2 Installing DMCplus for
Honeywell TDC 3000 Software

Follow the instructions in this chapter to install the DMCplus for

Honeywell TDC 3000 software for the first time. Begin with Step 1
and continue through the last step. Each step must be performed
in the order presented. Refer to Chapter 4 in this guide for
information on software upgrade from a previous version.

Step 1: Copy Files to the System

Follow Part A for GUS or APP node installation or Part B for a
Bernoulli installation of only the LCN TDC 3000 components.
The remaining instructions assume you will create a directory
named NET>PLUS. If you create a different directory, you will need
to substitute it for NET>PLUS in the example commands. PLUS will
be shown in Italics to remind you of this requirement.

Part A: Copy files The installation software will optionally download the following
from GUS or APP components on the GUS or APP node:
node • CCF2EB utility
• TDC3KAPPWiz DMCplus Build configuration template
• LCN TDC 3000 components
The CCF2EB utility translates a DMCplus controller configuration
CCF file into an Exception Build (EB) file, which can be used to
create the Honeywell TDC 3000 DMCplus controller interface
points. Refer to Chapter 3 in this guide for additional information.
The TDC3KAPPWiz Build configuration template is required for
DMCplus controller implementation on the TDC 3000 GUS or
APP node. This template replaces the previous TDC3KWIZ Build
configuration template.

 Step 3: Compile and Initialize the
DMCplus for Honeywell TDC 3000
Graphics
The DMCplus for Honeywell TDC 3000 generic graphics must be
compiled from .DS files to .DO files. The compilation must be
done in the picture editor. The compile procedure can be done in
one of two ways:
• Multi-compile
• No multi-compile
Instructions for both follow:

Multi-compile On TDC 3000 systems that support MCOMP (multi-compile), an

.EL file is provided (PLUSCOMP.EL) that aids in compilation. A
typical installation might include the following commands from the
command prompt:
SP NET>PLUS
PE
MCOMP PLUSCOMP
Once the displays are compiled, move the .DO files to a directory
in your schematic search path or add NET>PLUS to the path.

No multi-compile If your system supports MCOMP, skip the remainder of this

section. On systems that do not support the MCOMP option from
the picture editor, the graphics will have to be loaded and compiled
individually. All of the following graphics should be compiled:
CHG_ZONE
PLUSMSTR
PLUSMV
PLUSCV
PPMIBLD1
PPMDBLD1
MVOVRLY1
CVOVRLY1
PLUSMSG
SRV_SUB1
SRV_SUB2
PLUSMVD
PLUSCVD

DMCplus for Honeywell TDC 3000 Version 1.11 Installing DMCplus for •2-9
User’s Guide Honeywell TDC 3000 Software
 Compile these graphics in the picture editor by loading the global
database one time and compiling each graphic in any order. The
following commands illustrate this procedure:

SP NET>PLUS
PE
LOAD ASPEN
READ PLUSMSTR
COMP
READ PLUSMV
COMP
…

Initializing graphics Setting up the generic graphics requires that a few entries be input
or verified. These inputs are the values that allow the generic
graphics to view each subcontroller and controller.
The parameters that must be initialized in order for the graphics to
function properly are listed in the following table.

NOTE: If the CCF2EB utility is used to generate the exception

build files (.EB and .EL) from the DMCplus controller
configuration CCF file, these parameters will be pre-set and will
likely be correct.

3 Installing a Controller

Follow the instructions in this chapter, beginning with Step 1 and

continuing through the last step. Each step must be performed in
the order presented.
Step 1: Transfer Files
For each controller you are adding, you must transfer the model
(.mdl) and controller configuration (.ccf) files to the computer
running the DMCplus software. Create a directory under the
ACODHOME/app directory. The name of the directory will also be
the name of the controller. Remember this name when you run
DMCplus Manage. Place the model and control configuration files
into the newly created directory.
Step 2: Build Controller Interface
Points
There are at least three ways to build points:
1. The easiest and recommended way is to use the Exception
Build function using a .EB file. Instructions for using the
Exception Build function are provided in the following
section.
2. Another way is to “reconstitute” a previously existing point.
(This method is not possible if an AspenTech controller has
never been installed on the system).
3. The third way to build points is to create them from scratch.
(Consult the Honeywell TDC 3000 guides for details or
enlist the help of an experienced engineer). Creating points
from scratch allows the greatest flexibility but can delay
building a controller if the points are built incorrectly.
THIS METHOD IS NOT RECOMMENDED!

