Discrete 2-, 3-, 4-state Device (P_D4SD)

The P_D4SD (Discrete 2-, 3-, 4-state Device) Add-On Instruction controls and monitors feedback from a discrete 2-state, 3-state, or 4-state device in various modes, monitoring for fault conditions. These devices include multiple-speed motors or multiple-position valves. The global objects and the following faceplate are examples of the graphical interface tools that are used with this instruction.
Add-On Instruction
Faceplate

Guidelines

Global Objects
Use this instruction in these situations:
You need to operate a discrete device that has two, three, or four unique states, and the device is not supported by other Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects Add-On Instructions for various motors, valves, and so forth.
You have a device, such as a valve or motor, that is supported by other Add-On Instructions, but you want the device to use non-standard state names, such as ‘recycle’ and ‘deliver’ for a diverter valve, rather than the fixed names used in the other Instruction, such as ‘closed’ and ‘open’. The P_D4SD Instruction has configurable names for each of the device states.
Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM028E-EN-P - February 2017 7
Discrete 2-, 3-, 4-state Device (P_D4SD)
Do not use this instruction in these situations:
You need to operate a device that has more than four states, such as a six-
position rotary selector valve. You can use the P_nPos (n-Position Device) Add-On Instruction instead.
You need to operate a single-speed motor, two-speed motor, simple reversing motor, solenoid valve, motor-operated valve, mix-proof valve, or other device that is better supported by other Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects Add-On Instructions. Instructions such as P_Motor, P_MotorRev, P_Motor2Spd, P_ValveSO, P_ValveMO, and P_ValveMP more closely model the device under control and can provide better diagnostics for the device.
You need to operate a continuously-variable device. Use the P_AOut (Analog Output), P_ValveC (Control Valve), or P_VSD (Variable Speed Drive) Add-On Instruction instead.
You need to operate a two-state device that requires pulsing (single-pulse or continuous). Use the P_DOut (Discrete Output) Instruction instead.

Functional Description

The Discrete 2-, 3-, or 4-state Device Add-On Instruction provides the following capabilities:
Provides configuration to have two, three, or four selectable states for the device.
Provides Operator and Program Commands to select one of the two, three, or four states of the device.
Controls four discrete outputs, with configurable states of each output in the various device states. Each output can be set, cleared, or left in last state in a given device state.
Monitors four discrete feedback inputs, with configurable states (including ‘must be on’, ‘must be off’, and ‘don't care’) for each input in the various device states for monitoring the actual position of the device.
Provides configurable text labels for each of the states.
When feedback inputs are used, detects failure to reach the target state,
after a configurable time, and alarms the failure. Optionally ‘sheds’ to the default state (state 0) on a feedback failure.
Monitors Permissive conditions that allow commanding the device to each state.
Monitors Interlock conditions that return the device to its default state (state 0).
Provides simulation of a normal working device, while holding the outputs to the real device de-energized, for use in testing or operator training.
Monitors I/O communication status, providing an alarm on an I/O fault. Optionally ‘sheds’ to the default state on an I/O fault condition.
Provides an ‘Available’ Status when in Program mode and operating normally for use by automation logic to determine if the logic can manipulate the device.
Operates in Hand, Maintenance, Override, Program, and Operator modes. (See
Modes on page 20.)

Required Files

Add-On Instructions are reusable code objects that contain encapsulated logic that can streamline implementing your system. This lets you create your own instruction set for programming logic as a supplement to the instruction set provided natively in the ControlLogix® firmware. An Add-On Instruction is defined once in each controller project, and can be instantiated multiple times in your application code as needed.

Controller File

The P_D4SD_3_5-00_AOI.L5X Add-On Instruction must be imported into the controller project to be used in the controller configuration. The service release number (boldfaced) can change as service revisions are created.

