1 SUMMARY
This document contains a detailed description of the following Loop objects:
· PIDCtrl
· PIDAdvCtrl
· RatioCtrl
· SplitRange
Loop objects are normally used in combination with:
· Analog Input (AIS)
· Group (Group, GrpCycleCtrl)
· Preselection Binary (Prebin))
· Consumer Objects (Actuator, MOT1_VVVF)
1.1 Loop Control connection

A structured Datatype LoopControlData is available with all Loop Objects and several
Consumer Objects, for building analog Control Loops with one Single Connection
between Blocks.
LoopControlData is split into Data transferred Forward, e.g. the Setpoint from PIDCtrl to
MOTP, and Backward, e.g. the Actuator Position. To have basic compatibility with the
Standard Libraries, the Control Part of Type ControlConnection is defined as additional
Level with its own Forward/Backward Part.

For a detailed Description of the ControlConnection Datatype, please refer the “AC800M
Binary and Analog Handling” Manual (3BSE035981).
Following Figure shows an example for a Cascade PID Loop with two Actuators in
SplitRange Configuration. Besides the Group and I/O Parameter Connections, only
Connections of type LoopControlConnection need to be used, e.g. to connect the Setpoint
from PIDAdvCtrl at OUTCC to the SplitRange In Port and from the SplitRange Out1 and
Out2 to the External Setpoint Reference Input on the Actuator Blocks:
LCC Cascade Loop:

Flow Setpoint
Flow Measured
Value (I/O) LCC Output Flow
PID Controller LCC Valve
Position Setpoints
Parameters of Type LoopControlConnection can only be connected from one Block

producing an Analog Setpoint or Value, e.g. a PIDAdvCtrl, to a Consumer of an Analog
Setpoint, e.g. an Actuator. The Consumer can itself have Output Parameters of Type
LoopControlConnection, connected to other Consumers, e.g. for a Cascade Control Loop,
but there must never be a Feedback Loop Connection in the Control Application.
LoopControlConnections can be transferred via Communication Variables between
Diagrams and Applications. There is however no inbuilt error handling for the Blocks
connected via LoopControlConnection in case of Signal Error (Timeout for the
transfer of the Communication Variable), but this must be added in the Application
Logic.
Range and Unit of the Setpoint can be transferred in both directions, where the Forward
Direction always takes priority if the Values differ. PIDCtrl and RatioCtrl Blocks allow to
overwrite the Range and Unit for the Output from the Faceplate as well.
The Actuator Position is transferred backwards as well and shown in the Faceplate for
information to the Operator as well. Range and Unit for the Actuator Position are always
defined equal to the Output Range and Unit.
Backtracking is an important Feature of the LoopControlConnection Concept. A Setpoint
Consumer always transmits the actually used Value in reverse direction so that the
producer can adjust for the Situation, to enable bumpless transfer between the Modes and
Anti-windup function in PIDAdvCtrl Control Loops.
Navigation between the Blocks connected by LoopControlConnection is available for the
Operator in the Faceplate. Any Alarm State of the Actuator with corresponding Color is
shown for the related Output Value in the Controller Faceplate as well.

1.1.1 Backtracking Examples

Weighfeeder Speed Control by PIDCtrl:
While the Weighfeeder is stopped (or tripped, local etc.), the PIDCtrl can stay in Auto
Mode but keeps the Weighfeeders’ Start Speed Setpoint (can be configured on the
Weighfeeder as constant, last Setpoint while running or set from the Application Logic).
The Output of the PIDCtrl will start changing again from the Start Speed Setpoint as soon
as the Weighfeeder is running again.
Title Loop Objects
Document number
If the PIDCtrl is in Manual Mode (Output Reference given in PIDCtrl Setpoint),

Backtracking can either overwrite the Manual Output Reference, or the PIDCtrl ignores
the Backtracking and continues with the given Reference Setpoint, depending on the
“Man Backtracking” Option set in the Faceplates “OUT Limits” Tab.
1.2 Operation
1.2.1 Graphic Elements: Bar

Presents the analogue value as bar graph. Alarm or process limits are graphical shown
and different bar graph appearances are possible. The Color of the Bar depends on the
indicated Value and can be customized, here the default for MV, green, is shown

Appearance Description Example
Standard
This is the standard appearance of the bar graph. The value will
0 be indicated in relation to the maximum and minimum range. The
green bar will always start from the minimum range.
Start from Pivot

1 Use this appearance to start the bar graph from another value
than the minimum range. The related property is “Pivot”.
Inverse
2 The bar will be inverse to the standard appearance.

