Damper C_DAMPER
4 Function Manual, 07/2016
Function 1
Type/Number
Module name: C_DAMPER

Module no.: FB1002
Calling OBs
All CEMAT Functions must be installed in the same OB, which is preferable OB1. The System
Chart SYSPLCxx contains infrastructure blocks which must be called at the beginning
(Runtime group OB1_START) and at the end (Runtime group OB1_END) of this OB.
The application program must be called between OB1_START and OB1_END.
Calling of the CEMAT blocks in a cyclic interrupt OB (OB34 or OB35) is possible, but only if the
complete program is called in the same cyclic interrupt OB. In this case the infrastructure blocks
must as well be moved to the cyclic interrupt OB (see Engineering Manual chapter Tips &
Tricks).
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
1.1 General Function description
Operating modes
Module Type C_DAMPER can be used to control dampers, actuators or gates. As per
definition, direction 1 = close and direction 2 = open. The damper can be controlled out in three
different operating modes:
● In "automatic mode" the damper is controlled by a superordinated group module.
All process interlocks and protection interlocks are effective.
● The "manual mode" allows individual control via operator faceplate of the damper.
Different interlocking levels exist, which must be configured via Feature bits.
● In "local mode" the damper can be controlled by the locally installed switches or
pushbuttons.
Only the general protection interlock and the essential interlocks are effective.
The following table shows whiOperating modesModule Type C_DAMPER can be used to
control dampers, actuators or gates. As per definition, direction 1 = close and direction 2 =
open. The damper can be controlled out in three different operating modes:In "automatic mode"
the damper is controlled by a superordinated group module. All process interlocks and
protection interlocks are effective.The "manual mode" allows individual control via operator
faceplate of the damper.Different interlocking levels exist, which must be configured via
Feature bits. In "local mode" the damper can be controlled by the locally installed switches or
pushbuttons.Only the general protection interlock and the essential interlocks are effective.The
following table shows which mode change is permitted:to →ch mode change is permitted:
to → Local mode Manual mode

Local mode + stopped **) yes yes
Local mode + moving yes *) yes *)
to → Automatic mode Local mode

from ↓
Manual mode + stopped **) yes yes
Manual mode + moving yes *) no
*) keeps on running if the interlocking conditions are OK

**) a damper will be “stopped” as soon as the limit position is reached. In this case, switching
to local mode or non-interlocked manual mode is possible.
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
Operating mode change can be achieved, dependent on Feature bits and OS permissions
● only via the damper faceplate
● only group-wise via the GR_LINK interface
● only via input interfaces AutModOn, ManModOn and LocModOn
● or via a combination of the above listed possibilities.
The mode can only be changed by switching into another mode. There is no option for e.g.
"Manual mode off".
Inching and Positioning function

In automatic mode and in manual mode, beside normal the control from limit position to limit
position, it is possible to control the damper to a certain intermediate position. The damper can
be controlled step-wise (through inching function) or through entering a setpoint (positioning
function).
Note
Also in inching mode or positioning mode the damper is controlled via binary output signals
ContOn1 and ContOn2.
● The Inching mode is enabled via parameter InchEn

A 1-Signal at parameter InchEn disables the open/close commands StrtAut1 and
StrtAut2 and the manual open/close commands via the damper faceplate. At the same
time the faceplate of the damper shows the actual damper position and two buttons (arrow
up an arrow down) which allow step-wise opening and closing of the damper.
Inching is also possible via conventional control desk buttons CmdInch1 and CmdInch2.
● The Positioning mode is enabled via parameter PosMoEn and InchEn
If both parameters PosMoEn and InchEn have 1-Signal the damper can be controlled via
a given setpoint. The setpoint can either be entered by the operator (through the damper
faceplate) or it can be provided as an external setpoint (e. g. from a controller).
If PosMoEn has 1-Signal the inching buttons disappear and instead of this an input field for
entering the setpoint is displayed.
● Inching in positioning mode
This function can be used if there are problems to reach the limit positions in positioning
mode:
If the positioning mode is enabled and the damper in not in a limit position (neither
completely closed nor completely open), the damper can be switched into the inching mode
through a button in the diagnosis window.
Inching in Positioning mode is only allowed if OS_Perm.bit22 = TRUE:
BitNr. Function/OS Permission Default value

22 1 = Enable inching is positioning mode TRUE
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
The following conditions will switch off this special inching mode:
● the operator (by pressing the button in the diagnosis faceplate)
● when the damper is not in the condition of positioning anymore (InchEn = 0 or PosMoEn=0)
● when the limit position1 or 2 is reached.
Note
During 'inching in positioning mode' the output SP_Out is forced based on inching commands,
regardless of the actual setpoint and regardless of setpoint limits SP_LoLim and SP_HiLim.
Switching back to positioning mode enables the actual setpoint again (the output will follow
the setpoint, which is again limited by the setpoint limits SP_LoLim and SP_HiLim).
Calibration function
For positioning dampers it often happens that the limit position open or closed is reached before
the analog value shows 0% or 100%. This is confusing for the plant operator.
Through a calibration function the Start and End values can be adjusted. After the calibration,
the position value is calculated based on the calibration values for position 1 and 2
CaliPos1 and CaliPos2.
To start the calibration the damper must be in manual mode and closed (FbkPos1 must be
reached), inching mode and positioning mode must be disabled. Through button 'Calibration'
in the damper faceplate the damper will be started into direction 2. As soon as the limit position
2 FbkPos2 is reached the calibration is completed and the start and end value is entered into
CaliPos1 and CaliPos2.
Calibration values must be enabled trough Feature bit:
BitNr. Function/Features Default value

31 Use calibrated Position Value FALSE
Only if Feature.bit31 = TRUE the calibrated position values are used.
Analog actuators
Some Actuators are not controlled via binary signals (contactor on commands ContOn1 and
ContOn2) but directly via analog output.
In this case the Setpoint output SP_Out can be used and connected to the analog output, e.
g. via channel driver block Pcs7AnOu). See description for SP_Out.
Wagging function
For the wagging function the damper must be in automatic mode and manual mode and inching
or positioning function must be disabled.
If the wagging function is enabled and a run-time fault occurs (MovMonTi exceeded) or the
torque switch TorqSw1 (or TorqSw2) is activated, the damper is controlled back to the start
position and then tries to run again in the required direction.
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
The number of attempts can be set via process parameter WaggNo. After an unsuccessful
number of wagging attempts, the damper block creates the alarm message 'Mechanical D1'
or 'Mechanical D2'.
Standard Signals
The following standard signals are monitored by the damper block:
● Contactor feedback FbkRun1 in conjunction with the contactor output ContOn1
● Contactor feedback FbkRun2 in conjunction with the contactor output ContOn2
● Limit position PbkPos1
● Limit position PbkPos2
● Internal limit position IntPos1
● Internal limit position IntPos2
● The torque switch TorqSw1 in conjunction with the contactor output ContOn1
● The torque switch TorqSw2 in conjunction with the contactor output ContOn2
● Electrical availability ElAvail
● Overload or Bimetal Overload
Additional local switch signals allow local control via field switches or pushbuttons:
● Field switch ready signal AutModLo (Position switch or Repair switch)
● Field switch stop signal StopLoc (Stop local)
● Field switch start signal StrtLoc1 (Start local to direction 1)
● Field switch start signal StrtLoc2 (Start local to direction 2)
The function of the field switch signals may differ from plant to plant. Therefore the function
must be configured via Feature bits. Refer to "Hardware Inputs", "Feature bit options for Field
switch (Local switch) signals"
If the damper is acutated in automatic or in manual mode, a wrong status at any of the above
mentioned signals leads to an alarm message.*)
*) The message can be of type "fault" (Alarm – high) or "warning" (Warning – high), depending
on the block settings.
In Local mode the damper does not create alarm messages!
Priorities for alarm messages:
Combination of faults Diagnosis and alarm line

ElAvail, Overload, AutModLo = 0 Available *)
Overload, AutModLo = 0 Overload
AutModLo =0 Local
*) The priority between ElAvail and Overload can be reversed via input MsgPrio.
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
Limit Position switches

By default the limit positions must have 1-Signal when die position is reached. The evaluation
can be changed via feature bit option:

29 Limit switch D1: 1 = normal open; 0 = normal closed TRUE
With Feature.bit29 = TRUE limit position 1 is set to normally open. In this case FbkPos1
must have 1-Signal if the limit switch is reached.
With Feature.bit30 = TRUE limit position 2 is set to normally open. In this case FbkPos2
must have 1-Signal if the limit switch is reached.
Protection Signals
If additional protection interlocks exist for the damper, those signals have to be linked to an
Annunciation block C_ANNUNC or C_ANNUN8 in order to create an alarm. In order to stop
the damper in case of a fault an output of the annunciation block has to be connected to the
protection interlock of the damper.
● Protection interlock Dir. 1 IntProt1 effective in all modes

● Protection interlock Dir. 2 IntProt2 effective in all modes
The protection interlocks IntProt1 and IntProt2 are effective in all modes (Automatic mode, all
manual modes, local mode and inching mode).
Process interlocks
Process interlocks can be used in order to enable or disable the damper control dependent
on a process condition, like "previous drive/device is running" or a process signal. If the process
interlocks are not fulfilled, no alarm is created. This implies that for diagnosis purpose the
interlock blocks must be used (if necessary also additional C_ANNUNC blocks).
The following process interlocks are available and can be used as per definition. Refer to
"Change of operation mode", "Feature bit options for mode change").
● Start interlock dir. 1 and 2 IntStrt1 and IntStrt2

● Essential start interlock dir. 1 and 2 IntStaE1 and IntStaE2
● Operating interlock dir. 1 and 2 IntOper1 and IntOper2
● Essential operating interlock dir. 1 and 2 IntOpE1 and IntOpE2
The following table gives an overview which process interlock is effective in which mode. This
must be considered also in case of an operation mode change.

