Component Categories and Types

We divide the Control Builder components into these two major
categories:

• Hardware Relation Category (physical equipment)

• Functional Relation Category

Hardware relation category

The hardware relation category includes the physical equipment
blocks provided in Control Builder. These blocks let you quickly
integrate the related control hardware into your control strategy.
Figure 1.1 on page 1-2 shows the physical equipment that relates to
the corresponding hardware relations covered in this document for a
typical non-redundant system. Figure 1.2 on page 1-3 shows the
physical equipment that relates to the corresponding hardware
relations for a typical redundant system.

1-4 Introduction to Control Builder Components

Physical equipment block types

Table identifies the physical equipment block types provided to
represent corresponding major control hardware components. The
Control Execution Environment (CEE) block is included as one of
these block types because of its relationship with the Control
Processor, although it is a functional type more than a physical one.

Physical Equipment Blocks

Type Description

Control Processor Module (CPM) Defines name/location and Control Execution

Environment (CEE) assignment for Primary and
Secondary CPMs in connected Hybrid Controllers.
This CPM is redundancy compliant.

Control Execution Environment (CEE) Supports block execution and communications in

given CPM.

Redundancy Module (RM) Defines name/location of Primary and Secondary

Redundancy Modules in Redundant Chassis Pair.
This module is redundancy compliant.

I/O Modules (IOM) Provides links for I/O channels to interface

physical I/O module to given Control Processor
Module. This includes 1756, 1757, 1797 FLEX Ex
and 1794 FLEX I/O modules.

Serial Interface Module (SIM) Provides configuration and communication

software to enable devices to communicateVia
an ASCII serial protocol to perform bi-directional
data exchange directly with the ProcessLogix
Control Processor.

Pulse Input Module Serves as the interface board between the

ProcessLogix Controller and field transducers
such as tachometers, flow meters, and magnetic
pickups. Module block descriptions are listed
under Functional Blocks, on page 3-73.

Introduction to Control Builder Components 1-5

Functional relation category

Control Builder includes comprehensive libraries of function blocks
that streamline the control strategy configuration process. You simply
“drag and drop” selected blocks into a Control Module and/or
Sequential Control Module container to emulate the necessary
functional requirements of your process.

See the Control Builder Reference Manual, publication 1757-RM808,
for more information.

The functional relation category conveniently groups function blocks
according to a related functional block type or component library. The
component libraries provide a convenient way to group related
function blocks for easy access and reference.

Figure 1.3 on page 1-5 shows the general graphic orientation and
Windows look-and-feel of Control Builder.

1-6 Introduction to Control Builder Components

Functional block types

Table identifies the functional block types used to represent a group
of corresponding function blocks provided in Control Builder. These
block types are used as a way to simplify information retrieval for a
given function block, and do not necessarily correspond to an actual
Control Builder function.

Functional Blocks

Type Description

System/
Continuous Control/
Sequential Control

Auxiliary Includes block types for performing auxiliary control functions, such as: calculation, general

Device Control Provides a multi-input/multi-output function that provides an interface to discrete devices such as

Data Acquisition Provides signal conditioning for a process inputValue from another function block.

I/O Channel (IOC) Includes channel block types (analog input, analog output, digital input, digital output, pulse width

Logic Provides a set of Boolean, selection and comparison functions to be used as a basis for integrated

Regulatory Control Includes block types for building internal control loops.

Sequential Control Module Includes block types for building a sequential control function.

Utility Includes block types for performing utility control functions, such as: status flag, numeric storage

ControlNet Interoperability

Overview

This section provides detailed reference data for each physical
equipment block type that is part of the hardware relation category for
Control Builder.

See the ProcessLogix Function Block Parameter Reference Manual,
publication 1757-RM811A-EN-P, for definitions of each parameter.

Control Processor Module (CPM)

Description Identifies the primary and secondary Control Processor Modules (CPM) and associated CEE to implement the control

strategy built in the Control Builder application. This block’s parameters characterize the redundant CPM as a whole.
This block always runs at an execution period of 2 seconds. It is redundancy compliant.

Function • Supports Hybrid Controller Redundant Chassis Pair hardware configurations.

• Publishes parameters describing the status and configuration of the CPM.

• Processes the computation of statistical parameters and notification reporting.

• Serves as a faceplate for any parameters whose scope corresponds to that of the entire CPM.

• Secondary waits to take control if the “Primary” fails.

• The address of the Secondary chassis equals the address of the Primary chassis plus one.

Control Execution Environment (CEE)

Description Provides control functionality for associated Control Processor Module block. This block’s parameters characterize the

CEE within the CPM. In the future, multiple CEEs may be assigned to a single CPM.
This block always runs at an execution period of 2 seconds.
There are two versions of the CEE available, the standard version CEE-50ms, and the fast version CEE-5ms.

Function • Publishes parameters describing the status and configuration of the CEE.

• Processes the computation of statistical parameters and notification reporting.

• Runs on the CPM hardware platform. In the future, CEE will run on other platforms as well.

• Serves as a faceplate for any parameters whose scope corresponds to that of the CEE rather than the CPM as a

whole.

• Supports configurable subscription rate for peer-to-peer communications.

• Supports peer-to-peer communications among CEEs assigned to CPMs located in the same management domain.

• Sequential Control Module function blocks are supported. Special care should be taken in configuring the SCMs in

5 msec CEE.
