1.1 Block name and installation position

Type/Number

Module name: C_PROFB

Module no.: FB1008

Calling OBs
All CEMAT Functions must be installed in the same OB and between the Runtime
groups OB1_START and OB1_END.
By default, the Runtime groups OB1_START and OB1_END are installed in OB1 (which had
advantages related to comfort and cycle time).
As other PCS 7 functions, such as CMT require the installation of the blocks in a cyclic interrupt
OB, we recommend – especially for green field plants – the installation of the CEMAT functions
in a cyclic interrupt OB (e. g. OB34 or OB35).
In this case the functions from runtime groups OB1_START and OB1_END must be called in this
cyclic interrupt OB as well. Please follow the instruction of Engineering Manual
14_Tips_Tricks_009.doc.

Note
It is not permitted to install the CEMAT Application Program in different OBs. In case of an
installation in a cyclic interrupt OB, all CEMAT blocks must be called in the same OB cycle. PCS 7
APL blocks MUST be installed in a cyclic interrupt OB.

1.2 General Function description

1.2 General Function description

Block C_PROFB can monitor binary or analog process feedback signals of a drive, such as speed
monitor or pressure signals. C_PROFB must always be linked to a drive block C_DRV_1D or
C_DRV_2D, because it needs to exchange information with the drive block.
In case of a process feedback fault the drive will be stopped via protection interlock. The alarm
is created by the process feedback block.
Depending on three different phases, during startup of the drive, during shutdown of the drive
or while the drive is running, the process feedback is evaluated differently, and different
messages are created in case of a fault:
• The duration of the “startup phase” can be configured via the start-up monitoring
time PFOnDTi. After this time the process feedback must be available.
• In the “running phase” the process feedback must stay, otherwise it comes to a trip, except
the flutter suppression is enabled (flutter suppression time FlutTm > 0). In this case the
interruption of the process feedback is tolerated for a certain time.
Flutter suppression is only possible for continuous inputs (not for pulses or analog values)
• The duration of the “shutdown phase” can be configured via shutdown monitoring
time PFOfDTi. After this time the process signal must be 0.

Read Process feedback signal:

The process feedback block can either evaluate a digital input or an analog value. The digital
input may be a continuous signal or pulses. The configuration is done via Feature settings:

BitNr. Function/Features Default val‐

ue
15 Analog process value monitoring FALSE
27 Process Feedback pulse evaluation FALSE

If Feature.bit15 = FALSE the binary input InSig or InSigB is evaluated as process

feedback signal. The process feedback may be available as continuous signal (1-Signal after the
drive is running) or pulses, depending on Feature.bit27:
• If Feature.bit27 = FALSE, input InSig or InSigB must be a continuous signal. The
input must get "1" after the drive is running and it must get "0" after the drive has been
stopped (except "shutdown monitoring" is disabled).
• If Feature.bit27 = TRUE, input InSig or InSigB must be pulsing after the drive is
running and pulses must stop after the drive has been stopped (except "shutdown
monitoring" is disabled).
If Feature.bit15 = TRUE, the analog input signal PV is evaluated as process feedback
signal. The value must exceed the startup OK limit StUpLim after the drive is running and must
be below Shutdown OK limit ShDoLim after the drive has been stopped (except "shutdown
monitoring" is disabled).

 Function
1.2 General Function description

Output of the Process signal:

The status of the process feedback signal is transmitted to the drive via output ProFB. The
process feedback is monitored after the electrical feedback arrived, and output ProFB is set to
1-Signal as soon as the process feedback is available. After output ProFB is set the drive status
changes from "startup" to "running".
By default setting the process feedback must arrive and stay within the “Start-up monitoring
time” PFOnDTi. This behavior can be changed in order to monitor the process feedback after the
“Start-up monitoring time” PFOnDTi has elapsed.
Default Feature bit setting:

BitNr. Function/Features Default val‐

ue
31 Process feedback monitoring also during start-up (PFOnDTi) TRUE

If Feature.bit31 = FALSE, the process feedback monitoring starts after the “Start-up
monitoring time” PFOnDTi has elapsed.
All further functions are optional and can be defined through corresponding parameterization
of the Feature bits and block parameters.

