Notes:
The P_Reset (Central Reset) Add-On Instruction provides a central point for
resetting equipment faults. Latched alarms can be reset for a control strategy.
Add-On Instruction
The P_Reset instruction also includes a Reset Required input for collecting the
Ready to Reset outputs of the various instructions it resets and providing a Ready
to Reset (Reset Required) status that can illuminate a push button or make an
HMI Reset button visible.
The P_Reset instruction includes a timer function that causes its output to be
held on for at least a minimum time. This lets the reset signal be sent via physical
output cards to field devices that require it (for example, motor drives) and gives
time for the cleared status from the device to propagate back to Interlock or
Permissive inputs.
Do not use this instruction when you want to reset a single piece of equipment
(valve, motor). Use the Operator or Program Reset command directly on the
equipment.
Functional Description The P_Reset Add-On Instruction provides the following capabilities:
• Reset output for use by other instructions in a control strategy to reset
latched alarms (for example, P_AIn analog input alarms) or equipment
faults (for example, P_Motor motor faults)
• Operator Reset command for use by the HMI
• Program Reset command for use by control strategies
• Reset input for use by push button inputs or for cascading resets from
higher levels of the control hierarchy
• Reset Required input and Ready for Reset output for use in highlighting
to operators where a reset is required before the equipment can start
• Minimum On Time for the reset output to allow physical equipment to
clear faults and have the clear status propagate through the various
permissive and interlock instructions in the control strategy
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_Reset_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
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/global/support/pcdc.pageThis 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.
IMPORTANT The visualization file dependencies require Process Library content imports to
occur in a specific order as reflected in the following tables:
• Images
• Global Objects
• Standard Displays
• HMI Tags
• Macros
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.
Table 2 - Visualization Files: Images (.png)
FactoryTalk View SE Software FactoryTalk View ME Software Description
All .png files in the images folder All .png files in the images folder These are the common icons used in the global objects and
standard displays for all Process Objects.
The Global Object files (.ggfx file type) in the following table are Process Library
display elements that are created once and referenced multiple times on multiple
displays in an application. When changes are made to a Global Object, all
instances in the application are automatically updated.

Controller Code This section describes the parameter references for this Add-On Instruction.
Configuration parameters that are array, string, or structure data types cannot be
configured as parameters for Add-On Instructions. Configuration parameters of
these types appear as local tags to the Add-On Instruction. Local tags can be
configured through the HMI faceplates or in Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
application by opening the instruction logic of the Add-On Instruction instance
and then opening the Data Monitor on a local tag. These parameters cannot be
modified by using controller logic or Logix Designer application
export/import functionality.
Tag Name Data Type Default Description
Cfg_Desc STRING_40 'Multiple-Device Reset' Description for display on HMI. The string shows in the title bar of the
faceplate.
Cfg_Label STRING_20 'Reset' Label for graphic symbol displayed on HMI. This string appears on the graphic
symbol.
Cfg_Tag STRING_20 'P_Reset' Tagname for display on HMI. This string shows in the bottom right of the home
tab of the faceplate.
Operations This section describes the primary operations for the P_Reset
Add-On Instruction.
Modes
The P_Reset Add-On Instruction does not have modes and does not contain a
P_Mode instruction instance. The Operator and Program reset commands are
accepted at any time.
Alarms
Simulation
Execution
Condition Description
EnableIn False (false rung) Handling Sets up a low-to-high transition detection scheme. When the instruction is
again scanned as True, the transition is detected and the reset output pulses
for the required time. Otherwise, EnableIn False processing is identical to
normal true rung processing: the Operator Reset command, Program Reset
command and Reset Input function as in normal processing.
This lets the Reset instruction participate in a control hierarchy by using the
Inp_Reset input, yet be tied to a reset push button by using the rung state.
See the following section for an example.
The following illustration shows EnableIn False implementation with the input
condition mapped to the P_Reset instruction by using the Rung-In state.
Programming Example This example adds a unit-wide reset to an existing Function Block Diagram
motor control strategy for the fan of a cooling tower in a refinery.
The figure below shows all the additions to the existing motor control
strategy to add the unit reset function. It also shows example connections
for a hardwired illuminated Reset button.
8. In FactoryTalk View Studio, open the graphic for your motor control
strategy.
9. Open the (RA-BAS) Process Graphics Library Global Objects file.
10. Copy the Reset button object from the Global Objects file into your
strategy graphic.
11. Right click the object and select ‘Global Object Parameter Values’.
13. In the tag browser, select the tag CT_Reset and click OK.
14. Save and run your HMI and logic changes.
Now whenever a condition occurs that requires an operator reset, the reset
button becomes visible. You can click the button to send a reset to all the blocks
in the strategy that need it. Once the reset has propagated through the strategy,
the button disappears.
TIP The Mosquito Station sample application included in the Rockwell Automation
Library download has a Station Reset toolbar button implemented to illustrate
this same method for an entire pump station.
Display Elements This section describes the Operator Interface for the P_Reset instruction.
Graphic Symbols
Button Description
The same as the reset buttons used in other Process Library Faceplates and screens and is
for use on end-user process graphic displays.
The graphic symbol for the P_Reset instruction can be found in the global object
file (RA-BAS) Process Graphics Library.ggfx. Follow these steps to use the
graphic symbol.
1. Copy the global object from the global object file and paste it in the
display file.
2. In the display, right-click the global object and choose Global Object
Parameter Values.
3. Type the tag or value in the Value column as specified in the Description
column.
4. Click OK.
