV_L, SV_R and SV_MN are set.

The following figure displays the typical OVR_ST_ENH block pin connections with
three override controlled PID_MA_ENH blocks. In this example, the STATION_OPT

Note For external commands, when PID_MA_ENH blocks are connected to and
receiving inputs from the OVR_ST_ENH block, it is recommended to use the OVR_ST_
ENH block for any external commands, such as CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC, or CMD_TK
actions, for the PID controller. Do not connect the CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC, and CMD_
TK blocks to the PID_MA_ENH blocks if using an OVR_ST_ENH block. Instead, use
the capability of the OVR_ST_ENH block for these actions.
ToolboxST Application Configuration

When installing an OVR_ST_ENH block into the ToolboxST application code, the
ToolboxST application generates a window that prompts the user to enter the Device
Name, Device Description, Format Specification for the process variable (PV) and the
Format Specification for the control variable (CV). The block automatically creates the
variables associated with the block and provides the appropriate attributes for each
variable. For example, Type, Format Spec, and the variables that need to be on the EGD
are automatically placed on the $Default EGD page.

36 Override Station Enhanced_Version 2
(OVR_ST_ENH_V2)
Block Category: OVR_ST_ENH_V2, Controls (DCS)
Refer to the sections, BLOCK_ The Override Station Enhanced_Version 2 (OVR_ST_ENH_V2) block is an enhanced
OPT, MODE_OPT, and override station that controls up to three cascaded or non-cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2
STATION_OPT. block loops. The inputs and outputs of the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block can be monitored
and controlled by the operator using the CIMPLICITY graphical interface. The block’s
various functional capabilities are defined by three separate enumerated inputs: Block
Option (BLOCK_OPT), Mode Option (MODE_OPT), and Station Option (STATION_
OPT). The user must first identify the functions needed for the application for which the
block will be used, and then choose the appropriate enumeration for each input to provide
the desired block functionality. The Enhanced block performs quality status monitoring of
input and output signals and propagates the quality status to the outputs: control variable
output (CVO), CV, and SV.

Name Description
OVR_ST_MA OVR_ST with manual / auto setpoint control
OVR_ST_REM OVR_ST with manual / auto control and local / remote setpoint
OVR_ST_EXT OVR_ST with manual / auto control and external setpoint
OVR_ST_MA — used only when manual / auto setpoint control is needed. It sets the
output property (OVR_ST_P) to True.
OVR_ST_REM — used when a remote setpoint value is needed and sets the output
property (OVR_ST_REM_P) to True. The remote setpoint is connected to the OVR_ST_
ENH_V2 block remote setpoint (RSP) input. This enumeration permits a local setpoint
and a remote setpoint, either of which can be selected by the operator using the graphical
interface, or by the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block remote setpoint select pulsed (RSP_SEL)
input.
OVR_ST_EXT — used when an external setpoinat input value is to be used as the
setpoint value and sets the output property (OVR_ST_EXT_P) to True. The remote
setpoint is connected to the RSP input. This enumeration does not allow a local setpoint,
only an external setpoint that is connected to the RSP input. When this enumeration is
used, the operator cannot select a local setpoint value from the graphical interface and the
RSP_SEL input is disabled.

to safely lockout equipment.
POS — used when feedback is available from the controlled device. Normally, feedback
is the valve position feedback, but the POS enumeration can also be used for motor speed
or a variety of other device feedbacks. The position feedback value is connected to the
block POS_CV input and, if the MODE_OPT enumeration SPLIT is selected, the position
feedback from the secondary device is connected to the POS_SV block input. When the
POS enumeration is used, the block POSFB_P output is True, the feedback value is
displayed on the CIMPLICITY faceplate, and, when the cursor is placed over the
feedback area, CV Pos Feedback = the instantaneous value) displays.

POS Enumeration Faceplate
SPLIT — indicates that the controller will output to two different devices using block
application.
The default characterization arrays for both CV and SV are linear and are as follows:
• CV_X and SV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• CV_Y and SV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000

The following characterized outputs are applied:
• CV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• CV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• SV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• SV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000

OVR_ST_ENH_V2 output properties control the appearance of the corresponding
graphical interface based on the MODE_OPT enumeration. The OVR_ST_ENH_V2
output properties and their functions are as follows:
• NONE sets LOCK_P, POSFB_P, and SPLIT_P property to False

• LOCK sets LOCK_P property to True
• POS sets POSFB_P property to True
• SPLIT sets SPLIT_P property to True

STATION_OPT enumerations are as follows:
STATION_OPT Input Enumerations

Name Description
SELECT_2_INPUTS Station output is selected from two inputs
MIN_2_INPUTS Station output is minimum of two inputs
MAX_2_INPUTS Station output is maximum of two inputs
SELECT_3_INPUTS Station output is selected from three inputs
MIN_3_INPUTS Station output is minimum of three inputs
MAX_3_INPUTS Station output is maximum of three inputs
SELECT_2_INPUTS — indicates that two inputs, CVI1 and CVI2, can be selected by
the maintained inputs, SEL1 and SEL2, and used to calculate the outputs, CVO, CV, and,
if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block. If both SEL1 and SEL2 inputs are
False, the block defaults to the value of CVI1. If both SEL1 and SEL2 inputs are True,
the block uses the value of CVI1. When this enumeration is used, the three input property
output (3_INPUT_P) is False.
MIN_2_INPUTS — indicates that the minimum of the two inputs, CVI1 and CVI2, are
used to calculate the outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_ENH_V2
MAX_2_INPUTS— indicates that the maximum of the two inputs, CVI1 and CVI2, are
used to calculate the outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_ENH_V2
SELECT_3_INPUTS— indicates that three inputs, CVI1, CVI2, and CVI3, can be
selected by the maintained inputs SEL1, SEL2, and SEL3, and used to calculate the
outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block. If SEL1, SEL2
and SEL3 inputs are False, the block defaults to the value of CVI1. If more than one of
the selected inputs is True, the first True value in the following order has precedence:
SEL1; SEL2; then SEL3. When this enumeration is used, the 3_INPUT_P output is True.
MIN_3_INPUTS — indicates that the minimum of the three inputs, CVI1, CVI2, and
CVI3, are used to calculate the outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_
ENH_V2 block. The inputs SEL1, SEL2, and SEL3 are ignored. When this enumeration
is used, the 3_INPUT_P output is True.
MAX_3_INPUTS— indicates that the maximum of the three inputs, CVI1, CVI2, and
CVI3, is used to calculate the outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV of the OVR_ST_
ENH_V2 block. The inputs SEL1, SEL2, and SEL3 are ignored. When this enumeration
is used, the 3_INPUT_P output is True.

CVI Selected Input Enumerations are as follows:
The CVI operator graphical interface uses the NSEL1, NSEL2, and NSEL3 outputs to
indicate which input is being used to calculate the block outputs. The block ensures only
one of the three outputs is False, which identifies the input being used.
OVR_ST_ENH_V2 Faceplate with CVI2 Selected

OVR_CTRL1, OVR_CTRL2, and OVR_CTRL3
Block outputs, OVR_CTRL1, OVR_CTRL2, and, if applicable, OVR_CTRL3, are
connected to the corresponding OVR_CTRL inputs of the PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks.
Information is passed from the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block using these outputs to control
the method each connected PID_MA_ENH_V2 block uses to calculate the CVO output.
The individual CVO values of the PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks are used by the control
variable inputs, CVI1, CVI2, and, if applicable, CVI3, of the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block to
determine the output values (CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV) of the OVR_ST_ENH_V2
block.
OVR_CTRL1, OVR_CTRL2, and OVR_CTRL3 Output Enumerations
Name Description
NONE None
OVR_CTRL-ER OVR_ST in use and external reset

OVR_CTRL-TRACK-SELECTED OVR_ST in use and track and selected
NONE — default enumeration for all three outputs but is never used when the block is
running in the control sequence code.
OVR_CTRL — always present when the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block is running in control
application code. It transfers information from the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block to the
connected PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks. OVR_CTRL relays information to the connected
PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks that the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block is controlling.
External reset (ER) — sent to the PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks that are not selected for
calculating the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 output, CVO, when STATION_OPT contains MIN or
MAX and OVR_ST_ENH_V2 is not in tracking mode (TK_OUT is False). This
enumeration causes the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block to use the external reset value (EV) to
calculate its outputs.
The TRACK concept also TRACK applies when the following criteria are met:
applies OVR_CTRL2 and
OVR_CTRL3. • Station option enumeration (STATION_OPT) is SELECT_2_INPUTS or SELECT_
3_INPUTS and the control variable input 1 is not selected (NSEL1 is True)
• Track status (TK_OUT) is True
• Control variable input 1 is selected (NSEL1 is False and the process high or low
limits have been enabled (EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH)
• EN_PROC_LIM_LOW is True) and CVI1 exceeds either the process high limits
(PROC_LIM_HIGH) or low enabled limits (PROC_LIM_LOW)
When the criteria are met, the enumerated output, OVR_CTRL1, contains TRACK,
indicating the override station is commanding PID_MA_ENH to calculate the outputs
from its tracking value (TK) input.
SELECTED indicates that PID_MA_ENH block control variable output (CVO) is
selected by OVR_ST_ENH_V2 and used to calculate CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV
outputs of OVR_ST_ENH_V2.

Process High Limits (EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH) and Process Low Limits (EN_
PROC_LIM_LOW) allow the user to control process regulation limits while allowing
force and override values to operate independently on the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 lower (L)
and upper (H) limits. The user can limit the process control range further using PROC_
LIM_LOW and PROC_LIM_HIGH parameters, which are enabled by their respective
enable parameters, EN_PROC_LIM_LOW and EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH. When EN_
PROC_LIM_LOW or EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH are True, PROC_LIM_LOW and PROC_
LIM_HIGH replace the corresponding L or H limit values.
Setpoint High (SH and Setpoint Low (SL) limit values (block inputs) — bound the
block output, setpoint (SP).
Setpoint adjustment ramp rate (SR)— input value restricts the SP output rate of change
in units/sec. The SP output is passed without rate limit restrictions directly to the SP when
the controller is powered up.
Internal Setpoint (SI) — value of the setpoint before the SR is applied. For example, if
the setpoint changes from 0 to 10 instantaneously, then SI changes from 0 to 10
instantaneously and SP ramps from 0 to 10 in 10 seconds if SR is set at 1 unit/sec. SI is
also bound by the SH and SL inputs.
Setpoint Track (SP_TRACK) — if True, tracks PV in manual mode and RSP in
auto-remote mode. If the SP_TRACK parameter is False, the setpoint tracks RSP in
remote mode and RS is True. Otherwise, the operator controls the setpoint value using the
graphical interface.
Remote Select (RSP_SEL) — pulsed input that instructs the block to use the remote
setpoint (RSP) input to calculate block outputs CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV when the
block is in auto mode. The input must be pulsed.
Manual adjustment rate (MR) — restricts the rate of change of the CVO in units/sec.
Tracking status (TK_OUT) — block output is set to True when the following input
conditions are met:
• RSP input bad quality

• Output bad quality
• Selected CVI input override or bad quality
• Priority increase or decrease
• Manual mode
• Force command
• Override command
• Increase or decrease inhibit
• Lock
• MN_REJ input enumeration contains OVR
• Track command (CMD_TK) input contains TRACK
• RS output changes state, causing a setpoint realignment
• Auto mode (AUTO) output changes state, causing a setpoint realignment
• Permit to modulate (MOD_PMT) is False (enumeration contains no permit [NO_
PERM]).

CVO also includes CV_X and, When TK_OUT is True, the OVR_ ST_ENH_V2 is in tracking mode and block output
if applicable, SV_X, for CVO tracks the appropriate value based on the parameter that set TK_OUT to True. The
characterized outputs CV and value used for tracking may be the override value (OV), the force value (FV) while a
SV, respectively. priority increase or decrease command moves to the H or L limit output values at the
priority increase rate (PR_INC_RT) or decrease rate (PR_DEC_RT). The value used for
The H and L values are tracking may also be the track value (TV) or the initial position (INIT_POS) value. If
dependent on enable process there is no priority increase or decrease active, PR_INC and PR_DEC are False, and, if
limit inputs EN_PROC_LIM_ an inhibit increase or decrease command is present, the block output INC_INH or DEC_
HIGH and EN_PROC_LIM_ INH is True, then TK_OUT is True as the value of CVO modulates in the direction of the
LOW, and the PROC_LIM_ inhibit request.

CMD exists and the output CVO moves to the FV input value.
Note An override command (the CMD_OVR enumeration contains OVR) has

to view the individual inputs that place the block into track mode. The track graphical
interface enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to release the track condition
through the graphical interface.

CMDB is True.
If the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block is in auto mode and a validated CMD_OVR input
enumeration contains OVR, an override command exists and the manual reject alarm
(MN_REJ_A) is activated and the output moves to the input value of the override value

enumeration.
Name Description
NO_CMD No command
NO_CMD — indicates no command is present.

AUTO_CMD — switches the block into auto mode from manual mode using the
graphical interface faceplate. The auto setpoint is local, remote, or external depending on
the BLOCK_OPT enumeration and the operator selection, if applicable, is local or
remote. When the block is in auto mode the output, AUTO, is True.
MANUAL_CMD— switches the block into manual mode from auto mode using the
device. When the block is in manual mode, AUTO is True.
LOCK_CMD — indicates the block is in lock mode, which occurs when the block
output, CVO, is within 5 units of the initial position (INIT_POS) value. This enumeration
removes the block from auto mode, places it in manual mode, and sets MN_REJ_A to
True. When the block is in lock mode, the output, LOCK, is True.
UNLOCK_CMD — removes the block from lock mode and sets LOCK to False.
REMOTE_CMD — directs the block (when in auto mode) to use the RS value
connected to block input pin RSP as the auto setpoint. When the block is in remote mode,
the RS output is True.
LOCAL_CMD — directs the block (when in auto mode) to use the operator defined
local setpoint. When the block is in local mode, RS is False.

operator to view the individual inputs that place the block in manual reject mode. The
override graphical interface enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to release the
override condition through the graphical interface.
MN_REJ Enumerations
Name Description
NO_OVR — indicates no manual reject command is active and the manual reject output,
REJ_MN, is False.
OVR — indicates a manual reject command is active and REJ_MN is True.
NO-BLOCK— indicates the operator has not invoked a block of any of the associated
logic driven inputs to the override-type block. When NO-BLOCK is active, the output,
REJ_MNB, is False.
logic driven inputs to the override-type block. The BLOCK enumeration is not used by
OVR_ST_ENH_V2, but the block passes the information it to the graphical interface for
display purposes using REJ_MNB. When a block is active, REJ_MNB is True.
If the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block is in auto mode and a validated MN_REJ input
enumeration contains OVR, then the block is removed from auto mode and placed in
manual mode, and MN_REJ_A is activated, and enumerated outputs OVR_CTRL1,
OVR_CTRL2, and OVR_CTRL3 contain TRACK, which commands the connected PID_
MA_ENH_V2 blocks into tracking mode.

CASC_IN1, CASC_IN2, and CASC_IN3
Note Although the enumerated inputs contain all enumerations discussed in this section,
the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block is only affected when the input enumerations contain
TUNE_INNER or TUNE_OUTER.
The enumerated OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block inputs, CASC_IN1, CASC_IN2, and, if

applicable, CASC_IN3, receive information from the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block output,
override controlled (CASC_OUT). The enumeration information instructs the OVR_ST_
ENH_V2 block on how to properly calculate the value and status of outputs CVO, CV,
and, if applicable, SV.

Note All enumerated values in this section transfer information between cascaded PID_
MA_ENH_V2 blocks, but the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block only needs the TUNE_INNER
or TUNE_OUTER enumeration to ensure proper block functionality.
NO_CASC — default value but has no effect on the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block.

However, PID_MA_ENH_V2 output CASC_OUT is never NO_CASC when the
controller is running. If no connection is made to the CASC_IN3 input, the default
enumeration of CASC_IN3 is NO_CASC and the STATION_OPT input enumeration
indicates three inputs are not being used. Of the three inputs being used, property (3_
INPUT_P) is False.
The following are not used in the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block:
• DIRECT
• REVERSE
• TRACK
• LOW_LIMITED
• HIGH_LIMITED
TUNE_INNER — indicates the operator has selected the override controlled inner loop
of a cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 block from the graphical interface to be in tuning
mode.
TUNE_OUTER — indicates the operator has selected the override controlled outer loop
of a cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 block from the graphical interface to be in tuning
mode. If a non-cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is used in an override control scenario
with an OVR_ST_ENH block, this enumeration is contained in the CASC_OUT output of
the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block when it is placed in tuning mode.

Tuning Mode of Override Controlled PID_MA_ENH_V2 Blocks
When an override controlled PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is in tuning mode, the
corresponding OVR_ST_ENH_V2 enumerated input, CASC_IN1, CASC_IN2, or
CASC_IN3, contains TUNE_INNER, TUNE_OUTER, or TUNE_INNER-TUNE_
OUTER. The OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block selects the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block in tuning
mode for output. If more than one of the controlled PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks are in
tuning mode at the same time, the input used to calculate the output of the OVR_ST_
ENH_V2 block is prioritized by CASC_IN1, CASC_IN2, and CASC_IN3 (in this order),
which contain the enumerations TUNE_INNER, TUNE_OUTER or TUNE_
INNER-TUNE_OUTER.
Priority Increase (PR_INC) and Decrease Commands (PR_DEC)
Whenever the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block input PR_INC is True, the output CVO
increases to the high limit (H) value at the rate defined by the PR_INC rate value, PR_
INC_RT (default value is 1 unit/sec).
Whenever the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block input PR_DEC is True and PR_INC is False,
the output CVO decreases to the low limit (L) value at the rate defined by the PR_DEC
rate value, PR_DEC_RT (default value is 1 unit/sec).
Program both inputs, PR_INC and PR_DEC, to be mutually exclusive events. However, if
at any time they both become True, then PR_INC is the dominate input and the CVO
value increases to the H value at the rate defined by the PR_INC rate value, PR_INC_RT.
Note A force command (CMD_FRC contains FORCE), or an override command

(CMD_OVR contains OVR) have precedence over the PR_INC and PR_DEC inputs.
Inhibit Increase (INH_INC) and Decrease commands (INH_DEC)

OVR_ST_ENH_V2 is capable of inhibiting the output control variable (CVO) from
increasing or decreasing in value without a force or override command (FORCE from the
enumerated CMD_FRC input or OVR from the enumerated CMD_OVR input).
Inhibiting the increase of the CVO output occurs when INH_INC input is True and
neither of the priority increase or priority decrease input pins, PR_INC or PR_DEC are
True.
Inhibiting the decrease of the CVO output occurs when INH_DEC input is True and
neither of the PR_INC or PR_DEC input pins are True.
CVO, CV, and SV Output Status Propagation and Bad Quality Determination
OVR_ST_ENH_V2 monitors the quality status values of various inputs and connected
outputs to determine the quality status value of CVO, CV, and SV (if the MODE_OPT
enumeration contains SPLIT then the split output property, SPLIT_P, is True).
The quality status value of control variable output CV is either the quality status value of
CVO or, if SPLIT_P is True and the quality status value of BKCAL_IN_CV > 200 and <
203, then the quality status value of CV is assigned a quality status value of 196, NOT_
The quality status value of the split range control variable output, SV, is either the quality
SV is > 200 and < 203, then the quality status value of SV is assigned a quality status
value of 196, NOT_LIMITED-INTIALIZATION_ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC.

OVR_ST_ENH calculates the quality status value of CVO from appropriate inputs with
quality status values, input parameters values, and the connected hard I/O quality status
values of CV and, if MODE_OPT contains SPLIT (the split property, SPLIT_P is True),
SV. The analog output variables attached to CV and SV are monitored for quality status,
which results in the following possible CVO quality status values: 12 - I/O Pack Health
Failed – NOT_LIMITED-DEVICE_FAILURE-BAD, 16 - I/O Pack Health Failed –
NOT_LIMITED-SENSOR_FAILURE-BAD.
If none of these conditions exist, the quality status value of CVO is calculated by OVR_
ST_ENH_V2 to be 192 to 198, depending on numerous variables used in the quality
status calculation, which results in the following values:

• Status value indicates CVO is NOT_LIMITED-INITIALIZED_
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
When using FOUNDATION fieldbus, if the split range mode is not selected, SPLIT_P is
False, and the quality status value of BKCAL_IN_CV or BKCAL_IN_SV is > 200 and <
the low limit (LS) and upper limit (US) are False. If the split range mode is selected,
SPLIT_P is True and the FOUNDATION fieldbus initialization acknowledgment is provided,
which indicates the quality status of CV and SV.
If RSP_BQ, selected CVI_BQ and selected CVI_OV are False, and the value of CVO is <
the low limit, then LS is True and 1 is added to the CVO status value.
If RSP_BQ, selected CVI_BQ and selected CVI_OV are False, and the value of CVO is >
the high limit, then US is True and 2 is added to the CVO status value.

This block propagates quality status. The status option cannot be disabled.
CVO status is based upon the following, in order of priority:
• Analog output variables attached to CV and SV are monitored for quality status, resulting in the following possible
CVO status:
• If RSP_BQ, selected CVI#_BQ, or selected CVI#_OV is True, then the value of CVO status is CONSTANT-GOODC
[195].
• If RSP_BQ, selected CVI#_BQ, and CVI#_OV are False, and the value of CVO is < the low limit, then LS is True and
1 is added to the CVO status value.
• If RSP _BQ, selected CVI#_BQ, and selected CVI#_OV are False, and the value of CVO is > the high limit, then US
is True and 2 is added to the CVO status value.

OVR_ST_ENH_V2 monitors and propagates the health or quality status of I/O points
CVI1, CVI2, CVI3, RSP, BKCAL_IN_CV, BKCAL_IN_SV, POS_CV, and POS_SV and
determines when action must be taken because of a bad quality related input.
Control variable inputs CVI1 and CVI2 are always monitored for bad quality. If the
STATION_OPT enumeration is SELECT_3_INPUTS, MAX_3_INPUTS or MIN_3_
INPUTS, then CVI3 is also monitored for bad quality. If bad quality exists for any of the
CVI1, CVI2, or CVI3 inputs, the corresponding output CVI1_BQ, CVI2_BQ, or CVI3_
BQ is set to True. If bad quality exists for the selected CVI input (CVI1 while SEL1,
CVI2 while SEL2, or CVI3 while SEL3), the block response is the same. For example, if
BQ_MAN is True, the block is in auto, CVI1 is the selected input, and CVI1 is bad
quality (CVI1_BQ = True), the block rejects to manual mode and MN_REJ_A is
activated. However, if BQ_MAN is True, the block is in auto, CVI1 is the selected input,
and CVI2 is bad quality (CVI1_BQ = True), the block will remain in auto and will
continue to operate.