User’s Guide
Create EB file The “exception build” function is the recommended way to build
new points for advanced control.
Before you run the CCF2EB utility, you should have already done
the following:
1. Created a model file using DMCplus Model.
2. Created a CCF file using DMCplus Build.
3. Performed the template substitution on the entity names.
4. Run DMCplus Simulate to provide the initial values for the
tuning data.
All of the tags in the CCF that have connections to the LCN should
be verified before the CCF2EB utility is run. The LCN tags can be
found for each MV and CV under the “Entity” heading of the CCF
file. Verification now will save time later since it is easier to see
the tags in the .CCF file instead of on the TDC 3000 system.
The .EB file is used to create the CDS points (also called controller
interface points):
• Main controller point
• Subcontroller points
• Timer point
• Flag point
• Point for each variable (MV, FF, and CV)
The default values in the CCF are used to create initial values in
the exception build file. The utility is run on the host computer or
on the PC, depending on which version of the executable that is
distributed with your offline DMCplus. The .EL file is useful with
many other commands on the LCN. The resulting files (.EB and
.EL) must be transferred to the LCN in order to use them.

WARNING: You must use the correct version of CCF2EB. If you

are unsure which version you have, verify in the .EB file which
CDS packages will be used to build the points, especially the
subcontroller point.

Use the CCF2EB utility to create files with the extensions .EB and
.EL. The CCF2EB utility is typically run from an MS-DOS
command prompt window in the directory where the CCF is
located. When CCF2EB is run, it will prompt you for the
following:

3-2 •Installing a Controller Version 1.11 DMCplus for Honeywell TDC 3000
User’s Guide
 • Base CCF name
• LCN Unit
• Main point
• Subcontroller point(s)
• Timer point
• Flag point
• Whether the points are to build on an AM
• Whether the LCN is running a release greater than 500
Once you have responded with a valid CCF name, the program will
read the CCF and will set as many of the values as it can. When it
prompts you for information, it will then display these values as
suggested defaults between square brackets[ ]. To accept this
value, press Enter. Otherwise, type a new value and press Enter.
If no default can be determined, the square brackets will be
displayed with nothing between them. One value that will always
have to be supplied is the LCN unit. In general, you will build
associated data points on the same unit as the regulatory control
points for your controller.

NOTE: By convention, the data structures on the LCN are set up to

handle all controllers as a main point plus subcontroller points. In
cases where there are no subcontrollers in the CCF, the CCF2EB
program will prompt you for a subcontroller name. This is the
name that the operator will later type to display the independent
and dependent screens for the controller. It is therefore suggested
that for this case, you use the controller name for the subcontroller
point and then name the main point xxxxmain, where xxxx is an
abbreviation of the controller name.

The following CCF2EB example was run on an AxM node, using

PLUSDEMO.CCF file. Comments follow each line of program
input.

$ cd $ACODHOME/app/plusdemo
Change directory to the plusdemo controller subdirectory in
the ACODHOME structure.
$ $ACODHOME/bin/ccf2eb
Run the CCF2EB program. On an OpenVMS system, this
command will be: $ run acodhome:[bin]ccf2eb.
Enter Base Name for CCF []: plusdemo

User’s Guide
 Enter the name of the CCF without the CCF extension.
What LCN Unit are these points going to be built
on?[]:GP
The regulatory control points on the LCN are in Unit GP.
Enter GP as the unit name.
Main Point? [PLUSMAIN]:
The entity name for the GENERAL and CONFIGURATION
variables in the CCF was specified as PLUSMAIN, so
CCF2EB has supplied that as the default. Accept the default by
pressing Enter.
Sub Point? [ ]: PLUSDEMO
There were no subcontrollers so CCF2EB did not supply a sub
point. Type PLUSDEMO, which is the name of the controller
and press Enter.
Timer Point? [PLUSTIMR]:
The entity name for the timer parameters in the CCF
(RESETCMD and STRTSTOP) was specified as PLUSTIMR, so
CCF2EB has supplied this as the default. Accept the default.
Flag Point? [PLUSFLG]:
The entity name for the flag point parameter in the CCF
(ONSTS) was specified as PLUSFLG, so this has been supplied
as the default. Accept the default.
The package points for each MV, FF, and DEP can
reside either on an AM/AxM or on a CG.
Are the package points on an AM/AxM? (Y/N) [Y]:
The associated data points should be built on the AM. Accept
the default.
Is the LCN running Release 500 or later? (Y/N)
[N]:
The LCN is running LCN release 410. Accept the default.

NOTE: This example is a controller with no subcontrollers. The

user specified PLUSDEMO (the controller name), as the name of
the sub point and used PLUSMAIN for the main point. This
information is inherently encoded in the CCF and must be
incorporated while using Build, since the main point appears as the
entity name on the general and configuration tags.

File transfer Use the Windows NT Explorer to transfer the .EB and .EL files to
the appropriate directory on the LCN (e. g. NET>PLUS).

NOTE: LCN will not support file transfer of filenames greater than
8-character name plus 2-character extension, and will truncate long
filenames to this limitation.

Create IDF file Perform the exception build, writing the database to an IDF file.
This step should be done without the Load Entities or with
OVERWRITE options enabled, forcing the entire database to be
written to the IDF checkpoint file. Follow these steps:
1. Select [BUILDER COMMMANDS] from the
Engineering Main Menu.
2. Select [EXCEPTION BUILD] from the Command
Display.
3. Fill in the REFERENCE PATH NAME or directory
where the exception build files reside.
4. Fill in the PATHNAME FOR SOURCE file. This is the
exception build filename (including .EB extension).
5. Fill in the PATHNAME FOR IDF. This is typically the
exception build file name (without extension).
6. Press Enter when complete.

Load IDF file Once the IDF file is created, use the LOAD MULTIPLE to create
the controller database. Follow the steps below:
1. Select [BUILDER COMMMANDS] from the
Engineering Main Menu.
2. Select [LOAD MULTIPLE] from the Command Display.
3. Fill in the REFERENCE PATH NAME or directory
where the exception build files reside.
4. Fill in the PATHNAME FOR IDF. This is typically the
exception build file name (without extension).
5. Press Enter when complete.
After the controller database is built, activate the AM timer point
to enable the watchdog function for the controller. The AM timer
point has alarm capabilities and performs the watchdog function
for the controller.

 Step 3: Install PCLS0115.CL on Each
Subcontroller Point
PCLS0115.CL (PCLS0114.CL∗) changes the mode of each
manipulated variable regulatory point to CASCADE, and is
required for each DMCplus controller. PCLS0115.CL is found on
the Bernoulli disk (or the medium carrying the TDC 3000 portion
of the online DMCplus software). PCLS0115.CL (PCLS0114.CL*)
does the following:
• Turn ON: This function turns the controller ON. It must
create the cascades for each of the manipulated variables
that are in the controller.
• Turn OFF: This function turns the controller OFF. It must
break the cascades for each of the manipulated variables in
the controller and return them to operator control.
• Monitor manipulated variables: This cyclic function
monitors each manipulated variable to allow the loop to be
put into the controller without a transition from OFF to ON.
• Calculates ASWCOD: The program monitors and
computes the anti-windup code for each MV and stores the
value to each MV interface point on the parameter
AWSCOD. This value can then be read up from the DCS
into the DMCplus controller.
• Calculates LOOPST: The program monitors and
computes the MV loop status for each MV and stores the
value to each MV interface point on the parameter
LOOPST. This value can then be read up from the DCS
into the DMCplus controller.
PCLS0115.CL (PCLS0114.CL*) is compiled during the DMCplus
for Honeywell TDC 3000 software installation (Chapter 2, section
2) using the .EC file provided. This generic sample CL code uses a
set of arrays in the PCLS0115 package to perform the above
functions. For each manipulated variable, carefully review the
operation of this CL before using the code.
The sample CL (PCLS0115.CL or PCLS0114.CL*) included with
this distribution changes the mode of the manipulated variables
whenever the DMCplus request changes states. Several steps must
be taken to install this CL correctly:

Follow these steps:
point
A. Select SCHEM button on the TDC 3000 console
B. Type DMCplus Master Display name: PLUSMSTR
C. Select Subcontroller target and enter the Subcontroller
name
D. Select Build Independent

NOTE: The independent variable points are set up by the

EB file to have a default point type of PM or FF. You must
change the point type to the correct value based on the
location of the point (HW, PM, AM, etc). If an independent
variable is a feedforward, the CL will not change its mode.
Select FF as the type for these points.

2. Review, and if necessary, update the primary and secondary

modes (PRIMMODE, SECMODE) of the independent
variables on the subcontroller point. The EB defaults these
to BCAS and AUTO, respectively. When the DMCplus
request is set to ON, the CL checks the value of the mode
for each independent against the corresponding values in
these two arrays. If the current mode for the point is equal
to either the corresponding primary or secondary mode, the
CL will change the mode for that point to CAS. If the
DMCplus request is set to OFF, or if the controller sheds,
the CL will set the mode for each point to the
corresponding value in the primary mode array.
Link the CL to the subcontroller point. Do this by entering
the following command:
LK NET>PLUS>PCLS0115 subcontrollername
This action will generate a series of warnings about array
values being NULL. Ignore these for now.
3. Activate the subcontroller point to populate the Null fields,
described in the previous step. Enter the following
command at the system prompt:
ACTIVE subcontrollername
4. The final step is to re-link to the CL from the Subcontroller
point after populating the Null fields, by running the
following executable command file from the COMMAND
PROCESSOR prompt:

NOTE: The PLUS_LNK.EC executable command file will

inactivate the subcontroller point, unlink and re-link the
subcontroller point CL programs, and activate the subcontroller
point when complete.

(See the Appendices of this guide for more information about

installing the TDC 3000 controller and graphics.)

Step 4: Before Starting a Controller

Before starting a controller, it is important to review the following:
1. Check the LISTSZ parameter in the CONFIGURE section
of the CCF file to be sure that it is set correctly for your
Cim-IO. This value should be:
• 99 for CIMDDA
• 299 for CM50 v 2.0
• 600 for CM50 v 3.0 if using Cim-IO kernel v 4.6B
• 1200 for CM50 v 3.0 if using Cim-IO kernel v 4.7A
• -1 for CM50 v 3.2 if using Cim-IO kernel v 4.7.1
• -1 for Cim-IO for OPC
2. Check the CLOMSG parameter under the GENERAL
section of the CCF file. Make sure that RDWRT is
specified in the “keyword” field and that the “source” is
ORD and the Cim-IO entity is correct, i.e., associated with
CUSTOMAM Controller Main Point.
3. Review the values for MVTOL in the CCF to ensure that
round-off errors will not cause MVs to switch to FFs when
they are slightly larger than the engineering limits.
4. Ensure that the Cim-IO configuration file has been updated
correctly for DMCplus.
• If you are using CM50S, refer to the Server Installation
Configuration section of the Cim-IO for Honeywell
CM50S Interface User’s Manual.
Examine the ACIDP on the LCN to be sure it has the
following settings:
ACCESKEY READWRIT
ACT_TYPE DEMAND
RCASENB ON
CONFWAIT 0

If you are using OpenDDA on an AxM, refer to the
Software Installation section of the Cim-IO for Honeywell
OpenDDA Interface User’s Manual. Verify that:

$PRSTSnn.$XACCESS is READWRIT

where nn is the node number.