Signal evaluation:
The display and alarm behavior of the block can be configured through parameterization. Some
functions depend on Feature bit settings:

BitNr. Function/Features Default val‐

ue
13 Process feedback monitoring in all operating modes FALSE
14 Keep fault status up to new startup of drive FALSE
16 O_LINK used for message enable from drive (int. MsgEn) FALSE
29 Warning mode active FALSE
30 Shutdown monitoring TRUE

• After starting the drive in Automatic or in Manual mode, the process feedback must be
available within "Start-up monitoring time" PFOnDTi.
• If Feature.bit13 = TRUE the process feedback is monitored in all operation modes.
• While the drive is running, the process feedback must always be available, but fluttering is
tolerated if the flutter suppression time FlutTm > 0.
(only for binary, continuous input signals)
• The shutdown monitoring can be enabled via Feature bit setting. In this case, after the drive
has been stopped, the process feedback must be off within "shutdown monitoring
time" PFOfDTi.
• The enable messages interface MsgEn can be used in order to prevent an onrush of messages
in case of power failure. The message generation in the block is frozen and neither incoming
nor outgoing messages are created.
Via Feature bit setting the "message enable" can be carried out internally, via O_LINK
connection.

Process Feedback C_PROFB (V9.1)

Function Manual, 11/2020, A5E50300996-AA 7
Function
1.2 General Function description

• The fault status can be memorized (kept up to the next successful startup of drive) or not,
depending on a Feature bit setting.
• Via Feature bit settings the process feedback block can be switched into warn mode. In this
case Output OutSig remains "1" in case of a process feedback fault.

Enable, block or simulation functions:

Under certain circumstances it can be necessary to switch the process feedback block to
simulation mode. Switching to simulation requires an OS Permission:

BitNr. Function/OS Permission Default val‐

ue
15 1 = Operator can change to simulation TRUE
18 1 = Enable Single step mode change TRUE

If the block is switched to simulation, OutSig is set to 1-Signal and output ProFB corresponds
to the status of the drive (1-Signal if drive has been started, 0-Signal if drive has been stopped).
The change to simulation is carried out via diagnosis window or automatically if the AS is
switched to sequence test mode.
OS_Perm.bit15 must be TRUE to enable switching to simulation via OS.

Process parameters
Through process parameters the following values can be configured online:

• PFOnDTi (s) Start-up monitoring time for Process feedback supervision

• PFOfDTi (s) Shutdown monitoring time for Process feedback supervision
• ProFbTol (x 0.1s) Tolerance value in case of pulse evaluation
• FlutTm Flutter suppression time [s]
• SigOkTm Additional monitoring time [s] after fluttering suppression time
elapsed
• StUpLim Startup OK limit (PV must exceed this limit after Startup)
• ShDoLim Shutdown OK limit (PV must go below this limit after Shutdown)

 Function
1.3 Change of operation mode

1.3 Change of operation mode

The process feedback block always has the same mode as the drive block to which it is linked
via O_LINK. Mode change can not be carried out at the C_PROFB itself.
If the drive is in automatic mode or in an interlocked manual mode, a process feedback creates
a message and a dynamic fault for drive and process feedback block.
If the drive is in non-interlocked manual mode or in local mode, a process feedback fault does not
influence the drive start. The process feedback block just indicates the status of the input, but
it does not show “faulty” and does not create any message.
The behavior for non-interlocked manual mode and local mode can be changed via Feature bit
setting:

BitNr. Function/Features Default val‐

ue
13 Process feedback monitoring in all operating modes FALSE

If Feature.bit13 = TRUE the process feedback monitoring is enabled in all operating modes.
In case of a process feedback fault the motor will be stopped and the Process feedback block
creates an alarm message.

