<Appendix 5. PID Block>

A5-10

IM 01S01C01-01EN

NOTE: If a control block is connected as a cascade primary

block of the PID block in question, a mode transition of

the PID block to Cas occurs in the following sequence

due to initialization of the cascade connection: RCas or

ROut → Auto → Cas.

A5.18 Alarms

There are two kinds of alarms generated by a PID

block: block and process alarms.

A5.18.1 Block Alarm (BLOCK_ALM)

The block alarm BLOCK_ALM is generated upon

occurrence of either of the following errors (values

set in BLOCK_ERR) and notifies the content of

BLOCK_ERR.

Value of

BLOCK_ERR

Condition

Local Override

MODE_BLK actual of PID block is LO.

Input Failure

IN.status of the PID block is either of

the following:

• Bad-Device Failure

• Bad-Sensor Failure

Out of Service

MODE_BLK.target of the PID block is

O/S.

A5.18.2 Process Alarms

There are six types of process alarms. Priority level

can be set to process alarms. The priority level is

set for each process alarm type.

When configuring a simple PID control loop by

combining an field device with a fieldbus valve

positioner that contains an AO block, follow the

procedure below to make the settings of the

corresponding fieldbus function blocks:

1. Connect the AI block and PID block of the field

device, and the AO block of the valve positioner

as shown above.

2. Set MODE_BLK.target of the PID block to

O/S, and then set GAIN, RESET, and RATE to

appropriate values.

3. Check that the value of MODE_BLK.actual of

the AI block is Auto.

4. Set MODE_BLK.target of the AO block to

CAS|AUTO (meaning "Cas and Auto").

5. Check that the value of BKCAL_IN.status of the

PID block is not Bad.

6. Check that the value of IN.status of the PID

block is not Bad.

7. Check that Auto is set in MODE_BLK.permitted

of the PID block.

8. Set MODE_BLK.target of the PID block to Auto.

When finishing all steps in order, the PID block and

AO block exchange the respective information and

initialize the cascade connection. Consequently,

the value of MODE_BLK.actual of the PID block

changes to Auto and automatic PID control starts.
