The P_LLS (Lead Lag standby motor group) Add-On Instruction provides
control of a parallel group of motors. Such groups are commonly used for a group
of pumps that maintain pressure on a header despite wide changes in demand,
such as in municipal-scale or plant-scale water distribution.
The following global object and faceplate images are examples of the graphical
interface tools for this Add-On Instruction.
Global Objects Faceplate
Add-On Instruction
Guidelines Use this instruction to control a group of motors, such as a set of pumps with
common intake source and discharge destination. The number of motors to run
depends on the demand on the system. The P_LLS group can be configured to
consist of as few as 2 or as many as 30 motors. The minimum demand can be set
as low as 0, so that all motors are stopped at minimum demand. The maximum
demand can be set as high as the number of pumps in the group. (In this case, if
the demand were as high as the number of pumps in the group, there would be no
'standby' pumps.)

IMPORTANT To automate the group of motors, logic outside the P_LLS Add-On Instruction
must determine the demand and the number of motors in the group to run.
Every Lead / Lag / Standby control strategy consists of two basic parts: the logic
that determines number of motors to run (the demand), and the logic that
determines which motors to run. The P_LLS instruction provides the second
part of such a strategy. The logic that determines the demand varies from
application to application. The developer of each application must provide and
test this logic.
An operator or other logic determines the demand for motors. The P_LLS
instruction determines which motors to run to meet demand. In order for P_LLS
to start and stop motors in the group, they must be 'available'. A motor is available
when it has no faults and is in Program Mode.
The P_LLS instruction uses a sorting algorithm to deal with motors that are not
available. If a motor is running and not available (perhaps running in Operator
Mode), the motor is forced to the top of the sort. If a motor is stopped and not
available (perhaps faulted), the motor is forced to the bottom of the sort. The
motors that are available to start and stop are controlled to meet the demand. If
the demand cannot be met because of unavailable motors, a status/alarm
is provided.
EXAMPLE Two motors in a group of four are stopped and not available. The P_LLS
instruction raises a 'can’t start' alarm when the demand reaches three because
there are only two motors available to run.
The P_LLS instruction uses an array of structures of the type 'P_LLS_Motor' to

interface to the motors. Each interface element in the array provides the signals
that are required between the P_LLS instruction and one motor. Configuration
data for the motor are also provided in the array. This data includes Priority and
Preference values that can be used to affect the sorting of the motors. A
Maintenance 'out of service' flag that removes a motor from consideration in the
sort is also included. The interface also includes a 'user sort' value that can be
used, for example, to push motors up or down the sort based on accumulated
runtime or other criteria.

Functional Description The P_LLS Instruction controls and monitors a group of 2 to 30 motors and
provides:
• Operator, Program, and Override capability to start and stop the group (as
a group).
• Ability for the Operator or Program to enter a 'demand', the number of
motors to run.
• Configurable maximum demand (1 to number of motors in group).
• Configurable minimum demand (0 to maximum demand).
• Configurable to stop the last started motor or the first started motor
(first-on-last-off or last-on-last-off ).
• Configurable delay between starts and configurable delay between stops.
• Start and Stop commands on the P_LLS instruction allow for starting or
stopping the motors as a group. The delay between starts or stops can be
configured to sequence the motors.
• Starts or stops motors as required to meet the entered demand.
• Identifies (and optionally alarms) when there are not enough motors
available to start (in Program Mode and ready to run) for the given
demand to be met.
• Identifies (and optionally alarms) when there are not enough motors
available to stop (in Program Mode and ready to stop) for the given
demand to be met.
• Ability to rotate the list of motors (demote the lead, promote the others).
• Monitoring of Permissive conditions to allow starting the motor group.
• Monitoring of Interlock conditions to stop/prevent starting the
motor group.
• Alarm if interlock conditions cause the group to be stopped.
• Supports HMI 'breadcrumbs' for Alarm Inhibited, Bad Configuration,
Not Ready, and Maintenance Bypass Active.
• 'Available' status for use by automation logic to know whether motor group
can be controlled by other objects.