• POS_SV input determines if bad quality (POS_SV_BQ) is present and if there is a
significant difference between the feedback value and the requested value, SV, to
warrant an enabled high differential alarm, POS_SV_DH.
Bad Quality Outputs
Control Variable PID Track Value Bad Quality (BKCAL_IN_CV_BQ) is set to True
when the control variable PID track value input, BKCAL_IN_CV, is determined to be of
bad quality (a quality status value < 64).
Split Range Variable PID Track Value Bad Quality (BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ) is set to True
when the split range PID track value input, BKCAL_IN_SV, is determined to be of bad
quality (a quality status value < 64).
• Status value of FOUNDATION fieldbus inputs BKCAL_IN_CV or BKCAL_IN_SV, if
used, are > 196 and < 227.
• CVO is determined to be of bad quality (a quality status value < 64).
Control Variable Input Bad Quality (CVI1_BQ, CVI2_BQ, or CVI3_BQ) is determined
when the corresponding control variable input, CVI1, CVI2, or CVI3, is determined to be
of bad quality (a quality status value < 64).

INPUTS, or MIN_3_INPUTS, for CVI3 to be monitored for bad quality.
If bad quality exists for any of the CVI1, CVI2, or CVI3 inputs, the corresponding output
CVI1_BQ, CVI2_BQ, or CVI3_BQ is set to True. If bad quality exists for the selected
CVI input (CVI1 while SEL1, CVI2 while SEL2, or CVI3 while SEL3), the block
response is the same. For example, if BQ_MAN is True, the block is in auto, CVI1 is the
selected input, and CVI1 is bad quality (CVI1_BQ = True), the block rejects to manual
mode and MN_REJ_A is activated. However, if BQ_MAN is True, the block is in auto,
CVI1 is the selected input, and CVI2 is bad quality (CVI1_BQ = True), the block will
remain in auto and will continue to operate.
Control Variable Input Override (CVI1_OV, CVI2_OV, or CVI3_OV) is set to True when
the corresponding control variable input, CVI1, CVI2, or CVI3 status value is equal to
195, CONSTANT-GOODC.

INPUTS or MIN_3_INPUTS, for CVI3 to be monitored for an override condition. If an
override condition exists for any of the CVI1, CVI2, or CVI3 inputs, the corresponding
output CVI1_OV, CVI2_OV, or CVI3_OV is set to True. If an override condition exists
for the selected CVI input, the block response is the same. For example, if BQ_MAN is
True, the block is in auto, CVI1 is the selected input, and CVI1 is bad quality (CVI1_BQ
= True), the block rejects to manual mode and MN_REJ_A is activated. However, if BQ_
(CVI1_BQ = True), the block will remain in auto and will continue to operate.
RSP_BQ is determined by the following conditions:
• BLOCK_OPT is OVR_ST_REM or OVR_ST_EXT, OVR_ST_REM_P or OVR_

ST_EXT_P is True, respectively, and RSP is determined to be of bad quality (a
quality status value < 64).
• FOUNDATION fieldbus Command to Manual (FF_IMAN) operation is set to True when
the status of a FOUNDATION fieldbus AO quality status is > 196 and < 227. FF_IMAN
rejects the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block to a manual and/or tracking state, indicating
that a downstream FF AO is requesting to initialize a control output, or it is in a fault
state or is not inviting the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 to participate in the control process. It
is a requirement that BK_CAL_IN_CV be connected to the corresponding BK_
CAL_OUT of the FF AO that is driven by CV. The corresponding requirement exists
for BK_CAL_IN_SV when split range control is used.
Control Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality Alarms (POS_CV_BQ and
POS_SV_BQ)
POS_CV_BQ and POS_SV_ POS_CV_BQ is determined when control variable position feedback value input POS_
BQ generate a LVL_4 alarm CV is determined to be of bad quality (a quality status value < 64), and the enumerated
when bad quality is detected. input MODE_OPT contains POS, then the position feedback property, POSFB_P, is True.
POS_SV_BQ is determined when split range variable position feedback value input POS_
SV is determined to be of bad quality (a quality status value < 64), and the enumerated
input MODE_OPT contains POS, the position feedback property, POSFB_P, is True.
Alarmed Points
When activated, the following output points generate a LVL_4 alarm:
• POS_CV_DH
• POS_SV_DH
• MN_REJ_A
• POS_CV_BQ
• POS_SV_BQ

Note If the POS_DH_T parameter is set to zero, then both POS_CV_DH and POS_SV_
DH will be disabled.

• Position feedback property, POSFB_P, must be True (MODE_OPT must contain
POS).
• Status of the input variable, POS_CV or POS_SV, must NOT have a BAD quality
status indication for the corresponding alarm to be activated (BAD quality status
range value is from 0 – 63).
The following conditions activate MN_REJ_A:
• When enumerated MN_REJ input enumeration from a manual reject type block
contains OVR, then the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block rejects from auto mode to manual
• When enumerated CMD_OVR input from an override-type block contains OVR,
then OVR_ST_ENH_V2 rejects from auto mode to manual control and generates
MN_REJ_A.
• When input parameter BQ_MANis set to True causing OVR_ST_ENH_V2 rejects
from auto mode to manual control and generates MN_REJ_A, when any of the bad
quality or override indicators, OBQ, CVI1_BQ, CVI2_BQ, CVI3_BQ, CVI1_OV,
CVI2_OV, CVI3_OV, or RSP_BQ, become True, and/or when BQ_MAN is False,
then the block is placed in tracking mode and TK_OUT is True.
• When OVR_ST_ENH_V2 is in auto mode and the operator can and does place the
block into lock mode (LOCK is set to True), then the block is placed in manual mode
and MN_REJ_A is activated.
• When the FF_IMAN is True, then OVR_ST_ENH_V2 rejects from auto mode to
manual control and generates MN_REJ_A.

Local and Remote Setpoint (RS) Mode
RS output indicates when OVR_ST_ENH_V2 is using the remote setpoint input, RSP
(when the block is in auto mode) as the setpoint to calculate CVO. A reset dominant
latched output, which is decided by the following conditions, determines the Boolean
value of RS:
• When BLOCK_OPT is OVR_ST_EXT, the setpoint mode is set to REMOTE (RS is

True), and the operator cannot select a local setpoint from the graphical interface.
• When BLOCK_OPT is OVR_ST_REM, the operator selects (using the graphical
interface) remote or local setpoint mode, or the block can be externally commanded
to the remote setpoint mode by the pulsed RSP_SEL input.
POP (CV_L, CV_R, CV_MN, SV_L, SV_R, and SV_MN) Values
The POP feature provides a valve closing hysteresis loop to prevent a control valve from
throttling on the valve seat, thus reducing control valve wear. In the decreasing direction,
the feature does not allow CV to become less than the pop level value of CV_L until the
characterized value of CVO becomes less than reset value, CV_R. When the
characterized value of CVO becomes less than CV_R, then CV is set to minimum desired
output value, CV_MN. In the increasing direction, CV remains equal to CV_MN until the
characterized value of CVO becomes greater than the value of CV_L. Once the
characterized value of CVO is greater than CV_L, then CV will POP to the value of CV_
L and CV follows the characterized value of CVO as long as it is above CV_L. The POP
feature is enabled when CV_L > CV_R > CV_MN and disabled when CV_L = CV_R =
CV_MN.
The POP concept also applies to SV. When the MODE_OPT input enumeration contains
SPLIT, then SPLIT_P is True and the values of SV_L, SV_R and SV_MN are set.

The following figure displays the typical OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block pin connections with

Note For external commands, when PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks are connected to and
receiving inputs from the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block, it is recommended to use the OVR_
ST_ENH_V2 block for any external commands, such as CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC, or
CMD_TK actions, for the PID controller. Do not connect the CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC,
and CMD_TK blocks to the PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks if using an OVR_ST_ENH block.
Instead, use the capability of the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block for these actions.
ToolboxST Application Configuration

When installing an OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block into the ToolboxST application code, the
ToolboxST application generates a window that prompts the user to enter the Device
Name, Device Description, Format Specification for the process variable (PV) and the
Format Specification for the control variable (CV). The block automatically creates the
variables associated with the block and provides the appropriate attributes for each

37 Permit (PERMIT)
Block Category: PERMIT, Permits and Overrides
Note Legacy Status — The PERMIT block is not supported for use in new Mark VIe
Block Library.
The Permit (PERMIT) block is an expandable block of up to 32 permit inputs. This block
functions like an AND block, all permit inputs must be True for the output, OUT, to be
True. Each connected input can be bypassed by the HMI operator, which is accessed from
associated permit tab of the permit screen display. This bypass function must be enabled
by setting PMnBE to True. If permit bypassing is enabled for an input, an event is
generated on the HMI alarm/event screen whenever the operator bypasses the permit.
PERMIT Block
description is undesirable, it must be disabled by setting the Inherit Description option to
False in the input variable properties. The description can be replaced with a desirable
description by entering an appropriate description in the description field of the input
variable of the PERMIT block (replace PERMIT #1 with the desired permit description
for the source connected to PM1). The description is not copied from the connected
variable immediately; the input's description is set when the library or device containing
the input is validated or built.
The PERMIT block can also be configured as a ready list. In this mode, the block can be
used to display a list of signals as ready to go or not.

Permissive Type (Perm Type) enumerations are as follows:
PermType Enumerations
Description Perm Type Description

CL_PMT Close permit
OP_PMT Open permit
AU_PMT Auto permit
MOD_PMT Modulate permit
INT_PMT Intermediate permit
STR_PMT Start permit
STP_PMT Stop permit
RDY1 Ready #1 permit
LO_PMT Low speed permit
HI_PMT High speed permit
REV_PMT Reverse permit
ON_PMT On permit
OFF_PMT Off permit
OUT enumerations are as follows:

OUT Enumerations
Enumeration Permit Output Description

Refer to the table, PermType Inserting this block into the application software will generate a window titled, Enter the
Enumerations. Attribute Instance Values; prompting the user to Enter Device Name and Select
Permissive Type in the Value column of the pop-up window. (The permit type is a
drop-down menu selection.)
Default Attributes
The block will then automatically create - based on the number of pin groups exposed -
the necessary variables and provides the appropriate attributes for each variable (for
example Type, Format Spec, variables that need to be on EGD will be automatically
placed on the $Default EGD page, so on). If additional Pin Groups are added, the
necessary new variables will be automatically created during a build of the application
software.
There are two things that need to be checked when installing a PERMIT block. The first
is that the Device Name attribute should match the name of the block that it will be
connected to. If this PERMIT block is controlling an MOV block, then the names should
match. If the blocks are connected correctly - but named incorrectly - the permit block
will work normally, but the HMI screen cannot tell you why you do or do not have
permission. An example of this naming convention is displayed in the figure, Connection
and Naming Example.
The other thing to remember is to select the correct Permissive Type. If you select CL_
PMT, but connect it to an OP_PMT, then the permissive will act like an open permit, but
show up in the Close permissive window.
Clicking OK to accept the defaults will generate the Input pin names in the following
figure. They are in the form the Device Value PermType Value.pin name.
Note The defaults here are for example only. Be sure to change the block name value.
Output pin names are in the form Device Value PermType Value.OUT, Device Value
PermType Value.PM, and Device Value PermType Value.PMB.
Example
If Device Value = 11FVM1401 and PermType Value =CL_PMT; the Global pins created
are provided in the table, Global Variables.
The following figure displays an example of the common usage of a PERMIT block.
There is also a FORCE block displaying the use of a not block. This example shows the
PERMIT block sharing the same name as the M_O_V block that it is controlling.
ToolboxST requires that all blocks have unique names. The PERMIT, FORCE, and
OVERRIDE blocks get around this by adding the block type to the block name. This
makes them unique, links them to the block they control in the HMI, and indicates their
function.

Connection and Naming Example
The following figure illustrates the PERMIT faceplate for the M_O_V block and displays
the presence of the PERMIT blocks, as well as a description from the controlling variable.
These display as green because the permit allows the block to operate normally.
PERMIT Faceplate Example

There is a second mode of operation for the PERMIT block. These blocks can be used as
a ready list. In this mode, there is no block in particular that is being controlled. Rather,
the ready list is used with process level permissives. To configure the permit block to be
used in this format, insert a new block to bring up the assign attribute window displayed
in the following figure.
Permit Block as Ready List
This brings in the block in the usual manner. However, instead of connecting the output to
another block, leave it disconnected. Instead, make a connection to the PM pin on the
right side of the block. Name this the same as the block name, minus the RDY1 part - in
this example, 00PERMIT1002. This needs to be a global variable, and published as
read-only on EGD. Then, make your input connections on the left side.
ToolboxST Permit Block as Ready List
This block does not have a direct HMI object, but there is an object that is used for ready
list purposes. The configuration for this object is discussed in the section, HMI
Configuration (CIMPLICITY).

38 Proportional Integral Derivative Enhanced
(PID_MA_ENH)
Block Category: PID_MA_ENH, Controls (DCS)
Note Legacy Status — The PID_MA_ENH block is not supported for use in new
suite V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block; it
The Proportional Integral Derivative Enhanced (PID_MA_ENH) block is a controller that

can be a parallel proportional, integral, derivative, cascaded or non-cascaded, PID, a
manual/auto station, MA, and has enhanced input and output health quality status
monitoring, ENH. The versatile block can be configured to suit nearly all controller
and/or manual/auto station applications, as well as integrated override station capabilities
when used in conjunction with the enhanced override station block, OVR_ST_ENH. The
block configuration is defined by enumerated inputs, which determine the block
functionality and the information displayed by the corresponding CIMPLICITY graphical
interface(s). Additionally, the block performs quality status monitoring of input signals
and output signals and propagates the quality status to the outputs CVO, CV, and SV.
The programmer must first identify the functions required for the application for which
the block will be used. When the controller function has been properly identified, the
programmer must select the corresponding enumerations from the BLOCK_OPT, CTRL_
ACT, and MODE_OPT inputs that will configure the PID_MA_ENH block to perform as
desired.

Name Description
PID PID only
MA M/A station only
PID_MA PID with M/A station
PID_MA_EXT PID with M/A station with external setpoint
PID_MA_EXT_CASC PID with M/A station with external setpoint from CASCADE station
PID_MA_REM PID with M/A station with remote setpoint
PID_MA_REM_CASC PID with M/A station with remote setpoint from CASCADE station
MA_EXT M/A station without PID with remote setpoint with HMI SP disabled
MA_REM M/A station without PID with HMI SP enabled (through remote local)
MA_MAN M/A station without PID with HMI MANUAL SP enabled

PID — for a proportional, integral, derivative controller. It calculates the error or
difference between the process variable (PV) and the setpoint (SP), and manipulates the
controller output (CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV) to minimize the difference between
PV and SP. When the enumeration is PID only, the PID only property (PID_P) is True,
AUTO is True, and the setpoint is driven by the remote setpoint (RSP) input. The
graphical interface is view only and the operator cannot modify the setpoint or the output,
as both are logic driven.The following figure displays an example of the CIMPLICITY
graphical interface with the BLOCK_OPT enumeration PID.
PID Enumeration Faceplate

The PERMIT, AUTO and MA — used for manual and auto selection. The operator selects either the auto control
MANUAL push-buttons are not setpoint or manually sets the output to the desired value. If the enumeration is MA_MAN,

available on MA.
MA Enumeration Faceplate

EXT — indicates that an external setpoint value from the block RSP input will be used as
the auto setpoint, and can be viewed only by the operator. The following figure displays
an example of the CIMPICITY graphical interface with the BLOCK_OPT enumeration
MA_EXT.
MA_EXT Enumeration Faceplate

REM — indicates the operator can select between a remote setpoint and a local setpoint
value to be used as the auto setpoint. The operator sets the local setpoint using the
faceplate, and the remote setpoint value is connected to the RSP input pin. The remote
setpoint mode can be selected by the operator using the faceplate or using the pulsed input
pin, RSP_SEL.
Note The RSP_SEL input must be a pulsed input. If a continuous True input is used for
the RSP_SEL input, the PID_MA_ENH block will not return to remote setpoint mode
from the RSP_SEL input if the operator selects local from the graphical interface. The
following figure displays an example of the CIMPICITY graphical interface with the
BLOCK_OPT enumeration MA_REM in auto and local mode.
MA_REM Enumeration Faceplate

Refer to the section, Cascaded CASC — indicates the block is being used in conjunction with another PID_MA_ENH
PID_MA_ENH Blocks. block in a cascade scenario; one PID_MA_ENH block, the outer loop, controls the
setpoint, RSP, of the other PID_MA_ENH block, the inner loop. Usually, the outer loop
controls the primary control variable and the inner loop controls a rapidly changing
variable associated with the primary variable. The PID_MA_ENH that acts as the inner
loop has the CASC enumeration and the outer loop does not. The designation of CASC
allows the graphical interface to provide the option for the operator to view the inner loop
PID_MA_ENH graphical interface, as well as call the outer loop faceplate to view the
overall process loop viewed as one controller. The following figure is an inner loop
cascade example of the CIMPICITY graphical interface with the BLOCK_OPT
enumeration PID_MA_REM_CASC in auto and local mode.
PID_MA_REM_CASC Faceplate Enumeration

The following figure is an outer loop cascade example of the CIMPICITY graphical
interface with the BLOCK_OPT enumeration PID_MA, in auto mode, which is supplying
the remote setpoint to the PID_MA_ENH1000 represented by the faceplate in the figure,

BLOCK_OPT Exceptions
The selected BLOCK_OPT enumeration needs to be modified under certain conditions:
the operator has placed the block in tuning mode (TUN is True), there is participation in a
PID override control scheme using an OVR_ST_ENH block, the OVR_CTRL input
enumeration contains OVR_CTRL, or OVRST_CTRL is True.
The order of priority of mode Condition 1: OVRST_CTRL = True, TUN = False
modifications is Condition 1, 2, BLOCK_OPT = PID_MA or PID_MA_REM, it is modified to be PID_MA_EXT
and 3, respectively. BLOCK_OPT = PID_MA_REM_CASC, it is modified to be PID_MA_EXT_CASC
BLOCK_OPT = MA or MA_REM or MA_MAN, it is modified to be MA_EXT
Condition 2: TUN = True
BLOCK_OPT = PID or PID_MA_EXT, it is modified to be PID_MA_REM
BLOCK_OPT = PID_MA_EXT_CASC, it is modified to be PID_MA_REM_CASC
Condition 3: OVRST_CTRL= True, TUN = True
BLOCK_OPT = PID_MA, it is modified to be PID_MA_REM
BLOCK_OPT = MA, it is modified to be MA_REM

BLOCK_OPT Output Properties
The following PID_MA_ENH output properties control the appearance of the
corresponding graphical interface based on the BLOCK_OPT enumeration:
• PID enumeration sets the PID_P property to True

• MA enumeration sets the MA_P property to True
• PID_MA enumeration sets the PID_MA_P property to True
• PID_MA_EXT enumeration sets the PID_MA_EXT_P property to True
• PID_MA_EXT_CASC enumeration sets the PID_MA_EXT_C_P property to True
• PID_MA_REM enumeration sets the PID_MA_REM_P property to True
• PID_MA_REM_CASC enumeration sets the PID_MA_REM_C_P property to True
• MA_EXT enumeration sets the MA_EXT_P property to True
• MA_REM enumeration sets the MA_REM_P property to True
• MA_MAN enumeration sets the MA_MAN_P property to True
CTRL_ACT enumerations are as follows:
CTRL_ACT Input Enumerations

REVERSE Reverse action (SP-PV)
DIRECT — indicates the value of CVO increases when the value of PV is greater than
the setpoint and the value of CVO decreases when the value of PV is less than the
setpoint.
REVERSE — indicates the value of CVO decreases when the value of PV is greater than
the setpoint and the value of CVO increases when the value of PV is less than the
setpoint.

WorkstationST Lock function. interface.
Refer to GEI-100697,
WorkstationST/CIMPLICITY
Advanced Viewer Integration,
The valve output CVO must be within 5 units of the initial position input (INIT_POS)
value before the block can be set to lockout mode. When LOCK is True the block is in
lockout mode and block outputs, CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV are prohibited from
modulating. If the block is in auto mode and not participating in an override control
scheme, the VR_CTRL input enumeration is NONE, and the BLOCK_OPT enumeration
is not PID only, PID_P is False, then the block will be placed in manual mode and the
manual reject alarm, MAN_REJ_A, is activated. The operator’s ability to switch to auto
mode is also disabled until the block is removed from lockout mode. If the block is in
tuning mode, the tuning mode will also be removed and disabled. Additionally, the local
auto setpoint tracks the process variable input PV when the block is in lockout mode.
POS — used when there is feedback available from the controlled device. Normally,
feedback is the valve position feedback; however, the POS enumeration can also be used
for motor speed or a variety of other device feedbacks. The position feedback value is
connected to the block input POS_CV and, if the MODE_OPT enumeration SPLIT is
selected, the position feedback from the secondary device is connected to the POS_SV
block input. When the POS enumeration is used, the block output POSFB_P is True, the
feedback value is displayed on the graphical interface faceplate, and, when the cursor is
placed over the feedback area, the pop up window displays the text CV Pos Feedback =
the instantaneous value , as displayed in the following figure.

POS Enumeration Faceplate with Controlling
SPLIT — indicates that the controller will output to two different devices using the block
application. The default characterization arrays are linear for both CV and SV and are as
follows:
• CV_X and SV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• CV_Y and SV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
array elements in the same order as the SV_Y array, the characterization property,
CHAR_P, is True and the graphical interface displays a button in the lower right corner of
the faceplate with the pop up text Show Characterization, as displayed in the following
figure.

The follow characterizations are applied:
• CV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• CV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• SV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• SV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000


The following PID_MA_ENH output properties control the appearance of the
corresponding graphical interface based on the MODE_OPT enumeration:
• NONE enumeration sets LOCK_P, POSFB_P, and SPLIT_P property to False

• LOCK enumeration sets the LOCK_P property to True
• POS enumeration sets the POSFB_P property to True
• SPLIT enumeration sets the SPLIT_P property to True

Basic PID_MA_ENH Block Functionality
The BLOCK_OPT, CTRL_ACT, and MODE_OPT inputs enumerations described in this
section are instrumental in determining the basic PID_MA_ENH functionality. For
example, the controller is required to be direct acting, have PID functionality, manual or
auto mode capability, ability to be software locked, and feedback is available from the
controlled device. The input enumerations selected are:
• BLOCK_OPT, PID_MA
• CTRL_ACT, DIRECT
• MODE_OPT, LOCK-POS

The operator controls the PID_MA_ENH block by clicking buttons on the CIMPLICITY
graphical interface pop up faceplate. Certain faceplate buttons carry an enumerated value
represented in the PID_MA_ENH block input CTL. The enumerated values are
transferred from the faceplate to the block through EGD using the CTL. When a
command is sent from the faceplate to the PID_MA_ENH block, the block runs the
command and then, after one second, the block overwrites the CTL input with the NO_
CMD enumeration, thus resetting itself for the next CTL command. The enumerations for
CTL are displayed in the following table.
Note The commands are dependent on the enumerations of BLOCK_OPT and MODE_
OPT. For example, LOCK_CMD and UNLOCK_CMD enumerations are not used if
MODE_OPT does not contain the enumeration LOCK).

NO_CMD No command
TUN_ON_CMD Tune mode on command
TUN_OFF_CMD Tune mode off command

AUTO_CM places the block in auto mode from manual mode using the graphical
interface faceplate. The auto setpoint will be local, remote, or external depending on the
BLOCK_OPT enumeration and, if applicable, the operator selection as local or remote.
When the block is in auto mode the output AUTO is True.
MANUAL_CMD — places the block in manual mode from auto mode using the
device. When the block is in manual mode the output AUTO is FLASE.