5. Ensure that the AM watchdog timer point is active.
6. Before placing any of the HG control points in CASCADE,
make sure that:
A. Stale setpoints are not used when the point is set to
CASCADE. To ensure this:
INITCONF = INIT
PVTRACK = TRACK
RCASENB = ON
B. The box is in Full Control.
C. You are using the correct HG parameter. There are two
timeout parameters on each MV: T1 and T2. Check to
see that you are using the correct one by pulling up a
detail on the point and investigating the parameters.
Also, drill down to the detail info on the HG from the
System Status display, select the HG, select
Netwk/Hwy status, and drill down further to see which
of T1 or T2 that it is using. It is recommended that you
use a value higher than the controller execution interval
(either T1 or T2).
MV is: BC/EC MC INTERVAL*
SP PIDSPC PIDNORM T1 or T2
OP PIDCM PIDDDC T1 or T2
PIDCMA T1 or T2
* Set Interval to the one that is larger than the controller
execution frequency.
7. Before placing any of the PM control points in CASCADE,
make sure that:
RCASOPT = SPC or DDC
SHEDTIME = controller frequency plus 5-10 seconds

5 DMCplus Operator Displays

Introduction
The displays for the TDC 3000 were carefully designed with the
user in mind. Each display has a distinct function. Values are
shown and appear in different colors to convey certain meanings.
For example, if a value is out of range, the value appears red to
notify the user that the value needs attention. On each display there
are targets to modify values and modes, and to load other displays.
Some targets prompt the user for further action; others simply
perform an action. Certain keys of the keyboard are programmed to
perform certain tasks that duplicate targets on the displays. These
keys are self-explanatory and include such actions as page-forward,
page-backward, display forward, display backward, help, and
associated display.
The displays show different items and respond differently
depending on the position of the access key. If the key is in
engineer mode, then the displays give full access to the controller
including customizing the appearance of variables on displays. In
operator mode, the user can still fully operate the DMCplus
controller. For the details on the difference between engineer and
operator mode, refer to each display.
In the rest of this chapter, there is a different section for each of the
DMCplus displays. Within these sections, there are two sub-
sections: Description, detailing the appearance of each display, and
Possible Actions, showing what the user can do on each display.
The user can load the displays according to Figure 1 below. The
lines represent the order in which displays can be loaded or
accessed. A user typically begins at the master display called
PLUSMSTR. From PLUSMSTR the user is able to choose which
subcontroller (and controller) that will be displayed in all
subsequent schematics.

the list will also show either ON or OFF. This target is in the
header on each display.

4 - Request DMC to This is the main switch that turns the controller ON or OFF. When
ON or OFF the target is selected, the user is prompted to hit Return to
continue the action. When the controller is requested or turned on,
the right side of the box (showing OFF) turns green and shows ON.
The Controller then initializes the manipulated variables (the
CASREQ parameter goes to INIT). On the next cycle the attached
CL block to the subcontroller turns the flag point ON if: (1) the
point is active, (2) the timer point is running, and (3) the CL code
is linked to the subcontroller.
When the flag point turns ON, the left box turns green and shows
ON. The controller will then calculate and send moves to the
controller. The DMCplus MASTER Control field shows whether
the master switch is ON of OFF.

Figure 3 Master display showing a demo controller with two

subcontrollers.

Description of The starting or master display for DMCplus controllers is called

PLUSMSTR. Like most of the displays, PLUSMSTR contains the
PLUSMSTR.DS
standard header. This header changes to fit the situation showing
only those targets that are relevant to the given subcontroller. If the
controller contains more than ten subcontrollers, page up and page
down arrows appear on the right side to facilitate moving between
subcontrollers not shown on the first page.

Possible actions
of PLUSMSTR.DS
1 - Select a Typically, a DMCplus controller is broken down into
subcontroller subcontrollers. At the top of this display there is a 16-character
field showing the subcontroller to be displayed. There are two
ways to select a new subcontroller:
A. Select one of the subcontroller names in the list located in
the middle of the page. The field at the top of the page will
be updated. The user is then free to select other screens
relating to this subcontroller.
B. Select the box at the top of the display entitled
Subcontroller: and type in the new subcontroller name.
The display will not allow an entry for a point of the wrong
type, or an entry for a non-existing point.

