Basic Features of the Library
Introduction
The PCR library objects are designed to perform closed loop control in complex and sluggish first
order normal and integrative process. The PCR library algorithms/functions are based on the
model based predictive control technology and is dedicated to SISO (Single Input Single Output)
processes.
You can use this library objects with APC Standard library function blocks, PES system library
objects and any of the available segment-specific libraries. For example, Liquid Food Library,
Water Library, and so on.
The library object design is divided into three major parts:
Unity Pro Derived Function Block (DFB): Contains the data structure and functional logic for
the operation of the library block.
Vijeo Citect Genie Element: Provides the simplest visual representation of various aspects of the
device on HMI graphic page.
Vijeo Citect Faceplates: Enables you to operate the device with the help of faceplates to take
decisions on device operation, simulation, alarm management, device data, and so on.
The PCR library blocks perform the following functions:
 Control and Supervision:
 Management of owner (Program and Operator).
 Management of operating modes (Auto, Manual, and Cascade).
 Graphic and colored view of objects in runtime with status display (genies).
 Alarms:
 Enable/disable of the detected alarms.
NOTE: When the detected alarms are disabled, this information is listed in Alarm Summary
tab/alarm line that is available in the PES template.
 Acknowledgement of the detected alarms and alerts.

 Closed loop control in complex and sluggish first order normal and integrative process:
 Parameterizable loops and logging of the data for example, process value (PV), setpoint
(SP), and output (OP).
 Bar graph shows the SP, PV, and controller output.
 Loop trends (process analyst).
 Modes of operation through the Auto/Manual/Cascade.
 Trend:
 Process analyst for the measurements, loops, and actor status.
 Customizable trend pens (at both design time and runtime).
 Real time/historic mode.
 Operator log:
 Operator actions are logged.
12 EIO0000001810 02/2014

AP_PSF1
Introduction
General
The AP_PSF1 block is used for simple control of first order process with time delay.
The AP_PSF1 algorithm is based on predictive control principles:
 An internal model of process is used to predict the future behavior of the system. The model is
composed of 3 parameters (see figure below):
 WKM: static gain
 WTM: time constant
 WDM: time delay
The continuous transfer function of the internal model is:
 The following constraints on the manipulated variable (Y) can be considered:

 WOUTLIM.min: minimum value for Y
 WOUTLIM.max: maximum value for Y
 WYRATE: maximum variation for Y
Function Description
This table summarizes the main functions of the AP_PSF1 block:
Mode control You can control the block in Auto, Manual, and Cascade modes.
There are two modes attributes:
 Program
 Operator
Measurements, setpoints The faceplate of the block displays the process value, setpoints, and
and controls in physical units manipulated value with the respective physical unit.
High/low control limits The block supports the high/low output limits configuration.
High/low setpoint limits The block supports the high/low setpoint limits configuration.
Setpoint-progression control The block supports setpoint-progression control using a ramp and/or a first-

AP_PSF1
Tracking mode The block supports the tracking mode feature.
Alarm management The block displays detected process alarms (in case of high/low peak limiting
and SP/PV deviation) and detected internal component fault alarms (in case
block detects internal error). You can enable/disable these detected alarms
from the faceplate. These detected alarms are displayed both in the genie and
faceplate.

This table describes the sections of the Control tab:
Subsection Description
Trend display An instant trend window displays the real-time value of the output PV, SP and OP.
Click anywhere inside the Trend window to open the Process Analyst window, which
displays the trend of process value, setpoint, and PSF1 output value.
Bar graph The first and second bar graphs indicate the PV (filled with cyan color) and SP (filled with
green color).
Displays the value of the variable input maximum range on the top of these two bar graphs.
Displays the value of the variable input minimum range at the bottom of these two bar
graphs.
The PV bar graph also contains four level indicators for detected Very High Threshold
alarm, detected High Threshold alarm, detected Low Threshold alarm, and detected
Very Low Threshold alarm (the detected alarm level indicator is not visible when AP_AA
block of APC libraries is not linked).The colors of these indicators change according to the
state of the respective detected alarm. When any of these detected threshold alarms are
disabled, the alarm bell symbols and level indicator of that particular threshold disappear.
The third bar graph indicates the PSF1 controller output (filled with yellow color) is scaled
from WOUTSCAL.U0 to WOUTSCAL.U100.
Owner The DFB manages control system level, which is the owner (Operator or Program). As a
result, it is responsible for setting the setpoint to the desired position (in the Auto mode of
the PSF1 controller) or the manual output (in the Manual mode of the PSF1 controller).
Two mode attributes are:
 Program: When owner is Program, the control/action of PSF1 controller is controlled by
sequential control (SC (see page 42) public variable for more details) and in this case,
the objects on the faceplate are disabled.
 Operator: When owner is Operator, the control/action of PSF1 controller is controlled
by faceplate.
To operate these buttons, you must be the Operator or above (privilege level ≥ 2).
If you do not have the proper privilege level, these buttons are disabled.
PSF1 Operation Displays the numeric measure value PV, SP, and OP of the block with units.
Modes Allows you to select the PSF1 controller operating modes (for example, Auto, Manual, and
Cascade modes).
NOTE: Cascade button is activated only if external SP is selected in the parameters of
the instance while instantiating the object in PES. Otherwise, it is disabled.
If you do not have the proper privilege level, these buttons are disabled.

AP_PSF1
Setpoints The internal and external setpoint values with units are displayed as numeric display.
When Auto mode is selected, the numeric display of Int. SP changes to numeric entry
and you can enter the internal setpoint value. In this case, this internal setpoint becomes
the final setpoint of the PSF1 controller.
To enter the internal setpoint value, you must be the Operator or above (privilege level ≥ 2).
If you do not have the proper privilege level, the numeric entry is disabled.
If you enter an invalid value (that is, value out of the variable input maximum and minimum
range), a message appears displaying Value out of range.
The external setpoint numeric display is just below the internal setpoint. It displays the
value from XCASIN pin of the DFB (that is, externally coming from other block). When
Cascade mode is selected, this external setpoint becomes the final setpoint (SP) of the
PSF1 controller.
Current Mode This section is displayed only when Auto and Cascade modes are selected. This section
displays the current active mode of the PSF1 block.
Manual Control Appears only when the Manual mode is selected.
 allows you to enter the PSF1 controller output value manually
 displays the current manual output value, maximum output scale value, and minimum
output scale value.
You can enter the manual value from the numeric entry and from the increment/decrement
buttons (in 1% and 5% of the span).
When you enter any wrong value or any value outside the range of maximum and minimum
output scale value, a message appears displaying the text Value out of range.
2 buttons in Manual control section are as follows:
 Max
 Min
Max: Click the Max button; it assigns the PSF1 output value with the maximum output
scale value.
Min: Click the Min button; it assigns the PSF1 output value with the minimum output scale
value.
To operate these Min/Max and increment/decrement buttons and to enter the manual
value in numeric entry field, you must be the Operator or above (privilege level ≥ 2).

Initialization Mode
The XINIT flag is used to initialize the current and past states of the internal model. is needed
when the controller inputs (PV, actuator) are not representative of the process.
For instance, temperature measurement of an empty reactor or opened valve without real action
on the process.
Depending on the type of process on which the controller is applied (continuous or batch), the
initialization has to be performed once or at the beginning of each production.
XINIT has to be done when the process is stabilized, as follows:

Introduction
General
The AP_PIF1 block is used for control of integrative first order process with time delay.
The AP_PIF1 algorithm is based on predictive control principles:
 An internal model of process is used to predict the future behavior of the integrative system with
delay. The model is composed of 3 parameters (see figure below):
 WKM: static gain
 WTM: time constant
 WDM: time delay
The continuous transfer function of the internal model is:
 The integrative part is decomposed. This is tuned by WDECOMP variable. For stability sake, it is
better to set this input at the maximum value among:
 30 x Sampling time
 3 x Time constant
 Close loop response time
 The following constraints on the manipulated variable (Y) can be considered:

 WOUTLIM.min: minimum value for Y
 WOUTLIM.max: maximum value for Y
 WYRATE: maximum variation for Y
This table summarizes the main functions of the AP_PIF1 block:
Mode control You can control the block in Auto, Manual, and Cascade modes.
There are two modes attributes:
 Program
 Operator

Tracking mode The block supports the tracking mode feature.
Alarm The block displays detected Process Alarms (in case of high/low peak limiting and
management SP/PV deviation) and detected Internal Component Fault alarms (in case block detects
internal error). You can enable/disable these detected alarms from the faceplate. These
detected alarms are displayed both in the genie and faceplate.
NOTE: When the process variable XPV varies as a ramp before switching on the controller, it is
necessary to estimate the slope of this process variable XPV to initialize correctly the model. This
estimation is performed during the initialization phase, as long as INIT (either from DFB or from the
faceplate) equals TRUE. The duration of this phase is long enough to perform an estimation not
biased by the noise. In case of heavy noise, more than 10 periods may be required.