Note
Please keep in mind that if the Process Feedback monitoring is activated in all operating modes,
even in local mode the Process Feedback fault must be acknowledged before a restart of the
drive (either through Operator station or through input Ack).
This requires a phone-call to the Operator or an acknowledgement button in the field.

Function
1.4 Configuration state

1.4 Configuration state

Due to safety reasons the status of the Feature bits and OS Permissions can only be modified if
the block is in configuration state. The block is in configuration state:
- if it is called for the first time in the program or
- during restart of the AS or
- if the block is in Out of Service mode or
- in sequence test mode (PIN protected)

Note
For a running plant this means that for any modification of Feature bits or OS Permissions the
module must be set to Out of Service mode.

Feature Master block

Features and OS Permissions related to the operating or programming philosophy must be
consistent in all instances of the block. In order to ensure this, the relevant Feature bits and OS
Permission bits can be selected and defined once per block type via the Feature Master block
C_M_PROFB (located in the system chart). These settings can be applied to all instances of the
block type C_PROFB.
Modifications in the Feature Master settings are only applied by the instance if it is in
configuration mode OR if the automatic take-over of Feature Master settings is enabled. In any
case the instance will only accept the changes when the device is stopped.

1.5 Optional features

1.5 Optional features

Additional Fault Reset

For all Objects types for drives, annunciation blocks and measurements, there is an option to
memorize the trip until an additional “Fault Reset” button in the object faceplate is pressed.
Resetting the fault on object level forces the operator to look at the equipment to be reset.
Only dynamic faults are memorized, static faults don’t require additional Fault Reset.
The Fault Reset can only be carried out after the fault is cleared (after the fault is acknowledged
and gone).
The Fault Reset Function is enabled via the following Feature bit and OS Permission:

BitNr. Function/Features Default val‐

ue
12 Additional Fault reset function FALSE

Feature.bit12 = TRUE enables the function “Fault reset”

BitNr. Function/OS Permission Default val‐

ue
12 1 = Enable Fault reset FALSE

OS_Perm.bit12 = TRUE enables the “Fault reset” button.

Note
As the process feedback block is always linked to a drive block, the Fault reset function must be
enabled for the drive and for the C_PROFB block.

1.6 Sequence Test

1.6 Sequence Test

The sequence test mode can be used for program test without the periphery being available.
This is very useful for general function tests, for the Factory Acceptance Test or for Operator
Training.
The sequence test mode always applies to the complete PLC and must be enabled via System
chart SYSPLCxx, block C_FB_PLC at input SEQ_TEST. A PLC restart is necessary in order to switch
into Sequence test mode and back.
In the sequence test mode all block inputs related to physical I/Os are simulated internally and
the corresponding connections to the block inputs are not evaluated any more.
In the sequence test mode the signal status of the inputs can be simulated via diagnosis view of
the process feedback faceplate, where the status indications are converted into simulation
buttons which allow “switching” of the inputs:
• After the Sequence Test mode is enabled, by default all inputs are in healthy condition and
the simulation buttons appear.
• For Signals InSig and InSigB, a click on the button changes the signal status (toggle
function). The same applies to signal PV, where not the Process Value is simulated, but the
condition.
1-Signal = healthy; 0-Signal leads to a fault in case the drive was started.
The sequence test mode includes a function for saving, restoring or interrupting the simulation.
This can be carried out via block C_FB_PLC, inputs SimSave, SimLoad and SimPause in System
chart SYSPLCxx. See Engineering Manual 06_AS_Engineering_009.

InSig (IN_SIG)

InSig (IN_SIG) Input Signal

Format STRUCT
Interface InSig is used to monitor a binary input as process feedback signal. The signal is eval‐
uated together with the running signal RunSig of the motor.
Via feature bit settings the kind of evaluation is configured:

BitNr. Function/Features Default val‐

ue
15 Analog process value monitoring FALSE
27 Process feedback pulse evaluation FALSE

If Feature.bit15 = FALSE interface InSig (or InSigB) is evaluated.