Required Files Add-On Instructions are reusable code objects that contain encapsulated logic
that can streamline implementing your system. With this code, you can create
your own instruction set for programming logic as a supplement to the
instruction set provided natively in the ControlLogix® firmware. An Add-On
Instruction is defined once in each controller project, and can be instantiated
multiple times in your application code as needed.
Controller File
The P_LLS_3_5-00_AOI.L5X Add-On Instruction must be imported into the
controller project to be used in the controller configuration. The service release
number (boldfaced) can change as service revisions are created.
Visualization Files
This Add-On Instruction has associated visualization files that provide a
common user interface. These files can be downloaded from the Product
Compatibility and Download Center at

Lead/Lag/Standby Motor Group InOut Structure
InOut parameters are used to link the Add-On Instruction to external tags that
contain necessary data for the instruction to operate. These external tags must be
of the data type shown.
Table 7 - P_LLS Drive InOut Parameters

Tag Name Data Type Description
Ref_Motors P_LLS_Motor Motor Interface Array (link to 2 to 30 motors)
The number of motors is on Engineering Tab Page 2. The tag pointed to by

Ref_Motors is used to interface between P_LLS and 2…30 motors.
(See Engineering Tab Page 2 on page 48) sets the number of motors.
In the following example, the interface tag is named 'MyP_LLS_Motors'. The

type is an array of P_LLS_Motor structures. For each group of motors, create an
interface array. Name its tag the same as the P_LLS instruction backing tag, plus
'_Motors'. The array must have at least as many elements as there are motors in
the group.

This tag is an array of parameter values that facilitates communications between

P_LLS and an instance of P_Motor. The following table shows the contents of
each member of the array.
Table 8 - Array Member Content
Name Data Type Description
Inp_OtherSel DINT Other motor selection criteria (0...255) (input to LLS).
Inp_Demote BOOL Demote this motor to bottom of list (for example, on high runtime) (input to LLS).
Cfg_Prio DINT Motor priority in list (0...31 -- if unused, set to 0).
Cfg_Pref DINT Motor preference in list (0...31), all else being equal.
Cfg_NavTag STRING_NavTag Logix tag to navigate to for this motor (For example, P_Motor backing tag name).
IMPORTANT: This tag does not work in FactoryTalk ME.
PCmd_Start BOOL Program Command to start motor (output from LLS).
PCmd_Stop BOOL Program Command to stop motor (output from LLS).
PCmd_Acq BOOL Command to Acquire motor in Program mode (output from LLS).
PCmd_Rel BOOL Command to Release motor from Program mode (output from LLS).
MSet_OoS BOOL Maintenance setting to place motor Out of Service (input to LLS).

Sts_Stopped BOOL Motor is confirmed stopped (input to LLS).
Sts_Starting BOOL Motor is starting (input to LLS).
Sts_Running BOOL Motor is confirmed running (input to LLS).
Sts_Stopping BOOL Motor is stopping (input to LLS).
The following image shows the relationship between P_LLS, Ref_Motors

(interface), and P_Motor.

The following images show an example of the ladder logic for transferring
commands and motor status for one motor. Three steps are shown:
• Get motor status into P_LLS.
• Execute P_LLS to select which motors to run.
• Forward commands to the motor from P_LLS to the individual motors.
Each of the three steps is shown on its own rung. If desired, all three steps can be
in one branched rung.
In the following diagram, the process for forwarding each of the commands
(PCmd_Acq, PCmd_Rel, PCmd_Start, and PCmd_Stop) is:
• The appropriate bit in the interface is tested to see if it set.
• If the bit is set, the bit is cleared and the corresponding program command
on the motor is set.
TIP The interface for the first motor in the group is element [0] of the interface
array tag.
TIP This logic assumes that the motor is configured to clear program commands
upon receipt (Cfg_PCmd_Clear = 1, the default value).

Next, the motor logic is executed.
The motor logic uses the program commands to control the physical motor. The
motor logic also receives feedback from the motor.
The status (available, stopped, starting, running, and stopping) is read from the
motor and written to the interface.