2 PIDCtrl
2.1 Basic Description

The Control Module Type PIDCtrl is used as a loop PID controller with proportional,
integration time and derivation time parameters that can be tuned manually or
automatically. It also contains a CON_PU Pulse Controller for 3-state control.
The PIDCtrl module for closed loop control, has the following options:
· Auto tuning of control parameters P, I and D
· Feed forward control
· Anti wind up and limited Backtracking support
· 2 external set point references, that can be written from the application
· 2 external controller output references, that can be written from the application
· Limit supervision of measured value and deviation, with integrated alarm annunciation
· Alarm and event handling with 3 alarm priorities
· Set point high and low limitation
· Controller output high and low limitation
· Event logging for control mode changes and set point changes
· Balancing mode in case of Signal Error
· FF (Foundation Fieldbus) support: set FF Device to Cascade Mode automatically
when requested from faceplate or from the FF Function Block.
· Status of MV, ActuatorPos and OUTP signals. All Substatus for DP, PA and FF Field
Devices will generate error control when quality is Bad or Uncertain for MV and OUTP
· Threshold detection and eventing on 2 Process Limit levels (PLow, PHigh)
· Alarm disabling/enabling of each alarm limit individually (from application program /
Faceplate); generating events when blocked.
· Minerals Library Process Control Connection (PCC)
· Parameterized interlocks towards parent objects (MV and Deviation Limits)
· Advanced alarm disabling from parent objects
· Operator Station Interface (graphic element and faceplate) including detailed alarm
and interlock indications, separated between the object and its TagName

2.2 Control
2.2.1 Library location

The Control Module Type for PIDCtrl is located in the library BMIStandard, its
corresponding Structured Data Types are defined in BMIConstAndVar.
2.2.2 Modes
The PIDCtrl module has 2 different control modes Manual and Automatic, these modes
are selectable from the operator station. Additionally a Balancing Mode is provided to
handle Error State which is automatically triggered by Signal Error depending on the
Configuration.
The different control modes are:
Man: Loop Open
The controller output is set either from the operator station, via the faceplate (OUT) or
from the superior application program (E1M or E2M).
Auto: Loop Closed
The controller output is calculated according to the deviation between the set point and
the measured value, which means that the PID controller is regulating.
Set point can either be set from the operator station, via the faceplate (SP) or from the
superior application program (E1A or E2A).
While the PIDCtrl Module supports external Setpoints from the Application Logic, it can
not be used for Cascade Control Loops because of Limitations in the Backtracking
support. For Cascade Control Loops, the PIDAdvCtrl Module shall be used instead.
Balancing: Signal Error

The controller output is set to the Balancing Reference Value, in case the Process
Feedback Measured Value or the Output Signal is in Error, or from the Application
Logic. By Default, Balancing Mode is kept for 10 seconds only, this can be changed
with the Project Constant cBMI.PID1.ClampToBalWhileSigErr, to stay in Balancing
Mode until the Signal Quality is ok again.
2.2.3 Automatic Alarm Disabling with PCC

The MV and Deviation Alarms are automatically disabled depending on the PCC Parent
state. The Project Constant cBMI.Std_Type is used to configure the behaviour.
cBMI.Std_Type: 0
Motor is not running, NC Valve is closed, NO Valve is Open, for PCC connected to
Group: if Group is not started
cBMI.Std_Type: 1
Same as Std_Type 0 but always alarm on all Objects if Group is started and
Consumer preselected. In case object is standby preselected alarm priority is
automatically reduced from Failure to Warning.
PCCAEListFrcEn = true
Automatic alarm disabling switched off. This option shall be used in cases a signal
has to alarm independent from the status of its parent.

