2.2 Operation
2.2.1 PCS7 representation of a valve
There are two signals which are communicated between the control system and
the valve:
(a) the command output which requests the valve to open or close
(b) the input or feedback which indicates if the valve is open or closed.
PCS7 Valve
Command Output  Opens and closes the valve
Indicates position of valve  Feedback
These two signals are used to display the status of the valve on a PCS7 graphic.
Feedback or
flashing
Command Output
Note that the command output is always displayed on

(a) the lower part of a vertical valve
(b) the right hand side of a horizontal valve.
The corresponding feedback/flashing will always be displayed on

(a) the upper part of vertical valves
(b) the left hand side of horizontal valves.
When the command output part of the valve is

(a) green, the valve is being requested to open.
(b) grey, the valve is being requested to close.
When the feedback part of the valve is

(a) green, the valve is open (not closed).
(b) grey, the valve is closed.
(c) flashing partial green, the valve is moving to requested state (i.e. opening
or closing)

Clicking on the valve calls up the valve faceplate
A valve can have one of the four positions detailed in the table below:
Status Valve Output Feedback Faceplate
Closed Asking Indicates

valve to valve is
close closed.
Opening Asking Indicates

valve to valve is in
open transit.
Flashing Green on
feedback side.
Opened Asking Indicates

valve to valve is
open open.
Closing Asking Indicates

valve to valve is in
close transit.
Flashing Green on
feedback side.

The following icons give further information on valve.
Block Icon State Comment

Valve in automatic mode and open (A in top left hand corner of valve)
Valve in manual mode and open (M in top left hand corner of valve)
Valve out of service (Valve cannot be opened or closed if out of service)
Valve opening/closing and FAILURE (Valve has failed to open or close)

Valve INTERLOCKED
Valve interlocks BYPASSED
Valve SIMULATED (yellow hand)

2.2.2 Open a valve manually
1. Click on a valve.
The following faceplate will appear.
Mode button
shaded.
The valve can be operated in manual or automatic. (The mode of operation will
normally be automatic.)
The mode is displayed in the box to the right of Mode.
If the mode button (button next to Automatic with three dots) is shaded as above
i.e. not accessible, the valve cannot be put into manual mode. This could be due
to any one of the following reasons:
(a) Some continuous logic has locked the valve in auto
(b) The sequence which controls the valve is active and has locked the valve
in auto.

2. If the mode button (button next to Automatic with three dots) is not shaded, click
on it and the Mode window will appear.
Click on this
button to
change mode
The faceplate will appear as follows:
Mode window – this is

where you change
mode from automatic to
manual and vice versa.

3. Click on Manual, followed by OK.
The valve is now in manual mode and the faceplate appears as follows:
Note that an M is displayed beside the valve.

4. Click on command button (button next to ‘Close’) to open command window.
Click on this
button to
change valve
position
Command window – here is

where you open and close
valves.

5. Click on Open, followed by OK.
PCS7 sends an OPEN output (i.e. digital output from the PCS7 to valve) to the
valve. This energises the solenoid, which supplies air to the actuator mounted on
the valve.
One half of the valve changes to green (command output):
Command Output
Flashes Flashes
Note that the command output is always displayed on the lower part of a vertical
valve and the right hand side of a horizontal valve. The corresponding
feedback/flashing will always be displayed on the upper part of vertical valves
and the left hand side of horizontal valves.
The valve status is ‘opening’ (flashing green/white) until the valve position has
reached the opened limit switch.

When the valve position has moved away from the limit switch, the limit switch is
no longer made (i.e. feedback position is given as open).
The entire valve is now green:
The valve faceplate will now look as follows with a status of opened:

The opening of a valve can be summarised as follows:
Closed Opening Opened
2.2.3 Close a valve manually
The following steps assume that the valve is open and in manual mode.
1. Click on a valve.
The following faceplate will appear:
Click on command button.
Click on this
button to
change valve
position


where you open and close
valves.
2. Click on close, followed by OK.

The control system sends a CLOSE output (i.e. digital output from the PCS7 to
valve) to the valve. This de-energises the solenoid, which removes the air supply
to the actuator mounted on the valve.
One half of the valve changes to grey:
Command Output
Flashes
Flashes

The valve status is ‘closing’ (flashing green/grey) until the valve position has
reached the closed limit switch.
When the valve position has moved towards the limit switch, the limit switch is
made in the fully closed position.
The entire valve is now grey:
The closing of a valve can be summarised as follows:
Open Closing Closed

2.2.4 Valve Interlocks
A valve will display

one of the following
interlock icons:
When a valve is interlocked, a locked lock is displayed beside the valve.
Interlock symbol
To investigate Interlock
1. Click on valve to get more information regarding interlock.
The following faceplate will appear. Click on Interlock (as below) and the
interlock window will pop up.

Interlock Window
Green box indicates

that this condition is
OK.
Grey box indicates that this

condition is NOT OK and is
causing the interlock.
The pink circle next to the grey

box tells us the first condition to
cause interlock if two conditions
are causing interlock.
Conditions which can
cause an interlock
More conditions can

be found here if there
are more than 8
conditions.
2. The cause of the interlock may not be immediately clear but can be traced back
using the arrows on the left hand side of the window.
Click on left arrow for further information
The following window appears, detailing the cause of the safety interlock:

Click on the left arrow again for further information:
LSH on R0720 is
causing interlock
here.
Note:
AND – this means that if any one of the conditions are activated the
valve will interlock
OR – this means that all conditions (both in the case above) need to be
activated to cause an interlock

Further Information on Interlocks
Here are the following states of an interlock:
In addition to the locked lock icon, a small green or white line (as highlighted below) tells
us whether or not the valve is interlocked
Green line White line indicates

has been simulated
in some way.

2.2.5 Valve Simulation
Simulation is primarily used as a tool for commissioning and servicing the plant.
Yellow hand indicates

valve is simulated.
Simulation can be activated as follows:

- Faceplate
- Driver Blocks
The faceplate will appear as follows if the valve is simulated from the faceplate itself.
Simulation from the faceplate does not influence the physical output field signals to the
device. The feedbacks will be simulated to the correct positions. This means the valve
will not open/close if the yellow simulation is box is active.

At the end of this module, the trainee will know
1. What an SFC is.

2. Where to find SFCs.
3. How to put an SFC into manual.
4. How to operate an SFC.

6.2 Sequential Function Charts (SFCs)
6.2.1 What is an SFC?
An SFC is a functional grouping of equipment and devices that execute a specific

processing activity. The following list contains examples of the SFCs on the Hull
PCML PCS7;
- Ash Collection
- Ash Conveying
- APCR Collection
- APCR Conveying
- Sootblowers
Each SFC contains a sequence which carries out the specific processing activity. An
SFC may contain more than one sequence known as control strategies:
e.g. Fuel Chute Level Control SFC has a Level or Time control strategy for
continuous feeding and also a Load Once control strategy for performing a single
load to the hopper. A control strategy must be chosen to execute the SFC.

6.2.2 Where to find SFCs?
The SFC block icons can be found on the relevant graphic page usually grouped
together as shown below.
6.2.3 How to operate SFCs
An example of an SFC will be demonstrated here (Fuel Hopper Level Control). All of the
SFCs are operated in the exact same way.
Using Example 1: Fuel Hopper Level Control
(1) Click anywhere on the SFC block icon to access the controls:

This is an SFC faceplate. The SFC is controlled from here.

1. Message Bar – This contains information about alarms, faults and messages on
the SFC.
2. Status Bar – This is where the status of the SFC will be displayed. If the SFC is
running, the control strategy will also be displayed here. The SFC will be in one of
the following states:
IDLE SFC is not is use but is OK to start running.
HOLD SFC is in hold. The operator or recipe can put the SFC
into hold.
LOCK SFC is locked. This is normally caused by an interlock
on the SFC. SFC cannot be started/resumed until LOCK
is removed.
ERROR SFC is in error. This can be caused by a variety of
things, interlocks, feedback error, instrument failure etc.
If the SFC goes into ERROR while running, the SFC
must be resumed when the error has been identified and
fixed.

RUN SFC is running.
COMP SFC has carried out its control strategy and is now
completing and moving back to IDLE state.
ABOR SFC has been aborted and is carrying out the steps to
abort the SFC.
3. Controls – This is the main operating area of the SFC. You change from Auto to
Manual mode, start, hold, resume, reset, complete, abort and stop the SFC from
here.
4. Information on SFC – This area contains information on what the SFC is doing
e.g. the description of the current step.
5. Message Bar – Any operator message will appear here.
6. Control Strategy – This section contains all the control strategy options. This is
where you can choose a control strategy and setpoints/ramp rate etc.
7. Section – Section is accessable from the drop down menu and contains further
information on the control strategies via a graphical representation of the
sequence. Here you can see the execution of each control strategy (i.e.
sequences used to execute the various control strategies).

(2) Click on manual to put SFC into manual mode. This is in effect a “semi-automatic”
mode which allows sequences to be started and stopped manually from the faceplate.
The following confirmation message will appear. Click OK.

The SFC is now in manual mode and the start button is now visible. This button is
hidden when the SFC is in automatic mode.
(3) A control strategy must be selected (as highlighted above) to operate the SFC.
(4) Once the control strategy has been selected, the SFC can be started by clicking the
start button.
(5) A confirmation message will appear (as below). Click OK.

The SFC is now running and will appear as follows:
SFC (Fuel Chute Level Control) is running and Control Strategy is Level or Timed.
On the graphic the SFC status

has changed from IDLE to RUN.

6.2.4 Troubleshooting SFCs
(1) Check for interlocks on SFC.
(2) If the SFC is running and does not appear to be moving. Check the status of the
SFC using the Section selection from the drop down menu.
Example – Fuel Chute Level Control

This is the sequence being executed for the Level or Timed control strategy. This
will contain the sequence for whichever control strategy is running. The sequence
contains a sequence of steps and transitions to be executed.