If Feature.bit15 = TRUE interface PV is evaluated.
If Feature.bit27 = FALSE the input must be a continuous signal.
If Feature.bit27 = TRUE input InSig (or InSigB) must deliver pulses.
After starting the motor, input InSig (or InSigB) must be "1" (or continuously pulsing) within
Start-up monitoring time PFOnDTi.
After stopping the motor, input InSig (or InSigB) must be "0" within Shutdown monitoring
time PFOfDTi. Shutdown monitoring can be disabled via feature bit:

BitNr. Function/Features Default val‐

ue
30 Shutdown monitoring TRUE

If Feature.bit30 = TRUE the shutdown monitoring is enabled.

Note
The CFC does not permit direct connection of Structure inputs to the binary process image,
because of different formats. You must either use block input InSigB instead or insert a PCS 7
driver block Pcs7DiIn or a converter (StruDiOu).

InSig.ST Signal status Default: 16#FF

Format BYTE
Structure variable InSig.Value has Properties Text 0 and Text 1. Via these properties, texts
can be configured which are displayed in the in the status call function of the group/route.
Text 0 is used for the status call.
Text 1 is not used at the moment.

InSigB

InSigB Input Signal (Bool) Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
Input InSigB has exactly the same function as Structure variable InSig.Value and can be
used for direct connection to a Hardware input from the Symbols file. (Because the connection
of Hardware input to Structure is not possible.)
Input InSigB is evaluated if InSig is not connected.With 0-signal at this interface the an‐
nunciation function is blocked.

Note
Using binary input InSigB instead of Structure input InSig, Text 0 and Text 1 must still be
configured at structure input InSig.Value.

PV

PV Input Signal
Format STRUCT
Interface PV is used to monitor an analog input as process feedback signal. The signal is eval‐
uated together with the running signal RunSig of the motor.
Via feature bit settings the kind of evaluation is configured:

15 Analog process value monitoring FALSE

If Feature.bit15 = FALSE interface InSig (or InSigB) is evaluated.

If Feature.bit15 = TRUE interface PV is evaluated.

MsgEn (ENAL)

MsgEn 1 = Enable message Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
With 0-signal at this interface the annunciation function is blocked.
Typical application:
In case of a control voltage failure for MCC or field signals, an alarm message would be triggered
for each sensor signal. To prevent this, you have to connect the control voltage signal to the
enable message interface MsgEn of the process feedback block.
If MsgEn has 0-Signal, the process feedback block does not create any incoming or outgoing
message. The fault message for "control voltage failure" must be generated by an annunciation
module, which has to be engineered for this purpose.

Note
If MsgEn has 0-Signal the process feedback fault is not shown in the summarizing indication of
group and route and not listed in the status call.

Via feature bit setting, the message enable can be transmitted through the O_LINK interface.

Operating principle
2.1 Input interfaces

With Feature.bit16 = TRUE the status of MsgEn from the drive block is transmitted to the
process feedback block. No further connection to MsgEn of the process feedback block is
required.

Ack (ACK)

Ack 1 = acknowledge (additional) Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
The acknowledgement of the process feedback block is normally carried out together with the
acknowledgement of any alarm within the same AS (default setting). Interface Ack is only
needed for individual acknowledgement (via push-button) or in case of group-wise acknowl‐
edgement.
A signal change from "0" to "1" at Ack acknowledges the process feedback block (resetting
flag DynFlt).
In case of a conventional control desk, a push-button can be connected to Ack (for individual
acknowledgement) or to the acknowledgement interface at block C_PUSHBT can be used (for
AS-wise acknowledgement).

Note
Using Ack for individual acknowledgement, the acknowledgement interface at the C_PUSHBT
must not be connected.

For group-wise acknowledgement connect the output AckGr of the corresponding group to
interface Ack of the process feedback block. See Engineering Manual, chapter AS-Engineering.
Via Feature bit settings the internal acknowledge can be disabled, in order to allow exclusively
the acknowledgement via interface Ack:

BitNr. Function/Features Default val‐

ue
19 Only Interface Ack for acknowledgement active FALSE

With Feature.bit19 = TRUE only the interface Ack is active for acknowledgement.

Note
If additional Fault Reset is enabled the fault status bits are not automatically acknowledged
with Ack. After clearing the fault the Operator has to press “Fault reset” in the faceplate of the
process feedback block.

ProFbTol Tolerance value for process feedback Default: 50

Format INTEGER (1 - 9999)
Time value = ProFbTol * 0,1s. (Default setting accords approximately 5 seconds).
In case of pulse evaluation the process feedback block should sense an edge change at the pulse
input within this time. Only then the output ProFB becomes 1-signal.
With OS_Perm.bit 31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change of the Tolerance value
for process feedback.

Flutter suppression
If the drive is running, a loss of the Process feedback may happen, e. g. due to an uncertain
signal. The flutter suppression function can be used in order not to stop the drive immediately
in this case.
For activating the flutter suppression, parameter FlutTm must be > 0
The following time diagram shows the function:

Scenario 1: Fluttering only happens within Flutter suppression time FlutTm

The process signal gets unhealthy (once or a couple of times), but all failures happen within the
flutter suppression time FlutTm and will therefore be ignored. After this the signal stays healthy
within monitoring time SigOkTm.
Block output ProFB remains “1”
Number of fluttering cycles MaiFlutCyc increases by 1.
Scenario 2: Fluttering happens within the Monitoring time SigOkTm
The process signal gets unhealthy (once or a couple of times) within flutter suppression time
FlutTm (similar to scenario 1) and will therefore be ignored. But after this the signal does not
remain healthy for the duration of monitoring time SigOkTm.
Block output ProFB changes to “0” and stops the drive.
Number of fluttering cycles MaiFlutCyc increases by 1.
Scenario 3: Fluttering happens longer than Flutter suppression time FlutTm
The process signal gets unhealthy (once or a couple of times), and it is still unhealthy when the

Number of fluttering cycles MaiFlutCyc increases by 1.

FlutTm

FlutTm Flutter suppression time [s] Default: 0

Format INT (0 - 999)
Value in seconds
Parameter FlutTm specifies the maximum permitted fluttering time.
Once the flutter-monitoring is activated this timer will start to count down as soon as InSig is
lost (falling edge of InSig is detected) during the monitored drive is running. The fluttering
timer will count down (beginning with FlutTm) until the parametrized time is elapsed. During
the count down, block output FlutAct ist set to “1”.
With the first loss of the process signal the fluttering counter MaiFlutCyc is increased by one.
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change of the Flutter suppression
time.

SigOkTm

SigOkTm Additional monitoring time [s] after fluttering Default: 0

suppression time elapsed
Format INT (0 - 999)
Value in seconds
Parameter SigOkTm specifies the timespan necessary to identify an input signal as "healthy"
after fluttering was detected (InSig must be healthy at least for this time in order to hold the
output of ProFB as "healthy").
The timer starts counting down as soon as the FlutTm has elapsed if InSig is "healthy".
If the InSig is "unhealthy" when the FlutTM has elapsed, the SigOkTm is not triggered, the
output of ProFB directly is set to "unhealthy".
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change of the Flutter suppression
time.

2.1.5 OS Permissions and Features:

OS Permissions and Features:

Via Feature bits certain functions of the Cemat block can be enabled and disabled and the
behavior of the block can be configured.
Via OS Permissions operator actions can be enabled or disabled.
Due to safety reasons it is not possible to change the status of the Feature bits and OS
Permissions online. The Cemat block C_PROFB works with an internal memory which is only
refreshed in configuration state
• if it is called for the first time in the program or
• during restart of the AS or
• if the block is in Out of Service mode or
• in sequence test mode (PIN protected)

Note
If the block is in normal operation (none of the above mentioned situations) the inputs Feature
and OS_Perm are only read from the internal memory.
The HMI always shows the status of the internal memory.

Modification of Feature bits and OS Permissions:

The modification of Feature bits and OS Permissions is only possible in configuration state. Only
the Feature bit settings which are consistent (without error, ErrorNum = 0) are accepted.

