Objects
Common data
• Basic description
The Group Objects provide access and control for a process group or process group related features.
All basic objects have the following common basic functions:
Central:
The object is controlled from the operator station by means of the start/stop buttons on the
faceplate. Depending on configuration the group object can as well be started from a superior
Sequence or the application thru a sequence start, in this case the mode change is done
automatically. Central mode can be set from the operator station only.
Local:
The object is controlled from the field via start/stop push buttons. The IB, IA and PD interlocks are
de-activated in this POC. The safety interlock (IC) remains active.

Common data
• Control
Out of Service:
The object is not in service and cannot be started from any location. It also means that the object
will be skipped when running a superior group sequence.
Auto Mode
The GrpCycleCtrl and DriveGroup can have an additional Auto Mode enabled per Object that allows
to select between two different Object behaviours from the Operator Station or the program:
Man (default):
Object is controlled by start / stop commands either issued from the operator station or from the
superior application program.
Auto:
Object is controlled via input IA (IA =1 starts the motor, IA=0 stops the motor). Typical use of the
auto mode is on/off control via thermostats, sump level switches, etc.
Mode Auto is only possible in POC Sequence or Central, and the Object is changing back to Mode

• Basic description
The Control Module Type GROUP is used to start or stop group members in a sequential order. Next
to the common basic functions for group objects, the following functions are supported:
• Starting / stopping of group members (up to 999 motors, valves etc.) in a sequential order with
Supervision of First Step in Hold, First Step Not Off on Faceplate.
• Summary status indication of all pre-selected members (Ready, run, off)
• Alarming when exceeding maximum start-up / shut-down time
• 1 Safety interlock, 1 Chain Auto interlock, 4 start and 4 stop interlocks
• Emergency quick stop
• Hold function. Interrupts start-up respectively shut-down sequence
• Simulation mode (Analog value, motor feedback….), to simulate feedback signals of all group
members.
• Auto Mode for the Group. The Auto Mode is stopping the group with a sequential Stop with
delay