Process parameters
Through process parameters the following values can be configured online:
● FbkMonTi (s) Time for the contactor feedback on supervision (optional)

● MovMonTi (s) Move time supervision; limit position must be reached after this
time
● LSDelTi (s) Limit switch delay time; damper must not drift away from limit po‐
sition
● WarnTi (s) Start-up warning time for manual mode and local mode (if enabled)
● WaggNo Number of attempts for wagging function
● MinPulTi (s) Minimum pulse length for contactor output
● MovActTi (s) Actuator runtime from Pos1 to Pos2
● DeadzoH (%) Switch on of the dead zone high
● DeadzoL (%) Switch off of the dead zone low
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
1.2 Change of operation mode
Possible Operation modes

Four operation modes exist which can be enabled or disabled via Feature bits:
● Automatic mode
● Manual mode
● Local mode
● Out of Service mode

21 Automatic mode exists TRUE
13 Manual mode exists TRUE
0 Local mode exists TRUE
Feature.bit21, Feature.bit13 and Feature.bit0 enable Automatic, Manual or

Local mode.
Out of Service mode is always enabled.
Interlocking levels for manual mode

For the manual different interlocking levels exist:
● All interlocks are active in manual mode
(Feature.bit16 and Feature.bit18 = FALSE)
● Manual mode is non-interlocked (only IntProt1 and IntProt2 active)
(Feature.bit16 = TRUE, Feature.bit18 = FALSE)
● Manual mode with reduced interlocks (IntProt1, IntProt2, IntStaE1,
IntStaE2, IntOpE1 and IntOpE2 active)
(Feature.bit16 = FALSE, Feature.bit18 = TRUE)
Note
Via Feature bits the preferred interlocking level is defined (when switching the damper into
manual mode via interface ManModOn or via GR_LINK). Possible modes are enabled via OS
Permission.

16 Manual mode Non Interlocked (only IntProt1 and IntProt2 active) FALSE
18 Manual mode Reduced Interlocks (IntProt1, IntProt1, IntStaE1, In‐ FALSE
tStaE2, IntOpE1 and IntOpE2 active)
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
Mode change options

Mode change can be achieved via Operator Faceplate or by Program. The Imode change
options are defined in Feature bits and OS Permissions:
OS Permissions for mode change:

2 1 = Operator can change to Automatic mode TRUE
0 1 = Operator can change to Local mode TRUE
1 1 = Operator can change to Manual mode Interlocked TRUE
5 1 = Operator can change to Manual mode Non Interlocked FALSE
6 1 = Operator can change to Manual mode Reduced Interlocks FALSE
18 1 = Enable Single step mode change FALSE
For mode change via Program different options exist:

● Mode change via rising edge at Interfaces AutModOn, ManModOn, LocModOn or forcing
to "Out of Service" via 0-Signal at OoSModOn
● Mode change via GR_LINK Interface (mode change command is directly derived from
allocated group)
● switching back to Automatic mode with Automatic start command StartAut (this is only
possible if AutModLo is not a Position switch.
Feature bits for mode change via program:

1 Local ON via program possible TRUE
2 Local OFF via program possible TRUE
14 Manual ON via program possible TRUE
15 Manual OFF via program possible TRUE
25 GR_LINK interface used for mode change to damper TRUE
19 StartAut switches damper to Automatic mode TRUE
Out of Service mode

Switching the damper to Out of Service mode disables the entire block functions. The operation
of the drive is inhibited, the outputs are set to "0", all messages are suppressed and only the
status words are updated. Memorized functions like Rapid stop are reset.
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
A drive can be switched into Out of service mode via Operator faceplate or via program.
● Changing into Out of Service mode via Operator faceplate is only possible if the damper is
not actuated and in this case switching back from Out of Service mode to Automatic, Manual
or Local mode needs to be done via Operator faceplate as well.
● 0-Signal at program interface OoSModOn forces the damper to Out of Service mode at any
time and the damper will then be stopped.
In this case switching back from Out of Service mode to Automatic, Manual or Local mode
is possible via a rising edge at inputs AutModOn, ManModOn or LocModOn or via Operator
faceplate.
Feedback of the Operating mode

In Manual mode the output ManuAct is set
In Local mode the output LocalAct is set
In Out of Service mode the output OoSAct is set.
For the summarizing indication at the group block icon two options exist:
● The damper outputs can be connected individually to the group (via OR-Function)
● The operation mode can be automatically derived from GR_LINK connection.

26 GR_LINK interface used for mode feedback from damper TRUE
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
1.3 Configuration state
1.3 Configuration state

Due to safety reasons the status of the Feature bits and OS Permissions can only be modified
if the block is in configuration state. The block is in configuration state:
- if it is called for the first time in the program or
- during restart of the AS or
- if the block is in Out of Service mode or
- in sequence test mode (PIN protected)
Note
For a running plant this means that for any modification of Feature bits or OS Permissions the
module must be set to Out of Service mode.
Feature Master block

Features and OS Permissions related to the operating or programming philosophy must be
consistent in all instances of the block. In order to ensure this, the relevant Feature bits and
OS Permission bits can be selected and defined once per block type via the Feature Master
block C_M_DAMPER (located in the system chart). These settings can be applied to all
instances of the block type C_DAMPER.
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
1.4 Additional functions
1.4 Additional functions
Link to a measured value

In the Faceplate of the drive an assigned measured value can be displayed. This is achieved
by connecting the physical output of the C_MEASUR block or C_ANASEL block to the damper
block.
SIMOCODE drives
If SIMOCODE is used, the communication between the damper block and the SIMOCODE
can be carried out via adapter block C_SIMOS or C_SIM_AD.
An additional button in the damper faceplate opens the faceplate of the adapter block in order
to display the SIMOCODE details.
User output (pulse)

Via a button in the diagnosis view of the damper faceplate or via a rising edge at block input
UserPulse, output UserOut will be set to 1 for one cycle. Block input UserFbk can be used
in order to display the status (feedback).
The function can be used for any kind of application which requires a trigger (either by program
or from a faceplate button). Button text and status text can be configured in the CFC.
Application examples:
● An acknowledge command (pulse) is needed for the acknowledgement of an external
device. Customer wants the acknowledgement through the damper faceplate.
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
1.5 Optional features
Rapid stop
Option for Rapid stop via Operator Station exists. Via right mouse-click on the block icon the
Rapid stop push-button appears.
The Rapid stop function must be enabled via feature bit setting:

17 Rapid stop exist FALSE
If Feature.bit17 = TRUE the Rapid stop function is enabled.

In case of Rapid stop a fault message is created.
Show Last stop reason

The Last stop reason for the damper can be provided at output LaStopRe and displayed in
the faceplate of the damper.
The function must be enabled via Feature bit setting.

11 Last stop reason TRUE
If Feature2.bit11 = TRUE the stop code and the time is written to the output LaStopRe.
Additional Fault reset

For all Object types for drives, annunciation blocks and measurements, there is an option to
memorize the trip until an additional “Fault reset” button in the object faceplate is pressed.
Resetting the fault on object level forces the operator to look at the equipment to be reset.
Only dynamic faults are memorized, static faults don’t require additional Fault reset.
The Fault reset can only be carried out after the fault is cleared (after the fault is acknowledged
and gone).
The Fault reset function is enabled via the following Feature bit and OS Permission:

19 Additional Fault reset function FALSE
Feature.bit19 = TRUE enables the function “Fault reset”

19 1 = Enable Fault reset FALSE
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
OS_Perm.bit19 = TRUE enables the “Fault reset” button.
Note
If Fault reset function is enabled at the C_DAMPER, the function must as well be enabled for
all linked C_ANNUNC, C_ANNUN8 and C_MEASUR blocks.
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
1.6 Simulation of the Limit Positions
Simulation of the Limit Positions

Limit positions (active and idle position) can be simulated. In this case the status of the limit
switch is not evaluated and the valve simulates the correct position after the Monitoring time
from pos1 to pos2 MovActTi has elapsed.
Note
Be aware that the Simulation of limit positions may lead to uncertain plant operation, because
the real status of the valve is not secured any more.
The simulation function must be enabled via feature bit setting:

31 Simulate position switches FALSE
Feature.bit31 = TRUE enables the simulation function. Two additional buttons are shown
in diagnosis window.
The enable buttons in the diagnosis window get active if the corresponding OS Permission is
given:

23 1 = Enable Simulation of position 1 FALSE
OS_Perm.bit27 = TRUE allows the operator to switch on the simulation for position 1.
OS_Perm.bit28 = TRUE allows the operator to switch on the simulation for position 2.
If the simulation is enabled for any of the limit position switches, the block icon changes to
orange color (simulation).
Enable Safe Position

Via a special feature bit setting the damper can be controlled to a “safe position”, dependent
on a plant condition.

12 Safe position FALSE
Feature2.bit12 = TRUE the function is enabled. The safe position is configured via block
input SetSPos and the command is given via input ActSPos.
Regain Lost Limit Position

Drifting from the limit position can be compensated automatically. If the damper drifts from the
limit position a control command to the lost direction is given for a maximum duration of Limit
switch delay time LSDelTi.
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
The function must be enabled via feature bit setting and works only in automatic mode.

13 Regain lost limit position FALSE
Feature2.bit13 = TRUE and the damper drifts from the limit position while it is in automatic
mode, it will be controlled automatically to the lost limit position.
If the damper does not reach the limit position again within limit switch delay time LSDelTi
the damper block creates an alarm “Mechanical fault”.
Damper C_DAMPER
Function
1.7 Sequence Test
1.7 Sequence Test

The sequence test mode can be used for program test without the periphery being available.
This is very useful for general function tests, for the Factory Acceptance Test or for Operator
Training.
The sequence test mode always applies to the complete PLC and must be enabled via System
chart SYSPLCxx, block C_FB_PLC at input SEQ_TEST. A PLC restart is necessary in order to
switch into Sequence test mode and back.
In the sequence test mode the output for contactor on commands are never set and the
contactor feedback is simulated internally. The signal status of the inputs can be simulated via
diagnosis view of the damper faceplate, where the status indications are converted into
simulation buttons which allow “switching” of the inputs:
● After the Sequence Test mode is enabled, by default all inputs are in healthy condition and
the simulation buttons appear.
● For Signals ElAvail, Overload, AutModLo, StopLoc, StrtLoc1 and StrtLoc2 a
click on the button changes the signal status (toggle function)
● Position feedback signals FbkPos1 and FbkPos2 and Contactor feedback signals
FbkRun1 and FbkRun2 can be forced to “0” in order to simulate a Feedback fault.
(Contactor feedbacks only matter if the feature bit is set)
● The process value (actual position) is calculated internally.
The sequence test mode includes a function for saving, restoring or interrupting the simulation.
This can be carried out via block C_FB_PLC, inputs SimSave, SimLoad and SimPause in
System chart SYSPLCxx. See Engineering Manual 06_AS_Engineering_009.

Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle 2
2.1 Hardware inputs
FbkRun1
FbkRun1 1 = contactor feedback on direction 1 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The FbkRun1 parameter is used to monitor the contactor feedback of the drive in conjunction
with the contactor on command ContOn1. The monitoring time for motor start can be set via
parameter FbkMonTi. The monitoring time for switching off is always 2s. If an already running
drive looses its contactor feedback, the drive will be switched off immediately.
The contactor feedback is monitored in automatic mode and in the manual mode. If the mon‐
itoring time expires a running drive will be stopped with the alarm message 'Contactor feedback
D1'.
FbkRun1 parameter must only be connected only if Feature.bit27 = TRUE. If
Feature.bit27 = FALSE (default setting), the parameter FbkRun1 is not evaluated.
BitNr. Funktion/Features Default value

27 Contactor feedback supervision FALSE
FbkRun2
FbkRun2 1 = contactor feedback on direction 2 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
See FbkRun1
FbkPos1 (KWE1)
FbkPos1 Limit position 1 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The FbkPos1 parameter is used to monitor the limit position "closed" of the damper. A 1-signal
at FbkPos1 means that the limit position "closed" has been reached. The connection of the
FbkPos1 parameter is made with the make contact of the position limit switch. The break
contact is switched directly in the contactor control circuit.

Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
With Feature.bit29 = TRUE limit position 1 is set to normally open. In this case
FbkPos1 must have 1-Signal if the limit switch is reached.
The limit position 1 is monitored in automatic mode and in manual mode.
● If a close command is given, the limit position 1 must be reached within the monitoring time
from pos1 to pos2 MovMonTi. If the monitoring time expires, the damper block creates the
alarm message 'Mechanical D1'.
● Once the damper has reached the position 1 it must not leave this position without any
command for more than the limit switch delay time LSDelTi. If the monitoring time expires
the damper block creates the alarm message 'Mechanical D1'.
FbkPos2 (KWE2)
FbkPos2 Limit position 2 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The FbkPos2 parameter is used to monitor the "open" limit position of the damper. A 1-signal
at FbkPos2 means that the "open" limit position has been reached. The connection of the
FbkPos2 parameter is made with the make contact of the position limit switch. The break
contact is switched directly in the contactor control circuit.

With Feature.bit30 = TRUE limit position 2 is set to normally open. In this case
FbkPos2 must have 1-Signal if the limit switch is reached.
The limit position 2 is monitored in automatic mode and in manual mode.
● If an open command is given, the limit position 2 must be reached within the monitoring
time from pos1 to pos2 MovMonTi. If the monitoring time expires, the damper block creates
an alarm message 'Mechanical D2'.
● Once the damper has reached limit position 2 it must not leave this position without any
command for more than the limit switch delay time LSDelTi. If the monitoring time expires
the damper block creates the alarm message 'Mechanical D2'.
IntPos1
IntPos1 1 = Internal limit position 1 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A 1-signal at parameter IntPos1 switches off the damper and an alarm “internal limit position
1” will appear in the alarm line.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
IntPos2
IntPos2 1 = Internal limit position 2 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A 1-signal at parameter IntPos2 switches off the damper and an alarm “internal limit position
1” will appear in the alarm line.
ElAvail (KSB)
ElAvail 1 = electrical availability ok Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
The ElAvail parameter is used to monitor the electrical availability of the damper. 0-Signal
disables the drive start in all operating modes and a running drive will be stopped.
If the damper is actuated in automatic mode or manual mode, 0-Signal at parameter
ElAvail stops the drive together with the alarm message' Available'.
Overload (KBM)
Overload 1 = thermal overload/mech. overload ok Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
The Overload parameter is used to monitor the overload of the damper (bimetal). 0-Signal
disables the drive start in all operating modes and a running drive will be stopped.
Overload stops the drive together with the alarm message 'Overload'.
AutModLo (KVO)
AutModLo 1 = field switch ready Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
The AutModLo parameter is used for the field switch of the damper.
By default, AutModLo is used as repair switch (local isolated). 0-Signal at parameter
AutModLo stops the drive in any operation mode.
Note
The behavior can be changed via feature bit options, e.g. if a position switch (1-Signal =
Automatic; 0-Signal = Local) is used. In this case, 0-Signal at parameter AutModLo enables
starting and stopping via field switch signals StrtLoc1, StrtLoc2 and StopLoc.

