Valve C_VALVE
4 Function Manual, 07/2016
Function 1
Type/Number
Module name: C_VALVE

Module no.: FB1007
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).
Valve C_VALVE
Function
1.1 General Function description
Operating modes
Module Type C_VALVE can be used to control all kind of Valves. Open/close commands can
be given in three different operating modes:
● In "automatic mode" the valve is opened/closed by a superordinated group module.
All process interlocks and protection interlocks are effective.
● The "manual mode" allows individual control via operator faceplate of the valve.
Different interlocking levels exist, which must be configured via Feature bits.
● In "local mode" the valve can be opened and closed 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 → Local mode Manual mode

from ↓
Automatic + off yes yes
Automatic + energized No yes
to → Automatic mode Manual mode

from ↓
Local mode + off yes yes
Local mode + energized yes *) yes *)
to → Automatic mode Local mode

from ↓
Manual mode + off yes yes
Manual mode + energized yes *) no
*) keeps energized if the interlocking conditions are OK

Operating mode change can be achieved, dependent on Feature bits and OS permissions
● only via the valve 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".
Valve C_VALVE
Function
Standard Signals
The following standard signals are monitored by the Valve block:
● Contactor feedback FbkRun in conjunction with the contactor output ContOn
● Limit Position FbkPos1 (closed)
● Limit Position FbkPos2 (open)
● Electrical availability ElAvail
● Overload or Bimetal Overload
Note
Limit Positions:
Per definition the limit position FbkPos1 is "closed" and the limit position FbkPos2 is open,
but it can be configured, which is the active (energized) direction.
The valve block is able to handle valves with two limit positions, with a single limit position or
without limit positions. In case of a single limit position, the position switch for the active
(energized) position switch must exist.
Additional field 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 StartLoc (Start local)
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 valve is in automatic or in manual mode and the valve is energized, 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.
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.
Valve C_VALVE
Function
Limit Position switches

By default, when the valve is energized, the position 2 (open position) must be reached. The
behavior can be changed via feature bit options.
BitNr. Function/Features Default value

29 Normally open valve (direction 1 active) FALSE
WithFeature.bit29 = TRUE, the position 1 (close position) must be reached when

energizing the valve.
With Feature.bit29 = FALSE: direction 2 is active (default setting)

Protection Signals
If additional protection interlocks exist for the valve, 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 valve in case of a fault an output of the annunciation block has to be connected to the
protection interlock of the valve.
● Protection interlock IntProtG effective in all modes

The protection interlock IntProtG is effective in all modes (Automatic mode, all manual
modes and local mode).
Process interlocks
Process interlocks can be used in order to enable or disable the valve operation 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 IntStart

● Essential start interlock IntStaE
● Operating interlock IntOper
● Essential operating interlock IntOpE
● Stop interlock IntStop
The following table gives an overview which interlock is effective in which mode. This must be
considered also in case of an operation mode change.
Operating mode IntStart IntStaE IntOper IntOpE IntStop

Automatic X X X X X
Manual interlocked mode X X X X **)
Manual mode with reduced interlocks X X **)
Manual mode non-interlocked **)
Local mode X *) X *)
X = effective
*) the evaluation of the essential interlocks in local mode can be disabled via Feature bit
settings.
Valve C_VALVE
Function
**) the evaluation of the stop interlock IntStop in manual mode can be enabled via feature
bit settings.
Sporadic mode
The sporadic mode allows opening and closing of the valve dependent on a process condition.
With the start command in automatic mode (group start command) the valve gets "activated"
and will then be ready for open/close via interface "Sporadic":
● Sporadic ON/OFF Sporadic only in auto mode and in manual mode
Process parameters
Through process parameters the following values can be configured online:
● FbkMonTi (s) TTime 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; valve must not drift away from limit position
● StaDelTi (s) Time after automatic start command is given and interlocking con‐
ditions are fulfilled
● StpDelTi (s) Time after automatic stop command is given and interlocking con‐
ditions are fulfilled
● WarnTi (s) Start-up warning time for manual mode and local mode (if enabled)
Valve C_VALVE
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)
Position Signal is created
● Manual mode is non-interlocked (only IntProtG active)
(Feature.bit16 = TRUE, Feature.bit18 = FALSE)
No Position Signal is created
● Manual mode with reduced interlocks (IntProtG, IntStaE and IntOpE active)
(Feature.bit16 = FALSE, Feature.bit18 = TRUE)
Position Signal is only created if Feature.bit27 = TRUE.
Note
Via Feature bits the preferred interlocking level is defined (when switching the valve into
manual mode via interface ManModOn or via GR_LINK). Possible modes are enabled via OS
Permission.

