The PlantPAx Automation System

7/31/2019 PR07

7/92

7 of 92

These system elements allow flexible and scalable system configurations to be created. These

configurations can range from small unit, equipment or lab process applications to large plant wide and

highly-distributed applications.

In this class we will focus exclusively on the PlantPAx Core. Specifically we will focus on building anddesigning PlantPAx Core Systems.

The PlantPAx Core

The PlantPAx core is the heart of a PlantPAx System.

Based on Integrated Architecture automation products, the core system can be extended through theaddition of optional functions such as Batch, Historian, or Asset Management while providing thecapability to meet critical process control, availability and safety requirements.

The PlantPAx core system supports typical process control configurations based on the Purdue CIM

model and ISA system standards (S88, S95, and S99).

PlantPAx Core Functions

Engineering Development Environment

System Wide Visualization

Process Control

PlantPAx Core Components

CLX Controllers

HMI Server

FT Directory Services

The core itself is scalable and may consist of one HMI and Controller pair or multiple controllers. A basic

system may only consist of core components.

Goals of this Class

This class will focus on the tasks involved in building a Process Control System using the Process Core.

While a PlantPAx Core System will be sufficient for many applications, others will require the addition of

additional PlantPAx modules to provide the required functionality.

The important thing to note is that both the PlantPAx Core itself and a larger PlantPAx system can be

scaled to your specific needs.

7/31/2019 PR07

This class will illustrate how quickly a high quality Control Application can be developed using the

PlantPAx Process Library.

Format of this Class

This class is broken into 4 Sections.

In the first Module we will introduce the User to the PlantPAx System Core.

In the subsequent sections, you will get to build control modules using the Process Library. We will then

look at ways to streamline the development process

[NOTE There is a larger view on the Next Page]

As is customary, the design team has communicated these additions by issuing a P&ID Document alongwith electrical schematics. (see next page)

In production, specific quantities of Material 1 and 2 will be mixed in T8000 and then transferred toStorage Tank T8100. From here, it is fed to the Plant.

Using elements from the Process Library we will insert the controller code and Visual Elements needed tocontrol the individual system elements. We will then add the safety interlocks and permissives to thesystem.

Initially, this class will focus on making minor changes online (on the fly) without interrupting theoperations of your plant. Later, we will demonstrate how efficiently a large scale system can be built.

NOTE - All the code required to simulate this equipment has already been added to this application. Theuser only has to tie in the various modules to the Generic IO to implement the project.

NOTE: Throughout this lab if any processor seems to fail or lock-up, right-click on the processor and clear

the Major Fault(s) and place it back into Run mode.

The FTViewSE Operator Client window and process application

The FactoryTalkViewSE Operator Client window should already be running. Click on the Windows toolbar

button at the bottom to open the Operator Client window

.

The HMI will appear as follows after launching the SE Client. (Note: the initial screen might

need to be refreshed. Refresh by clicking the button in the upper right of the display.

The process application consists of a Premix vessel, two Reactor Vessels and Storage Tanks with Batch

control, and a Utilities area with two Utility Boilers, a Condensate area and Feed water system. You can

navigate to different areas of the plant using the navigation button bar and the pull-down menu

buttons.

This application has been built using the PlantPAx Process Library of pre-defined Faceplatesand graphics Objects. The lab will focus on adding logic and graphic display elements for the

Mix area.

7/31/2019 PR07

16/92

16 of 92

Each PlantPAx Process Library element consists of an AOI (Add-On Instruction) which is

embedded in the Control Logix application processors and a collection of associated graphics

objects. The graphics objects, when placed in a HMI application, can be used to launch a

faceplate. The faceplate provides an operator, maintenance technician, or engineer with all the

functionality he will need to manipulate and configure the devices. If you have time, take a few

minutes to browse the HMI application. In particular feel free to click on individual valves,pumps, and sensors and observe the faceplates and faceplate tabs.