LOCK_CMD — places the block in lock mode when the block output CVO is within 5
units of the initial position value, INIT_POS. This enumeration command also removes
the block from auto and places it in manual mode and sets the manual reject alarm, MN_
REJ_A, to True. When the block is in lock mode the output LOCK is True.
UNLOCK_CMD — removes the block from lock mode and sets the output LOCK to
False.
TUN_ON_CMD — places the block in tuning mode. The operator is not allowed to
change the PID_MA_ENH block to the tuning mode when the block is already in lock
mode.
Once the tuning mode has been attained, it can only be reset by one of the following
methods:
• Operator tune off command

• Block is set to lock mode
When the block is in tuning mode, the output TUN is True.
TUN_OFF_CMD — removes the block from the tuning mode and sets TUN to False.
REMOTE_CMD — commands the block, when in auto mode, to use the remote setpoint
value connected to block input pin, RSP, as the auto setpoint. When the block is in remote
mode the remote setpoint output, RS, is True.
LOCAL_CMD — commands the block, when in auto mode, to use the operator defined
local setpoint. When the block is in local setpoint mode, RS is False.
input status with the graphical interface of the PID_MA_ENH block, thus allowing the
operator to view the individual inputs that put the block into a manual reject mode. The
override graphical interface also enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to
MN_REJ Enumerations
Name Description
NO_OVR — indicates no manual reject command is active; manual reject output REJ_
MN is False
OVR — indicates a manual reject command is active; manual reject output REJ_MN is
True.
logic driven inputs to the override-type block. When a no block is active, REJ_MNB is
False.
logic driven inputs to the override type block. The BLOCK enumeration is not used by
OVR_ST_ENH, but the block does pass the information it to the graphical interface for
display purposes using the output, REJ_MNB. When a block is active, REJ_MNB is
True.

Under most circumstances, if the PID_MA_ENH block is in auto mode and a validated
MN_REJ input enumeration contains OVR, the block is removed from auto mode and
placed in manual mode, and MN_REJ_A is activated and the local auto setpoint, if
available, tracks PV. Exceptions are if the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID, PID_P is
True, or the PID_MA_ENH block input OVR_CTLR contains the enumeration OVRST_
CTRL from the OVR_ST_ENH block, indicating the override station controls the PID_
MA_ENH block.
Other Enumerated External Commands
There are three enumerated PID_MA_ENH block inputs that provide commands from
external blocks that control the PID_MA_ENH output, CVO. They are, in order of
priority, CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC, and CMD_TK.
Note When PID_MA_ENH blocks are connected to and receiving inputs from the OVR_
ST_ENH block, it is recommended to use the OVR_ST_ENH block for any external
commands, such as CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC, or CMD_TK actions for the PID_MA_
ENH block. In other words, do not connect CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC, and CMD_TK type
blocks to the PID_MA_ENH blocks when using an OVR_ST_ENH block. Instead use the
capability of the OVR_ST_ENH block for these actions.

allowing the operator to view the individual inputs that place the block in override mode.
The override graphical interface also enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to

operator to view the individual inputs that put the block into a force mode. The force
graphical interface also enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to release the
force condition through the graphical interface.

NO_FORCE — indicates no force command is active and the force command output,
FRC_CMD, is False.
FORCE — indicates a force command is active and if the CMD_OVR enumerated input
does not contain OVR (the output OVR_CMD is False), then the force command output
FRC_CMD is True.

CMD_TK Enumerations
Name Description
OUT, is False.
TRACK — indicates a track command is active and TK_OUT is True.
logic driven inputs to the track type block. When this enumeration is used, the
track-blocked output TK_CMDB is False.
track-blocked output TK_CMDB is True.
If the PID_MA_ENH block is in auto mode and a validated CMD_TK input enumeration
contains TRACK, a track command exists and the output of the block, CVO, tracks the
block tracking value input TV.
Priority Increase (PR_INC) and Decrease (PR_DEC) Commands
When the PID_MA_ENH block input PR_INC is True, the output CVO increases to the
high limit value (H) at the rate defined by the priority increase rate value PR_INC_RT
(default value is 1 unit/sec). When the PID_MA_ENH block input PR_DEC is True and
PR_INC is False, the output CVO decreases to the low limit value (L) at the rate defined
by the priority decrease rate value PR_DEC_RT (default value is 1 unit/sec). The inputs
PR_INC and PR_DEC should be programmed to be mutually exclusive events, but if at
any time they both become True, then PR_INC is the dominate input and the value of
CVO increases to H at the rate defined by PR_INC_RT.
Note A force command (the enumeration of CMD_FRC contains FORCE) or an

override command (the enumeration of CMD_OVR contains OVR) have precedence over
the PR_INC and PR_DEC inputs.

Inhibit Increase (INH_INC) and Decrease (INH_DEC) Commands
The PID_MA_ENHis capable of inhibiting the output control variable, CVO, from
increasing or decreasing in value absent a force or override command, FORCE from the
enumerated CMD_FRC input or OVR from the enumerated CMD_OVR input.
Inhibiting the increase of the CVO output occurs when INH_INC is True and one of the
following is present:
• Neither PR_INC nor PR_DEC is True.

• BLOCK_OPT enumeration is neither PID_MA_EXT_CASC nor PID_MA_REM_
CASC, and the CASC_IN enumeration is REVERSE and HI_LIMITED.

CASC and the CASC_IN enumeration is REVERSE and LOW_LIMITED.
AU_PMT Enumerations
Name Description
PERM-NO_BYPASS Permit OK and no permit is bypassed
PERM-BYPASS Permit OK and a permit is bypassed
NO_PERM — indicates a permit to allow the block to be placed in auto mode has not
been met and the auto permit output, PMT_AU, is False.
PERM — indicates all permits for the block to be placed in auto mode have been met and
PMT_AU is True, provided the BLOCK_OPTis not PID only, PID_P is False, the block
is not part of an override scheme, OVRST_CTRL is FASE, and there is no bad quality
detected and the reset override, RSP_OV is False, when BQ_MAN is set to True. The
block outputs, REJ_MN, OVR_CMD, LOCK, and MA_MAN_P must also all be False
for PMT_AU to be True.
logic driven inputs to the auto permit block. When this enumeration is used, the auto
permit bypass output PMT_AUB is False.
logic driven inputs to the auto permit block. When this enumeration is used, PMT_AUB
is True.

associates its input status with the graphical interface of the PID_MA_ENH block, thus
allowing the operator to view the individual inputs that provide a permit to allow the
interface.
Name Description
NO_PERM — indicates a permit to allow the block to modulate the output, CVO, has
not been met and the permit to modulate output, PMT_MOD, is False. If the MOD_PMT
input enumeration contains NO_PERM, CVO equals the INIT_POS input value.
PERM — indicates all permits to allow the block to modulate the output, CVO, have
logic driven inputs to the modulate permit block. When this enumeration is used, the
modulate permit bypass output, PMT_MODB, is False.
logic driven inputs to the modulate permit block. When this enumeration is used, PMT_
MODB is True.
Auto Select (AU_SEL) — a pulsed input that, if permits allow, switches the block from
manual to auto mode, setting the output AUTO to True. The input must be pulsed.
Remote Select (RSP_SEL) — a pulsed input that instructs the block to use the remote
setpoint input RSP as the setpoint used to calculate the block outputs, CVO, CV, and, if
applicable, SV, when the block is in auto mode. The input must be pulsed.
Setpoint High (SH) and Low (SL) Limit — block inputs values bound the block output,
SP, the setpoint used to calculate the error, which is used for the proportional gain portion
of the PID calculations.

Setpoint Adjustment Rate (SR)
The rate of change of the block setpoint, SP, used to calculate the error used in the PID
calculations is restricted by the block SR input value, in units/sec. The setpoint used for
the error calculation is passed without rate limit restrictions directly to SP when the
controller is powered up, track status, TK_OUT, is True, or the BLOCK_OPT
enumeration is PID_MA_EXT_CASC or PID_MA_REM_CASC, and the remote
setpoint mode, RS, is TRUE.
Setpoint Value Before Ramp (SI)
The internal setpoint block output, SI, is the value of the setpoint before the SR is applied.
For example, if the setpoint changes from 0 to 10 instantaneously, SI will change from 0
to 10 instantaneously while if SR is set at 1 unit/sec, SP will ramp from 0 to 10 in 10
seconds. SI is also bound by limit inputs SH and SL, respectively.
Scale Factor (SF) is used to scale the process variable, PV, and the setpoint used to
calculate the error value that is used in the PID calculations. The setpoint used for the
error calculation, the block output SP, may be the value of the operator-supplied setpoint,
the value of the remote setpoint, RSP, or a tracking value, depending on the state of the
block.
Setpoint Track (SP_TRACK)
When is SP_TRACK is True, the setpoint tracks PV in manual or RSP in auto and remote
mode, the output AUTO is True when the block is in auto mode, and RS is True when the
block is in remote mode. If SP_TRACK is False and RS is True, the setpoint tracks RSP.
Otherwise, the operator controls the setpoint value from the graphical interface.
Manual Adjustment Rate (MR)
The rate of change of the control variable output, CVO, is restricted by the block manual
adjustment ramp rate input value MR, in units/sec.
Square of the Error (SQR_ERR)
The square of the calculated error is used if the SQR_ERR parameter is set to True and is
multiplied by PG to calculate the proportional term in the PID calculations. When the
value of the error is greater than one, the square of the error provides a more robust
controller response, when the error is less than one the controller will respond less
aggressively.

Tracking Status (TK_OUT)
The H and L values are The track status block output TK_OUT can be set to True by a number of input
dependent on the enable conditions, such as bad quality, priority increase or decrease, no permit to modulate,
process limit inputs EN_ manual mode, force command, override command, increase or decrease inhibit, lock,
PROC_LIM_HIGH and EN_ track command enumeration (CASC_IN enumeration contains TRACK) or the override
PROC_LIM_LOW, as well as station tracking input (OVR_CTRL enumeration contains TRACK). When TK_OUT is
the PROC_LIM_HIGH and True, the PID_ MA_ENH is in tracking mode and the block output, CVO (also CV_X
PROC_LIM_LOW limits, and, if applicable, SV_X for characterized outputs CV and SV, respectively) tracks the
respectively appropriate value based on the parameter that set TK_OUT to True. The value may be the
override value (OV), force value (FV), a priority increase or decrease command will
move to the H or L limit values at PR_INC_RT or PR_DEC_RT, the track value (TV) or
the initial position value (INIT_POS). When the increase (DEC_INH) or decrease (INC_
INH) inhibit inputs, or transition from True to False, TK_OUT is True for one scan,
which realigns the setpoint and the calculated PID values.
Process (High EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH) and Low (EN_PROC_LIM_LOW) Limits
The user can limit the process control range further using the PROC_LIM_LOW and
PROC_LIM_HIGH parameters that are enabled by their respective enable parameters,
EN_PROC_LIM_LOW and EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH. This feature enables the user to
control process regulation limits while allowing force and override values to operate
independently on the PID_MA_ENH limits (H and L). When EN_PROC_LIM_LOW or
EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH is True, the PROC_LIM_LOW and PROC_LIM_HIGH replace
the corresponding L and H limit values.
Error Deadband Equality (ERR_C), when True, enables the use of error dead band
equality processing. When the absolute value of the error is less than the input value
ERR_CDB (the error dead band), the controller equates that the error is zero.
Refer to the section, PID Track External Reset (ER) may be used to enable several PID_MA_ENH controllers to
at Limit until PV and SP Cross function in parallel, typically when the minimum or maximum CVO value will be
(PV_SP_LIM_TRK). selected. External reset allows all PID_MA_ENH controllers in the loop to calculate CVO
based on process conditions while preventing windup. The selected CVO is sent to the
control element and to the other PID_MA_ENH controllers in the loop. The ER command
block input, or an ER enumeration from OVR_CTRL enables the external reset function.
The selected CVO is connected to the external reset value (EV).

The following figure displays the typical OVR_ST_ENH block pin connections using a
Min/Max configuration with two override controlled PID_MA_ENH blocks.

When the PID tracks at limit until PV and SP cross input (PV_SP_LIM_TRK) is True,
and the ER command is True, the reset does not occur until the following conditions are
all False:
• PV value becomes greater than the SP value when US is True and the controller is
reverse acting
• PV value becomes greater than the SP value when LS is True and the controller is
direct acting
• PV value becomes less than the SP value when LS is True and the controller is
reverse acting
• PV value becomes less than the SP value when US is True and the controller is direct
acting
PID Track at Limit until PV and SP Cross (PV_SP_LIM_TRK)
If PV_SP_LIM_TRK is True, when the controller output reaches either H or L limit, the
controller tracks the limit value until PV crosses SP. Once PV crosses SP, the controller
resumes the controlling action. The following graph displays PV, SP, and CVO for a PID_
MA_ENH block with PV_SP_LIM_TRK both True and False. Notice that with PV_SP_
LIM_TRK set to True (left of the black vertical line) VO remains at the limit until PV
crosses SP. With PV_SP_LIM_TRK set to False (right of the black vertical line), CVO
only tracks the limit until PV changes slope.
PV_SP_LIM_TRK Set to True and False
The graph displays PV (blue sine wave), SP (green horizontal line), and CVO (brown sine
wave, capped). With PV_SP_LIM_TRK set to True, the controller behaves as displayed
in the graph by the data to the left of the vertical black line. With PV_SP_LIM_TRK set
to False, the controller behaves as displayed by the data to the right of the vertical black
line.
Each time SP and PV cross the threshold defined by the range of ERR_CDB, (the error
for dead band PV and SP equality), and the error for dead band equality input, ERR_C, is
True, the controller calculates the integral term from the last calculated control output
value, CVO (BLOCK_OPT enumeration must contain PID).

Inhibit Proportional and Derivative Action on Setpoint Change (INH_PDG)
The INH_PDG parameter, when True, inhibits proportional and derivative controller
action. When the SP change is detected to exceed a scan time calculated dead band
derived from the value of the dead band setpoint to inhibit the proportional and derivative
action, INH_PDG_CDB, in units/sec; the controller calculates the integral term from the
last calculated control output value, CVO (BLOCK_OPT enumeration must contain PID).
Note If INH_PDG is True and the setpoint is constantly changing (possibly a remote
setpoint) by an amount greater than the scan time calculated dead band specified by NH_
PDG_CDB, then the controller is an integral only controller.
Bumpless Proportional and Integral Gain ValueChanges (PG_C and IG_C)

If the value of the proportional gain (PG) or the integral gain (IG) is variable, the input
parameters PG_C and G_C provide bumpless controller action when True. If the value of
PG or IG exceeds the dead band PG_CDB for PG and IG_CDB for IG, and the
corresponding PG_C or IG_C parameter is True, the controller calculates the integral term
from the last calculated control output value, CVO (BLOCK_OPTenumeration must
contain PID).
Feed Forward (FF)
When the BLOCK_OPT input enumeration contains PID the block provides a FF input
that is added as a last step before the output value of CVO and characterized output
values of CV and, if applicable, SV are output from the PID_MA_ENH block.
Status Propagation and Bad Quality Determination of CVO, CV, and SV
Outputs
The PID_MA_ENH block monitors the quality status values of various inputs and
connected outputs to determine the quality status value of CVO, CV, and SV (if the
MODE_OPT enumeration contains SPLIT then the split output property SPLIT_P is
True).
The quality status value of the control variable output CV is either the quality status value
of CVO or, if SPLIT_P is True and the quality status value of BKCAL_IN_CV is > 200
and < 203, the quality status value of CV is assigned a quality status value of 196, NOT_
The quality status value of the split range control variable output SV is either the quality
SV is > 200 and < 203, the quality status value of SV is assigned a quality status value of
196, NOT_LIMITED-INTIALIZATION_ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC.
The quality status value of the control variable output CVO is determined by the how the
block is used. If the PID_MA_ENH block is connected to an OVR_ST_ENH block, the
enumerated OVR_CTRL input contains the enumeration OVR_CTRL, or the block is
used as the outer loop in a cascaded scenario, the outputs CV and SV are not connected to
hard I/O. Therefore, the quality status values of CV and SV are not considered when the
quality status value of CVO is calculated. This eliminates the propagation of erroneous
CVO quality status values that would result from CV and SVnot being connected to hard
I/O points. Otherwise, the PID_MA_ENH block calculates the quality status value of
CVO from appropriate inputs with quality status values, input parameters values, and the
connected hard I/O quality status values of CV and, if the MODE_OPT contains SPLIT
and SPLIT_P is True), SV. The analog output variables attached to CV and SV are
monitored for quality status, resulting in the following possible CVO quality status
values:

• 12 - I/O Pack Health Failed – NOT_LIMITED-DEVICE_FAILURE-BAD
• 16 - I/O Pack Health Failed – NOT_LIMITED-SENSOR_FAILURE-BAD
If neither of these conditions exists, the quality status value of CVO is calculated by the
PID_MA_ENH block to be from 192 to 198, depending on numerous variables used in
the quality status calculation, which result in the following values:
• Status value 192 indicates CVOis NOT_LIMITED_GOODC

• Status value 196 indicates CVO is NOT_LIMITED-INITIALIZED_
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
• Status value 197 indicates CVO is OW_LIMITED-INITIALIZED_
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
When using FOUNDATION fieldbus, if the split range mode is not selected (SPLIT_P is
False) and the quality status value of BKCAL_IN_CV or BKCAL_IN_SV is > 200 and <
LS and US are False. When split range mode is selected (SPLIT_P is True), the
FOUNDATION fieldbus initialization acknowledge provided in the previous sections
indicates the quality status of CV and SV.
If CVI_BQ, EV_BQ, PV_BQ, RSP_BQ, RSP_OV, FFWD_BQ, TV_BQ, BKCALIN_
CV_BQ, and BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ are False and the value of CVO is less than or equal
to the low limit (LS is True), 1 is added to the CVO status value.
CV_BQ, and BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ are False, and the value of CVO is greater than or
equal to the high limit (US is True), 2 is added to the CVO status value.
CVO status is based upon the following in order of priority:
• The analog output variables attached to CV and SV are monitored for quality status. This results in the following
possible CVO statuses:
• If CVI_BQ, EV_BQ, PV_BQ, RSP_BQ, RSP_OV, FFWD_BQ, TV_BQ, BKCALIN_CV_BQ , or BKCAL_IN_SV_
BQ is True, the value of CVO status is CONSTANT-GOODC [195].
• If CVI_BQ, EV_BQ, PV_BQ, RSP_BQ, RSP_OV, FFWD_BQ, TV_BQ, BKCALIN_CV_BQ, or BKCAL_IN_SV_
BQ is True, the value of CVO status is CONSTANT-GOODC [195]. If the following are False, CVI_BQ, EV_BQ,
PV_BQ, RSP_BQ, RSP_OV, FFWD_BQ, TV_BQ, BKCALIN_CV_BQ, and BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ and the value of
CVO is greater than or equal to the high limit, US is True, 2 is added to the CVO status value.

Manual Auto Configuration
Typical connections for PID_MA_ENH blocks with BLOCK_OPT enumerations MA,
MA_EXT, and MA_REM without a control variable input (CVI) available are displayed
in the following figure. Note the connection of SP to VI.
PID_MA_ENH Controller with BLOCK_OPT Enumerations

The PID_MA_ENH block monitors and propagates the health or quality status of I/O
points CVI, EV, FF, PV, RSP, TV, BKCAL_IN_CV, BKCAL_IN_SV, POS_CV, POS_SV
and determines when action must be taken because a bad quality related input.
The following inputs are monitored for quality status based on block operational mode
input BLOCK_OPT:
• CVI is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen as
MA, MA_EXT or MA_REM. These are the only modes, which allow the bad quality
of CVI to affect block operation.
• EV input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen
as PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_CASC, PID_MA_EXT or PID_
MA_EXT_CASC. These are the only modes that allow the bad quality of EV to
affect block operation.
• FF input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen as
PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_CASC, PID_MA_EXT or PID_
MA_EXT_CASC. These are the only modes that allow the bad quality of FF to affect
block operation.
• PV input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen as
MA, MA_EXT, MA_REM, PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_
CASC, PID_MA_EXT or PID_MA_EXT_CASC. These are the only modes that
allow the bad quality of PV to affect block operation.
• RSP input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen
as MA_EXT, MA_REM, PID, PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_CASC, PID_MA_
EXT or PID_MA_EXT_CASC. These are the only modes that allow the bad quality
of RSP to affect block operation.
• TV input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen
as MA, MA_EXT, MA_REM, PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_
allow the bad quality of TV to affect block operation.
The following inputs are monitored for quality status based on the mode input MODE_
OPT containing POS:
• POS_CV input is used to determine if bad quality (POS_CV_BQ) is present and if

there is a significant difference between the feedback value and the requested value
CV to warrant an enabled high differential alarm, POS_CV_DH.
• POS_SV input is used to determine if bad quality (POS_SV_BQ) is present and if
SV to warrant an enabled high differential alarm, POS_SV_DH.

Bad Quality Outputs
Control Variable PID Track Value Bad Quality (BKCAL_IN_CV_BQ) is determined by
the following conditions:
• BLOCK_OPT enumeration is MA, MA_EXT, MA_REM, PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_

EXT, PID_MA_EXT_CASC, PID_MA_REM, or PID_MA_REM_CASC
• Control variable PID track value input BKCAL_IN_CV is determined to be bad
quality, a quality status value < 32.
Split Range Variable PID Track Value Bad Quality (BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ) is determined
by the following conditions:

• Split range PID track value input BKCAL_IN_SV is determined to be bad quality (a
• FOUNDATION fieldbus inputs BKCAL_IN_CV or BKCAL_IN_SV, if used, status
values are ≥ 196 and ≤ 227.
• CVO is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
Control Variable Input Bad Quality (CVI_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:
• BLOCK_OPT enumeration is MA, MA_EXT, or MA_REM and the control variable

input CVI is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
External Reset Value Bad Quality (EV_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:
• BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_EXT, PID_MA_EXT_

CASC, PID_MA_REM, or PID_MA_REM_CASC
• EV is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
Process Variable Bad Quality (PV_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:

• PV is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
Remote Setpoint Bad Quality (RSP_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:
• BLOCK_OPT enumeration is MA_EXT, MA_REM, PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_EXT,

PID_MA_EXT_CASC, PID_MA_REM, or PID_MA_REM_CASC
• RSP is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
• RSP_OV is set to True when the status of RSP is detected as a constant value
condition (195) and the block is in a cascade mode (BLOCK_OPT is PID_MA_
EXT_CASC or PID_MA_REM_CASC). This condition indicates that an upstream
PID_MA_ENH has a bad quality condition and is now in manual and/or tracking
mode. This is designed to propagate to all blocks that make up the loop, including the
OVR_ST_ENH.