16 Manual mode Non Interlocked (only IntProtG active) FALSE
18 Manual mode Reduced Interlocks (IntProtG, IntStaE and IntOpE active) FALSE
27 PosSig also in Manual with Reduced Interlocks FALSE
Valve C_VALVE
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:
BitNr. Function/OS Permission Default value

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 valve TRUE
19 StartAut switches drive to Automatic mode TRUE
Out of Service mode

Switching the valve to Out of Service mode disables the entire block functions. The operation
of the valve 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.
Valve C_VALVE
Function
A valve 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 valve is
de-energized 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 valve to Out of Service mode at any
time and the valve will then be de-energized.
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 valve 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 valve TRUE
Valve C_VALVE
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_VALVE (located in the system chart). These settings can be applied to all instances
of the block type C_VALVE.
Valve C_VALVE
Function
1.4 Additional functions
1.4 Additional functions
SIMOCODE drives
If SIMOCODE is used, the communication between the valve block and the SIMOCODE can
be carried out via adapter block C_SIMOS or C_SIM_AD.
An additional button in the valve 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 valve 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 valve faceplate.
Valve C_VALVE
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:

30 Rapid stop exist FALSE
If Feature.bit30 = 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 valve can be provided at output LaStopRe and displayed in the
faceplate of the valve.
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
Feature2.bit19 = TRUE enables the function “Fault reset”

19 1 = Enable Fault reset FALSE
Valve C_VALVE
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.
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 pos2MovMonTi 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 active and idle position switch 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:

27 1 = Enable simulation of active position switch FALSE
28 1 = Enable simulation of idle position switch FALSE
OS_Perm.bit27 = TRUE allows the operator to switch on the simulation of the active
position switch.
OS_Perm.bit28 = TRUE allows the operator to switch on the simulation of the idle position
switch.
If the simulation is enabled for any of the limit position switches, the block icon changes to
orange color (simulation).
Valve C_VALVE
Function
Retain command in case of Feedback fault or Position fault

Using this option, a missing Contactor feedback or limit position fault leads to a fault message
but it does not influence the Contactor output ContOn. The Position outputs PosSig1 and
PosSig2 are created based on the status of ContOn.
Note
Be aware that the “Retain command” function may lead to uncertain plant operation, because
the real status of the valve is not secured any more.
The function must be enabled via feature bit setting:

12 Retain the last command if faulty FALSE
Feature2.bit12 = TRUE enables the ‘retain last command if faulty’ function. An additional
button is shown in the diagnosis window.
The enable button in the diagnosis window gets active if the corresponding OS Permission is
given:

26 1 = Retain the last command if faulty FALSE
OS_Perm.bit26 = TRUE allows the operator to switch into ‘retain last command’ mode and
back.
Valve C_VALVE
Function
1.6 Sequence Test
1.6 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 valve 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 and StartLoc a click on the
button changes the signal status (toggle function)
● Position feedback signals FbkPos1 and FbkPos2 and Contactor feedback signal
FbkRun can be forced to “0” in order to simulate a Feedback fault. (Contactor feedback
only matters if the feature bit is set)
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.

