13 Locking functions and operating modes
13.1 Learning target
The participant will learn about
• Interlock functions as opportunity to
avoid undesired control functions as the
start of motors or opening of valves
• Local operation mode for drives
The participant will be able to
• configure the locking of valves
• configure the local operation mode
for a motor
13.2 Interlock
13.2.1 Overview of the locking functions
"0" means: Lock active
"1" means: Lock not active,
everything OK
Permission:
Activation (On) enable
Interlock:
Interlock without reset
Protection:
Interlock with reset
For locking drives (e.g.: “MotL” = motor control) there are three connections for the
corresponding blocks:
• "Permit" Switch on enable (enable),
• "Protect" Locking with reset (protection),
• "Intlock" Locking without reset (lock),

PCS 7 System course
Locking type "Intlock"
The "Intlock" corresponds to the concept “lock” in the PCS 7 Standard Library. An active
interlock condition brings the block to the safe position (input Intlock = 0). After the
interlock condition has gone, the currently active control function becomes active again
in automatic or local mode. In manual mode the faceplate can be operated again after
the interlock condition has gone.
Locking types "Permit", "Protect"
These represent a new concept with two separate signals for enabling the “activation”
(leaving the safe position) and the forced “switch-off” (taking the safe position) for
drives.
• Permit
The activation enable (input Permit = 1) makes it possible to leave the safe position of
the block in response to operator input or a command from the program (CFC/SFC).
The activation enable signal has no effect if the block is not in the safe position.
• Protect
An active interlock condition brings the block to the safe position (input Protect = 0).
After the interlock conditions are cleared, the operator or an activation sequence must
reset the control functions again to match the input parameters (only in automatic mode)
Reset behavior of a block
Via the feature parameter: “Resetting the interlock via input signals”
(Feature Bit 9) you can define the reset behavior of the block:
• Feature bit 9 = 0
Reset is carried out either by operation in the faceplate, or using the interconnectable
input parameter (RstLi = 1) at the block.
• Feature bit 9 = 1
It is also possible to reset with a 0-1 edge change in the control signal in automatic
mode.
 The function “Resetting the interlock via input signals” can only be
used in case of a feedback error or an interlock of the type "Protect".

PCS 7 System course
13.2.2 Locking logic
The interlocking logic in the PCS7 APL is as follows:
A logic “0” means that the Interlock (e.g. “Permit“, “Protect” or “Intlock“) is active (i.e.
fail safe).
A logic “1” means that the Interlock is not active and everything OK is (Good state).
 ATTENTION!
The interlocking logic in the PCS7 standard library is the exact opposite:
A logic “0” means that the Interlock is not active and everything OK is (Good
state).
A logic “1” means that the Interlock is active (i.e. fail safe).

PCS 7 System course
13.2.3 The interlock blocks
This block makes it possible to create a user-configured, static binary logic (AND, OR,
NEGATION). The output parameters of the Interlock block can be interconnected with
the locking input parameters of the drive blocks ("Permit", "Protect", "Intlock").

1. InXX: locking input
2. InvInXX: "1" inversion of InXX
3. BypInXX: "1" bypasses InXX
4. AVXX: Analog value for InXX
5. AVXX_Uni: Unit for AVXX
6. Enable First active input
7. "Feature" parameter; Bit 31 : First out detection
The Intlkxx block is available in 4 versions, i.e. with 2, 4, 8 or 16 binary inputs. Each of
these inputs can be inverted. This is controlled by an associated input (e.g. "InvIn01")
for each binary input (e.g. "In01").
Each connection can be bypassed, if desired, from the logic (e.g. "BypIn01").
 Bypassing means that the signal is excluded from the logic. If all input parameters are
bypassed the output value is defined via the “DefaultOut” parameter.
AND or OR operation can be selected.
Interconnecting two Intlk04 and one Intlk02 is equivalent to the interlock block in the
PCS 7 Standard Library. The different sized Intlkxx blocks of the PCS 7 APL provide
more flexibility.
Monitoring analog values
For locking signals coming from an analog value monitoring block (e.g. MonAnL), it is
possible to display the analog value as well as additional texts in the interlock faceplate.
By interconnecting the input AVxx (e.g. AV02, see Figure above) the analog value is
displayed in the faceplate. The label text is configured in the properties of the respective
block I/O. There are separate parameters for the units of measure (e.g. AV02_Unit).