AutModLo stops the drive together with the alarm message 'Local'.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
StopLoc (KSP)
StopLoc 0 = local stop: field switch stop signal Basic state 1-Signal
Format BOOL
The StopLoc parameter is used to stop the damper in local mode. This is a break contact,
i.e. the 0-signal stops the damper
By default, the local stop StopLoc is active in all operating modes. If the damper is actuated
in automatic mode or manual mode, 0-Signal at parameter StopLoc stops the drive together
with the alarm message 'Local Stop'.
Note
The behavior can be changed via feature bit options.
StrtLoc1 (KCL)
StrtLoc1 1 = local start: field switch start signal dir. 1 Basic state 0-Signal
Format BOOL
The StrtLoc1 parameter is used to close the damper in local mode. A rising edge at
StrtLoc1 starts the damper in direction 1.
StrtLoc2 (KOP)
StrtLoc2 1 = local start: field switch start signal dir. 2 Basic state 0-Signal
Format BOOL
The StrtLoc2 parameter is used to open the damper in local mode. A rising edge at
StrtLoc2 starts the damper in direction 2.
Note
The local start pushbuttons StrtLoc1 / StrtLoc2 must be pressed continuously until the
FbkRun1 / FbkRun2 contactor feedback message arrives. For safety reasons, the signal is
not memorized.
Local start is only possible if the damper is switched into local mode.
Note
The behavior can be changed via feature bit options.
Feature bit options for Field switch (Local switch) signals:

3 Local start active in Automatic / Manual FALSE
4 Local stop active in Automatic / Manual TRUE
5 Local start only inching FALSE

6 Start-up warning in Local mode FALSE
7 No stop after switching from Local to Automatic / Manual TRUE
8 AutModLo is used as position switch FALSE
9 Local switch matrix KXK0 FALSE
10 Local switch matrix CAIMA FALSE
11 AutModLo = 0 forces damper to Local mode FALSE
12 Local switch matrix LOC_010 FALSE
Feature bits 3-12 can be used to adapt the Field switch signals to the requirement of the plant.
Default settings
● In the default settings signal AutModLo is used as a repair switch (must have 1-Signal in
all operating modes) → Feature.bit8 = FALSE.
At the same time Feature.bit9 and Feature.bit10 must be FALSE and
Feature.bit12 is not relevant.
● A rising edge at StartLoc starts the damper in Local mode. The damper will be actuated
continuously → Feature.bit5 = FALSE.
● Local start is only active if the Local mode is enabled → Feature.bit3 = FALSE.
● No start-up-warning is given in Local mode Feature.bit6 = FALSE.
● A falling edge at StopLoc stops the damper in Local mode. StopLoc is active in any mode
→ Feature.bit4 = TRUE.
If the damper is actuated in Automatic mode or Manual mode, 0-Signal at parameter
StopLoc stops the damper together with the alarm message 'Local stop'.
● Switching an actuated damper from Local mode to Automatic or Manual mode is possible
without interrupt → Feature.bit7 = TRUE.
● The Local mode needs to be enabled via operator station. The position switch does not
force the damper to Local mode → Feature.bit11= FALSE.
Possible settings via Feature.bit3-11:
With Feature.bit3 = TRUE the local start via StrtLoc1 or StrtLoc2 is always active
(also in Auto and Manual), when Feature.bit8 = FALSE and AutModLo = 1-Signal.
With this option the button for change into local mode is not shown in the faceplate. (Enable
from operator station not needed.)
With Feature.bit4 = TRUE the local stop button 'StopLoc is always active. StopLoc=
0-Signal will stop the drive in any mode.
If Feature.bit4 = FALSE, the local stop button StopLoc is only active in local mode.
Note
Feature.bit4 is not evaluated if Feature.bit9 or Feature.bit12 = TRUE.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
● With Feature.bit5 = TRUE the local start is not memorized and the Local mode is an
inching mode. As long as signal StrtLoc1 (or StrtLoc2) has 1-Signal the drive will be
started. StrtLoc1 (or StrtLoc2) = 0-Signal stops the drive.
● With Feature.bit6 = TRUE a start-up warning is created also in Local mode. Before
the start command is given to the contactor, output WarnAct is set for time WarnTi. The
start command at StrtLoc1 (orStrtLoc2) is not memorized, which means the start
button must be pressed continuously until the start-up warning is completed and the drive
is running.
● With Feature.bit7 = TRUE switching a running drive from Local mode to Automatic/
Manual mode does not stop the drive, if the interlocking conditions are fulfilled. This is only
possible if Feature.bit8 = FALSE.
Note
Feature.bit7 is not evaluated if Feature.bit19 ("StartAut" switches drive to
Automatic mode) = TRUE. In this case Feature.bit7 is considered as TRUE.
● With Feature.bit8 the evaluation of signal AutModLo is defined:

– If Feature.bit8 = TRUE, AutModLo is evaluated as position switch, where 1-Signal
means Automatic and 0-Signal means Local.
– If Feature.bit8 = FALSE, AutModLo is evaluated as repair switch and must have
1-Signal in all operation modes. In this case 0-Signal at AutModLo stops the drive.
● With Feature.bit9, Feature.bit10 and Feature.bit12 a special matrix is used
for the evaluation of the local switch signals. Only two signals are used to build the status
of 4 different local switch positions:
● With Feature.bit9 = TRUE, the matrix corresponds to former CEMAT Standard 024
(KXK0). The evaluation of the signals AutModLo and StrtLoc1/StrtLoc2 is as follows:
StrtLoc2 AutModLo StrtLoc1 Local switch position

(KY) (K0) (KX)
1 0 1 Auto
0 0 0 Local Stop
0 0 1 Local direction 1 *)
0 1 1 Local Start direction 1
*) for Stefan: between Local direction 1 and 2 is not distinguished.

(KOP) (KVO) (KCL)
0 1 0 Auto
0 0 0 Local Stop
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
● Feature.bit11 is only relevant if AutModLo is a position switch (if Feature.bit8 =

TRUE). With Feature.bit11 = TRUE, a 0-Signal at the position switch AutModLo forces
the drive to Local mode. As long as AutModLo has 0-Signal the drive can not be switched
into Automatic mode or Manual mode.
(KXKO) with LOC_010 = 1-Signal (with different logic for bi-directional drives and dampers).
The evaluation of the signals AutModLo and StartLoc is as follows:

(KY) (K0) (KX)
0 1 0 Auto
0 0 0 Local Stop

Format STRUCT
Protection signals must be connected to the protection interlock IntProt1 or IntProt2 of

1-Signal at interface IntProt1 or IntProt2 means status healthy, 0-Signal means faulty.
In case of a missing protection interlock IntProt1 of IntProt2 the damper indicates the
fault but there is no summarizing indication at the group and no entry in the status call.
If the damper is switched off via IntProt1 or IntProt2 the damper module does not gen‐
erate a fault message.
For this reason an annunciation block must be programmed for each protection signal.
Note
Always connect output OutSig of the appropriate annunciation block to the protection interlock
of the damper, in order to consider possible time delays or simulations for both, message and
damper interlocking.

TorqSw1 (KDR1)
TorqSw1 Torque switch direction 1 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A 1-signal at interface TorqSw1 means the torque switch has responded. Two different be‐
haviors can be configured:
● Wagging function is disabled (default setting: WaggEn = 0-Signal)
1-Signal at interface TorqSw1 resets the contactor on command ContOn1.
If the damper was controlled in automatic mode or manual mode, the damper will be
stopped together with the alarm message 'Torque D1'
● Wagging function is enabled (WaggEn = 1-Signal)
While moving into direction 1 in automatic mode or manual mode, 1-Signal at interface
TorqSw1 causes the damper to wag. The damper is again controlled to the old limit position
and makes a new attempt to move into direction 1. The number of attempts can be set via
parameter WaggNo. If after the maximum number of wagging attempts the damper has still
not reached the required limit position, the damper block creates the alarm message
'Mechanical D1'

Format BOOL
If a damper should be started externally the C_DAMPER is only used for monitoring purpose
and has no control function any more. In order to suppress the control and supervision functions
the damper block must be switched to “Monitor only”.
1-Signal at input MonOnly forces the damper into Local mode and suppressed all control and
supervision functions. Outputs ContOn1 and ContOn2 are forced to “0”.
No fault message is generated in this mode. Only the status of the damper is displayed.
The damper can be controlled from external. The damper shows “running” if FbkRun1 or
FbkRun2 has 1-Signal.
Note
If the damper is in Out of Service mode it will not be forced to local mode but it will show
“moving” if the damper was started.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.2.1 Interfaces for operation mode change

Beside the mode change via the damper faceplate, the operating mode can be changed via
program, either automatically via GR_LINK interface or individually via interfaces AutModOn,
ManModOn, LocModOn and OoSModOn.
The following feature bits are used for general enable or disable of the individual operating
modes:

For switching into manual mode via interface ManModOn or via GR_LINK, the interlocking level
is set according to the feature definition:

Note
Only one out of Feature.bits16 or 18 can be TRUE at the same time. If both
Feature.bits16 and 18 are set to FALSE, the damper will be switched into Manual mode
interlocked.
Mode change via program can be inhibited by setting the following feature bits to FALSE:

Feature bit to use GR_LINK interface for mode change:

If GR_LINK interface is used for mode change (Feature.bit25 = TRUE), no further

connection to AutModOn, ManModOn and LocModOn is needed. The mode change commands
from the group are automatically transmitted to the allocated drives/devices.
Note
Feature.bit25 of the corresponding group must be TRUE as well!
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
Using GR_LINK interface does not allow any individual or conditional connection. If this is
required, you have to use the interfaces AutModOn, ManModOn, LocModOn and
OoSModOn for the group-wise mode change.
Note
Out of service mode can not be selected via GR_LINK interface!
AutModOn
AutModOn 1 = switch to Automatic mode Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A rising edge at interface AutModOn switches the damper into the Automatic mode. This
interface is normally connected with group output AutModOn, in order to transmit the pulse
which is created through a button in the group faceplate.
Switching into Automatic mode is only possible if Feature.bit21 = TRUE.
Additionally, for switching into Automatic mode via AutModOn it is necessary that
Feature.bit2 = TRUE if the drive is currently in local mode, and that Feature.bit15 =
TRUE if the drive is currently in manual mode.
Switching from Out of Service mode to Automatic mode via AutModOn is only possible if the
block was not set to Out of Service mode via operator faceplate.
Note
The button text for the stop button in the faceplate of the drive can be configured via Property
Text 0. Default: Text 0 = Off
ManModOn
ManModOn 1 = switch to Manual mode Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A rising edge at interface ManModOn switches the damper into the Manual mode. This interface
is normally connected with group output ManModOn, in order to transmit the pulse which is
created through a button in the group faceplate.
Switching into Manual mode is only possible if Feature.bit13 = TRUE.
Additionally, for switching into manual mode via ManModOn it is necessary that
Feature.bit14 = TRUE if the drive is currently in automatic mode, and that
Feature.bit2 and Feature.bit14 = TRUE if the drive is currently in local mode.
Switching from Out of Service mode to Manual mode via ManModOn is only possible if the
block was not set to Out of Service mode via operator faceplate.
Note
The button text for the start buttons in the faceplate of the damper can be configured via
Property Text 0 and Text 1. Default Texts: Text 0 = D2, Text 1 = D1
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
LocModOn
LocModOn 1 = switch to Local mode Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A rising edge at interface LocModOn switches the damper into the Local mode. This interface
is normally connected with group output LocModOn, in order to transmit the pulse which is
created through a button in the group faceplate.
Switching into Local mode is only possible if Feature.bit0 = TRUE.
Additionally, for switching into local mode via LocModOn it is necessary that Feature bit
1 = TRUE if the drive is currently in automatic mode, and that Feature.bit15 and
Feature.bit1 = TRUE if the drive is currently in manual mode.
Switching from Out of Service mode to Local mode via LocModOn is only possible if the block
was not set to Out of Service mode via operator faceplate.
Note
Switching into local mode via LocModOn is not possible while the damper is actuated (moving).
OoSModOn
OoSModOn 0 = force to Out of Service mode Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
0-Signal at interface OoSModOn forces the damper into the Out of Service mode.
Note
Forcing to service mode has the highest priority and stops the damper!
StaByEn (ESTB)
StaByEn 1 = enable stand-by mode Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
In the philosophy of CEMAT-Standards only the active plant sections can generate alarm
messages. This means, if a damper at stop is faulty this is indicated in the symbol at the process
picture but there will be no alarm message.
A 1-Signal at interface StaByEn means that the damper is in Stand-by mode. In this mode
the damper is monitored for availability even under stand still conditions. If a fault occurs when
the damper is in Stand-by mode, an alarm message is generated.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
WaggEn (KWED)
WaggEn Wagging enable Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The wagging function is only possible for automatic mode and manual mode, inching and
positioning mode must be disabled.
The connection of wagging enable WaggEn with 1-Signal causes the damper to wag when
the run-time is exceeded or when the torque switch is activated. This means the damper returns
to the old limit position and makes a new attempt to move in the required direction etc.
The number of attempts depends on process parameter WaggNo 'Number of wagging opera‐
tions'. When the set number of wagging attempts is exceeded the damper signals a mechanical
fault.
When wagging enable WaggEn has 0-Signal the response of the torque switch leads to direct
switching off and the damper signals torque switch fault.
MsgEn (EMFR)
MsgEn 1 = enable messages Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
With 0-Signal at this interface the annunciation function is blocked.
Typical application:
In case of a control voltage failure for MCC or field signals, an alarm message would be
triggered for each sensor signal. To prevent this, you have to connect the control voltage signal
to the enable messages interface MsgEn of the damper block.
If MsgEn has 0-Signal, the damper block does not create any incoming or outgoing message.
The fault message for "control voltage failure" must be generated by an annunciation module,
which has to be engineered for this purpose.
Note
If MsgEn has 0-Signal the damper fault is not shown in the summarizing indication of group
and route and not listed in the status call.
Exception: If StrtAut1 or StrtAut2 has 1-Signal the damper fault is shown in the
summarizing indication of the group and route and it is listed in the status call.
MsgPrio
MsgPrio 0 =(ElAvail, Overload) 1 =(Overload, ElAvail) Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
By default setting the Electrical Availability ElAvail is higher prior than Overload.
The behavior can be reversed with 1-Signal at input MsgPrio.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
GrFltLck (EMZS)
GrFltLck 1 = don't include in group summarizing ind. Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A 1-Signal on GrFltLck prevents that the dynamic and static fault is passed to the group. In
the status call the damper fault can still be seen. This can be useful in case of selections. If
the damper is not selected it is not considered for the summarizing indications of the group.
GrStaLck (GFSO)
GrStaLck 1 = don't incl. in group sum. ind.+status call Basic state 0Ssignal
Format BOOL
1-Signal at GrStaLck completely deselects the damper for the Group Summarizing fault
and for the Group Status Call.
The function is similar to interface GrFltLck but the damper is excluded from status call as
well.
LampTest (ELPZ)
LampTest 1 = Lamp test Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
If one has several control desks with lamps and wants to test the lamps for each control desk
separately, one can connect the corresponding lamp test signal to this interface.
Note
Using LampTest the lamp test interface at the C_PUSHBT module must not be connected.
Ack (KQT1)
Ack 1 = acknowledge (additional) Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The acknowledgement of the damper fault is normally carried out together with the acknowl‐
edgement of any alarm within the same AS (default setting). Interface Ack is only needed for
individual acknowledgement (via push-button) or in case of group-wise acknowledgement.
A signal change from "0" to "1" at Ack acknowledges the damper fault (resetting flag
DynFlt).
In case of a conventional control desk, a push-button can be connected to Ack (for individual
acknowledgement) or to the acknowledgement interface at block C_PUSHBT can be used (for
AS-wise acknowledgement).
Note
Using Ack for individual acknowledgement, the acknowledgement interface at the C_PUSHBT
must not be connected.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
For group-wise acknowledgement connect the output AckGr of the corresponding group to
interface Ack of the damper. See Engineering Manual, chapter AS-Engineering.
Via Feature bit settings the internal acknowledge can be disabled, in order to allow exclusively
the acknowledgement via interface Ack:

27 Only Interface Ack for acknowledgement active FALSE
With Feature2.bit27 = TRUE only the interface Ack is active for acknowledgement.
Note
If additional Fault reset is enabled the fault status bits are not automatically acknowledged with
Ack. After clearing the fault the operator has to press “Fault reset” in the damper faceplate.
CmdInch1 (KHA1)
CmdInch1 Inching command (manual) D1 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
Interfaces CmdInch1 and CmdInch2 are effective only if inching enable InchEn is set to
1-Signal. They are used for manual positioning of the damper with +/- pushbuttons (via con‐
ventional control desk). Damper output ContOn1 is given only as long as interface
CmdInch1 has 1-Signal.
StrtAut1 (KEB1)
StrtAut1 1 = Start: command ON in auto. mode dir. 1 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal at interface StrtAut1 starts the damper into direction 1 in Automatic mode. The
interface is normally connected through the CmdOn signal of the associated group(s) or the
CmdOn signal of the associated route(s).
Note
Interface StrtAut1 should not be connected with a continuous signal as a damper fault can
then not be acknowledged! If a continuous signal is required, one must take care that the
StrtAut1 has signal zero when there is a fault.
Via feature bit setting the start command can be used to switch the damper to automatic mode:

Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
If Feature.bit19 = TRUE, a rising edge at StrtAut1 switches the damper to Automatic

mode.
Note
If Feature.bit19 = TRUE, the status of Feature.bit7 (No stop after switching from local
to auto/manual) is not evaluated. It is considered as TRUE.
Switching the damper from Local mode or Manual mode via to Automatic mode via
StrtAut1 is only possible if the corresponding feature bits are enabled.

