Cause and Effect Manager Program User Manual (for ROC800-Series)
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Caution When implementing control using this product, observe best industry
practices as suggested by applicable and appropriate environmental,
health, and safety organizations. While this product can be used as A
safety component in a system, it is NOT intended or designed to be the
ONLY safety mechanism in that system.
This chapter describes the structure of this manual and presents an
overview and installation instructions of the Cause and Effect Manager
Program for the ROC800-Series Remote Operations Controller.
1.1 Scope and Organization
This document serves as the user manual for the Cause and Effect
Manager program, which is intended for use in a ROC800-Series
(ROC800). This manual describes how to download, install, and configure
the Cause and Effect Manager program (referred to as the “Cause and
Effect program” or “the program” throughout the rest of this manual). You
access and configure this program using ROCLINK™ 800 Configuration
Software (version 2.10 or greater) loaded on a personal computer (PC)
running Windows® 2000 (with Service Pack 2), Windows XP (with
Service Pack 3), Windows Vista
bit).
™
(32-bit), or Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-
The sections in this manual provide information in a sequence appropriate
for first-time users. Once you become familiar with the procedures and the
software, the manual becomes a reference tool.
This manual has the following major sections:
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 2 – Installation
Chapter 3 – Configuration
Chapter 4 – Reference
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the ROC800 and its
configuration. For more information, refer to the following manuals:

1.2 Product Overview
The Cause & Effect Manager user program for the ROC800 supports up to
128 causes and 48 effects. The program is designed to allow you to
configure the ROC800 to do logical operations without writing FSTs. A
Cause typically monitors a selected point that would be logically evaluated
Revised June-2016 1
Cause and Effect Manager Program User Manual (for ROC800-Series)
Cause precondition evaluation must be satisfied before a trip is possible.
Effect last four tattletales that show the order of multiple causes tripped.
against a user defined set-point. Any tripped Cause linked to an Effect forces
the action defined in that Effect. An example of this would be a gas
application monitoring multiple gas quality limits defined as Causes (BTU,
H2S, Nitrogen, CO2, etc) which are linked to a slam valve (which is the
Effect).
The layout of the configuration screens is such that you can configure logic
by inputting entries from a Cause and Effect matrix. In many cases, you can
input the effects and causes line by line through the entire matrix.
Features
Cause compound primary and secondary conditions that trips the cause
based on “And / Or” evaluation.
Cause operators that allow selectable evaluations or operations (logical,
on-change, mathematical, watchdog and data movement).
Cause condition and precondition timer delays.
Cause condition deadbands.
Caused definitions for up to 16 effect link assignments.
Cause trips that clear automatically when the condition clears or trips
that are reset controlled.
Cause alarming to the ROC alarm log for trips and/or clears.
Effect active/inactive values or states that are definable.
Effect selectable option to assert those values continuously or not.
Effect usage that defines its behavior as a normal effect or a reset point
(i.e. reset push button).
Effect delay timer.
1.3 Program Requirements
The Cause and Effect program is compatible with version 3.50 (or greater)
of the ROC800 firmware and with version 2.10 (or greater) of the
ROCLINK 800 software.
Program specifics include:
Note:
You must load one version of the program only depending on your
available user program slot or location.
The CauseAndEffect_128x48_TLP7172.tar and the
CauseAndEffect_128x48_TLP7475.tar program files support 128
causes and 48 effects. The CauseAndEffect_64x32_TLP7172.tar and
the CauseAndEffect_64x32_TLP7475.tar program files support 64
causes and 32 effects.

1.3.1 License Key
License keys, when matched with valid license codes, grant access to
applications such as Cause and Effect.
The term “license key” refers to the physical piece of hardware that can
contain up to seven different licenses (refer to Figure 1). Each ROC800
can have none, one, or two license keys installed. If you remove a license
key after enabling an application, the firmware disables the task from
running. This prevents unauthorized execution of protected applications in
a ROC800.
Figure 1. License Key
Note: The Cause and Effect program requires either Cause and Effect
(for CauseAndEffect_128x48_TLP7172.tar and
CauseAndEffect_128x48_TLP7475.tar program files) or
C&E64X32 (for CauseAndEffect_64x32_TLP7172.tar and
CauseAndEffect_64x32_TLP7475.tar program files) license key
depending on your requirements.

Chapter 2 – Installation
This section provides instructions for installing the Cause and Effect
program into the ROC800. Read Section 1.3 of this manual for program
requirements.
2.1 Installing the License Key
If you order the Cause and Effect program for a new ROC800, your
ROC800 is delivered with the license key installed. Go to Section 2.2.
If you order the program for an existing ROC800, you must install the
license key yourself.
Caution
Failure to exercise proper electrostatic discharge precautions, such
as wearing a grounded wrist strap may reset the processor or
damage electronic components, resulting in interrupted operations.
When working on units located in a hazardous area (where
explosive gases may be present), make sure the area is in a nonhazardous state before performing these procedures. Performing
these procedures in a hazardous area could result in personal injury
or property damage.
To install a license key:
1. Remove power from the ROC800.
2. Remove the wire channel cover
3. Unscrew the screws from the Central Processing Unit (CPU) faceplate.
4. Remove the CPU faceplate
5. Place the license key in the appropriate terminal slot (P4 or P6) in the
CPU
Figure 2. License Key Installation
6. Press the license key into the terminal unit it is firmly seated (Refer to
Figure 2.
7. Replace the CPU faceplate.
8. Replace the screws on the CPU faceplate.
9. Replace the wire channel cover.
10. Restore Power to the ROC800.

2.3 MPU Loading Threshold
To maximize the performance of your ROC800 device, always verify the
performance of specific application combinations before using them in the
field to ensure the MPU load typically remains below 85% with peak
MPU loading levels below 95%.
To check the current MPU load at any time, select ROC > Information >
Other Information and review the value in the MPU loading field.
