Function 1
Type/Number
Module name: C_STORAG

Module no.: FB1037
Calling OBs
All CEMAT Functions must be installed in the same OB, which is preferable OB1. The System
Chart SYSPLCxx contains infrastructure blocks which must be called at the Beginning
(Runtime group OB1_START) and at the End (Runtime group OB1_END) of this OB.
The application program must be called between OB1_START and OB1_END.
Calling of the CEMAT blocks in a cyclic interrupt OB (OB34 or OB35) is possible, but only if
the complete program is called in the same cyclic interrupt OB. In this case the infrastructure
blocks must as well be moved to the cyclic interrupt OB (see Engineering Manual chapter
Tips&Tricks)

Function
1.1 General Function description

Block C_STORAG provides the Operator with status information of the storage locations and
gives information about the contained material and the filling level. The storage type definition
defines whether it is a bunker, a silo, a multi chamber silo, a pile, or a water tank (visualization
information.)
In addition to that, there is the possibility of calling external applications like Stockpile manager,
Multi chamber charging or homogenization modules directly from the Faceplate.
As standard interfaces are used:
● analog value of the silo filling level,
● an enable, filling, and discharge signal
● static parameters like limits or timers.
The following Values are evaluated and announced depending on the enable of the
corresponding Storage Symbols:
● current storage filling level as digital value with a corresponding dimension

● current storage filling level as bar
● Storage full
● Storage empty
● alarm limit full
● warning limit full
● warning limit empty
● alarm limit empty
● Storage locked
● charging on
● discharging on
● no dedusting
● material differs from assigned material
● homogenization on

Function
● material name
● brief name storage
Note
Block functions are only active in automatic mode. If the block is switched to Out of Service,
operation of the storage block is inhibited, the outputs are set to "0", all messages are
suppressed and only the status words are updated. All memorized functions are reset.
Limit Supervision:
If an external level instrument is available, supervision is possible for two binary inputs "Storage
empty" and "Storage full".
The analog process value of the filling level is monitored for 4 limits. With violation of Value L
limit L_Lim or Value H limit H_Lim a warning message is generated. With violation of Value
LL limit LL_Lim or Value HH limit HH_Lim, a fault message is created. The status "limit
violated" is additionally available as block outputs PV_L, PV_H, PV_LL and PV_HH.
● With interface DynFltEn alarms and dynamic faults can be suppressed in general. (In case
of a limit violation the block shows only static indications).
This behavior can be desired during the start-up or for non running equipment.
● The interface enable messages MsgEn can be used in order to prevent an onrush of
messages in case of power failure. As long as MsgEn has 0-Signal the message generation
in the block is frozen and neither incoming nor outgoing messages are created.
● Via interface GrFltLck the block can be deselected for the summarizing indication in group
and route. In the status call the fault and warnings can still be seen.
● Via interface GrStaLck the block can also be deselected form the summarizing indication
in group and route. In this case the block faults and warnings are not entered in the status
call.
● Through configuration of a hysteresis at parameter Hysteres it can be prevented that a
process value which is very close to the limit (sometimes below, sometimes above)
continuously creates incoming and outgoing messages. The outgoing message will only
be created if the value goes above the hysteresis value.
● Via parameter LZDelTi the live zero message can be delayed. If the Value is invalid for
a short time, no message is created.
Additional Supervisions:
Additionally to the limits the following supervisions are possible:
● Dedusting running: If the group is running the dedusting must be ON (DedustOn must have
1-Signal). Missing dedusting leads first to a warning message and after expiring of time
DedDelTi it leads to an alarm message.
● Different Material: If the charging material is different from the assigned materiel the storage
block creates a warning message.
● Storage locked: If the storage is locked it leads to an alarm message.

Function
Enable, block or simulation functions:

Under certain circumstances it can be necessary to switch the storage block to simulation
mode. Switching to simulation requires an OS Permission:
BitNr. Function/OS Permission Default value

15 1 = Operator can change to simulation TRUE
● If the block is switched to simulation, instead of the input value the simulation value is
displayed and transferred to the output PV_Out.
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 for storage level supervision:

The following values can be configured online:
● Value HH limit HH_Lim Violation for the HH limit generates a fault

● Value H limit H_Lim Violation for the H limit generates a warning
● Value L limit L_Lim Violation for the L limit generates a warning
● Value LL limit LL_Lim Violation for the LL limit generates a fault
● Time delay Live Zero (s) LZDelTi Message for Live Zero will be suppressed for
this time
● Hysteresis (%) Hysteres Outgoing message will be suppressed
● Simulation value from OS SimPV Value for internal simulation
The following process parameter can be configured only in the CFC:
● Unit for Storage level UNIT Physical unit for filling level of the storage
Storage parameters
● Storage height Height Storage range high value

● Storage width StoWidth only for information
● Storage length Length only for information
● Storage diameter StoDiam only for information
● Storage capacity Capacity Storage capacity in tons
● Time delay for Dedusting DedDelTi Message for Dedusting off will be suppressed
for this time
The following process parameter can be configured only in the CFC:
● Scale low ScaleLo Storage range low value

● Unit for Material quantity MQ_Unit Physical unit for charging and discharging ma‐
terial

Function
1.2 Change of operation mode
1.2 Change of operation mode
Possible Operation modes

Two operation modes exist:
● Automatic mode
● Out of Service mode
Mode change options

Mode change is possible via Operator Faceplate or by Program:
Mode change via Operator Faceplate does not require any Feature bit or OS Permission.
Mode change via Program is possible via interfaces AutModOn and OoSModOn
● Rising edge at Interfaces AutModOn changes the storage block to Automatic mode and 0-
Signal at OoSModOn forces the storage block to Out of Service mode.
● An option for mode change via GR_LINK interface does not exist.
Out of Service mode

Switching the storage block to Out of Service mode disables the entire block functions.
● If the selection block was set to Out of Service mode via Operator Station, switching back
from Out of Service mode to Automatic, Manual or Local mode needs to be done via
Operator faceplate as well.
● 0-Signal at program interface OoSModOn forces the selection block into Out of Service mode
at any time.
In this case switching back from Out of Service mode to Automatic mode is possible via a
rising edge at input AutModOn or via Operator faceplate.
Feedback of the Operating mode

Indicating the "Out of Service" status of the storage block in the summarizing indication of the
group block icon can only be achieved via GR_LINK interface. No output OsSAct available for
the mode feedback of the storage block.
The following feature bit is used to enable the function:
BitNr. Function/Features Default value

26 GR_LINK Interface used for mode feedback from C_STORAG TRUE
If Feature.bit26 = TRUE the operation mode of the storage block is included in the
summarizing indication of the group block icon.

Function
1.3 Storage locked
1.3 Storage locked
Storage locked
The storage can be locked via Operator command or by program (via input StoLocked). In
this case output Ready will be reset, which can be used in order to disable filling.
The Storage locked function must be enabled via Feature bit setting:

0 Storage locked TRUE
Feature.bit = TRUE enables the Storage lock function
For the lock/unlock via Operator Faceplate the following OS Permission is needed:

4 1 = Operator can change to Storage locked TRUE

Function
1.4 Sequence Test
1.4 Sequence Test

Via a setting in the System chart SYSPLCxx all Storage blocks within the AS are switched into
Simulation. Instead of the input value the simulation value SimPV is transferred to output
PV_Out. Output SimActQ indicates that the simulation is activated.

Function
1.5 Visualization
1.5 Visualization
In the block icon of the storage block the most important operation status are displayed (ok,
fault, warning, simulation). Refer to Variable Details. Control functions and detail information
are only available after opening the faceplate.
For status information the following variables exist:
STATUS General Running and Status Information

PV_STAT.STATUS General Running and Status Information
FeatureOut Status display for Feature Word
OS_PermOut Status display for OS_PermOut Word
OS_PermLog Status display for OS_PermLog Word (includes add. AS
connection code)

Operating principle 2
2.1 Input interfaces
StoType
StoType Storage Type Default: 1

Format INTEGER
S_TYP define the Storage Type.
1 = normal Silo, Bin
2 = Multi chamber silo
3 = Stockpile
4 = Water tank, Well
2 means, the Storage module is a "Multi chamber Silo" and will send his information via struc‐
ture output CHA_OUT to the C_STO_MA module.
The Storage Type will only be shown.
APF_ACT
APF_ACT APF data structure in use Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal means, the Storage Faceplate is enabled and all module parameters can be stored
in to the APF User archive Data structure.
GroupON
GroupON Group is completely running Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal at input GroupON mean the Group is running completely.
StoLocked
StoLocked Storage locked Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
StoLocked is a general lock signal which can be connected on the CFC Input or from the OS.
It will be shown in the Symbol and Faceplate.

Operating principle
Interlock
Interlock Storage interlock Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
Process related interlock signals can be connected to Input Interlock. If Interlock has 0-
Signal the Storage is not ready to fill up. 0-Signal will also reset the output Ready.
ChargOn
ChargOn Charging is running Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal at ChargOn means that Storage charging is running.
DisChaOn
DisChaOn Discharging is running Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal at DisChaOn means that Storage discharging is running.
HomogOn
HomogOn Homogenization is running Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal at HomogOn is just an indication and means that the homogenization is running.
StoEmpty
StoEmpty Storage external empty signal Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
Input StoEmpty can be used for the connection of an empty signal from an external Level
Instrument. 0-Signal at StoEmpty means "Storage empty".
StoFull
StoFull Storage external full signal Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
Input StoFull can be used for connection of a full signal from an external Level Instrument.
0-Signal at StoFull means "Storage full".

