1 Task Description and Solution
1.1 Task

1.1 Task
The standardization of automation technology for process engineering plants, in
the chemical industry for example, is a great challenge. Various processes and
process steps, different devices and flexibility in the production process make this
task very difficult.
One approach for standardization is structuring the user software into equipment
modules.
In the DIN EN 61512 standard an equipment module is defined as device control
within technical equipment. A technical equipment consists of the user program as
well as of the physical equipment.
1.2 Solution
1.2.1 Equipment Modules
This application example contains standardized equipment modules in form of

software typicals (process tag types), which are supplied in SIMATIC PCS 7 as a

multiproject.
 Reducing the required know-how for application development
 Reducing the configuration workload
 Illustrating typical control strategies
 Unified structures
 Flexible structure of partial automation solutions
The equipment modules supply a template containing the typical components of a

partial automation solution, its control, the required logic and the visualization.
An equipment module is configured independently of the automation hardware and
is part of a preconfigured PCS 7 project, including the process visualization. Due to
the hardware-independent configuration and the modular structure, the equipment
modules can be integrated and added to PCS 7 projects at will. The equipment
modules are created on the basis of the function blocks and process tag types of
the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL) and Industry Library (IL).

Description
The concept of equipment modules offers pre-programmed and unified
components for creating an automation solution, such as dosing or tempering.
The equipment modules have been realized in the PCS 7 multiproject as follows:
 the Component view contains one project for the automation system (AS) and
one project for the operator station (OS) respectively.
 the Plant hierarchy contains a hierarchy folder for each equipment module.
In the AS project all control functions have been realized in form of CFC charts
(Continuous Function Chart). Furthermore, the AS-project contains a simulation
which simulates a process, e.g. filling level change, within an equipment module.
The OS project contains the visualization with one process image each per
equipment module and shows:
 the schematic layout of the equipment module
 a simulation
 the relevant characteristic values (KPI = Key Performance Indicator)
 a display of the control quality
Restriction
The industrial process is not simulated within the equipment module.

2 Basics
2.1 General
Automation systems
Industrial processes, e.g. in the chemical or pharmaceutical industry, are controlled
using automation technology.
The degree of automation of the plants varies considerably and depends on the
plant type and the process.
An automation solution normally comprises the following aspects:
 Measurement and control
 Controlling including higher-level control strategies, if necessary
 Transmission, processing and display of information
 Meeting defined steps and procedures
 Considering complex interactions
 Ensuring constant product quality
Process control
The primary task of the operator is the operative process management based on
process and plant information regarding production process and its logistics and
auxiliary processes.
Using process management guarantees the directed and reproducible adjustment
of operating conditions and ensures meeting defined tolerance ranges. In the case
of a failure, measures need to be taken in order to return the process to the desired
state. Additionally, the process sequence shall be optimized continuously regarding
costs, quality and safety.

2.2 Standardized plant components

Partial automation solution
The figure below shows the components of a bioethanol production plant. The
process is divided into several process steps, such as fermentation and distillation.
The individual process steps are divided into units, which in return consist of
various equipment modules such as dosing or agitating.
This division is the basis for the structure of the partial automation solution.

Automation solution
Unit
The term “unit” stands for a unit in industrial process plants (e.g. stirrer tank
reactor, fermenter) including the device, sensors, actuators and automation
software (hardware and software).
Structured units exist for continuous as well as discontinuous processes.
A unit variant is the so-called “package unit”. Examples for “package units” are
refrigeration plants, vacuum systems and packaging machines. Here the
manufacturer of the mechanical process engineering device provides an
automation software specifically designed for this device, which is located on a
separate hardware. The “package unit” is integrated as a whole into a higher-level
process control system.
Equipment Module
An equipment module is a component of a unit and contains sensors, actuators
and the automation hardware and software. Equipment modules are designed and
configured to be used in specific applications, e.g. in process technology (doser,
filling level or temperature control).
The automation solution of an equipment module is structured as follows:
 Interconnected and configured process tags
 Simulation for illustrating the principle of operation
Each equipment module is summarized in a hierarchy folder and can be integrated
into existing projects.
Equipment Modules
Entry-ID: 53843373, V2.2, 04/2014 11
2 Basics
Control Module
The control module (aldo control unit) consists of actuators and sensors. In PCS 7,
the control module is realized with software typicals (process tag types), e.g. for a
valve, motor or a controller.
The realization in the CFC chart contains all relevant blocks, interconnections and
basic parameters. A process tag type is generated from the CFC and is stored in
the PCS 7 master data library. Any number of instances can be created with this
process type, e.g. using the Import/Export wizard (IEA).
Each individual controller designation (process tag designation) is based on a
uniform name convention. This means the designation states the function and task
of the control module.
Unit Template
A unit template is composed of several equipment modules.
In a unit template, equipment modules are combined into a partial automation
function. Additionally a unit template contains a CFC chart with economic or
process engineering characteristic numbers (KPI characteristics), a CFC chart for
monitoring the operating time and CFC charts for simulation.
A unit template is summarized in a hierarchy folder and can be easily integrated
into and adjusted to existing projects.
As opposed to the “package units”, the Unit concept does not set up any local
“insular control” with proprietary hardware, but creates prefabricated software
solutions for frequently occurring units in a central process control system. Partial
automation solutions for industrial plants are supplied in a standardized,
prefabricated and user editable format. The templates only need to be adjusted to
the existing process technology as well as the automation hardware. This clearly
reduces the engineering expenses for further similar automation tasks.
Configuration via templates

The configuration using templates can be performed on unit level, on equipment
module level or control module level.
On the control module level, a template for creating instances is generated via the
process tag type in PCS 7. Configuration and interconnection of the process tag
types can be automated using an import/export file.
Equipment modules or units are duplicated as a unit and adjusted to the respective
process technology.
The equipment module and the unit template contain all functions required for the
automation in form of:
 CFC charts (instances of process tag types)
 SFC charts
 OS pictures

3.2 Plant view
3.2 Plant view

The equipment modules are realized in two hierarchy layers in the Plant view.
In the AS project “EquipmentModules_AS_Prj” the first hierarchy layer is empty
and the subordinate hierarchy layer contains a hierarchy folder for each equipment
module with the required CPC charts in it.
The first hierarchy layer of OS project “EquipmentModules_OS_Prj” contains the
overview screen of all “EquipmentModules.pdl” equipment modules. The
subordinate hierarchy layer contains a hierarchy folder for each equipment module
with a process image. The following figure shows a schematic representation of the
folder structure, i.e. the names of the subfolders deviate from the folder names
used in the PCS 7 projects.

