Function 1
Type/Number

Module name: C_ADAPT

Module no.: FB1018

Calling OBs
All CEMAT Functions must be installed in the same OB, which is preferable OB1. The System
Chart SYSPLCxx contains infrastructure blocks which must be called at the Beginning
(Runtime group OB1_START) and at the End (Runtime group OB1_END) of this OB.
The application program must be called between OB1_START and OB1_END.
Calling of the CEMAT blocks in a cyclic interrupt OB (OB34 or OB35) is possible, but only if the
complete program is called in the same cyclic interrupt OB. In this case the infrastructure blocks
must as well be moved to the cyclic interrupt OB (see Engineering Manual chapter Tips&Tricks)

Function
1.1 General Function description

1.1 General Function description

Via C_ADAPT non-CEMAT modules can be connected to CEMAT groups and routes.
In case of faults or warnings of the non-CEMAT module, this information is displayed in the
collective display for group / route.
In the Group Instance list the non-CEMAT module is displayed. With a double-click on the non-
CEMAT module the faceplate is opened.
For more details the non-CEMAT block must have a status word, providing the information
"Device running", "Fault", "Warning" and individual fault/warning definitions. This information
can be seen in the status display and in the status call function of the group.
The status word of the non-CEMAT block must be defined in a configuration file, which has to
follow a certain structure and must be located under D:\CEMAT_CS\Config.
The Group instance list shows the status:
● Device stopped (white)
● Device running (green)
● Device summarizing fault (red)
● Device summarizing warning (yellow)
In case of a fault or warning, the Status call function shows each individual fault/warning with
Tag and Comment from the non-CEMAT block and with the fault/warning text, defined in the
config file.

2.1 Input interfaces

DUMMY

DUMMY Dummy Pointer

Format POINTER
This input is not visible and it is not allowed to link this input. The input DUMMY will only be used
for internal functions!

Fault

Fault Fault
Format POINTER
This input must be connected with an output of the non-CEMAT module. The output of the non-
CEMAT module must have the 1-Signal for a fault.

Note
Only FBs with an instance-DB can be interconnected.

DynFlt (FT_NACK)

DynFlt fault (not acknowledged) Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
When the non-CEMAT module has an output that indicates 1-Signal for a non-acknowledged
fault, you can connect this output with DynFlt.
For 1-Signal at DynFlt, a red flashing light indicates a started group / route.

Warning

Warning Warning
Format POINTER
This input must be connected with an output of the non-CEMAT module. The output of the non-
CEMAT module must have the 1-Signal for a warning.

Note
Only FBs with an instance-DB can be interconnected.

DynWarn

DynWarn Warning not acknowledged Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
When the non-CEMAT module has an output that indicates 1-signal for a non-acknowledged
warning, you can connect this output with DynWarn.
For 1-Signal at DynWarn, a yellow flashing light indicates a started group / route.

GrFltLck (AMZS)

GrFltLck 1 = don't include in group summarizing ind Basic state 0-Signal

Format BOOL
A 1-signal on GrFltLck prevents that the dynamic and static fault is passed to the group. In
the status call the fault/warning of the non-CEMAT block can still be seen. This can be useful
in case of selections. If the device is not selected it is not considered for the summarizing
indications of the group.

GrStaLck (GFSO)

GrStaLck 1 = don't incl. in group sum. ind.+status call Basic state 0-Signal
Format BOOL
1-Signal at GrStaLck completely deselects the non-CEMAT block for the Group Summarizing
fault and for the Group Status Call.
The function is similar to interface GrFltLck but the device is excluded from status call as
well.

2.2 Group and Object links

2.2 Group and Object links

Group/Route links
Each drive block, annunciation block or measurement block must be linked to a group or route
in order to collect the status of these objects for summarizing indications. In case of a
non‑CEMAT block the device can be linked to the group or route via block C_ADAPT.
The group link is essential for control and diagnosis and comprises the following functions:
● All objects, linked to the group (or route) are listed in the group (or route) object list.
● All objects, linked to the group (or route) are highlighted in the process picture with button
"Show related objects".
● The faults of all objects, linked to the group (or route) are included in the summarizing fault
indication of the group (or route).
● The warnings of all objects, linked to the group (or route) are included in the summarizing
warning indication of the group (or route).
● In case of a dynamic fault during the startup of the group, the group start will be interrupted.
A C_ADAPT block can be linked to two groups or routes via GR_LINK1 and GR_LINK2. If a
device belongs to more than two groups or routes the additional block C_MUX must be
inserted, which provides 5 additional link interfaces.

Note
The main group (or main route) should be connected to GR_LINK1! This is the one which is
opened with a click on button "Main group" in the device faceplate (if existing).

GR_LINK1

GR_LINK1 Link to group or route

Format STRUCT
The GR_LINK1 interface of the drive must be connected with the R_LINK interface of the route
or with the G_LINK interface of the group.

Note
GR_LINK1 must be used for the main group!

GR_LINK2

GR_LINK2 Link to group or route

Format STRUCT
If the drive belongs to two different routes or groups, the GR_LINK2 interface must be con‐
nected with the second route/group.

Structure variables:
GR_LINK2.Link Link Default: 0
Format INTEGER
GR_LINK2.Command Group / Route Command Default: 16#00

MUX_LINK

MUX_LINK Link to C_MUX

Format STRUCT
If the drive belongs to more than two different routes or groups, the C_MUX module must be
series-connected. C_MUX has 5 inputs (GR_LINK1 to GR_LINK5) for connection with the
groups/routes and one output (MUX_OUT) for connection with the MUX_LINK interface of the
drive.

Note
If a C_MUX block is used, the programming order is very important. The C_MUX must be called
before the drive block!
If the same C_MUX block is connected to more than one object (e. g. the drive and
annunciations and measures of the same equipment), it is essential that no different group link
(or C_MUX) is programmed between those objects.

Structure variables:
MUX_LINK.Point_GRL Pointer Default: 0

Note
Check the runtime sequence! The C_MUX module must be called before the drive. For the
other modules the run sequence is as follows: first the drives/devices, then the associated
routes and finally the associated groups.

Note
Some people use one C_MUX block and connect its output to a number of drives/devices,
annunciations and measurements.
If you do so, make sure that the C_MUX is called before all the other objects and that no other
C_MUX call comes in between.
We don't recommend using the same C_MUX if the blocks are located in different runtime
groups.

INST_DB

INST_DB Instance DB for test

Format INTEGER
You may only switch signals to the Fault or Warning input from FBs that have an instance
DB. The C_ADAPT cannot recognize when you interconnect an FC. To allow you in the case
of any problems to test whether the correct module has been interconnected, the C_ADAPT
displays the number of the instance DB.

HIGHLIGH

HIGHLIGH Highlight (mark) symbol

Format BOOL
With faceplate button "R" (Related objects in picture), all objects linked to the group are marked
for the duration of HiLoObjTi. For this time also output HIGHLIGH is set to 1-signal.
If the Non-CEMAT object has a highlight function, this bit can be used in order do highlight this
object through the related group.

Adaptations in the OS 3
No additional parameterization is necessary to permit the display of "non‑CEMAT" modules in
the group "status-call" and in the "object-list".
In this case, only the plant identifier and the comment are displayed (no fault type).
But the "non-CEMAT" module must have the attributes S7_m_c = true. And at least one
parameter must have the attribute S7_m_c = true.

Non CEMAT block with status word

When a non CEMAT block has a status word with defined bits the group status-call can display
several faults in detail.
Status call:

The object list displays the status of the block with several color:
● white = not running
● green =running
● red = fault
Object list:

Adapter C_ADAPT
Function Manual, 07/2016 17
Adaptations in the OS

To get this feature you have to provide a config file for each non CEMAT block type.
The status word of the block must have the attribute S7_m_c = true.

Edit CFG file

Config file for the non CEMAT block
In order to display the non-CEMAT block in the same way as a normal CEMAT, it must have
a status word (16 Bit) or double word (32 Bit) which contains a bit for running, summarizing
fault and for each specific fault type.
Example for the definition of a status word in a non-CEMAT block:

Note
The bits in the config file are counted from 1-32.
Example:
Summarizing fault = FaultBit in Config file = 26

The config file must be located under D:\CEMAT_CS\Config and must be named as follows:
Block name + _ + Language code + .cfg (e. g.: MOTOR_009.cfg)
Together with the Cemat installation you find a block 'SIM_ADAP3' and the corresponding
config file 'SIM_ADAP3_009.cfg'. This config file has the proper format and can be copied,
renamed and modified.
Example of SIM_ADAP3_009.cfg:
