Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Process Control Station and Processor Unit

Process control station is a basic unit of GE Energy’s Distributed Control System
(DCS), OC6000e. Apart from self-diagnostic capability and redundancy, it has
functions of data acquisition, data processing, loop control and communication
etc.
Distributed Processing Unit, DPU for short, is the core component of process
control station. The main functions of DPU include I/O module control, alarm
checking, close-loop control and process calculation etc.
1.1.1 Node Number

Generally, one process control station has two redundant DPUs. OC 6000e system
recommend: the ranges of DPU node number are 1~70, 101~170 and 201~250.
Among them, 1~50, 101~150, 201~250, are TMR DPUs node ranges, for example,
1/101/201 are three TMR DPUs; 51~70, 151~170 are dual redundancy DPUs node
ranges, for example, 51/151 are two dual redundancy DPUs. The ranges of TMR
DPU also can be used as dual redundancy DPUs.
Node number of HMI station is generally within 71~100 and 171~200.
1.1.2 DPU Operating State

DPU has four main states in operation: active, standby, locking and initial state.
When a pair of redundant DPUs is operating normally, one of them is in active
state, while the other is in standby state. DPU software will switch automatically
according to the CPU state, I/O state and network state, so that standby DPU can
replace the active DPU immediately when the active DPU is in malfunction. In
addition, engineer can manually switch DPU with SystCFG tool.
When a DPU just starts up, it is in initial state. It is indicated by yellow flag in
Diagnostic screen. After it finished starting up, the DPU should be active state or
standby state. If the configuration algorithm in the standby DPU is different from
the active DPU, the standby DPU will be in initial state and the active DPU will be in
locking state. If the DPU has no configuration file, the standby DPU will be in initial
state. The DPU configuration file should be downloaded, or the standby DPU
should be synchronized with the active DPU in order to eliminate the initial state.
More information about DPU states please refers to OC 6000e HMI Software
Manual (GEK-114904) chapter 5.
1.1.3 DPU Configuration Information

User can configure, modify and on-line debug DPU in ENG station.
OC 6000e provides control algorithm language, which complies with IEC1131-3
standard and strengthens in graphic configuration and debugging language with
GEK-114906 OC6000e Software Function Block Manual 1

function blocks as basic elements, thus making configuration and debugging very
easy and convenient. OC 6000e provides all kinds of commonly used function
blocks. User also can create their own special function blocks using OC 6000e
tools.
Internal DPU data can be divided into DPU general description, page and function
block object.
General description includes overview of DPU information and all relevant pages.
Each page object has an appointed execution period. While function block object
can only exist in page, function blocks in same page have same calculation period.
Pages and function blocks are named individually by page number and function
block number; they also have order number, which specifies their execution
sequence in DPU. The page with smaller order number will be executed prior to the
page with bigger order number. In the same page, function block with smaller
order number will be executed prior to the one with bigger order number.
Commonly, page number, block number and order number are assigned
automatically during configuration process. User can change the order number of
page and function block with configuration tools, to adjust execution sequence.
But user cannot change page number or function block number online; they only
can be changed offline.
1.2 DPU Configuration Process

SystCFG is a tool for system and controller logic configuration. In ENG station, user
can run this software only after login MPC with ENG level or higher.
SystCFG provides two configuration modes: offline and online.
In offline mode, user can open a DPU configuration file in ENG station to edit page
and logic, set up I/O and parameters, then save this file to ENG station hard disk.
In online configuration mode, user must first link and login the corresponding DPU
station and get the authorization, then they can read and modify the configuration
data of DPU programs. User can download files created offline to DPU station, and
can also upload the configuration data from the operating DPU to the ENG station
to modify and debug. User can also modify, delete and insert the control Pages
and the function blocks online. And meanwhile, user can check the running data in
DPU and debug them online. User should logout at the end of the operation.
Specific information of SystCFG refers to OC 6000e Engineer Software Manual
(GEK-114905) chapter 2.
1.3 DPU Configuration File

Each process control station corresponds to a DPU configuration file. This DPU file
is stored in ENG station in text format.
User can create a new configuration file in SystCFG, or upload configuration from
online DPU to save as configuration file and modify it offline.
1.4 Page
The Page is commonly represented by “Pg” or “P”.
Page is a basic object in DPU configuration software. Function blocks must exist in
page.

Page includes properties such as: page number, order number, page status, page
size, execution period, page description, etc. Function block instances are also
included in page instance.
The Page state describes the working status of the control Page. For example,
whether Page has been disabled or not. In addition, the Page state can only be
read and modified online.
The execution period represents how often the control Page is to be computed.
The period is usually set as 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 200ms, 480ms, 1s, 2s, 5s,
10s, 15s, 20s, 25s, 30s, 60s, 600s and 0. The 0 selection represents that this page
is not to be computed periodically, and can be executed according to the
special blocks defined by user.
The order number represents the execution priority of the Page. The control
Pages are executed periodically by the order of the order numbers. The smaller
the order number, the higher the execution priority.
The size number represents how big the edit area is. The size number is smaller,
and then the size is bigger.
The description of the Page records the data of the control Page, such as
functions and explanations of this Page and so on, which has nothing to do with
the real-time control.
1.5 Function Blocks

The function blocks are commonly represented by “FB” or “B”.
Function block is a basic element of DPU configuration. OC 6000e pre-defines
function blocks with many kinds of types and functions, for user’s convenience.
Function blocks are a group of sub-programs, which comply with IEC61131-3
standard. When a function block is called, the system will run this sub-program,
and send operation result to the corresponding storage unit of the output that the
connected block could reach.
User definition in function blocks includes three parts: output, input and
parameters. When function block is instantiated, it will include block number, order
number, state and intermediate calculation value. The system seals all these data
together as an object.
In the same page, function block with smallest order number will be executed first.
This manual will introduce in detail the functions and setup method of all kinds of
function blocks.
1.5.1 Function Block Appearance
1.5.1.1 Control Algorithm Function Block

Algorithm block is rectangle generally, as shown in Figure 1.5-1. ① is function
block name; ② is block number and order number in configuration page; ③ is
input signal of block. When input signal comes from other function block, this part
is connecting line or a pin indication (when input line is concealed); if it is an instant
number, that means the number is set inside this function block; ④ is function
block output signal. Spare output pin can be hidden; ⑤ is input signal name or
static parameter of this block.