MAI_STA Maintenance Information
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle 2
2.1 Hardware inputs
FbkRun
FbkRun 1 = contactor feedback on Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The FbkRun parameter is used to monitor the contactor feedback of the valve in conjunction
with the contactor on command ContOn. (This is only sometimes needed, in case of very big
valves.) The monitoring time for motor start can be set via parameter FbkMonTi. The moni‐
toring time for switching off is always 2s. If an already running motor looses its contactor
feedback, the motor will be switched off immediately.
The contactor feedback is monitored in automatic mode and in the manual mode. If the mon‐
itoring time expires the valve will be de-energized with the alarm message 'Contactor feedback'.
FbkRun parameter must only be connected only if Feature.bit17 = TRUE. If
Feature.bit17 = FALSE (default setting), the parameter FbkRun is not evaluated.
BitNr. Funktion/Features Default value

17 Contactor feedback supervision FALSE
FbkPos1 (VE1)
FbkPos1 1 = Limit position direction 1 Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
The FbkPos1 parameter is used to monitor the limit position "closed" of the valve. A 1-signal
at FbkPos1 means that the limit position "closed" has been 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 valve block creates the
alarm message 'Move time'.
● Once the valve 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 valve block creates the alarm message 'Position lost'.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
FbkPos2 (VE2)
FbkPos2 1 = Limit position direction 2 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The FbkPos2 parameter is used to monitor the limit position "open" of the valve. A 1-signal at
FbkPos1 means that the limit position "open" has been 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 valve block creates
the alarm message 'Move time'.
● Once the valve has reached the 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 valve block creates the alarm message 'Position lost'.
ElAvail (VSB)
ElAvail 1 = electrical availability ok Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
The ElAvail parameter is used to monitor the electrical availability of the valve. 0-Signal
disables the valve start in all operating modes and an energized valve switched off.
If the valve is energized in automatic mode or manual mode, 0-Signal at parameter
ElAvail stops the valve together with the alarm message 'Available'.
Overload
Overload 1 = thermal overload/mech. overload ok Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
The Overload parameter is used to monitor the overload. 0-Signal disables the valve start in
all operating modes and an energized valve will switched off.
Overload stops the valve together with the alarm message 'Overload'.
AutModLo (VVO)
AutModLo 1 = field switch ready Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
The AutModLo parameter is used for the field switch of the valve
By default, AutModLo is used as repair switch (local isolated). 0-Signal at parameter
AutModLo de-energizes the valve in any operation mode.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
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 StartLoc/StopLoc.

AutModLo stops the valve together with the alarm message 'Local'.
StopLoc (VSP)
StopLoc 0 = local stop: field switch stop signal Basic state 1-Signal
Format BOOL
The StopLoc parameter is used to stop the valve in local mode. This is a break contact, i.e.
the 0-signal de-energizes the valve.
By default, the local stop StopLoc is active in all operating modes.
Note
The behavior can be changed via feature bit options.
StartLoc (VSR)
StartLoc 1 = local start: field switch start signal Basic state 0-Signal
Format BOOL
The StartLoc parameter is used to start the valve in local mode. A rising edge at
StartLoc energizes the valve.
Note
The local start pushbutton must be pressed continuously until the FbkRun position feedback
arrives. For safety reasons, the signal is not memorized.
Local start is only possible if the valve is switched into local mode.
Note
The behavior can be changed via feature bit options.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
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 valve to Local mode FALSE
12 Local switch matrix LOC_010 FALSE
Feature.bit3-12 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 valve in Local mode. The valve will be energized
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 valve in Local mode. StopLoc is active in any mode
→ Feature.bit4 = TRUE.
If the valve is energized in Automatic mode or Manual mode, 0-Signal at parameter
StopLoc stops the valve together with the alarm message 'Local stop'.
● Switching an energized valve 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 valve to Local mode → Feature.bit11 = FALSE.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
Possible settings via Feature.bit3-11:

● With Feature.bit3 = TRUE the local start via StartLoc 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 valve 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.
● With Feature.bit5 = TRUE the local start is not memorized and the Local mode is an
inching mode. As long as signal StartLoc has 1-Signal the valve will be energized.
StartLoc = 0-Signal stops the valve.
● With Feature.bit6 = TRUE a start-up warning is created also in Local mode. Before
the start command is given to the valve, output WarnAct is set for time WarnTi. The start
command at StartLoc is not memorized, which means the start button must be pressed
continuously until the start-up warning is completed and the limit position is reached.
● With Feature.bit7 = TRUE switching an energized valve from Local mode to
Automatic/manual mode does not stop the valve, 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 deenergizes the
valve.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
2.1 Hardware inputs
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:
● WithFeature.bit9 = TRUE, the matrix corresponds to former CEMAT Standard 024
(KXK0). The evaluation of the signals AutModLo and StartLoc is as follows:
AutModLo StartLoc Local switch position

