The Discrete Output (P_DOut) Add-On Instruction controls a device by a

single discrete output signal and optionally monitors feedback from the device to
check for device failures. The P_DOut instruction operates in various modes,
and can provide steady, single pulsed, or continually pulsed output. The global
objects and following faceplate are examples of the graphical interface tools for
this Add-On Instruction.
Faceplate
Add-On Instruction
Global Objects
Guidelines Use this instruction in these situations:

• You need to operate a device by using one discrete output and that device is
not supported by other Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects
Add-On Instructions (such as for various motors, valves, and so forth).
• You have a device, such as a valve or motor, that is supported by other
Add-On Instructions, but you want the device to use non-standard state
names, such as ‘recycle’ and ‘deliver’ for a diverter valve, rather than the
fixed names used in the other instruction, such as ‘closed’ and ‘open’. The
P_DOut instruction has configurable names for each of the device states.
• You need to operate a device that requires pulsing (single-pulse or
continuous). The P_DOut instruction provides on-delay timing, off-delay
timing, and commands for single On pulse, single Off pulse, and
continuous pulse stream (with pulse completion when changing to steady
state), in addition to On and Off. For example, the P_DOut instruction
can be a good choice for pilot lights or stack lights that require blinking.

Do not use this instruction in these situations:

• You need to operate a device that has multiple discrete output or more
than two discrete inputs for device feedback. Refer also to the P_D4SD
(Discrete 2-, 3- or 4-State Device) or P_nPos (n-Position Device)
Instruction.
• You need to operate a single-speed motor, solenoid valve, or other device
that is better supported by other Rockwell Automation Library of Process
Objects Add-On Instructions. P_Motor and P_ValveSO Instructions, for
example, more closely model the device under control and can provide
better diagnostics for the device.
• You need to operate a continuously-variable device. Use the P_AOut
(analog output), P_ValveC (control valve) or P_VSD (variable speed
drive) Instruction instead.
Functional Description The P_DOut instruction provides the following capabilities:

• Controls one discrete output, with configurable text labels for the On and
Off states of the output.
• Provides Operator and Program commands to set the output state to On
or Off, to pulse the output On once, to pulse the output Off once, or to set
the output to a continuous pulsing operation. Pulse times (on-time and
off-time) are configurable.
• Monitors two discrete feedback inputs, monitoring the actual position of
the device.
• Detects failure to reach the target state, after a configurable time, and
alarms the failure when the feedback inputs are used. Optionally ‘sheds’ to
the de-energized state on a feedback failure.
• Monitors Permissive conditions that enable commanding the device to the
On state.
• Monitors Interlock conditions that return the device to its de-energized
state (Off ).
• Provides simulation of a normally working device, while holding the
output to the real device de-energized, for use in testing or operator
training.
• Monitors I/O communication status and alarms on an I/O fault.
Optionally ‘sheds’ to the de-energized state on an I/O fault condition.
• Provides an ‘Available’ status when in Program mode and operating
normally for use by automation logic to determine if the logic can
manipulate the device.
• Operates in Operator, Program, Override, Maintenance, and Hand modes.
(See Modes on page 20.)
Add-On Instructions are reusable code objects that contain encapsulated logic
that can streamline implementing your system. This lets you create your own
instruction set for programming logic as a supplement to the instruction set
provided natively in the ControlLogix® firmware. An Add-On Instruction is

defined once in each controller project, and can be instantiated multiple times in
your application code as needed.
Controller File
The P_DOut_3_5-00_AOI.L5X Add-On Instruction must be imported into
the controller project to be used in the controller configuration. The service
release number (boldfaced) can change as service revisions are created.
Visualization Files
This Add-On Instruction has associated visualization files that provide a
common user interface. These files can be downloaded from the Product
Compatibility and Download Center at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/support/pcdc.page.
IMPORTANT The visualization file dependencies require Process Library content imports to
occur in a specific order as reflected in the following tables:
• Images
• Global Objects
• Standard Displays
• HMI Tags
• Macros
Images are external graphic files that can be used in displays. They must be
imported for FactoryTalk View to make use of them.
When PNG files are imported, they are renamed by FactoryTalk View with
a .bmp file extension, but retain a .png format.

Input Structure for Discrete Output
Input parameters include the following:

• Input data elements (Inp_) are typically used to connect field inputs from
I/O modules or signals from other objects.
• Configuration data elements (Cfg_) are used to set configurable
capabilities and features of the instruction.
• Command data elements (PCmd_, OCmd_, MCmd_) are used by
program logic, operators, and maintenance personnel to request
instruction actions.
• Setting data elements (PSet_) are used by program logic to establish
runtime setpoints, thresholds, and so forth.
Table 6 - P_DOut Input Parameters
Input Parameter Data Alias For Default Description
Type
EnableIn BOOL 1 Ladder Diagram:
If the rung-in condition is true, the instruction’s Logic routine executes. If the rung-
in condition is false, the instruction’s EnableInFalse routine executes.