Track Value Bad Quality (TV_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:

• TV is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
Feed Forward Bad Quality (FFWD_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:

• FF is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
FOUNDATION fieldbus Command to Manual Operation (FF_IMAN) is set to True when the
status of a FOUNDATION fieldbus AO is quality status is detected as 196-227. FF_IMAN
will reject the PID_MA_ENH block to a manual and/or tracking state. This status
indicates that a downstream FF AO is requesting to initialize a control output, or it is in a
fault state or is not inviting the PID_MA_ENH to participate in the control process. It is a
requirement that BK_CAL_IN_CV is connected to the corresponding BK_CAL_OUT of
the FF AO that is driven by CV. The corresponding requirement exists for BK_CAL_IN_
SV when split range control is used.
Control Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality (POS_CV_BQ) is determined by the
following condition: POS_CV is determined to be bad quality a quality status value < 32),
and the enumerated input MODE_OPT contains POS (the position feedback property,
POSFB_P, is True). This bad quality detection also generates a LVL_4 alarm.
Split Range Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality (POS_SV_BQ) is determined by the
following condition: POS_SV is determined to be bad quality a quality status value < 32),
POSFB_P is True). This bad quality detection also generates a LVL_4 alarm.

Alarmed Points
The following output points generate a LVL_4 alarm when activated:
• POS_CV_DH
• POS_SV_DH
• MN_REJ_A
• POS_CV_BQ
• POS_SV_BQ
Note If the POS_DH_T parameter is set to zero, both high deviation alarms, POS_CV_
DH and POS_SV_DH, will be disabled.

• Position feedback property (POSFB_P) must be True (MODE_OPT must contain
POS).
• Input variable POS_CV or POS_SV have a GOOD quality status indication for the
corresponding alarm to be activated (GOOD quality status range value is from 128 to
155 or 192 to 227).
The MN_REJ_A cannot be activated when the enumerated override station control input
OVR_CTRL contains OVR_CTRL or the enumerated BLOCK_OPT input is PID only
(the output PID_P is True). Otherwise, the following conditions activate the reject to
manual alarm, MN_REJ_A:
• When MN_REJ input from a manual reject-type block contains OVR, the PID_MA_
ENH block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the MN_REJ_
A.
• When CMD_OVR input from an override-type block contains OVR, the PID_MA_
ENH block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the MN_REJ_
A.

• When input parameter reject to manual on bad quality, BQ_MAN, is set to True, the
PID_MA_ENH block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the
MN_REJ_A, when any of the following bad quality indicators becomes True:
− BKCAL_CV_BQ
− BKCAL_SV_BQ
− OBQ
− CVI_BQ
− EV_BQ
− PV_BQ
− RSP_BQ
− TV_BQ
− FFWD_BQ
• If BQ_MAN is False, the block will be put into tracking mode (TK_OUT will be
True).
• If the PID_MA_ENH block is in auto mode and the operator places the block in lock
mode (LOCK is True), the block will be put in manual mode and the MN_REJ_A
will be activated.
• If the BLOCK_OPT enumerated input is changed to MA_MAN and the block is in
auto mode, the block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the
MN_REJ_A.
• If the block is in auto mode, the BLOCK_OPT enumerated input is PID_MA_EXT_
CASC or PID_MA_REM_CASC, and the quality status value of the remote setpoint
RSP is equal to 195, CONSTANT-GOODC, then the remote setpoint override (RSP_
OVR) (when reject to manual on bad quality, BQ_MAN, is True) becomes True and
the block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the MN_REJ_A.
Position Feedback Bad Quality Alarms (POS_CV_BQ and POS_SV_BQ)
The Control Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality (POS_CV_BQ) or the Split Range
Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality (POS_SV_BQ) generate a LVL_4 alarm when
either bad quality is detected.
Local and Remote Setpoint Mode (RS)
The output RS indicates when the PID_MA_ENH block is using the remote setpoint
input, RSP (when the block is in auto mode), as the setpoint to calculate CVO. The
Boolean value of RS is determined by a reset dominant latched output that is determined
by the following:
• When the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID, PID_MA_EXT, PID_MA_EXT_CASC

or MA_EXT, the setpoint mode is set to remote (RS is True).
• When the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID_MA or MA, the setpoint mode is set to
local (RS is False).
• When the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_CASC or
MA_REM, the operator can use the graphical interface to select remote or local
setpoint mode or the block can be externally commanded to the remote setpoint mode
by the pulsed RSP_SEL input.

Tracking Pulse (TRACK_SC)
When the RS changes state or the PID_MA_ENH is selected to be in auto mode, the track
pulse to align the set point, TRACK_SC, becomes True; the controller calculates the
integral term from the last calculated control output value.
POP values CV_L, CV_R, CV_MN, SV_L, SV_R, and SV_MN
The POP feature is designed to provide a valve closing hysteresis loop. This prevents a
control valve from throttling on the valve seat, reducing control valve wear. In the
decreasing direction, the feature does not allow CV to become less than the pop value of
CV_L until the characterized value of CVO becomes less than reset value, CV_R. When
the characterized value of CVO becomes less than CV_R, CV is set to the minimum
desired output value, CV_MN. In the increasing direction, CV remains equal to CV_MN
until the characterized value of CVO becomes greater than the value of CV_L. Once the
characterized value of CVO is greater than CV_L, CV will POP to the value of CV_L and
CV will follow the characterized value of CVO as long as it is above CV_L. The POP
feature is enabled when CV_L>CV_R>CV_MN and disabled when CV_L=CV_R=CV_
MN. This POP concept also applies to SV, when the MODE_OPT input enumeration
contains SPLIT, SPLIT_P is True, and the values of SV_L, SV_R and SV_MN are set.
Cascaded PID_MA_ENH Blocks
Proper operation of cascaded PID_MA_ENH blocks require the inner loop PID_MA_
ENH cascaded block option input, BLOCK_OPT, enumeration to be either PID_MA_
REM_CASC or PID_MA_EXT_CASC and the cascaded outer loop ID_MA_ENH block
option input, BLOCK_OPT, enumeration cannot be either PID_MA_REM_CASC or
PID_MA_EXT_CASCThe inner loop provides the control variable output which is
connected to the controlled device through a hard analog IO point, CV or, if applicable,
SV. The outer loop output, CVO, drives the remote setpoint input of the inner loop, RSP.
The cascaded blocks transfer information through the CASC_OUT output of the outer
loop to the CASC_IN input of the inner loop and CASC_OUT output of the inner loop to
CASC_IN input of the outer loop. A cascade control loop provides tighter and more
responsive control than a non-cascade control loop. However, determining which process
variables to use or add can be costly and unjustified, when a non-cascade control loop can
provide sufficient control.
When the PID_MA_ENH block is used in an override control scheme in conjunction with
an OVR_ST_ENH block, the CASC_OUT output of the PID_MA_ENH is connected to
the desired OVR_ST_ENH block input CASC_IN1, CASC_IN2, or CASC_IN3.

CASC_IN Input and CASC_OUT Output enumerations are as follows:

NO_CASC No cascade
NO_CASC— default value of CASC_IN and CASC_OUT. However, the output CASC_
OUT will never be NO_CASC when the controller is running. If no connection is made to
the CASC_IN input, the enumeration will be NO_CASC and the PID_MA_ENH block is
not in a cascade configuration.

DIRECT — determined by the CRTL_ACT enumeration. If CTRL_ACT is DIRECT,
then CASC_OUT will contain the enumeration DIRECT. This information is then
transferred between the cascaded PID_MA_ENH blocks by the CASC_OUT output of the
outer loop to the CASC_IN input of the inner loop and CASC_OUT output of the inner
loop to CASC_IN input of the outer loop. This shared information is necessary to prevent
the cascaded outer loop PID_MA_ENH block from winding up or down when the inner
loop cascaded block reaches its upper (US) or lower (LS) limit is True, respectively.
REVERSE — determined by the CRTL_ACT enumeration. If CRTL_ACT is REVERSE,
then CASC_OUT will contain the enumeration REVERSE. This information is then
transferred between the cascaded PID_MA_ENH blocks by the CASC_OUT output of the
outer loop to the CASC_IN input of the inner loop and CASC_OUT output of the inner
loop to CASC_IN input of the outer loop. This shared information is necessary to prevent
the cascaded outer loop PID_MA_ENH block from winding up or down when the inner
loop cascaded block reaches its US or LS limit is True, respectively.
TRACK — used by the inner loop cascade output (CASC_OUT) to command the outer
loop using the cascade input (CASC_IN) to track its tracking value (TV) input. The inner
loop sends this enumeration to the outer loop when inner loop output Tracking Status
(TK_OUT) is True. The input CASC_IN does not validate the outer loop CASC_OUT
TRACK enumeration; the TRACK information from the outer loop is not used by the
inner loop.
LOW_LIMITED — used by CASC_OUT to command the outer loop using CASC_IN
to inhibit the increase or decrease value of the outer loop CVO when the inner loop output
has reached its US or LS limits outputs or the inner loop is True, respectively. When the
inner loop CASC_OUT enumeration contains DIRECT and LOW_LIMITED, the outer
loop responds by inhibiting the increase in the outer loop output CVO, which is connected
to the inner loop RSP. When the inner loop CASC_OUT enumeration contains REVERSE
and LOW_LIMITED the outer loop responds by inhibiting the decrease in the outer loop
output, CVO, which is connected to the inner loop, RSP. The input CASC_IN does not
validate CASC_OUT LOW_LIMITED enumeration; the LOW_LIMITED information
from the outer loop is not used by the inner loop.
HIGH_LIMITED — used by the output, CASC_OUT to command the outer loop using
the cascade input, CASC_IN, to inhibit the increase or decrease value of the outer loop
control variable output, CVO, when the inner loop output has reached its US or LS limit
outputs, or the inner loop is True, respectively. When CASC_OUT enumeration contains
DIRECT and HIGH_LIMITED, the outer loop responds by inhibiting the decrease in the
outer loop output CVO, which is connected to the inner loop RSP. When CASC_OUT
enumeration contains REVERSE and HIGH_LIMITED, the outer loop responds by
inhibiting the increase in the outer loop output CVO, which is connected to the inner loop
RSP. The inner loop input CASC_IN does not validate the outer loop CASC_OUT
HIGH_LIMITED enumeration; the HIGH_LIMITED information from the outer loop is
not used by the inner loop.
TUNE_INNER — indicates the inner loop of cascaded PID_MA_ENH blocks has been
selected by the operator from the graphical interface to be in tuning mode.
TUNE_OUTER — indicates the outer loop of cascaded PID_MA_ENH blocks has been
selected by the operator from the graphical interface to be in tuning mode. If a
non-cascaded PID_MA_ENH block is used in an override control scenario with an OVR_
ST_ENH block, this enumeration will be contained in the CASC_OUT output when the
PID_MA_ENH block is in tuning mode.
The following figure displays a typical PID_MA_ENH Cascaded Controllers
configuration example.

Typical PID_MA_ENH Cascaded Controllers, CASC_OUT and CASC_IN Connections

Override Control Using PID_MA_ENH in Conjunction with OVR_ST_ENH
The override station block OVR_ST_ENH has the capability of controlling up to three
PID_MA_ENH blocks. Each PID_MA_ENH block used is connected to the OVR_ST_
ENH block outputs OVR_CTRL1, OVR_CTRL2, and, if three PID_MA_ENH blocks are
used, OVR_CTRL3, by the PID_MA_ENH block override control input OVR_CTRL.
Note When the PID_MA_ENH block is used in an override control scheme and is not in
tuning mode (TUN is False) the block cannot be put into manual mode.
OVR_CTRL enumerations are as follows:
OVR_CTRL Input Enumerations

Name Description
NONE None
OVR_CTRL-ER OVR_ST in use and EXTERNAL RESET
OVR_CTRL-TRACK OVR_ST in use and TRACK
OVR_CTRL-SELECTED OVR_ST in use and SELECTED
OVR_CTRL-ER-SELECTED OVR_ST in use and EXTERNAL RESET and

SELECTED
OVR_ OVR_ST in use and TRACK and SELECTED
CTRL-TRACK-SELECTED
NONE — used when no override station block, OVR_ST_ENH, is connected to the PID_
MA_ENH OVR_CTRL input.
OVR_CTRL — indicates override station block OVR_MA_ENH controls PID_MA_
ENH.
ER indicates OVR_ST_ENH is requesting an external reset from PID_MA_ENHThis
enumeration is equivalent to the PID_MA_ENH input ER being set to True and sets the
external reset output ER_OUT to True.
TRACK — indicates OVR_ST_ENHis requesting PID_MA_ENH to use the TV input to
calculate CVO.
SELECTED — indicates CVO of PID_MA_ENH is being used by OVR_ST_ENH. Up
to three PID_MA_ENH blocks may be connected to one OVR_ST_ENH block. When
this enumeration is used, the override select output OVRST_SEL is True, indicating the
OVR_ST_ENH block has selected this PID_MA_ENH block to calculate its outputs.
Only one of the two, or three, PID_MA_ENH blocks can be selected at any given time for
use by the OVR_ST_ENH block.

Manual Tuning Mode
If the BLOCK_OPT enumeration contains PID, the PID_MA_ENH faceplate enables the
Tune button in the lower corner of the faceplate.
Tuning Faceplate

The tuning faceplate enables the operator to modify the proportional gain (PG in %/%),
integral gain (IG in repeats/minute), and derivative gain (DG in minutes) values, P, I and
D. A number of tuning methods are available, with some more complex than others. This
document only covers basic manual tuning instructions.
Note The operator is responsible for ensuring that the system loop is in a tunable mode
and all safety precautions have been meet before beginning a manual tuning procedure. If
in doubt, contact GE for assistance.
➢ To modify P, I, and D
1. Begin with all gains values, PG, IG and DG, set to zero, denoted as P, I, and D in the
tuning faceplate.
2. Slowly increase the value of the proportional gain, P, until the output begins to
oscillate. This may take a considerable amount of time, depending on the
responsiveness of the loop; a large supply tank or irrigation pond level may take
several hours or even days to respond. However, this is not the case for most
circumstances. Wait for the loop to respond. If the system cannot tolerate an
overshoot of the setpoint, the value of PG will be much less than one half the value
that caused the output to begin oscillating.
3. When the oscillation begins, set P to approximately one half the value.
4. Increase the value of integral value, I, until the output is driven to the setpoint, in an
acceptable time frame for the process. System instability will result if the integral
value is too great.
5. The derivative gain, D, may not be necessary, but increasing the value of D causes
the system loop to respond more aggressively when there is a disturbance in the
system. If D is too great, the system will respond too rapidly and the output will
overshoot the setpoint.
If the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID_MA, PID_MA_REM or PID_REM_CASC, the
BLOCK_OPT enumerations are modified when TUN is True to allow output and setpoint
changes while in tuning mode. If the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID or PID_MA_
EXT, it is modified to be PID_MA_REM. If the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID_MA_
EXT_CASC, it is modified to be PID_MA_REM_CASC. The block returns to the
original BLOCK_OPT enumeration when TUN becomes False.
When a PID_MA_ENH block is used in an override control scheme, the OVR_ST_ENH
block ensures that the PID_MA_ENH block that is in tune mode is selected to drive the
output to facilitate tuning.

When installing a PID_MA_ENH block into the ToolboxST application code, the
ToolboxST application generates a pop up window that prompts the user to enter the
Device Name, Device Description, Format Specification for the process variable (PV) and
the Format Specification for the control variable (CV). The block automatically creates
the variables associated with the block and provides the appropriate attributes for each
Note Each Device name used in a controller must be unique.

39 Proportional Integral Derivative Enhanced_Version 2
(PID_MA_ENH_V2)
Block Category: PID_MA_ENH_V2, Controls (DCS)
The Proportional Integral Derivative Enhanced_Version 2
(PID_MA_ENH_V2) block is a controller that can be a parallel proportional, integral,
derivative, cascaded or non-cascaded, PID, a manual/auto station, MA, and has enhanced
input and output health quality status monitoring, ENH. The versatile block can be
configured to suit nearly all controller and/or manual/auto station applications, as well as
integrated override station capabilities when used in conjunction with the enhanced
override station block, OVR_ST_ENH_V2. The block configuration is defined by
enumerated inputs, which determine the block functionality and the information displayed
by the corresponding CIMPLICITY graphical interface(s). Additionally, the block
performs quality status monitoring of input signals and output signals and propagates the
quality status to the outputs CVO, CV, and SV.
The programmer must first identify the functions required for the application for which
the block will be used. When the controller function has been properly identified, the
programmer must select the corresponding enumerations from the BLOCK_OPT, CTRL_
ACT, and MODE_OPT inputs that will configure the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block to
perform as desired.

PID — used for a proportional, integral, derivative controller. It calculates the error or
difference between the process variable (PV) and the setpoint (SP), and manipulates the
controller output (CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV) to minimize the difference between
PV and SP. When the enumeration is PID only, the PID only property (PID_P) is True,
AUTO is True, and the setpoint is driven by the remote setpoint (RSP) input. The
graphical interface is view only and the operator cannot modify the setpoint or the output,
as both are logic driven.

EXT — indicates that an external setpoint value from the block RSP input will be used as
the auto setpoint, and can be viewed only by the operator. The following figure displays
an example of the CIMPICITY graphical interface with the BLOCK_OPT enumeration
MA_EXT.
MA_EXT Enumeration Faceplate

REM — indicates the operator can select between a remote setpoint and a local setpoint
value to be used as the auto setpoint. The operator sets the local setpoint using the
faceplate, and the remote setpoint value is connected to the RSP input pin. The remote
setpoint mode can be selected by the operator using the faceplate or using the pulsed input
pin, RSP_SEL.
Note The RSP_SEL input must be a pulsed input. If a continuous True input is used for
the RSP_SEL input, the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block will not return to remote setpoint
mode from the RSP_SEL input if the operator selects local from the graphical interface.
The following figure displays an example of the CIMPICITY graphical interface with the
BLOCK_OPT enumeration MA_REM in auto and local mode.

the setpoint, RSP, of the other PID_MA_ENH_V2 block, the inner loop. Usually, the
outer loop controls the primary control variable and the inner loop controls a rapidly
changing variable associated with the primary variable. The PID_MA_ENH_V2 that acts
as the inner loop has the CASC enumeration and the outer loop does not. The designation
of CASC allows the graphical interface to provide the option for the operator to view the
inner loop PID_MA_ENH_V2 graphical interface, as well as call the outer loop faceplate
to view the overall process loop viewed as one controller. The following figure is an inner
loop cascade example of the CIMPICITY graphical interface with the BLOCK_OPT
enumeration PID_MA_REM_CASC in auto and local mode.

BLOCK_OPT Output Properties
The following PID_MA_ENH_V2 output properties control the appearance of the
corresponding graphical interface based on the BLOCK_OPT enumeration:
• ID enumeration sets the PID_P property to True

• MA enumeration sets the MA_P property to True
• PID_MA enumeration sets the PID_MA_P property to True
• PID_MA_EXT enumeration sets the PID_MA_EXT_P property to True
• PID_MA_EXT_CASC enumeration sets the PID_MA_EXT_C_P property to True
• PID_MA_REM enumeration sets the PID_MA_REM_P property to True
• PID_MA_REM_CASC enumeration sets the PID_MA_REM_C_P property to True
• MA_EXT enumeration sets the MA_EXT_P property to True
• MA_REM enumeration sets the MA_REM_P property to True
• MA_MAN enumeration sets the MA_MAN_P property to True
CTRL_ACT enumerations are as follows:
CTRL_ACT Input Enumerations

Name Description
DIRECT Direct action (PV-SP)
REVERSE Reverse action (SP-PV)
DIRECT — indicates the value of CVO increases when the value of PV is greater than
the setpoint and the value of CVO decreases when the value of PV is less than the
setpoint.
REVERSE — indicates the value of CVO decreases when the value of PV is greater than
the setpoint and the value of CVO increases when the value of PV is less than the
setpoint.

Refer to GEI-100697,
WorkstationST/CIMPLICITY
Advanced Viewer Integration,
The valve output CVO must be within 5 units of the initial position input (INIT_POS)
value before the block can be set to lockout mode. When LOCK is True the block is in
lockout mode and block outputs, CVO, CV, and, if applicable, SV are prohibited from
modulating. If the block is in auto mode and not participating in an override control
scheme, the OVR_CTRL input enumeration is NONE, and the BLOCK_OPT
enumeration is not PID only, PID_P is False, then the block will be placed in manual
mode and the manual reject alarm, MAN_REJ_A, is activated. The operator’s ability to
switch to auto mode is also disabled until the block is removed from lockout mode. If the
block is in tuning mode, the tuning mode will also be removed and disabled. Additionally,
the local auto setpoint tracks the process variable input PV when the block is in lockout
mode.
POS — used when there is feedback available from the controlled device. Normally,
feedback is the valve position feedback; however, the POS enumeration can also be used
for motor speed or a variety of other device feedbacks. The position feedback value is
connected to the block input POS_CV and, if the MODE_OPT enumeration SPLIT is
selected, the position feedback from the secondary device is connected to the POS_SV
block input. When the POS enumeration is used, the block output POSFB_P is True, the
feedback value is displayed on the graphical interface faceplate, and, when the cursor is
placed over the feedback area, the pop up window displays the text CV Pos Feedback =
the instantaneous value, as displayed in the following figure.

POS Enumeration Faceplate with Controlling
SPLIT — indicates that the controller will output to two different devices using the block
application. The default characterization arrays are linear for both CV and SV and are as
follows:
• CV_X and SV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• CV_Y and SV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000

array elements in the same order as the SV_Y array, the characterization property,
CHAR_P, is True and the graphical interface displays a button in the lower right corner of
the faceplate with the pop up text Show Characterization, as displayed in the following
figure.
The follow characterizations are applied:
• CV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• CV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• SV_X = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000
• SV_Y = -10, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000000

The following PID_MA_ENH_V2 output properties control the appearance of the
corresponding graphical interface based on the MODE_OPT enumeration:
• NONE enumeration sets LOCK_P, POSFB_P, and SPLIT_P property to False

• LOCK enumeration sets the LOCK_P property to True
• POS enumeration sets the POSFB_P property to True
• SPLIT enumeration sets the SPLIT_P property to True
Basic PID_MA_ENH_V2 Block Functionality

The BLOCK_OPT, CTRL_ACT, and MODE_OPT inputs enumerations described in this
section are instrumental in determining the basic PID_MA_ENH_V2 functionality. For
example, the controller is required to be direct acting, have PID functionality, manual or
auto mode capability, ability to be software locked, and feedback is available from the
controlled device. The input enumerations selected are:
• BLOCK_OPT, PID_MA
• CTRL_ACT, DIRECT
• MODE_OPT, LOCK-POS

CTL Enumerations
Name Description
NO_CMD No command
TUN_ON_CMD Tune mode on command
TUN_OFF_CMD Tune mode off command
The operator controls the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block by clicking buttons on the

CIMPLICITY graphical interface pop up faceplate. Certain faceplate buttons carry an
enumerated value represented in the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block input CTL. The
enumerated values are transferred from the faceplate to the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block
through EGD using the CTL. When a command is sent from the faceplate to the PID_
MA_ENH_V2 block, the block runs the command and then, after one second, the block
overwrites the CTL input with the NO_CMD enumeration, thus resetting itself for the
next CTL command. The enumerations for CTL are displayed in the following table.
Note The commands are dependent on the enumerations of BLOCK_OPT and MODE_
OPT. For example, LOCK_CMD and UNLOCK_CMD enumerations are not used if
MODE_OPT does not contain the enumeration LOCK).

