Preface
Use of this Document
This document provides a programmer with details on the P_DoseFM

instruction for a Logix-based controller. You should already be familiar with
how the Logix-based controller stores and processes data.
Novice programmers should read all the details about an instruction before
using the instruction. Experienced programmers can refer to the instruction
information to verify details.

Set and Clear

This manual uses set and clear to define the status of bits (booleans) and values
(non-booleans):

This term:
Means:
Set
The bit is set to 1 (ON)

A value is set to any non-zero number
Clear
The bit is cleared to 0 (OFF)

All the bits in a value are cleared to 0

Preface
Edge and Level

This manual uses Edge and Level to describe how bit (BOOL) Commands,
Settings, Configurations, and Inputs to this instruction are sent by other logic
and processed by this instruction.
Send/Receive Method: Description:
Edge
Action is triggered by "rising edge" transition of input (0-1)

Separate inputs are provided for complementary functions
(such as "enable" and "disable")
Sending logic SETS the bit (writes a 1) to initiate the
action; this instruction CLEARS the bit (to 0) immediately,
then acts on the request, if possible
Ladder Diagram (LD): use conditioned OTL (Latch) to send
Structured Text (ST): use conditional assignment [if
(condition) then bit:=1;] to send
Function Block Diagram (FBD): OREF writes a 1 or 0 every
scan, should use Level, not Edge
Edge-triggering allows multiple senders per Command,
Setting, Configuration, or Input (many-to-one relationship).
Level
Action ("enable") is triggered by input being at a level (in a

state, usually 1)
Opposite action ("disable") is triggered by input being in
opposite state (0)
Sending logic SETS the bit (writes a 1) or CLEARS the bit
(writes a 0); this instruction does not change the bit
LD: use OTE (Energize) to send
ST: use unconditional assignment
[bit:= expression_resulting_in_1_or_0;] or
"if-then-else" logic [if (condition) then bit:= 1; else bit:= 0;]
FBD: use OREF to the input bit
Level triggering allows only one sender to drive each Level
input on the instruction (one-to-one relationship restriction).
IMPORTANT
viii
All Operator Commands (OCmd_) and Maintenance Commands

(MCmd_) are Edge triggered. The HMI graphic object or
Faceplate SETS (writes a 1 to) each Command bit and the
Instruction CLEARS (writes a 0 to) the Command bit, then
performs the function, if possible.
Preface
IMPORTANT
This instruction has Program Commands (PCmd_) which are

selectable as Edge or Level, depending on the Configuration
Parameter Cfg_PCmdClear. If Cfg_PCmdClear is 1 (the default),
all Program Commands are CLEARED when received (edge). If
Cfg_PCmdClear is 0, Program Commands as noted in the
Instruction Data Reference become Level triggered, and
opposite functions are triggered by the primary Program
Command being CLEARED to 0.
Relay Ladder Rung Condition

The controller evaluates ladder instructions based on the rung condition
preceding the instruction (rung-in condition). Based on the rung-in condition
and the instruction, the controller sets the rung condition following the
instruction (rung-out condition), which in turn, affects any subsequent
instruction.
If the rung-in condition to an input instruction is true, the controller evaluates

the instruction and sets the rung-out condition based on the results of the
instruction. If the instruction evaluates to true, the rung-out condition is true;
if the instruction evaluates to false, the rung-out condition is false.
IMPORTANT
The rung-in condition is reflected in the EnableIn parameter and

determines how the system performs each Process Add-On
Instruction. If the EnableIn signal is TRUE, the system performs
the instructions main logic routine. Conversely, if the EnableIn
signal is FALSE, the system performs the instructions
EnableInFalse routine.
The instructions main logic routine sets/clears the EnableOut
parameter, which then determines the rung-out condition. The
EnableInFalse routine cannot set the EnableOut parameter. If
the rung-in condition is FALSE, then the EnableOut parameter
and the rung-out condition will also be FALSE.
ix
Preface
Pre-Scan
During the transition into RUN, the controller performs a Pre-scan before the
first logic scan. Pre-scan is a special scan of all routines in the controller. The
controller scans all main routines and subroutines during Pre-scan, but ignores
jumps that could skip the execution of instructions. The controller executes all
FOR loops and subroutine calls. If a subroutine is called more than once, it is
executed each time it is called. The controller uses Pre-scan instructions to
reset non-retentive data values.
During Pre-scan, input values are not current and outputs are not written. The
following conditions generate Pre-scan:
toggle from Program to Run mode.
automatically enter Run mode from a power-up condition.
Pre-scan does not occur for a program when:
the program becomes scheduled while the controller is running.
the program is unscheduled when the controller enters Run mode.
IMPORTANT
The Pre-scan process performs the Process Add-On Instructions

logic routine as all FALSE and then performs its Pre-scan
routine as TRUE.
Preface
Function Block States