Function block’s I/O pin can connect to other blocks via lines for the transfer of
point value or state.
Figure 1.5-1 Calculation algorithm block appearance
1.5.1.2 I/O Configuration

There are four kinds of I/O configuration types: Distributed I/O configuration based
on module, I/O channel configuration, network I/O and page I/O configuration.
Distributed I/O configuration
Distributed I/O configuration is based on I/O module. Any supported distributed I/O
module can be added, deleted, configured and diagnosed. Every module in the
system has parameters, variables, inputs and outputs need to be configured.
Details see the SystCFG tool manual.
I/O channel configuration
I/O channel function block defines a corresponding relationship between a
variable inside DPU and hardware channel. I/O channel number and conversion
type are indicated below the symbol. As hardware I/O block can broadcast in
network, which can be acquired through other DPUs and HMI stations, point
names connecting to network are shown in symbols, as shown in Table 1.5-1. The
I/O channel configuration is mainly used in OC 4000 system or communication
based on VDPU or other non-standard IO system, such as ETS.
Table 1.5-1 Hardware I/O block
Symbol Name Function description
XAI Analog input block
XPI Pulse input block
XDI Digital input block
XDO Digital output block
XAO Analog output block
Network I/O block

Network I/O block defines the corresponding relationship between a variable
inside DPU and global point which can be broadcast in network and acquired by
other DPUs and HMI stations, as shown in Table 1.5-2. The letters inside the block
shows the point name that is broadcasted to network; Null means there is no point
in this block.

Table 1.5-2 Network I/O block
XNetAI Analog value input block, network AI
XNetAO Analog value output block, network AO
XNetDI Digital value input block, network DI
XNetDO Digital value output block, network DO
Page I/O block

Page I/O block defines the corresponding relationship of variables between pages
inside DPU. In Table 1.5-3, input block shows page number (upper) and block
number (lower) of connected signal, output block shows block number in
configuration page. Page input block can refer to not only page output block, but
all network I/O block and hardware I/O block, while signal type (analog/digital)
must be consistent.
When Page input block refers to hardware I/O point or network I/O point, the left
side of symbol shows point name. When the point does not exist, point name will
be shown as RefNotExist.

XPgAO Analog output block between pages
XPgDI Digital input block between pages
XPgDO Digital value block between pages
1.5.1.3 Text block

The appearance of Text block is string. User can double click it to edit.
1.5.2 Data Type

There are three types of data transferred between function blocks: boolean (1 byte),
float (IEEE standard 4 bytes) and long integer (4 bytes). But parameter,
intermediate variable and state variable will not among them. Float point and long
integer are called analog in general, they can be mutually transferred and function
block can convert them automatically. But user needs to pay attention to precision
loss during conversion. Boolean value can only be transferred to boolean variable.
When function block is calculating, output variable, state variable and
intermediate variable will be updated, and other function block can access output
variable. Through special function block TQ the user can get the state variable
indirectly (transfer to n boolean values), but no intermediate variable. Output
variable, state variable and intermediate variable cannot be modified by other

function blocks; only the function block itself can modify these variables by
calculation.
The output variable can be any one of the three types: the float variable, the long
integer variable and the boolean variable. The state variable is contained in one
word, which records whether this block is in enabled state or disabled state (the
function blocks will not be executed if they are in disabled state), whether this
block has any bad input signals that make this block’s output signals unreliable,
whether the input signals is overtime (such as network blocks and I/O blocks). The
intermediate variables can be any data type permitted and are irrelevant to user,
and they only record the running states of the function blocks.
1.5.3 Order Number

Order number of blocks is a very important parameter for OC 6000e DPU graphic
configuration software. Each page and block of DPU configuration has order
number, which represents its execution order in DPU. DPU software calculates
them one by one according to their order number. The page or block with smaller
number is usually executed prior to that with bigger number. And if the order
number is of same, the page or block with smaller number will be executed first.
The order number of the page or block is given initially according to the order of
their creation. The user can also modify their order number manually by SystCFG
tools. When off line, the blocks can also be rearranged automatically by their
position in the page from the left to the right.
The improper setup of the order number will not only influence the real-time
character of the logical operation but also cause error sometimes. For example:
There are three identical lines of logic composed by block Add. The order number
of block 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 and block 1, 14, 13, 12, 11, 15 increases along signal
flow direction, and the order number of block 1, 9 and 6, 10 also increases along
signal flow direction. While the order number of block 9, 8, 7, 6 decreases along
signal flow direction. Compare the calculation result of these three lines of logic by
referring to Figure.1.5-2:
Figure 1.5-2 Different calculation sequences

Block 1 is the adder and adds 10 each time. It transfers the data to block 2, 9, and
14 respectively.