6. Unit of AVXX
7. Open faceplate of locking object
Views are only displayed in the faceplate for the respective drive if the appropriate
parameters are interconnected or have a value not equal to “FF” in the Signal Status.
In the example above the Intlock input of the motor is connected with an interlock
block. The "Intlock" lock is active (lock closed). The drive can't be started by the
operator (select “Command = Start”).
Colors in the interlock block, priorities
In the faceplate of the Interlock block the logic operation icon (AND, OR) is represented
with a variable background color. In the block icon one field is respectively displayed
with the same color.
The following prioritization applies (1 = highest priority)
Priority Color Description
1 Gray The Interlock block is set to “Not Used”. Parameter NotUsed = 1
2 Blue At least one signal of the Interlock block is bypassed and no request for color
gray.
3 Yellow The output of the Interlock block has the signal status 16#60 (Simulation, yellow
hand) and no request for color gray or blue.
4 Red The output of the Interlock block has the signal value FALSE and no request for
color gray, blue or yellow
5 Green The output of the Interlock block has the signal status TRUE and no request for
color gray, blue or yellow

PCS 7 System course
 ATTENTION!
“NotUsed” is now used to change the color to gray. All other functions of the Interlock
block are not affected by this. This is meant to indicate to the user that this interlock
has currently no effect on the drive.
One possible application could be the interconnection of the “Motor runs” feedback
from the drive block to the NotUsed of the Interlock block which controls the enable.
If the motor runs the enable has no further meaning.
“Interconnected” faceplates can be called via the arrow keys in the Interlock faceplate.
For example, the faceplate of the MonAnL block which is interconnected with the
Interlock or the faceplate for “evaluating” MotL blocks.
Evaluation of first relevant signal
The PCS 7 APL Intlkxx block has First out detection:
At the "FirstIn" output the bit-coded number of the input, which caused the last signal
change of the output from 1 to 0 (Good state to Safe State), is displayed. The value of
this output is 2(N-1)
, where N equals the input number.
E.g. first out from input In03 means that FirstIn = 16#4 (2(3-1)
).
You activate this function via the Bit31 feature "Evaluate first relevant
signal" and the input FirstInEn (see also Faceplate and Online-help on the block).

Bypassing process signals
To force values for the interlock there are 3 possible procedures:
• Simulation of the process signal at the driver (connection "SimOn" = 1)
• Bypassing the Interlock (bypass, see faceplate)
• “Forcing”
The following is displayed in addition to the buttons:
• Interlock status:
If the locking signals are bypassed, the interlock status changes to unlocked.
• Signal Status:
If one of the interlock signals is bypassed, the signal status of the interlock block
changes to "Simulation".
• Bypass information:
If one of the interlock signals is bypassed, the signal status of the interlock block
changes to "Simulation" and the symbol for the bypass is shown instead of a signal
status.
 See [113] PCS 7 V8.0 Advanced Process Library - 12_2011, 6.9.8.2 VlvL standard
view and 7.1.3 Intlk02 functions for more details

PCS 7 System course
13.2.6 Interpretation of the status displays
The logic built with the Interlock blocks generates an output signal (Out) which tells the
drive block whether an interlock is active. This information is displayed for the operator
in the technological faceplate by the "padlock" symbol.
All the effective interlock states are combined and displayed in the block icon. The
interlock states are displayed with the following prioritization:
1. Function interlocked, shown in the block icon with a closed padlock
2. Function not interlocked, shown in the block icon as an open padlock
3. Function disabled, shown in the block icon as a crossed-out, closed padlock
Furthermore the Signal Status of the respective process signals is displayed in the
Interlock block and passed on to the technological block according to priority.
The block determines the signal status of the output signal, based on the signal status
of the input values from the configured logic operation according to the following table
(highest priority is 0):
Signal status - Icon Priority Value Meaning
0 16#00 Bad, device related
1 16#28 Bad, process related
2 16#60 Local functional check / simulation
3 16#68 Uncertain, device related
4 16#78 Uncertain, process related
5 16#A4 Maintenance request
No icon 6 16#80 Good
No icon - 16#FF Input is not interconnected.