Note
For a running plant this means that for any modification of Feature bits or OS Permissions the
module must be set to Out of Service mode.

General settings at the Feature Master:

It must be distinguished between Features and OS Permissions which define the general
operation or programming philosophy of a plant and Features and OS Permissions which enable
instance specific functions.
• Features and OS Permissions which define the general plant philosophy should be identical
in all instances of the block.
The Feature Master block C_M_PROFB (installed in the System Chart) enables the selection
and configuration of the relevant Feature bits and OS Permission bits (once per block type).
In configuration state (or if AutoFeatMast = 1 and the device is stopped) these bits are
transferred to the internal memory of Feature and OS_Perm, and thus cannot be
configured individually per instance. (See Engineering Manual, chapter AS-Engineering)
• The Feature bits and OS Permission bits which are not selected at the Feature Master block
can be configured individually at each instance.

Note
Both, the Feature bit settings of the Feature Master block and the Feature bit settings at the block
input Feature are only transferred to the internal memory if they are consistent (ErrorNum =
0).

Modification of the Feature Master settings:

In order to ensure that the Feature Master settings are always consistent, modifications of
Feature bits and OS Permissions are only accepted if the Feature Master block is “locked”. Change
input Lock at the Feature Master block to “1” and carry out the modifications. If the
modifications are completed, change input Lock back to “0”.
With the falling edge at input Lock the modifications are transferred to the output of the Feature
Master and available for the instances.
A counter value at the Feature Master will be increased by one. In addition to the counter, the
Feature Master block has two outputs locked and unlocked which can be connected to an
EventTs block in order to trigger a message.
For the automatic take-over of the new settings by the instance, input AutoFeatMast must
have 1-Signal and the drive must be stopped. If the connected drive is running, the process
feedback block will ignore the new settings. A counter in the Preset window of the process
feedback block shows if there is a difference to the Master settings.

FeatMaster

FeatMaster Use OS permission and Feature bits from master Basic state 1-Signal
Format BOOL
Input FeatMaster is set to “S7-link = false” (cannot be connected).
With 1-Signal at input FeatMaster, the selected bits of the Feature Master block
inputs Feature and OS_Perm are transferred to the CEMAT block, when the module is in
configuration state. These bits cannot be adjusted individually.
With 0-Signal at input FeatMaster the settings in the Feature Master block are not relevant
and all Feature bits and OS Permissions must be adjusted individually per instance.

In this case, make sure that the settings which normally come from the Feature Master are
consistent and correct.

AutoFeatMast

AutoFeatMast Auto take-over of feature and OS perm. bits Basic state 1-Signal
Format BOOL
1-Signal at input AutoFeatMast enables the automatic take-over of the Feature bit and OS
Permission settings from Feature Master (without being in configuration mode). This only
works if input FeatMaster has 1-Signal and if the drive is stopped.
If the connected drive is running and the Feature bits or OS Permissions in the Feature Master
block are changed, the Preset window of the process feedback block displays a value > 0 as
“Difference to feature master”. The take-over will be carried out with the next stop of the drive
and the counter will be reset.

OS_Perm

Via APL block EventTs additional messages can be created. The message class can be of any
type.
Connect the Output EventTsOut of the EventTs block to input EventTsIn of the C_PROFB.
The messages of the block EventTs get the tagname of the process feedback block. If the
C_PROFB is in “Out of Service” or if messages are disabled with MsgEn = “0”, the messages from
the EventTs block are suppressed.
Event text and message class must be configured in the Message Configuration of the EventTs
block. Free Text 1 cannot be entered in the message configuration in the CFC (because for the
attribute S7_alarm_ui = 1), but in order to be consistent with the CEMAT blocks Free Text
1 can be modified in the process object view.

Note
Block EventTs must be installed in a Cyclic interrupt OB. The installation of block EventTs in OB1

2.2 Group and Object links

Group/Route links
There is no direct link to the group or route.

Object links to master objects

Process feedback blocks always belong to a drive and do not have a link interface to the group
(or route). The process feedback block must be linked to a drive block via O_LINK. The drive
forwards the status of the process feedback block to the group.

