SIMATIC Control Function Library

10 System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation
Basics 1
1.1 Introduction
The SIMATIC Control Function Library provides function blocks and faceplates for automatic
engineering in the process industry.
The SIMATIC Control Function Library based on the "Module Type Package (MTP)". MTP is
a formal description of the interfaces and functions of the automation technology of a
modular process unit. This means you parameterize, operate and visualize function blocks by
using faceplates and/or MTP interfaces.

1.2 Software and hardware requirements

Hardware requirements
All blocks of the Control Function Library are activated for the following controllers:
• SIMATIC S7-1200 (firmware V4.3 and higher)
• SIMATIC S7-1500 (firmware V2.8 and higher)
• SIMATIC S7 Open Controller (firmware V2.5 and higher)
• SIMATIC ET200 SP CPU (firmware V2.8 and higher)
• SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller (firmware V2.5 and higher)
• Simulation with SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM (V19 and higher)
Only applies to S7-1500, S7-1200 and ET200 CPU
• Simulation with SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced (V6.0 and higher)
Only applies to S7-1500 and ET200 CPU

Software requirements
To use and configure the blocks, you need the following product:
• SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic/Professional (TIA Portal V19 Update 3) or higher
You need the following product to visualize the blocks:
• WinCC Unified V19 Update 3 or higher
• WinCC Unified PC Runtime V19 Update 3
Additional software:

1.4 Simulation with SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM / SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced

Note
GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation
Comply with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) of WinCC Unified V19
More information can be found in the online help of WinCC Unified Runtime (start page of the
web client > WinCC Unified Help > Runtime Readme > Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)).

1.3 Configuration concept

You have the option to use and visualize function blocks, PLC data types, faceplates and master
copies from the Control Function Library in your process.
The following configuration sequence is possible:
1. You are using function blocks of the Control Function Library in your project.
2. You are using PLC data types of the Control Function Library in your project.
3. You configure tags of a PLC data type intended for the configuration and connect the tags to
the function blocks.
4. You are using faceplates of the Control Function Library in an image.
5. You are connecting the faceplates to tags of a PLC data type intended for the faceplates.

1.4 Simulation with SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM / SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM

Advanced

Introduction
You can simulate function blocks with SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM or SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced. The
simulation is already activated in the properties of the function blocks. All you have to do is
activate the simulation capability of the function blocks in the project properties.

Note
Function blocks with activated simulation capability use more memory in the PLC.

Requirement
• Your project is completely compiled.

 Basics
1.5 Using styles

Procedure
1. Select the project in the project tree.
2. Click "Properties" in the context menu.
The project properties are displayed.
3. Select the "Protect" tab.
4. Select the option "Support simulation during block compilation".

1.5 Using styles

Introduction
You can change the style of the drive symbols in Control Function Library V3.1. Only the I/O field
and the circle are supported in V3.1. To do this, use WinCC Unified Corporate Designer.

Note
To use the style file in TIA Portal, copy the file into the project that you want to use:
Tia Portal Project\UserFiles\Styles\LCFLStyles.cd19

Procedure
To use a style in the TIA project, follow these steps:
1. Select the "Runtime settings" command under the HMI device.
2. Select "LCFLStyles" under "General > Screen".

Note
As of V3.1, Control Function Library cannot be used without styles. If no style is specified,
elements that are used on the drive symbols are displayed with the TIA Portal default color (grey).

Predefined styles
With the setup, a Corporate Designer Project (CDP) and the exported style file are provided
under lib\Sys\Control Function Library\UserFiles. The project can be exported
and imported. The style file can be copied into a TIA Portal project. After the Control Function
Library setup, you have the possibility to open the CDP project and import it again.
After the import, you can change the background color, border color or border width, export
the styles into your own project and select them as active style on the device in the TIA
Portal. Your styles are stored in the "UserFiles" folder. To use them, import them into the
TIA Portal.

1.6 Units of measurement

Changing the style of symbol

Control Function Library support the following properties for objects of the type "Circle":
• Background color
• Border color
• Border width
Elements that are used in the TIA Portal by default are already available in the CDE project.
To change the style, select one of the predefined objects.
• LCFLDrivesFilling
Visualizes opening or the open state using the symbol of the faceplate (default color: green).
• LCFLDrivesMovement
Visualizes the movement of a valve or motor as background color using the symbol of the
faceplate (default color: white).
• LCFLStopping
Visualizes the stopping/closing motion or the stopped state using the symbol of the faceplate
(default color: gray).
• LCFLIOField
Used for the configuration of the I/O field properties.

Color palettes
The default colors are already defined in the color palette (in the CDE project) and are used on
the "Circle" object as predefined colors. If a different color is needed on the field, this must be
changed in the color palette.
You can define your own color. A change to the style is also necessary in this case.

Limitations
You cannot change the file name of the CDE project and the names of the objects contained in
it.
Colors and symbol graphics are not applied to the "LCFL_*Home" views.

1.6 Units of measurement

Some of the function blocks in the Control Function Library use units of measurement. When a
function block contains a unit of measurement, the unit of measurement is defined in the
configuration data of the function block (e.g. VUnit = 1001). To display the correct unit of
measurement in the faceplate, the text list "LCFL_Unit" is used. This list contains a data pair (e.g.
1001 = °C) for each unit of measurement. The text list is attached to the interface of the block
icon for the corresponding blocks.

 Basics
1.6 Units of measurement

You can find the list with the units of measurement and their values in the section References
(Page 497).

Note
To save space in the system, not all units of measurement are displayed in their totality. The units
of measurement are displayed left-justified. If you want to abbreviate the unit of measurement,
use the "Customer-specific units".

Upgrading Control Function Library V2.0 to V3.1 2
2.1 Introduction
A few preparations must be made in order to upgrade the Control Function Library from V2.0 to
V3.1.
After the preparations have been completed, you can upgrade the Control Function Library to
V3.1.

Preparations
1. Upgrade your TIA Portal project from V18 to V19 Update 3. (Page 18)
2. Change the configured Runtime version of the HMI device used to V19 Update 3. (Page 19)
3. Delete the LCFL screens from your TIA Portal project. (Page 20)
4. Delete the LCFL screens from the project library. (Page 20)
5. Delete the SiVarc rules "LCFL_1200_CopyRules" and "LCFL_CopyRules" from your TIA Portal
project. (Page 20)
6. Delete the SiVarc rules "LCFL_1200_CopyRules" and "LCFL_CopyRules" from the project
library. (Page 21)

Note
Manual migration of the symbol faceplate within a process screen is not necessary. They are
updated automatically.

Note
Control Function Library V3.1 uses the faceplate-in-faceplate technology. For this reason, the
LCFL screens of the master copies in the project library are no longer available. Since the SiVarc
rules "LCFL_1200_CopyRules" and "LCFL_CopyRules" have a reference to these LCFL screens, you
must delete them manually.

Upgrading the Control Function Library

1. Update the project types. (Page 21)
2. Clean up the project library. (Page 22)
3. Copy the master copies of the Control Function Library into the project library. (Page 24)

Cleaning up the project library

1. Click "Library management" in the context menu of the project library.
The "Library view" opens.
2. Click on the "Clean up project library" button.
The "Clean up project library" dialog opens.
3. Enable the option: "Delete complete types".
4. Click "OK".

Result
All types that are not used in the project have been deleted from the project library. The
folder structure is retained.

Note
When all "Types" folders with the function blocks, PLC data types, and faceplates for each

Defining multilingual support 4
Identifier and description of the DataAssembly
Each DataAssembly contains a unique identifier (TagName) and description (TagDescription).
Both tags are static and can be modeled in multiple languages. In the case of multilingual
modeling, the reference language is exported as the default value.

Note
Open faceplates are closed automatically when the language is changed.

Requirement
• Your TIA Portal project is open.

Procedure for single-instance block

For single-instance blocks, TagName and TagDescription are exported from the title and
comment of the block.
To configure the values, follow these steps:
1. Select the data block in the project tree.
2. Enter the desired values under "Properties > General > Information":
– Title: During an MTP export, this value is written as TagName to the MTP file. The value
must not be longer than 64 characters.
– Comment: During an MTP export, this value is written as TagDescription to the MTP file.
3. If necessary, change the editing language in the "Tasks" task card under "Languages &
Resources", and repeat Step 2 for additional languages.

Note
If the title and comment are not configured for the selected reference language in the block, the
name of the block is exported as TagName and TagDescription.
Additional languages are exported as multilingual text if the title and comment are configured
in the block. If additional languages are configured, configuration of the English values is
mandatory.

Procedure for multi-instance blocks

For multi-instance blocks, TagName and TagDescription are exported from the comment of the
connected technology data block.

SIMATIC Control Function Library

System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation 43
Defining multilingual support

To configure the value, follow these steps:

1. Open the multi-instance block by double-clicking in the project tree.
2. In the "Comment" column of the connected technology data block, enter the desired value
in the form { "TagName" : "<Text for TagName>" , "TagDescription" :
"<Text for TagDescription>" }.
– <Text for TagName>: During an MTP export, this value is written as TagName to the MTP
file. The value must not be longer than 64 characters.
– <Text for TagDescription>: During an MTP export, this value is written as TagDescription
to the MTP file.
3. If necessary, change the editing language in the "Tasks" task card under "Languages &
Resources", and repeat Step 2 for additional languages.

Note
If the "Comment" field is not configured for the selected reference language in the technology
data block, the composite names of multi-instance and lower-level instance data blocks are
exported as TagName and TagDescription.
Additional languages are exported as multilingual text if the comment field is configured in the
technology data block. If additional languages are configured, configuration of the English value
is mandatory.

Alarms 5
Introduction
With some faceplates of the Control Function Library it is possible to output predefined alarms
and thus monitor your process. You can implement the monitoring with ProDiag or discrete
alarms.
Each alarm can be activated or deactivated by a separate alarm activation tag. Each alarm is
represented by a separate alarm display tag.

Alarm activation tag

Each alarm can be activated or deactivated in a corresponding configuration data block using
associated PLC data types. The name of the alarm activation tag ends with "MessageEn" and the
default value for each alarm is "TRUE", i.e. activated. Each alarm activation tag has a similar
comment, such as "Alarm activation for ... (1: Enabled; 0: Deactivated)".

Alarm display tag

Each alarm has a separate alarm display tag in the associated PLC data type for extending MTP
data. The name of the alarm display tag ends with "Message" and the default value for each
message is "FALSE", i.e. not activated. Each alarm display tag has a similar comment, such as
"Alarm for ... (1: Message active; 0: Message is deactivated)".
Monitoring is configured with ProDiag for each alarm display tag. This only applies to the
function block of the hardware families "SIMATIC S7-1500" and "SIMATIC S7-1500 Software
Controller". For the hardware family "SIMATIC S7-1200" this monitoring is not available with
ProDiag.

5.1 Defining alarm classes

Introduction
In your project tree under "Common data > Alarm classes" the Control Function Library provides
you with 8 alarm classes with the following properties:
• Alarm (ID = 35; Acknowledgment = Yes; Priority = 12)
• Process alarm (ID = 36; Acknowledgment = Yes; Priority = 4)
• Status (ID = 37; Acknowledgment = No; Priority = 12)
• Tolerance (ID = 38; Acknowledgment = Yes; Priority = 8)
• Event message (ID = 39; Acknowledgment = No; Priority = 8)
• Maintenance demanded (ID = 40; Acknowledgment = Yes; Priority = 1)

SIMATIC Control Function Library

System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation 45
Alarms
5.2 Activating alarm classes

• PLC process monitoring (ID = 41; Acknowledgment = Yes; Priority = 5)

• Warning (ID = 42; Acknowledgment = Yes; Priority = 8)
This proposal for each individual alarm class is stored under the master copies in the folder
"General > WinCC Unified > Alarm classes > HMI alarms".

Note
The alarm classes are additionally provided as an external object under "Control Function Library
> UserFiles > AlarmClasses.dat" and can be imported into the alarm classes under "Common
data" using the import function.

The alarm classes are automatically transferred from the "Common data" folder to your
HMI device. Each alarm class has the same default settings for colors and flash attributes.
Therefore, adapt the colors and flash attributes for all 8 alarm classes. You only need to make
these settings once for a TIA Portal project.
A proposal for each individual color and its flash attributes for each individual alarm class
is stored under the master copies in the "General > WinCC Unified > Alarm classes > HMI
alarms" folder. The master copies begin with the name "LCFL_Color".

Procedure
1. In your project tree, navigate to "<HMI device>[WinCC Unified PC RT] > HMI alarms".
2. In the display area, navigate to the "Alarm classes" tab.
The alarm classes are automatically taken from the "Common data" folder and displayed.
3. Select an alarm class.
4. In the Inspector window, navigate to "Settings > General > Colors".
5. Change the colors and flash attributes.
6. Repeat steps 3–5 for all 8 alarm classes of the Control Function Library.

5.2 Activating alarm classes

Introduction
To use ProDiag, activate the alarm classes. If necessary, adapt the structure of the alarm texts.
The "FB parameters" of the "Supervisions with an error message" are used for the alarm texts.
The structure is specified as follows: <PLC name> : <Instance name> : <Specific text box>.
The specific text field is the alarm text defined in the function block and is a requirement for
alarm filtering in the associated alarm overview (faceplate).

Procedure
1. In your project tree, navigate to "Common data > Supervision settings".
2. Navigate to "General > Categories" in the display area.

3. Activate all 8 alarm classes.

4. Navigate to "Alarm texts > Supervisions with an error message > FB parameters".
5. If necessary, adapt the structure of the alarm texts.

Result
The alarm classes are activated and, if necessary, the structure of the alarm texts is adapted.
The monitoring settings are additionally provided as an external object under "Control
Function Library > UserFiles > ProDiagSettings.dat". These can be imported via the import
function in the monitoring settings under "Common data".

5.3 Monitoring with ProDiag

With ProDiag you can monitor your process and intervene in the process in the event of a fault.
The supervision alarms that you can create for different faults provide you with specific
information on the supervision type, the location, and the cause of the fault. For the detected
faults, you also have the option of outputting notes on how to rectify them. This enables you not
only to detect faults, but also to identify potential risks of fault and take appropriate
countermeasures.
Few configuration steps are necessary to integrate simple supervisions into your program.
You do not need to change the program code. For example, you can create a supervision
by monitoring a Boolean operand for its signal state. As soon as the operand delivers
the set signal state, a ProDiag supervision alarm is output based on the configured
ProDiag supervision settings. The configuration of the supervisions is independent of the
programming languages of the TIA Portal because only individual operands are supervised,
and you do not need any additional programming sections.

is possible with the "SIMATIC S7-1200", "SIMATIC S7-1500", and "SIMATIC S7-1500 Software
Controller" hardware families.
A discrete alarm can be created for each alarm display tag marked with "Message" at the end
in the tag designation.
Each individual discrete alarm is stored under the master copies in the "General > WinCC
Unified > Discrete alarms > HMI alarms" folder. After the discrete alarms have been copied
from the master copies, they can be found in your project tree under "<HMI device>[WinCC
Unified PC RT] > HMI alarms" in the "Discrete alarms" tab.

6.1 Common Blocks
A Common Block is a subfunction of a function block that provides a specific functionality. This
functionality is called by the function block. The Common Block takes on a specific task in this
case and then refers back to the called location.
A Common Block is identified by an identifier (e.g. FeedbackMonitoring). Data is transferred
to the identifier in the form of arguments from the calling function block for processing.
The Common Blocks (e.g. FeedbackMonitoring) are used by several function blocks (e.g.
MonBinVlv and MonBinDrv).
A function block that calls a Common Block is used in an organization block. The Common
Block is automatically stored in the program folders of your project in the process.

Configuration

LCFL drives
All LCFL drives are equipped with the input/output parameter "interconnector".
The function is called within an LCFL_function block. The "interconnector" input/
output parameter on the LCFL function block must be associated with the
"LCFL_typeDriveInterconnector" data type.

Standalone mode of the drive

To operate in standalone mode, the interconnector is connected to an empty interconnector,
preferably to its own configuration:
Instance DB of LCFL_Drive.interconnector :=
LCFL_typeConfigDrive.standaloneDrive
In this case, the drive is controlled in the classic sense, as described in the Drives sections.

Interconnector mode of the drive / LCFL_Aggr8 as a higher-level control

To operate in interconnector mode, the drive is connected to the interconnector tag of the
higher-level control (e.g. LCFL_Aggr8):
Instance DB of LCFL_Drive.interconnector :=
LCFL_typeConfigAggr8.driveInterconnectors[0..7]
LCFL_Aggr8 can control up to 8 drives. Therefore 8 interconnector-slot-interconnectors[0..7]
are available, where 0 refers to the connection point of the control module (drive) 1 and so
on.
The aggregate is connected via the input/output parameter "interconnector" to the
LCFL_function block via the data type "LCFL_typeDriveInterconnector" or via the input/

6.1.4 Maintenance

6.1.4.1 LCFL_Maintenance – Description of function

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 2004
Family: Common

Description
The "LCFL_Maintenance" function is used for the following application areas:
• Measure the actual operating time of the drive.
• Measure the actual cycle time of the drive.
• Measure the number of status changes to determine how many times the drive has been
switched to the on status.
• Measure the number of alarms to determine how often the drive displays an alarm.
• Compare the actual values with the associated limit value.
• Change the actual values and limit values on the HMI.

"controlActive" input
The "controlActive" input indicates whether the drive is active. If the drive is active
(controlActive = 1), this information is used as a calculation basis for the operating time
and cycle time.

"alarmActive" input
The "alarmActive" input indicates whether the drive is in an alarm state. If the alarm status
is active (alarmActive = 1), this information is used as a calculation basis for the number of
status changes and alarms.