4.1 Introduction
4 Control Module
4.1 Introduction
A control module is used for controlling individual devices such as motors, valves
and controllers. The blocks required for this task, e.g. for controlling a valve are
combined in a process tag. If the same process tag is used several times in the
project, a process tag type is created from this process tag in PCS 7 and filed in
the master data library. This process tag type can be used flexibly in the project as
an instance.
This chapter gives you detailed information on the structure and functioning of the
process tag type which form the basis of the process tags of the equipment
modules. All process tag types are filed in the “EquipmentModules_Lib” master
data library of the PCS 7 project.
Figure 4-1
The process tag types are divided as follows:

 Measured value display in the “AMON” folder
 Controller in the “CTRL” folder
 Motor in the “MOT” folder
 Valve in the “VAL” folder
The process tag types have a compact and structured design, i.e. all blocks
relevant for a process tag are located at defined locations. Relevant channel blocks
are located in subchart B of a CFC chart.
Detailed information on configuration and parameter settings is available in chapter
5 “Equipment Modules”.

4 Control Module
4.2 “CTRL” controller

The controller process tag contains the control block, additional monitoring and
locking functions (interlock functionality) and a connection to a sequential control.
The process tag types used as an instance in equipment modules are described
below:
 “CTRL__Std” for standard PID controls
 “CTRL_Std4Valve” for standard PID controls with valve connector
 “CTRL_Std4MPC” for standard PID controls with MPC setpoint specification
 “CTRL_Splitrange” for controls with a manipulated variable and two actuators
 “CTRL_RatioMain” and “CTRL_RatioComp” for ratio control
 “CTRL_MPC4Valve” Multi-variable controller for one control variable
 “CTRL_MPC” Multi-variable controller for standard control operations
4.2.1 Standard controller
Process tag type “CTRL__Std” is used for fixed value and cascade control.
Examples for standard controls are:

 Filling level control with inlet and outlet
 Temperature control
The figure below shows the structure of the controller process tag.

4 Control Module
Subchart A
Sheet 1 contains the following blocks:
 C (“PIDConL”): PID controller
 CPM (“ConPerMon”): block for permanent monitoring of the control quality
The operating mode, setpoint, actual and manipulated value outputs of the
controller are interconnected with the CPM block.
Sheet 2 contains the following blocks.
 Connector (“ConnPID”): block for SFC connection (no component of the APL
or the standard library)
 Logic blocks for selecting the operating mode and for interlocking
– SP_LiOp (“Or04”): setpoint source internal / external
– SP_IntLi (“Or04”): internal setpoint value via interconnection
– MV_Forced (“SelA02In”): forced manipulated value with selection (“In1”
undefined, “In2” SFC connection)
– MV_ForOn (“Or04“): activates forced manipulated value “In2” (MV_Forced)
at the PID controller
– ManModOpLi (“Or04”): formation of an OR output signal from field device
in maintenance mode (channel blocks PV and MV) and invalid process
value (channel block PV in subchart “B”, sheet 1).
With the SFC connection operation-relevant data are transferred to the PID
controller via the logic blocks. Additionally, channel blocks and the interlock block
(subchart “A”, sheet 3) influence the output signals of the logic blocks.
Sheet 3 contains the following block:

 Intlock (Intlk08): block for calculating a standardized interlock with optional
display on the OS.
Interlock becomes active for invalid process value (MV channel block in subchart
“B”, sheet 2). In the case of the active interlocking, the controller goes to manual
mode and uses the forced manipulated value “In1” of the “MV_Forced” block.
Subchart B
 Sim (“SimAn”): simulation block (block description in the appendix)
 PV (“Pcs7AnIn”): channel block for signal processing of an analog input value
 Sqrt (“SwSqrt”): linearization block (block description in the appendix)
Simulation block “SimAn” is interconnected with “Pcs7AnIn” a channel block. The
simulated process value is “0”. A linearization of the process value is not performed
(Mode = 0 in the Sqrt block).
NOTE If no simulation is used, the real process value must be interconnected at input
“PV_In” of channel block PV (“Pcs7AnIn”). The simulation is deactivated by
entering the value “0” at simulation block “SimAn” at input “Sim1Act0p”.

 MV (“Pcs7AnOu”): channel block for signal processing of an analog output
value
 CSF (“Or04”): formation of an OR output signal from output “Bad” (process
value invalid) of channel blocks PV and MV
 OosAct (“Or04”): formation of an OR output signal from output “OosAct” (field
device in maintenance mode) of channel blocks PV and MV
The “PV_In” input of the channel block is interconnected with output “MV”
(manipulated value) of the PID controller. Additionally, the channel block is
interconnected with simulation block “SimAn” (subchart “B”, sheet 1).
NOTE If no simulation is used, the real process value (e.g. positioner) must be
interconnected at output “PV_Out” of channel block MV (“Pcs7AnOu”). The
simulation is deactivated by entering the value “0” at simulation block “SimAn” at
input “Sim2Act0p.
4.2.2 Standard controller with valve connection

Similar to "CTRL__Std", the process tag type "CTRL_Std4Valve" is used for fixed
value and cascade control. In contrast to "CTRL__Std", however, the process tag
does not include a channel block for the control valve (MV), but is interconnected
with a valve process tag type ("Val_An").
The following section describes the changes as compared with the process tag
type "CTRL_Std" and which are highlighted in green in the figure below.
Figure 4-3
Sheet 1 Sheet 4 Sheet 1
Sheet 3
Subchart A
Sheet 3 contains the interlock block which uses the following signals of the valve
process tag for a standardized interlock with optional display in the OS:
 signaling of an invalid process value ("Bad" signal) at the MV and Rbk channel
block
 signaling of field device maintenance (OosAct signal) at the MV and Rbk
channel block

Entry-ID: 53843373, V2.2, 04/2014 18
4 Control Module
Sheet 5 contains the following interconnection blocks for quick engineering.

 to_Valve ("ComStruIn"): Transmits the manipulated variable (MV) and the
interlock status to the valve process tag
 from_Valve ("ComStruOu"): Receives the feedback from the actuating signal
(Rbk), messages indicating invalid process values and field device
maintenance of the channel blocks MV and Rbk, the control unit (OutUnit) and
scaling (ScaleOut) of the valve process tag.
 Subchart B
 In sheet 1, the messages from the channel blocks of the valve process tag are
additionally identified at the blocks CSF and OosAct (shifted from sheet 2).
 Sheet 2 no longer contains a channel block for the signal processing of an
analog output value, as it is already included in the valve process tag.
4.2.3 Standard controller with MPC setpoint specification
Similar to "CTRL_Std4Valve", the process tag type "CTRL_Std4MPC" is used for

fixed value and cascade control. In contrast to "CTRL_Std4Valve", however, the
"CTRL_Std4MPC" process tag includes an additional block for connection to the
process tag of the multi-variable controller ("CTRL_MPC"). Control is effected via
the manipulated variable of the MPC process tag.
NOTE The following two connections between the process tags "CTRL_Std4MPC" and
"CTRL_MPC" are to be configured:
 the blocks "ComStruOu" of the MPC controller and "ComStruIn" of the PID controller
 the associated MV output parameter of the MPC controller and the SP_Ext input
parameter of the block "ConnPID" of the PID controller
The following section describes the changes as compared with the process tag
type "CTRL_Std4Valve" which are highlighted in green in the figure below.

