Permission
All variables in Man01_InPar data type are set with Configure permission in 800xA system. All
variables in Man01_Opr data type are set with Operate permission, except for ResetCounter
which have Configure permission.
The variable permission can be configured according to the plant requirement. This can be
done by adding Property Attribute Override aspect for the object in Control Structure or for
the object type in Object Type Structure.

 FUNCTION

Control Modes
There are three different control modes are available in priority order: Balance, Man and E1.
Active mode is indicated on the faceplate and object display. These modes can also be blocked
individually from operator access. When in one mode, control from other location is blocked.

Balance Mode
In Balance mode, the control output follows the input parameter BalRef.
Balance mode can be activated by setting the input parameter Local or BalIn of the function
block. When activated by input parameter Local, an indication BaLo is presented in graphic
elements and faceplate. When activated by input parameter BalIn, an indication Bal is
presented instead.

Manual Mode
Manual mode is the default init mode of the Man01. Manual mode can be activated if Local
and BalIn is not active.
In Manual mode, operator directly sets the control output from the faceplate’s dialog entry
window. Manual mode can be activated from the Man button on the faceplate or with a rising
edge pulse to the input SeqMan of the function block. An indication M or Man is presented on
the graphic elements and faceplate. To enable Man button on the faceplate, the input
parameter ManEnbl must set to True.
Manual mode can also be activated by the setting the input parameter Clamp of the function
block. The output will follow the input parameter ClampRef. An indication MCp is presented
on the graphic elements and faceplate. During this condition, the output value set by operator
is ignored.

E1 Mode
In E1 mode, the ratio is controlled by the input parameter ExtRef.
If Local, BalIn and Clamp is not active, E1 mode can be activated from the E1 button on the
faceplate or with a rising edge pulse to the input SeqE1 of the function block. An indication of
E1 is presented on the graphic elements and faceplate. To enable E1 button on the faceplate,
the input parameter E1Enbl must set to True.

11
 FUNCTION
Range

The table below describes the control mode activation and priority of Man01.
Balance Manual E1
Input Local (1) BaLo - -
Input BalIn (1) Bal - -
Input Clamp (1) - MCp -
Operator Man - M -
Input SeqMan ­ (2) - M -
Operator E1 - - E1
Input SeqE1 ­ (2) - - E1
1. On leaving Balance or Manual Clamped, Manual mode is always obtained, unless other signal commands another mode.
2. The arrow ­ indicates that only a rising edge signal will trigger the mode change.

Range
Range parameter can be set from interaction window. It includes Min, Max, Decimal / Fraction
and Unit.

Signal Status
Man01 monitor the MV and OUT status which connected to IO module using input parameter
AIErr and AOErr respectively. Error occurs if the IO module function is deemed nonfunctional.
Typical caused of errors are missing or faulty hardware and out of range values.
Errors generated from IO module are passed to Man01. The output parameter OutPar.AIErr or
OutPar.AOErr is set to True when there is error. Faceplate element Status gives detail
information about the error code.
Overflow or underflow will occur if the A/D converter is given value out of its range. In
interaction window, it’s possible to select no error when overflow to prevent AI Error alarm
from being generated.

Output Limitation
The control output value is normally limited to the Max and Min of the output signal, but it’s
possible to define upper limit H and lower limit L within the signal range.
Internal output limit can be entered from interaction window or extended faceplate. It can
also be set externally in logic via input parameter EOHL and EOLL. The activation of input
parameter EOLim determines whether external limit or internal limit is applied to the output
limitation.
The upper limit can be set equal to the lower limit, but lower limit cannot be set greater than
the upper limit.
For upper limit, the value of Out_EQ_HL will be set when Out ≥ H. It will be reset when the Out
is lower than the output limit. For lower limit, the value of Out_EQ_LL will be set when Out ≤
L. It will be reset when the Out is greater than the output limit.

12
 FUNCTION
Ramp Function

Ramp Function
Ramp function is introduced into the signal path to determine the maximum permitted rate
of change of certain signal. The maximum permitted rate of changed is determine by the input
parameter Speed(x) and is specified in unit per second.
Speed2 determine the maximum change rate for ExtRef1 in E1 mode. Speed determines the
maximum output Out change rate in Manual or Clamp mode.