SIMATIC Control Function Library

60 System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation
 Program blocks
6.1 Common Blocks

Limits
You have the option to set limit values for operating time, cycle time, number of status
changes and number of alarms. The faceplate displays the actual values and their limit
values. If the actual value is greater than or equal to the limit value, the actual value is
displayed with a yellow border in the faceplate.
This information can be used to display a yellow warning on the drive icon and on the Home
view, and to issue alarms in the Alarm view.
If a limit value is set to 0, the associated value evaluation remains active. The limit-dependent
signals are deactivated at the function block output and at the HMI.

Configuration
The function is called within an LCFL_function block. All inputs must be interconnected. The
"configuration" input/output parameter on the LCFL function block must be associated with the
LCFL_typeConfigMaintenance data type.

Operating time
The times when the drive is activated are summed up as operating time. The
"HMI.operatingTimeAct" parameter contains the current operating time. When the limit of
operating time (HMI.operatingTimeLimit) is reached, the corresponding state
"HMI.operatingTimeReached = 1" is set.

Cycle time
The time elapsed since the last switch-on is summed up as cycle time. The parameter
"HMI.cycleTimeAct" contains the current cycle time. When the limit of the cycle time
(HMI.cycleTimeLimit) is reached, the corresponding state "HMI.cycleTimeReached = 1" is set.

Number of status changes

Whenever the drive is activated, the number is increased. Deactivation of the drive is not
counted. The "HMI.switchCounterAct" parameter contains the current number of status
changes. When the limit of the quantity (HMI.switchCounterLimit) is reached, the
corresponding state "HMI.switchCounterReached = 1" is set.

Number of alarms
Whenever the drive indicates an alarm, the number of alarms is increased. The
"HMI.alarmCounterAct" parameter contains the current number of alarms. When the limit of the
quantity (HMI.alarmCounterLimit) is reached, the corresponding state
"HMI.alarmCounterReached = 1" is set.

Description
With the "LCFL_OSLevel" function, you can specify whether read permission or write permission
is given for the views within the faceplates.
The OS Level provides a mechanism for monitoring the writing at multiple operator
levels. Each operating level (e.g. local control room / central control room) is assigned a
corresponding number. If the operator level value and the operating system level value from
the object match, the control elements permit the write command, otherwise the fields are
disabled. This prevents unauthorized write access at the operator level. The operator level
value is stored in a central data storage location within the OS level. All operator levels access
one and the same value.

6.3.1 MonAnaDrv

6.3.1.1 LCFL_MonAnaDrv – Description of function

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 2018
Family: Drives

Description
The "LCFL_MonAnaDrv" function block enables you to control a drive and specify a speed. The
drive stops, moves forward or moves in reverse with control signal. The drive cannot be moved
directly from one direction to the other. The drive must be stopped beforehand.
The following outputs are used to control the drive:

Drive Parameter Description

Stop controlStop controlStop = 1
The drive is stopped.
controlStop = 0
The drive is not stopped.
Move forward controlForward controlForward = 1
The drive is moved forward.
controlForward = 0
The drive is not moved forward.
Move in reverse controlReverse controlReverse = 1
The drive is moved in reverse.
controlReverse = 0
The drive is not moved in reverse.

SIMATIC Control Function Library

System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation 77
Program blocks
6.3 Drives

The current state of the drive is indicated at the following outputs:

Drive Parameter Description

Stop stopActive stopActive = 1
Active / Inactive The drive is stopped.
stopActive = 0
The drive is not stopped.
Move forward forwardActive forwardActive = 1
Active / Inactive The drive moves forward.
forwardActive = 0
The drive does not move forward.
Move in reverse reverseActive reverseActive = 1
Active / Inactive The drive moves in reverse.
reverseActive = 0
The drive does not move in reverse.

The controller is monitored by the forward and reverse checkback signals on the function
block. Missing feedback messages are derived from the control in the function block.
In addition, you can monitor the speed of the drive. The function block checks
the limits of the speed setpoint and forwards them to the "revolutionSpeed" output
depending on whether the manual (output: sourceManualActive = 1) or the internal
(output: sourceInternalActive = 1) source mode is active. When the drive is stopped,
the speed setpoint is set to 0. The setpoint is monitored by the checkback signal
"revolutionSpeedFeedback". An incorrect feedback can be derived from the setpoint in the
function block.
The output "safePosActive" indicates whether the safe position is activated (safe operation).

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
• Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
• Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
Under function block input/output parameter, connect a tag that is derived from the PLC data
type "LCFL_typeConfigMonAnaDrv".
Instance names, feedbacks, monitoring feedbacks, operator authorization, interlock and
protection are activated or deactivated and configured in this PLC data type. You can also
configure the safe position that the drive is set to in case of a monitoring error, as well as the
static and dynamic monitoring times.
The limits must be configured according to the following rule:
configuration.revolutionSpeedScaleMin <=
configuration.revolutionSpeedAlarmLowLim <=
0.0 <=
configuration.revolutionSpeedAlarmHighLim <=
configuration.revolutionSpeedScaleMax

Operating mode
The operating mode is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_OperationMode".
You can find more information at LCFL_OperationMode – Description of function (Page 62).
The operator mode is active when the PLC is started. The following actions are possible in the
individual operating modes:

Operating mode Actions

Offline No operation is possible in offline mode.
Operator If the mode is set to "Operator" (stateOperator = 1), the operator can use
the following signals to control the drive:
• Stop (HMI.mtpData.StopOp = 1)
• Move forward (HMI.mtpData.FwdOp = 1)
• Move in reverse (HMI.mtpData.RevOp = 1)
Automatic If the mode is set to "Automatic" (stateAutomatic = 1), the state can be
changed by the following inputs:
• Stop (stop = 1)
• Move forward (forward = 1)
• Move in reverse (reverse = 1)
If all three states are requested simultaneously, the drive is stopped. If
the forward state and the reverse state are requested at the same time,
the drive remains in the state before the request. "Stop" is prioritized over
"forward" and "reverse". "forward" and "reverse" have the same priority.

Note
If an interconnector is being used and is active, the inputs "Stop", "Move forward" and "Move in
reverse" are inactive in automatic mode. The higher-level control sends the control signals via
the interconnector.

Drive interconnector
The drive interconnector is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_DriveInterconnector".
You can find more information at LCFL_DriveInterconnector – Description of function
(Page 55).

Source mode
The source mode is applied from the subfunction LCFL_SourceMode.
You can find more information at LCFL_SourceMode – Description of function (Page 69).
Depending on the source mode, the value at the output "revolutionSpeed" is either set or
reset:
• "Manual" source mode
Specification of speed via faceplate (HMI.mtpData.RpmMan)
• "Internal" source mode
Specification of the speed via an interconnection at the "revolutionSpeedInternal" input.
The manual value is tracked from the limited internal value to achieve a smooth switchover
from the internal to the manual value.

Interlocks
The interlocks are applied from the subfunction "LCFL_Interlock".
You can find more information at LCFL_Interlock – Description of function (Page 58).

Feedback quality
The function block uses the "forwardFeedbackQuality" and "reverseFeedbackQuality" quality
inputs to check the validity of the corresponding checkback signals.

forwardActive
The quality inputs have effects on the "forwardActive" output. This can only be active when
the following conditions are defined:
• (configuration.forwardFeedbackEn = 1 AND forwardFeedbackQuality = 1)
AND
forwardFeedback = 1
• configuration.forwardFeedbackEn = 0
AND
controlForward = 1

the following conditions are defined:
• (configuration.reverseFeedbackEn = 1 AND reverseFeedbackQuality = 1)
AND
reverseFeedback = 1
• configuration.reverseFeedbackEn = 0
AND
controlReverse = 1

safePosActive
The quality inputs have effects on the activation of the safe position (output:
"safePosActive"). The safe position is only active when the following conditions are defined:
• configuration.forwardFeedbackEn = 1
AND
forwardFeedbackQuality = 0
AND
configuration.reverseFeedbackEn = 1

Speed monitoring
The speed is monitored for deviations from the high limit and low limit, which you define
yourself. The "HMI.mtpData.RmpErr" tag is used to calculate the difference between the speed
setpoint "HMI.mtpData.Rmp" and the actual speed value "HMI.mtpData.RmpFbk".
To monitor the speed, you must activate the speed limits beforehand:
• Enable speed alarm high limit: "HMI.mtpData.RmpAHEn = 1"
• Enable speed alarm low limit: "HMI.mtpData.RmpALEn = 1"
If the difference is higher than the speed alarm high limit "HMI.mtpData.RmpAHLim", the
alarm of the speed high limit is displayed (HMI.mtpData.RmpAHAct).
If the difference is less than the speed alarm low limit "HMI.mtpData.RmpALLim", the alarm
of the speed low limit is displayed (HMI.mtpData.RmpALAct).

Safe position
The safe position of a drive is always the idle position (stopped).
You can exit the safe position by activating the operator authorization ("permit = 1" input).
The activation has no effect when the function block is not in the safe position. An
active interlock ("interlock = 0" or "protect = 0" inputs) moves the function block into the
safe position. Depending on the input configuration, the drive moves to its safe position
(configuration.monitorSafePos) or not after a feedback error.

Triggering of the motor protection

If the input is "trip = 0", a triggering of the safety indicator occurs. The drive moves into the safe
position if it is activated.