AUTO_CM places the block in auto mode from manual mode using the graphical
interface faceplate. The auto setpoint will be local, remote, or external depending on the
BLOCK_OPT enumeration and, if applicable, the operator selection as local or remote.
When the block is in auto mode the output AUTO is True.
MANUAL_CMD places the block in manual mode from auto mode using the graphical
interface faceplate. The operator manually sets the output to the controlled device. When
the block is in manual mode the output AUTO is FLASE.
LOCK_CMD — places the block in lock mode when the block output CVO is within 5
units of the initial position value, NIT_POS. This enumeration command also removes
the block from auto and places it in manual mode and sets the manual reject alarm, MN_
REJ_A, to True. When the block is in lock mode the output LOCK is True.
UNLOCK_CMD — removes the block from lock mode and sets the output LOCK to
False.
TUN_ON_CMD — places the block in tuning mode. The operator is not allowed to
change the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block to the tuning mode when the block is already in
lock mode.

Once the tuning mode has been attained, it can only be reset by one of the following
methods:
• Operator tune off command

• Block is set to lock mode
When the block is in tuning mode, the output TUN is True.
TUN_OFF_CMD — removes the block from the tuning mode and sets TUN to False.
REMOTE_CMD — commands the block, when in auto mode, to use the remote setpoint
value connected to block input pin, RSP, as the auto setpoint. When the block is in remote
mode the remote setpoint output, RS, is True.
LOCAL_CMD — commands the block, when in auto mode, to use the operator defined
local setpoint. When the block is in local setpoint mode, RS is False.
input status with the graphical interface of the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block, thus allowing
the operator to view the individual inputs that put the block into a manual reject mode.
The override graphical interface also enables the operator to block logic driven inputs to
MN_REJ Enumerations
Name Description
NO_OVR — indicates no manual reject command is active; manual reject output REJ_
MN is False
OVR — indicates a manual reject command is active; manual reject output REJ_MN is
True.
logic driven inputs to the override-type block. When a no block is active, REJ_MNB is
False.
logic driven inputs to the override type block. The BLOCK enumeration is not used by
OVR_ST_ENH_V2, but the block does pass the information it to the graphical interface
for display purposes using the output, REJ_MNB. When a block is active, REJ_MNB is
True.

Under most circumstances, if the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is in auto mode and a
validated MN_REJ input enumeration contains OVR, the block is removed from auto
mode and placed in manual mode, and MN_REJ_A is activated and the local auto
setpoint, if available, tracks PV. Exceptions are if the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID,
PID_Pis True, or the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block input OVR_CTLR contains the
enumeration OVRST_CTRL from the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block, indicating the override
station controls the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block.
Other Enumerated External Commands
There are three enumerated PID_MA_ENH_V2 block inputs that provide commands
from external blocks that control the PID_MA_ENH_V2 output, CVO. They are, in order
of priority, CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC, and CMD_TK.
Note When PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks are connected to and receiving inputs from the
OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block, it is recommended to use the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block for
any external commands, such as CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC, or CMD_TK actions for the
PID_MA_ENH_V2 block. In other words, do not connect CMD_OVR, CMD_FRC, and
CMD_TK type blocks to the PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks when using an OVR_ST_ENH_
V2 block. Instead, use the capability of the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block for these actions.

associates its input status with the graphical interface of the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block,
thus allowing the operator to view the individual inputs that place the block in override
mode. The override graphical interface also enables the operator to block logic driven
inputs to release the override condition through the graphical interface. CMD_OVR
Name Description
OVR_CMD is False.
CMDB is False.
CMDB is True.
If the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is in auto mode and a validated CMD_OVR input
enumeration contains OVR, an override command exists and MN_REJ_A is activated,
and the output will move to the input value of the override value, OV. The block is
removed from auto mode and placed in manual mode and the local auto setpoint, if
available, tracks PV.

increase and decrease inputs, PR_INC and PR_DEC, respectively.
the operator to view the individual inputs that put the block into a force mode. The force
force condition through the graphical interface. CMD_FRC enumerations are as follows:
Name Description
NO_FORCE — indicates no force command is active and the force command output,
FRC_CMD, is False.
FORCE — indicates a force command is active and if the CMD_OVR enumerated input
does not contain OVR (the output OVR_CMD is False), then the force command output
FRC_CMD is True.
NO-BLOCK— indicates the operator has not invoked a block of any of the associated
logic driven inputs to the force type block. When this enumeration is used, the
force-blocked output FRC_CMDB is False.
BLOCK indicates the operator has invoked a block of at least one of the associated logic
driven inputs to the force type block and sets the force-blocked output FRC_CMDB to
True.
If the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block validated CMD_FRC input enumeration contains
FORCE, a force command exists and the output of the block, CVO, moves to the input
value of the force value, FV.

precedence over a force command (CMD_FRC contains FORCE).

the operator to view the individual inputs that places the block in track mode. The track
track condition through the graphical interface. CMD_TK enumerations are as follows:
CMD_TK Enumerations
Name Description
OUT, is False.
TRACK — indicates a track command is active and TK_OUT is True.
track-blocked output TK_CMDB is False.
track-blocked output TK_CMDB is True.
If the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is in auto mode and a validated CMD_TK input
enumeration contains TRACK, a track command exists and the output of the block, CVO,
tracks the block tracking value input TV.
Priority Increase (PR_INC) and Decrease (PR_DEC) Commands
When the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block input PR_INC is True, the output CVO increases to
the high limit value (H) at the rate defined by the priority increase rate value R_INC_RT
(default value is 1 unit/sec). When the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block input PR_DEC is True
and PR_INC is False, the output CVO decreases to the low limit value (L) at the rate
defined by the priority decrease rate value PR_DEC_RT (default value is 1 unit/sec). The
inputs PR_INC and PR_DEC should be programmed to be mutually exclusive events, but
if at any time they both become True, then PR_INC is the dominate input and the value of
CVO increases to H at the rate defined by PR_INC_RT.
Note A force command (the enumeration of CMD_FRC contains FORCE) or an

override command (the enumeration of CMD_OVR contains OVR) have precedence over
the PR_INC and PR_DEC inputs.

Inhibit Increase (INH_INC) and Decrease (INH_DEC) Commands
The PID_MA_ENH_V2 is capable of inhibiting the output control variable, CVO, from
increasing or decreasing in value absent a force or override command, FORCE from the
enumerated CMD_FRC input or OVR from the enumerated CMD_OVR input.

inputs to obtain an auto permit condition through the graphical interface. AU_PMT
AU_PMT Enumerations
Name Description
NO_PERM — indicates a permit to allow the block to be placed in auto mode has not
been met and the auto permit output, PMT_AU, is False.
PERM — indicates all permits for the block to be placed in auto mode have been met and
PMT_AU is True, provided the BLOCK_OPT is not PID only, PID_P is False, the block
is not part of an override scheme, OVRST_CTRL is FASE, and there is no bad quality
detected and the reset override, RSP_OV is False, when BQ_MAN is set to True. The
block outputs, REJ_MN, OVR_CMD, LOCK, and MA_MAN_P must also all be False
for PMT_AU to be True.
logic driven inputs to the auto permit block. When this enumeration is used, the auto
permit bypass output PMT_AUB is False.

BYPASS— indicates the operator has invoked a bypass of at least one of the associated
logic driven inputs to the auto permit block. When this enumeration is used, PMT_AUB
is True.

associates its input status with the graphical interface of the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block,
thus allowing the operator to view the individual inputs that provide a permit to allow the
interface. MOD_PMT enumerations are as follows:
Name Description
NO_PERM — indicates a permit to allow the block to modulate the output, CVO, has
not been met and the permit to modulate output, PMT_MOD, is False. If the MOD_PMT
input enumeration contains NO_PERM, CVO equals the INIT_POS input value.
PERM — indicates all permits to allow the block to modulate the output, CVO, have
logic driven inputs to the modulate permit block. When this enumeration is used, the
modulate permit bypass output, PMT_MODB, is False.
BYPASS— indicates the operator has invoked a bypass of at least one of the associated
logic driven inputs to the modulate permit block. When this enumeration is used, PMT_
MODB is True.
Auto Select (AU_SEL) is a pulsed input that, if permits allow, switches the block from
manual to auto mode, setting the output AUTO to True. The input must be pulsed.
Remote Select (RSP_SEL) is a pulsed input that instructs the block to use the remote
setpoint input RSP as the setpoint used to calculate the block outputs, CVO, CV, and, if
applicable, SV, when the block is in auto mode. The input must be pulsed.
Setpoint High (SH) and Low (SL) Limit Values
Block inputs SH and SL, are the setpoint high and low limits, respectively. These values
bound the block output, SP, the setpoint used to calculate the error, which is used for the
proportional gain portion of the PID calculations.

Setpoint Adjustment Rate (SR)
The rate of change of the block setpoint, SP, used to calculate the error used in the PID
calculations is restricted by the block SR input value, in units/sec. The setpoint used for
the error calculation is passed without rate limit restrictions directly to SP when the
controller is powered up, track status, TK_OUT, is True, or the BLOCK_OPT
enumeration is PID_MA_EXT_CASC or PID_MA_REM_CASC, and the remote
setpoint mode, RS, is TRUE.
Setpoint Value Before Ramp (SI)
The internal setpoint block output, SI, is the value of the setpoint before the SR is applied.
For example, if the setpoint changes from 0 to 10 instantaneously, SI will change from 0
to 10 instantaneously while if SR is set at 1 unit/sec, SP will ramp from 0 to 10 in 10
seconds. SI is also bound by limit inputs SH and SL, respectively.
Scale Factor (SF) is used to scale the process variable, PV, and the setpoint used to
calculate the error value that is used in the PID calculations. The setpoint used for the
error calculation, the block output SP, may be the value of the operator-supplied setpoint,
the value of the remote setpoint, RSP, or a tracking value, depending on the state of the
block.
Setpoint Track (SP_TRACK)
When SP_TRACK is True, the setpoint tracks PV in manual or RSP in auto and remote
mode, the output AUTO is True when the block is in auto mode, and RS is True when the
block is in remote mode. If SP_TRACK is False and RS is True, the setpoint tracks RSP.
Otherwise, the operator controls the setpoint value from the graphical interface.
Manual Adjustment Rate (MR)
The rate of change of the control variable output, CVO, is restricted by the block manual
adjustment ramp rate input value MR, in units/sec.
Square of the Error (SQR_ERR)
The square of the calculated error is used if the SQR_ERR parameter is set to True and is
multiplied by PG to calculate the proportional term in the PID calculations. When the
value of the error is greater than one, the square of the error provides a more robust
controller response, when the error is less than one the controller will respond less
aggressively.

Tracking Status (TK_OUT)
The H and L values are The track status block output TK_OUT can be set to True by a number of input
dependent on the enable conditions, such as bad quality, priority increase or decrease, no permit to modulate,
process limit inputs EN_ manual mode, force command, override command, increase or decrease inhibit, lock,
PROC_LIM_HIGH and EN_ track command enumeration (CASC_IN enumeration contains TRACK) or the override
PROC_LIM_LOW, as well as station tracking input (OVR_CTRL enumeration contains TRACK). When TK_OUT is
the PROC_LIM_HIGH and True, the PID_ MA_ENH_V2 is in tracking mode and the block output, CVO (also CV_X
PROC_LIM_LOW limits, and, if applicable, SV_X for characterized outputs CV and SV, respectively) tracks the
respectively appropriate value based on the parameter that set TK_OUT to True. The value may be the
override value (OV), force value (FV), a priority increase or decrease command will
move to the H or L limit values at PR_INC_RT or PR_DEC_RT, the track value (TV) or
the initial position value (INIT_POS). When the increase (DEC_INH) or decrease (INC_
INH) inhibit inputs, or transition from True to False, TK_OUT is True for one scan,
which realigns the setpoint and the calculated PID values.
Process (High EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH) and Low (EN_PROC_LIM_LOW) Limits
The user can limit the process control range further using the PROC_LIM_LOW and
PROC_LIM_HIGH parameters that are enabled by their respective enable parameters,
EN_PROC_LIM_LOW and EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH. This feature enables the user to
control process regulation limits while allowing force and override values to operate
independently on the PID_MA_ENH_V2 limits (H and L). When EN_PROC_LIM_LOW
or EN_PROC_LIM_HIGH is True, the PROC_LIM_LOW and PROC_LIM_HIGH
replace the corresponding L and H limit values.
Error Deadband Equality (ERR_C)
The ERR_C, when True, enables the use of error dead band equality processing. When
the absolute value of the error is less than the input value ERR_CDB (the error dead
band), the controller equates that the error is zero.
Refer to the section, PID Track External Reset (ER) may be used to enable several PID_MA_ENH_V2 controllers to
at Limit until PV and SP Cross function in parallel, typically when the minimum or maximum CVO value will be
(PV_SP_LIM_TRK). selected. External reset allows all PID_MA_ENH_V2 controllers in the loop to calculate
CVO based on process conditions while preventing windup. The selected CVO is sent to
the control element and to the other PID_MA_ENH_V2 controllers in the loop. The ER
command block input, or an ER enumeration from OVR_CTRL enables the external reset
function. The selected CVO is connected to the external reset value (EV).

The following figure displays the typical OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block pin connections using
a Min/Max configuration with two override controlled PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks.

When the PID tracks at limit until PV and SP cross input (PV_SP_LIM_TRK) is True,
and the ER command is True, the reset does not occur until the following conditions are
all False:
• PV value becomes greater than the SP value when US is True and the controller is
reverse acting
• PV value becomes greater than the SP value when LS is True and the controller is
direct acting
• PV value becomes less than the SP value when LS is True and the controller is
reverse acting
• PV value becomes less than the SP value when US is True and the controller is direct
acting
PID Track at Limit until PV and SP Cross (PV_SP_LIM_TRK)
If PV_SP_LIM_TRK is True, when the controller output reaches either H or L limit, the
controller tracks the limit value until PV crosses SP. Once PV crosses SP, the controller
resumes the controlling action. The following graph displays PV, SP, and CVO for a PID_
MA_ENH_V2 block with PV_SP_LIM_TRK both True and False. Notice that with PV_
SP_LIM_TRK set to True (left of the black vertical line) CVO remains at the limit until
PV crosses SP. With PV_SP_LIM_TRK set to False (right of the black vertical line),
CVO only tracks the limit until PV changes slope.
PV_SP_LIM_TRK Set to True and False
The graph displays PV (blue sine wave), SP (green horizontal line), and CVO (brown sine
wave, capped). With PV_SP_LIM_TRK set to True, the controller behaves as displayed
in the graph by the data to the left of the vertical black line. With PV_SP_LIM_TRK set
to False, the controller behaves as displayed by the data to the right of the vertical black
line.
Each time SP and PV cross the threshold defined by the range of ERR_CDB, (the error
for dead band PV and SP equality), and the error for dead band equality input, ERR_C, is
True, the controller calculates the integral term from the last calculated control output
value, CVO (BLOCK_OPT enumeration must contain PID).

Inhibit Proportional and Derivative Action on Setpoint Change (INH_PDG)
The INH_PDG parameter, when True, inhibits proportional and derivative controller
action. When the SP change is detected to exceed a scan time calculated dead band
derived from the value of the dead band setpoint to inhibit the proportional and derivative
action, INH_PDG_CDB, in units/sec; the controller calculates the integral term from the
last calculated control output value, CVO (BLOCK_OPT enumeration must contain PID).
Note If INH_PDG is True and the setpoint is constantly changing (possibly a remote
setpoint) by an amount greater than the scan time calculated dead band specified by INH_
PDG_CDB, then the controller is an integral only controller.
Bumpless Proportional and Integral Gain Value Changes (PG_C and IG_C)
If the value of the proportional gain (PG) or the integral gain (IG) is variable, the input
parameters PG_C and IG_C provide bumpless controller action when True. If the value of
PG or IG exceeds the dead band PG_CDB for PG and IG_CDB for IG, and the
corresponding PG_C or IG_C parameter is True, the controller calculates the integral term
from the last calculated control output value, CVO (BLOCK_OPT enumeration must
contain PID).
Feed Forward (FF)
When the BLOCK_OPT input enumeration contains PID the block provides a FF input
that is added as a last step before the output value of CVO and characterized output
values of CV and, if applicable, SV are output from the ID_MA_ENH block.

Status Propagation and Bad Quality Determination of CVO, CV, and SV
Outputs
The PID_MA_ENH_V2 block monitors the quality status values of various inputs and
connected outputs to determine the quality status value of CVO, CV, and SV (if the
MODE_OPT enumeration contains SPLIT then the split output property SPLIT_P is
True).
The quality status value of the control variable output CV is either the quality status value
of CVO or, if SPLIT_P is True and the quality status value of BKCAL_IN_CV is > 200
and < 203, the quality status value of CV is assigned a quality status value of 196, NOT_
The quality status value of the split range control variable output SV is either the quality
SV is > 200 and < 203, the quality status value of SV is assigned a quality status value of
196, NOT_LIMITED-INTIALIZATION_ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC.
The quality status value of the control variable output CVO is determined by the how the
block is used. If the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is connected to an OVR_ST_ENH_V2
block, the enumerated OVR_CTRL input contains the enumeration OVR_CTRL, or the
block is used as the outer loop in a cascaded scenario, the outputs CV and SV are not
connected to hard I/O. Therefore, the quality status values of CV and SV are not
considered when the quality status value of CVO is calculated. This eliminates the
propagation of erroneous CVO quality status values that would result from CV and SV
not being connected to hard I/O points. Otherwise, the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block
calculates the quality status value of CVO from appropriate inputs with quality status
values, input parameters values, and the connected hard I/O quality status values of CV
and, if the MODE_OPT contains SPLIT and SPLIT_P is True), SV. The analog output
variables attached to CV and SV are monitored for quality status, resulting in the
following possible CVO quality status values:
• 12 - I/O Pack Health Failed – NOT_LIMITED-DEVICE_FAILURE-BAD

• 16 - I/O Pack Health Failed – NOT_LIMITED-SENSOR_FAILURE-BAD
If neither of these conditions exists, the quality status value of CVO is calculated by the
PID_MA_ENH_V2 block to be from 192 to 198, depending on numerous variables used
in the quality status calculation, which result in the following values:

• Status value 196 indicates CVO is NOT_LIMITED-INITIALIZED_
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC
ACKNOWLEDGE-GOODC

When using FOUNDATION fieldbus, if the split range mode is not selected (SPLIT_P is
False) and the quality status value of BKCAL_IN_CV or BKCAL_IN_SV is > 200 and <
LS and US are False. When split range mode is selected (SPLIT_P is True), the
FOUNDATION fieldbus initialization acknowledge provided in the previous sections
indicates the quality status of CV and SV.
CV_BQ, and BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ are False and the value of CVO is less than or equal
to the low limit (LS is True), 1 is added to the CVO status value.
CV_BQ, and BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ are False, and the value of CVO is greater than or
equal to the high limit (US is True), 2 is added to the CVO status value.
CVO status is based upon the following in order of priority:
• The analog output variables attached to CV and SV are monitored for quality status. This results in the following
possible CVO statuses:
BQ is True, the value of CVO status is CONSTANT-GOODC [195].
BQ is True, the value of CVO status is CONSTANT-GOODC [195]. If the following are False, CVI_BQ, EV_BQ,
PV_BQ, RSP_BQ, RSP_OV, FFWD_BQ, TV_BQ, BKCALIN_CV_BQ, and BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ and the value of
CVO is greater than or equal to the high limit, US is True, 2 is added to the CVO status value.

Manual Auto Configuration
Typical connections for PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks with BLOCK_OPT enumerations
MA, MA_EXT, and MA_REM without a control variable input (CVI) available are
displayed in the following figure. Note the connection of SP to CVI.
PID_MA_ENH Controller with BLOCK_OPT Enumeration

The PID_MA_ENH_V2 block monitors and propagates the health or quality status of I/O
points CVI, EV, FF, PV, RSP, TV, BKCAL_IN_CV, BKCAL_IN_SV, POS_CV, POS_SV
and determines when action must be taken because a bad quality related input.
The following inputs are monitored for quality status based on block operational mode
input BLOCK_OPT:
• CVI is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen as
MA, MA_EXT or MA_REM. These are the only modes, which allow the bad quality
of CVI to affect block operation.
• V input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen as
MA_EXT_CASC. These are the only modes that allow the bad quality of EV to
affect block operation.
• FF input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen as
MA_EXT_CASC. These are the only modes that allow the bad quality of F to affect
block operation.
• PV input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen as
MA, MA_EXT, MA_REM, PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_
CASC, PID_MA_EXTor PID_MA_EXT_CASC. These are the only modes that
allow the bad quality of PV to affect block operation.

• RSP input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen
as MA_EXT, MA_REM, PID, PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_CASC, PID_MA_
EXT or PID_MA_EXT_CASC. These are the only modes that allow the bad quality
of RSP to affect block operation.
• TV input is only used in the block calculation when the operational mode is chosen
as MA, MA_EXT, MA_REM, PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_
allow the bad quality of TV to affect block operation.
The following inputs are monitored for quality status based on the mode input MODE_
OPT containing POS:
• POS_CV input is used to determine if bad quality (POS_CV_BQ) is present and if

CV to warrant an enabled high differential alarm, POS_CV_DH.
• POS_SV input is used to determine if bad quality (POS_SV_BQ) is present and if
SV to warrant an enabled high differential alarm, POS_SV_DH.
Bad Quality Outputs
Control Variable PID Track Value Bad Quality (BKCAL_IN_CV_BQ) is determined by
the following conditions:

• Control variable PID track value input BKCAL_IN_CV is determined to be bad
quality, a quality status value < 32.
Split Range Variable PID Track Value Bad Quality (BKCAL_IN_SV_BQ) is determined
by the following conditions:

• Split range PID track value input BKCAL_IN_SV is determined to be bad quality (a
• FOUNDATION fieldbus inputs BKCAL_IN_CV or BKCAL_IN_SV, if used, status
values are ≥ 196 and ≤ 227.
• CVO is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
Control Variable Input Bad Quality (CVI_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:
• BLOCK_OPT enumeration is MA, MA_EXT, or MA_REM and the control variable

input CVI is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).

External Reset Value Bad Quality (EV_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:

• EV is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
Process Variable Bad Quality (PV_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:

• PV is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
Remote Setpoint Bad Quality (RSP_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:
• BLOCK_OPT enumeration is MA_EXT, MA_REM, PID, PID_MA, PID_MA_EXT,

PID_MA_EXT_CASC, PID_MA_REM, or PID_MA_REM_CASC
• RSP is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
• RSP_OV is set to True when the status of RSP is detected as a constant value
condition (195) and the block is in a cascade mode (BLOCK_OPT is PID_MA_
EXT_CASC or PID_MA_REM_CASC). This condition indicates that an upstream
PID_MA_ENH has a bad quality condition and is now in manual and/or tracking
mode. This is designed to propagate to all blocks that make up the loop, including the
OVR_ST_ENH.
Track Value Bad Quality (TV_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:

• TV is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
Feed Forward Bad Quality (FFWD_BQ) is determined by the following conditions:

• FF is determined to be bad quality (a quality status value < 32).
FOUNDATION fieldbus Command to Manual Operation (FF_IMAN) is set to True when the
status of a FOUNDATION fieldbus AO is quality status is detected as 196-227. FF_IMAN
will reject the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block to a manual and/or tracking state. This status
indicates that a downstream FF AO is requesting to initialize a control output, or it is in a
fault state or is not inviting the PID_MA_ENH_V2 to participate in the control process. It
is a requirement that BK_CAL_IN_CV is connected to the corresponding BK_CAL_OUT
of the FF AO that is driven by CV. The corresponding requirement exists for BK_CAL_
IN_SV when split range control is used.
Control Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality (POS_CV_BQ) is determined by the
following condition: POS_CV is determined to be bad quality a quality status value < 32),
POSFB_P, is True). This bad quality detection also generates a LVL_4 alarm.
Split Range Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality (POS_SV_BQ) is determined by the
following condition: POS_SV is determined to be bad quality a quality status value < 32),
POSFB_P is True). This bad quality detection also generates a LVL_4 alarm.