Block 2 again transfers the data to block 3, 4, and 5 one by one. Because their
order numbers increase along the signal flow direction, block 1 just transfers the
same data to block 2, 3, 4, 5 within this execution cycle.
Block 9 similarly transfers the data to block 8, 7, 6 one after another. Because their
order numbers decrease along the signal flow direction, the latter block is firstly
executed while the former one has not been updated and remains the data of the
previous cycle. And therefore, block 9 has the current new data, block 8 has the
data of the previous cycle, block 7 remains the data of the second previous cycle
and block 6 remains the data of the third previous cycle. So from block 10 the user
can see that the output of block 5 is bigger than that of block 6 by 30, which
matches the difference of three cycles.
Block 14 transfers the data to block 13, 12, 11 one after another, which is similar to
blocks 9, 8, 7, 6. Because their order numbers increase along the signal flow
direction similar to blocks 2, 3, 4, 5, the output of block 11 is identical to that of
block 5. And it can be demonstrated by the output 0 of block 15.
From the case above, we can see that although the logic graph is the same, the
result is rather different. It’s simply because the setting of order number is different,
which causes blocks in the same page to calculate input signals in different cycles.
In order to ensure the accuracy of configuration result and high-efficiency of the
configuration, the user should abide by the following rules:
1) First execute input signal (AI, DI) page, then execute logic operation page, and at
last execute output signal (AO, DO) page
2) In the same page, the order number increases along the signal flow direction
from the left to the right
3) In some special cases, the logic in some loops should be compared with that in
the previous cycle to decide its instant value. At this situation, the user should set
its input order number within the previous cycle.
Besides, the newly added block is always executed at last during modification in
the default case. When the user deletes one block by accident and then adds a
new one to replace it, its order number has also changed so that it will be the last
one to be executed. So the user should pay attention to the modification case like
that.
1.5.4 Function block property

The function block property sheet is shown as Figure 1.5-3.

Figure 1.5-3 Function block property
User can get the information of the block including function description, block
number, order number, working status, quality transfer mode and output save
mode.
Each function block has one status word, which describes the running state of this
block. The states of the function blocks can be transferred in a customized way.
Except for some special function blocks, all other blocks can be defined as
No-transfer, And-transfer and Or-transfer by selection list. For example one
function block has three input ports, so the quality state of the output ports of this
block is decided by the quality state of the input ports and the quality-transfer
mode defined by the user. If some input ports of the function block are null, they
will not take part in the quality-transfer. The quality-transfer mode is defined in a
word, 0 means No-transfer, 1 means Or-transfer, 2 means And-transfer and the
default selection is No-transfer.
Output save mode of function block is also defined in list selection. There are two
modes – Save and Not Save, Default is Not Save. Save Output means DPU save
this block output at set intervals; when DPU restarts, its output keeps consistent
with previously saved state before DPU stop running. Generally, this function is
only available to accumulation value.
1.5.5 Input, Output and Parameter

When the function blocks are being initiated, the output value, the running state
and the intermediate variables are all set to initial value. Among them，the initial
value of output can be defined by user.
The running mode and range of the function blocks are defined by the parameters.
The parameters can be different data types. During configuration and online
modification, user can modify the value of the parameters. Once the parameters
are set, they will not change, which means the value of the parameters is set by
user and cannot be changed by the blocks themselves. The parameter setting
sheet is shown as Figure 1.5-4.

Figure 1.5-4 Function block parameter
The definition of the input of a function block can be a pointer, or a constant. We
call it “definition” because it is set by user and cannot be changed when
computing. If it is defined as a pointer, it points to the output of other blocks or its
own, and it is indicated in the form of the conjunction of “B” (the function block)
and “I” (the output foot). The data that it points to can only be three type variables:
the float variable, the long integer variable or the BOOLEAN variable. The output
signals of the BOOLEAN type can only be connected to the input for the BOOLEAN
variables. While the output signals of the float type and the long integer type can
only be connected to the input for the float variables or the long integer variables.
If the source and destination of the connection are in the same page, the pointer
can be represented as <B.I>. When <B.I> is <65535,65535>, it means that the input
point is connected to a NULL pointer and there is no data available from this input
point. The mutual reference of signals among Pages must be performed through
special function blocks such as XpgAI and XPgDI. If they are XPgAI function block
or XPgDI function block, the function blocks referred to must be XPgAO, XPgDO or
other I/O blocks.
The input point of the function block can also be defined as a constant, which also
must be one of the float data type, the long integer data type or the Boolean data
type. The input of any function blocks of the OC 6000e also can be set with the
constant. Simply speaking, the input signals can be the pointers, NULL pointers or
the constants. The input setting sheet is shown as Figure 1.5-5.

Figure 1.5-5 Function block input
The output setting sheet is shown as Figure 1.5-6.
Figure 1.5-6 Function block output

In description, NULL, which is in the form of <65535. 65535>, means empty pointer,
Boolean variable that is in the form of 1/0 or T/F means True or False.
Each input or output has a pin description which can be displayed in configuration
page. There are 32 characters maximumly in the pin description. The user can
define pin description of input or output in Input or Output tab page of function
block property window.

1.5.6 Point Config
There is Point Config setting sheet in FB property window for the function block
which can contain point, as shown in Figure 1.5-7.
Figure 1.5-7 Function block point config

There are many settings for the point in this sheet. The detailed information about
the settings please refers to OC 6000e Engineer Software Manual (GEK-114905)

1.5.7 Operator
There is Operator sheet in the FB property window for the function block which
can be operated, as shown in Figure 1.5-8.
Figure 1.5-8 Function block operator

Different function block has different operation commands. User can operate the
function block directly in this interface for logic debugging. User also can create
dynamic link between figure and function block by FigEdit tool to operate it from
HMI screen.

convert) default(Av=0) is 1. Parameter MaxAD, MinAD and R0 do not need
to define, which are used when input signal is IEEE single
precision float point. Because OC 6000e hardware does not
support float point input, this method is generally used in
communication between OC 6000e and third party hardware.

two 16-bit adjacent channels are combined to form a 32-bit
single precision float input, and low byte is prior to high byte, like

To RTD and TC, range limit and corresponding MaxAD and MinAD value must be
defined. If MaxAD=MinAD=0, DPU will adopt default transfer of card while range
limit is only used for over limit alarming, not for transformation; Default
transformation parameter can be set in DPU configuration file.