Reset
In the following cases, the operator (HMI.mtpData.ResetOp) or an activation sequence must
perform a "Reset" by means of interconnection (reset):
• To activate the interlock again after the interlock condition at the input "protect = 0 -> 1" has
been deleted.
• To activate the safety indicator again after the trip condition has been deleted.
• To prevent a feedback monitoring error or speed monitoring error from being displayed after
the error has been corrected.

Maintenance
The maintenance is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_Maintenance".
You can find more information at LCFL_Maintenance – Description of function (Page 60).

6.3.2 MonAnaVlv

6.3.2.1 LCFL_MonAnaVlv – Description of function

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 2019
Family: Drives

Description
You can use the function block "LCFL_MonAnaVlv" to open or close an analog valve with a
control signal.
The following outputs are used to open and close the valve:

Valve Parameter Description

Open controlOpen controlOpen = 1
The valve is opened (to setpoint position).
controlOpen = 0
The valve is not opened.
Close controlClose controlClose = 1
The valve is closed (to minimum position
configuration).
controlClose = 0
The valve is not closed.

When the valve is opened, the valve is set to the maximum position configuration that is
configured at the "configuration.posMax" parameter.
When the valve is closed, the valve is set to the minimum position configuration that is
configured at the "configuration.posMin" parameter.
With the "position" parameter, the current setpoint position of the valve is output and can
thus be monitored.

The current state of the valve is indicated at the following outputs:

Checkback signal Parameter Description

Open openActive openActive = 1
The valve is open.
openActive = 0
The valve is not open.
Closed closeActive closeActive = 1
The valve is closed.
closeActive = 0
The valve is not closed.

The controller is monitored by the open and close checkback signals at the function block.
Missing feedback messages are derived from the control in the function block.

SIMATIC Control Function Library

System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation 87
Program blocks
6.3 Drives

The function block checks the limits of the position setpoint and forwards them to the
output position depending on whether the manual or the internal source mode is active. The
setpoint is monitored by the feedback signal "positionFeedback". An incorrect feedback can
be derived from the setpoint in the function block.
The output "safePosActive" indicates whether the safe position is activated (safe operation).

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
• Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
• Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
Under function block input/output parameter, connect a tag that is derived from the PLC data
type "LCFL_typeConfigMonAnaVlv".
Instance names, feedbacks, monitoring feedbacks, operator authorization, interlock and
protection are activated or deactivated and configured in this PLC data type. You also
configure the safe position (valve open or valve closed) that the valve is set to in case of
a monitoring error, as well as the static and dynamic monitoring times and the position.

Position limits
The limits must be configured according to the following rules:
• configuration.positionMin < configuration.positionMax
• configuration.positionScaleMin < configuration.positionScaleMax
• configuration.positionTolerance >= 0.0

Operating mode
The operating mode is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_OperationMode".
You can find more information at LCFL_OperationMode – Description of function (Page 62).

The operator mode is active when the PLC is started. The following actions are possible in the
individual operating modes:

Operating mode Actions

Offline No operation is possible in offline mode.
Operator If the mode is set to "Operator" (stateOperator = 1), the oper‐
ator can use the following signals to control the valve:
• Open valve (HMI.mtpData.OpenOp = 1)
• Close valve (HMI.mtpData.CloseOp = 1)
Automatic If the mode is set to "Automatic" (stateAutomatic = 1), the
state can be changed by the following inputs:
• Open valve (open = 1)
• Close valve (close = 1)
If the safe position is activated and both states are requested
at the same time, the valve goes to the safe position.

Note
If an interconnector is being used and is active, the inputs "Open valve" and "Close valve" are
inactive in automatic mode. The higher-level control sends the control signals via the
interconnector.

Drive interconnector
The drive interconnector is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_DriveInterconnector".

openFeedback openFeedbackCalculated = ABS (positionFeedback - configu‐
ration.positionMax) <= configuration.positionTolerance
closeFeedback closeFeedbackCalculated = ABS (positionFeedback - configu‐
ration.positionMin) <= configuration.positionTolerance

The "positionFeedback" parameter can be replaced by the position setpoint:

Parameter Calculation
positionFeedback positionFeedbackCalculated = position

The status of the feedback calculations is displayed on HMI.mtpData.*FbkCalc. When the tag
= 1, the feedback is calculated; otherwise, the corresponding inputs are linked as feedback
source. Feedback calculation is disabled by default.

Feedback quality
The function block uses the "openFeedbackQuality", "closeFeedbackQuality" and
"positionFeedbackQuality" quality inputs to check the validity of the corresponding checkback
signals.

openActive
The "openActive" output shows the status of the open feedback signal:
• 1: Open
• 0: Not open
The feedback signal can be calculated or linked with the corresponding input as described in
the "Feedback calculation" section.

closeActive
The "closeActive" output shows the status of the close feedback signal:
• 1: Closed
• 0: Not closed
The feedback signal can be calculated or linked with the corresponding input as described in
the "Feedback calculation" section.

safePosActive
The output "safePosActive" = 1 (HMI.mtpData.SafePosAct) when the safe position is activated
(safePosEn). The safe position can be configured as described in the section "Safe position".

Feedback monitoring
The feedback monitoring is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_FeedbackMonitoring".
You can find more information at LCFL_FeedbackMonitoring – Description of function
(Page 57).

Position monitoring
Position monitoring expands feedback monitoring with tags. The system also monitors whether
the execution time to open or close the valve is within the set time. The HMI.mtpData.MonPosErr
and monitorPositionErr output tags indicate violation of the execution time. The target position
has been reached when the setpoint position +/– the position tolerance has been reached. The
position tolerance is defined by means of configuration.positionTolerance. Position monitoring
is enabled with configuration.monitorEn = 1. The monitoring time for positioning errors is
defined with configuration.monitorPositionTime. HMI.mtpData.PosReachedFbk indicates that
the setpoint position that is being calculated has been reached: ABS (HMI.mtpData.PosFbk –
HMI.mtpData.Pos) <= configuration.positionTolerance.

Safe position
The safe position is defined by the following parameter:

Safe position Parameter Description

Open / closed safePos configuration.safePos = 1
The safe position of the valve is "open".
configuration.safePos = 0
The safe position of the valve is "closed".

SIMATIC Control Function Library

System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation 91
Program blocks
6.3 Drives

If no safe position is configured, the parameter is safePosEn = 0.

You can exit the safe position by activating the operator authorization ("permit = 1" input).
The activation has no effect when the function block is not in the safe position. An
active interlock ("interlock = 0" or "protect = 0" inputs) moves the function block into the
safe position. Depending on the input configuration, the valve moves to its safe position
(configuration.monitorSafePos) or not after a feedback error.

Reset
In the following cases, the operator (HMI.mtpData.ResetOp) or an activation sequence must
perform a "Reset" by means of interconnection (reset):
• To activate the interlock again after the interlock condition at the input "protect = 0 -> 1" has
been deleted.
• To activate the safety indicator again after the trip condition has been deleted.
• To prevent a monitoring error from being displayed after the error has been corrected.

Maintenance
The maintenance is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_Maintenance".
You can find more information at LCFL_Maintenance – Description of function (Page 60).

The following outputs are used to control the drive:

Drive Parameter Description

Stop controlStop controlStop = 1
The drive is stopped.
controlStop = 0
The drive is not stopped.
Move forward controlForward controlForward = 1
The drive is moved forward.
controlForward = 0
The drive is not moved forward.
Move in reverse controlReverse controlReverse = 1
The drive is moved in reverse.
controlReverse = 0
The drive is not moved in reverse.

The current state of the drive is indicated at the following outputs:

Drive Parameter Description

Stop stopActive stopActive = 1
Active / Inactive The drive is stopped.
stopActive = 0
The drive is not stopped.
Move forward forwardActive forwardActive = 1
Active / Inactive The drive moves forward.
forwardActive = 0
The drive does not move forward.
Move in reverse reverseActive reverseActive = 1
Active / Inactive The drive moves in reverse.
reverseActive = 0
The drive does not move in reverse.

The controller is monitored by the forward and reverse checkback signals on the function
block. Missing feedback messages are derived from the control in the function block.
The output "safePosActive" indicates whether the safe position is activated (safe operation).

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
• Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
• Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
Under function block input/output parameter, connect a tag that is derived from the PLC data
type "LCFL_typeConfigMonBinDrv".
Instance names, feedbacks, monitoring feedbacks, operator authorization, interlock and
protection are activated or deactivated and configured in this PLC data type. You can also
configure the safe position that the drive is set to in case of a monitoring error, as well as the
static and dynamic monitoring times.

Operating mode
The operating mode is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_OperationMode".
You can find more information at LCFL_OperationMode – Description of function (Page 62).

