raP_Dvc_nPos P_nPos (PO) Controls a circular or linear

discrete device with up to 30
positions. The instruction
provides outputs to select an
individual position and
outputs to move toward
increasing positions
(‘clockwise’ for a circular
device) or decreasing
positions (‘counterclockwise’
for a circular device).
Controls and monitors
feedback from a discrete 2-
raP_Dvc_D4SD P_D4SD (PO) state, 3- state, or 4-state
device s, monitoring for fault
conditions. These devices
include multiple-speed
motors or multiple position
valves.
Controls four discrete
outputs and monitors four
discrete feedback inputs.
Each output and input has
configurable states of each
output in the various device
states.
The instruction also monitors
permissive and interlock
conditions; the latter returns
the device to its default
state.

raP_Dvc_VlvMP P_ValveMP (PO) Controls one mix-proof valve

CM_VMX (GEMS) in a variety of modes and
states, and can check
position feedback inputs to
verify that the valve reached
the commanded position. An
alarm can be provided on
failure to reach a target
position.

Download Library AOI(s)
Logix Change Detector
(raP_Dvc_LgxChangeDet) L_ChangeDet Monitors another Logix controller on the
(PO) network and checks for changes that
impact operation. Changes that can be
monitored include downloads, online
edits, I/O forcing , and controller mode
changes.

Logix Controller CPU L_CPU_5x80 Monitors a Logix controller, and

Utilization (PO) (v33) provides information on controller CPU
(raP_Dvc_LgxCPU_5x80) utilization, communication usage,
memory usage, task scan times, and
other information. Data that is provided
by the L_CPU instruction is useful to
diagnose communication or control
responsiveness issues and in tuning the
 performance of control tasks for
optimum controller performance.The
raC_Dvc_LgxCPU_5x80 instruction
can be loaded as part of a control
application and disabled (default) until
needed. The instruction can also be
enabled at a slow update rate for
general controller monitoring. The
update rate can be increased, if
necessary, as directed by a Rockwell
Automation Technical Support
representative to help diagnose
controller performance issues.

Logix Module Status L_ModuleSts Monitors the connection status of one

(raP_Dvc_LgxModuleSts) (PO) module in the I/O configuration tree of
the Logix controller. The instruction
provides an I/O fault signal if the
connection is not ‘running’.
Monitors one redundant pair of Logix
Logix Redundant L_Redun (PO) controllers. The instruction checks
Controller Monitor primary and secondary controller status
(raP_Dvc_LgxRedun) that can affect the ability of the system
to switch to the back-up controller on a
failure of the primary.

Logix Task Monitor Monitors one task running in a Logix

(raP_Dvc_LgxTaskMon) L_TaskMon controller to provide task statistics, such
(PO) as task scan time and overlap count.
The instruction also provides the
following:
Task configuration settings, such
as priority, rate, and watchdog
timer setting
Task ‘plan’ execution time
Alarm if the planned execution
time is exceeded

Maintenance commands are provided

for clearing the maximum execution
time and the overlap count.

(raP_Opr_EPGen) are
designed to work with the
raP_Tec_ParRpt instruction.

raP_Opr_Unit UNIT (GEMS) Controls a Unit in a variety of

command sources and
monitors for fault conditions.

raP_Opr_Prompt Prompt (GEMS) Acts as a mechanism for

P_Prompt (PO) operator interaction that can
be used within a control
scheme. The instruction
presents an operator with
configurable message or
data fields and accepts
operator response data and
confirmation.

Process Extended Alarms Extended Alarms Monitors one input condition

(raP_Opr_ExtddAlm) (GEMS) and provides one
configurable Alarm. The
Alarm is provided as a Logix
Tag Based Alarm. Use
<InstanceTag>.@Alarms
members for access.

Organization

Organization is a method by which parent / child relationships can be created and modified among control objects. Organization provides a method to
propagate a selected subset of commands (related to command source, alarms, etc.) from the parent down to its children or propagate the aggregate of a
selected subset of status (related to command source, alarms, etc.) from the children up to the parent.

Corrected Anomalies
This release corrects the following anomalies.

Process Library Components Release 5.00.01

Known Anomaly First Identified as of Process Library Release 5.0

Corrected anomaly with Software Version 5.00.01

AOI: raP_Dvc_D4SD

Logic for the raP_Dvc_D4SD add-on instruction was modified to

1) de-energize device outputs on power-up

2) keep the horn output de-energized when in Virtual operation, and

3) provide the correct indication of SrcQ = 2 when feedback inputs are set to NOT be checked

UDT: raP_UDT_Opr_Bus

The datatype of the Cfg_CnfrmReqd member of the raP_UDT_Opr_Bus UDT was changed from BOOL to SINT. The following instructions which reference
the modified UDT were up-revved to indicate the change, even though no logic in them was changed as a result of the UDT modification: raP_Opr_Area;
raP_Opr_EMGen; raP_Opr_EPGen; raP_Opr_OrgScan; raP_Opr_OrgView; raP_Opr_Unit

AOI: raP_Opr_OrgScan

Logic for the raP_Opr_OrgScan add-on instruction was modified to check for the appropriate range of the Inp_NodeSelected parameter.