Sheet 5 additionally contains the following block:
 to_MPC ("ComStruIn"): Transmits control commands from the PID controller
("SP_InHiOut", "SP_InLoOut", "PV_Out", "CascaCut", "PV_UnitOut") to the
MPC controller.
4.2.4 Split range controller
Process tag type “CTRL_Splitrange” is used for controlling several manipulated

variables with one actuator (with restricted effective range and, possibly, opposed
direction of control action).
Examples for split range controllers are:
 Temperature control with separate manipulated variables for heating and
cooling
 Pressure control with separate valves for gas feed and for heating and venting

tags.
The split range block divides the manipulated value of the PID controller between
its outputs (Out1 and Out2). The limit values (Out1Scale and Out2Scale) are
configured from the communication blocks (from_ValAn1 and from_ValAn2).

4.2.5 Ratio controller
The ratio controller is composed of a flow rate controller for the main components
and another flow rate controller for each added component.
Examples for ratio controllers are:
 Mixing control of liquids or gases with defined mixing ratios
 Fuel feed in a defined ratio with air supply for gas burners

4.2.7 Multi-variable controller for standard control operations
The process tag type "CTRL_MPC" is used, among others, for fixed value and
cascade control. In contrast to "CTRL__Std", however, the multi-variable controller
manages up to four interlinked manipulated and controlled variables. The process
tag type in the example below is laid out for up to 3 control variables and, if
required, one further measurable disturbance variable can be acquired.
Note For further information and notes on the model-based predictive controller for
more than one measurable disturbance variable, please refer to the document
"SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 PCS 7 Advanced Process Library
V8.0" under the entry ID: 57265842.
Due to the complexness of control operations (influenced by up to four control

variables), the multi-variable controller is preferably used for slower control actions.
Examples of multi-variable control operations include:
 regulation of the pH value
 control of a distillation process (rectification)

The figure below shows the structure of a controller process tag.

Note When applying the operating point optimization function, the control variable is
not assigned to an exact setpoint (e. g. SP1) but to a tolerance range. The

4.4 “Val_An” valve

General
The following process tag types are described below, which are used as instance
in equipment modules:
 “Val_An_Afb1” for controlling an analog valve with feedback signal
4.4.1 Analog valve (continuously adjustable valves) with position feedback
The process tag type is used for controlling an analog valve with feedback signal.
The control signal can be formed via a ramp function.
The block forms the manipulated value difference from the difference between the
control signal and the recorded manipulated value feedback. In this way, it is able
to monitor the compliance with an upper and lower limit value.
Examples for the valve process tag are:
 Controlling and monitoring a flow volume (solids, liquids and gases)
 Controlling and monitoring a flow volume with adjustable rest position
The figure below shows the structure of a valve process tag.

is given by channel block Rbk (subchart “B”, sheet 1).
NOTE The lower (MV_LoLim = “0”) and upper (MV_HiLim= “100”) limit value for limited
output of the manipulated value is preconfigured. If a limited manipulated value is
required, you interconnect the MV_ExtOut output.

(“0”) requires a reset of the valve block
 BypassAct (“Or04”): forming an OR output signal of the BypAct outputs of the

5.1 “Level-Control” filling level
5 Equipment Modules
This chapter contains all relevant information on each equipment module including
its specific properties. Structure and basic functionality of the used process tag
types is described in chapter 4 “Control Module”.
The following equipment modules are described below:
 “Level-Control” filling level
 “Ratio-Control”
 “Split-Range-Pressure” control
 “Split-Range-Temperature” control
 Control of the pH value with a standard controller „pH-Control-Std“
 Control of the pH value with a multi-variable controller „pH-Control-MPC“
 “Temperature-Flow-Cascade”

For filling level control, feedstock components are fed into a container via a feed
pipe and the substance mixture is drained via a drain outlet. The controller reacts
to deviations of the filling level (difference between inflow and discharge volume)
and controls these either via reducing or increasing the inflow or drainage.
The example below solves the filling level control via the drainage (drain outlet).
5.1.1 Overview
The structure is displayed in a P&I diagram below and all process tags and the
simulation of the equipment module are described.

5.1.4 Different requirements regarding the filling level control in industrial

processes
Depending on the task to be fulfilled by a container or tank in an industrial process

plant, the objectives of filling level control are of different natures:
1. The filling level shall be kept at a specified setpoint as exactly as possible, e.g.
in a reactor or in the sump of a distillation column. This is required, if the filling
level has an effect on chemical reactions or separation processes, i.e. it is
significant for the process. Variations in the inflow (feed) are compensated via
the outlet.
2. A container (e.g. a tank) is used as a buffer, so as to keep the inflow and drain
as constant as possible. In this case, filling level control is not based on a fixed
Equipment Modules
Entry-ID: 53843373, V2.2, 04/2014 53
5 Equipment Modules
setpoint, but shall remain within the permissible limits. This type of task is
referred to as "buffered level control".
For the first type of task we recommend the use of a standard structure with a PID
tuner, whereby most filling level control operations are integral action processes
(using a manipulated value). In some cases a P-controller (without I-action) is
sufficient, as it harmonizes better with the dynamics of the integrated process,
although it shows persistent control deviations in case of feed disturbances. If the
valve curve does not show a linear profile, we recommend the use of a cascade
structure with a master controller for the filling level and a slave controller for the
outlet (precondition: flow rate measurement at the outlet).
The second type of task (buffered level control) requires a different behavior which
applies to the majority of applications in practice. In this case, variations in the
inflow (feed) are compensated by means of the tank volume.
This can be realized in two different ways: Instead of continuously measuring the
filling level and adjusting it to a defined setpoint, the minimum and maximum limits
are monitored with the help of binary (e.g. capacitive) level switches. This solution
is not based on a continuous control system, but uses an event-discrete control
system, i.e. the inflow or outflow are shut-off via a binary signal from a level switch.
The second solution is based on a controller which is purposely set to a slower
speed. In the course of configuration, the maximum admissible deviation Δhmax of
the filling level from the setpoint (most often 50% of the tank height) and the
maximum erratic inflow disturbances dmax to be expected are defined. With regard
to persistent control errors, the gain of the P controller must be set to a value larger
than Gain=dmax/Δhmax . A PI controller can also be configured, so that the maximum
filling level adjustment in case of erratic disturbances is smaller than dmax. The
Dachema seminar on "Process control systems – from the basics to advanced
control applications" (see /2/ in section 8.1 “Further literature”) recommends to use
the following formulas:
GainEff=0.7358dmax/Δhmax
Ti= 5.4366/Ki *Δhmax/ dmax
Note The physical controller gain corresponds to [MV_Unit/PV_Unit]. In the case of

