3. OBJECT CATEGORIES
3.1 BASIC OBJECTS
The Basic Objects (AI, AO, DI, DO) provide access and control for process IO-signals and
calculated IO-signals.
Basic functions such as blocking and forcing of signals, control of output and limit level
changes are integrated in these objects.
Using the PCC (Priority Command Connection) concept input signal objects (AIS/AIC and
DIS/DIC) can propagate their alarm state to consumer objects. Depending on the
configuration, signals may send interlock actions to the connected consumer without using
binary interlock code. In addition it is possible to navigate between faceplates of signals
and consumers connected via PCC.
A detailed description of the basic objects and their interfaces is given in the reference
manual Basic Objects.

4.4 NLS CUSTOMIZATION

All NLS definitions can be found under Preferences & Customizations in the Library
Structure. New definitions shall also be done under this same path. Check in next
chapters how to create a project specific NLS definition.
The NLS translation when concerning to Regional Settings together with

plant workplace operations and Control Builder M engineering must be
done with care. Problems like corrupted applications, hanging operator
workplaces and failing data subscriptions to the controllers are possible
in case this work is not properly done.
Please, refer to the documents 3BSE041492 and 3BSE032791R101 before starting this
work. It is NOT recommended to start this activity during commissioning phase or in
running plants.
The next chapters are related to the configuration that can be done using the Minerals
Library.

Note that all your definitions will be lost in case of a library upgrade. To avoid
that, backup these aspects before doing the upgrade and restore them
afterwards.
When using NLS, a flag in the BMIConstAndVar must be set to true for all the projects.
4.4.2 Project Specific NLS Support for Interlock and Alarm messages
For some projects, it can be necessary to translate some interlock texts and alarm
messages shown in the faceplates.
There is a difference between upgrading existing projects from VB graphics to PG2
graphics and creating NLS support for new projects using PG2. The next chapters will
describe in detail how to handle these two cases.
4.4.2.1 Creating new NLS Support for PG2 or VB6
The standard procedure to implement NLS pointers contains the three points listed below:
1. The strings for the Interlock and alarm texts have to be defined as NLS pointers in
the Control Modules. Format is ||NLSID_<MyPointer>
2. The NLS pointers used in the control modules have to be defined in Alarm and
Event Translator aspects. The project specific Alarm and Event Translator
aspects shall be stored under MineralsProj_NLSID in the Library Structure |
Preferences and Customizations, named as Project_NLSID_AETrans. This aspect
will be used for event lists, alarm lists, alarm lines and VB6 based ActiveX controls
such as the PCC Viewer.
3. The same NLS Pointers must be defined in the same object (MineralsProj_NLSID)
as NLS Resource Manager, named as BMI_Proj_NLSID. This aspect will be
used for PG2 graphic elements and faceplates.
F
F
Doc. kind
Title
Make sure pointers in both aspects (BMI_Proj_NLSID and

Project_NLSID_AETrans) are named the same. Otherwise PG2 graphic
elements and faceplates will not support NLS pointers correctly.
It is possible to use the XML Data extract option on the NLS aspects to copy all
NLS pointers from the Alarm and Event Translator aspect to the NLS
Resource Manager aspect.

4.4.2.2 Example
As an example, lets create NLS supported texts for interlocks and alarms for the following
objects below:
Starting from the DIS, 561_BC1_D1, verify below how to set the text Drift Switch Left into
a NLS supported key.
If not existing in the keyboard, the char | has an ASCII code 124.
Now lets set the Interlock texts under the motor _561_BC1_M1 to be NLS supported:

With everything defined, now we have to create the pointers in the library structure for
customization.
Object path for NLS pointer is [Library Structure] / Preferences and Customizations /
MineralsProj_NLSID
1. The NLS pointers used in the control modules have to be defined in Alarm and
Event Translator aspects. The project specific Alarm and Event Translator
aspects shall be stored under MineralsProj_NLSID in the Library Structure |
Preferences and Customizations, named as Project_NLSID_AETrans. This aspect
will be used for event lists, alarm lists and alarm lines in the workplaces.
2. The same NLS Pointers must be defined in the same object (MineralsProj_NLSID)
as NLS Resource Manager, named as BMI_Proj_NLSID. This aspect will be
used for graphic elements and faceplates.
3. After all pointers defined for your whole project, your text will be fully NLS
supported.
4.4.3 NLS support for Object Description
800xA allows the users to change the description of the objects to their current language
thru the NLS support under the name aspect of each object.
The new description defined will be shown in the operator workplaces when Regional
Options are set to the preferred language.

4.5.2 NLS, AE and Event Log Project Constants

Some Project Constants can be changed per Control Project to customize the Alarm and
Event Appearance and Message Texts.
Note that most Control Modules additionally have their own Project Constants for Alarm
and Event Messages, which are described in the respective Sections in the other
Manuals.
4.5.2.1 NLS Project Constants
Below constants are related to the Alarm and Event NLS handling, and do not need to be
changed with the exception of AE_NLS_Used. See also Section Project Specific NLS

4.5.2.2 AE Project Constants

Below Constants define the Severity and Acknowledge Rule (1= Normal, 2 = Auto Ack),
for Alarms generated by the Control Modules. Only change these constants if you have a
good reason to do so.
The Suffix Texts are added to the Alarm Messages and can be customized.
Note that these Text Strings are only added to the Alarm Messages if no NLS is used for
Alarm Messages (AE_NLS_Used is set to false). Else, the texts are customized later via
Alarm and Event Translator Aspects anyway.

The status form child objects are always reported to the parent object and vice versa
Commands can be sent from parents to children and from children to parents
Executes the start and stop of consumers connected to the group in a given or dynamic
start / stop order
Summarizes to status of all connected consumers and indicates it on the group object
Pre-Selection objects for parameterized routing and duty standby applications
Process Control Connection PCC

Connects consumer objects with their interlocking and process control signals
Parameters on the signal modules define the interlock between the signal and the
consumer
The operational status of the consumer is used to define the alarm behavior of the signal

5.1.2 Code Sorting

The following diagram shows the interactions between the most common objects in the Minerals Library. This is very
important to understand how the code sorting works in the minerals library objects. Sort order is from left to right:
The lines and text in blue means the connection between the blocks thru logic connection, if exists. The lines in green
means the connection between the blocks thru the Group-Drive bus. And finally the lines in brown means the
connection between the blocks through PCC bus.