Operating principle
DedustOn
DedustOn Dedusting is running Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal at DedustOn means that the Storage dedusting is running.
DiffMat
DiffMat Different material Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
1-Signal at DiffMat means that the charging material is not the assigned material but allowed.
DynFltEn (SAMV)
DynFltEn 1 = Enable dynamic fault Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
If a 0-signal is connected to this interface, the alarm, the horn and the blinking at the group
fault/warning indication is suppressed. In this case the group shows static indications for fault/
warning. When making a status call the faults/warnings are indicated there.
Typical application:
If under stand still conditions of a group and affiliated storage block should not generate an
alarm, one can connect DynFltEn with output RunSig of the group. In case of a fault or
warning it is indicated by a continuous red/yellow at the group fault/warning indication. With
the status call one can look for the cause. As soon as the group is running completely the
alarms become active.
2.1.1 Interfaces for mode change
Interfaces for mode change

Beside the mode change via the faceplate, the operating mode can be changed by program,
via interfaces AutModOn and OoSModOn.
AutModOn
AutModOn 1 = switch to automatic mode Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A rising edge at interface AutModOn switches the storage block into the automatic mode. This
interface is normally connected with group output AutModOn, in order to transmit the pulse
which is created through a button in the group faceplate.
Switching from Out of Service mode to Automatic mode via AutModOn is only possible if the
block was not set to Out of Service mode via Operator faceplate.

Operating principle
OoSModOn
OoSModOn 0 = force to out of Service mode Basic state 1-Signal

Format BOOL
0-Signal at interface OoSModOn forces the storage block to the Out of Service mode.
MsgEn (SMFR)
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 storage block.
If MsgEn has 0-Signal, the storage block does not create any incoming or outgoing message.
The fault message for "control voltage failure" must be generated by an additional annunciation
module, which has to be engineered for this purpose.
Note
If MsgEn has 0-Signal the storage faults/warnings are not shown in the summarizing indication
of group and route and not listed in the status call.
GrFltLck (SMZS)
GrFltLck 1 = don't include in group summarizing ind. Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A 1-signal on GrFltLck prevents that the dynamic and static fault/warning is passed to the
group. In the status call the storage fault/warning can still be seen. This can be useful in case
of selections. If the function is not selected it is not considered for the summarizing indications
of the group.
GrStaLck (GFSO)
GrStaLck 1 = don't incl. in group sum. ind.+status call Basic state 0-Signal
Format BOOL
1-Signal at GrStaLck completely deselects the storage block for the Group Summarizing fault
and for the Group Status Call.
The function is similar to interface GrFltLck but the storage block is excluded from status
call as well.

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

Format BOOL
The acknowledgement of the storage block is normally carried out together with the acknowl‐
edgement 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 acknowledgement.
A signal change from "0" to "1" at Ack acknowledges the storage 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 storage block. See Engineering Manual, chapter AS-Engineering.
Process value for filling level
PV

SimPV
SimPV PV Simulation value from OS Default: 0.0

Format REAL
Parameter SimPV is used for entering the simulation value via the faceplate of C_STORAG.
This value is not available as a block output and no connection to the channel driver is needed,
because internal simulation in the C_STORAG has the highest priority.
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the simulation value.
2.1.5 Process Parameters for alarm/warning limits
HH_Lim
HH_Lim Value HH limit Default: 100.0

Format REAL
This is the value of upper limit 2. If this limit value is overshot, then the module generates an
alarm message and sets module output PV_HH.
The default tooltip text "Value HH Limit" can be modified via property "Identifier".
The operator is only permitted to change the value for HH limit if OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE
and OS_Perm.bit20 = TRUE.
H_Lim
H_Lim Value H limit Default: 100.0

Format REAL
This is the value of upper limit 1. If this limit value is overshot, then the module generates an
alarm message and sets module output PV_H.
The default tooltip text "Value H Limit" can be modified via property "Identifier".
The operator is only permitted to change the value for H limit if OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE and
OS_Perm.bit21 = TRUE.

Operating principle
L_Lim
L_Lim Value L limit Default: 0.0

Format REAL
This is the value of the lower limit 1. If this limit value is undershot, then the module generates
an alarm message and sets module output PV_L.
The default tooltip text "Value L Limit" can be modified via property "Identifier".
The operator is only permitted to change the value for L limit if OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE and
OS_Perm.bit26 = TRUE.
LL_Lim
LL_Lim Value LL limit Default: 0.0

Format REAL
This is the value of lower limit 2. If this limit value is undershot, then the module generates an
alarm message and sets module output PV_LL.
The default tooltip text "Value LL Limit" can be modified via property "Identifier".
The operator is only permitted to change the value for LL limit if OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE
and OS_Perm.bit27 = TRUE.
LZDelTi
LZDelTi Time delay Live Zero Default: 3