normalization (NormPV ≠ NormMV), the gain must be recalculated according to
the following formula:
Gain = GainEff * (NormPV.High - NormPV.Low)/(NormMV.High - NormMV.Low)
The integration constant Ki of the control loop in the unit [PV_Unit/s] can be
determined with the PID tuner. The integration constant is available under "Gain" in
the "Process parameter" area.

5.2 Ratio-Control
Controller process tag “FIC_MainComp” detects the flow rate of the main
component and controls it using the “YC_MainComp” control valve. The
“FI_MainComp” process tag indicates the process value (flow rate) and the status
values of the “FIC_MainComp” process tag.
Additionally, “FIC_MainComp” transfers the own setpoint value to process tag
“FFIC_Comp_1”. “FIC_MainComp” is subsequently the master controller for
“FFIC_Comp_1”.
Controller process tag “FFIC_Comp_1” detects the flow rate of the additional
component and controls it using the “YC_Comp_1” control valve. The “FI_Comp_1”
process tag uses the process value (flow rate) and the status values of the
“FIC_Comp_1” process tag.
The setpoint value contains “FFIC_Comp_1” from the “FIC_MainComp” process
tag, so “FFIC_Comp_1” is the slave controller.
Master controller “FIC_MainComp” receives information about hardware state and
operating state (“Out of service”) from the respective process tag “YC_MainComp”
and slave controller “FFIC_Comp_1”. Furthermore, the slave controller transfers
additional information, whether the cascade was separated or whether the slave
controller follows the master controller as intended. As soon as a hardware error or
the operating state “Out of service” occurs, or the cascade was separated for other
reasons, the “Interlock“ is triggered and master and slave controller go to tracking
mode.
Simulation „Sim_CompFlow“
In CFC chart “Sim_CompFlow” the flow rate of the main component and the
additional components are simulated and the entire flow volume is calculated.
Additionally, the flow volume is indicated on the basis of process tag type
“AMON_Flow”.
The graphic representation below shows the sequence of the simulation.

5. Determining the entire flow volume (addition)
Inputs “In1” of the selected blocks 1 and 3 receive their manipulated values from
the “I” valve blocks of the “YC_MainComp” and “YC_Comp_1” process tags.
Outputs “Out” of the selected blocks 2 and 4 are interconnected with the process
tag for process value display and the controller process tags of the respective
component.
FIC_MainComp
Process tag “FIC_MainComp” records the flow rate of the main component and
transfers it to the “FI_MainComp” process tag for measured value display. In order
to control the flow rate, control signals are transferred to the “YC_MainComp”
process tag via a communication block.
The setpoint value is transferred to the controller process tag(s) of the additional
component(s). Due to using the setpoint value instead of the manipulated value,
the controller structure does not correspond to a typical cascade control.
NOTE In communication block “to_Slave” the process value and the manipulated value
are transferred in addition to the setpoint value. The control result depends on

“Starting the Equipment Module”.
Commissioning
After starting the CPU (in the initial state) both controllers and the valve for the
main component are in manual mode. The valve for the additional component is in
automatic mode.
Due to the manual controller mode for additional component “FFIC_Comp_1” the
controller for main component “FIC_MainComp” is locked (Interlock function).
Therefore, the automatic mode of the main controller and the external setpoint
value cannot be activated.

Operation
The following instruction describes the operation of the equipment module “Ratio
Control”. After the startup and the adjustment of values, the flow rate of the main
component is 1000 l/h and the additional component 250 l/h (the ratio between
additional and main component is 0.25).
In the scenario below, the flow rate of the main component is increased from 1000
l/h to 1500 l/h.
Table 5-17
No. Action
1. Click on the block icon of the “FIC_MainComp” controller and click into the
“Setpoint” input field.
2. In the faceplate expansion you enter the new setpoint of 1500 l/h. Then
acknowledge the input with the “Enter” key and click on the “OK” button.
3. Wait approximately 50 seconds and then click on the “Start/Stop” symbol of the
OnlineTrendControl
4. In the toolbar of the OnlineTrendControl you click on the “ruler” icon and reduce
the ruler to the smallest value with the largest deviation, as displayed in the
evaluation below.
Evaluation
The “OnlineTrendControl” embedded in the process image is set to maximum
value range. After a ratio change the value range of the additional component
automatically adjusts.
Figure 5-9
Due to the different reaction times of the controller, the ratio is temporarily 29%
(0.29). In comparison to the set ratio value of 25% (0.25) a short-term deviation of
4% occurs before the correct ratio is reached in the steady-state.

5.2 Ratio-Control
The controller design for slave controller “FFIC_Comp_1” can in this case not be
improved by means of PID controller optimization, since the objective of the
controller design is optimal tracking of the additional component.
NOTE The online help offers further information and configuration notes on process tag
type “RatioControl”. The process tag type is available in the “PCS 7 Advanced
Process Library”.
The reaction time from OnlineTrendControl leads to the following considerations for
the controller design, in order to adjust the transient response of master and slave
control loop as much as possible:
 The relatively large deviation at the start of the control indicates an exceedingly
high gain of the slave controller, i.e. the actual value of the slave controller
increases faster than the actual value of the master controller.
 The relatively slow reaching of the final value of the setpoint step-change
indicates an exceedingly large integral time of the master controller, i.e. the
master controller settles slower than the slave controller.
A change in controller gain of slave controller “FFIC_Comp_1” from 0.25 to 0.1
and, at the same time, a change in the integral time of master controller
“FIC_MainComp” from 4.1 to 2 yields the following result for the same setpoint
step-change.
Figure 5-10
Due to the different reaction times of the controller, the ratio is 26.7% (0.29) after
optimization. In comparison to the set ratio value of 25% (0.25) a short-term
deviation of 1.7% occurs.

5.2.4 Expanding by a further component
General information
The “Ratio-Control” equipment module is designed for usage of one main
component and 2 additional components. The number of additional components is
limited by the interlock block or its number of interlock inputs respectively.
NOTE You can expand the “Ratio-Control” equipment module by more than 2 additional
substances using the following options.
1. Combine the signals of the communication blocks (from_Slave) with OR blocks. This
interconnects 1 valve and 7 additional components with an interlock block.
Disadvantage:
inaccurate error display, i.e. no differentiation between errors in cascade control, “Out
of service” signal of the controller block, and “Bad” status of the controller channel
blocks.
2. Duplicate the existing interlock block and combine both outputs of the interlock blocks
(“Out”) with an OR block. For interconnecting (“Out” output) the OR blockyou use the
interconnection (“Out” output) of the existing interlock block. You can call up the
faceplate of the first interlock block from the faceplate of the controller. The faceplate
of the second interlock block is opened via its block symbol in the process image.
Replace the existing interlock block containing 8 input signals (“Intlk08”) by an
3.
interlock block containing 16 input signals (“Intlk16”). Adopt all interconnections of the
previous interlock block.
Prerequisites
If various additional components are measured in different units, the conversion
factor in the ratio block also handles the unit conversion.
NOTE For different units the further unit of measure must be configured at the
additional component and the setpoint value converted, e.g. with a multiplier
block.
Additionally, clear labeling is recommended for a joint display of the trend curve.
If different manipulated ranges are required for sub-control loops of a ratio control,
the respective interconnections must be deleted and configured for the respective
sub-control loop.
NOTE Instructions on configuration and parameter settings are available in the function
manuals “SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7, PCS 7 Advanced Process
Library V7.1 SP5” at entry ID: 48034370 and “SIMATIC Process Control System

5.3 “Split-Range-Pressure” control

Pressure control is typically a fast control. The container pressure is increased by
feeding inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) via an inlet pipe. When opening the outlet valve,
the gas mixture is released and the container pressure reduced. The controller
reacts to a pressure change and controls it either by opening the inlet or the outlet
valve.
The example below solves the container pressure control by adding pressure and
venting.

The “PIC_Split” process tag uses the simulated container pressure from simulation
chart “Sim_PresLevel” and generates the setpoint specification for the split-range
controller. The PID controller transfers the control commands via communication
blocks “to_Val_An1” and “to_Val_An2” to the “YC_In” and “YC_Out” control valves.
Additionally, the controller process tag receives status information from the channel
drivers of the valve process tag via the “from_Val_An1” and “from_Val_An2”
communication blocks.
Simulation “Sim_PresLevel”
In CFC chart “Sim_PresLevel” the pressure change in the container is simulated
by inerting or venting.

PIC_Split
In the “PIC_Split” process tag the container pressure is recorded and transferred to
the “PI_Tank” process tag for measured value display. The setpoint is specified in
this process tag (“PIC_Split”). In order to control the container pressure, control
signals are transferred to the “YC_In” and “YC_Out” control valves via
“CTRL_Splitrange”.

NOTE For commissioning the “PIC_Split” controller the “PID-Tuner” program is

procedure for optimizing the controller. The experiment for data recording for the
“PID-Tuner” is initially performed in an operating range in which only positive
manipulated variables occur. Afterwards, a comparable experiment is made in an
operating range, where only negative manipulated variables occur.
If both partially controlled sections for venting and inerting yield clearly different
values for the process gain, this must be compensated by a varied increase in
both branches of the split-range characteristic curve.

5.4 “Split-Range-Temperature” control

Temperature control is a slow speed control where the temperatures in the
container change slowly. To reach a specified temperature inside the container,
either heating steam or cooling water are fed into a heat exchanger or a vessel
shell. Due to the separation with heat-permeable walls, both methods are referred
to as indirect heat/cold transfer.
For the heat exchanger, the container contents are continuously fed back into the
container through the heat exchanger via a pipe, until a predefined temperature is
reached. The principle of operation for temperature control via the vessel shell is
equal to that of the heat exchanger. For temperature control via the vessel shell the
container contents are mixed using an agitator.
NOTE The “Split-Range-Temperature” equipment module can be employed for

processes where temperature control is intended via the container vessel shell or
via an external heat exchanger.
In the following example, the temperature control is solved by using a heat

exchanger.

The “TIC_Temp” process tag uses the simulated container temperature from
simulation chart “Sim_TempLevel” and generates the setpoint specification for the
split-range controller. This configures the desired temperature curve in the
“TIC_Temp” process tag. The “TI_Tank” process tag indicates the process value
and the status values of the “TIC_Temp” process tag.
The “TIC_Split” process tag receives the specified setpoint from the master
controller and controls the simulated temperature of a heat exchanger, which
transfers heat to the inside of the container. The “TI_HeatExchanger” process tag
indicates the process value and the status values of the “TIC_Split” process tag.
The split-range control is handled via the “TIC_Split” controller process tag. The
PID controller transfers the control commands via communication blocks
“to_Val_An1” and “to_Val_An2” to the “YC_Heat” and “YC_Cool” control valves.
Additionally, the controller process tag receives status information from the channel
drivers of the valve process tag via the “from_Val_An1” and “from_Val_An2”
“Sim_TempLevel” simulation
A temperature change through heating steam or cooling water on the heat

exchanger as well as the inside container temperature are simulated in the
“Sim_TempLevel” CFC chart.

1. Reducing the manipulated variable for the simulation, which enables an

amplified valve opening representation for heating valves and cooling valves in
the trend plotter.
2. Calculating the temperature of a heat exchanger. The temperature change
depends on the valve opening for both valves (bipolar signal is distributed
between the heating steam and the cooling water valve) and is processed after
running a delay block.
3. Inside container temperature changing in relation to the heat exchanger. The
temperature inside the container is 40% lower than in the heat exchanger
(factor 0.6) and is calculated after running two delay elements. The output
signal (container temperature) comes with a slight signal noise.

NOTE The simulation behavior does not correspond to a real process and is used for
displaying the functionality and principle of operation of the equipment module
“Split Range Temperature”. The “SIMU_AI” shows integrated behavior with an
equally strong heating and cooling effect. For real heat exchangers a
temperature loss and different behavior during heating (e.g. steam) and cooling
(e.g. river water) must be expected.
TIC_Temp
In the “TIC_Temp” process tag the inside container pressure (product temperature)
is recorded and transferred to the “TI_Temp” process tag for measured value
display. The setpoint is specified in the “TIC_Temp” process tag, which transfers
the setpoint value to the slave controller (“TIC_Split” process tag) as external
setpoint value. This makes the “TIC_Temp” process tag the master controller of the
cascade control.
The “TIC_Temp” process tag is an instance of process tag type “CTRL__Std” and
contains two additional communication blocks (“to_Slave” and “from_Slave_1”).
The following table shows the configuration of the instance from “CTRL__Std”.