The controller evaluates function block instructions based on the state of
different conditions.
Possible Condition:
Description:
Pre-scan
Pre-scan for function block routines is the same as for relay

ladder routines. The only difference is that the Enableln
parameter for each function block instruction is cleared during
Pre-scan.
Instruction first scan
Instruction first scan refers to the first time an instruction is

executed after Pre-scan. The controller uses instruction first
scan to read current inputs and determine the appropriate
state to be in.
Instruction first run
Instruction first run refers to the first time the instruction

executes with a new instance of a data structure. The
controller uses instruction first run to generate coefficients
and other data stores that do not change for a function block
after initial download.
Every function block instruction also includes EnableIn and EnableOut

parameters.
If the EnableIn parameter is not wired, the instruction always executes as
normal and EnableIn remains set. If you clear EnableIn, it changes to set the
next time the instruction executes.
IMPORTANT
When programming in function block, restrict the range

of engineering units to 1015 because internal floating
point calculations are done using single precision floating
point. Engineering units outside of this range may result in
a loss of accuracy if results approach the limitations of
single precision floating point (1038).

Preface
Entering Text in FactoryTalk View SE

When entering data into String Input fields in FactoryTalk View SE, the data is
not saved to the tag until the user presses the Enter key. When the Input Field
is enabled, its border changes based on the state of the input:
When the Input Field is Active (the cursor is in the field), the Input Field border is a
solid line.
EXAMPLE
If the user modifies the data in the input field and moves to a different field without
pressing the Enter key, the border remains a solid line indicating that the data has not
been saved to the tag.
EXAMPLE
If the data in the Input Field has not changed or has been written to the controller
tag, the border is a dashed line.

Chapter
Overview
The P_DoseFM (Dosing with Flowmeter) Add-On Instruction controls an

ingredient addition which uses a flowmeter to measure the amount of
ingredient added. The flowmeter may be an analog flowmeter (signal
proportional to flow), a pulse generating flowmeter (pulse count proportional
to quantity delivered) or a digital flowmeter providing flow rate or quantity
(totalized flow) information.
Use when:
You want to control basic dosing (ingredient addition) with basic
features such as bulk/dribble rate selection, Preact, automatic Preact
adjustment, and the ability to start, pause and resume flow.
You are measuring the amount of ingredient added using a flowmeter.
The flowmeter can provide an analog flow rate, an analog quantity
(total) or a pulse count with rollover. This instruction is designed to
work well with high-speed counting input cards such as the 1756-HSC
(High Speed Counter) module or the 1756-CFM (Configurable Flow
Meter) module.
Do NOT use when:
You are transferring material using a weigh scale to measure the amount
of material before and after transfer. Use the P_DoseWS (Dosing with
Weigh Scale) Instruction instead.
You need to control precision blending. This instruction does not
include capability for controlled-rate addition such as ratio control,
digital blending or precision blending. Contact your Rockwell
Automation representative for a blending solution.
You only need a totalizer (integrator). Use the built-in TOT instruction
instead.
You may need additional logic when:
You need more complicated sequencing, including special actions when
restarting, aborting or holding an addition. This sort of sequencing is a
good candidate for an Equipment Phase. Equipment Phase logic can
drive the P_DoseFM instruction using its Program Mode commands
and settings.
The equipment requires complicated startup and shutdown logic. You
can provide this logic separately and use the P_DoseFM outputs to
trigger the startup and shutdown of ingredient delivery.

Overview
Functional Description
A typical sequence of Operator Commands and Settings and subsequent

Instruction actions using the P_DoseFM instruction to perform ingredient
dosing in Operator Mode is depicted in the following figure:
Overview
Primary Operations
Chapter 1
The primary operations of the P_DoseFM Instruction are:

Provides Inputs for Rate (flow rate, quantity per time) and Quantity
(total or pulse count).
Provides the ability to use a pulse count as the Quantity PV, with
configurable rollover count.
Provides the ability to totalize the flow Rate PV to determine the
Quantity delivered when the flowmeter provides a Rate signal but no
Quantity. Provides scaling of the Rate analog input from Raw (input
card) to Engineering (display) Units. Reverse scaling (max less than min)
is supported.
Provides the ability to calculate the flow Rate given the Quantity by
differentiating with respect to time when the meter provides a total or
pulse count but no Rate. If the Rate PV is calculated from an input
Quantity, the P_DoseFM instruction uses a first-order (lag) filter on the
calculated Rate PV signal to reduce the impact of jitter, scan time,
quantization error, or input signal noise.
Provides a Low Rate Cutoff function, used to ignore flow rate values
near zero to deal with noise or zero calibration error in the rate signal.
Provides the ability to use a flowmeter with built-in totalizer. Forwards
the totalizer Clear command to the flowmeter and checks that the
flowmeter's total was reset. Once the total is cleared, the instruction
checks for unrequested flow, that is, increase in the delivered total
before flow is actually started, and raises a Zero Fault if such flow
occurs.
Provides outputs to control associated equipment (pumps, valves, etc.)
to start and stop flow. The Operator or the Program may start the
ingredient addition, then pause and resume it if needed.
Monitors the status of controlled equipment (pumps, valves, etc.). Flow
is stopped and an alarm is raised on an equipment fault or if the
equipment fails to respond as commanded.
Monitors Rate and/or Quantity Input communication status and
provides indication of Uncertain or Bad Rate PV or Quantity PV. Flow
is stopped and an alarm is raised on a Bad PV or communication loss.
Provides Program or Operator entry of a Quantity to deliver (setpoint)
and calculates the amount remaining to deliver and percent complete
during delivery.
Chapter 1
Overview
Provides Program or Operator entry of High and Low Tolerance limits.

Allows the Program or Operator to initiate a Tolerance Check after
delivery is complete. Provides a warning if under tolerance and allows
the Operator to bump the flow to make up the shortage. The bump
can be set up as a timed bump or as an operator jog-like function.
Provides an alarm if over tolerance and inhibits further flow.
Includes the ability to automatically switch to a lower dribble flow rate
as the quantity delivered approaches setpoint. Provides Operator or
Program entry of the Dribble Quantity. Provides run, dribble and
stop outputs to controlled equipment.
Uses a Preact value to stop flow to account for material in the pipe, time
for equipment to stop, and delays in measurement, scan,
communication, etc., Provides Operator or Program entry of the Preact
value. Provides an optional automatic Preact correction based on the
error in delivery when tolerance is checked. The auto correction allows
the Preact to learn the correct value over time.
Uses the standard Mode (P_Mode) Instruction to provide Mode
(ownership) for entry of settings and acceptance of commands. See the
Operating Modes section for more information.
Overview
Operating Modes
Chapter 1
The P_DoseFM Instruction uses the following standard Modes, implemented

using an embedded P_Mode Add-On Instruction:
Mode
Description
Operator
The Operator can enter settings for Setpoint, Preact, Dribble

Quantity, and High and Low Tolerances. The Operator can clear,
start and stop the totalizer, start and stop (pause) ingredient
flow, initiate the tolerance check, and bump flow if needed after
addition stops at the Preact.
Program
Program logic can set the Setpoint, Preact, Dribble Quantity, and
High and Low Tolerances. Program logic can clear, start and stop
the totalizer, start and stop (pause) ingredient flow and initiate
the tolerance check. The Operator can still bump flow if needed
after addition stops at the Preact.
Maintenance
Identical to Operator Mode, except for Mode priority rules:

Program cannot acquire away from Maintenance, but
Program can acquire away from Operator if Operator Mode is
not locked.
Operator cannot acquire away from Program if Program Mode
is locked, but Maintenance can acquire away from Program
at any time.
The Hand and Override (Ovrd) Modes are not used. (These Modes are
typically used by the controlled equipment.)
Refer to the Process Add-On Instructions and Graphics: Mode (P_Mode)
Reference Manual, publication SYSLIB-RM005, for more information.
Alarms
The P_DoseFM Instruction uses the following alarms, implemented using

embedded P_Alarm Add-On Instructions:
Alarm
Description
Over Tolerance
Raised when Tolerance Check is performed if the quantity delivered

exceeds the setpoint by more than the high tolerance limit.
Under Tolerance
(warning)
Raised when the Tolerance check is performed if the quantity

delivered falls short of the setpoint by more than the low tolerance
limit.
Equipment Fault
Raised if the controlled equipment asserts the Inp_CtrldEqpFault

input or if the equipment feedback signals fail to track the
commanded state of the equipment. If configured as a shed fault,
this also stops flow if it is running.
Zero Fault
Raised if the scale is tared and then drifts away from the tare
weight before the start flow command is received.