PCS 7 System course
General rules
• The best/worst signal status is generated according to the priority table for
technological blocks.
• The signal status of the output is generated from the best (lowest priority) or worst
(highest priority) signal status of those input signals (highest priority is 0), which are
interconnected and not excluded (relevant input signals) in accordance with the logic
operation and its result.
• If all inputs are excluded or not interconnected, the signal status of the output is set to
simulation 16#60).
Logical AND operation
• If the output value is 1, it has the signal status with the highest priority of all interconnected input signals.
• If the output value is 0, it has the signal status with the lowest priority of all interconnected input signals,
which have a value of 0.
• If the output value is 1 and at least one input is bypassed, the signal status of the output is set to
simulation at best (16#60).
Logical OR operation
• If the output value is 1, it has the signal status with the lowest priority of all interconnected input signals,
which have a value of 1.
• If the output value is 0, it has the signal status with the highest priority of all interconnected input signals.
• If the output value is 0 and at least one input is excluded, the signal status of the output is set to
simulation at best (16#60).
Feature Bit 23
If the Interlock block passes on the Signal Status 16#28 (bad, process-specific, red
factory) or 16#00 (bad, device-specific, red wrench), the interlock will be evaluated as
bad in any case (padlock closed, interlock effective).
You can use the Feature bit 23 (Evaluation of signal status) to specify if the signal
status of the inputs is to be checked for the values 16#00 or 16#28. The signal status of
the inputs itself remains unchanged here.
The default setting is 0.
• Bit = 0: No evaluation of the signal status. The status display within the interlock
block is always shown as "0".
• Bit = 1: the signal status is determined, an input with ST = 16#00 or 16#28 is
forwarded with value = 0. The "Negate signal" function at the input of the block has
no influence on the reaction in this case.

PCS 7 System course
Logical AND operation ( Logic = 1 )
• If the output value is 1, it has the worst signal status (highest priority) of all relevant
input signals.
Example:
AND gate with
output value 1
ST = 16#00
ST = 16#28
Worst signal state of all
relevant input signals
ST = 16#00
Interlock active, despite
fulfilled condition
• If the output value is 0, it has the best signal status (lowest priority) of the relevant
input signals with a value of 0.
Example:
ST = 16#00
ST = 16#28
Best signal state of all
with value = 0
ST = 16#28
AND gate with
output value 0
• If the output value is 1 and at least one input is excluded (bypassed), the signal
status of the output is set to simulation (16#60).

PCS 7 System course
Logical OR operation ( Logic = 0 )
• If the output value is 1, it has the best signal status (lowest priority) of the relevant
input signals with a value of 1.
Example:
ST = 16#00
ST = 16#28
Best signal state of all
with value = 1
OR gate with
output value 1
Interlock active, despite
fulfilled condition
ST = 16#28
• If the output value is 0, it has the worst signal status (highest priority) of all relevant
input signals.
Example:
ST = 16#00
ST = 16#28
ST = 16#00
OR gate with
output value 0
Worst signal state of all relevant
input signals
• If the output value is 0 and at least one input is excluded, the signal status of the
output is set to simulation (16#60).