After setpoint value change SP 1 the master controller calculates a manipulated

variable MV 1 and forwards it to the slave controller in the cascade. This
manipulated variable is represented as setpoint SP 2 for the slave controller in the
trend diagram.
The slave controller calculates the manipulated variable MV 2 from the setpoint
value trend SP 2. MV 2 affects the heating and cooling valves and yields the
temperature trend PV 2 of the heat exchanger.
Temperature PV 1 in the container follows the temperature of the heat exchanger
PV 2 with some delay.
Legend The setpoint value (SP 1) causes noise in the MV 2 manipulated variable. The
oscillation of the MV 2 manipulated variable around the neutral position is due to
the simulation. At the real process this alternating behavior of heating and
1 cooling needs to be avoided.

NOTE For commissioning the “TIC_Split” controller the “PID-Tuner” program is

available to you. Chapter 6.3 “Configuration of the PID controllers” describes the
procedure for optimizing the controller. The experiment for data recording for the
“PID-Tuner” is initially performed in an operating range in which only positive
manipulated variables occur. Afterwards, a comparable experiment is made in an
operating range, where only negative manipulated variables occur.
If both partially controlled sections for heating and cooling yield clearly different
values for the process gain, this must be compensated by a varied increase in
both branches of the split-range characteristic curve.
After the slave controller, including the split-range, has been fully started up and
tested, the “TIC_Temp” master controller is adjusted using the “PID Tuner”
program.
The online help offers further information and configuration notes on process tag
type “CascadeControl”. The process tag type is available in the “PCS 7

5.5 Control of the pH value with a standard controller

The equipment module "pH-Control-Std" is used to regulate the pH value of a
product. This is effected by adding a neutralizing agent to the product during the
continuous plant process until the desired pH value is reached.
Due to the highly nonlinear titration curve this means that, depending on the
operating point, the control loop gain may be subject to extreme variations. Only in
applications in which the pH value shall be kept constant within a very narrow
range, and if the disturbing influences are limited, the pH value can be regulated
with a preconfigured PID controller. The specialty of the equipment module
presented here is the transformation of the pH setpoint and the pH process value
into concentration differences, so as to achieve a linearization of the control loop
characteristic. This transformation is based on a titration curve which describes the
behavior of the chemical reaction of the given process at least by approximation.
In the case of complex applications with long dead times (because of the
measuring dead time of the pH probe, the time required for mixing and the reaction
time of the neutralizer) and the requirement of dynamic disturbance compensation
based on the pH value in the inflow (feed), we recommend to compensate these
influences with the help of a multi-variable controller.

process tags and simulation of the equipment module.

Process tags
The equipment module "pH-Control-Std" consists of 3 interconnected process tags
and a simulation chart. The simulation chart is used to calculate the pH setpoint on
the basis of the concentration difference between component and neutralizer.
The setpoint (pH value) is defined in an OpAnL block. The controller receives the
converted pH values (setpoint and actual value) in the form of a concentration
difference for regulation.
The table below provides an overview of the process tags for the equipment
module including the associated process tag types.

The controller process tag "QIC_pH_Control_Std" captures the pH value in the

tank (product) and – depending on the concentration differences between pH
setpoint and actual pH value – it adds the required amount of neutralizer via the
control valve "YC_NeutrSubst". Since the controller process tag is used to display
the concentration difference, the pH value is displayed with the help of a display
process tag. If the valve process tag shows an error, the controller process tag will
change over to manual mode and display will be realized in both process tags.

The block inputs include notional parameters for the buffer parameter "Alfa" and
the amplitude range "Ampl_pH" to be covered. In addition, fixed values for the pH

QIC_pH_Control_Std
This process tag is used to pick up the product’s pH value in the tank during a
continuous production process and to transfer this value to the process tag
"QI_pH_Tank" in the measured value display. In this process tag, the setpoint is
defined in an OpAnl block. Setpoint and actual value are converted into
concentration differences and then transmitted to the controller.
Note The titration curve for a specific chemical process must be configured with the
help of the PID tuner before the PID controller is set. For further information on
how to convert the pH value into a concentration difference please refer to the
block description in chapter 10.5 "Block description "pHTitrBlock.
The pH value is regulated by transmitting control signals to the valve process tag
"YC_NeutrSubst".
Note If the component feed rate is expected to be subject to large differences, we

recommend to realize disturbance compensation through linear conversion of the
manipulated value using the block "pHTitrBlock". This block is described in
chapter 10.5 "Block description "pHTitrBlock.

5.6 Control of the pH value with a multi-variable controller

Control of the pH value with the help of the multi-variable controller "pH-Control-
MPC" is used for the same control task but fulfills some special requirements
regarding the highly nonlinear titration curve, whereby the pH value is regulated
with a standard controller, supplemented by the targeted compensation of dead
times in the control loop (because of the measured dead time of the pH probe, the
time required for mixing and the reaction time of the neutralizer), as well as a
model-based compensation of measurable disturbances resulting from variations in
the pH value of the infeed material.
In the following example, regulation of a product’s pH value by adding a
neutralizing agent is supplemented by considering not only the pH value of the
product, but also the process value and inflow volume (feed) of the component.
This example is intended for a continuous process in which the pH value and the
inflow volume (feed) of the component can be modified.
5.6.1 Overview
The P&I diagram below shows the structure and describes all process tags and the
simulation of equipment modules.

Process tags
The equipment module "pH-Control-MPC" consists of 4 interconnected process
tags and one simulation chart. In the simulation chart, the pH value and the inflow
volume of component and neutralizer (manipulated value of the valve) are used to
determine the product’s pH value.
The pH values of the component and the pH setpoint, as well as the inflow volume
(feed) can be adjusted by the operator in the OS with the help of the OpAnL blocks
added to the simulation chart and the controller process tag.
The controller uses pH values (setpoint and actual value of the product and actual
value of the component) which have been converted into concentration differences.
Furthermore, the feed rate of component influences the amount of neutralizer to be
added, since the maximum manipulated value changes in relation to the factor of
actual and maximum inflow volume of the component.
Note For further information on the calculation of manipulated values and scaling,
please refer to the description of blocks in chapter 10.5 "Block description
"pHTitrBlock.
The following values are specified in the OpAnL blocks and can be adjusted in the
visualization display:
 pH setpoint (product)
 pH value of the component
 inflow volume (feed) of the component
For easier handling, not all specified values have been allocated to a display
process tag.
The table below provides an overview of the process tags and equipment modules
including the associated process tag types.