Cfg_UseOffFdbk
Cfg_FdbkFail BOOL 0 1 = Both feedbacks On is invalid.
0 = Both feedbacks Off is invalid.
Cfg_HasPermObj BOOL 0 1 = Tells HMI a permissive object (for example, P_Perm) is used for Inp_PermOK
and navigation to the permissive object’s faceplate is enabled.
IMPORTANT: The name of the Permissive object in the controller must be this
object's name with the suffix '_Perm'. For example, if your P_DOut object has the
name 'DOut123', then its Permissive object must be named 'DOut123_Perm'.
Cfg_HasIntlkObj BOOL 0 1 = Tells HMI an interlock object (for example, P_Intlk) is used for Inp_IntlkOK and
navigation to the interlock object’s faceplate is enabled.
IMPORTANT: The name of the interlock object in the controller must be this
object's name with the suffix ‘_Intlk’. For example, if your P_DOut object has the
name ’DOut 123’, then its interlock object must be named ‘DOut 123_Intlk’.
Cfg_PCmdClear BOOL Mode.Cfg_PCmdClear 1 When this parameter is 1, program commands are cleared once they are acted
upon. When set to 0, program commands remain set until cleared by the
application program logic.
IMPORTANT: Clearing this parameter online can cause unintended program
command execution.
Cfg_ProgDefault BOOL Mode.Cfg_ProgDefault 0 This parameter defines the default mode. When this parameter is 1, the mode
defaults to Program if no mode is being requested. When this parameter is 0, the
mode defaults to Operator if no mode is being requested.

IMPORTANT: If a condition is configured to shed the device to the Off state on a
fault, a reset is required to clear the shed fault to command the device to a state
other than Off.
Cfg_ShedOnIOFault BOOL 1 1 = Go to OFF State and alarm on I/O Fault.
0 = Alarm only on I/O Fault.
IMPORTANT: If a condition is configured to shed the device to the Off state on a
fault, a reset is required to clear the shed fault to command the device to a state
other than Off.
Cfg_HasOnFailAlm BOOL OnFail.Cfg_Exists 0 These parameters determine whether the corresponding alarm exists and is
checked or if the alarm does not exist and is not used. When these parameters are
Cfg_HasOffFailAlm OffFail.Cfg_Exists 1, the corresponding alarm exists.
Cfg_HasIntlkTripAlm IntlkTrip.Cfg_Exists
Cfg_HasIOFaultAlm IOFault.Cfg_Exists
Cfg_OnFailResetReqd BOOL OnFail.Cfg_ResetReqd 0 These parameters determine whether a reset is required to clear the alarm status.
When these parameters are 1, the alarm is latched ON when the alarm occurs. After
Cfg_OffFailResetReqd OffFail.Cfg_ResetReqd the alarm condition returns to normal, a reset is required to clear the alarm status
(for example, OCmd_Reset, Inp_Reset, or Fail.OCmd_Reset is required to clear
Cfg_IntlkTripResetReqd IntlkTrip.Cfg_ResetReqd Alm_Fail alarm after the alarm is set and the value returns to normal). When this
Cfg_IOFaultResetReqd IOFault.Cfg_ResetReqd parameter is 0, no reset is required and the alarm status is cleared when the alarm
condition returns to normal.
IMPORTANT: If the reset clears the alarm, it also acknowledges the alarm.
Cfg_OnFailAckReqd BOOL OnFail.Cfg_AckReqd 1 These parameters determine whether an acknowledgement is required for an
alarm. When these parameters are 1, the acknowledge (ack) bit is cleared when
Cfg_OffFailAckReqd OffFail.Cfg_AckReqd the alarm occurs. An acknowledge command (for example, PCmd_FailAck or
Fail.OCmd_Ack) is required to acknowledge the alarm. When set to 0, the
Cfg_IntlkTripAckReqd IntlkTrip.Cfg_AckReqd Acknowledge bit is set when an alarm occurs indicating an acknowledged alarm
Cfg_IOFaultAckReqd IOFault.Cfg_AckReqd and no acknowledge command is required.
Cfg_OnFailSeverity INT OnFail.Cfg_Severity 1000 These parameters determine the severity of each alarm. This drives the color and
symbol that are used to indicate alarm status on the faceplate and global object.
Cfg_OffFailSeverity OffFail.Cfg_Severity 1000 The following are valid values:
Cfg_IntlkTripSeverity IntlkTrip.Cfg_Severity 500 1…250 = Low
251…500 = Medium
Cfg_IOFaultSeverity IOFault.Cfg_Severity 1000
501…750 = High
751…1000 = Urgent
IMPORTANT: For FactoryTalk View software, version 7.0, these severity
parameters drive only the indication on the global object and faceplate. The
Alarms and Event definition severity drives the color and symbol that is used on the
alarm banner and alarm summary as well as the value returned by FactoryTalk
Alarms and Events display commands.