Alarmed Points
The following output points generate a LVL_4 alarm when activated:
• POS_CV_DH
• POS_SV_DH
• MN_REJ_A
• POS_CV_BQ
• POS_SV_BQ
Note If the POS_DH_T parameter is set to zero, both high deviation alarms, POS_CV_
DH and POS_SV_DH, will be disabled.

• Position feedback property (POSFB_P) must be True (MODE_OPT must contain
POS).
• Input variable POS_CV or POS_SV have a GOOD quality status indication for the
corresponding alarm to be activated (GOOD quality status range value is from 128 to
155 or 192 to 227).
Manual Reject Alarm (MN_REJ_A) cannot be activated when the enumerated
override station control input OVR_CTRL contains OVR_CTRL or the enumerated
BLOCK_OPT input is PID only (the output PID_P is True). Otherwise, the following
conditions activate the reject to manual alarm, MN_REJ_A:
• When MN_REJ input from a manual reject-type block contains OVR, the PID_MA_
ENH_V2 block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the MN_
REJ_A.
• When CMD_OVR input from an override-type block contains OVR, the PID_MA_
ENH_V2 block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the MN_
REJ_A.

• When input parameter reject to manual on bad quality, BQ_MAN, is set to True, the
PID_MA_ENH block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the
MN_REJ_A, when any of the following bad quality indicators becomes True:
− BKCAL_CV_BQ
− BKCAL_SV_BQ
− OBQ
− CVI_BQ
− EV_BQ
− PV_BQ
− RSP_BQ
− TV_BQ
− FFWD_BQ
• If BQ_MAN is False, the block will be put into tracking mode (TK_OUT will be
True).
• If the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is in auto mode and the operator places the block in
lock mode (LOCK is True), the block will be put in manual mode and the MN_REJ_
A will be activated.
• If the BLOCK_OPT enumerated input is changed to MA_MAN and the block is in
auto mode, the block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the
MN_REJ_A.
• If the block is in auto mode, the BLOCK_OPT enumerated input is ID_MA_EXT_
CASC or PID_MA_REM_CASC, and the quality status value of the remote setpoint
RSP is equal to 195, CONSTANT-GOODC, then the remote setpoint override (RSP_
OVR) (when reject to manual on bad quality, BQ_MAN, is True) becomes True and
the block will reject from auto mode to manual control and generate the MN_REJ_A.
Position Feedback Bad Quality Alarms (POS_CV_BQ and POS_SV_BQ)
The Control Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality (POS_CV_BQ) or the Split Range
Variable Position Feedback Bad Quality (POS_SV_BQ) generate a LVL_4 alarm when
either bad quality is detected.
Local and Remote Setpoint Mode (RS)
The output RS indicates when the PID_MA_ENH block is using the remote setpoint
input, RSP (when the block is in auto mode), as the setpoint to calculate CVO. The
Boolean value of RS is determined by a reset dominant latched output that is determined
by the following:
• When the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID, PID_MA_EXT, PID_MA_EXT_CASC

or MA_EXT, the setpoint mode is set to remote (RS is True).
• When the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID_MA or MA, the setpoint mode is set to
local (RS is False).
• When the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID_MA_REM, PID_MA_REM_CASC or
MA_REM, the operator can use the graphical interface to select remote or local
setpoint mode or the block can be externally commanded to the remote setpoint mode
by the pulsed RSP_SEL input.

Tracking Pulse (TRACK_SC)
When the RS changes state or the PID_MA_ENH_V2 is selected to be in auto mode, the
track pulse to align the set point, TRACK_SC, becomes True; the controller calculates the
integral term from the last calculated control output value.
POP values CV_L, CV_R, CV_MN, SV_L, SV_R, and SV_MN
The POP feature is designed to provide a valve closing hysteresis loop. This prevents a
control valve from throttling on the valve seat, reducing control valve wear. In the
decreasing direction, the feature does not allow CV to become less than the pop value of
CV_L until the characterized value of CVO becomes less than reset value, CV_R. When
the characterized value of CVO becomes less than CV_R, CV is set to the minimum
desired output value, CV_MN. In the increasing direction, CV remains equal to CV_MN
until the characterized value of CVO becomes greater than the value of CV_L. Once the
characterized value of CVO is greater than CV_L, CV will POP to the value of CV_L and
CV will follow the characterized value of CVO as long as it is above CV_L. The POP
feature is enabled when CV_L>CV_R>CV_MN and disabled when CV_L=CV_R=CV_
MN. This POP concept also applies to SV, when the MODE_OPT input enumeration
contains SPLIT, SPLIT_P is True, and the values of SV_L, SV_R and SV_MN are set.
Cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 Blocks
Proper operation of cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks require the inner loop PID_MA_
ENH_V2 cascaded block option input, BLOCK_OPT, enumeration to be either PID_
MA_REM_CASC or PID_MA_EXT_CASC and the cascaded outer loop PID_MA_
ENH_V2 block option input, BLOCK_OPT, enumeration cannot be either PID_MA_
REM_CASC or PID_MA_EXT_CASC. The inner loop provides the control variable
output which is connected to the controlled device through a hard analog IO point, CV or,
if applicable, SV. The outer loop output, CVO, drives the remote setpoint input of the
inner loop, RSP. The cascaded blocks transfer information through the CASC_OUT
output of the outer loop to the CASC_IN input of the inner loop and CASC_OUT output
of the inner loop to CASC_IN input of the outer loop. A cascade control loop provides
tighter and more responsive control than a non-cascade control loop. However,
determining which process variables to use or add can be costly and unjustified, when a
non-cascade control loop can provide sufficient control.
When the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is used in an override control scheme in conjunction
with an OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block, the CASC_OUT output of the PID_MA_ENH_V2 is
connected to the desired OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block input CASC_IN1, CASC_IN2, or
CASC_IN3.

CASC_IN Input and CASC_OUT Output enumerations are as follows:

TUNE_OUTER TUNE_INNER, and TUNE_OUTER

NO_CASC No cascade
NO_CASC — the default value of CASC_IN and CASC_OUT. However, the output
CASC_OUT will never be NO_CASC when the controller is running. If no connection is
made to the CASC_IN input, the enumeration will be NO_CASC and the PID_MA_
ENH_V2 block is not in a cascade configuration.
DIRECT — determined by the CRTL_ACT enumeration. If CTRL_ACT is DIRECT,
then CASC_OUT will contain the enumeration DIRECT. This information is then
transferred between the cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks by the CASC_OUT output
of the outer loop to the CASC_IN input of the inner loop and CASC_OUT output of the
inner loop to CASC_IN input of the outer loop. This shared information is necessary to
prevent the cascaded outer loop PID_MA_ENH_V2 block from winding up or down
when the inner loop cascaded block reaches its upper (US) or lower (LS) limit is True,
respectively.
REVERSE — determined by the CRTL_ACT enumeration. If CRTL_ACT is REVERSE,
then CASC_OUT will contain the enumeration REVERSE. This information is then
transferred between the cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks by the CASC_OUT output
of the outer loop to the CASC_IN input of the inner loop and CASC_OUT output of the
inner loop to CASC_IN input of the outer loop. This shared information is necessary to
prevent the cascaded outer loop PID_MA_ENH_V2 block from winding up or down
when the inner loop cascaded block reaches its US or LS limit is True, respectively.
TRACK — used by the inner loop cascade output (CASC_OUT) to command the outer
loop using the cascade input (CASC_IN) to track its tracking value (TV) input. The inner
loop sends this enumeration to the outer loop when inner loop output Tracking Status
(TK_OUT) is True. The input CASC_IN does not validate the outer loop CASC_OUT
TRACK enumeration; the TRACK information from the outer loop is not used by the
inner loop.

LOW_LIMITED — used by CASC_OUT to command the outer loop using CASC_IN
to inhibit the increase or decrease value of the outer loop CVO when the inner loop output
has reached its US or LS limits outputs or the inner loop is True, respectively. When the
inner loop CASC_OUT enumeration contains DIRECT and LOW_LIMITED, the outer
loop responds by inhibiting the increase in the outer loop output CVO, which is connected
to the inner loop RSP. When the inner loop CASC_OUT enumeration contains REVERSE
and LOW_LIMITED the outer loop responds by inhibiting the decrease in the outer loop
output, CVO, which is connected to the inner loop, RSP. The input CASC_IN does not
validate CASC_OUT LOW_LIMITED enumeration; the LOW_LIMITED information
from the outer loop is not used by the inner loop.
HIGH_LIMITED — used by the output, CASC_OUT to command the outer loop using
the cascade input, CASC_IN, to inhibit the increase or decrease value of the outer loop
control variable output, CVO, when the inner loop output has reached its US or LS limit
outputs, or the inner loop is True, respectively. When CASC_OUT enumeration contains
DIRECT and HIGH_LIMITED, the outer loop responds by inhibiting the decrease in the
outer loop output CVO, which is connected to the inner loop RSP. When CASC_OUT
enumeration contains REVERSE and HIGH_LIMITED, the outer loop responds by
inhibiting the increase in the outer loop output CVO, which is connected to the inner loop
RSP. The inner loop input CASC_IN does not validate the outer loop CASC_OUT
HIGH_LIMITED enumeration; the HIGH_LIMITED information from the outer loop is
not used by the inner loop.
TUNE_INNER — indicates the inner loop of cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks has
been selected by the operator from the graphical interface to be in tuning mode.
TUNE_OUTER — indicates the outer loop of cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks has
been selected by the operator from the graphical interface to be in tuning mode. If a
non-cascaded PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is used in an override control scenario with an
OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block, this enumeration will be contained in the CASC_OUT output
when the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is in tuning mode.
Typical PID_MA_ENH_V2 Cascaded Controllers, CASC_OUT and CASC_IN Connections

Override Control Using PID_MA_ENH_V2 in Conjunction with OVR_ST_
ENH_V2
The OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block has the capability of controlling up to three PID_MA_
ENH_V2 blocks. Each PID_MA_ENH_V2 block used is connected to the OVR_ST_
ENH_V2 block outputs OVR_CTRL1, OVR_CTRL2, and, if three PID_MA_ENH_V2
blocks are used, OVR_CTRL3, by the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block override control input
OVR_CTRL.
Note When the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is used in an override control scheme and is
not in tuning mode (TUN is False) the block cannot be put into manual mode.
OVR_CTRL enumerations are as follows:
OVR_CTRL Input Enumerations

Name Description
NONE None
OVR_CTRL-ER OVR_ST in use and EXTERNAL RESET
OVR_CTRL-TRACK OVR_ST in use and TRACK
OVR_CTRL-SELECTED OVR_ST in use and SELECTED
OVR_CTRL-ER-SELECTED OVR_ST in use and EXTERNAL RESET and

SELECTED
OVR_ OVR_ST in use and TRACK and SELECTED
CTRL-TRACK-SELECTED
NONE — used when no override station block, OVR_ST_ENH_V2, is connected to the

PID_MA_ENH_V2 OVR_CTRL input.
OVR_CTRL — indicates override station block OVR_MA_ENH controls PID_MA_
ENH_V2.
ER — indicates OVR_ST_ENH_V2 is requesting an external reset from PID_MA_ENH_
V2. This enumeration is equivalent to the PID_MA_ENH_V2 input ER being set to True
and sets the external reset output ER_OUT to True.
TRACK — indicates OVR_ST_ENH_V2 is requesting PID_MA_ENH_V2 to use the
TV input to calculate CVO.
SELECTED — indicates CVO of PID_MA_ENH_V2 is being used by OVR_ST_ENH_
V2. Up to three PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks may be connected to one OVR_ST_ENH_V2
block. When this enumeration is used, the override select output OVRST_SEL is True,
indicating the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block has selected this PID_MA_ENH_V2 block to
calculate its outputs. Only one of the two, or three, PID_MA_ENH_V2 blocks can be
selected at any given time for use by the OVR_ST_ENH_V2 block.

Manual Tuning Mode
If the BLOCK_OPT enumeration contains PID, the PID_MA_ENH_V2 faceplate enables
the Tune button in the lower corner of the faceplate.
Tuning Faceplate

The tuning faceplate enables the operator to modify the proportional gain (PG in %/%),
integral gain (IG in repeats/minute), and derivative gain (DG in minutes) values, P, I and
D. A number of tuning methods are available, with some more complex than others. This
document only covers basic manual tuning instructions.
Note The operator is responsible for ensuring that the system loop is in a tunable mode
and all safety precautions have been meet before beginning a manual tuning procedure. If
in doubt, contact GE for assistance.
➢ To modify P, I, and D
1. Begin with all gains values, PG, IG and DG, set to zero, denoted as P, I, and D in the
tuning faceplate.
2. Slowly increase the value of the proportional gain, P, until the output begins to
oscillate. This may take a considerable amount of time, depending on the
responsiveness of the loop; a large supply tank or irrigation pond level may take
several hours or even days to respond. However, this is not the case for most
circumstances. Wait for the loop to respond. If the system cannot tolerate an
overshoot of the setpoint, the value of PG will be much less than one half the value
that caused the output to begin oscillating.
3. When the oscillation begins, set P to approximately one half the value.
4. Increase the value of integral value, I, until the output is driven to the setpoint, in an
acceptable time frame for the process. System instability will result if the integral
value is too great.
5. The derivative gain, D, may not be necessary, but increasing the value of D causes
the system loop to respond more aggressively when there is a disturbance in the
system. If D is too great, the system will respond too rapidly and the output will
overshoot the setpoint.
If the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID_MA, PID_MA_REM or PID_REM_CASC, the
BLOCK_OPT enumerations are modified when TUN is True to allow output and setpoint
changes while in tuning mode. If the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID or PID_MA_
EXT, it is modified to be PID_MA_REM. If the BLOCK_OPT enumeration is PID_MA_
EXT_CASC, it is modified to be PID_MA_REM_CASC. The block returns to the
original BLOCK_OPT enumeration when TUN becomes False.
When a PID_MA_ENH_V2 block is used in an override control scheme, the OVR_ST_
ENH_V2 block ensures that the PID_MA_ENH_V2 block that is in tune mode is selected
to drive the output to facilitate tuning.

When installing a PID_MA_ENH_V2 block into the ToolboxST application code, the
ToolboxST application generates a pop up window that prompts the user to enter the
Device Name, Device Description, Format Specification for the process variable (PV) and
the Format Specification for the control variable (CV). The block automatically creates
the variables associated with the block and provides the appropriate attributes for each

40 Proportional Gain (PROP_GAIN)
Block Category: PROP_GAIN, Controls (DCS)
The Proportional Gain (PROP_GAIN) block generates a gain value to be use by a PID
type block as its proportional gain parameter. This block is used to reduce the
proportional gain of a controller as the absolute error, ABS(SP - PV), decreases and
increase the proportional gain as the absolute error increases.
PROP_GAIN Block
OUT is calculated by the following equation but cannot be greater than G_MAX or less
than G_MIN.
Where: G_MAX > G_MIN, E_HIGH > E_LOW and G_MIN ≤ OUT ≤ G_MAX.

• The status of OUT is modified to include HIGH_LIMITED if: OUT = G_MAX

• The status of OUT is modified to include LOW_LIMITED if: OUT = G_MIN
• If G_MAX < 0, G_MIN < 0, G_MAX ≤ G_MIN, or E_HIGH ≤ E_LOW, then:
OUT = 0, and OUT status = NOT_LIMITED-CONFIGURATION_ERROR-BAD

The Quad Select (QUADSEL) block selects the median of four analog signals and
transfers the selection to the output ({Device}). When all four transmitters are enabled, the
average ignores the transmitters with the minimum and maximum values and calculates
the average of the other two transmitters. The user has the option to disable up to three
transmitters. If one transmitter is disabled, the output equals the median or average of the
three remaining transmitters based on the enumerated value of the input TS. If two
transmitters are disabled, the output will be either the minimum, maximum, or average of
the two remaining transmitters based on the enumerated value of the input DS. If the one
transmitter allowed property, 1XMTR_P, is True, three transmitters can be disabled and
the output will be the value of the remaining transmitter.

A = 10 (enabled), B = 25 (disabled), C = 50 (disabled) and D = 50 (disabled), so MODE
= A, and the mode of the block is changed by enabling input B and disabling input A.
Now, MODE = B and the output will increase from 10 to 25 engineering units in 15
seconds. At this point, the output equals B, the block operating mode transition from A to
B is complete and the rate of change restriction on the output is removed until the block
operating mode changes, again.
Inserting this block into application program, will generate a window titled, Enter the
Attribute Instance Values, which prompts the user to Enter Device Description, Enter
Device Name, and Enter Format Specification in the Values column of the window. The
block will then automatically create the variables associated with the block and provide
the appropriate attributes for each variable (such as Type, Format Spec, variables that
need to be on EGD will be automatically placed on the $Default EGD page, and so forth).
Inserting a QUADSEL block into the application program, for example, displays the
following window.

42 Quad Select_Version 2 (QUADSEL_V2)
Block Category: QUADSEL_V2, Analog Operations
The Quad Select_Version 2 (QUADSEL_V2) block selects the median of four analog
signals and transfers the selection to the output ({Device}). When all four transmitters are
enabled, the average ignores the transmitters with the minimum and maximum values and
calculates the average of the other two transmitters. The user has the option to disable up
to three transmitters.
If one transmitter is disabled, the output equals the median or average of the three
remaining transmitters based on the enumerated value of the input TS. If two transmitters
are disabled, the output will be either the minimum, maximum, or average of the two
remaining transmitters based on the enumerated value of the input DS. If the one
transmitter allowed property, 1XMTR_P, is True, three transmitters can be disabled and
the output will be the value of the remaining transmitter.

If 1XMTR_P, is True, when four transmitters are disabled and/or in a BAD quality state,
OBQ becomes True, the default value, DF, is automatically transferred to OUT, quality
status of OUT is set to NOT_LIMITED-BAD [0], and MODE is set to DEFAULT. If AU_
EN_P is True, OBQ becomes False when the quality status of any input becomes GOOD

Block Category: RUN_TIMER, Timers and Counters
The Run Timer (RUN_TIMER) block behaves as a device run timer. OUT accumulates
time in hours only if IN is True and RESET is False. If IN becomes False, the timer stops
and maintains the value of the accumulated time. If the RESET pin is set to True, the
accumulated time is reset to zero.

The Solenoid Operated Valve (S_O_V) block controls a solenoid-piloted pneumatic valve
and provides an output to energize a solenoid valve. The block has a fail-safe open or
close property, FS_OP, for those valves that are energize-to-close, spring opened or FS_
CL, for those valves that are energize-to-open, spring closed. The block requires the
inputs OPEN and CLOSED from the limit switches of the valve. The block will generate
a failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_A, a failed-to-close alarm, FL_CL_A, and a limit switch
congruency alarm, CONGR_A, that alarms when the valve limit switches indicate that the
valve is open and closed at the same time for at least 2 seconds.
This block has various Control (CTL) is an enumeration set by the HMI operator for valve control. The

the possible values of the enumerations.
CL_OVR, OP_OVR, and MN_REJ Enumerations

OVR_OP or CL_OVR — open or close the valve, respectively, and prevent it from
reclosing/reopening in any mode. If the valve is in auto mode (AUTO is True), it rejects
to manual and the manual reject alarm, MN_REJ_A, will be activated, delayed off by 2
seconds.
OVR_OP and CL_OVR (if used) — driven from an OVERRIDE block. Each connected
input of the OVERRIDE block has the ability (when enabled) to be blocked by the HMI
OVR_OP or CL_OVR enumeration contains BLOCK, the HMI operator has blocked at
least one override. S_O_V does not use the block information, but passes it to the HMI
for display.

Force Control
The block provides force enumerations force open input, OP_FRC and force close input,
CL_FRC. The following table provides the possible values of the enumerations.
CL_FRC, and OP_FRC Enumerations

OP_FRC or CL_FRC force the valve open or close in any mode except when OP_OVR or
CL_OVR indicates Override Active. The valve does not reject to manual if a force
occurs.
OP_FRC and CL_FRC (If used) are driven from a FORCE block. Each connected input
of the FORCE block has the ability (when enabled) to be blocked by the HMI operator,
which is accessed from associated tab of the permit HMI screen display. When OP_FRC
or CL_FRC indicate a force is blocked (enumeration contains BLOCK), the HMI operator
has blocked at least one force. The S_O_V does not use the block information, but passes
it to the HMI for display.

The block provides permissive input enumerations AU_PMT, OP_PMT, and CL_PMT.
The following table provides the possible values of the enumerations.


• LOCK is False
• OP_FLR, CL_FLR, and SV_FLR are False (or the duration of being True has not
exceeded the PWR_FL_TMR)
• OP_OVR indicates No Override
• CL_OVR indicates No Override
If the valve is in auto mode and any of the conditions listed above are not satisfied (except
AU_PMT) the valve will be placed in manual mode (the outputs, AUTO and PMT_AU
are set to False). If the MN_REJ input caused this action, then the manual reject alarm,
MN_REJ_A, will be activated (otherwise MN_REJ_A will be inhibited). A change in
AU_PMT from True to False will not change the mode from AUTO to MANUAL.

• OP_PMT is True
• CL_OVR indicates No Override
• LOCK is False
• SV_FLR is False when FS_OP_P is False
• OP_FLR is False when DUAL_P is True
• CL_PMT is True
• OP_OVR indicates No Override
• LOCK is False
• SV_FLR is False when FS_OP_P is True
• CL_FLR is False when DUAL_P is True
AU_PMT, OP_PMT, and CL_PMT (if used) are driven from a PERMIT block. Each
HMI operator has bypassed at least one permit. S_O_V does not use the bypass
Valve Diagnostic
The block will generate a failed-to-open alarm, FL_OP_A, and a failed-to-close alarm,
FL_CL_A, if the valve fails to open or close in the time specified by the FL_OP_T or FL_
CL_T, respectively. These alarms are reset when FAULT_RESET is True or if the CTL
enumeration equals RESET_CMD.
limit switches indicate that the valve is open and closed at the same time. CONGR_A also
alarms if the valve is not at a known position providing there is no output command
active and no position failure (FL_OP_A or FL_CL_A) active and there is no trip alarm
(TRIPPED) active – this condition is delayed by the maximum of FL_OP_T and FL_CL_
T. The CONGR_A alarm is reset when the condition that caused the alarm is cleared.
If DIS_REJ_FL_A is False, the block operates as described above. If DIS_REJ_FL_A is
True when either FL_CL_A, FL_OP_A, CONGR_A, or TRIPPED becomes True, the
reject-to-manual operation is inhibited (the block remains in AUTO if AUTO is True
when this occurs).