StopAut (KAB1)
StopAut 1 = Stop: command OFF in automatic mode Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal at interface StopAut stops the damper in automatic mode. The interface is normally
connected through the permanent command off signal PeCmdOff of the associated group or
the command off signal CmdOff of the associated route.
Note
If a damper belongs to more than one group or route, it may be necessary to use the inverted
permanent command on signal PeCmdOn of the associated groups or routes. But in this case
it has to be considered that in this case a shut down interrupt is not possible.
CmdInch2 (KHA2)
CmdInch2 Inching command (manual) D2 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
See CmdInch1
StrtAut2 (KEB2)
StrtAut2 1 = Start: command ON in auto. mode dir. 2 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
If channel driver blocks are used, the information "one or more driver blocks have bad quality"
can be displayed in the damper faceplate and in the block icon of the damper.
In order to achieve this, the outputs Bad of the channel driver blocks must be connected with
an OR function to Interface DSigBQ.
DSimAct
DSimAct Driver-Signal(s) Simulation Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
If channel driver blocks are used, the information "one or more driver blocks are switched to
simulation" can be displayed in the damper faceplate and in the block icon of the damper.
In order to achieve this, the outputs SimAct of the channel driver blocks must be connected
with an OR function to Interface DSimAct.
Netfault
Netfault 1 = Network fault Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
If interface Netfault has 1-Signal, the Status "Network fault" is indicated in the damper
faceplate. The input has no influence in the functionality of the damper.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.2.2 SIMOCODE drives

If SIMOCODE is used, the communication between the damper block and the SIMOCODE
block is carried out via an adapter block (e. g. C_SIMOS). Information exchange between the
damper block and the adapter block is carried out via Structure input SimoStat.

2.2.4 User output function

Pulse output UserOut can be used as a reset command, as a toggle for a speed change (slow/
fast) or for any other purpose, defined in the application program. The output can either be
triggered via a button in the diagnosis view of the damper faceplate or via a positive edge at
input UserPulse.
The User output function must be enabled via feature bit:

29 User output (pulse) FALSE
Feature2.bit29 = TRUE enables the user output function. The diagnosis view of the
damper faceplate shows the status indication and the button.
OS Permissions for User button:

29 1 = Enable User button FALSE
UserFbk
UserFbk Feedback for User Pulse Basic state 0-signal

Format BOOL
The status of the UserFbk is displayed in the diagnosis view if the damper faceplate. A LED
shows the status of the input (0 = grey; 1 = green).
The text for the status display can be configured via property Text 1.
UserPulse
UserPulse Rising edge will trigger UserOut = 1 Basic state 0-signal

Format BOOL
TA rising edge at input UserPulse triggers output UserOut to 1 for one cycle.
The text for the User button must be defined via property Text 1 at this input.
2.2.5 Inputs for testing and as Interface to the OS
TEST_OSS
TEST_OSS Internal test value Default: 0

Format INTEGER
The test interfaces are only used during module development and must not be changed!
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
SimuStatus
SimuStatus Interface to set status for sequence test Default: 16#00

Format DWORD
SimuStatus contains the signal status in sequence test mode and must never be connected
or changed.
DisSeqTest
DisSeqTest 1 = Disable sequence test for this object Default: 16#00

Format BOOL

Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.2.6 Process Parameters for starting and stopping

The process parameters can either be set in the CFC during engineering and/or modified by
the operator, if the operator has the corresponding OS Permission:

31 1 = Operator can modify process parameters TRUE
Note
To permit the modification of the process values from the faceplates, they must not be
connected in the CFC.
FbkMonTi
FbkMonTi Time for feedback on monitoring Default: 2

Format INTEGER (0 – 999)
Value in seconds
The contactor feedback supervision must be enabled via Feature.bit27. By default it is
disabled because in most of the plants there is no contactor feedback supervision for dampers.

The time for feedback monitoring FbkMonTi is used for the supervision of the contactor
feedback during the start-up of the drive. By default the value is preset to 2 seconds. The time
value can be increased if necessary.
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the time for feedback
monitoring.
Note
The minimum feedback monitoring time is 2 seconds.
For switching off, the feedback monitoring time is always 2 seconds (adaptation not possible).
If an already running drive loses the contactor feedback, FbkMonTi is not considered and the
drive will be stopped immediately.
MovMonTi
MovMonTi Monitoring time from pos1 to pos2 Default: 90

Format INTEGER (0 - 999)
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
Value in seconds
In normal control mode (automatic or manual mode), after giving contactor on command
ContOn1 or ContOn2 the corresponding limit position must be reached within time MovMonTi.
In Local mode and in inching mode MovMonTi is not evaluated.
In positioning mode, the setpoint must be reached within time MovMonTi.
The parameter MovMonTi must be adjusted depending on the damper run-time. The set time
applies to both directions. With the value 0 the run-time monitoring is switched off in all oper‐
ating modes.
If the time value is exceeded the damper block creates the alarm message 'Mechanical D1' or
'Mechanical D2'.
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the Monitoring time from
pos1 to pos2.
MovActTi (TM)
MovActTi Actuator runtime from pos1 to pos2 Default: 60.0

Format REAL (0 - 999)
Value in seconds
This is the run-time for the damper to travel from one limit position to the other. It has an effect
on the length of the pulses to be output. In contrast to the run-time monitoring, which is always
set as a higher value, you must enter the actual run-time here.
LSDelTi
LSDelTi Time Limit switch delay Default: 2

Value in seconds
If the damper leaves the limit position without any command, this is interpreted as a mechanical
fault and leads to the alarm message 'Mechanical D1' or 'Mechanical D2'. This monitoring is
delayed by the set time.
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the limit switch delay time.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
WaggNo
WaggNo No. of wagging operations Default: 0

Number of wagging attempts
Damper must be in automatic or manual mode, inching and positioning mode must be disabled
and wagging enable WaggEn must have 1-Singal.
If a run-time fault occurs (MovMonTi exceeded) or the torque switch TorqSw1 (or TorqSw2)
is activated, the damper returns to the start position and then tries to run again in the required
direction. This process is called wagging. The number of wagging attempts can be set here.
After an unsuccessful number of wagging attempts, the damper block creates the alarm mes‐
sage 'Mechanical D1' or 'Mechanical D2'.
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the no. of wagging oper‐
ations.
WarnTi
WarnTi Time for startup warning Default: 10

Format INTEGER (0 – 999)
Value in seconds
The Time for start-up warning WarnTi is used in case starting the damper in manual mode.
In automatic mode the start-up warning is given by the group. In local mode, normally no start-
up warning is needed because the operator has visual contact to the machine.
The timer starts after the manual start command is given. For the duration of this time the
module output WarnAct is set, while the drive start is delayed. With output WarnAct you have
to trigger the start-up warning.
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the time for start-up warn‐
ing.
There is an option to trigger the startup warning in local mode as well, using the same timer.
This function must be enabled by a feature bit:

6 Start-up warning in local mode FALSE
Feature.bit6 = TRUE will trigger the start-up warning also in case of a local start command
StrtLoc1 (or StrtLoc2) and the contactor ON command ContOn1 (or ContOn2) is delayed
by this time.
Note
For security reasons the local start command is not memorized and the button must be pressed
continuously until the timer WarnTi has elapsed and the drive is running.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.2.7 Enable Safe Position

The damper can be controlled to a “safe position”, dependent on a plant condition.

With Feature.bit.12 = TRUE the function is enabled. The safe position is configured via
block input SetSPos and the command is given via input ActSPos..
SetSPos
SetSPos Set safe position: 0=Pos1; 1=Pos2 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
With input SetSPos the safe position of the damper is defined:
0 = Position 1
1 = Position 2
ActSPos
ActSPos 1 = go to safe position Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A rising edge at input ActSPos switches the damper to automatic mode and controls it to the
“safe position”, which is defined at SetSPos input.
As long as input ActSPos has 1-Signal the damper will be forced to automatic mode and to
the safe position. Mode change is not possible any more.
Note
For the control in to the safe position the process interlocks are not considered any more.
Protection interlocks and torque switches are still evaluated.
2.2.8 Inching and positioning function

The following parameters refer to inching and positioning function of the damper. Except
InchEn, all of them are invisible by default and must only be used if the positioning function
is required.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
InchEn (KTFG)
InchEn Enable Inching Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
To position the damper (through positioning function of the damper or manually via +/- push‐
buttons) parameter InchEn must have a 1-Signal.
A 1-Signal at interface InchEn blocks the control via StrtAut1 and StrtAut2 as well as
the control in manual mode.
PosMoEn (KPOS)
PosMoEn 1 = Positioner mode enable Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
For dampers with positioning functions the interfaces PosMoEn and InchEn must be connec‐
ted with a 1-Signal and an actual value for the damper position (0-100%) must be connected
to the damper module using parameter PosVal. If you want to inch the damper outputs directly,
then interface PosMoEn must have 0-Signal and interface InchEn must have 1-Signal.
SP_TrkEn (KSNF)
SP_TrkEn 1 = Setpoint tracking On Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
Only for dampers with positioning function!
In the operating mode positioning, the setpoints track each other. If SP_TrkEn = 0, the
setpoints are not tracked to the actual value.
SP_Int (W_OS)
SP_Int Internal setpoint for operation Default: 0.0