Lead/Lag/Standby Motor Group Input Structure
Input parameters include the following:

• Input data elements (Inp_) are typically used to connect field inputs from
I/O modules or signals from other objects.
• Configuration data elements (Cfg_) are used to set configurable
capabilities and features of the instruction.
• Commands (PCmd_, OCmd_, MCmd_) are used by program logic,
operators, and maintenance personnel to request instruction actions.
• Settings (PSet_, OSet_, MSet_) are used by program logic, operators, and
maintenance personnel to establish runtime setpoints, thresholds, and so
forth. A Setting (without a leading P, O, or M) establishes runtime settings
regardless of role or mode.

and navigation to the permissive object faceplate is enabled.
IMPORTANT: The name of the Permissive object in the controller must be the
name of this object with the suffix ‘_Perm’. For example, if your P_LLS object has
the name ’LLS123’, then its Permissive object must be named ‘LLS123_Perm’.


Type
Cfg_HasIntlkObj BOOL 0 1 = Tells HMI an interlock object (for example, P_Intlk) is used for Inp_IntlkOK and
navigation to the interlock object’s faceplate is enabled.
IMPORTANT: The name of the Interlock object in the controller must be this
object's name with the suffix ‘_Intlk’. For example, if your P_LLS object has the
name ’LLS123’, then its Interlock object must be named ‘LLS123_Intlk’.

Cfg_HasCantStartAlm BOOL CantStart.Cfg_Exists 0 These parameters determine whether the corresponding alarm exists and is
checked or if the alarm does not exist and is not used. When these parameters
Cfg_HasCantStopAlm CantStop.Cfg_Exists are 1, the corresponding alarm exists.
Cfg_HasIntlkTripAlm IntlkTrip.Cfg_Exists
Cfg_CantStartResetReqd BOOL CantStart.Cfg_ResetReqd 0 These parameters determine whether a reset is required to clear the alarm status.
When these parameters are 1, the alarm is latched ON when the alarm occurs. After
Cfg_CantStopResetReqd CantStop.Cfg_ResetReqd the alarm condition returns to normal, a reset is required to clear the alarm status.
For example, OCmd_Reset, Inp_Reset, or Drivefault.OCmd_Reset are required to
Cfg_IntlkTripResetReqd IntlkTrip.Cfg_ResetReqd clear Alm_DriveFault alarm after the alarm is set and the value returns to normal.
When these parameters are 0, no reset is required and the alarm status is cleared
when the alarm condition returns to normal.
IMPORTANT: If the reset clears the alarm, it also acknowledges the alarm.
Cfg_CantStartAckReqd BOOL CantStart.Cfg_AckReqd 1 These parameters determine whether an acknowledgement is required for an
alarm. When these parameters are 1, the acknowledge (ack) bit is cleared when
Cfg_CantStopAckReqd CantStop.Cfg_AckReqd the alarm occurs. An acknowledge command (for example, PCmd_FailAck or
Fail.OCmd_Ack) is required to acknowledge the alarm. When set to 0, the
Cfg_IntlkTripAckReqd IntlkTrip.Cfg_AckReqd Acknowledge bit is set when an alarm occurs indicating an acknowledged alarm
and no acknowledge command is required.


Type
Cfg_CantStartSeverity INT CantStart.Cfg_Severity 750 These parameters determine the severity of each alarm. The severity drives the
color and symbol that are used to indicate alarm status on the faceplate and global
Cfg_CantStopSeverity CantStop.Cfg_Severity 750 object.

Operations This section describes the primary operations for Add-On Instructions.
Modes
This instruction uses the following standard modes, which are implemented by
using an embedded P_Mode Add-On Instruction.
Table 11 - Modes
Mode Description
Operator The Operator owns control of the group. Operator commands (OCmd_) and Operator settings
(OSet_) from the HMI are accepted.
Program Program logic owns control of the group. Program commands (PCmd_) and Program settings
(PSet_) are accepted.
Override Priority logic owns control of the group and supersedes Operator and Program control. Override
Inputs (Inp_OvrdCmd and other Inp_OvrdXxxx values) are accepted. If so configured,
bypassable interlocks and permissives are bypassed.
Maintenance Maintenance owns control of the group and supersedes Operator, Program, and Override control.
Operator commands and settings from the HMI are accepted. Bypassable interlocks and
permissives are bypassed, and device timeout checks are not processed.
Hand Hardwired logic or other logic outside the instruction owns control of the group. The instruction
tracks the state of the device for bumpless transfer back to one of the other modes.
No Mode The device is disabled and has no owner because the EnableIn input is false. The main
instruction Logic routine is not being scanned. See Execution section for more information on
EnableInFalse processing.
See Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects: Common Mode Block