The controller process tag "QIC_pH_Control_MPC" records the pH value of the

component and the pH value of the outflowing product in the form of concentration
differences. Depending on the pH difference (setpoint and actual value of the
product), the required amount of neutralizing agent will be added to the tank via the
control valve "YC_Neutralizer". If an error occurs in the valve process tag, the
controller process tag changes over to manual mode and the error will be displayed
at both process tags.

The block inputs include notional parameters for the buffer parameter "Alfa"
and the amplitude range "Ampl_pH" to be passed. In addition, fixed values for
the pH value and the feed rate of the component as used in the OpAnL blocks
are used for calculation.
For the pH simulation value (simulation process) a dead time of 10 seconds, a
neutralizer infeed delay of 10 seconds and a gain factor of 3 are set by default.

4. In this example, the pH value of the component was changed by pH 0.5 with
an effect on the product of approx. pH 1.
Despite the early recognition of the disturbance variable, the controller takes
approx. 8 minutes for compensation and control. This period will also be required
for regulation, if the pH value of the component changes more significantly.

Temperature control with a cascade on a flow controller for a service medium (e. g.
heating steam, cooling water or fuel) is used for applications where variations
within the auxiliary control loop (of the flow controller) have to be balanced, or other
inconvenient features of the manipulated variable (e. g. non-linear valve curve) of
the slave controller have to be compensated and therefore do not become visible
to the master controller. Temperature-Flow-Cascade controls are used e.g. for heat
excahngers, reactors, or burners.

For the heat exchanger, the container contents or a component are continuously
pumped through the exchange heater via a pipe. In the process, the component is
heated or cooled to a defined temperature by the heat transfer of the service
medium.
The same regulative concept is applied for the bruner, i.e. the tempertaure is
controlled via the flow volume of the fuel.
Note The technical function „Temperature-Flow-Cascade“ can be employed for all

industrial applications where a flow is used to control the temperature.
In the following example, the temperature control of a heat exchanger which is

heated by a heating medium is observed. Heat exchangers can also be used to
cool a substance flow. The flow of a cooling medium is then controlled instead of a
heating medium. The generic name for heating or cooling medium is service
medium. Wether the intented purpose is heating or cooling does not affect the
control structure for heat exchangers. Merely the sign of the controlled section of
the master controller is altered.

The “TIC_Temperature” process tag uses the simulated feed temperature from
simulation chart “Sim_Temperature” and generates the setpoint specification for
the slave controller. This configures the desired temperature curve in the
“TIC_Temperature” process tag.
The “FIC_ServMedium” process tag receives the specified setpoint from the master
controller and controls the flow volume to the heat exchanger. The PID controller
transfers the control commands via communication blocks “to_Val_An1” to the
“YC_ServMedium” control valve. Additionally, the controller process tag receives
status information from the channel drivers of the valve process tag via the
“from_Val_An1” communication blocks.

1. If the valve is opened 100%, 5 t/h (factor 0.05) are output to the slave controller
as actual flow value with a delay of 3 seconds.
2. With a delay of 10 seconds (to simulate the heating of the heating capacity of
the heat exchanger) a value 10 times as high as the value of the heating steam
flow is transferred to the reference junction as actual value of the hot air
temperature.
3. Changing feed temperature which alteres between 20 °C and 21 °C every 90
seconds to simulate a disturbance.
4. Feed temperature for the master controller which alters depending on the heat
exchanger. The output signal can be complemented with a slight signal noise.
5. Substance temperature before being heated by the heat exchanger.
Note The simulation behavior does not correspond to a real process and is used for
displaying the functionality and principle of operation of the equipment module
“Temperature-Flow-Cascade“.

TIC_Temperature
In the “TIC-Temperature” process tag the feed temperature is recorded. The
setpoint is specified in this process tag. The "TIC_Temperature" measurement
point transfers the control variable as an external setpoint to the
"FIC_ServMedium" slave controller. Thus, the "TIC_Temperature" measurement
point is the master controller for cascading control. The "TIC_Temperature"
measurement point is an instance from the measurement point type
"CTRL_Std4Valve" and contains two additional communications modules
("to_Slave" and "from_Slave").The valve connection blocks were deleted.

measurement point contains communications modules for data exchange (control
signals and control commands) with the controller measurement point.
The valve module "V" contains an external control variable (through a

2. After recognizing the temperature change, the master controller transmits a

new setpoint value to the slave controller. The slave controller reacts directly to
this change by setting a new manipulated value (brown trend graph) and
adjusting the process value (blue trend graph) to the setpoint value (orange
trend graph).
The slave controller (flow of the heating medium in t/h) has been configurated so
as to regulate exactly without overshoots.

6.2 Process connection

The following instruction describes an option for interconnecting the process
devices using the example of “Level-Control” and shows which of the configuration
of the blocks is required.
NOTE Commissioning requires a Loop check including written proof. Loop checks are
used to check the trends for controller or control signals.
One option of Loop checks is:
A signal is specified on the hardware side and the signal value is checked on the
software side (channel driver in the ES or faceplate in the OS). Checking and
documentation verifies the interconnection in the software and the wiring up to
the process device.
Interconnecting the process device