2.2.9 Behavior of PIDCtrl with MV Signal Error

Default Behavior in case of Signal Error (IO.Out.SigErr set) is to apply Balance Mode and
BalRef is applied to the Output. The Parameters SigErrBalCtrl and AfterBalMode can be
used to configure the behaviour.
For (forced) setting PCC Interlocks with Signal Error, use MV_ErrCtrl and MV_ErrVal
instead. Note that the Error Value will be applied internally for the MV Value only, and not
written outside to the MV Parameter unlike the AIS behaviour with ErrCtrl and ErrVal
Parameters.
2.2.10 PCC Interlock Limitations for PIDCtrl
PIDCtrl supports the PCC Interlocks according the Description in the Manual for Basic
Objects with the following exceptions>
PIDCtrl is not supporting the Option “Fast” assigned to MV limits and Deviation limits. If
any IntlkDir is configured with “Fast” (e.g. DirXFast, DirFBXFast), the Interlock will onlz
work as configured without Fast.
“Fast” interlock direction option will be removed from H2, H1, Phi, Plo, L1, L2, DEVH and
DEVL limits as in following example:
Shown and
executed as Dir
X Interlock
without Fast
Configured
With Fast
The “noAck” interlock direction option does not change the 22ehavior for Phi and Plo limits
since these limits do not support Alarms, so no Acknowledge is needed for these
Interlocks to release in the standard configuration already.

OUT Range
This Tab is only relevant in case the OUTCC is connected to a Block that does not feed
back the Range itself, like RatioCtrl or SplitRange. In these cases, the OUT Range can be
defined from the Faceplate by setting the “Override Range” Checkbox.
It is not allowed to connect both OUTCC and OUTP at the same time, as the
Parameters defined in OUTCC are written to OUTP as well. In case OUTP is
connected to a Hardware Output Channel directly, “Override Range” should not be
used as this will overwrite the Settings made in the Hardware Unit and leads to
problems on subsequent downloads because the Values will be overwritten from the
Channel again.

Reference Table, Par_PU2

Description
Con Pu In this mode, a three state controller intended to control, by mean of
pulses (increase, decrease), a process via an integrating actuator such
as a shifting motor or a solenoid valve.
Time Based In this mode, the Actuator Position is simulated according to the travel
time. If limit switches are reached or WorkingSetpoint is on the upper or
lower limit, the ActuatorPosition is adaptative corrected. This mode works
fine in cases where a PID control in Auto Mode is used as Working
setpoint.
Fix Pulse In this mode, increase and decrease may be manually controlled by 3
buttons (Inc, Dec, Stop) in the faceplate. Pulses with length of 1% of
travel time and period of 3% of travel time are sent to the IO’s as long as
increment or decrement is active. This mode is preferably used in cases
where INC/DEC are directly connected to the PID (e.g. speed controlled
drives)
Inc Connection to boolean signal for increasing the setpoint
Dec Connection to boolean signal for decreasing the setpoint
Stop Stop increase / decrease
F When the ConPu modes are changed from the faceplate, you must take into
control module instance with Control Builder, after changing the values from the
Faceplate.

2.3.8 Alarm & Event List

All consumer objects in the Minerals library are able to provide a list of alarms and events.
These are accessible via 2 buttons in the faceplate.
For the PIDCtrl the events that are tracked are for example, the mode changes (manual,
auto, auto external 1, auto external 2, manual external 1, manual external 2, balance
mode), forced conditions and actual value tracking which depends on the mode selection.
F Notice that the list you open from the faceplate will show only the alarms and events of
that PIDCtrl.
As an example, the following events happened in the PIDCtrl tag PID_09C_01.
§ Manual mode was selected with Out value in 10.0