The operator mode is active when the PLC is started. The following actions are possible in the
individual operating modes:

Operating mode Actions

Offline No operation is possible in offline mode.
Operator If the mode is set to "Operator" (stateOperator = 1), the operator can use
the following signals to control the drive:
• Stop (HMI.mtpData.StopOp = 1)
• Move forward (HMI.mtpData.FwdOp = 1)
• Move in reverse (HMI.mtpData.RevOp = 1)
Automatic If the mode is set to "Automatic" (stateAutomatic = 1), the state can be
changed by the following inputs:
• Stop (stop = 1)
• Move forward (forward = 1)
• Move in reverse (reverse = 1)
If all three states are requested simultaneously, the drive is stopped. If
the forward state and the reverse state are requested at the same time,
the drive remains in the state before the request. "Stop" is prioritized over
"forward" and "reverse". "forward" and "reverse" have the same priority.

Note
If an interconnector is being used and is active, the inputs "Stop", "Move forward" and "Move in
reverse" are inactive in automatic mode. The higher-level control sends the control signals via
the interconnector.

Drive interconnector
The drive interconnector is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_DriveInterconnector".

Feedback monitoring
The feedback monitoring is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_FeedbackMonitoring".
You can find more information at LCFL_FeedbackMonitoring – Description of function
(Page 57).

Safe position
The safe position of a drive is always the idle position (stopped).
You can exit the safe position by activating the operator authorization ("permit = 1" input).
The activation has no effect when the function block is not in the safe position. An
active interlock ("interlock = 0" or "protect = 0" inputs) moves the function block into the
safe position. Depending on the input configuration, the drive moves to its safe position
(configuration.monitorSafePos) or not after a feedback error.

Triggering of the motor protection

If the input is "trip = 0", a triggering of the safety indicator occurs. The drive moves into the safe
position if it is activated.

The quality inputs have effects on the activation of the safe position (output: "safePosActive")
if the safe position is enabled (configuration.safePosEn = 1). The safe position is only active
when the following conditions are defined:
• configuration.closeFeedbackEn = 1
AND
configuration.safePos = 0 (Close)
AND
closeFeedbackQuality = 0
• configuration.openFeedbackEn = 1
AND
configuration.safePos = 1 (Open)
AND
openFeedbackQuality = 0

Feedback monitoring
The feedback monitoring is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_FeedbackMonitoring".
You can find more information at LCFL_FeedbackMonitoring – Description of function
(Page 57).

Safe position
The safe position is defined by the following parameter:

Safe position Parameter Description

Open / closed safePos configuration.safePos = 1
The safe position of the valve is "open".
configuration.safePos = 0
The safe position of the valve is "closed".

SIMATIC Control Function Library

108 System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation
 Program blocks
6.3 Drives

If no safe position is configured, the parameter is safePosEn = 0.

You can exit the safe position by activating the operator authorization ("permit = 1" input).
The activation has no effect when the function block is not in the safe position. An
active interlock ("interlock = 0" or "protect = 0" inputs) moves the function block into the
safe position. Depending on the input configuration, the valve moves to its safe position
(configuration.monitorSafePos) or not after a feedback error.

Reset
In the following cases, the operator (HMI.mtpData.ResetOp) or an activation sequence must
perform a "Reset" by means of interconnection (reset):
• To activate the interlock again after the interlock condition at the input "protect = 0 -> 1" has
been deleted.
• To activate the safety indicator again after the trip condition has been deleted.
• To prevent a monitoring error from being displayed after the error has been corrected.

Operating hours
The times during which the valve opens or closes, are totaled up as operating hours. The
parameter "HMI.operatingHoursAct" contains the current operating hours as a real value. When
the limit of operating hours (configuration.operatingHoursLimit) is reached, the corresponding
state "HMI.operatingHoursReached = 1" is set.

Switch counter of the status change

The switch counter increases every time the valve opens or closes. The parameter
"HMI.switchCounterAct" contains the current switch counts. When the limit of the switch
counter (configuration.switchCounterLimit) is reached, the corresponding state
"HMI.switchCounterReached = 1" is set.

Maintenance
The maintenance is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_Maintenance".
You can find more information at LCFL_Maintenance – Description of function (Page 60).

6.4.1.1 LCFL_AnaMon - Description of function

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 2010
Family: Monitoring

Description
You can use the "LCFL_AnaMon" function block to display analog values of the PLC (e.g. process
values and parameters). These include:
• Current value
• Unit of measure
• Minimum scale value
• Maximum scale value
The scale values describe the configured limits. The configured limits are a combination
of the physically possible value range and usable value range. The basis for this are the
configured limits in the PLC. The unit of a value is described with a unit tag, for example,
1001 = °C - degrees Celsius (see section References (Page 497)). The output tag contains the
active value.

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
• Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
• Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
Under function block input/output parameter, connect a tag that is derived from the PLC data
type "LCFL_typeConfigAnaMon".
In this PLC data type the instance name, the upper and lower limits for tolerance, warning
and alarm are activated or deactivated and configured.

Limit monitoring
The function block monitors an analog value for up to 6 limits. The limits are divided into
high limits and low limits for tolerance, warning and alarm.

Type + number: FB 2011
Family: Monitoring

Description
You can use the function block "LCFL_BinMon" to monitor digital process tags with or without
flutter monitoring. The function block signals excess flutter signals that are generated within a
defined period. The digital value to be monitored is connected to the value input parameter.
The following output is used for flutter monitoring:

Parameter Description
flutteringActive flutteringActive = 1
Flutter signal detected.
flutteringActive = 0
No flutter signal detected.

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
• Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
• Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
Under function block input/output parameter, connect a tag that is derived from the PLC data
type "LCFL_typeConfigBinMon".
In this PLC data type the instance name is configured, the flutter detection is activated or
deactivated and configured. Texts can be stored for the values "true" and "false".

Flutter monitoring
The "enable" tag is used for activating or deactivating flutter monitoring.

Flutter detection Parameter Description

Activate / Deactivate configuration.flutterin‐ configuration.flutteringEn = 1
gEn Flutter monitoring is enabled.
configuration.flutteringEn = 0
Flutter monitoring is disabled.

SIMATIC Control Function Library

System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation 117
Program blocks
6.4 Monitoring

The following parameters are available to you for configuration:

Parameter Description
configuration.flutteringTime Period of an active signal before it is detected as flutter-free [s]
configuration.flutteringCount Counts of the allowed flutter signals in the defined period
configuration.flutteringLen Period of the signal length that is needed to prevent flutter detection
[s]

Each change of the input signal with a length that is less than the value of the configuration
parameter "configuration.flutteringLen" is detected as fluttering.

An active flutter is detected (flutteringActive = 1) if during the period of an active signal

before it is detected as flutter-free (configuration.flutteringTime), the active signal changes
more than the number of flutter signals allowed (configuration.flutteringCount) 0->1->0 or
1->0->1 and the time for each change is less than the period of signal length needed to
prevent flutter detection (configuration.flutteringLen).

6.5.1.1 LCFL_AnaManInt – Description of function

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 2014
Family: Operate

Description
The "LCFL_AnaManInt" function block gives you the option of checking and transmitting analog
input values. The function block checks the following incoming, analog values for their limits:
• Manual analog values that are entered in the HMI
• Internal analog values
The function block then forwards the analog value to the output value, depending on
whether the source mode "Manual" or "Internal" is active.

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
• Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
• Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
Under function block input/output parameter, connect a tag that is derived from the PLC data
type "LCFL_typeConfigAnaManInt".
In this PLC data type the instance name, scale, unit, and minimum and maximum limits of
the analog value are configured.

Source mode
The source mode is applied from the subfunction LCFL_SourceMode.
You can find more information at LCFL_SourceMode – Description of function (Page 69).

SIMATIC Control Function Library

126 System Manual, 09/2024;V3.1, Online documentation

Depending on the source mode, the analog value at the output "valueOut" is either set or
reset:
• "Manual" source mode
Specification of analog value via HMI (HMI.mtpData.VMan)
• "Internal" source mode
Specification of analog value via an interconnection at the input "valueInternal".
The manual analog value is tracked from the limited internal analog value to achieve a
smooth switchover from the internal to the analog value.

Feedback value
The function block has the input parameter "valueFeedback" for displaying a feedback value in

6.6.1 Aggr8

6.6.1.1 LCFL_Aggr8 – Description of function

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 2022
Family: Control

Description
The "LCFL_Aggr8" function block controls the automatic switching on/off and switchover of up
to 8 aggregates.
A requested aggregate number is required for the first start. This is set in the HMI or in the
PLC. This can be done in "Operator" mode (HMI.data.NoMan signal) or "Automatic" mode
(HMI.data.NoMan signal) mode. This value is limited to 8. If the value is greater than 8, the
maximum number (8) is set.
The drive can be controlled by the elapsed cycle time or elapsed operating time. This is set
in the HMI or in the PLC. This can be done in "Operator" mode or "Automatic" mode. In
"Operator" mode, select a value. If the signal is HMI.data.SmMan = 1, the operating time is
taken into account. If the signal is HMI.data.SmInt = 0, the cycle time is taken into account.
The behavior is the same in the "Automatic" mode. This value is limited to 8. If the value is
greater than 8, the maximum number (8) is set.
The aggregates may have a different priority. A list with the sequence of the start process is
useful here.

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
• Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
• Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
Under the function block input/output parameter, connect a tag that is derived from the PLC
data type "LCFL_typeConfigAggr8".
The instance name, delay time, rest time, runtime limit value, aggregate text to identify the
aggregate and the type of the aggregate are configured in this PLC data type.
You can enable or disable the error output.