In order to interconnect a process device with the process tags requires parallel
operation of simulation and real process. The target project needs to be open.
Table 6-6
No. Action
1. Open the CFC chart “LIC_Level” In subchart “B” you make the following
changes:
In channel block “PV” at input parameter “PV_In” you perform an interconnection
with a process device (e.g. filling level measuring transmitter).
Note:
Channel block “MV” in the second sheet is not interconnected, since the control
of the manipulated variable occurs through the valve process tag. Deactivation of
the simulation causes an error at the “Bad” output of channel block “MV” and
subsequently the interlocking of the controller.
2. Open the CFC chart “LIC_Level”. In subchart “B” you make the following
changes:
In channel block “PV” at input parameter “PV_In” you perform an interconnection
with a process device (e.g. filling level measuring transmitter).
Note:
The additional interconnection is used for comparing the process value (filling
level measuring transmitter) with the simulation value.
3. Open the CFC chart “YC_OutletValve”. In subchart “B” you make the following
changes:
In channel block “Rbk” at input parameter “PV_In” you perform an
interconnection with a process device (e.g. feedback signal from manipulated
variable).
4. Compile and download the blocks and charts.
NOTE At channel blocks “Pcs7AnIn” and “Pcs7AnOu” it is specified via the “Mode” input
parameter in which form the process value (raw value) is present and to be
processed.
Equipment Modules
Entry-ID: 53843373, V2.2, 04/2014 137
The following procedure illustrates an option for the startup process. Compare the
local process behavior with the process behavior of the equipment module and
adjust, if necessary, the simulation and the configuration of the equipment module.
CAUTION Move the simulation into a process-oriented and stable state in order to
prevent unexpected process jumps when changing from simulation to the
real process connection. Typically, all controllers should be in manual
mode when switching from simulation to real measured values. Due to the
adjustment of the setpoint to the actual value during manual mode a
subsequent bumpless switchover from manual to automatic mode can be
performed.
Table 6-7
No. Action
1. Open CFC chart “LIC_Level” and “LI_Level”. Activate the test mode for the “PV”
channel blocks (subchart “B”, sheet 1) so the connections become visible.
2. Adopt the configuration of the “Mode” input parameter from the “PV” channel
driver of the “LIC_Level” controller process tag to channel driver “PV” of the
“LI_Level” measured value display for the process tag.
Note:
The process value of the process device is output correctly at the channel driver
output (equal mode for processing the process value (raw value), as configured
in the controller process tag).
3. Adjust the simulation value to the process value by specifying a new setpoint
value in the OS. Wait until the specified setpoint value has been reached.
Equipment Modules
Entry-ID: 53843373, V2.2, 04/2014 138
No. Action
4. Deactivate the simulation by specifying the value “0” at simulation block “Sim” at
Note:
If the simulation value deviates from the process value, the controller tries to
compensate, which leads to an undesired change of the manipulated value.
5. Open the CFC chart “YC_OutletValve” and activate the test mode.
6. Deactivate the simulation by specifying the value “0” at simulation block “Sim”
(subchart “B”, sheet 1) at input “Sim1Act0p”.
Note:
Using an operator control block in the controller process tag and interconnecting
with the simulation blocks of controller process tag and valve process tag
enables deactivating the simulation in one step.
NOTE The universal tool SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) for configuration,
settings, commissioning, diagnosis and maintenance can be used for monitoring
the process value of a process device.

Entry-ID: 53843373, V2.2, 04/2014 139
6.3 Configuration of the PID controllers

For the configuration of the PID controllers the program “PID Tuner” is available.
This program determines the optimal PID parameters for the connected controlled
section. The following instruction describes the general procedure at the example
of the PID controller in the CFC chart “LIC_Level”.
NOTE A practical example for the operation is shown in the document “PID Control with
Gain Scheduling and PID Tuning”
Requirements
 The controller is connected to the process or the simulation.
 The automation program is compiled and downloaded.
NOTICE An intervention in the plant process occurs through optimization. You have
to be aware of the consequences this might have.
Continuously monitor the process at the trend plotter during optimization.
Selecting the amplitude of the trigger

 Choose the jump height large enough to prompt a process response which
clearly stands out from the measurement noise of the signals.
 Choose the jump height small enough to ensure, that the process is not
endangered and the product quality is not affected more than necessary.
 For non-linear processes you perform the trigger at the operating point at
which the controller shall work. Choose the jump height small enough to record
the approximate linear response in the surroundings of this operating point.
NOTE Coordinate all planned attempts (controller optimization) with the member of staff
responsible for operation.
Settings at the block

The “PID Tuner” program is always executed on the Engineering Station (ES).
Since the operator control and monitoring station (OS) and the ES normally do not
run on the same computer, a coordination of the users is offered by the PCS 7
system. The enable is given in the operator screen of the controller (View >
Parameter). This enable gives the engineering system (PID Tuner) the right to
actively interfere with the process. During optimization the respective operating
options on the OS are blocked.
To be able to use the “PID-Tuner” program, value “1” must be pending at the
“OptimEn” input of the “PIDConL” block. If you wish to set this input in ES, execute
Equipment Modules
Entry-ID: 53843373, V2.2, 04/2014 140

10.5 Block description "pHTitrBlock"

This block is used for the conversion of pH values into concentration differences.
This is effected by entering some process-specific characteristics of the titration
curve in the form of parameters for the pH amplitude and buffer effect (α). The
titration curve describes the correlation between the pH value and the
+ + -
concentration difference between H (or H3O ) ions (acid) and OH ions (lye) in the
solution. For a given combination of chemicals, it can be determined experimentally
by adding an acid or caustic solution (neutralizer) in small steps. After each small
dose the solution is mixed and after a while, when the neutralization reaction has
become effective, the new pH value is noted down.
For the equipment modules for pH value regulation, the following trigonometric
function is used as an approximation of the titration profile:
2 pH ampl  c 
pH  7  arctan 6 
  10 
The pH values are then converted into concentration differences by inverting this
characteristic profile:
  
c 

tan  pH  7 10 6
  2 pH ampl 
Note Conversion is performed in the following two blocks which are part of
"pHTitrBlock" included in the master data library:
 FB1025 "Titr_pH" for conversion from concentration difference

 pH value
 FB1026 "TitrDeltaC" for conversion from pH value 
concentration difference

In this titration curve diagram, the neutral zone is given at pH 7 with a maximum
deflection (amplitude) of 5. The slope of the characteristic curve in the neutral point
(parameter α) shows typical values between 3500 and 12000.
NOTICE Precondition for use in a productive process environment is the knowledge

of the titration curve parameters which must be entered in the block. These
parameters include:
 the amplitude range to be processed pHampl on the pH value scale
 the buffer parameter α (alfa) as a measure for the slope of the curve
in the neutral point

NOTE The output variable of the controller (conceptually a "concentration") is multiplied

with the (normalized) inflow quantity of the wastewater (component) in order to
calculate a unit for the required amount of neutralizer. If the setpoint limitation in
the controller were constant, the control range of the dosing valve would be fully
utilized only at maximum wastewater throughput. This problem is solved by a
dynamic interconnection of MV1HiLim in dependence of the inflow quantity
(feed).

10.6 Block description "SimpHTitr"

This block is used to calculate a ph value on the basis of process-specific
characteristics such as the titration curve of the process, inflow volumes (feed) and
the pH value of the component and neutralizer. The titration curve describes the
connection between the pH value and the concentration difference of the
neutralizer added.

pH STRUCT pH simulation value
->Real
->Byte
Calculation of the pH value is performed in the following steps:

1. Determine the products (multiplication) from the concentration differences, the
component inflow volumes and the neutralizing agent
2. Determine the total feed volume
3. Calculate the factor (relative concentration difference) from the products and
the total feed volume
4. Convert the concentration difference into the actual pH value
Simulation offers to adjust both the process-specific characteristic values of the

titration curve, as well as the effect of the values for disturbance variable
compensation (by changing the pH value of the components by ± 1) and the

variable feed rates (changing the feed volume by ±500 mol/L).