Overview
Revision Compatibility
Chapter 1
The P_DoseFM Add-On Instruction in RSLogix 5000 software and the

Faceplate in FactoryTalk View software are marked with revision information
as shown in the following table:.
Component
Example
The Add-On Instruction in RSLogix 5000 has

revision information visible when the
instruction is selected in the Controller
Organizer.
The Faceplate in FactoryTalk View has

revision information visible when the
pointer is paused just inside the lower
left-hand corner of the Faceplate when
called up on a running HMI Client.
The Instruction and Faceplate are compatible if they have the same Major and
Minor Revision numbers.
The Major Revision is the first number, before the period.
The Minor Revision is the second number, after the period and before the
hyphen or space.
Information after the hyphen or space indicates the Tweak Revision. The
Instruction and Faceplate do not have to have the same Tweak Revision to be
compatible.
In the table above, the Add-On Instruction and Faceplate shown are
compatible because they have the same Major.Minor (1.1).

Maintenance
Set this parameter to the Time

Constant to be used in filtering
the Val_Rate signal generated
when calculating rate from the
Inp_QtyPV quantity input.
Cfg_CalcRate
Inp_QtyPV
Val_Rate
The filter helps eliminate jitter in

the calculated rate caused by
uneven and/or asynchronous I/O
updates and program scans.
Increasing the Time Constant
removes more noise from the
signal but makes its response
slower. A value of 0.0 disables
the filter and the instantaneous
quantity rate-of-change is
reported.
Cfg_RateTime
18
1.0 sec
Engineering
This parameter is the time base

for the rate to quantity integrator
(totalizer) and the quantity to
rate differentator (rate of
change). Enter the number of
seconds in the denominator
(per) of the rate units of
measure. For example, if the
flow is in Gallons per Minute,
enter 60.0 (seconds in a minute).
If the flow is in Barrels per Day,
enter 86400.0 (seconds in a day).

Cfg_Rollover
0.0 counts
Engineering
If a pulse count is connected to

the quantity Input (Inp_QtyPV),
enter the maximum pulse count,
the number at which the pulse
count wraps around to zero. For
example, if you use the
1756-CFM module and configure
the input channel to provide a
pulse count of 0 to 999,999 then
set this parameter to 999999.0.
Chapter 2
Cfg_CountsPerEU
Inp_QtyPV
Val_Qty
IMPORTANT
This value contains the highest
pulse count value that will be
received (999,999), not the
number of pulses (1,000,000) to
rollover.
IMPORTANT
The Inp_QtyPV Input parameter
is a real number (REAL), not an
integer (DINT), to support meters
that provide a total instead of a
pulse count. A REAL parameter
cannot exactly represent
integers larger than about
8,000,000 (23-bit mantissa).
Avoid using a rollover point
larger than about 4,000,000.
(approximately 2^22).
Cfg_SetTrack

Program Commands
(PCmd_)
Program Command data elements are used by application logic to request

P_DoseFM Instruction actions, such as changing Modes, acknowledging
alarms, or specific P_DoseFM actions. Application logic sets the Program
Command to 1 or 0 to request the action. (See the Edge and Level section in
the Preface for more information). The P_DoseFM Instruction then performs
the requested action if it is in Program Mode and the action can be performed.

Operator Commands and Maintenance Commands are used by the operator at

the HMI to request instruction actions, such as changing modes;
acknowledging, enabling or disabling, suppressing or unsuppressing alarms; or
other instruction-specific actions. These Commands are set (latched) by the
HMI and are read and then cleared (unlatched) and acted upon by the
P_DoseFM instruction, allowing a many-to-one relationship between HMI
requestors and each Command. Commands are implemented as public Input
Parameters of the instruction or as Input Parameters of instructions internal to
the P_DoseFM instruction (embedded Commands").

Security
Required
Percentage of delivery error to

auto-adjust preact (%)
When the delivery tolerance is

checked, if no bump has occurred
and if the delivery is in tolerance,
the error (difference between
delivery setpoint and actual
delivery) is multiplied by this
percentage and applied to the
Preact. This allows the Preact to
"self tune" and learn the correct
valve of the Preact over time.
Code D
Time (in seconds) to Pulse Clear

Output to clear totalizer
Configure the Time (in seconds) to

Pulse the Clear Output to clear an
external totalizer, such as one in
an intelligent flowmeter.
Code D
Duration of flow When bump

button is pressed
Configure the amount of time to

command the controlled
equipment to run flow when the
Bump command button is pressed.
If this value is set to zero, the
Bump button is treated like a Jog:
flow starts when the button is
pressed and stops when the
button is released. If this value is
greater than zero, flow is bumped
for the configured time.
Code D
Time for Equipment Feedback to

follow Output before Fault
If the Equipment Feedback is being Code D

used, the instruction allows this
much time after commanding the
equipment for the equipment
feedback to show the equipment