User’s Guide
 NOTE: Subsequent displays will show tags and values related only
to this subcontroller and to the general controller configuration.

2 - Show and/or The external target participation switch (ETON) enables or

enable/disable disables external targets for the entire controller. When the switch
external targets (EXT) is enabled (ON), it is green. When the switch is disabled (OFF), it
is blue.

NOTE: The enabled external targets (ETENB) parameter must be

enabled in the controller configuration file (CCF) to allow external
target participation. Valid states for the Master External Target
interaction enabling switch include:
0 (OFF) External Target facility is disabled
1 (RTO Mode) Enabled for full RT-Opt support
2 (IRV Mode) Enabled for IRV type External Targets only

3 - Show and/or The CLP request switch works in two stages. First, the request is
enable/disable made by selecting the target and pressing Return; the right box
composite linear turns green and shows ON. If the request is on, then there are two
program (CLP) modes possible in the left box: RDY (ready), and ON, depending
on what the controller is doing each cycle.

4 - Initialize and print The prediction initialization switch, PRDSWC, also allows the
prediction user to initialize dependent predictions (PDEP) without stopping
the controller program. Initializing the prediction may be necessary
if a major unmeasured disturbance occurs because it will not be
reflected in PDEP. The controller sets prediction initialization
switch to OFF after initializing predictions.

NOTE: Controller actions are based on the prediction of controlled

variable values (PDEP).

Figure 4 Manipulated Variable Display to Build Summary Display

Description of The Independent Variable Build display is engineer access only.

This display facilitates changing key parameters in the controller
PPMIBLD1.DS
and allows the engineer to customize the appearance of the
independent summary display (PLUSMV). Two important
parameters for each independent variable can be changed from this
display: INDTYPE (Independent type) and MODE.

Possible actions
of PPMIBLD1.DS
1 - Enter last page The independent variables are shown in sets of 15. If there are
more than 15 variables, multiple pages are used. The user can
specify how many pages to use to display all of the variables in the
Last Page target entitled near the top center of the display (see
Arrange Order of Variables below).

2 - Page forward or The page forward and page backward target allows the user to view
backward all of the variables, both independent and dependent. The user can
also jump to a given page by selecting PAGE and entering an
integer.

5 - Set main display The MAIN target loads any schematic. The user can specify which
display is loaded by selecting the blue Set MAINDISP target and
entering a display name (up to 16 characters).

6 - Change type for The controller treats each independent variable differently
each variable depending on its TYPE. It is critical to the proper operation of
the controller to have this parameter set correctly for each
variable. To select the type, select the target and type the letters for
the given variable:
• PM Process Manager
• FF Feedforward
• AM Application Manager
• HW Hiway Gateway
• NA Not Applicable

7 - Change mode for Each Independent Variable has two modes associated with it:
each variable Primary and Secondary. Each independent variable must be in one
of these two modes for the controller (specifically the .CL
program) to change the mode into CAS (cascade) when the
controller is started. The two modes, PRIM MODE and SECD
MODE, can be toggled for each independent variable by selecting
the mode on each slot. For example, by selecting BCAS on slot one
for DMCF107, the user can change the primary mode to CAS,
BCAS, AUTO or MAN.
When the controller stops, each independent variable sheds, or
changes, to the primary mode. Therefore, it is important to verify
the mode of each independent variable before the controller is
turned on because the controller does not warn the operator which
tags or variables are affected when a controller turns off.

