Function
General Function description
Module Type C_ROUTE is a module for the selection of transport directions within a group.
The route module allows the visualization of the operational conditions for a transport direction
within group, displayed as a status display, and a detailed fault diagnosis (status call).
Using routes the start/stop command from the group is not directly given to the drives, it is
connected to the routes and the selected route forwards the signal to the drive.
The feedback signal of the drives is also connected to the routes and the selected route
transmits the feedback signal to the group.
Linking the drives and annunciation blocks to the route instead of the group also allows filtering
for diagnosis functions:
§ The summarizing fault and warning indications in the group block icon only considers
the drives and annunciations which belong to "selected" routes. The operator is not
disturbed by plant objects which are not "in use".
§ The status call of the group only shows the faults for selected plant objects.
§ The group instance list shows the routes and in the second level the drives and
annunciations within each route.
All diagnosis functions such as summarizing fault and warning indications, status call function
and instance list are also available for the route itself. This means that diagnosis is possible also
if the route is not yet selected:
§ With a route status call function (Button 'Status'), all the present faults and interlocks of
the affiliated drives, measured values and process signals in this route can be queried at
anytime.
§ The route instance list (Button 'Objects') shows all objects (drives, annunciations,
measures), belonging to the route. All objects are shown with "Actual status",
"Tagname" and "Comment". In case of an active "Simulation" the object is highlighted
with red color.
The route selection must be carried out before the group start.
The route can be selected and deselected via the Operator faceplate or through the program,
e. g. by a process signal.
The route module generates operating messages for selection and de-selection.
Interlocks can be used in order to enable or disable the route selection or operation dependent
on a process condition or a process signal:
- Start interlock WEVG or IntStart effective only before the route selection
- Operating interlock WBVG or IntOper always effective
- The manual Interlock WHVR or IntManu enables the selection/ de-selection buttons
Visualization
In the block icon of the group the most important operation status are displayed:
Locked : Selection changeover released or locked (manual interlocking).
Operation mode: Operational condition of the route (deselected, pre-selected, etc.)
Fault: Fault in an object that is assigned to the route
Warning: Warning in an object that is assigned to the route
Interlocking: Interlock of the route
Operation functions and detail information are only available after opening the faceplate.

Operating principle
Hardware inputs
WVT Pre-selection ON/OFF Pushbutton Basic state 0-signal
Format BOOL
If the route is to be selected/deselected using a conventional control desk key, the WVT
parameter must be connected with the input signal of the pushbutton. A 1-signal at WVT
parameter results in selection when the route has been deselected and in de-selection when the
route has been pre-selected. Two-handed operation is needed to pre-select/deselect the route
using control desk pushbuttons. WVT and the FGS release pushbutton must be pressed
simultaneously.
! Caution: The control desk pushbutton can be used only when the GPTS interface (control
desk pushbutton release) is connected with a 1-signal and in the system chard "SYSPLCxx" the
parameter "FGS" of the block C_PUSHBT is connected with a signal (release button).

Input interfaces
WEVG Start interlock Basic state 1-signal
Format BOOL
A 0-signal at interface WEVG prevents the setting of route selection WVW. Via interface WEVG
one can interlock mutually several routes.
The start interlock is visualized in the status display of the routes. If one wants to see the reason
for the interlock in the status call of the route, one must program an annunciation module and
assign it to the route (see engineering manual: interlock annunciations).

Caution: If the interface is to behave exactly like a drive fault one must ensure that the
! interface becomes 0 after the acknowledgement.

Route C_ROUTE Reference Manual Objects
A drive can be linked to two groups or routes via GR_LINK1 and GR_LINK2. If a drive belongs
to more than two groups or routes the additional block C_MUX must be inserted, which provides
5 additional link interfaces.
Caution: 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 drive faceplate.
If objects belong to more than 2 routes or groups, the C_MUX module must be called before the
associated object (drive, annunciation module, measured value). C_MUX has five inputs
(GR_LINK1 to GR_LINK5) for connection with the groups/routes and one output (MUX_OUT)
for the connection with the MUX_LINK interface of the drive.

Reference Manual Objects Route C_ROUTE
This facility permits the objects to be assigned to a maximum of 7 groups/routes. If this also
does not suffice, further C_MUX modules must be switched in sequence.

Caution: Observe the processing sequence! The C_MUX module must be called before the
! drive. For the other modules the run sequence is as follows: first the drives, then the associated
routes and finally the associated groups.
Caution: 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.

Process values
The process values can be set during engineering and they can be changed online from the
OS. To permit the modification of the process values from the faceplates, they must not be
connected in the CFC.
Output interfaces
WBE Command ON
Format BOOL
With a 1-signal at interface WEBW the route generates signal WBE.
For this, the route must be selected (WVW and WVE be set) and operating interlock WBVG
must have a 1-signal.
Signal WBE is mainly used for starting the drives.
WRE Feedback ON
Format BOOL
Signal WRE has status 1 if the route runs completely i.e. if interface WREZ of the route is
connected with 1-signal.
The WRE-signal is applied to connect to the group feedback ON.

Hardware outputs
WVL Route pre-selection lamp
Format BOOL
The WVL signal can be applied to connect a control desk lamp (when no visualization system is
present). A continuous light indicates the pre-selection of the route. A flashing light indicates an
interlock or a fault. A 0-signal indicates that the route has been deselected.

Time characteristics
The module must be called after the associated objects and before the associated group.
Message characteristics
The module uses the ALARM_8 module to generate annunciations.
A plausibility and priority logic at the process level analyses all object faults
only one fault annunciation is issued for each fault
secondary annunciations are suppressed automatically
the fault source is recorded in detail and uniquely.
The current operational state of the plant objects is automatically taken into consideration during
the fault analysis, e.g. all fault annunciations are suppressed automatically for a stationary
group
no superfluous fault annunciations are created
the operator does not need to manually disable/suppress any annunciations.
Refer to the Variable details for the assignment of the annunciation text and annunciation class
to the module parameters.