(P_Mode) Reference Manual, publication SYSLIB-RM005, for more
information.
Alarms
This instruction uses the following alarms, which are implemented by using
embedded P_Alarm and P_Gate Add-On Instructions.
Alarm Name P_Alarm Name P_Gate Name Description

Can’t Start CantStart None Raised when there are not enough motors available to
start to satisfy the entered Demand. Too many motors
are faulted or stopped in a mode other than Program.
Can’t Stop CantStop None Raised when there are not enough motors available to
stop to satisfy the entered Demand. Too many motors
are running in a mode other than Program.
Interlock Trip IntlkTrip None Raised when the motor is running and an interlock
'not OK' condition causes the motor to stop.
If interlocks are not bypassed, a bypassable interlock
or a non-bypassable interlock 'not OK' condition
initiates an interlock trip. If interlocks are bypassed,
only a non-bypassable interlock 'not OK' condition
initiates an interlock trip.
Parameters of the P_Alarm object can be accessed by using the following

convention: [P_Alarm Name].[P_Alarm Parameter].

Simulation
P_LLS does not have a simulation capability.
Execution
The following table explains the handling of instruction execution conditions.
Condition Description
EnableIn False (false rung) Handled the same as if the group is disabled by command.
The motor outputs are de-energized and the group is
shown as disabled on the HMI. The mode is shown as No
mode. All alarms are cleared.
Powerup (prescan, first scan) Any commands received before first scan are discarded.
The motor is de-energized and treated as if it were
commanded to stop.
Embedded P_Mode and P_Alarm instructions are
handled in accordance with their standard powerup
procedures. See the Reference Manuals for the P_Mode
and P_Alarm instructions for details.
Postscan (SFC transition) No SFC postscan logic is provided.

KEY CONCEPT: The list of pumps is sorted (by descending numeric value, based on
signed integer bit pattern) to determine Lead / Lag / 2nd Lag ... order.
PAGE TITLE: Lead-Lag-Spare Pump Sort Algorithm
27
Motor Sort Algorithm
To determine the order in which the motors (pumps) are started, signed integer
bit patterns for each motor are sorted by numeric value. The following list is the
order in which the bit patterns are evaluated when sorting:
• Out of service bit
• Status value
• Priority value
• User-input value
• Preference value
• Current position value
Out of Service (Bit 31)
This bit is used to flag the motor out of service (value = 1) and automatically send
it to the bottom of the list. If this bit = 0, the motor is free to operate and bits
5…30 determine its start order.
If multiple motors are out of service, bits 5…30 determine their position at the
bottom of the list.
Out of service motors are not commanded and are not counted as running even if
actually running.
Status Value (Bits 30…28)
The status of the motor determines the value of these bits:

• 100 - The motor is in Hand and is not available to stop
• 010 - The motor is in Auto and is free to start or stop
• 001 - The motor is Off and is not available to start
If all motors have the same value, these bits do not affect the sort; the next set of
bits become the determining factor in the sort.
Priority Value (Bits 27…23)
These bits are next in the order of precedence for sorting the array list. The value
of these bits corresponds to the number entered in the Motor Priority field in the
Motor Configuration dialog box (page 50).
The highest priority value has a pattern of '11111' (31), the next highest priority
value is '11110' (30), and so forth.
If this priority is not to be used for the sort, set the priority value to zero for
every motor.