Visualization Files

This Add-On Instruction has associated visualization files that provide a common user interface. These files can be downloaded from the Product Compatibility and Download Center at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/support/pcdc.page.

command state. The parameter Cfg_OutSt[x]Write configures which outputs get written for each state. The parameter Cfg_OutSt[x]State configures what gets written for each state.
For example, if all outputs must be set to 0 except Out_A which must be set to 1 to command the device to state 1, then Cfg_OutSt1Write must be 2#0000_1111 and Cfg_OutSt1State must be 2#0000_0001.
By default, all four outputs are written in every state, with a single output set to 1 in each state.
determine state. The parameter Cfg_FdbkSt[x]Check configures which inputs get checked for each state. The parameter Cfg_FdbkSt[x]State configures the values of the inputs which determine each state.
For example, if the device returns a 0 to Inp_FdbkA and Inp_FdbkB and a 1 to Inp_FdbkC when the device is in state 3, then Cfg_FdbkSt3Check must be 2#0000_0111 and Cfg_FdbkSt1Write must be 2#0000_0100.
By default, all inputs are ‘don’t’ care’ in every state (no feedback checking).

After the alarm condition returns to normal, a reset is required to clear the alarm status (for example, OCmd_Reset, Inp_Reset, or Fail.OCmd_Reset is required to clear the Fail alarm after the alarm is set and the value returns to normal). When these parameters are 0, no reset is required and the alarm status is cleared when the alarm condition returns to normal.
IMPORTANT: If the reset clears the alarm, it also acknowledges the alarm.

Operations

This section describes the primary operations for this Add-On Instruction.

Modes

This instruction uses the following standard modes, which are implemented by using an embedded P_Mode Add-On Instruction.
Table 9 - Modes
Mode Description
Operator The Operator owns control of the device. Operator commands (OCmd_) and Operator settings
(OSet_) from the HMI are accepted.
Program Program logic owns control of the device. Program commands (PCmd_) and Program settings
(PSet_) are accepted.
Override Priority logic owns control of the device and supersedes Operator and Program control. Override
Inputs (Inp_OvrdCmd and other Inp_OvrdXxxx values) are accepted. If so configured, bypassable interlocks and permissives are bypassed.
Maintenance Maintenance owns control of the device and supersedes Operator, Program, and Override
control. Operator commands and settings from the HMI are accepted. Bypassable interlocks and permissives are bypassed, and device timeout checks are not processed.
Hand Hardwired logic or other logic outside the instruction owns control of the device. The instruction
tracks the state of the device for bumpless transfer back to one of the other modes.
No Mode The device is disabled and has no owner because the EnableIn input is false. The main
instruction Logic routine is not being scanned. See Execution section for more information on EnableInFalse processing.
See Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects: Common Mode Block (P_Mode) Reference Manual, publication SYSLIB-RM005, for more information.

Simulation

Simulation in P_D4SD de-energizes the normal outputs and simulates the feedback of a working device.
Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM028E-EN-P - February 2017 21
Discrete 2-, 3-, 4-state Device (P_D4SD)
You must set the Inp_Sim parameter in the controller to '1' to enable simulation.
The Simulation icon is displayed at the bottom left of the Operator faceplate indicating the device is in simulation.
While in simulation, you can set the delay (in seconds) for echoing back that the device has reached a state (Cfg_SimFdbkT).
When you have finished in simulation, set the Inp_Sim parameter in the controller to '0' to return to normal operation.

Execution

The following table explains the handling of instruction execution conditions.
Condition Description
EnableIn False (false rung) Handled the same as if the device were Disabled by
Command. The device outputs are de-energized and the device is shown as Disabled on the HMI. The mode is shown as ‘NO MODE’. All alarms are cleared.
Powerup (prescan, first scan) On Prescan, any Commands received before First Scan are
discarded. The device is de-energized. On first scan, the device is treated as if it were returning from Hand mode: the instruction state is set based on the position feedback received from the device.
Embedded P_Mode and P_Alarm instructions are handled in accordance with their standard powerup procedures. Refer to the P_Mode and P-Alarm reference manuals for details.
Postscan No SFC Postscan logic is provided.