Security and User Logins

Click on the security key in the top right corner of the screen to login as an Engineer.

On the login window enter eng for the User Name and engineer for the password. Click OK.

You will now be logged in as an engineer (as indicated at the bottom right of the screen).

Click on the Help button in the top right corner of the screen for a list of user ids and passwords.

The Help button shows you all of the configured users and passwords in this lab application.

The device pop-up faceplates in this application have an Operator tab for device control (start/stop,

open/close, modes, setpoints), a Maintenance tab for overiding of interlocks/ permissive and disabling thedevice, and an Engineering tab for device and alarm configuration. The features and buttons on the

various tabs are only active with the proper user login. This lab will focus on the engineering functions

available from the pop-ups.

You are now ready to proceed with this Lab!

The Process Library

Throughout this Lab we will be using the Process Library. The Process Library consists of a collection of

Ready to Use, Device Level Control Modules. These consist of Application Code developed within AddOn Instructions (AOIs), Graphic Objects (which will be displayed on your HMI) and Faceplates foroperator and/or engineering interface to the device logic.

Application Code Contains the code which controls the associateddevice. This code is embedded in an AOI whichcan be instantiated multiple times in a givenapplication.

The Process Library AOIs can be found in the AOISection of the Controller Tree.

Graphic Objects The Graphic Objects are used to build HMIDisplays. There is a selection of Global Objectsavailable for each Process Library Element.

These Global Objects can be imported into displaysand provide visual feedback to the user. Clicking onthese devices will launch the associated Faceplate.

The Process Library Global Objects can be foundunder the Global Objects Tab of the FactoryTalkView Studio application.

7/31/2019 PR07

18/92

18 of 92

Faceplates Faceplates automatically launch when you click onthe Graphic Object in a Display.

They are used to display detailed informationrelating to a device. They provide the user with theability to reconfigure the device.

These faceplates incorporate security featureswhich restrict a users ability to configure andmanipulate devices.

The Faceplates are associated with GraphicObjects and do not need to be individuallyconfigured.

The Process Library consists of the following,

P_AIN Analog Input

Controller Layout

Throughout this Lab Section we will be working with RSLogix 5000 Software. This application will be open

on your PC.

Select this application and view the Project Tree along the left hand side. The application

PlantPAx_Cont_Master should be open and online with the Emulator Controller.

We have chosen to organize the application by Functional Areas (Tasks\Programs) and Devices

(Routines).

We have created the task _8000_Mix to contain the code that will control the Mix Area. This is an Event

Task which is triggered from the MainTask every 250ms.

7/31/2019 PR07

Adding a Control Valve (XV8000) to the Controller

In this section we will add a Control Valve to our application. We will make use of the P_ValveSO Device

from the Process Library.

Initially, we will insert the AOI in the Logix ACD file. Later, we will add the associated Visualization

elements to the HMI. (Graphical Object and Faceplate)

We have divided the Mix Area into 2 functional sub-areas,_8000_MixTank and_8100_StorageTank

We wish to add XV8000 to our application. This element will be added to the_8000_MixTank program.

To do this,

1. Expand the_8000_Mix Task and the component Program_8000_MixTank. Right click on the

Program icon and click on New Routine

2. The New Routine window will open. The new routine should be named XV8000 and should be of

Type Function Block Diagram. Click on OK

.

[Note - We are connecting a 1 to the PCmd_Acq input to ensure that the Valve will default to

Program Mode any time that the operator does not request it from the associated HMI

faceplate.]

16. In a similar fashion we can now add an OREF and connect it to the Out terminal as shown below:

7/31/2019 PR07

28/92

28 of 92

17. One final thing, we must add instructions to insure that this routine is executed. We do this by

adding a rung to the MainRoutine that calls this routine.

18. Open MainRoutine by double clicking on the icon in the Project Tree

19. Right Click on the highlighted area and select Add Ladder Element.

20. Type in JSR in the Add Ladder Element popup. Click OK

7/31/2019 PR07

29/92

29 of 92

21. This inserts a JSR (Jump to Subroutine) instruction in the Rung. Double Click on the Routine

Name Entry Box and type in XV8000. Hit Enter.