AOI: raP_Opr_OrgView

Logic for the raP_Opr_OrgView add-on instruction was modified to limit the refresh loop if there is a decrement past the top node of the view.

AOIs: raP_Opr_Prompt, raP_Opr_Prompt_Core

Logic for the raP_Opr_Prompt_Core add-on instruction was changed to check for a prompt reference change while Inp_Req = 1. Because the
raP_Opr_Prompt add-on instruction depends on raP_Opr_Prompt_Core, it was up-revved to indicate the change, even though no logic in raP_Opr_Prompt
was changed as a result.

PlantPAx Configuration Tools

Software code updated to correctly add AE tags to alarm groups when the merge Logical organizer is used.

PlantPAx Migration Tool

L_ModuleSts tags are converted to raP_Dvc_LgxModuleSts tags, and L_ChangeDet tags are converted to raP_Dvc_LgxChangeDet tags when migrating to
Process Library Version 5. The raP_Dvc_LgxModuleSts data type and raP_Dvc_LgxChangeDet data type both have tag-based alarm definitions. The
migrated tag instances are missing the tag-based alarms. Downloading a controller with missing alarm tag instances result in controller fault when placed in
Run mode.

This problem occurred for migrating data types where the old data type did not have alarms and the new data type has tag-based alarm definitions. Code
updated to add tag-based alarms for all migrated data types having alarm definitions.

PlantPAx Migration Tool

Updated code to check for UDT elements and update UDT definition if element data types are changed.

HMI: raP_Opr_OrgView

The display shutdown command in the OrgView Selection display "(raP-5_00-SE) raP_Opr_OrgView-Select.gfx" referenced the wrong display name.
Corrected the display name in the Shutdown command.

The tool-tips on the edit toggle control in the display "(raP-5_00-SE) raP_Opr_OrgView-TreeView.gfx" were not correct. Corrected the tool-tip text

The security on the tree node Edit mode buttons was inconsistently applied. Changed the security on the edit buttons to "ConfigDeviceBehavior" and
"Advanced" in the global object file "(raP-5-SE) Toolbox - Organization Objects.ggfx"

There were misspellings in the remarks for Cfg_StsMask.12,.13,.14, and .16 on the HMI tab for the word "placed" and Cfg_CmdMask.17 on the Engineering
tab for the word "Maintenance". Corrected the misspellings in the display "(raP-5_00-SE) raP_Opr_OrgView-Config.gfx"
HMI: raP_UDT_Opr_Bus

Added the prompt active indicator to the generic bus faceplate "(raP-5_00-SE) raP_UDT_Opr_Bus-Faceplate.gfx"

HMI: raP_dvc_D4SD

Added the device name to the confirmation header and modified the dialog box text to follow the standards. Changed were made to the global object file "
(raP-5-SE) Toolbox - Misc Objects.ggfx"

HMI: raP_dvc_nPos

Added the device name to the confirmation header and modified the dialog box text to follow the standards. Changed were made to the global object file "
(raP-5-SE) Toolbox - Misc Objects.ggfx"

HMI: raP_Tec_ParRpt

The security on the enumeration configuration in the list display was not correctly configured. The security was tied to the button, not the enabled group,
causing the object to appear enabled when it was not. Moved the security visibility expression from the button to the Enabled group in the global object file "
(raP-5-SE) Toolbox - Equipment Objects.ggfx"

The word "enumeration" was misspelled on the tool-tip on the navigation configuration button for the enumeration data type on the Parameter/ Report
configuration display, this was corrected.

HMI: PPID

Corrected the misspelling of the word "Independent" in the display "(raP-5_00-SE) PPID-Advanced.gfx"

HMI: PPTC

Corrected the misspelling of the word "Calculation" in the display "(raP-5_00-SE) PPTC-Advanced.gfx"

HMI: Template Applications

The template application had pre-release versions of the macros used for the TreeView displays. These were updated.

Added the missing images ShadeCover, Cmd_SilenceHorn, Cmd_SilenceHorn_disa to the template application

HMI: raP_Dvc_LgxModuleSts

Corrected the tag references for the graphic symbol "raP_Dvc_LgxRedun" and Updated the tag references in the global object file "(raP-5-SE) Graphic
Symbols - raP_Dvc_LgxModuleSts.ggfx"

The checkbox label and remark for the configuration tag Cfg_AllowXCmdSwtchover did not have the correct text. The text referened "Maintenance" instead
of "External" Changed "Maintenance" to "External" in the checkbox label and remark on the display "(raP-5-SE) Graphic Symbols - raP_Dvc_LgxRedun.ggfx"

Control Strategies

These four configuration bits, which have default values of 1 in the device and PCMDSRC instruction definitions, have values of zero in the imported Control
Strategy:

• Cfg_HasOper

• Cfg_HasProg

• Cfg_HasOperLocked

• Cfg_HasProgLocked

When these bits are all zero, the PCMDSRC instruction sets Cfg_HasOper to 1 if the “normal” command source is Operator (default), or sets Cfg_HasProg
to 1 if the “normal” command source is Program. Since only one of the four configuration bits is 1, the other selections essentially do not exist, and their
buttons on the Command Source Popup are made not visible.