This block can get an A/D value from a definite I/O address and convert it to Y
which is in the form of the engineering value for other blocks to read from it. If

there is something wrong with the I/O channel, the state of this block turns bad.
The downstream block can inherit the state of it.
For TC sensing, the cold junction compensation should be set. The engineering
value will be added Bias before sending out. The engineering value is limited
between (MinY-range*10%) and (MaxY+ range*10%) for all the conversion types. If
the value reaches or breaks the limit, the state of this block will be set as the
Overflow (OFW) and the quality is bad. After conversion, the block will do the
lowpass again if defined. The transition function of the lowpass is 1/(1+TS), and the
“T” is the parameter “Flt”. After lowpass, the data will be packaged as XNetAO type
and be broadcasted to the UDH.
When the input channel changes from good to bad, the output value will keep the
last available value of the good state.
For RTD or TC sensing, if the parameter Flt<0, the block provides the following
functions and the filter is invalid.
RTD: When Flt=-1, if the input X is connected to the temperature value, the
output is the corresponding RTD resistance;
When Flt=-2, if the input X is connected to the resistance value of the
thermal resistor, the output is the corresponding temperature;
When Flt=-3, if the input X is connected to the temperature value, the

output is the corresponding mV value. According to the linear relationship
between the mV value and the AD value, we can get the corresponding AD
value;

0~10V, 0~5V, 1~5V, 0~10mA, 4~20mA, -5V~+5V, speed value

Understanding for AD value range (maxAD and minAD) of I/O
module is required when set this parameter.
1 Linear extraction K(n) =(AD(n)-MinAD)/(MaxAD-MinAD);
Y(n) = (MaxY-MinY)*SQR(K(n))+MinY; parameter Av is meaningless.
(R0* Range), Y(n)=0;
If extracted value K (n)<0.0, then output Y(n)=0.0, and the status turns
to bad.
2 Float (Direct float Y(n) = Av* float point input; Av is a proportional coefficient,
convert) default (Av=0)=1. Parameter MaxAD, MinAD and R0 do not need
to define, which are used when input signal is IEEE single
precision float point. Because OC 6000e hardware does not
support float point input, this method is generally used in
communication between OC 6000e and third party hardware.
3 Signed word (16bit) Y(n) = Av*AD(n) +BIAS; Av is a proportional coefficient, default
(Av=0) is 1. Parameter MaxAD, MinAD and R0 do not need to
define.
4 Float (L16+H16, Y(n) = Av*f32+BIAS; Av is a proportional coefficient,
Indirect float default(Av=0)is 1. Parameter MaxAD, MinAD and R0 do not need
convert from two to define. Since OC 6000e hardware does not support float
adjacent channels) point input, float point inputs of OC 6000e hardware always use this
type: two 16-bit adjacent channels are combined to form a 32-bit
single precision float input, and low byte is prior to high byte, like
AC sample card.

In the above table, items 10~19, 50~52 are for RTD thermo-resistance conversion,
and items 20-29 are for TC thermocouple conversion.
For RTD and TC, MaxAD and MinAD value must be defined according to
corresponding range limit. If MaxAD=MinAD=0, DPU will adopt the default convert
coefficient parameter of IO card, the range limit is only used for over limit alarm, not
for the conversion. Default convert coefficient parameter is set in DPU configuration
file.

This function block can get two A/D values from two appointed I/O address and
convert them to Y output by the method defined by parameter mode (average, low
selection, high selection). Y output is in the format of the engineering value and can
be read by other function blocks. If two I/O channels fail to work correctly or the
deviation of two signals is larger than parameter IDB, the status of this function
block turns bad. The downstream block can inherit its status. If only one I/O channel
fails, the output will select the other channel’s value and send out an alarm.
For TC sensing, the cold junction compensation is necessary. Bias will be added to
the engineering value. The engineering value is limited between (MinY-range*10%)
and (MaxY+ range*10%) for all the conversion types. If the value reaches or breaks
the limit, the state of this block will be set as the Overflow (OFW) and the quality is
bad. After conversion, a low-pass filter will carry out if defined, the transfer function
of the low-pass is 1/(1+TS), and the “T” is defined by parameter “Flt”. After low-pass
filter, the data will be packaged as XNetAO data type and be broadcasted to the
real-time data network.
When the input channel changes from good state to bad state, the output value will
keep the last available value in the good state.
For RTD or TC sensing, if the parameter Flt<0, the function block provides the
following functions and the filter is invalid.
RTD:
When Flt=-1, if the input X is connected to the temperature, the output will be the
corresponding RTD resistance;
When Flt=-2, if the input X is connected to the resistance of the thermal resistor, the
output is the corresponding temperature;

When Flt=-3, if the input X is connected to the temperature, the output is the
corresponding MV value. According to the linear relationship between the MV value
and the AD value, we can get the corresponding AD value;
When Flt=-4, the input X is empty and the output is the resistance of the real signal,
not the temperature.
TC:
When Flt=-1, if the input X is connected to the temperature, the output is the
corresponding MV value;
When Flt=-2, if the input X is connected to the MV value, the output is the
corresponding temperature;
When Flt=-3, if input X is temperature value, output is AD value of corresponding
signal;
When Flt=-4, if input X is AD value, output is temperature value of corresponding
signal.

function blocks’ reference. And finally, packages the data as XNetDO data type and
broadcasts it to the real-time data network.
If both IO channels work correctly and the value is the same, the value of the
channels will be sent to output D. If both IO channels fail to work correctly or the
value is different between the two IO channels, this function block will turn to bad
status and send out an alarm. The downstream block can inherit its status. If only
one IO channel fails, the output D will select the other IO channel value and send out
an alarm.