Local Configuration Tags for Discrete Output
Configuration parameters that are arrayed, string, or structure data types cannot
be configured as parameters for Add-On Instructions. Configuration parameters
of these types appear as local tags to the Add-On Instruction. Local tags can be
configured through the HMI faceplates or in Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
application by opening the Instruction Logic of the Add-On Instruction instance
and then opening the Data Monitor on a local tag. These parameters cannot be
modified by using controller logic or Logix Designer application export/import
functionality.
Table 8 - P_DOut Local Configuration Tags

Tag Name Data Type Default Description
Cfg_OStText STRING_8 'Off' Text to display when device is in Off (0) state.
Cfg_1StText STRING_8 'On' Text to display when device is in On (1) state.
Cfg_Desc STRING_40 'Discrete On/Off Description for display on HMI. The string shows in the title bar of the faceplate.

Cfg_Label STRING_20 'Discrete Device' Label for graphic symbol displayed on HMI. This string appears on the graphic symbol.
Cfg_Tag STRING_20 'P_DOut' Description for display on HMI. The string shows in the title bar of the faceplate.

Operations This section describes the primary operations for Add-On Instructions.
Modes
This instruction uses the following standard modes, which are implemented by
using an embedded P_Mode Add-On Instruction.
Table 9 - Modes
Mode Description
Operator The Operator owns control of the device. Operator commands (OCmd_) and Operator settings
(OSet_) from the HMI are accepted.
Program Program logic owns control of the device. Program commands (PCmd_) and Program settings
(PSet_) are accepted.
Override Priority logic owns control of the device and supersedes Operator and Program control. Override
Inputs (Inp_OvrdCmd and other Inp_OvrdXxxx values) are accepted. If so configured,
bypassable interlocks and permissives are bypassed.
Maintenance Maintenance owns control of the device and supersedes Operator, Program, and Override
control. Operator commands and settings from the HMI are accepted. Bypassable interlocks and
permissives are bypassed, and device timeout checks are not processed.
Hand Hardwired logic or other logic outside the instruction owns control of the device. The instruction
tracks the state of the device for bumpless transfer back to one of the other modes.
No Mode The device is disabled and has no owner because the EnableIn input is false. The main
instruction Logic routine is not being scanned. See Execution section for more information on
EnableInFalse processing.
See Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects: Common Mode Block

(P_Mode) Reference Manual, publication SYSLIB-RM005, for more
information.
Alarms
This instruction uses the following alarms, which are implemented by using
embedded P_Alarm and P_Gate Add-On Instructions.
Alarm Name P_Alarm Name P_Gate Name Description

Interlock Trip IntlkTrip None Raised when an interlock 'not OK' condition causes
the device to transition from the On state or a pulsing
state to the Off state.
If interlocks are not bypassed, a bypassable interlock
or a non-bypassable interlock ’not OK’ condition
initiates an interlock trip. If interlocks are bypassed,
only a non-bypassable interlock ’not OK’ condition
initiates an interlock trip.
I/O Fault IOFault None Raised when the Inp_IOFault input is true. This input
is usually used to indicate to the instruction that a
communication failure has occurred for its I/O. If the
I/O Fault is configured as a shed fault, the device is
commanded Off and cannot be commanded to
another state until reset.

Alarm Name P_Alarm Name P_Gate Name Description

Off Fail OffFail None Raised when the device is commanded Off, but the
device feedback does not confirm that the device is
actually Off within the configured failure time
(Cfg_OffFailT).
On Fail OnFail None Raised when the device is commanded On, but the
device feedback does not confirm that the device is
actually On within the configured failure time
(Cfg_OnFailT). If the Failure is configured as a shed
fault, the device is commanded Off and cannot be
commanded On until reset.
Parameters of the P_Alarm object can be accessed by using the following

convention: [P_Alarm Name].[P_Alarm Parameter].
See Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects: Common Alarm Block

(P_Alarm) Reference Manual, publication SYSLIB-RM002, for more
information.
Simulation
Simulation in P_DOut de-energizes the output and simulates providing feedback

of a working device. You can test the operation of the instruction under
controlled conditions.
You must set the Inp_Sim parameter in the controller to ‘1’ to enable simulation.
The Simulation icon is displayed at the bottom left of the Operator

faceplate indicating the device is in simulation.
You can use Cfg_SimFdbkT to delay the echo of the On/Off status of the device.
When you have finished in simulation, set the Inp_Sim parameter in the
controller to ‘0’. The output is re-energized and feedback is enabled.