Drive interconnector
The drive interconnector is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_DriveInterconnector".

You can find more information at LCFL_DriveInterconnector – Description of function

(Page 55).

Drive connection without interconnector

The drives can be connected conventionally via the input and output interfaces of the
function block:
• Inputs: aggregate1.. aggregate8
• Output: onAggregates
The input tags receive the status information from the drive. The output tag sends the start
signal to the drive.

Name Interface Data type Description

aggregate1..8 Input parameters Byte Status of the aggregate: Bit 0 - enabled, Bit 1 -
ready, Bit 2 - on
onAggregates Output parameters Byte Bits 0 to 7: Aggregate 1 to 8, 1 = command on, 0
= command off.

These signals are to be evaluated and connected to drives in code logic.

Drive connection with interconnector

To operate in interconnector mode, the interconnector input/output parameter of the drive is
connected to the configuration tag of LCFL_Aggr8 (driveInterconnectors[0..7])
LCFL_Aggr8 can control up to 8 drives. Therefore 8 interconnector-slot-interconnectors[0..7]
are available, where 0 refers to the connection point of the control module (drive)
1 and so on. The connected interconnectors can be enabled accordingly with
driveInterconnectorsEn[0..7] bits. The direction of rotation is specified with the configuration
tag "driveDirectionOnInterconnectors[0..7]". This does not affect valves, which are only
relevant for motor drives. When the interconnector is activated, communication with the
corresponding modules is implemented via the interconnector, and the status information of
the drive is evaluated accordingly. This means that the input tags "aggregateX" are omitted,
output "onAggregates" continues to function unchanged.

Features of the start

The function block switches to manual mode when the PLC is started and the block is activated.

Source mode
The source mode is applied from the subfunction LCFL_SourceMode.
You can find more information at LCFL_SourceMode – Description of function (Page 69).

Source mode for the number of requested aggregates (manual and internal)
Depending on the source mode, the value at the output "number" is either set or reset:
• "Manual" source mode
Specification of the binary value via faceplate (HMI.data.NoMan)
• "Internal" source mode
Specification of the binary value via an interconnector interconnection at the
"numberSourceInternal" input.
The manual value is tracked by the internal value to achieve a smooth switchover from the
internal to the manual value.

Source mode for switchover by time (manual and internal)

Depending on the source mode, the value at the output "switchMode" is either set or reset:
• "Manual" source mode
Specification of the binary value via faceplate (HMI.data.SmMan)
• "Internal" source mode
Specification of the binary value via an interconnector interconnection at the
"switchModeSourceInternal" input.
The manual value is tracked by the internal value to achieve a smooth switchover from the
internal to the manual value.

Source mode for priorities (manual and internal)

SIMATIC Control Function Library

Program blocks
6.6 Control

Depending on the source mode, the value at the output "priority1..8" is either set or reset:
• "Manual" source mode
Specification of the binary value via faceplate (HMI.data.PrioritiesMan)
• "Internal" source mode
Specification of the binary value via an interconnector interconnection at the
"aggregateXPriority" input.
The manual value is tracked by the internal value to achieve a smooth switchover from the
internal to the manual value.

Modes
The function block controls the automatic switching on/off of up to 8 aggregates.

Sequential switching by priority

• Switch on: The released aggregate with the highest priority
• Switch off: The aggregate in operation with the lowest priority
Priority controlled switching is active as soon as different priorities are parameterized and the
configured limit time is zero.

Switching taking the operating hours into account

• Switch on: The released aggregate with the shortest total runtime
• Switch off: The aggregate in operation with the longest total runtime
This operating mode is active when the "Switch by time" function is enabled and applies only
to those aggregates that have the same priority.

Switching taking the cycle time into account

• Switch on: The released aggregate with the shortest cycle time
• Switch off: The aggregate in operation with the longest total runtime
This operating mode is active when the "Switch by time" function is disabled and applies only
to those aggregates that have the same priority.

Switch to the next aggregate

You have the option to switch to the next aggregate manually using the button on the faceplate
(HMI.data.switchCommandManOp) or internally (input: switchPositiveImpulse). This function
works only if the aggregates have the same priority.

Reset
In the event of an error message, the "Reset" button (HMI.data.Reset) on the faceplate or the
"HMI.data.reset" input is available. The command to start or stop the aggregate is available, but
not the feedback from the aggregate.

6.6.2 PIDCtrl

6.6.2.1 LCFL_PIDCtrl – Description of function

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 2017
Family: Control

Description
The "LCFL_PIDCtrl" function block supplies information for a continuous PID controller, which
processes the typical values (process value, setpoint, manipulated variable) accordingly.
When the source mode is changed, an internal or external setpoint can be used. In "Manual"
mode, the manipulated variable "HMI.mtpData.MV" is specified by the operator using the
manual variables for manipulated values "HMI.mtpData.MVMan".
In automatic mode, the control algorithm is effective and can implement a manual
setpoint specification or cascade switching according to the internal or external setpoint.
The minimum and maximum variables are used to display limits for setpoints and the
manipulated variable. The control algorithm can be used with the three variables of
proportional parameters "HMI.mtpData.P", integration parameters "HMI.mtpData.Ti" and
derivation parameters "HMI.mtpData.Td". To access these values, we use PID Compact.

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
• Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
• Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
Under function block input/output parameter, connect a tag that is derived from the PLC data
type "LCFL_typeConfigPIDCtrl".
Minimum and maximum values as well as units are set in this PLC data type. You can enable
or disable the error output of the PID controller.

Operation mode
The operating mode is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_OperationMode".
You can find more information at LCFL_OperationMode – Description of function (Page 62).
The operator mode is active when the PLC is started. The following actions are possible in the
individual operating modes:

Operation mode Actions

Offline No operation is possible in offline mode.
Operator If the mode is set to "Operator" (stateOperator = 1), the operator can
specify a manual output value in the parameter "ManualValue"
(HMI.mtpData.MVMan).
Automatic If the mode is set to "Automatic" (stateAutomatic = 1), PID Compact
switches to automatic mode and the manipulated value is controlled via
the input and the setpoints.

Source mode
The source mode is applied from the subfunction LCFL_SourceMode.
You can find more information at LCFL_SourceMode – Description of function (Page 69).
Depending on the source mode, the value at the output "valueOut" is either set or reset:
• "Manual" source mode
Specification of the binary value via faceplate (HMI.mtpData.SPMan)
• "Internal" source mode
Specification of the binary value via an interconnection at the "setpointInternal" input.
The manual value is tracked by the internal value to achieve a smooth switchover from the
internal to the manual value.

PID Compact
PID Compact provides a PID controller with integrated tuning for actuators with proportional
effect. You change the proportional parameter "HMI.mtpData.P", integration parameter
"HMI.mtpData.Ti" and derivation parameter "HMI.mtpData.Td" in the PLC data type
"LCFL_typeConfigPIDCtrl" or in the settings view in the faceplate. The parameters "scaleMin" and
"scaleMax" are the scaling limits for the process value and the setpoint. If the process value or
setpoint falls outside these limits, an error occurs. You can change the substitute value and the
disturbance value at the inputs. Under error conditions, PID Compact uses a substitute output
value that is defined at input "substitudeOutputValue". The substitute output value must lie
within the limits of the manipulated value.
The following modes are possible:
• Offline
• Operator
• Automatic
• Substitute output value with error monitoring
You can find detailed information in the documentation of the PID Compact.

Version of the PID_Compact instruction

With the release of the S7-1500 CPU with firmware FW >= 3.0 and the S7-1500 Software
Controller with firmware FW >= 30.0, the version of the PID_Compact instruction has been
increased.
To prevent a compilation error, set the version of the PID_Compact instruction in the TIA
Portal project to V2.4 for CFL 3.1 (and earlier versions).

Description
The "Polyline16" function block assigns the input values to the output values. "Polyline16" is
defined as a trend that consists of up to 16 breakpoints. These breakpoints can be specified via
HMI by the coordinates HMI.data.Points[0…15].x; y and by the number of breakpoints used
HMI.data.NumberOfUsedPoints (also available in the configuration data).
The main rules for the configuration are:
• The x coordinates must be defined as Points[i].x < Points[i+1].x.
• The number of breakpoints used must be in the range of 2 ... 16.
The configuration contains the following:
• errorMode that defines the substitute output value after an error (0 = input, 1 = substitute
output, 2 = last valid output value).
• outOfRangeMode to select the output value if the input value is outside of the defined x
values (0 = Maintain slope; 1 = y value of the first/last breakpoint).
The units for the input value (inputValueUnit) and the manipulated value
(manipulatedValueUnit) are also defined in the configuration.
If the mode is set to “Operator” (stateOperator = 1), the operator can use the
HMI.data.MVMan signal to specify the manipulated value.
If the mode is set to "Automatic" (stateAutomatic = 1), polyline calculation takes place. The
output value (manipulatedValue) is calculated based on the input value (inputValue) and
the configuration. The source of the output/input value can be manual (operation via HMI:
HMI.data.IVMan) or internal (input: inputValueInternal).