Format INTEGER (0 - 999) Value in seconds.
When a live-zero fault occurs, the corresponding alarm message and the module output LZ is
delayed by the set time value.
TV = 0s means: no delay
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the time delay Live Zero.
2.1.6 Process Parameter for delaying outgoing fault/warnings
Hysteres
Hysteres Hysteresis Default: 0.0

Format REAL (0.0 - 9.9)
To avoid constant coming and going of a limit value alarm message - if, e.g. the process value
"varies" around a limit value - one can enter a hysteresis value from the OS. The hysteresis
value in Percent is entered at parameter Hysteres. If a limit value is undershot or overshot
(value < Lower limit 1/2 or value > Upper limit 1/2), a fault is reported if the appropriate con‐
nection is available. This fault is corrected only when the limit value (including hysteresis) is
once again overshot or undershot (value > Lower limit 1/2 + hysteresis, or value < Upper limit
1/2 - hysteresis).
With OS_Perm.bit31 = TRUE the operator is permitted to change the hysteresis value.

Operating principle

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.
Feature bits and OS Permissions of block C_STORAG can be modified at any time but we
recommend switching the block to Out of Service mode.
A Feature Master block does not exist.
OS_Perm
OS_Perm Operator Permissions

Format STRUCT
Chapter OS Permissions contains a list of all available Permission bits. The function of the
individual permission is described with the corresponding interfaces.
Note
It is not allowed to connect any logic to OS_Perm input.

Note
It is not allowed to connect any logic to Feature input.

Operating principle
2.2 Group and Object links
Group/Route links
Each storage block must be linked to a group or route in order to collect the status of the objects
for summarizing indications.
The group link is essential for control and diagnosis and comprises the following functions:
● All objects, linked to the group (or route) are listed in the group (or route) object list.
● All objects, linked to the group (or route) are highlighted in the process picture with button
"Show related objects".
● The faults of all objects, linked to the group (or route) are included in the summarizing fault
indication of the group (or route).
● The warnings of all objects, linked to the group (or route) are included in the summarizing
warning indication of the group (or route).
● In case of a dynamic fault during the startup of the group, the group start will be interrupted.
A storage block can be linked to two groups or routes via GR_LINK1 and GR_LINK2. If a
storage block belongs to more than two groups or routes the additional block C_MUX must be
inserted, which provides 5 additional link interfaces.
Note
The main group (or main route) should be connected to GR_LINK1! This is the one which is
opened with a click on button "Main group" in the faceplate of the storage block.
Via additional feature bit settings, control commands can also be transmitted through the group/
route link interface.

26 G_LINK Interface used for mode feedback from C_STORAG FALSE
With Feature.Bit26 = TRUE the mode information of the storage block is automatically
transmitted to the allocated group.
Note
This is the only way of transmitting the mode feedback from the storage block to the group. In
difference to the drive blocks the C_STORAG block has no output OoSAct for connection to
FbObjOoS.
GR_LINK1
GR_LINK1 Link to group or route

Format STRUCT
The GR_LINK1 interface of the storage block must be connected with the R_LINK interface
of the route or with the G_LINK interface of the group.

Operating principle
Note
GR_LINK1 must be used for the main group!

Format WORD
MUX_LINK
MUX_LINK Link to C_MUX

Format STRUCT
If the storage block belongs to more than two different routes or groups, the C_MUX module
must be series-connected. C_MUX has 5 inputs (GR_LINK1 to GR_LINK5) for connection with
the groups/routes and one output (MUX_OUT) for connection with the MUX_LINK interface of
the storage block.
Note
If a C_MUX block is used, the programming order is very important. The C_MUX must be called
before the storage block!
If the same C_MUX block is connected to more than one object (e. g. the drive and
annunciations and measures of the same equipment), it is essential that no different group link
(or C_MUX) is programmed between those objects.
MUX_LINK.Point_GRL PointerDefault: 0

Operating principle
Format INTEGER
MUX_LINK.Command Group / Route Command Default: 16#00
Format WORD

Operating principle
2.2.1 Example of a circuit:
Note
Check the runtime sequence! The C_MUX module must be called before the storage block.
For the other modules the run sequence is as follows: first the annunciation blocks, measures
and drives/devices, then the associated routes and finally the associated groups.
Note
Some people use one C_MUX block and connect its output to a number of drives/devices,
annunciations and measurements.
If you do so, make sure that the C_MUX is called before all the other objects and that no other
C_MUX call comes in between.
We don't recommend using the same C_MUX if the blocks are located in different runtime
groups.

Each message is classified (Fault class).

This shows whether an electrical fault (E) or a process fault (P) applies, or whether it is an
operation message (O).
● An electrician does not always need to be called first.
● The production operator can give specific instructions.
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 build 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.