The drive block collects the information and forwards it to the group (or route). The result is as
follows:
• All objects, linked to the drive are listed in the drive object list and in the group (or route)
object list (one level below the drive).
• All objects, linked to the drive are highlighted in the process picture with button "Show
related objects".
• The warnings of all objects, linked to the drive are included in the external warning indication
of the drive and in the summarizing warning indication of the group (or route).
• The faults of all objects, linked to the drive are included in the external fault indication of the
drive and in the summarizing fault indication of the group (or route).
• In case of a dynamic fault during the startup of the group, the group start will be interrupted.
Via additional feature bit settings, control commands can also be transmitted through the object
link interface.

Using C_MUX blocks the runtime sequence is crucial for the functionality of the System,
especially if you connect the same C_MUX block to more than one CEMAT Object. The only valid

which are linked via O_LINK to the drive)
2. C_MUX block (single C_MUX or cascaded C_MUX blocks)
3. Parent Objects (C_DRV_1D, C_DRV_2D, C_DAMPER and C_VALVE) and all Annunciations and
Measurements with direct link to Groups or Routes
4. Corresponding Routes
5. Corresponding Group
Make sure that this sequence is strictly followed and that it is not “interrupted” by the connection
to a different C_MUX block or by any direct connection to a Group or Route!!!

SIG1 Process feedback Alarm - high 0 P
SIG2 Process feedback Warning - high 0 P
SIG3 Process feedback start‐ Alarm - high 0 P
up
SIG4 Process feedback start‐ Warning - high 0 P
up
SIG5 Process feedback shut‐ Alarm - high 0 P
down
SIG6 Process feedback shut‐ Warning - high 0 P
down
SIG7 0
SIG8 Still faulty Alarm - high 0 P

The Event text (Message text in CFC) for SIG1 to SIG6 must be configured for each instance.
Each message is classified as process fault (P) (Fault class).
Still faulty message:
During start in automatic mode, any failure which inhibits the drive start leads to an interrupt of
the start procedure and must therefore be reported by an alarm message.
PCS7 can create the (incoming) alarm message only once and does not support the repetition
of incoming alarm messages without outgoing message. For this reason, CEMAT creates a
Message “Still faulty” for any alarm message which needs to be repeated.
The current operational state of the drive is automatically taken into consideration during the
fault analysis.
• no superfluous fault annunciations are created
• the operator does not need to manually disable/suppress any annunciations.
Through connection of the control voltage signal to interface enable messages MsgEn, the
messages of the block are suppressed in case of a power failure (in order to avoid misleading
alarms and annunciation storm).

Operator Commands 6
Refer to the Variable details for the assignment of the command word COMMAND.
In case the block receives two commands in the same CPU cycle, the command from interface
COMMAND has higher priority.
Operator commands are restricted by the following criteria:
• Feature bit settings:
Via feature bits the complete function can be enabled or disabled.
• OS PermissionLog:
Via OS Permission it can be decided to allow or not to allow operator action.
The OS PermissionLog is built dependent on the OS Permissions and the actual status of the
object. (Example: Group start is enabled via OS Permission, but if the group is already running
completely the OS_PermLog = FALSE and the button “start” is disabled).
• Operation authorization levels
Via WinCC User Administration Operation authorization levels are defined. Each user gets the
permission to operate certain levels in certain areas.
The currently logged in user can carry out any operation belonging to this level.
• The Operation authorization level for each type of operation is defined at the block
parameters in the CFC and can be modified. This allows modular (instance specific)
adjustments for individual operator commands.
If additional authorization levels are defined in WinCC, operation can be permitted to
restricted personnel only.

Feature Bits

Please consider that the Feature bit settings can only be changed in configuration state. For a
running plant this means that the drive block has to be in Out of Service mode.
If the block is in configuration state and the feature bit settings are consistent (ErrorNum = 0),
the Feature Master block settings and the status of Feature are transferred into the internal
memory of the module.
