Start

Understanding State Machine

Logic, page 23

Understanding State Machine Logic

Starting with Connected Components Accelerator Toolkit Version 2.0
HMI
(CCAT V2), all Micro800 Building Block projects incorporate state
machine logic for coordinating overall machine operation. The state
machine broadcasts commands and receives feedback information
from each of the building blocks via user-modified application
sequence programs (see Chapter 4). Based on the feedback State Machine
information, the state machine reacts accordingly while in Auto mode.
The core of the state machine logic is implemented in the Auto Mode
RA_STATE_MACHINE User-Defined Function Block documented
in Appendix A. Application Sequences Manual Mode

In addition, the state machine provides a high-level interface for an

HMI terminal. While in Auto mode, commands such as Start, Stop,
and Clear Faults are accepted. The state machine also provides status Auto Variables Manual (MAn) Variables
information (for example, Current State) that can be displayed on the Building Block
HMI terminal. Refer to Appendix B for a complete list of state
machine global variables.

Machine
Transitional Permanent Command
State State

The state machine uses the transitional states to move between permanent states. Typically, the machine remains in a
transitional state for a brief period of time. If an error is detected during a transitional state or if a building block fails to
transition within an allotted time (10 seconds by default), the state machine issues an ABORT command. The fail safe
transition timer assures that the overall machine does not become locked in a transitional state. This timer also helps to
provide diagnostic information to determine which module is not transitioning properly.

The following table provides a brief description for each of the default machine states.
Machine State State Type Description
ABORTING Transitional Broadcasts the ABORT command until confirmation that all of the building blocks are aborted. The ABORTING state is triggered based on feedback
from the building blocks. The default ABORT conditions that place the machine into ABORTING state include:
• Power-up detected (in other words, controller first scan
• Building block or blocks not ready while the machine is in a STARTING and/or RUNNING state
• Building block or blocks detected a fault condition
• Building block or blocks failed to RESET
• Building block or blocks failed to START
• Building block or blocks failed to STOP
• Building block or blocks failed to CLEAR
ABORTED Permanent All building blocks are aborted (for example, stopped and disabled). Typically this state indicates a fault condition.
CLEARING Transitional Broadcasts the CLEAR command until confirmation that all of the building blocks are OK (for example, all active drives have been cleared) within
the allotted time, otherwise an ABORT condition is generated. Once all of the building blocks are OK, the machine is placed into the STOPPED
state.
RESETTING Transitional Broadcasts the RESET command until confirmation that all of the building blocks are reset within the allotted time, otherwise an ABORT condition
is generated.
IDLE Permanent All building blocks are reset or ready to run (for example, enabled, homed, and so forth). Typically this is the state that the machine is ready to run
and awaits a START command.
STARTING Transitional Broadcasts the RESET command until confirmation that all of the building blocks are running within the allotted time, otherwise an ABORT
condition is generated.
RUNNING Permanent All building blocks are running.
STOPPING Transitional Broadcasts the STOP command until confirmation that all of the building blocks are stopped within the allotted time, otherwise an ABORT
condition is generated.
STOPPED Permanent All building blocks are stopped and ready.

The Machine Overview screen is the main screen for the PanelView 800 applications supplied with CCAT V2. The screen
indicates which state the state machine is in and if it is faulted or ready. If the current state is aborted, then the reason the
state machine entered the aborted state is indicated.

The following state machine screens are implemented in all CCAT V2 building block PanelView 800 applications.

Incorporate Building Block Examples into the Application Sequence

Programs

This chapter helps you incorporate building block examples into your application sequence programs.

Before You Begin

Create your project file by using the System Design Assistant as described in Chapter 1. Be familiar with the content
presented in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. Complete the integration and validation of each of the individual building blocks
included in your project by referring to the individual building block Quick Start manuals.

Understanding Application Sequence Programs

Starting with Connected Components Accelerator Toolkit Version 2.0 (CCAT V2), all Micro800 Building Block projects
incorporate the same MC_StateMachine program and a set of application sequence programs that together control what
the machine does while in each machine state.

Rockwell Automation Publication CC-QS035B-EN-P - August 2015 27

Chapter 4 Incorporate Building Block Examples into the Application Sequence Programs

Each Connected Components Workbench project produced by CCAT V2, as well as each building-block starting project,
also includes a set of application sequence example programs specific to the building blocks being implemented. These
programs can be used to incorporate the building blocks into the overall machine control. The following figure is an
example of the application sequence example programs included with the PowerFlex 520-Series drives building block.
Notice that the program names start with the sequence program name they are intended for, followed by “Example,” and a
short description of their functionality.

If the examples you need are not included in your project, use the Import function to add them.

Each of these example programs begins with a Return instruction in its first rung, which prevents the rest of the example
program from ever executing. It is your responsibility to review each example and determine how you want to use the
example in the intended sequence program. Following is an example of the process you should go through for each
application sequence.

 Incorporate Building Block Examples into the Application Sequence Programs Chapter 4

1. Compare the provided example against the default App_Stop_Seq program.

2. Modify rungs 1 and 2 in the App_Stop_Seq program to function like the example rungs 2 and 3, assuming you want
the drive to stop when the machine stops.

3. Delete the App_Stop_Seq_Example_PF5_Stop_Drive program, as it is no longer needed.

4. Repeat this general procedure to complete the programming for the Abort, Clear, Reset and Run sequence programs
as well.

 Appendix A

State Machine User-defined Function Block

This appendix describes the state machine user-defined function block and the associated inputs and outputs.

RA_STATE_MACHINE User-defined Function Block

This user-defined function block (UDFB) provides a simple state machine for machine control that issues commands
(start, stop, reset, clear faults, and abort) to and receives feedback information (running, stopped, reset, ready, OK, and
aborted) from each of the building blocks (BBs).