(K0) (KX)
1 0 Auto
0 0 Local Stop
0 1 Local
1 1 Local Start
● WithFeature.bit10 = TRUE, the matrix corresponds to former CEMAT Standard 025

(Caima). The evaluation of the signals AutModLo and StartLoc is as follows:

(VVO) (VSR)
1 0 Auto
0 0 Local Stop
0 1 not relevant
1 1 Local Start
● 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
valve to Local mode. As long as AutModLo has 0-Signal the valve can not be switched into
Automatic mode or Manual mode.
● With Feature.bit12 = TRUE, the matrix corresponds to former CEMAT Standard 024
(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:

(K0) (KX)
1 0 Auto
0 0 Local Stop
0 1 Local
1 1 Local Start
Note
On order to have the same matrix chosen for the entire plant, Feature.bit9 and
Feature.bit12 should be set the same way for valves as for bi-directional drives and
dampers.

IntProtG
IntProtG 1 = protection Interlock ok

Format STRUCT
Protection signals must be connected to the protection interlock IntProtG of the valve. Miss‐
ing protections are indicated as valve fault (similar to the standard signals of the valve).
The protection interlock IntProtG is effective in all operating modes of the valve.
1-Signal at interface IntProtG means status healthy, 0-Signal means faulty.
In case of a missing protection interlock IntProtG the valve indicates the fault but there is
no summarizing indication at the group and no entry in the status call.
If the valve is switched off via IntProtG the valve module does not generate 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 valve, in order to consider possible time delays or simulations for both, message and
valve interlocking.

In order to avoid overfilling while stopping a conveying line it must be assured that the charging
device is stopped before the discharging device. This can be achieved via stop interlock
IntStop.
Connect the process condition for the sequential stop (e.g. the inverted RunSig of the charging
device) to interface IntStop of the discharging device. In order to program a stop delay, adjust
process parameter StpDelTi.

By default the stop interlock IntStop is effective only in Automatic mode. If the stop interlock
shall be effective in Manual mode as well, this can be achieved via feature bit setting:

3 Stop interlock in Manual mode FALSE
IfFeature2.bit3 = TRUE, the stop interlock is also evaluated in Manual mode. This applies
to all manual modes, but stop delay StpDelTi is not considered in Manual mode..
Sporadic (VSPO)
Sporadic 1 = sporadic on Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
The sporadic mode can be used in order to switch the valve on an off dependent on a process
condition, which may be a process signal or a timer, etc. The valve must once be started via
start command ON StartAut and will then follow the interface Sporadic.
0-Signal at interface Sporadic stops the valve without resetting of the command memory. The
valve remains activated and restarts automatically with 1-Signal at this interface.
To switch off the valve completely 1-Signal at StopAut or 0-Signal at IntOper or IntOpE is
required. If the valve is stopped by a fault, it must be restarted through the associated group.
Typical application:
In the silo aeration, the valves are started and stopped depending on a timer function.
Note
The valve status "OFF+activated" is indicated by a grey valve symbol plus additional indication
'SPO'.
The Sporadic ON/OFF function is made for operation in automatic mode, in order to switch
the valve on and off according to a process condition. If the valve is energized in manual or
local mode the status of interface Sporadic is ignored.
Valve start in Automatic mode:

→ Valve will follow interface Sporadic
Valve start in Manual or Local mode:

→ Valve will be energized in continuous mode (interface Sporadic not considered)
Nevertheless mode change is possible and therefore we must have a look at the behavior in
case of changing the operation mode:
Change from Manual, Local or Out of Service mode → Automatic mode:

→ Once in Automatic mode the valve will follow interface Sporadic
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
Change from Automatic mode → Manual:

→ If the valve is OFF and not activated it will change to continuous mode
→ If the valve is ON or OFF+activated it will stay in sporadic mode.
→ A manual start command will switch the valve from sporadic mode to continuous mode.
Change from Local mode → Manual mode:

→ In Local mode the sporadic on/off is not relevant and therefore the valve remains in
continuous mode
Change from Out of Service mode → Manual mode:

→ Switches the valve to continuous mode, valve is off (interface Sporadic not considered)
Change from Automatic mode → Local mode:

→ Switches the valve to continuous mode (interface Sporadic not considered any more)
Change from Manual mode → Local mode:

→ Switches the valve to continuous mode (interface Sporadic not considered any more)
Change from Out of Service mode → Local mode:

→ Switches the valve to continuous mode, valve is off (interface Sporadic not considered)
Change from Automatic, Manual or Local mode → Out of Service mode

→ Stops the valve
MonOnly
MonOnly 1 = Monitor only, operated by local box Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
If a valve should be started externally the C_VALVE is only used for Monitoring purpose and
has no control function any more. In order to suppress the control and supervision functions,
the valve block must be switched to “Monitor only”.
1-Signal at input MonOnly forces the valve into local mode and suppressed all the control and
supervision functions. Output ContOn is forced to “0”.
No fault message is generated in this mode. Only the status of the valve is displayed.
The valve can be controlled from external. The valve shows “moving” if FbkRun has 1-Signal.
Note
If the valve is in Out of Service mode it will not be forced to local mode but it will show “moving”
if the valve was started.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
2.2.1 Interfaces for operation mode change
Interfaces for mode change

Beside the mode change via the valve 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 two feature bits 16 or 18 can be TRUE at the same time. If all Feature.bit16
and 18 are set to FALSE, the valve 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:

Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
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!
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 valve 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 valve is currently in local mode, and that Feature.bit15
= TRUE if the valve 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.
ManModOn
ManModOn 1 = switch to Manual mode Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A rising edge at interface ManModOn switches the valve 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 valve is currently in automatic mode, and that
Feature.bit2 and Feature.bit14 = TRUE if the valve 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.
Valve C_VALVE

Note
The button texts for the start and stop buttons in the faceplate of the valve can be configured
via Property Text 0 and Text 1. Default Texts: Text 0 = Off, Text 1 = On
LocModOn
LocModOn 1 = switch to Local mode Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A rising edge at interface LocModOn switches the valve into the Local mode. This interface is
normally connected with group output LocModOn, in order to transmit the pulse which is cre‐
ated 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 valve is currently in automatic mode, and that Feature.bit15 and
Feature.bit1 = TRUE if the valve 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 valve is energized.
OoSModOn
OoSModOn 0 = force to Out of Service mode Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
0-Signal at interface OoSModOn forces the valve to the Out of Service mode.
Note
Forcing to service mode has the highest priority and deenergizes the valve!
StaByEn (VSTB)
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 deenergized valve 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 valve is in Stand-by mode. In this mode the
valve is monitored for availability even under stand still conditions. If a fault occurs when the
valve is in Stand-by mode, an alarm message is generated.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
2.2.2 Limit position switches

The valve block is able to handle valves with two limit positions, with a single limit position or
without limit positions.
In case of a single limit position, the position switch for the active (energized) position switch
must exist. Parameter NoFbk1 and NoFbk2 can be used in order to suppress the evaluation
of the non-activated limit position.
NoFbk1 (VKR1)
NoFbk1 No feedback position dir. 1 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
If Feature.bit29 = FALSE, the direction 2 is the "active" direction and the limit switch for
direction 2 must be available.
If the limit position switch 1 is not available you have to set the parameter NoFbk1 to 1-Signal
(no limit switch for direction 1).
NoFbk2 (VKR2)
NoFbk2 No feedback position dir. 2 Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
If Feature.bit29 = TRUE, the direction 1 is the "active" direction and the limit switch for
direction 1 must be available.
If the limit position switch 2 is not available you have to set the parameter NoFbk2 to 1-Signal
(no limit switch for direction 2).
If the valve has two limit position switches the parameters NoFbk1 and NoFbk2 must have 0-
Signal. In this case both positions are monitored.
If the valve has no limit position switches the parameters NoFbk1 and NoFbk2 have to be 1-
Signal. In this case the logic signals (PosSig1 / PosSig2) will be set after the run-time mon‐
itoring time "MovMonTi" is elapsed. If the monitoring time is set to 0, the logic signals will be
set directly with the output contactor (ContOn).
If the monitoring time from Pos1 to Pos2 (MovMonTi) = 0
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
MsgEn (EMFR)
MsgEn 1 = enable message Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
With 0-Signal at this interface the annunciation function is blocked.
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 message interface MsgEn of the valve block.
If MsgEn has 0-Signal, the valve 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 valve fault is not shown in the summarizing indication of group and
route and not listed in the status call.
Exception: If StartAut has 1-Signal the valve 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) Basic state 0-Signal

1 =(Overload, ElAvail)
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.
GrFltLck (EMZS)
GrFltLck 1 = do not 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 valve fault can still be seen. This can be useful in case of selections. If the
valve is not selected it is not considered for the summarizing indications of the group.
GrStaLck (GFSO)
GrStaLck 1 = do not incl. in group sum. ind.+status call Basic state 0-Signal
Format BOOL
1-Signal at GrStaLck completely deselects the valve for the Group Summarizing fault and for
the Group Status Call.
The function is similar to interface GrFltLck but the valve is excluded from status call as well.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
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 (VQIT)
Ack 1 = acknowledge (additional) Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The acknowledgement of the valve 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 valve 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.
For group-wise acknowledgement connect the output AckGr of the corresponding group to
interface Ack of the valve. 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 valve faceplate.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
StartAut (VBFE)
StartAut 1 = Start: command ON in Automatic mode Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal at interface StartAut starts the valve 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).
The valve is energized either immediately or delayed according to the set start delay time
(process value StaDelTi).
Note
Interface StartAut should not be connected with a continuous signal as a valve fault can
then not be acknowledged! If a continuous signal is required, one must take care that the
StartAut has signal zero when there is a fault.
Via feature bit setting the start command can be used to switch the valve to automatic mode:

If Feature.bit19 = TRUE, a rising edge at StartAut switches the valve 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 valve from Local mode or Manual mode via to Automatic mode via StartAut
is only possible if the corresponding feature bits are enabled.

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

Format BOOL
1-Signal at interface StopAut stops the valve 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.
The valve is switched off either immediately or delayed according to the set stop delay time
(process value StpDelTi).
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
Note
If a valve 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.
QuickStp (QSTP)
QuickStp 1 = Quick stop Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
In some situations it may be necessary to stop the drives/devices of a group instantaneously
(without stop delay). The connection of interface QuickStp with 1-Signal results in the imme‐
diate de-energizing of the valve in automatic mode (interface StopAut may have a delaying
effect).
In order to de-energize the valve immediately via quick stop function of the group, interface
QuickStp of the valve must be connected with group output QuickStpQ.
During ship loading, when a chamber of the ship is fully loaded, the ship moves slightly and
after this, loading must continue immediately. For this, the group must be stopped via quick
stop function (no stop delay), and after restart the already loaded belts continue to convey.
By default input QuickStp is only evaluated in Automatic mode. This can be changed via feature
bit setting:

23 QuickStp active in all operating modes FALSE
If Feature.bit23 = TRUE, the Quick Stop is active in all modes.
DSigBQ
DSigBQ Driver-Signal(s) Bad Quality 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 valve faceplate and in the block icon of the valve.
In order to achieve this, the outputs Bad of the channel driver blocks must be connected with
an OR function to Interface DSigBQ.
Valve C_VALVE

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 valve faceplate and in the block icon of the valve.
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 valve face‐
plate. The input has no influence in the functionality of the valve.

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 valve 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 valve
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 valve 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

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.bit17. By default it is
disabled because for most of the valves there is no contactor feedback supervision.

The time for feedback monitoring FbkMonTi is used for the supervision of the contactor
feedback during the start-up of the valve. 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 energized valve loses the contactor feedback, FbkMonTi is not considered and
the valve will be stopped immediately.
MovMonTi
MovMonTi Monitoring time from pos1 to pos2 Default: 90

Format INTEGER (0 - 999)
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
Value in seconds
In normal control mode (automatic or manual mode), after giving contactor on command
ContOn te valve module checks whether the required limit position has been reached within
the time MovMonTi. In Local mode MovMonTi is not evaluated.
The parameter MovMonTi must be adjusted according to the valve run time. The set time
applies to both directions (open and close).
If the time value is exceeded the valve block creates the alarm message 'Move time'.
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the Monitoring time from
pos1 to pos2.
LSDelTi
LSDelTi Time Limit switch delay Default: 2