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
• Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
• Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
The input/output configuration must be connected to a structure of the type
LCFL_typeConfigPolyline16.

Source mode
The source mode is applied from the subfunction LCFL_SourceMode.
You can find more information at LCFL_SourceMode – Description of function (Page 69).
Depending on the source mode, the value at the output "valueOut" is either set or reset:
• "Manual" source mode
Specification of the binary value via faceplate (HMI.data.IVMan)
• "Internal" source mode
Specification of the binary value via an interconnection at the "inputValueInternal" input.
The manual value is tracked by the internal value to achieve a smooth switchover from the
internal to the manual value.

Operation mode
The operating mode is applied from the subfunction "LCFL_OperationMode".
You can find more information at LCFL_OperationMode – Description of function (Page 62).
The operator mode is active when the PLC is started. The following actions are possible in the
individual operating modes:

Operation mode Actions

Off (offline) No operation is possible in offline mode. The output value is zero, calcu‐
lation is suspended.
Operator If the mode is set to "Operator" (stateOperator = 1), the operator can
specify the manipulated value manipulateValue using the "ManualVal‐
ue" parameter (HMI.mtpData.MVMan).
Automatic In "Automatic" mode (stateAutomatic = 1), the control algorithm is active
and the manipulated value is calculated.

Polyline
Polylinie V1.0 is an auxiliary function integrated in TIA Portal that is used for polyline calculation.
The polyline instruction assigns the "Input" input value to the "Output” output value using a
characteristic trend. This trend is defined as a polyline with a maximum of 50 breakpoints
(LCFL_Polyline16 has a limit of up to 16 breakpoints).
Linear interpolation takes place between the breakpoints. You can adapt the polyline to the
desired characteristic curve by using the quantity and configuration of the breakpoints. The
polyline instruction can be used, for example, to linearize non-linear properties of sensors or
actuators. The polyline calculates the output value at the "Output" parameter for the input
value at the "Input" parameter that is between the point values x[i] and x[i+1] with a linear
interpolation.
You can find more information in the TIA Portal help.

Message exchange
LCFL_Polyline16 has the following messages:

6.6.4 TimeSwitch8

6.6.4.1 LCFL_TimeSwitch8– Description of function

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 2024
Family: Control

Description
The time configuration can be set in the PLC for 8 channels, saved
in Configuration(:LCFL_typeConfigTimeSwitch8).settings[0..7].
The configuration can also be set on the HMI: HMI.data.Settings[0..7].
There are different cycle types available, so that the behavior of the time switch channels can
be determined: 1..7 (Sun..Sat), 8 (Daily), 9 (Weekdays), 10 (Weekends), 11 (Hourly), 12 (Every
minute).
The configuration also contains the start time for determining the start of each cycle
and the duration for determining the end time of the active period. There is an
option for manually overriding the output channels, which sets the output value to
"on" or "off", independently of the time configuration of the channel. The source of the
override can be manual (output: overrideSourceManualActive) or internal (output:
overrideSourceInternalActive).

Note
The function internally uses the system function RD_LOC_T to read the local time of the PLC.
Therefore, for correct functioning, it is necessary that the local time of the PLC is set correctly.

Note
The time value is always compared with the local time of the PLC and, therefore, the time
parameters must be specified as local time in the configuration.

Note
Daylight saving time can have an effect on the calculation of the time window in a time switch
module, especially when daylight saving is switched on or off. Daylight saving time changes can
change the local time in the PLC, resulting in variations in the length of a day and possibly having
an effect on the timing of the events planned by the TimeSwitch.

Configuration
The block must be called in a cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767) or in a cyclic
interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767).

The input/output configuration must be connected to a structure of the type

LCFL_typeConfigTimeSwitch8. Here, you can define the instance names and the time
configuration of the timer switch channels: cycle type, start time, duration.

Features of the start

The function block switches to manual mode when the PLC is started and the block is activated.

Configuration of the timer

For channels with configured cycle types, the time window limits are calculated and the outputs
are edited based on these configurations.
The configuration that is saved in
configuration(:LCFL_typeConfigTimeSwitch8).settings[0..7].Array 0
corresponds to output channel 1 and so on. The settings contain the following parameters:

Cycle type
settings[0..7].cycleType : USint
There are different cycle types available, so that the behavior of the TimeSwitch channels can
be defined, i.e. whether they carry out activation of the output on certain days, at certain
times or at regular intervals during the day.
• 0 : Disabled (Permanently off)
Certain weekdays: Users can specify on which days of the week the output of the time switch
channel is to be activated, so that targeted planning based on weekly routines or operating
plans is possible.
• 1: Sunday
• 2: Monday
• 3: Tuesday
• 4: Wednesday
• 5: Thursday
• 6: Friday
• 7: Saturday
Daily activation: With options such as "Daily", the output of the time switch channel can be
activated or deactivated every day to allow continuous operation or scheduled pauses.
• 8: Daily
Weekdays or weekends: Users can differentiate between weekdays and weekends and thus
program different behavior on the basis of weekdays and weekend schedules.
• 9: Weekdays (Monday..Friday)
• 10: Weekend days (Saturday, Sunday)

Hourly or minute-by-minute intervals: For applications that require exact measurement of

time, the user can configure the time switch channel in such a way that it is activated or
deactivated at regular hourly or minute-by-minute intervals distributed across the day.
• 11: Hourly
• 12: Every minute

Start time
settings[0..7].timeOn : Time_Of_Day
The start time serves as a reference point for determining the start time of every cycle.

Duration
settings[0..7].duration : Time_Of_Day
Offset from the start time to determine the end time of the active period.

Override
If an override is active for a channel, the output value is set independently of the channel
configuration.

Source mode for the override (manual and internal)

The source of the override can be manual (operation through the HMI:
HMI.data.OvrEnableBitsMan and HMI.data.OvrValueBitsMan)
or internal (input: overrideEnableBitsInternal and
overrideValueBitsInternal).
The source mode is managed by the subfunction LCFL_SourceMode.
The module supports the following sources:
• Manual
If the source is "manual", the control of the override can be determined via a faceplate from
the HMI (HMI.data.OvrEnableBitsMan and HMI.data.OvrValueBitsMan).
• Internal
If the source is "internal", the control of the override can be defined by means of an
interconnection (input: overrideEnableBitsInternal
and overrideValueBitsInternal).

Message exchange
LCFL_TimeSwitch8 has the following messages:

Description
SetCrv16 generates an output value that follows a configurable profile comprising up to 16
breakpoints.
These breakpoints can be specified via HMI by the coordinates HMI.data.Points[0…15] and
by the number of breakpoints used HMI.data.NumberOfUsedPoints (also available in the
configuration data).
Each breakpoint of this profile has a target value (Value) and a time value (Time). When
the profile is executed, the target value of the current breakpoint is reached within the time
value.
The main rules for the configuration are:
• The number of breakpoints used must be in the range of 1 to 16.
• The time value must be equal to or greater than 0.0.

SIMATIC Control Function Library

The configuration contains the following:

• errorMode, which defines the substitute output value after an error (0 = start value; 1 =
substitute output; 2 = last valid output value; 3: 0.0).
• startMode to select the start behavior (0 = start value; 1 = substitute output; 2 = start from
last output value; 3 = 0.0; 4 = continue from last output value)
• stopMode to select the stop behavior (0 = Start value; 1 = substitute output; 2 = last valid
output value; 3 = 0.0; 4 = cyclic operation).
The unit for the manipulated value (manipulatedValueUnit) is also specified in the
configuration.
When the mode is set to "Operator" (stateOperator = 1), the operator can use the
signals HMI.data.ExecOp, HMI.data.AbortOp, HMI.data.HoldOnOp, HMI.data.HoldOffOp and
HMI.data.NextOp to control the profile execution.
If the mode is set to Automatic (stateAutomatic = 1), the inputs for execute, abort, hold and
next function block can be used.

Configuration
Call the function block in one of the following organization blocks:
- Cyclic organization block (OB1 or OB123 to OB32767)
- Cyclic interrupt organization block (OB30 to OB38 or OB123 to OB32767)
The input/output configuration must be connected to a structure of the type

a time-dependent basis. Each breakpoint of this profile has a target value and a time value.
When the profile is executed, the target value of the current breakpoint is reached within
the time value. You can configure the profile in the static structure UserData. It contains the
following elements:
• NumberOfUsedPoints: Number of breakpoints used for the profile.
• StartValue: Optional output value when profile execution is started, stopped or ended.
• Points: The array with 50 elements (LCFL_SetCrv16 has a limit of up to 16 breakpoints)
contains value pairings of the points:
– Point[i].Value: The output value is gradually changed to this value as long as the
breakpoint is active and reaches this value within the time.
– Point[i].Time: This value defines the duration of the breakpoint in seconds.
The output value is calculated by interpolating between the current breakpoint and the
preceding breakpoint according to the following formula

i Value of the CurrentPoint parameter

Based on the elapsed time, it is determined which points from the profile are currently being
used to calculate the start value.