The output, FAULT, is True when a fault is detected.
• FL_OP_A is True
• FL_CL_A is True
• CONGR_A is True
• SV_FLR is True
• OP_FLR is True
• TRIPPED is True
• CL_FLR is True
Push-button Status
The block has a push-button status output, PBSTATE, to indicate the last HMI operator
initiated CTL enumeration OPEN_CMD or CLOSE_CMD command. PBSTATE is True
when the last HMI CTL enumeration was OPEN_CMD. PBSTATE is False when the last
HMI CTL enumeration was OPEN_CMD.

46 Solenoid Operated Valve_Version 2 (S_O_V_V2)

Block Category: S_O_V_V2, Device Control
Note Legacy Status — The S_O_V_V2 block is not supported for use in new Mark
V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the S_O_V_V3 block; it provides
The Solenoid Operated Valve_Version 2 (S_O_V_V2) block is an actuator block that

interfaces with an output that is connected to a solenoid controlled valve (SOV). Solenoid
valves control a fluid that opens or closes a valve directly or pilots another valve.
Depending on the valve hardware configuration, the actuating fluid operates the valve
differently. A single acting valve stem allows the pressure to only control the valve in one
direction, either open or closed. For example, an air-actuated, fail-close, single acting
solenoid valve operates such that no air pressure in the valve body leaves the valve
closed. However, with pressurized air in the valve body, the valve opens. The opposite is
true for a fail-open valve. The dual acting SOV uses two pressurized chambers that act on
opposite sides of the valve. As a result, there must be separate Open and Close commands
to the solenoid. The block has the option of either one or two command outputs to support
either configuration. The block also monitors the end positions of the valve to provide
alarm detection.
The S_O_V_V2 block is displayed in the following figure. However, not all variable pins

and/or lockout capability if the block property Mode of Operation (MODE_OPT)
enumeration selected allows the auto and/or lock mode. The valve may be opened or
closed in manual mode by the OPEN_CMD or CLOSE_CMD commands, respectively.
CTL Enumerations

NO_CMD No command

Refer to GEI-100682, Mark Mode of Operation (MODE_OPT) may be configured to operate in Manual or
VIe Controller Standard Block Automatic (Auto) mode. It also enables the user to lock the device, which disables any
Library, the Logic Builder operation while in the Lock mode. Manual mode allows commands from the operator
(LOGIC_BUILDER) block. interface, and Auto mode allows the control logic to command the solenoid. In either
mode there are inputs that may bypass or override the active mode of operation. Lock
mode is intended to be used when maintenance work is being performed on the valve and
the operator wants to prohibit any logic from energizing the valve solenoid. The
allowable modes of operation are specified by the Mode Options parameter, MODE_
OPT.
The S_O_V_V2 block can be used in conjunction with the PERMIT, FORCE,
OVERRIDE, or LOGIC_BUILDER blocks to provide a complete and comprehensive
device control. A predefined HMI faceplate provides the operator interface to the valve.
The block may also be configured to control valves that are a combination of fail-safe
closed or fail-safe open, and single or dual acting solenoid.

is set to AUTO ONLY or accordance with the manual command. The permit for the Open command is set by the
AUTO-LOCK. Open Permit input, OP_PMT, and the permit for the Close command is set by the Close
Permit input, CL_PMT. These inputs may be set to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_
BUILDER block.
Some of these conditions The possible conditions that place the block into Manual mode are as follows:
require block parameters to be
specifically configured. • Manual mode is selected from the HMI faceplate
• Manual Rejection from logic (MN_REJ)
• Override close or open from logic (OVR_CL, OVR_OP)
• Solenoid Circuit Failure from logic (RDY_SV)
− IO_OPT set to FS_OP OR FS_CL and IO_MON set to Fuse or Volt
• Open Circuit Failure from logic (RDY_OP)
− IO_OPT set to Dual and IO_MON set to Fuse or Volt
• Close Circuit Failure from logic (RDY_CL)
• Valve has generates alarms Failed to Open, Failed to Close, Congruency Alarm, or
Tripped
− DIS_REJ_FL_P set to False

S_O_V_V2 Block in Manual Mode
Auto mode enables the block to respond to Open and Close commands from logic. Given
that the permits are satisfied, the block operates in accordance with the command from
the logic. The permit for the Open command is set by the Open Permit input, OP_PMT,
and the permit for the Close command is set by the Close Permit input, CL_PMT. The
OP_PMT and CL_PMT inputs may be set to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_
BUILDER block. The logic commands are input to the block through the Automatic
Open, AU_OP, and Automatic Close, AU_CL, inputs. The block may be placed in Auto
mode either by a command from the HMI or a pulse to the automatic select input, AU_
SEL. Given that the permits are satisfied, the block is placed into Auto mode. The permit
for the Auto mode is set by the Auto Permit input, AU_PMT. The AU_PMT input may be
set to a fixed value or driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block.
MANUAL-AUTO mode selection provides Manual and Automatic functionality. A
functionality only. While residing in Auto mode, the block controls the valve based on
external logic. Automated control from external logic interfaces to the AU_OP and AU_
CL pins. Similar to the manual mode, Auto action only operates with the proper Open and
from Manual into Auto mode. Unlike the transferring to Manual mode, here, certain
S_O_V_V2 block is always able to enter Manual mode, but not always able to enter Auto
mode. These conditions depend on the mode options selected for the block. All three of
the following conditions must be met for the block to enter Auto mode:

At any time, the block may go LOCK mode may only be selected when the solenoid is in the de-energized state. When
into Lock mode as long as it is placed in the Lock mode, the block forces the output so that the solenoid remains

Lock mode, the block will return to Auto mode.

Inputs and Outputs
At a minimum, the S_O_V_V2 block requires Open and Close feedback and valve order
output. However, other inputs may be used for automatic control, valve forcing, manual
rejection, and such.
Depending on the block configuration, the output could be one (SV_ORD) or two (CL_
ORD, OP_ORD) commands. Normally, S_O_V_V2 blocks are one-way solenoid valves,
meaning that input pin, IO_OPT, is set to either FS_CL or FS_OP. The following figure
displays the logic for the Open command. The Close command logic is similar, but
replaces the open text with close text and vice versa.
Open Command Logic
One-way Acting Valves Command Logic

Two-way Acting Valves Command Logic
Note Additional outputs from this block indicate status, faults, failures, alarms, forces,
and overrides. Much of this information is displayed on the HMI faceplate.
Diagnostic Alarms and Faults

When an alarm is active, the S_O_V_V2 block may have limited action of movement.
For example, a Fail to Open alarm will inhibit the valve from opening again. In this case,
a Fault Reset must be issued so that the valve can continue normal operation. Some
alarms are held true until the alarm is cleared while others require a Fault Reset to clear
the alarm. The alarm may be reset at any time from the logic or an operator push-button.
remain active. For Unit Controls, the Fault Reset pin may be connected to the Master
Reset parameter. The alarms that may occur are as follows:
Fail to Open (FL_OP_A) — when commanded open, the valve fails to reach the open
limit within the allotted time (FL_OP_T). The block cannot reissue an open command
while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm.
Fail to Open Alarm

Fail to Close (FL_CL_A)+ — when commanded open, the valve fails to reach the closed
limit within the allotted time (FL_CL_T). The block cannot reissue a close command
while alarm is active. Reset the alarm.
Valve Trip (TRIPPED)+ — the valve is removed from its energized state but there was
no command change. The block cannot reissue an auto/manual command while alarm is

be rejected to manual depending on its configuration. The alarm will be cleared when the
valve reaches either of its limits.
Solenoid Circuit Failure for single acting SOVs (SV_FLR) — power is lost to the
circuit that energizes the valve (RDY_SV becomes False). This pin is a reserved variable
that monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual and cannot reissue a
command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when RDY_SV becomes True.
Open Circuit Failure for dual acting SOVs (OP_FLR) — power is lost to the circuit
that opens the valve (RDY_OP becomes False). This pin is a reserved variable that
monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual and cannot reissue an open

monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual and cannot reissue an close
command while alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when RDY_CL becomes True.
Auto Request (AU_REQ) — the valve is in Manual mode but the Auto logic requests
that the valve state be different than its current state. This has no effect on valve operation
and is an alarm message only. The alarm is cleared if the valve is placed into Auto mode,

given conditions.
During any condition, the S_O_V_V2 may be forced to a position that bypasses normal
operation. The force is driven from the CL_FRC or OP_FRC pins in the logic. The valve
will move to the force position, and remain there until the force is removed. For example,
for the valve to be forced open it must meet the following criteria:
• No Override Close
• No Circuit Failure
• No Failed to Open
Refer to the figure, Open While a force condition is active, the valve may freely transfer from Auto to Manual
Command Logic, to view the mode following the normal permits. However, no manual command will supersede the
logic for a force. force. Once the force is removed, the valve will continue normal operation.
An override will supersede a force and place the valve into the overridden state. For
example, irrelevant of any forces, the valve will go to the override closed state given that
there is no circuit failure and no Failed to Close alarm is active. The S_O_V_V2 block
will take precedence from the override command, then the force command, and then the
Manual/Auto command. Upon entering an overridden state, the valve will be placed into
Manual mode. Once the override is removed, the valve will remain in Manual mode until
changed by the operator.

47 Solenoid Operated Valve_Version 3 (S_O_V_V3)
Block Category: S_O_V_V3, Device Control
The Solenoid Operated Valve_Version 3 (S_O_V_V3) block is an actuator block that
interfaces with an output that is connected to a solenoid controlled valve (SOV). Solenoid
valves control a fluid that opens or closes a valve directly or pilots another valve.
Depending on the valve hardware configuration, the actuating fluid operates the valve
differently. A single acting valve stem allows the pressure to only control the valve in one
direction, either open or closed. For example, an air-actuated, fail-close, single acting
solenoid valve operates such that no air pressure in the valve body leaves the valve
closed. However, with pressurized air in the valve body, the valve opens. The opposite is
true for a fail-open valve. The dual acting SOV uses two pressurized chambers that act on
opposite sides of the valve. As a result, there must be separate Open and Close commands
to the solenoid. The block has the option of either one or two command outputs to support
either configuration. The block also monitors the end positions of the valve to provide
alarm detection.
The S_O_V_V3 block is displayed in the following figure. However, not all variable pins

This block has various enumerations that are configured for control block operation.
and/or lockout capability if the block property Mode of Operation (MODE_OPT)
enumeration selected allows the auto and/or lock mode. The valve may be opened or
closed in manual mode by the OPEN_CMD or CLOSE_CMD commands, respectively.
CTL Enumerations
Enumeration Command
NO_CMD No command

Mode of Operation (MODE_OPT) may be configured to operate in Manual or
Automatic (Auto) mode. It also enables the user to lock the device, which disables any
operation while in the Lock mode. Manual mode allows commands from the operator
interface, and Auto mode allows the control logic to command the solenoid. In either
mode there are inputs that may bypass or override the active mode of operation. Lock
mode is intended to be used when maintenance work is being performed on the valve and
the operator wants to prohibit any logic from energizing the valve solenoid. The
allowable modes of operation are specified by the Mode Options parameter, MODE_
OPT.
Refer to GEI-100682, Mark The S_O_V_V3 block can be used in conjunction with the PERMIT, FORCE,
VIe Controller Standard Block OVERRIDE, or LOGIC_BUILDER blocks to provide a complete and comprehensive

S_O_V_V3 Block in Manual Mode
Auto mode enables the block to respond to Open and Close commands from logic. Given
that the permits are satisfied, the block operates in accordance with the command from
the logic. The permit for the Open command is set by the Open Permit input, OP_PMT,
and the permit for the Close command is set by the Close Permit input, CL_PMT. The
OP_PMT and CL_PMT inputs may be set to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_
BUILDER block. The logic commands are input to the block through the Automatic
Open, AU_OP, and Automatic Close, AU_CL, inputs. The block may be placed in Auto
mode either by a command from the HMI or a pulse to the automatic select input, AU_
SEL. Given that the permits are satisfied, the block is placed into Auto mode. The permit
for the Auto mode is set by the Auto Permit input, AU_PMT. The AU_PMT input may be
set to a fixed value or driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block.
MANUAL-AUTO mode selection provides Manual and Automatic functionality. A
functionality only. While residing in Auto mode, the block controls the valve based on
external logic. Automated control from external logic interfaces to the AU_OP and AU_

S_O_V_V2 block is always able to enter Manual mode, but not always able to enter Auto
mode. These conditions depend on the mode options selected for the block. All three of
the following conditions must be met for the block to enter Auto mode:

At any time, the block may go LOCK mode may only be selected when the solenoid is in the de-energized state. When
into Lock mode as long as it is placed in the Lock mode, the block forces the output so that the solenoid remains

Inputs and Outputs
At a minimum, the S_O_V_V3 block requires Open and Close feedback and valve order
output. However, other inputs may be used for automatic control, valve forcing, manual
Depending on the block configuration, the output could be one (SV_ORD) or two (CL_
ORD, OP_ORD) commands. Normally, S_O_V_V3 blocks are one-way solenoid valves,
meaning that input pin, IO_OPT, is set to either FS_CL or FS_OP. The following figure
displays the logic for the Open command. The Close command logic is similar, but
replaces the open text with close text and vice versa.

Alarms and Faults
When an alarm is active, the S_O_V_V3 block may have limited action of movement.
For example, a Fail to Open alarm will inhibit the valve from opening again. In this case,
a Fault Reset must be issued so that the valve can continue normal operation. Some
alarms are held true until the alarm is cleared while others require a Fault Reset to clear
the alarm. The alarm may be reset at any time from the logic or an operator push-button.

Reset parameter. The alarms that may occur are as follows:
Fail to Open (FL_OP_A) — when commanded open, the valve fails to reach the open
limit within the allotted time (FL_OP_T). The block cannot reissue an open command
while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm.
Fail to Open Alarm
Fail to Close (FL_CL_A)+ — when commanded open, the valve fails to reach the closed
limit within the allotted time (FL_CL_T). The block cannot reissue a close command
while alarm is active. Reset the alarm.
Valve Trip (TRIPPED)+ — the valve is removed from its energized state but there was
no command change. The block cannot reissue an auto/manual command while alarm is
active. Reset the alarm.

Valve Trip Alarm
same time, or, for the allotted time, the block is neither open nor closed. The block could
be rejected to manual depending on its configuration. The alarm will be cleared when the
valve reaches either of its limits.
Solenoid Circuit Failure for single acting SOVs (SV_FLR) — power is lost to the
circuit that energizes the valve (RDY_SV becomes False). This pin is a reserved variable
that monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual and cannot reissue a
command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when RDY_SV becomes True.
Open Circuit Failure for dual acting SOVs (OP_FLR) — power is lost to the circuit
that opens the valve (RDY_OP becomes False). This pin is a reserved variable that
monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual and cannot reissue an open

given conditions.

During any condition, the S_O_V_V3 block may be forced to a position that bypasses
normal operation. The force is driven from the CL_FRC or OP_FRC pins in the logic.
The valve will move to the force position, and remain there until the force is removed.
For example, for the valve to be forced open it must meet the following criteria:
• No Override Close
• No Circuit Failure
• No Failed to Open
Refer to the figure, Open While a force condition is active, the valve may freely transfer from Auto to Manual
Command Logic, to view the mode following the normal permits. However, no manual command will supersede the

An override will supersede a force and place the valve into the overridden state. For
example, irrelevant of any forces, the valve will go to the override closed state given that
there is no circuit failure and no Failed to Close alarm is active. The block will take
precedence from the override command, then the force command, and then the
Manual/Auto command. Upon entering an overridden state, the valve will be placed into
Manual mode. Once the override is removed, the valve will remain in Manual mode until

50 Setpoint Station (SETPOINT_ST)
Block Category: SETPOINT_ST, Controls (DCS)
SETPOINT_ST is used to split The Setpoint Station (SETPOINT_ST) block is an expandable block for up to 16 outputs.
a single setpoint (SP) into For each output there is a bias (Bn), Track (TKn), and balance gain (Gn) and feedback
multiple outputs. (PVn). Balance gains are constants that define the percentage split of the SP to the
individual output. The sum of all the configured balance gains must be 100. The system
generates a build error when the sum of the gains is not equal to 100.
Under normal operation when all track inputs are False (TK1 … TKn) = False, then all
the outputs are:
OUTn=(SP x Gn/100) + Bn
When Track is True, that is TKn = True, then the corresponding output is:
OUTn=PVn
For all other outputs that are not in track when at least one is in track, the equation is.
OUTn= ((SP-PVt) x Gn/100) +Bn + ((SP-PVt) x Gt/100)/M)
If (SP-PVt ) ≤0 then substitute the value of (SP-PVt)=0
Where PVt = sum of the PV’s for which track is True
Gt = sum of the gains for which track is True
M = number of outputs not in track.
SP_OUT is the sum of all the outputs. SH and SL define the input setpoint (SP) high and
low limits.
When a SETPOINT_ST is inserted into application code, it generates a window
prompting user to enter Device Name, Device Description, HMI Screen Name, and
Format Specification. The block then automatically creates the variables associated with
the block and provides the appropriate attributes for each variable (for example, Type and
Format Spec variables that need to be on EGD will be automatically placed on the
$Default EGD page, and so on). The HMI screen name is used as an Alarm attribute.

pin Name, where Device Value has the attribute value STEAM_1001 and Input _Name is
the block input/output names. The description, Plant load Control in this example,
becomes the prefix of the block input/output descriptions.
SETPOINT_ST Block

If Track is False (TK1…TK16=False)
OUT (OUT 1… OUT16) status is propagated from SP status. The status of OUT is modified to include HIGH_LIMITED
or LOW_LIMITED when applicable.
For example:
If SP status = NOT_LIMITED-GOODNC [128]
And
SP >SH, then OUT status = HIGH_LIMITED-GOODNC [130]
Or
SP < SL, then OUT status = LOW_LIMITED-GOODNC [129]
If any of the track inputs is True then the corresponding OUT status follows the status of its PV.
For example TK1 = True
SP status = NOT_LIMITED-GOODNC [128]
PV1 status = LOW_LIMITED-GOODNC [129]
Then OUT1 status = LOW_LIMITED-GOODNC [129]
And
OUT2… OUT16 status = NOT_LIMITED-GOODNC [128]

Starter Diagnostic
The block will generate a failed-to-start alarm, FL_ST_A, and a failed-to-stop alarm, FL_
SP_A, if the starter fails to start or stop in the time specified by the FL_ST_T or FL_SP_
T, respectively. These alarms (as well as TRIPPED) are reset when FAULT_RESET is
True or if the CTL enumeration equals RESET_CMD. The block has a limit switch
congruency alarm, CONGR_A, that alarms when the starter limit switches indicate the
breaker is open, ON_INP is True, and off, OFF_INP is True, at the same time (note this
alarm will only occur if OFF_INP_P is True). The CONGR_A alarm is reset when the
condition that caused the alarm is cleared. The output, FAULT, is True when a fault is
detected.

Note Legacy Status — The STARTER_V2 block is not supported for use in new
suite V05.02). For new Mark VIe control systems, use the STARTER_V3 block; it
The Starter_Version 2 (STARTER_V2) block is a logic block that interfaces with the
inputs and outputs of a motor starter device such as a pump, fan, or motorized device.
Block configuration depends on the motor device hardware. The motor can have multiple
status feedback that ties into the block. Such feedback monitors breaker status,
availability, or power to the command circuit. Additionally, the motor has the ability to
receive two separate ON and OFF commands. These are pulsed commands sent to the
device. Also, the motor can receive one command. This command would be a maintained
True parameter for running operation or a maintained False parameter for stopped
operation. The block also has pins to monitor the feedback for alarm detection.
The STARTER_V2 block is displayed in the following figure. However, not all variable
pins are displayed because most are auto-hidden.

The STARTER_V2 block may be configured to operate in Manual or Auto mode, and
disallow any operation while in the Lock mode. Manual mode allows commands from the
operator interface, and automatic mode allows the control logic to command the motor. In
either mode, there are inputs that may bypass or override the active mode of operation.
Lock mode is intended to be used when maintenance work is being performed on the
valve and the operator wants to prohibit any logic from energizing the valve solenoid. The
following table provides a visual presentation of the modes available based on the
MODE_OPT selection.

Auto mode enables the block to respond to operator Start and Stop commands from an

the Auto command. The permit for the Open command is set by the Start permit input,
STR_PMT, and the permit for the Stop command is set by the Stop permit input, STP_
PMT. These inputs may be set to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block.

A selection of MANUAL-AUTO mode provides manual and automatic functionality. A
selection of AUTO or AUTO-LOCK provides automatic functionality only. While
residing in Auto mode, the block controls the valve based on external logic. Automated
control from external logic interfaces to the AU_ST and AU_SP pins. Similar to the
Manual mode, Auto action only operates with the proper Open and Close permits.
If AUTO ONLY mode is selected, the block will permanently reside in Auto mode.
If MANUAL-AUTO mode is selected, only two conditions will transfer the block from
Manual into Auto mode. Unlike the transferring to Manual mode, certain permits must be
satisfied to allow the valve to enter into Auto mode. This means that the block is always
able to enter Manual mode, but not always able to enter Auto mode. These conditions
depend on the mode options selected for the block. All of the following conditions must
be met for the block to enter Auto mode:

• MODE_OPT must have AUTO in the selection
At any time, the block may go Lock mode may only be selected when the motor is in the OFF state. When placed in the

of Lock mode, the block will return to Auto mode.
Lead/Lag mode selection is used for displays on the HMI object only, and does not
change any block functionality. Enabling the Lead/Lag mode allows logic to Write to a
block input pin (LDLG_ORDER) that displays on the HMI faceplate the motor’s order
with redundant devices (such as Lead, Lag 2, Lag 3, and so forth).
Modes of I/O
The STARTER_V2 block may be configured to allow input I/O states for the device. All
I/O are digital or analog inputs received from the motor device. Each I/O input indicates
the current status. Device status includes breaker racked in, device not available, and
device in remote. Depending on the I/O properties enabled, the block will act differently.
The I/O configurations are specified by the I/O Options parameter, IO_OPT. The
following table provides a visual presentation of the modes available based on the IO_
OPT selection. Any enumeration of the I/O pins is available. However, not all are
displayed because there are too many to display in the table.

a Control Power Fail alarm is generated that trips the device and places it in Manual
mode.
Remote — allows the device I/O input from REMOTE. If this input goes False, then a
Device in Local alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Available — allows the device I/O input from AVAIL. If this input goes False, then a
Device not available alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Protective Trip — allows the device I/O input from PR_TRP. If this input goes True,
then a trip is issued to the motor.
Racked In — allows the device I/O input from RCKD_IN. If this input goes False, then
a Breaker racked out alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Momentary Output — enables the block to be configured for either a pulse ON or OFF
command from the control system to the motor device, or it may be configured with a
maintained ON command. If the Momentary On feature is enabled, the block requires two
outputs, ON_ORD andOFF_ORD. If the Momentary On feature is disabled, then the
block only requires one output, ON_ORD.
Off Output — allows the device I/O input from OFF_INP. The block now has the ability
to detect congruency alarms if both ON_INP and OFF_INP are either True or False.