If parameter Cvt is set to SOE, the system will read data from SOE queue of these
two channels’ I/O driver in addition to normal DI scan. It ensures that at least one

This is a non-disturbance shift function block. When shift signal Z changes, output
of function block can shift between X1 and X2. When difference between X1 and
X2 is bigger than the setup value, block output can limit changing rate, so as to
realize Non-disturbance or small disturbance in shift.

then Y(n)=X1(n).
If DY1≠0, Z jumps from 0 to 1, that is Y shifts from X2 to X1, at this time Y changing
rate is limited by rate limit DY1, till Y=X1. After that, no matter how big the
changing rate of X1 or X2 is, output Y will not be limited by rate limit DY1, and is
always equal to X1.
If DY≠0, Z jumps from 1 to 0, that is Y shifts from X1 to X2, at this time Y changing
rate is limited by rate limit DY, till Y=X2. After that, no matter how big X2 changing

output Y will change to X1, X2, X3, X4 and X0 with the transfer rate of DY1, DY2,
DY3, DY4 and DY0. The output will be selected based on the priority from Z4 to Z1
(Z4>Z3>Z2>Z1) if more than one input switch is TRUE.

signal is lower than low limit alarm value L, this function block will give out a low
limit alarm signal D2; only when input signal is greater than or equal to L+LDB, D2

Core of fuzzy logic control is rule of fuzzy relationship between controller input and
output. It output fuzzy variable according to inputted fuzzy variable, with some
fuzzy deduce synthesizing rule. Generally, deviation E between fuzzy controller
input and output has some relationship with deviation changing rate EC,
describing by fuzzy control table. Fuzzy control table can be created through fuzzy

statistics, expert assessing etc. Function block of table lookup fuzzy controller can
find fuzzy controller output from defined fuzzy control table.
According to control rule of fuzzy control, since deviation E and deviation changing
rate EC are accurate value, they should be transferred to be fuzzy before
calculating corresponding fuzzy deviation EF and fuzzy deviation changing rate
ECF.
Suppose E changing range is [ EL, EH ] , EC changing range is [ ECL, ECH ] ,
then:
E (6) − E (−6) ( EH + EL)
EF = *[E − ];
EH − EL 2
EC (6) − EC (−6) ( ECH + ECL )
ECF = * [ EC − ].
ECH − ECL 2
According to fuzzed EF and ECF , control output value U = U (i, j ) can be
get in table. Generally there are two methods as the following:
Max membership value method: take U * with max membership value in fuzzy
control table as fuzzy controller output. This method has easy, practical and real
time etc. feature. But this method does not take other points with small
membership value into consideration, and does not distinguish membership
function width, distribution and other control effect on judge. When there are
several elements with max membership value, their average value is output.
Weighted average method: take µ ( µ i ) as weighted coefficient, and calculating
n
*
∑ µ (µ ) * µ i i
formula for output U * is U = i =1
n
.
∑ µ (µ )
i =1
i
Weighted average method is similar with mathematics expecting value in

probability. Weighted coefficient directly affects output feature, user can choose
proper weighted coefficient to improve system responding feature. So this method
is widely used.
Generally, this fuzzy controller model is called 2-input/1-output control model.
When function block is in auto mode, output Y of real function block can be
calculated according to increment type or absolute type processed output U.
Increment type calculation: Y ( n) = Y ( n − 1) + K * [U (n) − U ( n − 1)]
Absolute type calculation: Y ( n) = K * U ( n)

Increment type calculation the changes value at original position each time,
mostly suits for actuators like step engine. Absolute type calculation is called
position type calculation; each time calculates absolute position of actuator, and
suits for digital actuator.
This function block can work in automatic mode or tracking mode which is set by
TS tracking switch. When TS=1, function block is in tracking control method,
function block output is directly consistent with tracked variable, that
is Y ( n) = TR ( n) . At the same time, judged output is forced to be 0, that
is U ( n) = 0 .

For fuzzy control rule, 169 table values should be set up properly. The setting of
gain K will influence control quality, so it should be noted specially. Fuzzy control
generally has saturation feature, which can improve control system stability. But it
is difficult to eliminate residual error of controller completely, so it is often parallel
connected to integrator to form compound controller.

is used to simulate the real process. If the deviation of the process module and the
real processing system is zero (namely the process model equals to the processing
system), the process output is: PV(S)=F(S)SP(S)-[1-F(S)]U(S)
Among them: F(S)=exp(-SD)/(TS+1)

The step logic algorithm and the device control algorithm provide the standard
implementation methods of the group and the sub-group sequence control. It can
accept the upper sequence-control logic or the operator’s starting command, and
set the corresponding device running in the sequence-control mode. The condition
to next step is its feedback or time defined by its parameter Tset. After the former
step’s operation is ended successfully (the feedback signal arrives or the set time
Tset is reached), the program moves to the next step automatically. If any
malfunction happens and does not disappear in certain time or the operation has
not been finished when the limit time Tlmt is reached, the step controller will be
stopped. After the sequence-control is initiated, the operator can pause/reset the
program, skip to next step ignoring the condition, and select to jump steps or set
step at any time. The operation of jumping steps or setting definite steps should be
executed in the condition of the safe running of the devices on site.
Every step logic algorithm can implement no more than 8 steps automatically. In
cascade using, several step logic algorithms can accomplish the complicated
sequence-control logic. In cascade using, the output point END of the previous
step controller must be connected to the input point START of the following step
controller. All working state outputs come from the first step controller while the
corresponding step commands come from different step controllers. In the same,
the feedback, the set time Tset and the limit time Tlmt are set in different step
controllers, others are set in the first step controller. The Maxs is set in the first step
(no 1~8 limit) and in order to be compatible with the former editions, all the Maxs
of the following step controller must be set to 0.
STEP receives the following operation commands:
STEP TagName Start/Pause/Reset/Skip/Auto/Manual
When input of start permission EnS is 0, start command will be invalid.
Pause is toggled with Continue.
The priority of Step input and HMI command is as following (from high to lower):
(1) EnS: Start/Skip/Track/Continue is forbidden When EnS is False.
(2) Pause: The STEP is always paused when input PAUSE is true. HMI command
PAUSE will also make the step pause. The STEP will continue to run when receiving
the next HMI PAUSE command. When the step is in paused state and the input
pause is false, the step block will jump to next step to run when it receives the HMI
skip command.
(3) Track: The STEP will jump to the step defined by Tmode.
(4) Skip: Jump to the next step when in paused status and no pause command.
(5) Start: Start the STEP from step 1 when the step is the reset status.
(6) Reset: Reset the step to initial status.