Format INTEGER (0 - 999)
Value in seconds
In automatic or manual mode, if the valve leaves the limit position without any command, this
is interpreted as limit position fault and leads to the alarm message 'Limit position'. This mon‐
itoring is delayed by the set time.
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the limit switch delay time.
StaDelTi
StaDelTi Time for start delay Default: 0

Value in seconds
The Time for start delay StaDelTi is only evaluated in automatic mode and can be used for
staggered starting. The timer starts at the moment the start command StartAut is given and
the interlocking conditions IntStart, IntStaE, IntOper and IntOpE are fulfilled.
In manual mode and in local mode this time delay is not effective!
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the time for start delay.
StpDelTi
StpDelTi Time for stop delay Default: 0

Value in seconds
The Time for stop delay StpDelTi is only evaluated in automatic mode and can be used for
staggered switch-off. This is especially needed in case of conveying lines. The timer is trig‐
gered by a 1-Signal at stop command StopAut, if interface Stop interlock IntStop has 1-
Signal.
In manual mode and in local mode this time delay is not effective!
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the time for stop delay.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
WarnTi
WarnTi Time for startup warning Default: 10

Value in seconds
The Time for start-up warning WarnTi is used in case starting the valve 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 valve 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 startup warn‐
ing.
There is an option to trigger the start-up warning in local mode as well, using the same timer.
This function must be enabled by a feature bit:

Feature.bit6 = TRUE will trigger the start-up warning also in case of a local start command
StartLoc and the contactor ON command ContOn 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 limit position has been reached.

Operating principle
2.2.7 User specific adaptations
UserStatus
User Status Bits Default: 00#16

Format WORD
If additional information is needed, e. g. for indications in the diagnostic window of the valve,
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.
2.2.8 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 valve, 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.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
2.2.9 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 of 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 of the Maintenance
Request Limit.

2.2.10 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_VALVE 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.
Valve C_VALVE
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_VALVE (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 inputs 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.

2.2.11 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_VALVE.
The messages of the block EventTs get the tagname of the valve block. If the C_VALVE 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!
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
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 valve can be linked to two groups or routes via GR_LINK1 and GR_LINK2. If a valve 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 valve 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 valve 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!
Valve C_VALVE
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.

MUX_LINK
MUX_LINK Link to C_MUX

Format STRUCT
If the valve 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
valve.
Note
If a C_MUX block is used, the programming order is very important. The C_MUX must be called
before the valve block!
If the same C_MUX block is connected to more than one object (e. g. the valve and
annunciations and measures of the same equipment), it is essential that no different group link
(or C_MUX) is programmed between those objects.

2.3.1 Example of a circuit:
Note
Check the runtime sequence! The C_MUX module must be called before the valve. 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.
Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
2.3.2 Object links to slave objects

Annunciations, measurements and process feedback blocks which belong to a valve don't
need to be linked to the group (or route), if they are connected via Object link to the valve
output O_LINKQ.
The valve block collects the information and forwards it to the group (or route). The result is
as follows:
● All objects, linked to the valve are listed in the valve object list and in the group (or route)
object list (one level below the valve).
● All objects, linked to the valve are highlighted in the process picture with button "Show
related objects".
● The warnings of all objects, linked to the valve are included in the external warning indication
of the valve and in the summarizing warning indication of the group (or route).
● The faults of all objects, linked to the valve are included in the external fault indication of
the valve 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 valve 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 valve 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

Format STRUCT
A 1-Signal at output interface PosSig1 means "valve is in limit position closed" and the output
is mainly used as interlocking condition for the next drive/device and as a feedback to the
allocated route or group.
The behavior depends on the following feature bits:

PosSig2 (VVS2)
PosSig2 Limit Position 2 signal

Format STRUCT
A 1-signal at output interface PosSig2 means "valve is in limit position open" and the output
is mainly used as interlocking condition for the next drive/device and as a feedback to the
allocated route or group.
The behavior depends on the following feature bits:

Valve C_VALVE
Operating principle
● If Feature.bit29 = FALSE (default setting), limit Position 2 is the energized direction

and in this mode ignal PosSig2 is only created in Automatic mode and in Manual mode
interlocked.
● If Feature.bit29 = TRUE, limit Position 2 is the de-energized direction and in this mode
signal PosSig2 is created in all operating modes.
● If Feature.bit27 = TRUE the output PosSig2 is also created in Manual mode with
reduced interlocks.