Introduction
To use and configure function blocks from the Control Function Library in a "SIMATIC S7-1500",
instantiate the function blocks from the corresponding hardware family (example folder: LCFL/
Drives/MonAnaDrv/SIMATIC S7-1500/PLC hardware) in an organization block. To output
messages using ProDiag in runtime, assign a ProDiag function block to the instance data blocks.

Requirement
• A PLC from the "SIMATIC S7-1500/PLC hardware" hardware family has been created.
• An organization block exists and is open (e.g. OB1).
• A ProDiag function block is created if you want to use alarms that are managed using ProDiag.

Procedure
1. Drag-and-drop the desired function block from the project library from the "SIMATIC
S7-1500/PLC hardware" folder into the network of the organization block.
The "Call options" dialog opens.
2. If you want to use messages managed by means of ProDiag, select the created ProDiag
function block under "ProDiag-FB".
3. Click "OK".

Result
• An instance data block of the function block used was created in the "Program blocks" folder.
• The "LCFL" folder with the function block used and its internal functions (common blocks)
from the same "SIMATIC S7-1500/PLC hardware" hardware family was created in the
"Program blocks" folder.
• The "LCFL" folder with the PLC data types of the function block used from the same "SIMATIC
S7-1500" hardware family was created in the "PLC data types" folder.

Note
The function blocks of the hardware family "SIMATIC S7-1500/PLC hardware" and "SIMATIC
S7-1500/PLC software" use the same PLC data types and for this reason can be found under the
folder "SIMATIC S7-1500".

Visualization over faceplates 9
Faceplates are user-defined groups of display and operating objects that are stored, managed
and edited in the project library in a versioned manner. By using faceplates, the configured
function blocks can be visualized by using the PLC data types in the faceplate type (Page 491).
You can find a detailed description of faceplates in the WinCC Unified manual under
"Visualizing processes > Configuring screens > Configuring faceplates".

9.1.1.1 Faceplate "LCFL_LockView4Symbol"

Introduction
For visualization of the function block "LCFL_LockView4", you can use the faceplate
"LCFL_LockView4Symbol". The interface of the program block "LCFL_LockView4" and of the
faceplate "LCFL_LockView4Symbol" is the PLC data type "LCFL_typeMTPLockView4Siemens".
You can find more information at LCFL_typeMTPLockView4Siemens (Page 168)

Clicking "LCFL_LockView4Symbol" opens the "LCFL_LockView4Basic" faceplate, which

contains all additional faceplates of the function block. These faceplates are shown as views
in runtime.
When you click the icon in runtime, the "LCFL_LockView4Home" monitoring view is displayed
as the first view. Navigate to the different views in the opened screen:

View Description

9.2.2.2 "LCFL_MonAnaVlvHome1" view

Introduction
The "LCFL_MonAnaVlvHome" view is a monitoring view that is used to display basic information.
You also have the option to change the operating mode and open or close the valve.
To operate the view, you need at least one operator authorization, such as HMI Operator. You
can find more information in the TIA Portal help.
In addition, enable the OS level. You can find more information at LCFL_OSLevel –
Description of function (Page 65).

Area Description
Controllers This area contains buttons that can be enabled with a click:
• Operating mode (Offline / Operator / Automatic)
• Valve action (open / close)
• Reset error
Conditions This area contains the following information:
• Permit
The operation of the faceplate is possible / not possible.
• Interlock
The status change of the valve is possible / not possible.
• Protect
The status change of the valve is possible / not possible. A reset is
required to enable a status change once again.

① Feedback value of the position in the form of an arc diagram

The scaling values "HMI.mtpData.PosSclMin" and "HMI.mtpData.PosSclMax" determine the
range of the gauge. When the position feedback value is higher than "HMI.mtpData.PosMax" or
lower than "HMI.mtpData.PosMin", the color of the gauge changes to red.

② Current state of the valve

The current state of the valve of the faceplate "LCFL_MonAnaVlvSymbol" is shown here once
again.
You can find information under Faceplate "LCFL_MonAnaVlvSymbol" (Page 275).

Introduction
In the "LCFL_Aggr8Settings1" view, you have the option to set different times for the aggregates.
To operate the view, you need at least one operator authorization, such as HMI Operator. You
can find more information in the TIA Portal help.
In addition, enable the OS level. You can find more information at LCFL_OSLevel –
Description of function (Page 65).

Note
Some time settings may lead to inconsistencies in the correct execution of the selected
operating mode. To avoid this, please note the following:
• If you are using a limit time, make sure that the delay time is sufficiently less than the limit.
In this way, the requested aggregates can be switched on and off in time.
• Set the delay time so that the logic can receive the running status signal of the aggregates
during the delay time. Otherwise, an error signal will be generated.
• Ensure that the aggregates can be switched off according to the limit time as a result of the
set time configuration. Otherwise, the block stops the aggregates with an error.
• If the limit time is used (limit time is not 0), the configured priorities must be the same.

Introduction
For the visualization in runtime and the operator authorization, use the following faceplate
interface:

Property Description
moduleData The instance data of the PLC data type "LCFL_typeMTPSiemens" of a
function block are connected.
OSLevelData To enable operator authorization, the internal HMI tag "LCFL_OSLe‐
vel" is connected from the tag list "LCFL_InternalTags".
OSLevel In order for a text to be output for the tag "LCFL_OSLevel", the text list
"LCFL_OSLevel" is connected.
unit The text list "LCFL_Unit" is connected so that the integer value can be
resolved or displayed using the text list. This property is only available
if the function block has a unit.
You can find more information at Units of measurement (Page 14).

Visualization over faceplates
9.6 Interface of the symbol faceplate.

Property Description
format Entering "{F3}", for example, specifies that analog values are output
with three decimal places (x.xxx). If nothing is specified, the analog
values are always displayed with two decimal places (x.xx). "F" stands
for "float".
activeColorEnabled This color is used, for example, for the "Off" control elements. In ad‐
dition, this color is used for the header bar and for active navigation
elements of the opened screen.
The default value is blue (0, 0, 255).
activeColorDisabled This color is used e.g. for the "Not Off" control elements (no switch‐
over triggered by operator or automatic mode)
The default value is blue (0, 0, 255).
inactiveColor This color is used e.g. for the "Off" control elements (no operator
authorization) In addition, this color is used for inactive navigation
elements of the opened screen.
The default value is blue (0, 0, 255).
cycleTypes The text list "LCFL_TimeSwitchCycleTypes" is connected so that the
integer value can be resolved or displayed using the text list.
The property is only available for LCFL_TimeSwitch8.

Requirement
• The "WinCC Unified PC RT" HMI device has been created.
• An image has been created.
• A symbolic I/O field is created and linked to the tag "LCFL_OSLevel" and the text list
"LCFL_OSLevel".
You can find more information at LCFL_OSLevel – Description of function (Page 65).

Creating an interface from the PLC to HMI

1. In the area of the HMI device under "HMI tags", click "Add new tag table".
A new tag table is created.
2. Open the new tag table.
3. Drag-and-drop the "HMI" structure from the instance data block into the tag table from the
PLC area under "Program blocks". Select only the data block and select the "HMI" tag from the
detail view.
The entry "<Name of the instance data block>_HMI" with the associated PLC data type
"LCFL_typeMTPSiemens" is created.

Using faceplates and supplying with interfaces

1. Open your configured screen.
2. From the project library, drag and drop the associated faceplate into the screen, for example,
"LCFL_MonAnaDrvSymbol".
3. In the Inspector window under "Properties", go to "Properties > Miscellaneous > Interface".
4. Select the created entry of the tag table under "moduleData" in the "Static value" column.

5. Under "OSLevelData" in the "Static value" column, select the "LCFL_OSLevel" tag from the
"LCFL_InternalTags" tag list.
6. Select the "LCFL_OSLevel" text list under "OSLevel" in the "Static value" column.
7. If the function block has a unit, select the text list "LCFL_Unit" in the "Static value" column
under "unit".
8. If necessary, change the "format" property for the configuration of the decimal places.
9. Change the colors for display in runtime.
Suggestion for an optimal color configuration:
– activeColorEnabled (0, 161, 209)
– inactiveColor (205, 211, 215)
– activeColorDisabled (181, 190, 197)

Defining the unit of measurement

The units of measurement are defined in the global data block. You can find more information
at Interconnecting the LCFL instance data block with the PLC data type "Config" (Page 227).
1. Double-click the global data block.
2. Under the tags that end with "Unit", enter the number of the unit in the "Default value"
column.

9.7 Automatic visualization with SiVArc

Introduction
With the installation of the option package SiVArc (SIMATIC Visualization Architect) you can have
the visualization generated automatically. Rules define the assignment between the control
program and the visualization elements. When executing these rules, SiVArc analyzes the
control program and automatically generates the visualization.

Requirement
• The master copies are copied from the global library to the project library.
• The screen rules are copied from the global library in your project under "Common data >
SiVArc > Screen rules".
• The copy rules are copied from the global library in your project under "Common data >
SiVArc > Copy rules".
• If you use discrete alarms instead of ProDiag: The alarm rules are copied from the global
library in your project under "Common data > SiVArc > Alarm rules".