5-8 •Operator Displays Version 1.11 DMCplus for Honeywell TDC 3000

 The most visible change is to change the order of the variables. For
8 - Arrange order of example, the user can decide to place all of the Feedforwards (FF)
variables on a separate page. The slots are fixed on each page. If the user
wants to move the first variable to slot 2, then the variable in slot 2
will have to be moved. See Figure 5 for details.
To change a slot:
A. Select a slot by selecting the appropriate target under TAG
NAME.
B. Select a variable from the blue list that appears at the right.
The list is a complete list of all of the independent
variables in the subcontroller; variables from other
subcontrollers may NOT be selected. If there are more than
15 variables, then use the green slider bar to page down the
list. When a variable from the list is selected, the list of
variables is cleared.
To clear a slot:
A. Select the slot.
B. Select the Clear Slot target above the list of variables.

initializing of modes when the controller turns ON or OFF from
these boxes.
The STAT column shows the status of each variable. The MODE
and other parameters for each manipulated variable can be changed
from the change zone that appears when the target is selected; see
Adjust Change Zone below. The possible states are:

Status Description
OFF Engineer has turned this variable OFF.
BAD Bad for Prediction and Control. Cannot use at all. The
measurement status is bad, the value is outside a validity
limit, or the operator has turned this variable OFF.
GOOD Good for both Prediction and Control. Normal state.
FFW Prediction Only. Good for Prediction, Bad for Control.
Will be used as a feed forward variable.
RDY Conditional GOOD Status. Set only when DMCplus
controller is OFF. Indicates that although LOOPST is
OFF, all other requirements for a GOOD status have been
satisfied. The controller will calculate moves for this MV
as if its status were GOOD.
ERR Bad value. There is an error with the graphics on TDC.
The LOW LIMIT and HIGH LIMIT columns show the limits the
operator gives to the variables. These values become backlit with
the appropriate color defined by the active constraint condition (see
Figure 8) if the steady state target is outside the limit. See Possible

variable (see Possible Actions of PLUSCV.DS section).
The STAT column shows the status of each variable. The MODE
and other parameters for each manipulated variable can be changed
from the change zone that appears when the target is selected; see
Adjust Change Zone below. The possible states are:
Status Description
OFF Engineer has turned this variable OFF.
BAD Bad for Prediction and Control. Cannot use at all. The
measurement status is bad, the value is outside a validity
limit, or the operator has turned this variable OFF.
GOOD Good for both Prediction and Control. Normal state.
PRED Prediction Only. Good for Prediction, Bad for Control.
PRD* Use Predicted Value. Used for discrete signals between
measurements.
MPRD Maintain prediction for intermittent variables, use neither
the value nor the prediction for control.
ERR Bad value. There is an error with the graphics on TDC.
The LOW LIMIT and HIGH LIMIT columns show the limits the
operator gives to the variables. These values become backlit with
the appropriate color defined by the active constraint condition if
the steady state target is outside the limit. See Possible Actions of
PLUSCV.DS below to change these values.
The PV/SP/OP column shows the PV (process value), SP
(setpoint) or OP (output). The values are coded for convenience:
white for PV, cyan for SP, and yellow for OP.
The last character of the PV/SP/OP column is a symbol to show

ones. The display only keeps the latest 42 messages. The other
option is for the controller to write messages from the new cycle
over the messages from the previous cycle.

A Troubleshooting

The controller writes error messages to two locations on the host

computer. High-level error messages are written into the .ENG file.
This file is located in the controller directory and is named the
controller name with a .ENG extension. The second location for
error messages is in ACODHOME:[etc]valid.err. This file contains
detailed information about the errors logged in the .ENG file. For
example, if you encounter a PCSPUT error in the .ENG file, the
valid.err file will give information about the tag or tags that failed.

General READ/PUT Errors

All PCSREADs and PCSPUTs fail. The most likely cause for this
error is that the Cim-IO CM50S processes are not running. Ensure
that the CIMIOLOGGER, CM50READx, CM50WRITEx,
CM50DLGPx processes are running on the system, where “x” is a
number. If they are present, check the UCX or TCPWARE services
to be sure the corresponding services are defined correctly.