22. Now, Right Click Input Par and select Remove Instruction Parameter. Then Right Click on

Return Par and select Remove Instruction Parameter for the Input Par and Return Par. This

removes the unneeded instruction parameters.

23. We must now Finalize the edits by pressing the button at the top of the sheet. You will be

asked if you want to Finalize All Edits in Program? Click Yes. The changes will now be

downloaded to the controller.

24. You may want to Save your application by Pressing the Save icon in the top left corner of the

Logix application. Click Yes to save all changes and Yes to upload the current tag values.

7/31/2019 PR07

30/92

30 of 92

25. Now that the logic has been added to the controller, you may want to view the actual instance of

the ladder logic for valve XV8000 and the tag data associated with it. In the Project Tree area on

the left hand side of the RSLogix application, scroll down to the Add-On Instructions area. Expand

the Add-On Instructions and expand the P_ValveSO selection, then double click Logic.

26. The logic file that opens is the base AOI logic but it is not connected to any tags so there is no

live data. In order to view the logic with data for the XV8000 valve, you need to select the specific

instance of the AOI. There is a pull-down window in the upper right corner of the logic display that

selects each instance of the AOI within the controller. Use the pull-down window to select theXV8000 instance. Once selected, the logic will be shown for valve XV8000 with current data

which can be used to monitor or trouble shoot the logic.

27. There is also parameter and local tag data associated with the instance of the AOI for valve

XV8000 you may want to view or modify. In the Project Tree area on the left hand side of the

RSLogix application, right click Parameters and Local Tags and then select Monitor Tags in

the pop-up menu. This opens a generic tag window for the AOI. Use the pull-down window in the

top left corner to select the XV8000 instance of the AOI to view specific data for the valve. Most

of the data that needs to be modified by an engineer can be modified by HMI faceplate displays

that will be added later in this lab, but this is where the data is stored in the controller if you want

to view or modify it.

[Note If the Data Context field is not available for selection, please verify that the tag screen is set

to Monitor and not Edit. Look at the bottom of the Tag Display and select Monitor Tags]

Congratulations! You have just added a fully functional Control Valve to ourPlantPAx Application!

What Have We Learned in this Section?

1. TheAOIs contained in the Process Library encapsulate allthe functionality required to manage and control an individualdevice.

2. Adding these components to a PlantPAx System is simple.

3. Library instances can be added to your application without

disrupting your existing plant operations.

Importing / Exporting Devices On the Fly

We have seen how easy it is to add a module to your PlantPAx System. This works very well if you are

building a small system but for larger systems you will look for ways to limit the busy work involved in

development.

PlantPAx allows an Engineer to export routines to XML files. These files can then be re-imported into any

ACD file.

Later we will see how an Engineer can use these XML files as a storage location for generic device

configurations or templates. These configurations can then be used as a starting point for new devices.

Best of all, this can all be done without interrupting the operation of your plant!

Before we can import a routine and experience the benefits of importing XML files we must generate the

XML file by exporting it from our application.

Exporting A Routine

1. Return to the Logix 5000 application. Right Click on the Routine XV8000 and click on Export

Routine.

7/31/2019 PR07

45/92

45 of 92

2. Logix will prompt you to enter a File Name and Location for the exported XML file. In our case we

selected the location C:\PlantPAxDemo\Modules for Import\Routines:

3. Now enter the File Name XV8000 for the Routine and click on Export. If asked to replace an

existing file of that name click yes.

7/31/2019 PR07

46/92

46 of 92

4. You will be asked if you want to upload the tags values from the controller. Click Yes

The XV8000 Routine has now been exported and is available for import.

Now, how do we use this routine?

Importing A Routine

We would like to import the routine XV8000 to use as a template for building a new routine, XV8001.

1. Right Click on the program_8000_Mix_Tank and select Import Routine

2. Now select the Routine XV8000 that you exported in the previous step. Click Import.

7/31/2019 PR07

47/92

47 of 92

3. After a delay, the following popup will appear.

As there is already a Routine with the current name in the project, Logix gives you the option to use

this file. In this case, both files are identical so it will not matter if we choose Use Existing or

Overwrite.

You must specify the Final Name that you want this is the name of the new routine that will be

created after the import. In this case we should enterXV8001 as our Routine Name. Now click OK.

4. Because this import is being performed online, the system asks us how we wish the logic to be

imported. We will select Import Logic and Edits as Pending since we need to edit this module

before compiling. Click on OK

7/31/2019 PR07

48/92

48 of 92

5. The import will now take place. The routine called XV8001 will be created. The contents of this

routine will be identical to the exported XV8000 module.

6. The Engineer would now edit this module to use the XV8001 tag and associated IO. He would

then add a JSR to call this routine and add the appropriate graphics to the HMI Application. You

will be editing the XV8001 Routine later in this lab, so you do not have to modify it now. You canopen up the XV8001 Routine to view the contents and see that it is identical to the XV8000

Routine.


Logix application. Click Yes to upload the tag values.

Building Large Projects

When working with larger systems, the benefits of adopting a smart Work Flow will multiply. PlantPAx is a

very flexible system and each engineer may develop a slightly different Work Flow to maximize

productivity and quality. In this section, we will implement one Work Flow that an Engineer could use to

develop a system.

Our Workflow

In designing a Workflow, it is important to identify common aspects of a system and then manage these

accordingly.

Our Work Flow is as follows:

1. Create Generic Template Files

2. Create Alias Tags for IO which are aligned with Templates.

3. Import Template Files

4. Search and Replace Generic Tags within each Template.

We have already seen that individual routines can be exported from an ACD file and later imported back

into an ACD file. This gives us the ability to manage device configurations external to the ACD file that

can lead to significant efficiencies in building an application.

To help you, we have created the following template files:

File Name Whats In It?

AnalogSensor.L5X P_AIn

Dosing.L5X P_DoseFM

PID.L5X PIDE Instruction

SingleSpeedMotor.L5X P_Motor, P_Perm, P_Intlk, P_Reset, P_RunTime

ValveSO.L5X P_ValveSO, P_Perm and P_Intlk

VSD.L5X P_VSD, P_Perm, P_Intlk, P_Reset, P_RunTime

Spread over multiple sheets for clarity

These can be found in the folderC:\PlantPAxDemo\Modules for Import\Routines

Alias tags are tags that reference memory defined by another tag. Anytime we reference an Alias Tag, we

are really referencing the underlying tag.

7/31/2019 PR07

50/92

50 of 92

We have completed the following tasks in preparation for this Lab.

We started with the electrical drawings and IO list (below),

We used this information to populate rows in a spreadsheet. This spreadsheet was in a format that can

be imported into RSLogix 5000. These rows contained the information required to create generic Alias

Tags to actual IO tags. We ensured that the Alias Tag Names aligned with the IO tags used in the

Template Files. (eg. The Template File uses Motor_Running, we created an Alias Tag

MTR8000_Running)

We then imported the Tag spreadsheet into our application file (ACD). The Alias Tags now appear in the

Project Data Table

Because we have been careful to align the Alias Tags with the Template File, we can now perform a

simple Search and Replace on the Template File after it has been imported into the project as shown

below for the (Variable Speed Drive ) VSD template.

7/31/2019 PR07

51/92

51 of 92

By doing a search and replace on VSD, we can convert this generic module to a specific Motor.

Using Our Workflow

Now lets use this Work Flow. Initially we will import a VSD Module to our system. We will then use this

template file as a starting point for configuring MTR8000 in our Mix Application.

1. At this time save the project. In order to quickly develop the application you will need to go

offline. To do this, click on the controller icon in the top left hand corner and select Go Offline.

2. As before, right click on the _8000_MixTank and select Import Routine.

7/31/2019 PR07

52/92

52 of 92

3. Navigate to C:\PlantPAxDemo\Modules for Import\Routines and select the file VSD.L5X. Click

on Import. Logix will start importing the module.

7/31/2019 PR07

53/92

53 of 92

4. Now the Import Configuration Popup will appear. In this case we wish to create a Routine and

designate the name MTR8000. Now click OK.

5. The routine MTR8000 has now been imported and will appear as shown below. Double click on

the MTR8000 module to open it.

7/31/2019 PR07

54/92

54 of 92

6. The Routine will appear as shown below

Note that we have split this template over multiple sheets. You can select the other sheets via the

pull down menu located in the upper right edge of the sheet.

The decision to spread this configuration over multiple sheets was made to increase clarity. The

functionality of the code is unaffected.

7/31/2019 PR07

55/92

55 of 92

7. We now wish to find and replace all references to VSD with MTR8000. Hit Ctrl-F The Search

Window will open. Click on the Replace button.

8. Enter VSD and MTR8000 as shown. Make sure you select Current Routine and verify the

Wrap box is checked. Click the Replace All button.

9. Logix will now replace all references ofVSD with MTR8000. This will align the template to thepre-loaded tags and aliases. Click Close. This routine is now ready to compile and download.

7/31/2019 PR07

56/92

56 of 92

10. By repeating steps 2 9 we should be able to build the rest of the routines in the _8000_MixTank

program. The following tables summarize the tasks to be completed.

Please delete routines XV8000 and XV8001 before performing the imports listed below.

First we will import the Template Files (steps 2 5),

IMPORT ROUTINE FINAL NAME

Dosing.L5X FT8000

Dosing.L5X FT8001

Din.L5X LSL8000

AnalogSensor.L5X LT8000

ValveSO.L5X XV8003

ValveSO.L5X XV8004

7/31/2019 PR07

57/92

57 of 92

11. Next we need to perform a Search and Replace inside each routine (steps 6 9),

ROUTINE FIND WHAT REPLACE WITH

FT8000 DosingAin FT8000

FT8001 DosingAin FT8001

LSL8000 Din LSL8000

LT8000 Ain LT8000

TT8000 Ain TT8000

PMP8000 Motor PMP8000

XV8000 ValveSO XV8000





12. Finally we need to add JSRs to the MainRoutine to ensure that the Routines we have just

imported are executed. Open the MainRoutine by double clicking on the Module in the Project

Tree.

7/31/2019 PR07

58/92

58 of 92

13. Click on the area to the left of the second rung. This selects the Rung. Now Press Ctrl-C to copy

the Rung. Then press Ctrl-V to paste a copy of the rung into the routine.

[NOTE If you did not add the JSR for XV8001 earlier in the Lab, then there will only be one

Rung here. Select Rung 0 and copy as described above.]

14. The result is the addition of a third rung. Now Rung 2 by double clicking on XV8001 and replacing

it with XV8002.

15. In this manner we can add all the rungs necessary to call the routines in this program. When you

are done, there should be a total of twelve (12) Rungs (last Rung is number 11), each with a JSR

selecting a different Routine.

16. Next, we need to import the components that will be part of the_8100_StorageTank program.

Rather than continue to import and edit the individual Routines we can speed the process by

importing the entire_8100_StorageTank program. To do this, right click on the_8000_Mix Task

and select Import Program.

7/31/2019 PR07

59/92

59 of 92

17. The Import Program Popup will appear. This time, select C:\PlantPAx Demo\Modules For

Import\Programs\_8100_StorageTank.L5X and click on Import.

18. After a brief delay the Import Configuration Popup will appear. In this case, we want to Overwrite

the existing program so just click on OK.

7/31/2019 PR07

Logix application

20. The final step is to download the code we have just developed to the Logix Controller. Click on

the Controller menu in the top corner and select Download as shown below.

