A5.15  Manual Fallback
Manual fallback denotes an action in which a 
PID block changes mode to Man and suspends 
the control action.  Manual fallback takes place 
automatically as a means of abnormality handling 
when the following condition is met: 
•  IN.status is Bad except when the control action 
bypass is on.  
To enable the manual fallback action to take place 
when the above condition is met, Target to Manual if 
BAD IN must be specied beforehand in STATUS_
OPTS.  
The table below shows the options in STATUS_
OPTS.
Options in
STATUS_OPTS
Description
IFS if BAD IN Sets the sub-status component of 
OUT.status to IFS if IN.status is Bad 
except when PID control bypass is 
on.
IFS if BAD CAS 
IN
Sets the sub-status component of 
OUT.status to IFS if CAS_IN.status 
is Bad.
Use Uncertain 
as Good
Does not regard IN as being in Bad 
status when IN.status is Uncertain 
(to prevent mode transitions from 
being affected when it is Uncertain).
Target to Manual 
if BAD IN
Automatically changes the value of 
MODE_BLK.target to MAN when IN 
falls into Bad status.
Target to next 
permitted mode 
if BAD CAS IN
Automatically changes the value of 
MODE_BLK.target to Auto (or to 
Man if Auto is not set in Permitted) 
when CAS_IN falls into Bad status.
A5.16  Auto Fallback
Auto fallback denotes an action in which a PID 
block changes mode from Cas to Auto and 
continues automatic PID control with the user-set 
setpoint.  Auto fallback takes place automatically 
when the following condition is met: 
•  IN.status (data status of IN) is Bad except when 
the control action bypass is on.  
To enable the manual fallback action to take place 
when the above condition is met:
•  Target to next permitted mode if BAD CAS 
IN must be previously specied in STATUS_
OPTS.  
  - AND -
•  Auto must be previously set in MODE_BLK.

A5.17  Mode Shedding upon 
Computer Failure
When the data status of RCAS_IN or ROUT_IN, 
which is the setting received from a computer as 
the setpoint SP, falls to Bad while the PID block 
is running in the RCas or ROut mode, the mode 
shedding occurs in accordance with the settings in 
SHED_OPT.  
If the RCAS_IN data is not renewed within the time 
specied by SHED_RCAS in resource block, the 
data status of RCAS_IN falls to Bad. 
A5.17.1  SHED_OPT
The SHED_OPT setting stipulates the 
specications of mode shedding as shown below.  
Only one can be set.  
Available 
Setting for 
SHED_OPT
Actions upon Computer Failure
Normal shed, 
normal return
Sets MODE_BLK.actual to Cas
*1
, and 
leaves MODE_BLK.target unchanged.
Normal shed, 
no return
Sets both MODE_BLK.actual and 
MODE_BLK.target to Cas
*1
.
Shed to Auto, 
normal return
Sets MODE_BLK.actual to Auto
*2
, and 
leaves MODE_BLK.target unchanged.
Shed to Auto, 
no return
Sets both MODE_BLK.actual and 
MODE_BLK.target to Auto
*2
.
Shed to 
Manual, 
normal return
Sets MODE_BLK.actual to Man, and 
leaves MODE_BLK.target unchanged.
Shed to 
Manual, no 
return
Sets both MODE_BLK.actual and 
MODE_BLK.target to Man.
Shed to 
retained 
target, normal 
return
If Cas is in MODE_BLK.target, sets 
MODE_BLK.actual to Cas
*1
, and 
leaves MODE_BLK.target unchanged.
If Cas is not set in MODE_BLK.target, 
sets MODE_BLK.actual to Auto
*2
, and 
leaves MODE_BLK.target unchanged.
Shed to 
retained 
target, no 
return
If Cas is set in MODE_BLK.target, sets 
both MODE_BLK.actual and MODE_
BLK.target to Cas
*1
.
If Cas is not set in MODE_BLK.target, 
sets MODE_BLK.actual to Auto
*2
, and 
MODE_BLK.target to Cas.
*1  The modes to which a PID block can transfer are limited 
to those set in MODE_BLK.permitted, and the priority 
levels of modes are as shown below.  In fact, if Normal 
shed, normal return is set for SHED_OPT, detection of a 
computer failure causes MODE_BLK.actual to change 
to Cas, Auto, or MAN, whichever is set in MODE_BLK.
