Functional blocks

Function Block Structure

Input processing
Convert the input signal to the process variable PV.

Output processing
Convert the calculated value to the output variable MV.

Alarm processing
The detected process errors are reflected in the Alarm Status and displayed as messages to the operator.

Block mode (MODE)

Block Mode - determines the control status and the status of the outputs of the function block.

Basic block modes

MAN MANual The calculations are stopped, and the output is the value entered manually by the operator.
AUT AUTomatic Calculations are performed and the calculated value is fed to the output.
one CAS Cascade Calculations are performed, the specified CSV value comes from the upstream block.
The calculations are stopped, the specified CSV value comes from the upstream block directly to

the output.
RCAS Remote cascade Calculations are performed, the remote RSV setpoint comes from the dispatcher's computer.
0 Calculations are stopped, the remote RSV setpoint comes from the dispatcher’s computer directly
ROUT Remote out

Compound Block Mode - a functional block can be simultaneously in several basic modes with different
priorities. Active is the mode with the highest priority.

The transition from one mode to another is carried out by an external command (operator or other block) or
automatically by changing the internal state of the block itself (for example, if an I / O module fails).

Block Status (BSTS)

Block Status - shows the operating status of the function block.

Not all functional blocks have Block Status.

Accident status

The alarm status is displayed in the alarm status of the function block (ALRM).
Not all functional blocks have emergency status.

Blocking accidents

Alarm Detection (AF) - used to block the detection of alarms.

http://www.maxplant.ru/article/centum_fb.php#mode 4/13
11/7/2018 CENTUM VP function blocks

Suppression of accidents

Alarm Inhibition (AOFS) - is used to temporarily suppress alarm messages (at the same time, accidents
continue to be detected and affect the alarm status).

The operator can turn on AOFS only at once for all alarm messages of the function block, and in the program it
is possible to suppress the alarm messages individually.

Alarm flashing status

Alarm flashing status (AFLS) - the flashing status of an unacknowledged alarm.

Data status

Data Status - characterizes the accuracy of I / O data.

Data received from the I / O module is transferred from one functional unit to another along with information
about the validity. Functional blocks take this information into account in their actions.

Data Status

QueSTionable The quality of the data is questionable: not normal and not bad. The value obtained from the outside, manually

Regulators

Regulator input processing

Digital filter(digital filter) The

first-order inertial element filters the noise of the input signal.

Cal(calibration)
During maintenance or testing, the process variable (PV) or the calculated output value (CPV) can be manually
set by the operator.

BAD
BAD - a signal of poor quality.

PV overshoot
If the signal status is BAD, then its boundary value is substituted for the real signal.