Execution
The following table explains the handling of instruction execution conditions.
Condition Description
EnableIn False (false rung) Handled the same as if the device were Disabled by
Command. The device output is de-energized and the
device is shown as Disabled on the HMI. The mode is
shown as ‘NO MODE’. All alarms are cleared.
Powerup (prescan, first scan) On Prescan, any Commands received before First Scan are
discarded. The device is de-energized. On first scan, the
device is treated as if it were returning from Hand mode:
the instruction state is set based on the feedback received
from the device.
Embedded P_Mode and P_Alarm instructions are
handled in accordance with their standard powerup
procedures. See the P_Mode and P-Alarm reference
manuals for details.
Postscan No SFC Postscan logic is provided.
See the Logix5000 Controllers Add-On Instructions Programming Manual,

publication 1756-PM010, for more information.
Programming Example
This example uses the P_DOut instruction to control a heating jacket on a vent
filter. The heating jacket is being used in this case to keep the vent filter dry when
there is potential for condensate buildup.
In this example, the vent filter heater jacket does not provide the feedback on its
status. In normal operating conditions, the vent filter heater jacket is being
commanded on or off by the control sequence configured in the controller. If the
operating status of the sequence is not OK, always command the vent filter off.
In this example, the controlling sequence issues a single bit for the desired state of
the vent filter heater. The parameter P_CmdOn is connected to this bit to
command the vent filter heater on and off. The parameter Cfg_PCmdClear is set
to 0, indicating that the command bit does not need reset by the instruction. This

setting also indicates that the P_DOut instruction acts upon P_CmdOn based
on value (level) instead of acting only on transition to true (edge) so that
P_CmdOn can be used to command both the On and Off states.
The controlling sequence could be written to set the command bits P_CmdOn
and P_CmdOff directly (for example, by using structured text within a SFC), in
which case Cfg_PCmdClear could be left at its default of 1 to cause the
instruction to clear the commands once they have been acted upon.
The parameter Cfg_ProgDefault is set to 1 to indicate that the normal operating

state of the controller is Program, meaning it is normally commanded by the
control sequence.
The status of the sequence is connected to the Inp_IntlkOK parameter so that

the output to the vent filter heater jacket is always off when the skid is not
operating properly, even if the instruction is not in Program mode.
The parameters Cfg_HasOnFdbk and Cfg_HasOffFdbk are both set to 0 to

indicate that the vent filter heater jacket does not provide feedback on its status.
The parameter Cfg_HasOnFailAlm, Cfg_HasOffFailAlm,
Cfg_HasIntlkTripAlm, and Cfg_HasIOFaultAlm are all set to 0, indicating that
no alarms are necessary for this device.
Lastly, configure the following local configuration tags to drive the text on the
HMI faceplate. In this example, the vent filter P&ID tag is JV9010. In this
example, they are set as follows:
Cfg_Tag: ‘JV9010’
Cfg_Label: ‘Vent Filter Heater’
Cfg_Desc: ‘Vent Filter Heater Jacket’
Cfg_St0Text: ‘Off ’
Cfg_St1Text: ‘On’

Local tags can be configured through the HMI faceplates or in Logix Designer
application by opening the Instruction Logic of the Add-On Instruction instance
and then selecting the string on the displayed rung.
All strings in local tags are shown on the first rung of the Add-On Instruction's
Logic routine for your convenience.

Display Elements A display element (global object) is created once and can be referenced multiple
times on multiple displays in an application. When changes are made to the
original (base) object, the instantiated copies (reference objects) are
automatically updated. Use of global objects, in conjunction with tag structures
in the ControlLogix system, aid consistency and save time.

Click to open the Permissives faceplate.

If the object is configured to have permissive and interlock objects (for example,
Cfg_HasIntlkObj is true), the permissive and interlock indication become
buttons that open the faceplates of the source objects used as a permissive or
interlock (often this is a P_Intlk interlock object or a P_Perm permissive object).
If the object is not configured in this way, the permissive or interlock are
indicators only.
See these publications for more information:
