Standard function blocks

Blocks for processing with

￿
standardized operation and monitoring
Type	Designation	Function
R	Closed-loop control-	PID control, e.g. for disturbance
	ler	variable	feedforward, tracking of
		setpoint and manipulated vari-
		able, limit	formation
RN		As R,
		with	additional functions
M	Measured-value	Monitors a measured value for 3
	monitoring	pairs of	limits
		Extension	of a closed-loop con-
		trol block for limit monitoring
		Limitation	of measured value at
		the error limits
V	Ratio	Generation of a ratio, e.g. with a
		ratio control
		Proportional adjuster, e.g. with
		synchronization control or to influ-
		ence the command variable in a
		cascade
B
	Operation block	Display of analog values (internal
		result of calculations, ...)
		Access to analog and binary val-
		ues (input of constants, ...)
S	Control unit	Operation and monitoring of a
		sequence in process plants
G	Subgroup control	Operation and monitoring of
		sequences in power plants
GK	Group control	As G,
		with additional functions
A	Output for binary	Display of and access to a binary
	data	value
F	Window block	Display of 5 measured values;
		each of the 5 values is monitored
		for a pair of limits
FN	Window block	Display and limit monitoring of 5
		measured values;
		input of 5 pairs of limits each with
		hysteresis as well as 5 ranges for
		the measured value display
T	Trend 1)	Display of the trend of 2 mea-
		sured values as a bargraph; time
		base between 1.625 s and 36 h
SR	Recorder 1)	Summary of up to 4 series of
		measurements, displayed on
		screen as dashed-line curves;
		4 pairs of limits for monitoring the
		measured values
C	Selector	To switch over binary signals,
		e.g. manual/automatic mode
PKM	Alarm acquisition	Acquires planned alarms from
		binary input module/GB block
PKF	Alarm sequence dis-	Output of PKM alarms; new
	play 1)	alarms of PKM blocks, display of

alarm history

1) Displays in PROGRAF AS+