21. You will be asked to confirm the download task. Click Download. The download process will

begin.

7/31/2019 PR07

61/92

61 of 92

22. If the download does not complete try to debug using the messages in the lower pane. Please

notify your instructor if you need help.

23. If there are no errors in your code you will be notified that the Download has completed. The

controller will now be in Remote Program Mode. You should transition the controller to Run

Mode using the Controller Menu.

We have now added the code to control and monitor all of the devices in the Mixing Area. We

must now add the associated graphic objects to the HMI.

What Have We Learned?

1. Standard code modules can be imported into our application to speed up

configuration time and reduce mistakes.

2. By aligning our alias tags and template modules we can quickly build ourapplication.

3. This frees the Engineer to focus his efforts on the custom aspects of hisapplication. The resulting application inherits sophisticated functionality fromthe Process Library.

refresh the contents

57. Spend some time clicking on the various types of devices on the screen and reviewing the

functionality of the faceplates. The faceplates are designed to not only provide an operator

interface to the system, but to provide the engineer access to configuration parameters that can

modify the functionality of the device from the HMI with proper authorization without having to

access the controller from a separate engineering computer.

Building a System

We have now added the basic control components for building an application. We think you will agree

that this was a relatively painless task. In a matter of minutes we have added full functionality to control all

the devices in the Mix Area and also added the associated graphics to the HMI.

Now, we need to make these individual components work together as a cohesive system. The Process

Library includes modules which aid in this task. The P_Perm and P_Intlk devices can be used to logically

coordinate other library elements.

Interlocks and Permissives

The primary purpose of Interlocks and Permissives is to encode certain rules of operation for equipment.

These operational rules protect the equipment from Operator errors and may often be safety related.

Permissives are conditions that must be met for a device to be enabled.

Interlocks are condition that will cause a running device to be stopped.

Typically Permissives and Interlocks are used for handling exceptional cases. Your normal sequencing

code should be used to define normal operational starting and stopping. Permissives and Interlocks can

override requests from logic to start or stop equipment.

For example, we would not want to run PMP8000 ifXV8004 is not open or the Mix Tank 8000 is low level.

Running this pump while either of these conditions exists could result in the pump being damaged.

The following table summarizes the kind of conditions that might be added to our system.

Interlocks And Permissives Table

9. Return to the Plant PAx Demo Client. Click on the PMP8000 Graphic to launch its Faceplate.

10. In order to access the Permissive and Interlock Faceplates we need to configure the system to

recognize that there are Permissives and Interlocks associated with this pump. To do this click,

on the Engineering Tab and set the checkboxes as shown.

[NOTEYou may also want to change the labels to PMP8000 if it is not already configured]

13. Configure as shown below. When editing the text Descriptions, please hit the ENTER key after

each entry to download the data to the processor. A 1 in the OK State indicates that the

associated equipment will be allowed to run when this input is 1. In this case we want PMP8000

to run when XV8004 is opened but not when T8000 is low orT8100 is high.

14. Returning to the Interlock Home Tab you will see that the Pump is now Interlocked as XV8004 is

not open. The yellow outline indicates that this was the first condition activate the Interlock.

[NOTET8000 is not in Low Status as we have not set the Low Limit. As an exercise you may

want to do this and then verify that the second Interlock condition will now be set. Time permitting

you may also wish to open XV8004 and verify that the Interlock goes away]

Customizing the System

We have now built the basic framework for the Mix Application. The Engineer is now free to focus his

energies on building the custom aspects of his application.

To help him with this, PlantPAx offers 4 types of routines Ladder, Structured Text, Function Block

Diagramming and Sequential Flow Charts. If required, the Engineer can also make use of PhaseManager. He can mix and match all of the above as required.

PlantPAx allows the Engineer to build more elegant control system by allowing them to focus on the

unique aspects of his Process.

THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING THIS CLASS!
