9.4.1 Part 1 – F-CIM Programming from front face
1. Define the process control strategy to be implemented first: The strategy involves a
single loop PID control. We will add the following in addition to the PID control:
• Enable Output tracking based on closure of Contact Input 1. We will assume that
the output tracking signal comes from Analog Input 2
• Enable Setpoint tracking of Process Variable when the controller is not in Auto
mode. We will assume that the PV comes from Analog input 0
• Disable Remote setpoint on closure of Contact input 0. We will assume that the
remote setpoint input comes from Analog Input 1.
2. Select the F-CIM modules: We will use the following F-CIM modules
1. READ – for reading ANI-1 for remote setpoint
2. SP0 – Setpoint generator for Loop0
3. DEV0 – Deviation Calculation for Loop0
4. PID0 – PID for loop0
5. A/M0 – Auto Manual selection for Loop0
6. WRITE – for writing the output of A/M0 to Analog Output 0
7. DISPLAY – for displaying the loop parameters
3. Draw the function block diagram using these function blocks: The function block
diagram is shown in the next figure. This diagram can be drawn on paper. This diagram
will help you understand what exactly needs to be programmed.