This table describes the sections of the Control tab:
Trend display An instant trend window displays the real-time value of the output PV, SP, and OP.
Click anywhere inside the Trend window to open the Process Analyst window,
which displays the trend of process value, setpoint, and PIF1 output.
Bar graph The first and second bar graphs indicate the PV (filled with cyan color) and SP (filled
with green color).
Displays the value of the variable input maximum range on the top of these two bar
graphs. Displays the value of the variable input minimum range at the bottom of these
two bar graphs.
The PV bar graph also contains four level indicators for detected very high
threshold alarm, detected high threshold alarm, detected low threshold alarm,
and detected very low threshold alarm (the detected alarm level indicator is not
visible when AP_AA block of APC libraries is not linked).The colors of these indicators
change according to the state of the respective detected alarm. When any of these
detected threshold alarms are disabled, the alarm bell symbol and level indicator of
that particular threshold disappear.
The third bar graph indicates the PIF1 controller output (filled with yellow color) is
scaled from WOUTSCAL.U0 to WOUTSCAL.U100.
Owner The DFB manages control system level, which is the owner (Operator or Program).
As a result, it is responsible for setting the setpoint to the desired position (in the Auto
mode of the PIF1 controller) or the manual output (in the Manual mode of the PIF1
controller).
2 mode attributes are:
 Program: When owner is Program, the control/action of PIF1 controller is
controlled by sequential control (SC (see page 78) public variable for more details)
and in this case, the objects on the faceplate are disabled.
 Operator: When owner is Operator, the control/action of PIF1 controller is
controlled by faceplate.
If you do not have the proper privilege level, the buttons are disabled.
PIF1 Operation Displays the numeric measure value PV, SP, and OP of the block with units.
Modes Allows you to select the PIF1 controller operating modes (for example, Auto, Manual,
and Cascade modes).
NOTE: Cascade button is activated only if external SP is selected in the parameters
of the instance while instantiating the object in PES. Otherwise, it is disabled.
If you do not have the proper privilege level, the buttons are disabled.

Setpoints The internal and external setpoint values with units are displayed as numeric display.
When Auto mode is selected, the numeric display of Int. SP changes to numeric
entry and you can enter the internal setpoint value. In this case, this internal setpoint
becomes the final setpoint of the PIF1 controller.
To enter the internal setpoint value, you must be the Operator or above (privilege
level ≥ 2). If you do not have the proper privilege level, this numeric entry is disabled.
If you enter an invalid value (that is, value out of the variable input maximum and
minimum range), a message appears displaying the text Value out of range.
The external setpoint numeric display is just below the internal setpoint. It displays
the value from XCASIN pin of the DFB (that is, externally coming from other block).
When Cascade mode is selected, this external setpoint becomes the final setpoint
(SP) of the PIF1 controller.
Current Mode This section will be displayed only when Auto and Cascade mode are selected. This
section displays the current active mode of the PIF1 block.
Manual Control Appears only when the Manual mode is selected.
 allows you to enter the PIF1 controller output value manually
 displays the current manual output value, maximum output scale value, and
minimum output scale value.
You can enter the manual value from the numeric entry and from the

AP_PZTR
Introduction
General
The AP_PZTR block is used for changing automatically the closed-loop time-response (CLRT)
when the process variable (XPV) is inside or outside a zone.
The AP_PZTR algorithm is based on basic principles:
 When the Process value is outside the zone, YCLRT is set to WCLRTLO. The controller puts the
PV back inside the zone.
 When the Process value is inside the zone, YCLRT varies linearly between WCLRTLO and
WCLRTHI as a function of the (PV-SP) deviation.

AP_PZTR
Detailed Description
Principles
The zone control is a way to obtain a smoother controller when the Process Value (XPV)is rather
close to its set point (XCASIN) in order to avoid active control actions produced by noisy
measurements.
The controller is thus less active than when the Process Value is far from the set point. This
technique is not equivalent to a dead zone, which does not act, as long as the Process Value is
within the dead zone.
The zone control does not leave any constant deviation. It will make the Process Value move back
slowly to the set point value.
 When XPV is outside the zone, the YCLRT is set to WCLRTLO (fastest response).
 When XPV is inside the zone, YCLRT is computed as follows:
YCLRT = WCLRTHI − (WCLRTHI − WCLRTLO) x |EPS|/WZONE
where EPS = XCASIN − XPV
This continuous variation of YCLRT with EPS avoids bumps when crossing the zone borders and
makes the controller strength proportional to the deviation.
This block will be used with Predictive controllers, as and when required.