5.21 Direct Digital Servo, DDS
5.21.1 Icon

Output INC Boolean F Increase command output
Output DEC Boolean F Decrease command output
Input X Float 0.0 Analog input
Input AI Float 0.0 Analog feedback
Input Dis Boolean F Output disable command
When it is 1, output INC and DEC are forced to be 0
Parameter DB Float 2.0 The dead band: there is no output if the deviation of
X and AI is in this dead area
Parameter MB Float 5.0 The pulse adjusting area: If the deviation of X and AI
is in this area, the output will be pulse
Parameter T Float 1.0 The pulse period, unit: second
Parameter Ton Float 0.5 The width of high voltage of pulse, unit: second

This function block converts analog deviation signal to digital control signal.
According to analog value, digital output can be divided to increase command
output INC and decrease command output DEC, and send to digital driving step
type servo accumulation device.
Deviation K=X-AI.
When |K|＜DB, no increase/decrease demand output;
When DB≤|K|＜MB, if K＞0, INC outputs pulse series defined by parameter T and
Ton; on the contrary, DEC outputs such pulse series.
When |K|≥MB, if K＞0, INC outputs constant 1; otherwise, DEC outputs constant 1.
This block quality is always good. If feedback input signal “AI” quality is bad, then
INC/DEC output will be forbidden, INC and DEC would be forced to 0.
The definition of parameters should follow the rules below:
0≤DB≤MB, Ton<T

5.22 Software Pulse Series Output, SPO

Output D Boolean F The pulse series output
Input Z Boolean F The control command input
Parameter T Float 2.0 The pulse period, unit: second
Parameter Ton Float 1.0 The No.1 high-level width per pulse, unit: second
Parameter T1 Float 0.0 The time interval for switching to the No.2 high-level
width, unit: second
Parameter Ton1 Float 1.0 The No.2 high-level width per pulse, unit: second

This function block can change output pulse width with time length of control
input signal Z. Output pulse signal has two different widths whose pulse period are
the same, all set by T. When input signal Z holding time <T1, pulse’s high voltage
width is Ton , called No.1 pulse high voltage width. When input signal hold time ≥T1,
pulse high voltage width is Ton1 , called No.2 pulse high voltage width. If pulse
width T1 is set to 0.0, two pulses have same widths. At this time, parameter Ton1 is
ineffective.
When input signal Z jumps from 1 to 0, pulse series output will be finished and
output D is set to 0.
All time will be digitalized to be multiple of page execution

period.

This function block defines the operation step table of 16 steps and 16 devices.
Together with function block STEP it is used to control the chemical water
processing workflow in power plant.
For example:
If the input STEP is n(1~16) and En is 1, the output command from (D1O,D1C) to
(D16O,D16C) will follow the Bit0~Bit15 of parameter TABn. If Bit(m) is 1, the D(m)O
will be 1 and D(m)C will be 0; if Bit(m) is 0, the D(m)O will be 0 and D(m)C will be 1.

When all feedbacks are same as its corresponding output command, the step n
completion flag S(n)FB will be true after waiting Twaitn time.

Input TRIP1 Boolean F Device 1 trip, link to ‘trip’ output pin of Device FB
Input FAIL1 Boolean F Device 1 fault, link to the ‘or’ logic output of ‘Device’
FB‘s ‘OpFL’ and ‘Forbid’ output pin
Parameter Long 1 The quantity of devices that need to run in normal
DevNum status.
Parameter Float 5.0 Interlock waiting time, unit: second. When ‘CRIT’ is true,
TCrit start command will sent to standby device. If standby
device can’t start up successfully in TCrit seconds, the
device with lower priority will start up.
Parameter Float 5.0 Startup waiting time, unit: second. When ‘START’ is on,
Twait start command will send to master device. If master
device can’t start up successfully in Twait seconds, the
standby device will start up.
Parameter Float 5.0 Switch waiting time, unit: second. When an operating
TSwh device fails, the standby device will start up after TSwh
seconds.

DevSwh4 manages the interlock between four devices, which has the following
functions:
(1) Sequence start:
If interlock is on and the quantity of running devices is less than parameter
‘DevNum’, DevSwh4 will start one device (highest priority device first) automatically
when start command is effective.
(2) Trip interlock-start:

If interlock is on and one device fails (status from on to off), DevSwh4 will start
standby device automatically after TSwh seconds delay. If the standby device can’t
start up successfully in TWait seconds, DevSwh4 will start the device with lower
priority.
(3) Parameter interlock-start:
If interlock is on and the running devices can’t meet the process parameter (Input
‘Crit’ is true), DevSwh4 will start the standby device after TCrit seconds delay. If the
standby device can’t start up successfully in TWait seconds, DevSwh4 will start the
device with lower priority. If the standby device start up successfully but input ‘Crit’ is
still true, DevSwh4 will also start the device with lower priority in TWait seconds.
The input ‘On’ has the priority over input ‘Off’. The input ‘Off’ will be invalid when
input ‘On’ is 1.
Success meaning for Output ‘SOK’:

In the trip interlock-start, ‘SOK’ will be true if one standby device starts up
successfully.
DevSwh4 can receive the following operation commands:

DEVSWH4 Tag Name ON/OFF/Start/DEV1 p/DEV2 p/DEV3 p/DEV4 p/ACK
(Interlock on/ Interlock off/ Start the top priority backup device/set device 1 priority
as p/ set device 2 priority as p / set device 3 priority as p / set device 4 priority as p /
acknowledge operation failure).
DevSwh4 will reject the ON/OFF operation command when its input pin On/Off =1.
VC point definition of DevSwh4 is as table 5.24-2.

safety operation direction of device Y in
step X when En input turns to false, 0=keep,
1=Off, 2=On. Bit 8~Bit15 is the operation
sequence of device Y in step X.

