Expression Block Lab 11 11.1 Foreword The Expression Block is one of the most powerful blocks and perhaps the most often used block in MOD 30ML. This lab will provide a series of partial applications where an Expression Block would be the best tool to solve the requirement. Enter the appropriate expression and input names. Be prepared to demonstrate to the class your proposal for each problem. 11.2 Objectives In this lab you will configure 3 process applications using the Expression block.
Training Manual Expression Block Lab Figure 11 .2. EX block Example • Specify the data type for the result as Floating point under the General tab of the EX block. 3. Compile the database.
Training Manual Expression Block Lab 11.3.2 Application #1 Find the average pressure between four boiler headers. Hints: Add 4 analog input (4-20 mA) and corresponding Signal conditioning blocks. Add an EX block and configure 4 inputs. Use these 4 inputs in your expression to find the average. 11.3.3 Application #2 Turn on a fan when the temperature is greater than 82 degrees and provided the room door is not open. Hints: You need a thermocouple or RTD input and a signal conditioning blocks.
Training Manual Expression Block Lab 11.4 Expression Operation Operator precedence in an expression starts with the unary (single operand) operators and continues with the binary (double operand) operators. The order of evaluation can be changed using parentheses or the conditional operators.
Training Manual Expression Block Lab 11.4.1 General Rules For Boolean operators, data of any type is considered TRUE if non-zero. For logical operations, all operands are scaled to DISCRETE during evaluation. For comparison or arithmetic operations, all operands are scaled to floating point during evaluation. DATE operands are expanded to include the century and treated as 4 byte unsigned integers.
Training Manual Expression Block Lab Figure 11 .3. If Then Else Using Expression Blocks as Recipes Expression block inputs can be used as a recipe. Any number of local or remote inputs to the block can be configured without using them in the expression, and for this purpose only, HEX and ASCII inputs are allowed.
12 Sequence Lab 12.1 Foreword Configuring a sequence, logic or batch application is easier than ever with ViZapp. You can configure names for the inputs, outputs and steps in a sequence block and they will be reflected in the connections and debug screen. Unlike a PLC, the user is not required to keep track of database or memory locations, and the use of step names instead of numbers in the logic makes adding, moving or deleting steps much less engineering-intensive. 12.
Training Manual Sequence Lab When the product temperature reaches 20 degrees, the drain valve is opened and remains open until the low level switch is tripped. The drain valve shuts and the process remains in Idle until the operator pushes the start button again. After completing this lab, you should be able to • Configure a Sequence block • See the benefits of the Sequence block over traditional methods of configuring a sequence control scheme. • Debug the sequencer online with the ViZapp Debug.

17 Sequence Display Lab 17.1 Foreword One of the features that set the MOD 30ML apart from other multiloop controllers is the ability to construct custom displays for many types of applications, including sequential control. 17.2 Objectives This lab is a continuation of the Supervisory Message lab and builds on that database.
Training Manual Sequence Display Lab Variables to display: Lines 1 – 6 Bars 1 – 3 Text change based on source variable? YES State Table NO Configure Display Block -Inputs -Display formats Key function(s) other than standard? Event-driven information changes? Multiple sources for same line? YES YES Display Script YES Add display name to DIF block Configure DIF block Upon completing this lab you should have a basic understanding of how to: 1. Design and plan a custom display 2.
Training Manual Sequence Display Lab 17.3 Instructions Make sure the database you constructed in the Sequence Lab and modified in the Supervisory Message lab is loaded in ViZapp. You should be at the top level with the DIF, IF, ST, and SE blocks visible along with the BATCH and TEMP CONTROL compounds. A – DESIGN THE DISPLAY The first step to creating a custom display is to plan what will appear on each line, and whether the keys will perform different functions than the standard configuration (PID loop).
Training Manual Sequence Display Lab B – BUILD THE STATE TABLES State Tables serve as “lookup tables” for the Display Block, when a variable changes its value. For example, each time the Sequence Block changes to a new step, the Display Block compares the step number to the State Table and displays the appropriate text. Two State Tables are required for this display: 1. To display the current step on Line 1, at all times 2.
Training Manual Sequence Display Lab 4. Create the table that will be associated with the Start Pushbutton (StartPB) input. Enter the state table as shown below: Start, 3, “???” { 0, “NO”; 1, “YES”; } Table name = Start; maximum characters = 3; if the input is neither 0 nor 1, display ??? (this must be enclosed in quotes) This will be used to make the bottom line of the Sequence display show “NO” or “YES” depending on the state of the StartPB input.