TIMER Point PUT Errors

If the controller is getting a PCSPUT error and the entries in the
valid.err file indicate that the errors are occurring on the TIMER
point, check to be sure that the point is active on the LCN. If the
point is active and the PUTs still fail, reload the controller. On
some systems, the caching masks the change of state so you must
load the controller after the point has been activated. It may be
required to set CCF calcs for the watchdog params RESETCMD
and STRTSTOP if PCSPUT errors recur. For example:
RESETCMD = 0
STRTSTOP = 0

DMCplus for Honeywell TDC 3000 Version 1.11 Troubleshooting •A-1

User’s Guide
 Setpoint PUT Errors
If all setpoint PUTs are failing, check to be sure that the points are
in CASCADE and that the CM50S Cim-IO ACIDP has RCASENB
set to ON. See the ACIDP configuration in the Cim-IO for
Honeywell CM50S Interface User’s Manual for more information
about CM50S.

Intermittent PUT Failures

If you are receiving intermittent put failures and:
• You are using the Cim-IO for CM50S product (Version
2.0); check to make sure the ACIDP is DEMAND, or;
• You are a TCPWARE user, check to make sure the Cim-
IO/CM50 services are in the services file, but not activated
from NETCU. If they appear in the list when you do
NETCU SHO SERV you must remove them.

MV PUT Failures
If there are PUT failures to a particular MV, check to see if the MV
AM point is active and what kind of MODE the AM point is in. If
the point is inactive and the MODE is CASCADE, then the
DMCplus controller may continue to detect the MV as good.
Solution:
• The operator should deactivate the cascaded point (typically
a PM point BELOW the MV AM point), or;
• The operator should turn off the DMCplus service switch to
the particular MV.

Sometimes it is desirable to configure a button to take you to a

particular page directly. If your area button configuration is not
using a DF file yet, you can load the NET>PLUS>ASPEN.DF
display database file. Otherwise, you should append the
NET>PLUS>ASPEN.DF display database file to the one you are
using.

Subpictures for Button Configuration

Two subpictures are included which can be added to custom
schematics. A schematic is provided as a template for
configuration of a button to call a DMCplus schematic. If the area
button configuration or custom schematic is not using a DF file,
load the display database file NET>PLUS>ASPEN.DF prior to
reading the file. Otherwise, the file NET>PLUS>ASPEN.DF
should be appended to the current DF file.
To add a target to a custom schematic, the subpictures
NET>PSUB>PLSDEPTG.DS and NET>PSUB>PLSINDTG.DS
are included for the dependent and independent page summaries.
1. From the picture editor, with NET>PLUS>ASPEN.DF
loaded and the custom schematic read, enter the command:
ADD SUB NET>PSUB>PLSDEPTG
2. You will be prompted for a coordinate position of the
target. Enter the page number to be displayed.
3. You will then be prompted for information required for the
subpicture. Enter the subcontroller name.
4. Compile the schematic and replace the previous version of
the schematic in the schematic search path.

User’s Guide
 Each target is a one-character by six-character rectangle. The color
and size can be modified prior to adding to a custom schematic to
match the system wide scheme of color and size.
A template schematic, TMPINDBT.DS for MV and
TMPDEPBT.DS for CV, is provided for creating schematics that
can be used for area buttons. The template is a blank schematic
with the target action implemented in the INIT function of the
schematic.
1. Create a new DS file by copying or using the SET PATH
function of the picture editor.
2. To edit the target action of the schematic, enter:
DEFINE INIT
3. Change the page number and the subcontroller name of the
target for the desired page summary.
4. The last line of the target contains the name of the
DMCplus summary to be invoked. For an independent page
summary the schematic name is PLUSMV and for a
dependent page summary the name is PLUSCV.
5. Compile the schematic and place the file in the schematic
search path.
6. Using the Button Editor; select the desired button and enter:
SCHEM(controller_button_filename)
7. Compile the button file and install in the area database of

F CDS Map for FMOV and PDEP

The following tables show the layout for mapping future moves
and predictions from extended move controllers into the available
CDS slots. Writing future moves and predictions for all controller
variables increases the interface loading significantly.
After enabling future moves and predictions in DMCplus Build,
configure the FMOVxxx, PDEPCxxx, and PPMDEPxxx variables
using the appropriate table.
See Tag Naming: Entry Replacement & Tag Wizard under the
Build section of the online DMCplus Reference Guide for
information about automating this process.