This function block defines the operation table of 32 devices in 16 steps. Together
with function block STEP, it is generally used to control the demi-water process
control system in power plant.
If Step input turns to n(1~16) and En input is true, this block will operate devices
through output D1O,D1C~D32O,D32C according to parameter SXDY. For example, if
S5D3=611H, device 3 will on in step 5, device 3 operation sequence is 6 in step 5,
and device 3 will off if En input turns to false in step 5.
When all devices feedback are the same as its corresponding output command, the

Chapter 6 Operator
The operators described in this Section have the following common properties:
The quality of all the operators is always good. The quality transfer mode of the
operator has different meanings. 0 means that the operator will not switch to the
manual mode whether the quality of the input point is good or not; 1 means that
the operator will switch to the manual mode when the quality of any input point is
bad (OR); 2 means that operator will switch to the manual mode when the quality
of all input points is bad (AND).
All operators have four parameters: LTD, SH, NAA and T. Each operator is identical
to be attached with an XNetAO block, so each operator can define a real-time
point, which is called virtual point (VC point). VC point is unique identifier to an
operator. Any operative command can be sent to VC point, and it is not necessary
for operative command to search by algorithm address P.B. VC point can be
referred to between pages. VC point is defined as analog point, means packing
digital point, VC point record occupied 6 bytes, first 2 bytes is real time status, last
4 bytes are packing value. VC point status word Bit0=Bit5=1, BIt1~Bit15 of state
word has same definition with analog point. 0-32bit of VC packing point value has
different meanings in different algorithm.
All operators are in track status when DPU starts. The output tracks signal TR, and
the working mode is manual; while the initial value of set output is invalid, unless
the pin of track signal TR is null. The output of ES/MA function block will track the
value of FB.

PACKAO

This function block outputs one operable float variable, receives increase/decrease
and set value command, increase/decrease rate is adjusted by operative
command. Magnitude of output can be limited. One positive single pulse will be
output from D, once it receives an operative command.
KBML receives the following commands: KBML Tagname Inc/Dec/Set Value
Value in increase/decrease command is percentage of high and low range limit.
When value is negative, it is decrease.
VC point output of function block is defined as table 6.1-2:
Bit0 Output D indication
Bit13 Tracking switch TS indication

6.2 Simple Digital Manual Operator, D/MA
6.2.1 Icon

Output D Boolean F Output
Input TR Boolean F Tracking value
Input TS Boolean F Tracking switch input
PACKAO

This function block outputs one Boolean number that can be operated and
accepts the command.
DMA receives the following operative command：
DMA Tagname Pulse/Set/Reset/Topple
1) Pulse：Generate a pulse with one period width or designated width
2) Set：Set the output to 1
3) Reset：Reset the output to 0
4) Topple：Change the output to the inverse state
When the command is ‘pulse’, a float number can follow the command keyword
that appoints pulse width. For example, 1.2, 0.3 and so on, which represents the
pulse width is 1.2 s or 0.3 s. When the command is not followed by a parameter, its
pulse width is the execution period of the D/MA’s page. ‘Pulse’ always outputs the
positive pulse, if D is already “1”, after the pulse width, it changes to ‘0’. If the pulse
of the former command has not finished, another command comes, then the pulse
width can only extend to the width appointed by the later command. When in
track status (TS=1), the operational command is not accepted, and the value and
quality of output D track the value and quality of input point TR.
VC point output of function block is defined as table 6.2-2:
Bit0 Output D indication

Parameter VC PACKAO Group parameter for VC
Parameter Word 0 Working mode
Mode 0=Imbalance mode, 1=Balance mode

This function block can be the soft operator for loop control.
When Mode=0, it is unbalance method. In auto mode, YB0 = YB , Y = X + YB0 ;
in manual mode, YB0 = YB and Y decided by command
When Mode=1, it is balance method. In auto mode, YB0 = YB , Y = X + YB0 ; in

manual mode, YB0 = Y − X , YB = YB0 ;
The disturbance when switching from manual to automation need be avoided by

additional logic.
Input TOM&TOA are applied for FB mode (Manual/Auto) selection. TOA is prohibited
when TOM is TRUE and is only effective on rising-edge.
This function is in manual mode when DPU starts, and Y = FB .
In tracking mode, the quality of Y tracks TR’s. Magnitude and rate of output can be
limited, and bias can be added.
The Priorities of all working conditions are: Local>Override>Manual>Auto. Override
does not change former mode – manual or auto. Local mode will switch the block
to manual.
If the function block changes to local mode by device position (TOL=1), it will
change back to un-local mode when device position changed to un-local (TOL=0).
If the function block changes to local mode by command (To Local Set), it will
change back to un-local mode after command also (To Local ReSet).
ES/MA receives the following operation command:

1) ES/MA Tagname Auto/Manual/Local: switch to auto/manual/local mode; Local
is a toggled command.
2) ES/MA Tagname Out/SP Value +/-: output/set value increase/decrease; Value
is the percentage of high and low limit separately, output increase/decrease is
increase/decrease pulse with 1s width in local mode.
3) ES/MA Tagname SetOut/SetSP Value: set Output/Setpoint value; Value is
absolute value
4) ES/MA Tagname Open/Close/Stop: The forced increase/decrease/stop
command in local mode.