Format REAL
Internal setpoint from HMI.
SP_LoLim (KWUG)
SP_LoLim Setpoint Low limit Default: 0.0

Format REAL
The default setting corresponds to Scale high value SP_OpSca.High for the setpoint of the
damper position.
SP_ExEn (KWEE)
SP_ExEn 1 = Enable external setpoint Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
Only for dampers with a positioning function!
When interface SP_ExEn has a 1-signal the damper module reads the setpoint from input
interface SP_Ex.
This function is used if the setpoint is specified by a primary controller. In this case, one must
connect the output of the corresponding controller to interface SP_Ex of the damper.
SP_Ex (KWEX)
SP_Ex External setpoint

Format STRUCT
Only for dampers with positioning function and only effective if SP_ExEn has 1-Signal!
In order to transmit the setpoint from a primary function (e. g. Controller), the output of the
controller must be connected to input SP_Ex of the damper.
SP_Ex.Value Value Default: 0.0
Format REAL
SP_Ex.ST Signal status Default: 16#FF

Format STRING
Unit of the setpoint of the damper position.
PosVal
PosVal Position input value (0-100%)

Format STRUCT
The interface PosVal must be connected with the damper position (actual value of the posi‐
tioner).
Note
The value must be 0-100!
PosVal.Value Value Default: 0.0
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
Format REAL
PosVal.ST Signal status Default: 16#FF
Format BYTE
PosValLZ
PosValLZ Position value live zero Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The PosValLZ interface must be connected with the live zero signal of the analog value for
the damper position, so that the damper recognizes that the position value is erroneous.
Note
The signal status of the structure variable PosVal.ST is only used for display and does not
stop the damper positioning. Therefore you must additionally connect output LZ of the measure
to input PosValLZ of the damper positioner.
CalibrOK
CalibrOK Calibration OK Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
After a successful calibration CalibrOK is set to 1-Signal and CaliPos1 and CaliPos2 are
used for the calculation of the damper position.
Note
Only if Feature.bit31 = TRUE the calibrated position values are used!
MinPulTi (TMIN)
MinPulTi Minimum pulse length time Default: 0.5

Format REAL (0.0 - 9.9) Value in seconds
Here, the smallest pulse width to be output as damper commands is set. This pulse width must
be longer than the cycle time.
DeadzoH (AN)
DeadzoH Switch on of the dead zone high Default: 1.0

Format REAL (0.0 - 9.9) Value in %.
This is the beginning of the dead zone. If the deviation exceeds this percentage value the
positioner starts to output pulses.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
DeadzoL (AB)
DeadzoL Switch off of the dead zone low Default: 1.0

Format REAL (0.0 - 9.9) Value in %.
This is the end of the dead zone. If the deviation is smaller than this percentage value the
positioner does not output further pulses.

2.2.9 User specific adaptations
UserStatus
UserStatus User Status Bits Default: 00#16

Format WORD
If additional information is needed, e. g. for indications in the diagnostic window of the damper,
this information can be transmitted via one of the User Status Bits. For the display in the HMI
the faceplate must be adapted accordingly.
Note
Make sure that modifications in standard faceplates are documented and saved. CEMAT
updates will overwrite your modifications.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.2.10 User Faceplate call
SelFp1 (UserFace)
SelFp1 Call User Faceplate 1

Format ANY
Input SelFp1 can be connected to any block which has an OS interface (faceplate). If a block
is connected, an additional button "U" (User) appears in the faceplate of the drive block. With
this button the faceplate of the connected block can be opened..
Example:
In order to show the related signals for the damper, input SelFp1 can be connected to block
C_RelMod (for a list of up to 16 objects) or, if fewer signals are used, it can be directly connected
to an Intlk02 or Intlk04.
Note
The button description for the User Function button in the standard faceplate is fixed, but the
tooltip text can be entered via Property 'OS additional text'. Default value can not be configured
as a property of the block input. Value can only be defined in the CFC.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.2.11 Process parameters for Maintenance function:

The process parameters for Maintenance function are normally entered via Operator
Faceplate. In order to modify the maintenance parameters and in order to start the
maintenance function a special OS Permission is needed:

16 1 = Operator can start the maintenance function TRUE
With OS_Perm.bit16 = TRUE the operator can start the maintenance interval.
MaiInt (MAI_INT)
MaiInt Maintenance Interval Default: 16#00

Format DWORD
The Maintenance Interval relates, depending on the parameterization, to a fixed time value,
to the operating hours or to the number of starts. If the Maintenance Interval is exceeded the
output MaintAL will be set.
With OS_Perm.bit16 = TRUE the operator is permitted to the change the Maintenance
Interval.
MaiRL (MAI_REQL)
MaiRL Maintenance Request Limit Default: 16#00

Format DWORD
The Maintenance Request Limit can be used in order to indicate to the operator that the Main‐
tenance Interval will be completed soon. If the Maintenance Request Limit is exceeded, the
output MaintRQ will be set.
With OS_Perm.bit16 = TRUE the operator is permitted to the change the Maintenance
Request Limit.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.2.12 OS Permissions and Features:
OS Permissions and Features:

Via Feature bits certain functions of the CEMAT block can be enabled and disabled and the
behavior of the block can be configured.
Via OS Permissions operator actions can be enabled or disabled.
Due to safety reasons it is not possible to change the status of the Feature bits and OS
Permissions online. The CEMAT block C_DAMPER works with an internal memory which is
only refreshed in configuration state
● if it is called for the first time in the program or
● during restart of the AS or
● if the block is in Out of Service mode or
● in sequence test mode (PIN protected)
Note
If the block is in normal operation (none of the above mentioned situations) the inputs
Feature, Feature2 and OS_Perm are only read from the internal memory.
The HMI always shows the status of the internal memory.
Modification of Feature bits and OS Permissions:

The modification of Feature bits and OS Permissions is only possible in configuration state.
Only the Feature bit settings which are consistent (without error, ErrorNum = 0) are accepted.
Note
For a running plant this means that for any modification of Feature bits or OS Permissions the
module must be set to Out of Service mode.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
General settings at the Feature Master:

It must be distinguished between Features and OS Permissions which define the general
operation or programming philosophy of a plant and Features and OS Permissions which
enable instance specific functions.
● Features and OS Permissions which define the general plant philosophy should be identical
in all instances of the block.
The Feature Master block C_M_DAMPER (installed in the System Chart) enables the
selection and configuration of the relevant Feature bits and OS Permission bits (once per
block type).
In configuration state these bits are transferred to the block inputs Feature, Feature2
and OS_Perm, and thus cannot be configured individually per instance. (See Engineering
Manual, chapter AS-Engineering)
● The Feature bits and OS Permission bits which are not selected at the Feature Master block
can be configured individually at each instance.
Note
Both, the Feature bit settings of the Feature Master block and the Feature bit settings at the
block input Feature and Feature2 are only transferred to the internal memory if they are
consistent (ErrorNum = 0).
FeatMaster
FeatMaster Use OS permission and Feature bits from master Basic state 1-Signal
Format BOOL
Input FeatMaster is set to “S7-link = false” (cannot be connected).
With 1-Signal at input FeatMaster, the selected bits of the Feature Master block inputs
Feature, Feature2 and OS_Perm are transferred to the CEMAT block, when the module
is in configuration state. These bits cannot be adjusted individually.
With 0-Signal at input FeatMaster the settings in the Feature Master block are not relevant
and all Feature bits and OS Permissions must be adjusted individually per instance.
Note
In this case, make sure that the settings which normally come from the Feature Master are
consistent and correct.

2.2.13 Connection to EventTs

Via the following interface the CEMAT block can be connected to the APL-Block EventTs:
EventTsIn
EventTsIn Timestamp parameters

Format ANY
Via APL block EventTs additional messages can be created. The message class can be of
any type.
Connect the Output EventTsOut of the EventTs block to input EventTsIn of the C_DAMP‐
ER. The messages of the block EventTs get the tagname of the damper block. If the C_DAMP‐
ER is in “Out of Service” or if messages are disabled with MsgEn = “0”, the messages from the
EventTs block are suppressed.
Event text and message class must be configured in the Message Configuration of the EventTs
block. Free Text 1 cannot be entered in the message configuration in the CFC (because for
the attribute S7_alarm_ui = 1), but in order to be consistent with the CEMAT blocks Free
Text 1 can be modified in the process object view.
Note
Block EventTs must be installed in a Cyclic interrupt OB. The installation of block EventTs in
OB1 is not permitted and will not work!