Tracking
Man01 has tracking function built in for the manual output signal. It can be configured to track
the MV or ExtRef. Tracking selection is configured using input parameter Track_A and
Track_B.
Track_A Track_B Description
0 False No tracking (default value)
0 True No tracking
The output reference is tracking MV when in E1 mode. The output is ramped to ManOut Reference
1 False
on return to Manual mode
The output reference and ManOut Refrence is tracking MV when in E1 mode. The Output will stay
1 True
at current value on return to Manual mode
The output reference is tracking ExtRef when in E1 mode. The output is ramped to ManOut
2 False
Reference on return to Manual mode
The output reference and ManOut Refrence is tracking ExtRef when in E1 mode. The Output will stay
2 True
at current value on return to Manual mode

Alarm Limits
Man01 monitor the measured value MV and compared it with two upper (H1 and H2) and two
lower (L1 and L2) alarm limits. When determining the MV alarm limits, it is recommended to
follow the rule: H2 > H1 > L1 > L2. Alarm limit can be entered from interaction window or
extended faceplate.
It’s possible to select whether the hysteresis is in unit or in percentage. If percentage is
selected, then actual hysteresis used internally is calculated by multiplying the percentage
against the signal range.
For upper alarm limit, the value of MV_GT_H1 and MV_GT_H2 will be set when MV > H1 and
MV > H2 respectively. It will be reset when the MV is lower than the alarm limit minus the
respective hysteresis. For lower alarm limit, the value of MV_LT_L1 and MV_LT_L2 will be set
when MV < L1 and MV < L2 respectively. It will be reset when the MV is greater than the alarm
limit plus the respective hysteresis.
Another limit can be monitored by Man01 is the Actuator deviation. This can be used to
monitor how well the actuator/valve response to the output command. The value of
ActDev_GT_H will be set when the difference between OutP and ActPos is greater than the
alarm limit. It will be reset when the difference is lower than the alarm limit minus the
hysteresis.

13
 FUNCTION
Interlocks

The value of MV_GT_H2, MV_GT_H1, MV_LT_L1, MV_LT_L2 and ActDev_GT_H will always be
monitored even if the alarm and event is not activated (AEConfig set to 0).
All alarm limits can be blocked altogether or individually. Alarm blocking can be done from
faceplate or from function block using AlcBlk or MVAlarms or ActDevAlarms. Repetitive
alarms can be prevented by enabling the Repeat Control parameter.

Interlocks
The Man01 control can be interlocked by signals from the process or control logic. Interlocks
are active when the value is False. There are 4 process interlocks available: IB1 - IB4. All can be
configured to accept blocking by the operator.
When interlock is active, the control output will be set to a value defined in the IB1Ref - IB4Ref.
If the active interlock is at the IB1, the output will be set based on value in IB1Ref. The same
condition applies to IB2, IB3 and IB4. Interlock supervision is performed in the priority order
IB1, IB2, IB3 and IB4.
These interlocks do not change the current control mode. If the control mode is Manual when
the interlock is released, the behavior of the output will depend on the value of TrackIB
parameter.
The output will stay at the interlock-value if TrackIB is set to True (default value). If interlock-
value is outside of the output limitation, the output will go to the limit value. If TrackIB is set
to False, the output will return to the last manual entered output value when interlock is
activated. This value is shown in Control 2 faceplate tab.

Alarm Blocking
Alarm can be blocked using input parameter AlcBlk or MVAlarms or ActDevAlarms.
Project constant cPPCustom.AlcBlkBlockAll determines the behavior of alarm blocking. If
cPPCustom.AlcBlkBlockAll is set to True, it will automatically acknowledge existing alarms
and prevent new alarm. If set to False, it will only block new alarm. Existing active alarm will
remain in the alarm list and need to be acknowledged manually.
If blocking is released while object is in alarm condition, alarm will then be generated.

14
 FUNCTION
Interaction Window

Interaction Window
Interaction Window is used to configure the object’s parameter
in the Control Builder. It is only accessible when Control Builder is
in Online mode by right clicking the function block.
The main Interaction Window shows the name and description of
the function block. The buttons are links to open the sub-window.

General Par
Name and Description can be entered from interaction window
or from the function block parameters directly. After performing
Name Uploader, these values will be used as Object Name and
Description and shown in faceplate.
Class defines the process section or area in which alarms are grouped. By utilizing Class, the
alarms can be filtered. Valid values are 1 - 9999. Severity defines the alarm priority for general
alarms. Valid values are 1 - 1000 where 1000 is the highest priority.

Control Mode & Event

Enable Order is used to allow operator to give an order of certain
activity. The faceplate button will be enabled if it is activated (set
to 1).
Normal Mode defines the mode(s) where object shall be operated
normally. More than 1 mode can be assigned as normal mode
depending on how the object is used. By default, the normal
mode for Man01 is Manual and E1.
Init Mode defines the initial mode of the object when cold
download is performed. Default init mode for Man01 is Manual.
Initial Position defines the initial values of ManOUT (for Man init mode) when cold download
is performed. If not enabled, initial position will be based on the cold retain value.
Enable Event is used to allow the event message generated due to changes in status. External
Mode refers to mode changes by application while Operator Mode refers to mode changes by
operator from faceplate button. To enable event for selected message, press the button to
set the value to 1.

