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 20177
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
Images are external graphic files that can be used in displays. They must be
imported for FactoryTalk View to make use of them.
When PNG files are imported, they are renamed by FactoryTalk View with
a .bmp file extension, but retain a .png format.

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

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).

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
ModeDescription
OperatorThe Operator owns control of the device. Operator commands (OCmd_) and Operator settings
(OSet_) from the HMI are accepted.
ProgramProgram logic owns control of the device. Program commands (PCmd_) and Program settings
(PSet_) are accepted.
OverridePriority 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.
MaintenanceMaintenance 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.
HandHardwired 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 ModeThe 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.

feedback of a working device.
Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM028E-EN-P - February 201721
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.
ConditionDescription
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.

Discrete 2-, 3-, 4-state Device (P_D4SD)
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 201723
Discrete 2-, 3-, 4-state Device (P_D4SD)
Table 12 - P-D4SD Example Outputs
Output AOutput BOutput COutput 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 AInput BInput CInput D
State 0x000
State 1x100
State 2x010
State 3x001
x = status not checked, 1 = status checked on, 0 = status checked off
24Rockwell 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’

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

If the object is configured to have permissive and interlock objects (for example,
Cfg_HasIntlkObj is true), the permissive and interlock indication become
buttons that open the faceplates of the source objects used as a permissive or
interlock (often this is a P_Intlk or P_Perm object). If the object is not
configured in this way, the permissive or interlock are indicators only.

This display directs how the P_D4SD instruction commands the device state via
outputs and determines the actual device state via feedback inputs. The first two
columns for output set parameters, Cfg_OutSt[x]Write, and
Cfg_OutSt[x]Value, determine how outputs are written to command to a state.
The second two columns for feedback set parameters, Cfg_FdbkSt[x]Check, and
Cfg_FdbkSt[x]State, determine how the state is interpreted from the input
values.
Changing the parameters requires engineering access (security code E).