PCS 7 System course
13.2.7 Evaluation of the signal status "Simulation" in the technological block
Simulated signal with output value = 1
Output signal has status "Simulated" and
interlock condition fulfilled
Interlock condition is
regarded as a
bypassed signal
If the interlock signal has the status 16#60 ("Simulation") and the interlock condition is
fulfilled (e.g. Intlock = 1), the interlock is regarded as bypassed and displayed with
the icons for “bypassed” – in the faceplate.
Simulated signal with output value = 0
Interlock condition is
regarded as a
simulated signal
Output signal has status "Simulated" and
interlock condition not fulfilled
If the interlock signal has the status 16#60 ("Simulation") and the interlock condition is
not fulfilled (e.g. Intlock = 0), the interlock is regarded as simulated and displayed
with the icons for "simulated” – in the faceplate.

PCS 7 System course
 If the Interlock block is interconnected with a driver block and the Interlock block
displays a yellow hand as the signal status, this will not necessarily indicate a
simulation. If the process value is faulty at the channel driver and a substitute value
was parameterized, the driver will also pass on the signal status simulation to the
interlock block and the symbol will be displayed in the OS.

13.3 Local/Remote control and other operating modes
13.3.1 Overview of the operating modes of APL
The operating modes are mainly assigned to the block families (drives, channel,
convert, etc). Three categories are distinguished below:
1. Motors, valves and dosage feeders
2. Controls
3. Blocks without “manual” and “automatic mode” (e.g. MonAnL)
Basically the operating modes can be set directly by the operator in the faceplate. In
order to select a particular operating mode the respective conditions must also be
fulfilled (e.g. operator authorization, etc).

12 Program mode  Manual
• Via faceplate ("ManModOp" = 1) if "ModLiOp" = 0 or
• Edge transition 1 → 0 of "AdvCoMstrOn" if manual is set before

13.3.3 Operating mode "On"
The “On” mode signals that the block algorithm is being processed (output parameter
OnAct = 1). This mode is available for simple blocks which have faceplates but not the
“Manual mode” or “Automatic mode” or “Local mode”.
The operating mode “On” can only be activated via operation at the faceplate (input
parameter OnOp = 1). A requirement for this is that the block is in “Out of service” mode.
13.3.4 Operating mode "Out of service"
The “Out of service” mode is intended for maintenance and servicing purposes, for
example, to exchange a device. All messages and functions of the block are
suppressed or switched off and for motors and valves, for example, all outputs are
controlled to the safety position.
The “Out of service” is available for all blocks with a mode switchover and a direct
connection to the process (e.g. with a connection to a measuring point).
A requirement for the switchover to this mode is that the block is in “Manual” or “On”
mode. When leaving the “Out of service” mode via operation at the faceplate it can only
be switched to “On” or “Manual” mode.

PCS 7 System course
13.3.5 Operating mode "Manual" and "Automatic"
In "Manual mode" the device is controlled manually by the operator. The operator
decides how the manipulated variable (output signal) for the block is changed. The
manipulated variable can be analog or binary.
In "Automatic mode" the motors, valves and dosage feeders must be controlled by the
block algorithm via inputs which are interconnected or controlled by the SFC.
In "Automatic mode" the output signal of the control is automatically calculated by the
block algorithm.
Selection of manual/automatic operating mode with…
ModLiOp = 0 ModLiOp = 1
ManModOp = 1
AutModOp = 1 ManModLi = 1
(AutModLi = 0)
…Faceplate (or SFC) …CFC / SFC
Manual mode Automatic mode
AutModLi = 1
(ManModLi = 0)
• Switchover initiated in the faceplate (ModLiOp = 0):
The changeover between operating modes is carried out in the standard view of the
faceplate. In the function block, the parameters ManModOp for "manual mode" and
AutModOp for "automatic mode" are used.
If both signals (ManModOp =1, AutModOp = 1 ) are set, then ManModOp = 1 has priority.
• Switchover per interconnection (CFC or SFC instance) (ModLiOp = 1):
The switchover between the operating modes is carried out with an interconnection on
the function block. The parameters ManModLi for "manual mode" and AutModLi for
"automatic mode" are used in pushbutton operation.
In switch mode (requirement: Feature Bit 4 = 1) connection AutModLi is used
exclusively.
If both signals (ManModLi =1, AutModLi = 1 ) are set, then ManModLi = 1 has priority.
Changing the switchover behavior using Feature Bits
Using Feature Bits you can change specific properties of the switchover behavior:
• Enabling bumpless changeover to automatic mode for valves, motors, and dosing
feeders (Feature bit 17)
• Disabling bumpless changeover to automatic mode for controllers (Feature bit 18)
• Resetting the commands for changing the mode (Feature bit 2)