Interlock Setting
When Enable Event is activated (set to 1), changes in value of the
interlock will generate an event message.
Enabling the Opr Block (set to 1) will give operator the possibility to
override the interlock(s) from faceplate.
Interlock Setting can also be configured from Interlocks Display.
15
 FUNCTION
Interaction Window

Unit & Range

Unit & Range covers minimum and maximum range, unit and
decimal number.
Limit Control defines the High and Low Limit of Output operator
can enter from faceplate when in Manual mode. It also defines the
percentage value of changes for Output (in Man mode) when
faceplate button Dec or Inc is pressed.
Output limit can be selected to limit the input value of BalRef,
ClampRef and IBRef individually. By default, ClampRef is limited
by the output limit while BalRef and IBRef is limited by the output
range only
Enabling Show Actuator Position will show the actuator value in the faceplate.

Alarm Setting
Four MV alarm limits can be configured, two
high limits and two low limits. Each alarm limit
has its own configuration and can be defined
individually.
AE Config can be set in 3 different ways:
0 = No Alarm or Event
1 = Alarm and Event
2 = Event only
If AE Config is set to 1, alarm will be generated
if the limit stays active longer than alarm delay
time. Otherwise, alarm will not be generated.
If Repeat Control is enabled (set to 1) and
AEConfig = 1, the number alarm on and off
repetitions without acknowledge is limited to 3.
The max limit can be adjusted from project
constant cRPCtrl. Note that changing this value will affect Repeat Control limit for all objects
in the project.
When MV Alarm Hysteresis in Percentage (%) is activated (set to 1), the hysteresis will be in
percentage and calculated against the range.
Similarly, there is Actuator Deviation alarm limit to monitor actuator/valve response.

KPI
KPI measures loop’s performance, such normal mode ratio and
alarm ratio. Enable KPI Monitoring must be activated to measure
the normal mode ratio and alarm ratio.
Normal Mode ratio indicates the percentage of loop is in normal
control mode. Selection of normal mode is available from
interaction windows Control Mode & Order. The ratio is
calculated by comparing the duration of loop in normal mode to the total duration since KPI

16
 FUNCTION
Text Configuration

is enabled or last reset. Higher normal mode ratio means loop was frequently operated in the
desired mode.
Alarm Active ratio indicates the percentage of loop is in alarm state. The ratio is calculated by
comparing the duration of loop in alarm state to the total duration since KPI is enabled or last
reset. Higher alarm active ratio means loop was frequently operated in the alarm state.
These values can be reset to zero by pressing the Reset Counters button. Last Reset indicates
the date and time when the last reset is performed. If Reset has not been performed before,
the Last Reset will show 1979-12-31-00:00:00.000.

Text Configuration
Text Configuration aspect is used to define the text properties of the object, such as modes,
interlocks and info texts. It is accessible in the Control Structure. The length of each text
should not exceed more than 50 characters, except for modes name which is limited to 10
characters only.

Limits 1
MV alarm limit, hysteresis and alarm delay can be defined in this tab.
Alarm limit will be visible if configured as alarm & event (indicated with
AE) or event only (indicated with E). If alarm is blocked, then it will be
indicated with B.
When alarm limit is active, a red square indication is shown in front of
the limit. Alarm will be generated if the limit stays active for more than
the alarm delay time. It will be indicated with the blinking red square
indication if not acknowledged.
User with Tune permission can change the alarm limits, while repeat control, hysteresis and
alarm delay can be adjusted by user with Configure permission. If MV Alarm Hyst in
Percentage (%) is checked, then hysteresis entered is calculated as percentage of the range.

Limits 2
Output limit can be defined in this tab. When output limit is active, a
yellow square indication is shown in front of the limit. User with Tune
permission can change the output limits. Input field for output limit
will be disabled if the external limitation is active.
Similar to MV alarm limits, the actuator deviation limit can be
configured here.

Block
Checkbox Override Interlock will override all blockable interlocks. It is
enabled when at least one interlock is configured blockable.
Operator can block each MV/ActDev alarm limit individually or all
alarms by ticking on the checkbox. Checkbox Block All Alarms is
enabled when at least one of MV/ActDev limits or signal faults is
configured as alarm. Checkbox for blocking individual MV/ActDev
alarm limit is enabled when the respective MV/ActDev limit is
configured as alarm. It will be disabled when external control for the
respective MV/ActDev limit is activated.
Un-ticking checkbox Enable Object will bring the object to Out of Service mode.

KPI
When KPI is enabled, Normal Mode ratio and Alarm Active ratio will be
shown. Otherwise, nothing will be visible.
Normal Mode ratio indicates the percentage of loop is in normal
control mode. Alarm Active ratio indicates the percentage of loop is in
alarm state.
These values can be reset by pressing the Reset Counter button. Last