DynFlt (VST)
DynFlt Dynamic fault (not acknowledged)

Format BOOL
When a fault while the valve is energized or during valve start up in Automatic mode or in
Manual mode, the dynamic fault bit DynFlt is set. It remains set until the fault is acknowledged.
If StaByEn has 1-Signal (valve is in Standby mode) the dynamic fault bit is also created for
de-energized valves.
Note
In the following cases the valve fault cannot be acknowledged:
● If the ON-command is permanently active;
● if the valve has not reached the de-energized limit position. (corresponds to welded
contactor in C_DRV_1D and C_DRV_2D)
Output DynFlt is used as message trigger of annunciation blocks (in case of drive fault
annunciations), see interface MsgTrigg of C_ANNUNC block or MsgTrig1 – MsgTrig7 of
C_ANNUN8 block.
Output DynFlt is also used transmit "not empty" information to the group in case of a trip of
a running equipment, see interface MatFlt of C_GROUP block. Only drives/devices which
are involved in the material transport are connected to interface MatFlt of the group.
The information can also be transmitted to the group via feature bit setting:

28 GR_LINK Interface used for Not Empty from valve FALSE
● If Feature.bit28 = TRUE the "not empty" information is automatically transmitted to the

group via GR_LINK connection.

Format BOOL
A 1-Signal at output Fault means that at least one fault is present.
LaStopRe
LaStopRe Last Stop Reason

Format STRUCT
The Last Stop Reason for the valve can be transmitted to output LaStopRe and displayed in
the faceplate of the valve. Any reason which results in a drive stop is memorized until the next
stop, independent whether it was caused by a normal stop command, a missing interlocking
condition or a trip.
The function must be enabled via feature bit setting.

If Feature2.bit11 = TRUE the stop code and the time is written to the output LaStopRe.
LaStopRe.Value Reason
Format INT

Structure variable LaStopRe.Value contains the code for the last stop reason. The texts are
defined in a dataset in @Overview1.pdl (Master_Stoptext_Dataset).
The following reasons may stop a valve.

WarnAct (HORN)
WarnAct Start-up warning in manual or local mode

Format BOOL
If the valve is started in Manual mode (via operator faceplate of the valve) the output
WarnAct is set to 1-Signal for the time for startup warning WarnTi. Output WarnAct must be
connected to a horn and/or lamp in the field in order to trigger the start-up warning (OR function
with the startup warning from the group).
The contactor output ContOn is created after the startup warning has elapsed.
Via a feature bit setting the startup warning can also be created in Local mode:

With Feature.bit6 = TRUE the output WarnAct is also created with local start command
StartLoc.
Note
For security reasons the local start command StartLoc is not memorized and the button must
be pressed continuously until the timer WarnTi has elapsed and the limit position has been
reached.
RunSigSp
RunSigSp Running signal sporadical valve

Format BOOL
For valves with sporadic ON/OFF function the output PosSig2 is not very useful as feedback
signal to the route or group.
Output Signal RunSigSp memorizes that the valve has been activated (even though it is not
energized at the moment because of 0-Signal at interface Sporadic). Output RunSigSp is only
generated in Automatic mode and in Manual mode (not in Local mode).
For sporadically energized valves connect RunSigSp to the group or route feedback.

BitNo. Function/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 valve.
Valve C_VALVE
Message characteristics
The operating messages for “Local start” and “Local stop” are only created if Feature2.bit0
= TRUE.
BitNo. Function/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 valve 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 valve is not energized.
● 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_VALVE block analyses and faults and creates fault messages according to internal
priority logic. Only the fault source is annunciated and secondary messages are suppressed.
Priorities for fault indications and messages:
Priority Fault type Plausibility Dynamic fault External alarm

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.