PCS 7 System course
13.3.6 Operating mode "Program mode" for controllers
For supervisory control functions which run on an external PC, (such as an OPC client
connecting an external Advanced Control Software package) provides the option to take
on the control of the control function block and to specify the setpoint value or the
manipulated variable from outside. This mode of operation is referred to as program
mode.
The program mode requires an enable signal (input parameter AdvCoEn = 1) from a
central control block. If this enable signal falls back from 1 to 0, for example due to
failures of the OPC communication, the controller block goes back to the mode it had
before being put into program mode.
Activate program mode in the standard view in the faceplate. Apart from the switchover
between manual and automatic mode, the program mode is provided to you as an
additional mode. Program mode is exited when either manual or automatic mode is
selected via operation from faceplate or via an interconnection/SFC.
A 0>1 edge change of the interconnectable input parameter AdvCoMstrOn the program
mode is activated depending on the conditions mentioned below. You can use this to
set an entire group of controller blocks simultaneously in program mode from a central
control block. The operable input parameter AdvCoOn as well as the interconnectable
input parameter AdvCoMstrOn can be used parallel, since the input parameter
AdvCoMstrOn only reacts to edges of the binary signal.
For a 1>0 edge change the program mode is deactivated again.
The output parameter AdvCoRdy = 1 indicates that the PID control is ready to change to
program mode. At a central control block you can use an AND operation of all
AdvCoRdy signals of the associated controls to enable a central switchover.
Output parameter AdvCoAct = 1 indicates, that the block is in program mode.

PCS 7 System course
13.3.7 Operating mode "Local"
This operating mode is used for motors, valves and dosage feeders. Control occurs
directly or via a “local” control station. Additionally, various behaviors can be set via the
LocalSetting parameter. Operating the block in the OS is not possible.

Changing to local mode
Changing to local mode is only possible from the manual and automatic operating
modes. The change to this mode is initiated by:
• An operation on the faceplate (input parameter LocalOp = 1,
valid if LocalSetting = 3 or LocalSetting = 4 and ModLiOp = 0) or
• The interconnected input parameter (LocalLi = 1, valid if LocalSetting = 1 or
LocalSetting = 2).
Exiting local mode
You leave local mode using:
• An operation on the faceplate (LocalSetting = 3 or LocalSetting = 4 and
ModLiOp = 0) or
• The interconnected input parameter (LocalSetting = 1 or LocalSetting = 2).
• In order to exit local mode via the interconnected input parameter, you can configure
various reactions using Feature bit 10 (Exiting local mode).
 See [113] PCS 7 V8.0 Advanced Process Library - 12_2011, 1.1.10 for a description
of these „Feature“-Bits. Also check the online help.

PCS 7 System course
13.3.8 LocalSetting = 0
If the parameter LocalSetting has a 0 at the input, a changeover to Local mode is
not possible. Via the faceplate the motor can only be switched on and off in “Manual” or
“Automatic” mode.

For LocalSetting = 1 the control signals are from the field (remote, off, on) via
channel blocks to interconnectable parameters of the motor block.
The motor block forwards the start signal via channel blocks to the MCC (Motor-Control-
Center) which switches the motor on.
The feedback of the running motor is forwarded from the MCC at the motor block via the
interconnectable parameter FbkRun.
In Local mode, no operation is possible from the faceplate. Switching to other modes is
also not possible.