User-input Values (Bits 22…15)
If the Status Values are equal and the Priority values are equal, enter values in
these bits to sort the motors in the array list to the desired order.
The highest user-input value has a pattern of '11111111' (255), the next highest
user-input value is '11111110' (254), and so forth.
If this value is not to be used for the sort, set the value to zero for every motor.
Preference Value (Bits 14…10)
These bits are next in the order of precedence for determining the order of the
motors in the array list. The value of these bits corresponds to the number
entered in the Motor Preference field in the Motor Configuration dialog
box (page 50).
The highest preference value has a pattern of '11111' (31), the next preference
value is '11110' (30), and so forth.
If this value is not to be used for the sort, set the value to zero for every motor.
Current Position (Bits 9…5)
IMPORTANT The current position bits are the only set of bits that cannot be equal.
These bits are next in the order of precedence for determining the order of the
motors in the array list. The value of these bits corresponds to the value of the
current position of the motor in the list, and the value is established by the
P_LLS instruction. There is no user entry for this field.
• Lead motor - '11111' (31)
• First Lag motor - '11110' (30)
• Second Lag motor - '11101' (29) and so on …
The Status value, Priority value, User-input value, and Preference value must be
equal for all motors for the Current Position to be a determining factor in the
sort.

Display Elements A display element (global object) is created once and can be referenced multiple
times on multiple displays in an application. When changes are made to the
original (base) object, the instantiated copies (reference objects) are
automatically updated. Use of global objects, with tag structures in the
ControlLogix system, aid consistency and save engineering time.

(RA-BAS-ME) P_LLS Graphics Library.ggfx for FactoryTalk View ME or
(RA-BAS) P_LLS Graphics Library.ggfx for FactoryTalk View SE. Follow these
steps to use a global object.
1. Copy the global object from the global object file and paste it in the
display file.

2. In the display, right-click the global object and choose Global Object
Parameter Values.
The Global Object Parameter Values dialog box appears.
The global object parameters are as follows.
Parameter Required Description

#102 Y Object tag to point to the name of the associated object Add-On Instruction
in the controller.
#103 Y Path used for display navigation features to other objects. Include program
scope if tag is a program scope tag.
#120 N Additional parameter to pass to the display command to open the faceplate.
Typically used to define position for the faceplate.
#121 N Additional parameter to pass to the display command to open the faceplate.
If defining X and Y coordinates, separate parameters so that #120 defines X
and #121 defines Y. This separation lets these parameters be used in
subsequent display commands originating from the faceplate.
#122 Y The options for the global object display are as follows:
0 = Always show faceplate
1 = Show Quick Display for users without Maintenance access (Code C)
2 = Always show Quick Display
3. In the Value column, type the tag or value as specified in the Description
column.
TIP Click the ellipsis (…) to browse and select a tag.

Values for items marked ‘(optional)’ can be left blank.
4. Click OK.

Quick Display The Quick Display screen provides means for operators to perform simple
interactions with the P_LLS instruction instance. From the Quick Display, you
can navigate to the faceplate for full access for operation, maintenance personnel,
and configuration.

Faceplate The P_LLS faceplate consists of five tabs and each tab consists of one or
more pages.
The title bar of each faceplate contains the value of local configuration tags
Cfg_Tag and Cfg_Desc.
The Operator tab is displayed when the faceplate is initially opened. Click the
appropriate icon at the top of the faceplate to access a specific tab.
Maintenance Diagnostics Exit
Operator Engineering Alarms Help
The faceplate provides the means for operators, maintenance workers, engineers,
and others to interact with the P_LLS instruction instance. You can also view the
status and values and manipulate it through its commands and settings. When a
given input is restricted via FactoryTalk View security, the required user security
code letter is shown in the tables that follow.

Operator Tab
The Faceplate initially opens to the Operator (‘Home’) tab. From here, an
operator can monitor the group status and manually operate the group when it is
in Operator mode.
The Operator tab has buttons to start and stop the group when it is in the proper
mode and shows the following:
• Current mode (Program, Operator, Override, Maintenance, or Hand)
• Requested mode indicator (appears only if Operator or Program mode is
superseded by another mode)
• Group state (stopping, stopped, starting, or running)
• Interlock and permissive status and navigation buttons

If the object is configured to have permissive or interlock objects (for example,

Cfg_HasPermObj or Cfg_HasIntlkObj is true), the permissive and interlock
indicators become buttons that open the faceplates of the source objects that are
used as a permissive or interlock. Often the source object is a P_Intlk object or a
P_Perm object. If the object is not configured in this way, the interlock or
permissive symbols are indicators only.

See the following publications for more information:

• Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects: Interlock with First Out
and Bypass (P_Intlk) Reference Manual, publication SYSLIB-RM004
• Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects: Permissives with Bypass