§ Out value was changed from 10 --> 35.0
§ Mode was changed from Manual to Auto with setpoint at 45.0
§ Setpoint value was changed from 45.0 --> 55.0
§ External Auto Mode 1 was selected with IO.In.ExtRefAuto1 in 50.0
§ External Auto Mode 2 was selected with IO.In.ExtRefAuto2 in 60.0
§ External Manual Mode 1 was selected with IO.In.ExtRefMan1 in 10.0
§ External Manual Mode 2 was selected with IO.In.ExtRefMan2 in 20.0
Notice that the structure of the event message is always the same.
For the alarm list, differently from the event list, shows only the active alarm. This means
that when all alarm conditions are off the list will be blank.
The severity of the alarm can be changed thru the following parameters:
§ MV_Lim2Tr: Alarm treatment for L2 and H2 limits
§ MV_Lim1Tr: Alarm treatment for L1 and H1 limits
§ MV_PLimTr: Alarm treatment for Process (PHi and PLo) limit
§ DevTr: Alarm treatment for deviation limit
Following the same rule for Analog/Digital input and output objects, the following rule is
valid for the alarm treatment:
§ 3 (default): Not acknowledged alarm
§ 2: Not acknowledged warning
§ 1: Warning auto acknowledged
Title Loop Objects
Document number
F Notice that alarms for the PIDCtrl are created only in the following cases:
§ Two levels detection for the measured value
§ Process limit detection
§ Deviation alarm, where it calculates the deviation from the actual setpoint to the
measured value and checks if this values is higher than the limit defined in the
faceplate over Lim2 tab.
Object Status and Modes

Object status and modes are presented on the event list. When ever the object changes
its status or mode the complete information of the object at the time of the change is
logged in the event list.
The PIDCtrl event message has a dynamic structure, this means that it can change
depending on the case you have.
The first case regards to mode changes. When a mode is changed from one type to the
other, and event is set and the structure for that case is the following:
[MODE] + [Backtrack] + Value: + [MODE VALUE]
[MODE] Description
Aut Auto mode selected
Man Manual mode selected
E1M External Manual 1 mode selected
E1M External Manual 2 mode selected
E1A External Auto 1 mode selected
E2A External Auto 1 mode selected
Bal Balance Mode selected
Backtracking is shown if the Object is in Backtracking status, otherwise this Field is

skipped.
The MODE VALUE depends on which mode the Object currently is in. This means that
when you select a specific mode the event message will show the value that is relevant
for that mode, which are:
[MODE VALUE] Description
Value for Aut Auto setpoint value set from the faceplate
Value for Man Actual output value from its last mode
Value for E1M External Reference value (IO.In.ExtRefMan1)
Value for E2M External Reference value (IO.In.ExtRefMan2)
Value for E1A External Reference value (IO.In.ExtRefAuto1)
Value for E2A External Reference value (IO.In.ExtRefAuto2)
Value for Bal BalRef value as defined in the module parameters
The second case for events means when the relevant value for the mode changes. So
for example, an event is created when new setpoint value is set in Auto mode. In this case
the event message has the following structure:
[MODE] + Value: + [OLD VALUE] -> [NEW VALUE]
Title Loop Objects
Document number
In this case the same modes described right before are valid. Also OLD VALUE and NEW
VALUE is the value relevant for the specific active mode.
The third case for eventing is when some limit value is changed for some limits from the
faceplate. In this case the structure for the event message is the following:
[LIMIT SHORT NAME] + Value: + [OLD VALUE] -> [NEW VALUE]
[LIMIT SHORT NAME] Description
L1 Low limit 1
L2 Low limit 2
H1 High limit 1
H2 High limit 2
PHi Process limit high
PLo Process limit low
The OLD VALUE and NEW VALUE corresponds to the old and new Limit value itself.
The next case is when some limit is blocked from the faceplate. The structure for the
event message is the following:
Limit Blk: + [LIMIT NAME]
[LIMIT NAME] Description
MV_L1 Low limit 1 is blocked
MV_L2 Low limit 2 is blocked
MV_H1 High limit 1 is blocked
MV_H2 High limit 2 is blocked
MV_PHi Process limit high is blocked
MV_PLo Process limit low is blocked
The next and last case of our possible cases for events in PIDCtrl is when we have a
forced condition for the MV value. In this case three types of messages are possible:
§ When the Forced flag is selected the message is:
FRC Value: [VALUE]
Where value is the actual value set for the MV value.
§ When the Forced selection is undone the message is:
FRC Deselected
§ Or when MV value is changed under forced condition, the message is:
FRC Value: [OLD VALUE] -> [NEW VALUE]
Alarm Messages
The PIDCtrl has 3 main causes for alarm messages
§ Limit H2 or L2
§ Limit H1 or L1
§ Deviation High or Low
F Notice that Process Limit (Plim) does not create any alarm. The maximum indication
treatment for the Process Limit is 0 (Event) as described in the parameter description
in Control Builder.
Title Loop Objects
Document number
For the alarm limits the message will look like:

[LIMIT TYPE]: [LIMIT VALUE]
[LIMIT TYPE] Description
L1 Low limit 1 is reached
L2 Low limit 2 is reached
H1 High limit 1 is reached
H2 High limit 2 is reached
PHi Process limit high is reached
PLo Process limit low is reached
Dev High Deviation limit between MV (measured value) and SP
(setpoint) is higher than defined over Lim2 Tab
Dev Low Deviation limit between MV (measured value) and SP
(setpoint) is lower than defined over Lim2 Tab
Limit Value is the value defined in the Lim1 and Lim2 Tab for each Limit Type.

3.2.5 Tracking Options for Setpoint

There are several Options available as Parameters (with “PID_” Prefix, for Cold Init only,
they can be overwritten from the Faceplate), to define the behaviour of the Setpoint on
Mode change. Per default, all the Tracking Options are set true for complete bumpless
operation. For External Setpoints, bumpless Operation requires the LCC connection for
the External Auto Setpoint to support Backtracking. For the External Manual Modes, there
is no LCC connection and no inbuilt tracking possibility.

3.2.6 Behavior with Out LCC

In Auto Mode, the OUT Value follows the Backtracking Value and Control and Ramping
will therefore start from the Backtracking Value again always.
For the OUT Value in Manual Mode, the “Man Backtracking” Option decides if the internal
Setpoint Value is tracking the Backtracking Value from OUTCC while in state
Backtracking, otherwise the OUT Value is kept on the current Setpoint.
For Min Reached / Max Reached state, in addition to the Backtracking behaviour the Out
Value is limited to the Backtracking Value as well.

5.1.6 Behavior with Out LCC

The RatioCtrl Block is located in the middle of a Control Loop. In order for Backtracking to
work in Auto Mode, both the Input (connected to IN via LCC) and the Consumer of the
Setpoint (connected to OUT) need to support Backtracking as well. In Manual Mode,
Backtracking can be controlled via the “Man Backtracking” Option from the Faceplate.
Backtracking
The internal Value is initialized with the Backtracking Value, Ramp and Filter will therefore
start from the Backtracking Value again. Note that the RatioCtrl will apply the Filter and
Ramp independent of the Input supporting Backtracking, in order to allow implementing
Bumpless behaviour for Loops without Backtracking by connecting a RatioCtrl in between.
In case the Output Object is Backtracking, the Output Value can therefore deviate from
the calculated Output with the Input Value.
In Manual mode, while the “Man Backtracking” Option is set the Manual Setpoint will track
the Backtracking Value, otherwise the Backtracking Value is ignored.
Min Reached / Max Reached

In addition to the Backtracking behaviour, the Out Value is limited to the Backtracking
Value as well.

6.1.6 Backtracking Behaviour

The Control Module has no internal state and can only allow Backtracking if the Object
connected to “In” via LCC supports Backtracking.
If only one of the Outputs is in Backtracking, the In will be limited to the configured Range
of the still working Output (Min Reached / Max Reached is sent if outside the Range),
independent of the Backtracking Value of the Output.
If both Outputs are in Backtracking, the Value of Out1, scaled to the corresponding input
value, is sent for Backtracking to In, while Out2 is ignored. In this situation, if Out2 is
released (not Backtracking anymore) while Out1 is still Backtracking, the Backtracking
Value is modified to keep Out2 Value continous.