In this case the Local switch is directly connected with the MCC which can directly
switch the motor on or off.
The motor block is controlled via a tracking of the feedback message. The control of the
input signals StartLocal and StopLocal is ineffective in this case. Switching over
into another mode is not possible here, since it is switched over via LocalLi. I.e. the
Local mode is controlled from the field.
The output parameter LocalAct, which is connected to the MCC via a channel driver
Pcs7DiOu, sees to it that switching on and off locally is also only possible in Local
mode.

In case of LocalSetting = 3 the control signals are coming from the field level
(on/off). This setting works as in LocalSetting = 1.
The difference is that the Local mode is selected via the faceplate.

In case of LocalSetting = 4 the control signals are from the field (on/off).
This setting case works as in LocalSetting = 2. The difference is that the Local mode
is selected via the faceplate.
The output parameter LocalAct, which is connected to the MCC via a channel driver
Pcs7DiOu, sees to it that switching on and off locally is also only possible in Local
mode.
13.3.13 Deactivating interlocks
Via the input parameter BypProt (bypass protection) it can be specified whether
interlocks are taken into account in Local mode or not. This functionality applies for all
LocalSettings in Local mode. A “0” at the input means that interlocks are taken into
account in Local mode and a value “1” means that the interlock has no effect.
The interlock is displayed as a lock next to the Protection button in the faceplate. A
crossed-out lock refers to an interlock which is not in effect (BypProt = 1).
In case the control signals go directly to the MCC, an interlock to the MCC can become
effective through the output parameter LockAct at the motor block.

13.3.14 Forcing operating states
The forcing of operating states function lets you set the function block into a different
operating state using interconnectable input parameters, regardless of the currently
active control. This can, for example, be:
• Forces tracking for closed-loop controllers and control values
• Enabling and disabling at motors
• Opening and closing of valves
Forcing of operating states is only possible in the manual and automatic modes. Forcing
operating states has the highest priority over both operating modes.
The input parameter xxxxForce = 1 (for example OpenForce and CloseForce at a
valve) is used for forced controlling of the function block and thus an intervention in the
function of the block, irrespective of currently active controls, interlock conditions and
monitoring errors. If the input parameters are inconsistent (for example OpenForce =
1 and CloseForce = 1 at valves), an error number is output at the parameter
ErrorNum and the control remains unchanged.
Display in the block icon and the faceplate
A forced operating state is indicated in the block icon and in the standard view of the
faceplate:
Block icon A forced operating state is shown in the block icon for motors,
valves and dose blocks by means of a red F and a crossed out
padlock.
There is no indication for controller blocks.
Faceplate In the standard view of the faceplate, an information text on the
forced operating state is displayed (e.g. "Forced open" in case
of a valve). In addition this is shown with a crossed out
padlock.

13.3.15 Rapid stop for motors
Activated with
feature bit 14
Rapid stop has the highest priority in all operating modes (manual and automatic mode
as well as local mode) and operating states (such as the forcing of states). It is activated
via the faceplate. This depends on the setting at the Feature bit 14 (Enabling rapid
stop via faceplate).
You issue the command for rapid stop state using the RapidStp = 1 input parameter.
When you click on the "Rapid Stop" button in the faceplate, the drive stops immediately,
shown as follows in the faceplate:
The R_StpAct = 1 output parameter is set to implement the rapid stop function for
local mode. You need to interconnect this parameter to the corresponding driver block
and in the I/O to realize the rapid stop function in the hardware.
Rapid stop is unlocked for all operating modes with the "Reset" button in the faceplate
(ResetOp = 1); in CFC it is unlocked with the ResetLi = 1 input parameter.
Rapid stop can be selected even with the motor in stop state. In this case, the motor
start is prevented.

13.3.16 Priorities of operating modes and control functions
To ensure that drives can assume a safe state with different modes and control
functions (Quick Stop/Forcing of operating states), the control commands or modes
must be assigned different priorities.
Thus a drive which is switched off, for example, by the operator at the local control must
not be switched on by an automatic mode command. The priorities for the modes and
functions of the motor are given in the following picture. The hand mode and the
automatic mode have the lowest priority here.

What is your opinion?
• Why does local operation mode has higher
priority than manual or automatic mode?
