Consumer
Objects
Common data
• Control
Point of Control
Consumer objects have 4 different Point of Control POC:
• SEQuence
• CENtral
• LOCal
• Out of Service.

The point of control defines the source, location from where the object will be controlled
Consumer
Objects
Common data
• Control
• Sequence:
The object is controlled from a superior application program e.g. from a drive group sequence.
Sequence mode can be set from the operator station or by the application program.

• Central:
The object is controlled from the operator station by means of the start/stop or open/close push
buttons on the faceplate.

• Local:
The object is controlled from the field via start/stop or open/close push buttons. The IB, IA and PD
interlocks are de-activated in this POC. The safety interlock IC remains active.
Consumer
Objects
Common data
• Control
Auto Mode:
The object is controlled from a superior application program e.g. from a drive
group sequence. Sequence mode can be set from the operator station or by the
application program.
Consumer Objects (with exception of MOTP and Actuator) can have an additional
Auto Mode enabled per Object which 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 and/or PCC Auto Start (IA =1 and PCC Auto
Start Condition starts the motor, IA=0 or PCC IA_Process 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 by
default changing back to Mode Manual if an Interlock or Trip condition occurs or
the Object receives a Stop command.
Consumer
Objects
Common data
• Control
Maintenance Mode:
An additional mode Maintenance can be available if configured in the Project. In maintenance
mode all interlocks IA and IB will be disabled independent of the configuration in POC Local, and
additionally it is possible to disable IC with the Project Constant DisableICInMaint (default = false).
This Mode is by default restricted to POC Local and is used to allow maintenance works on the
equipment.
Mode Maintenance can be set from the Field or via the faceplate.
Consumer
Objects
Common data
• Control
Simulation Mode:
The group object has the possibility to bet set in simulation mode from the operator station. In this
case, all the consumer and basic objects belonging to it will be forced to simulation mode as well.
Consumer

Alarm & Event list
• Alarm & Event list
All consumer objects in the Minerals library are able to provide a list of alarms and events.
Consumer
Objects PCC Viewer
(Process Control Connection)
• Viewer Basic Description
• Categorized view of all connected interlocks by type
• The Interlock Conditions are grouped into the releve
• Actual status of interlock condition
• Indication of disabled interlocks and forced/blocked signals
• Signals connected via PCC bus but without any interlock
definition are categorized as unassigned. These Signals will be
indicated on the Graphics but have no influence on Operation.
Consumer
Objects PCC Viewer
(Process Control Connection)
• Error indication and Diagnostics
Besides OPC Quality Bad (shown in the “Quality” Column) it might as well
happen that the Application or PCC Viewer configuration is not correct,
and this will be indicated with “Configuration Error” Message in the right
lower corner as visible in following Figure:

In this case, additional information (log

messages) are available in the
“Diagnostics” dialog available via right-
click context menu in the viewer.
After initial download or after inserting
new object in the control diagram, the
PCC viewer will only indicate the error
message, until the object has been
uploaded (inserted) to the functional
structure with the Uploader Tool.
Consumer
Objects PCC Viewer
(Process Control Connection)
• Uploader Tool
• Program Structure can be read out via OPC Data Connection. Note that this operation reads the Tagnames
transferred via the PCC and GCC Bus and therefore requires both a completed name upload and unique names for all
Control Modules and Function Blocks in order to find the relations between the blocks.
• Functional Structure Upload Tool that is installed together with Minerals Library can be used to automatically create
the structure.
Consumer
Objects PCC Viewer
(Process Control Connection)
• Uploader Tool
Consumer
Objects PCC Viewer
(Process Control Connection)
• Uploader Tool
The Functional Structure Upload consists of a single window divided into four areas.
• Project/Application Selection. Here the Control Application can be selected to limit the upload to its children in
Control Structure only.
• The Tree View shows the differences between the actual Functional Structure and the Control Application Code
as uploaded via OPC. Changes are marked with colors:
• Green: Object is in Application Code but not in Functional Structure
• Yellow: Object is in Functional Structure but not in Application Code
• Gray or Pink: Object Tagname is not found in 800xA or not yet initialized
• White (no color): Object exists in both Application and Functional Structure
• In the Button Area, the Upload can be executed in three Steps:
• Load Objects – this populates the Difference View by reading both the Functional Structure in 800xA and Upload
the OPC Values from the selected Control Structure Objects
• Insert Added Objects – this adds all selected new Objects (green) into Functional Structur
• Delete Obsolete Objects – this removes all selected removed Objects (yellow) from Functional Structure
• The Status Box prints log messages and errors about the upload, the log is also available in the “C:\Users\\
AppData\Local\ABB Minerals Library\Log” folder.
