2.0 CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW

Configuration enables a user to select function blocks, stored in the controller, from an available list and enter
appropriate block parameters to implement a specific control strategy. Although configuration affects the entire
station, the controller partitions related control implementations into LOOPS. A maximum of 99 loops can be
configured and 25 can have operator displays that are mapped to network communications
Each LOOP can contain the function blocks listed in the following paragraphs. Signals can be connected between
function blocks within the LOOP as well as between loops. Also, there are several STATION function blocks that
are fixed and available in the STATION menu for setting station related values.
Section 3 fully describes all available function blocks. For tuning guidelines refer to Section 9.2 Autotune
Procedure or request AM-35 Digital Controller Tuning.
This User's Manual includes the functionality provided by MPU Controller Board
firmware Versions 1.3 and 2.0 through 2.40. These enhancements appear mainly in
Sections 2 and 3. They are identified by the phrase "in version 1.3 and higher" or simply
"V1.3" or "V2.4" in text.

2.1 STATION FUNCTION BLOCKS

Function blocks that are permanent and accessible at the STATION menu level:
FCO LIB............Factory Configured Options Library
STATN...............Station Parameters
SECUR ..............Security
CLOCK .............real time CLOCK (requires firmware V2.2 or higher and RTC/CB board
ETHERNET......Ethernet Communications (requires firmware 2.4 and Ethernet board)

2.2 STATION HARDWARE I/O BLOCKS

Function blocks that are available during configuration depend on the hardware installed in the controller. These
blocks can be selected within a LOOP but as fixed resources, once selected, are no longer available. The left
column shows the minimum and maximum quantities of each block and the right column shows the quantity for

each circuit board.
AIN1-4 .............Analog Input...................................MPU Controller Board (3), I/O Expander Board (1)
AINU1-2 ............Analog Input, Universal .................I/O Expander Board (2)
AOUT1-3 ...........Analog Output................................MPU Controller Board (2), I/O Expander Board (1)
DIN1-4 ..............Digital Input ...................................MPU Controller Board (3), I/O Expander Board (1)
DINU1-2 ............Digital Input, Universal ..................I/O Expander Board (2)
DOUT1-2 ...........Digital Output.................................MPU Controller Board (2)
ROUT1-2 ...........Relay Output ..................................I/O Expander Board (2)

2.3 LOOP FUNCTION BLOCKS

The following blocks are available as needed within each loop in the quantities indicated (the quantity is one if no
number is shown). Some blocks (e.g. A/M, BIAS) can be used only once within each LOOP. Others (e.g. ADD)
are reusable within a LOOP and can be used up to the maximum number indicated. Each time a reusable block is
selected within a LOOP, a new instance number will automatically be assigned (i.e. ADD01, ADD02). Each LOOP
can have one operator display block (i.e. ODC or ODS). The display block defines how the loop will be displayed

Subject to available memory in the controller.

Model 352Plus only: Although these blocks can be selected in configuration, some may not have physical connections to the rear terminals
depending upon the positioning of the Option 3 I/O Jumper.