Inputs and Outputs
At a minimum, the STARTER_V2 block requires ON motor feedback and a command
output. However, other inputs may be used for automatic control, device forcing, manual
Depending of the block configuration, the output could be one (ON_ORD) or two (ON_
ORD, OFF_ORD) commands. Normally, for unit control operation, motors require a
maintained signal for device operation, meaning that input pin IO_OPT would not have
MOM_OUT enabled. The following figure is a logic representation of the Start command
logic.
Start Command Logic

For the Stop command, the logic varies slightly. As a fail-safe, the motor should always
be ready to stop, so fewer permits are tied into the logic. The following figure is a logic
representation of the Stop command logic.
Stop Command Logic
Maintained Command Motors Logic

Pulsed Command Motors Logic
Additional outputs from this block indicate status, faults, failures, alarms, forces and
overrides. Much of this information is displayed on the HMI faceplate.
Diagnostic Alarms and Faults
When an alarm is active, the STARTER_V2 block could have limited action of
movement. For example, a Fail to Open alarm inhibits the valve from opening again. In
this case, a Fault Reset must be issued so that the valve can continue normal operation.
Some alarms are held true until the alarm is cleared, while others require a Fault Reset to
remove the indication. The alarm may be reset at any time from the logic or using an
operator push-button. However, the reset must occur after the alarm has been cleared.
Otherwise the alarm will remain active. For Unit Controls, this Fault Reset pin may be
connected to the Master Reset variable. The alarms that may occur are as follows:
Fail to Start (FL_ST_A)+ — when commanded ON, the motor fails to start within the
allotted time (FL_ST_T ). The block sends a stop command to the motor and the operator
cannot reissue an ON command while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm.
Fail to Start (FL_ST_A)

Fail to Stop (FL_SP_A)+ — when commanded OFF, the motor fails to stop within the
allotted time (FL_SP_T). The operator cannot reissue an OFF command while the alarm
is active. Reset the alarm.
Motor Trip (TRIPPED)+ — the motor loses its running feedback but there was no OFF
command. The block sends a Stop command to the motor and cannot reissue an Auto or
Manual command while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm.
Motor Trip (TRIPPED)

Congruency alarm (CONGR_A)+ — the motor has both running and stopped feedback
for 2 seconds. The block is in Reject to Manual mode. Verify that the motor has only
either running or stopped feedback.
Start Circuit Failure (RUN_FLR) — power is lost to the circuit that starts the motor
(RDY_STR becomes False) for at least 2 seconds. This pin is a reserved variable that
monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual+ and the operator cannot
reissue an ON command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when RDY_STR
becomes True.
Control Power Failure (CP_F_A) — power is lost to the motor (CP_OK becomes
False). After 0.5 seconds, the block will reject to manual. The operator sends a Stop
command to the motor and cannot reissue an ON command while the alarm is active. The
alarm is cleared when CP_OK becomes True.
Racked Out (RCKD_OT) — the breaker to the motor is in the racked out position
(RCKD_IN becomes False). After 0.5 seconds, the block will reject to manual. The
operator cannot reissue an ON command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared
when RCKD_IN becomes True.
Protective Trip (PR_TR_A) — the motor tripped due to a protective setting (PR_TRP
becomes True). This is a status variable only. The block rejects to manual and cannot
reissue an ON command while the alarm is active.
Not Available (AVAIL_A) — the motor has become unavailable due to some a device
not available (AVAIL becomes False). The block will reject to manual. The operator
cannot reissue an ON or OFF command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared

and is an alarm message only. The alarm is cleared if the valve is placed into auto,
manually ordered to the requested state, or the Auto action is removed.
Manual Rejected (MN_REJ_A) — the motor is rejected to Manual due to a conditional
alarm or input pin (MN_REJ becomes True). The block will only respond to manual
commands. The alarm is cleared after the conditions returns to normal and the MN_REJ
becomes False and a reset command is given.
affect automatic motor operation. However, the alarm will still become active under the
given conditions.
Note If the MODE_OPT is set to a non-manual selection, the action will not take place.

During any condition, the motor may be forced to a state that bypasses normal operation.
The force is driven from the ON_FRC or OFF_FRC pins in the logic. The motor will
send the respective condition and remain there until the force is removed. However, an
OFF force takes precedence over an ON force. For example, for the motor to be forced
ON, there must be no Trip, OFF Force, Circuit Failure, or Fail to Start. Refer to the
figure, Start Command Logic, to view the logic for a force. While a force condition is
active, the motor may freely transfer from Auto to Manual mode following the normal
permits. However, no manual command will supersede the force. Once the force is
removed, the valve will continue normal operation.
A trip will supersede a force and turn the motor off. For example, irrelevant of any forces,
the motor will immediately send a Stop command. The trip override takes the utmost
precedence. Upon entering a tripped state, the valve will be placed into Manual mode.
Once the trip is removed and reset, the valve will remain in Manual mode until changed
by the operator.
Although forces bypass normal permits, if the valve is locked, forces will have no effect
on the block. The block must be removed from Lock mode before any force affects block
operation. Additionally, if the MODE_OPT is set to AUTO ONLY or AUTO-LOCK, the
Trip Override pin will be disabled and will have no effect on the block.

Permits
For basic operations, most of Due to the nature of auto and forcing action, permits are required for motor operation.
these permits will be disabled. Special device permits are built into the blocks, which may be enabled and disabled with
certain pins in the block, as follows:

Block Category: STARTER_V3, Device Control
This block has various The Starter_Version 3 (STARTER_V3) block is a logic block that interfaces with the
enumerations that are inputs and outputs of a motor starter device such as a pump, fan, or motorized device.
configured for control Block configuration depends on the motor device hardware. The motor can have multiple
operation. status feedback that ties into the block. Such feedback monitors breaker status,
availability, or power to the command circuit. Additionally, the motor has the ability to
receive two separate ON and OFF commands. These are pulsed commands sent to the
device. Also, the motor can receive one command. This command would be a maintained
True parameter for running operation or a maintained False parameter for stopped
operation. The block also has pins to monitor the feedback for alarm detection.
Refer to GEI-100682, Mark The block may be configured to allow the motor to operate in Manual or Automatic
VIe Controller Standard Block (Auto) mode. The block enables the user to lock the device, thus disabling any operation
Library, the Logic Builder while in the Lock mode. The block is used in conjunction with the PERMIT, FORCE,
(LOGIC_BUILDER) block. OVERRIDE, or LOGIC_BUILDER blocks to provide a complete and comprehensive
device control. A predefined HMI faceplate is available to provide the operator interface
to the valve.

Mode of Operation (MODE_OPT) parameter specifies the allowable modes of

operation. The STARTER_V3 block may be configured to operate in Manual or Auto
mode, and disallow any operation while in the Lock mode. Manual mode allows
commands from the operator interface, and automatic mode allows the control logic to
command the motor. In either mode, there are inputs that may bypass or override the
active mode of operation. Lock mode is intended to be used when maintenance work is
being performed on the valve and the operator wants to prohibit any logic from
energizing the valve solenoid. The following table provides a visual presentation of the
modes available based on the MODE_OPT selection.

Manual mode is always Manual mode enables the block to respond to operator Start and Stop commands from

STP_PMT. These inputs may be set to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER
Some of these conditions block. The conditions that can place the block into Manual mode are as follows:
require block parameters to be
specifically configured. • Manual mode selected from the HMI faceplate
• Manual rejection from the logic (MN_REJ
• Override trip from the logic (TRP_OVR)
• I/O pin from device Protective trip (PR_TRP)
• I/O pin from device not in Remote mode (REMOTE)
• I/O pin from device is not available (AVAIL)
• I/O pin from device is not racked in (RCKD_IN)
• I/O pin from device is no control power (CP_OK)
• Device has generated the following alarms:
− Failed to Start
− Failed to Stop
− Run Failure
− Stop Failure
− Trip
STARTER_V3 in Manual Mode
Auto mode enables the block to respond to operator Start and Stop commands from an
HMI faceplate. Given that the permits are satisfied, the block operates in accordance with
the Auto command. The permit for the Open command is set by the Start permit input,
STR_PMT, and the permit for the Stop command is set by the Stop permit input, STP_
PMT. These inputs may be set to fixed values or driven by the LOGIC_BUILDER block.

A selection of MANUAL-AUTO mode provides manual and automatic functionality. A
selection of AUTO or AUTO-LOCK provides automatic functionality only. While
residing in Auto mode, the block controls the valve based on external logic. Automated
control from external logic interfaces to the AU_ST and AU_SP pins. Similar to the
Manual mode, Auto action only operates with the proper Open and Close permits.
If AUTO ONLY mode is selected, the block will permanently reside in Auto mode.
If MANUAL-AUTO mode is selected, only two conditions will transfer the block from
Manual into Auto mode. Unlike the transferring to Manual mode, certain permits must be
satisfied to allow the valve to enter into Auto mode. This means that the block is always
able to enter Manual mode, but not always able to enter Auto mode. These conditions
depend on the mode options selected for the block. All of the following conditions must
be met for the block to enter Auto mode:

• MODE_OPT must have AUTO in the selection
At any time, the block may go Lock mode may only be selected when the motor is in the OFF state. When placed in the
into Lock mode as long as it is Lock mode, the block forces the output so that the solenoid remains de-energized. Upon
residing in its fail-safe being placed in this mode, if currently in Auto mode, the block will be deselected and
position. Only the operator indicates Manual mode. At this time, no open commands, forces, or overrides will be
may place the block into Lock accepted. Upon removing the lock, Manual mode will then be active. Similarly, AUTO
mode. ONLY and AUTO-LOCK (no open commands) will be accepted. however, upon removal
of Lock mode, the block will return to Auto mode.
Lead/Lag mode selection is used for displays on the HMI object only, and does not
change any block functionality. Enabling the Lead/Lag mode allows logic to Write to a
block input pin (LDLG_ORDER) that displays on the HMI faceplate the motor’s order
with redundant devices (such as Lead, Lag 2, Lag 3, and so forth).
Modes of I/O
The STARTER_V3 block may be configured to allow input I/O states for the device. All
I/O are digital or analog inputs received from the motor device. Each I/O input indicates
the current status. Device status includes breaker racked in, device not available, and
device in remote. Depending on the I/O properties enabled, the block will act differently.
The I/O configurations are specified by the I/O Options parameter, IO_OPT. The
following table provides a visual presentation of the modes available based on the IO_
OPT selection. Any enumeration of the I/O pins is available. However, not all are
displayed because there are too many to display in the table.

Control Power OK (CP_OK) — allows the device I/O input from CP_OK. If this input
goes False, a Control Power Fail alarm is generated that trips the device and places it in
Manual mode.
Remote (REMOTE) — allows the device I/O input from REMOTE. If this input goes
False, then a Device in Local alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Available (AVAIL) — allows the device I/O input from AVAIL. If this input goes False,
then a Device not available alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Protective Trip (PR_TRP) — allows the device I/O input from PR_TRP. If this input
goes True, then a trip is issued to the motor.
Racked In (RCKD_IN) — allows the device I/O input from RCKD_IN. If this input
goes False, then a Breaker racked out alarm is generated that places it in Manual mode.
Momentary Output — enables the block to be configured for either a pulse ON or OFF
command from the control system to the motor device, or it may be configured with a
maintained ON command. If the Momentary On feature is enabled, the block requires two
outputs, ON_ORD andOFF_ORD. If the Momentary On feature is disabled, then the
block only requires one output, ON_ORD.
Off Output (OFF_INP) — allows the device I/O input from OFF_INP. The block now
has the ability to detect congruency alarms if both ON_INP and OFF_INP are either True
or False.

Inputs and Outputs
At a minimum, the STARTER_V3 block requires ON motor feedback and a command
output. However, other inputs may be used for automatic control, device forcing, manual
rejection, and such. Depending of the block configuration, the output could be one (ON_
ORD) or two (ON_ORD, OFF_ORD) commands. Normally, for unit control operation,
motors require a maintained signal for device operation, meaning that input pin IO_OPT
would not have MOM_OUT enabled.
Start Command Logic

For the Stop command, the logic varies slightly. As a fail-safe, the motor should always
be ready to stop, so fewer permits are tied into the logic.
Stop Command Logic

Maintained Command Motors Logic
Pulsed Command Motors Logic

Additional outputs from this block indicate status, faults, failures, alarms, forces and
overrides. Much of this information is displayed on the HMI faceplate.

Alarms and Faults
When an alarm is active, the STARTER_V3 block could have limited action of
movement. For example, a Fail to Open alarm inhibits the valve from opening again. In
this case, a Fault Reset must be issued so that the valve can continue normal operation.
Some alarms are held true until the alarm is cleared, while others require a Fault Reset to
remove the indication. The alarm may be reset at any time from the logic or using an
operator push-button. However, the reset must occur after the alarm has been cleared.
Otherwise the alarm will remain active. For Unit Controls, this Fault Reset pin may be
connected to the Master Reset variable. The alarms that may occur are as follows:
Fail to Start (FL_ST_A)+ — when commanded ON, the motor fails to start within the
allotted time (FL_ST_T ). The block sends a stop command to the motor and the operator
cannot reissue an ON command while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm.
Fail to Start (FL_ST_A)

Fail to Stop (FL_SP_A)+ — when commanded OFF, the motor fails to stop within the
allotted time (FL_SP_T). The operator cannot reissue an OFF command while the alarm
is active. Reset the alarm.
Motor Trip (TRIPPED)+ — the motor loses its running feedback but there was no OFF
command. The block sends a Stop command to the motor and cannot reissue an Auto or
Manual command while the alarm is active. Reset the alarm.

Motor Trip (TRIPPED)
Congruency alarm (CONGR_A)+— the motor has both running and stopped feedback
for 2 seconds. The block is in Reject to Manual mode. Verify that the motor has only
either running or stopped feedback.
Start Circuit Failure (RUN_FLR) — power is lost to the circuit that starts the motor
(RDY_STR becomes False) for at least 2 seconds. This pin is a reserved variable that
monitors the health of the I/O. The block rejects to manual+ and the operator cannot
reissue an ON command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared when RDY_STR
becomes True.
Control Power Failure (CP_F_A) — power is lost to the motor (CP_OK becomes
False). After 0.5 seconds, the block will reject to manual. The operator sends a Stop
command to the motor and cannot reissue an ON command while the alarm is active. The
alarm is cleared when CP_OK becomes True.
Racked Out (RCKD_OT) — the breaker to the motor is in the racked out position
(RCKD_IN becomes False). After 0.5 seconds, the block will reject to manual. The
operator cannot reissue an ON command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared
when RCKD_IN becomes True.
Protective Trip (PR_TR_A) — the motor tripped due to a protective setting (PR_TRP
becomes True). This is a status variable only. The block rejects to manual and cannot
reissue an ON command while the alarm is active.
Not Available (AVAIL_A) — the motor has become unavailable due to some a device
not available (AVAIL becomes False). The block will reject to manual. The operator
cannot reissue an ON or OFF command while the alarm is active. The alarm is cleared
and is an alarm message only. The alarm is cleared if the valve is placed into auto,
manually ordered to the requested state, or the Auto action is removed.
Manual Rejected (MN_REJ_A) — the motor is rejected to Manual due to a conditional
alarm or input pin (MN_REJ becomes True). The block will only respond to manual
commands. The alarm is cleared after the conditions returns to normal and the MN_REJ
becomes False and a reset command is given.

affect automatic motor operation. However, the alarm will still become active under the
given conditions.
Note If the MODE_OPT is set to a non-manual selection, the action will not take place.

Refer to the figure, Start During any condition, the motor may be forced to a state that bypasses normal operation.
Command Logic, to view the The force is driven from the ON_FRC or OFF_FRC pins in the logic. The motor will
logic for a force. send the respective condition and remain there until the force is removed. However, an
OFF force takes precedence over an ON force. For example, for the motor to be forced
ON, there must be no Trip, OFF Force, Circuit Failure, or Fail to Start. While a force
condition is active, the motor may freely transfer from Auto to Manual mode following
the normal permits. However, no manual command will supersede the force. Once the
force is removed, the valve will continue normal operation.
A trip will supersede a force and turn the motor off. For example, irrelevant of any forces,
the motor will immediately send a Stop command. The trip override takes the utmost
precedence. Upon entering a tripped state, the valve will be placed into Manual mode.
Once the trip is removed and reset, the valve will remain in Manual mode until changed
by the operator.
Although forces bypass normal permits, if the valve is locked, forces will have no effect
on the block. The block must be removed from Lock mode before any force affects block
operation. Additionally, if the MODE_OPT is set to AUTO ONLY or AUTO-LOCK, the
Trip Override pin will be disabled and will have no effect on the block.

Permits
For basic operations, most of Due to the nature of auto and forcing action, permits are required for motor operation.
these permits will be disabled. Special device permits are built into the blocks, which may be enabled and disabled with
certain pins in the block, as follows:

54 Steamtable (STEAMTABLE)
Block Category: STEAMTABLE, Equations and Conversions
The Steamtable (STEAMTABLE) block extracts thermodynamic properties of water and
steam according to state region calculations.
Note The steamtable lookup uses the sum of IN_P and IN_PATM (absolute pressure).
The sum of IN_P and IN_PATM must be in the range of 0.8 - 3200 PSIA (0.0552 -
220.6322 bara).

55 Superheat of Steam (SUPERHEAT)
Block Category: SUPERHEAT, Equations and Conversions
The Superheat of Steam (SUPERHEAT) block calculates the amount of superheat of
steam for a given temperature, IN_T, pressure, IN_P, and atmospheric pressure, IN_
PATM.
SUPERHEAT Block

IN_P PSIg barg
IN_T °F °C
IN_PATM PSI bar
OUT °F °C
The steam table lookup uses the sum of IN_P and IN_PATM (absolute
pressure). The sum of IN_P and IN_PATM must be in the range of 0.8 -
3200 PSIA (0.0552 - 220.6322 bara).
The saturation temperature is subtracted from the steam temperature to calculate the
amount of superheat, which is OUT. The user can set a superheat setpoint, SET, and a
hysteresis value, HYST. When the amount of superheat is greater than the setpoint, SET,
the output flag SH is set to True. When the amount of superheat OUT goes below SET –
HYST, SH is set to False.

56 Pulse Totalizer (TOTALIZER_PULSE)
Block Category: TOTALIZER_PULSE, Timers and Counters
The TOTALIZER_PULSE block accumulates each rising edge of IN, if RUN is True. The
accumulated value is transferred to OUT. IN and OUT are in engineering units. The
GAIN parameter is used to equate the meaning of each pulse to output engineering. If
PRESET is True, OUT is equal to PR_VAL x GAIN. OUT is initialized to zero when
RESET becomes True. OUT_LAST stores the last value of OUT prior to the initiation of
RESET. RESET has the highest priority followed by PRESET and RUN.
TOTALIZER_PULSE Block
• OUT status is propagated from either IN status or PR_VAL status, whichever is active. When IN is selected the OUT
status defaults NOT_LIMITED-GOODNC [128] because IN is a Boolean.
• If PRESET is True, OUT status = PR_VAL status.

57 Rate Totalizer (TOTALIZER_RATE)
Block Category: TOTALIZER_RATE, Timers and Counters
The TOTALIZER_RATE block totalizes, when RUN is True. The totalized value is
transferred to OUT. IN is in engineering units per sec, min or Hour and OUT is in
engineering units. The output engineering units are scaled using the GAIN parameter. The
period multiplier can be selected by the Enumeration PERIOD. No totalization occurs if
IN <= LCO parameter. If LCO<0 it is internally substituted with a zero. If PRESET is
True, OUT is equal to PR_VAL x GAIN. OUT is initialized to zero when RESET becomes
True. OUT_LAST stores the last value of OUT prior to the initiation of RESET. RESET
has the highest priority followed by PRESET and RUN.

58 Track (TRACK)
Block Category: TRACK, Permits and Overrides
Note Legacy Status — The TRACK block is not supported for use in new Mark VIe
Block Library.
The Track (TRACK) block is an expandable block of up to 32 track inputs, which

functions similar to the OR block. Each connected input can be blocked by the HMI
operator using the Track tab of the associated permit screen. This blocking function is
enabled by setting TRKnBE to True. If track blocking is enabled for an input, an event is
generated on the HMI alarm/event screen whenever the operator blocks any TRACK
input.
inherited description is undesirable, it must be disabled by setting the Inherit Description
option to False in the input variable properties. The description can be replaced with a
desirable description by entering an appropriate description in the description field of the
input variable of the TRACK block (replace TRACK #1 with the desired override
description for the source connected to TRK1). The description is not copied from the
connected variable immediately; the input’s description is set when the library or device
TrackType enumerations are as follows:
TrackType Enumerations
Name Description
CMD_TRK Command/setpoint track
OUT pin is an enumeration with the following values:
OUT Enumerations
Name Description
NO_TRACK-NO-BLOCK No track and no track is blocked

Refer to the table, TrackType Inserting this block into the application program will display the window Enter the
Enumerations. Attribute Instance Values. This prompts the user to Enter Device Name and Select
TrackType in the Value column. (The Track ttype is a drop-down menu selection.) block
automatically creates the necessary variables and provides the appropriate attributes for
each variable (for example, Type and Format Spec variables that need to be on EGD will
be automatically placed on the $Default EGD page). If additional pin groups are added,
the necessary new variables will be automatically created during a build of the application
program.
Refer to the table, Global When the user clicks OK to automatically configure the block and pin connections,
Variables. Global pins are generated.
Note The defaults displayed in the following table are an example only. Be sure to
change the Value of the Device appropriately.
The Device Name of the block should match the name of the block to which it will be
connected. If this block is controlling a PID_MA_ENH block, then the names should
match. If the blocks are connected correctly but named incorrectly, the TRACK block will
work normally, but the HMI screen cannot indicate why the device is or is not tracking.
Input pin names are in the form the Device Value TrackType Value.pin name. Output pin
names are in the form Device Value TrackType Value.OUT, Device Value TrackType
Value.TRK, and Device Value TrackType Value.TRKB. For example, if Device Value =
00TRACK1000 and TrackType Value = CMD_TRK.

59 Transfer (TRANSFER)
Block Category: TRANSFER, Selection
The Transfer (TRANSFER) block is an expandable block of up to 16 inputs that moves a
selected input to the output. Working in ascending order from SEL_T1 to SEL_Tn, the
first True value encountered causes the corresponding input to be moved to the output.
The Ascending transfer rate, A_RATE, and descending transfer rate, D_RATE, in
Engineering Units/sec determines the rate of change of the output when transferring
between greater or lesser inputs, respectively. The transfer rates do not apply to Boolean
transfers. When A_RATE and/or D_RATE equal 0, the corresponding transfer is
instantaneous. If all the selection pins are False, the default value, F, is transferred to the
output.
TRANSFER Block
Boolean, Integer, Double Integer, Real, Long Real, Unsigned Integer, Unsigned Double
Integer. From the ToolboxST Block Properties window, select the data type. Refer to the
section, Changing Data Type of a Variant Block. The default data type is Real.
This block propagates quality status if the status operations are enabled. For further
details on Selection blocks, refer to GEI-100682, Mark VIe Controller Standard Block
Library, the Status Monitoring (STATUS_MONITORING) block.