Parameter DY Float 1.0 The changing rate: the unit is second

This function block is to generate ramp signal. It has two control signals, one is
reset signal Rst, and the other is hold signal Hold. Ramp changing rate is decided
by parameter DY. Ramp signal starting value is decided by input signal Base, called
base point value. Ramp signal end value is decided by input signal End, called end
value. Signal generating process is as follows:
When the reset signal Rst is changed from 0 to 1, then the output Y equals to the
value of the base point and the output D is set to 0. After that, Y will vary from the
base point to the end point at the rate DY. When the end point is reached, D is set
to1. All the outputs will be frozen at the objective points. In this process, if Hold is
set from 0 to 1, then the output Y keeps unchanged. Unless Hold is changed from 1
to 0 again, then the output Y will vary to the end point at the rate DY again. If the
reset signal Rst is from 0 to 1 again, then this process will start again.

T1≤T2≤T3≤T4≤T5

This function block is often used in sequence signal generator, with 5-sector signal
parameters Y1 ~ Y5 whose corresponding time is T1 ~ T5 .
At moment t, function block's output Y has relationship with time section

(Ti , Ti +1 ) and this section parameter (Yi , Yi +1 ) , the relationship is as the following:
Yi +1 − Yi
Y (t ) = (t − Ti ) + Yi , (Ti < t < Ti +1 )
Ti +1 − Ti

When the reset signal Rst is set from 0 to 1, then output Y equals to the value of
the base point and output D is set to 0. After that, output will arrive Y1 on time
T1 , arrive Y2 on time T2 , …, arrive Y5 till on time T5 ; at this time, digital output
D is set to 1, and the analog output holds on at Y5 . In this process, if Hold is set
from 0 to 1, output Y holds on, inner timer stops, till Hold is set from 1 to 0; output Y
changes according to the former regulation. If reset signal – Rst changes from 0 to
1, this process will start again.
If parameters T1~T5 fail to comply with the rule of 0 ≤ T1 ≤ T2 ≤ T3 ≤ T4 ≤ T5 ,
then section signal generation process will stop at the first position violating this
rule, The block regards that it has reached the final point, so the output D is set to
1 and the output Y holds on the last effective Y value.

block varies from the base point to Y1 in time period T1 and Sy+1 and Sd point
sends a pulse signal, its output point Y arrives at Y2 after time period T2 and Sy+1
and Sd outputs a pulse single, until the point Y arrives at the end Y12 and
Sy=Sx+12 and Sd output a single pulse. At last output point D output a long pulse
and the output point Y keeps on the value Y12. In this process, if the input point
Hold is set from 0 to 1, then the output value Y is frozen and the inner timer stops.
Until Hold changes from 1 to 0, then the output value Y changes according to the
former regulation again. If the input signal Set changes from 0 to 1, the process is
restarted again. The parameters T1 and T12 must be equal to or bigger than 0. If
Ti<0, the section signal will stop after travelling i-1 sections and judge that it has
arrived at the end by the function block itself, so it will set output point D to 1 and
the output point Y will keep the last effective value.

This function block calculates time integral, average, max or min etc. of analog
inputs in a period.
This function block controls timer start and end with Set signal. When Set jumps
from 0 to 1, calculation begins; when Set jumps from 1 to 0, calculation ends. This
block chooses calculating method by parameter Mode. Calculating formula is as
follows:
Mode=0 means conducting time rectangle integral on input signal, that is:
n
Y (n) = Y0 + ∑ X (n) * T
i =1
1 n
Mode=1 means calculating average, that is: Y ( n) = [Y0 + ∑ X (n) * T ]
nT i=1
Mode=2 means calculating max, that is: Y ( n) = max[ X (i )]

i=1...n
Mode=3 means calculating min, that is Y ( n) = min[ X (i )]

i=1...n
Mode=4 means conducting time trapezoid integral on input signal, that is

n T
Y (n) = Y0 + ∑[ X (n) + X (n − 1)] *
i =1 2
In formula, sampling period T is execution period of the page that this block
locates. Parameter Y 0 is initial output value when Set input signal jumps from o
to 1.
In time field statistic calculation, conversion coefficient C j is set, and used to
memory conversion on statistic result. That is to multiply the statistic result
with C j , then take the result as function block output Y j . In flow accumulation
calculation, generally, C j is a time conversion constant.

Parameter Y0 Float 0.0 Y initial value, when Set＝1
Parameter Cj Float 1.0 Conversion factor

This function block conducts time statistic on digital input signal Z.
Set signal switches this function block on/off. When it changes from 0 to 1,
function block begins to statistic digital input signal Z; when Set signal changes
from 1 to 0, statistic ends.
Parameter Mode is to control statistic method:
Mode=1 means to statistic digital input signal Z with logic 1 signal,
Mode=0 means to statistic digital input signal Z with logic 0 signal.
The time unit of statistic is execution period and sampling period of the page
where this function block exists, the unit is second.
Statistic formula is as follows:
n
when Mode=0, Y ( n) = Y0 + ∑ [ Z (i) == 0] ∗ T
i =1
n
When Mode=1, Y ( n) = Y0 + ∑ [Z (i) == 1] ∗ T
i =1

Parameter Y0 is initial output when Set jumps from 0 to 1. So output Y shows
time length when digital input signal is logic 1 or logic 0, that is time length of logic
1 or logic 0 equal to their sampling frequency multiply execution period.
In digital time statistic calculation, conversion coefficient C j is set to conduct
memory conversion on statistic result. Output of function block Y j is statistic
result multiplying C j .

2) Valid zero line: the middle line of valid measuring segment
3) Zero water level Bias: If valid zero level is above actual zero level, Bias is a positive
value; otherwise, Bias is a negative value
Temperature of balance container valid measure sector is designed for improving
measure precision, if there is no this measuring point on site, it is assumed to be 50℃.
If input P exceeds 0~30MPa or input T exceeds 0~700℃, the FB will set overflow.
This function block is designed for water level compensation of single chamber balance
container, and it does not suit for other type balance container compensation.