Programming Example

This example uses the P_D4SD Add-On Instruction to control a cooling fan that has three fixed speeds (‘low’, ‘medium’, ‘high’) and an ‘off’ state. This is considered a 4-state device. In this example, three digital outputs are used to set the speed setting (when all three are off, the fan is commanded off ) and three digital inputs provide feedback of the actual fan state (when all three are off, the fan is off).
In this example, the four cooling fan states are being mapped to the device as follows:
State 0 = Off
State 1 = Low
State 2 = Medium
State 3 = High
Set the Cfg_NumStates parameter to 4 to indicate this is a four-state device. The input parameters for states 1…3 (Inp_FdbkB, Inp_FdbkC, Inp_FdbkD) are connected to the digital inputs, representing the status of the fan. The output parameters for states 1…3 (Out_B, Out_C, Out_D) are connected to the digital outputs that command the fan to the desired state.
Based on the wiring of the I/O, we can now configure the P_D4SD instruction how we want to process the outputs to get to the desired state. We can do this via the following table.
Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM028E-EN-P - February 2017 23
Discrete 2-, 3-, 4-state Device (P_D4SD)
Table 12 - P-D4SD Example Outputs
Output A Output B Output C Output D
State 01000
State 10100
State 20010
State 30001
1 = command output On, 0 = command output Off.
We are setting Output A so it can be used for display purposes even though Output A is not used by the cooling fan device. The parameter Cfg_OutSt[x]Write determines which outputs get written for each state. The parameter Cfg_OutSt[x]State determines the state that gets written. These parameters are single integers where bit 0 represents output A and bit 3 represents output D.
These parameters are displayed in binary format as indicated by the prefix 2#. By
Table 12, we can set the settings as follows:
using
Cfg_OutSt0Write: 2#0000_1111
Cfg_OutSt0State: 2#0000_0001
Cfg_OutSt1Write: 2#0000_1111
Cfg_OutSt1State: 2#0000_0010
Cfg_OutSt2Write: 2#0000_1111
Cfg_OutSt2State: 2#0000_0100
Cfg_OutSt3Write: 2#0000_1111
Cfg_OutSt3State: 2#0000_1000
We can now repeat this same effort to configure how the P_D4SD instruction determines actual state based on the field inputs via the following table,.
Table 13 - P_D4SD Example Inputs
Input A Input B Input C Input D
State 0x000
State 1x100
State 2x010
State 3x001
x = status not checked, 1 = status checked on, 0 = status checked off
24 Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM028E-EN-P - February 2017
Discrete 2-, 3-, 4-state Device (P_D4SD)
The parameter Cfg_FdbkSt[x]Check determines which feedback inputs to check for each state. The parameter Cfg_FdbkSt[x]State determines how the state is interpreted from the input values.
By using
Table 13, we can set the settings as follows:
Cfg_FdbkSt0Check: 2#0000_1110
Cfg_FdbkSt0State: 2#0000_0000
Cfg_FdbkSt1Check: 2#0000_1110
Cfg_FdbkSt1State: 2#0000_0010
Cfg_FdbkSt2Check: 2#0000_1110
Cfg_FdbkSt2State: 2#0000_0100
Cfg_FdbkSt3Check: 2#0000_1110
Cfg_FdbkSt3State: 2#0000_1000
As this is a cooling fan, if there is a device mismatch or fault, we still want the logic to command to the desired state. Therefore, Cfg_ShedOnFail and Cfg_ShedOnDeviceFault are both set to 0.
Lastly, configure the following local configuration tags to drive the text on the operations faceplate. In this example, the cooling fan P&ID tag is M401. In this example, they are set as follows:
Cfg_Tag: ‘M401’
Cfg_Label: ‘Line 4 Rectifier Fan’
Cfg_Desc: ‘Line 4 Rectifier Cooling Fan’
Cfg_St0Text: ‘Stopped’
Cfg_St1Text: ‘Slow’
Cfg_St2Text: ‘Medium’
Cfg_St3Text: ‘Fast’

Discrete 2-, 3-, 4-state Device (P_D4SD)
Local tags can be configured through the HMI faceplates or in Logix Designer application by opening the Instruction Logic of the Add-On Instruction instance and then selecting the string on the displayed rung.
All strings in local tags are shown on the first rung of the Add-On Instruction's ‘Logic’ routine for your convenience.

Display Elements

A display element (global object) is created once and can be referenced multiple times on multiple displays in an application. When changes are made to the original (base) object, the instantiated copies (reference objects) are automatically updated. Use of global objects, in conjunction with tag structures in the ControlLogix system, aid consistency and save engineering time.