2.3 Group and Object links
Group/Route links
Each drive block, annunciation block or measurement block must be linked to a group or route
in order to collect the status of these objects for summarizing indications.
The group link is essential for control and diagnosis and comprises the following functions:
● All objects, linked to the group (or route) are listed in the group (or route) object list.
● All objects, linked to the group (or route) are highlighted in the process picture with button
"Show related objects".
● The faults of all objects, linked to the group (or route) are included in the summarizing fault
indication of the group (or route).
● The warnings of all objects, linked to the group (or route) are included in the summarizing
warning indication of the group (or route).
● In case of a dynamic fault during the startup of the group, the group start will be interrupted.
A damper can be linked to two groups or routes via GR_LINK1 and GR_LINK2. If a damper
belongs to more than two groups or routes the additional block C_MUX must be inserted, which
provides 5 additional link interfaces.
Note
The main group (or main route) should be connected to GR_LINK1! This is the one which is
opened with a click on button "Main group" in the damper faceplate.
Via additional feature bit settings, control commands can also be transmitted through the group/
route link interface.

28 GR_LINK Interface used for Not Empty from damper FALSE
● With Feature.bit25 = TRUE the mode change commands from the group or route are
automatically transmitted to the allocated drives/devices. No further connection to
AutModOn, ManModOn and LocModOn is needed. Of course, the permission for the
individual modes must be available and Feature.bit25 of the group or route must be
TRUE as well.
See also "Interfaces for mode change".
Note
Out of Service mode can not be selected via GR_LINK interface!
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
● With Feature.bit26 = TRUE the mode information of the drive/device is automatically

transmitted to the allocated group. No further connection of LocalAct to FbObjLoc,
ManuAct to FbObjMan and OoSAct to FbObjOoS is needed.
● With Feature.bit28 = TRUE the information "not empty" is transmitted via GR_LINK to
the allocated group. This bit must be set for all devices related to the material transport. No
further connection of the dynamic fault bit DynFlt to group input MatFlt is needed.
GR_LINK1
GR_LINK1 Link to group or route

Format STRUCT
The GR_LINK1 interface of the damper must be connected with the R_LINK interface of the
route or with the G_LINK interface of the group.

MUX_LINK
MUX_LINK Link to C_MUX

Format STRUCT
If the damper belongs to more than two different routes or groups, the C_MUX module must
be series-connected. C_MUX has 5 inputs (GR_LINK1 to GR_LINK5) for connection with the
groups/routes and one output (MUX_OUT) for connection with the MUX_LINK interface of the
damper.
Note
If a C_MUX block is used, the programming order is very important. The C_MUX must be called
before the damper block!
If the same C_MUX block is connected to more than one object (e. g. the damper and
annunciations and measures of the same equipment), it is essential that no different group link
(or C_MUX) is programmed between those objects.

Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.3.1 Example of a circuit:
Note
Check the runtime sequence! The C_MUX module must be called before the damper. For the
other modules the run sequence is as follows: first the drives/devices, then the associated
routes and finally the associated groups.
Note
Some people use one C_MUX block and connect its output to a number of drives/devices,
annunciations and measurements.
If you do so, make sure that the C_MUX is called before all the other objects and that no other
C_MUX call comes in between.
We don't recommend using the same C_MUX if the blocks are located in different runtime
groups.
Damper C_DAMPER
Operating principle
2.3.2 Object links to slave objects

Annunciations, measurements and process feedback blocks which belong to a drive don't need
to be linked to the group (or route), if they are connected via Object link to the damper output
O_LINKQ.
The damper block collects the information and forwards it to the group (or route). The result
is as follows:
● All objects, linked to the damper are listed in the damper object list and in the group (or
route) object list (one level below the damper).
● All objects, linked to the damper are highlighted in the process picture with button "Show
related objects".
● The warnings of all objects, linked to the damper are included in the external warning
indication of the damper and in the summarizing warning indication of the group (or route).
● The faults of all objects, linked to the damper are included in the external fault indication of
the damper and in the summarizing fault indication of the group (or route).
● In case of a dynamic fault during the startup of the group, the group start will be interrupted.
● Block icons for Option 4: The warnings of all objects, linked to the damper are indicated by
yellow color of the Block icon (HAC).
Note
It is not allowed to use the Object link and the group/route link at the same time: If O_LINK is
used, GR_LINK1 and GR_LINK2 or C_MUX must not be connected!

If a CEMAT object is programmed in a different AS than the superordinated group a direct link
between the damper and the group is not possible. In this case special send and receive blocks
must be inserted which collect the object data and transmit it to the group.
In the AS of the group the group output G_LINK is connected to input G_LINK of the block
C_RECV_G.
Note
C_RECV_G can only be linked to a C_GROUP module. Linking to routes is not permitted and
will not work!

Message characteristics
In case of a warning device the message class for those message IDs must be changed to
“Warning - high" and the Feature2.bit2 must be configured.
BitNo. Funktion/Features Default value

2 Warning mode active FALSE
Feature2.bit2 = TRUE changes the block to warning mode. This results in a yellow
indication for Group status call and block icon and the group start is not interrupted by a trip
of this damper.
The operating messages for “Local start D1”, “Local start D2” and “Local stop command” are
only created if Feature2.bit0 = TRUE.
BitNo. Funktion/Features Default value

0 Local start and stop operation messages FALSE
Each message is classified (Fault class).

This shows whether an electrical fault (E), a mechanical fault (M), a process fault (P) or a shut-
down with a local safety switch (S) applies, or whether it is an operation message (O).
● An electrician does not always need to be called first.
● The production operator can give specific instructions.
Still faulty message:
During start in automatic mode, any failure which inhibits the actuation of the damper leads to
an interrupt of the start procedure and must therefore be reported by an alarm message.
PCS7 can create the (incoming) alarm message only once and does not support the repetition
of incoming alarm messages without outgoing message. For this reason, CEMAT creates a
Message “Still faulty” for any alarm message which needs to be repeated. In CEMAT Minerals
Automation Standard, as additional information, the fault type is added to the “Still Faulty”
information, e. g. “Available Still Faulty”.
The current operational state of the object is automatically taken into consideration during the
fault analysis. All fault annunciations (except contactor feedback) are suppressed
automatically if the damper is not actuated.
● no superfluous fault annunciations are created
● the operator does not need to manually disable/suppress any annunciations.
Through connection of the control voltage signal to interface enable messages MsgEn, the
messages of the block are suppressed in case of a power failure (in order to avoid misleading
alarms and annunciation storm).
The C_DAMPER block analyses and faults and creates fault messages according to internal
priority logic. Only the fault source is annunciated and secondary messages are suppressed.

7 Torque D1
7 Torque D2
8 Local stop
9 Simocode 4*)
1*) Via Plausibility logic only one of three indications (Available, Overload or Local) is given.
All other indications are shown simultaneously.
2*) The priority between Available and Overload can be reversed via 1-Signal at input
MsgPrio.
3*) If the motor is not running, contactor feedback fault results in a dynamic fault.
Acknowledgement is not possible as long as a contactor feedback is present.
4*) The messages for "Process feedback fault", "Protection fault" and "Simocode fault" are
not created by the drive block itself, but by other CEMAT blocks (C_PROFB, C_ANNUNC and
C_SIMOS).

Operator Commands 6
Refer to the Variable details for the assignment of the command word COMMAND and external
command word ExtCmd (e. g. for Panel interface).
In case the block receives two commands in the same CPU cycle, the command from interface
COMMAND has higher priority.
Operator commands are restricted by the following criteria:
● Feature bit settings:
Via feature bits the complete function can be enabled or disabled.
● OS PermissionLog:
Via OS Permission it can be decided to allow or not to allow operator action.
The OS PermissionLog is build dependent on the OS Permissions and the actual status of
the object. (Example: Group start is enabled via OS Permission, but if the group is already
running completely the OS_PermLog = FALSE and the button “start” is disabled).
● Operation authorization levels
Via WinCC User Administration Operation authorization levels are defined. Each user gets
the permission to operate certain levels in certain areas.
The currently logged in user can carry out any operation belonging to this level.
● The Operation authorization level for each type of operation is defined at the block
parameters in the CFC and can be modified. This allows modular (instance specific)
adjustments for individual operator commands.
If additional authorization levels are defined in WinCC, operation can be permitted to
restricted personnel only.
