Description of the applicationPresentation of the Application
At a Glance The application described in this document is used to manage the level of a liquid in a tank. The tank is filled by a pump, and drained using a valve.The different levels of the tank are measured with sensors placed on the tank.The volume of the tank is shown by a digital display.The applications operation control resources are based on an operator screen, which shows the status of the various sensors and actuators, as well as the volume of the tank.Depending on the status of the tank level and the application, the user must be alerted by way of alarms, with all necessary information backed up each time these are triggered.
Illustration This is the applications final operator screen:

Tank high safety
High tank level
Low tank level
Tank safety low
Pump flow0.2
Stop CycleStart Cycle7
Description of the ApplicationOperating mode The operating mode is as follows: A Start Cycle button is used to run filling cycles, When the high level of the tank is reached, the pump stops and the valve opens.
When the low level of the tank is reached, the valve closes and the pump is activated until the high level is reached.
A Stop Cycle button is used to interrupt the fill cycles. Pressing this button allows you to set the system to a safe level. The pump stops and the valve opens until the 'Low safety' level is reached (tank empty). The valve closes and the cycle stops.
The pump has a variable flow rate, the value of which can be accessed by the operator screen. The flow rate of the valve is equal to that of the pump.
Safety measures must be installed: Loss of tanks high level: another level, called 'High safety' is activated, and
the system is set to failsafe. The pump then stops and the valve opens until the 'Low safety' level is reached (tank empty). The valve closes and the cycle stops.
Loss of tanks low level: another level, called 'Low safety' is activated, and the system is set to failsafe. The valve then closes and the cycle stops.
For both failsafe modes, a fault message must be displayed. The time that the valve is open and closed is monitored, with a fault message
being displayed if either of these is exceeded.8

Configuration The configuration tool is used to: createmodifysave the elements used to configure the PLC station, set up the application-specific modules comprising the station, diagnose the modules configured in the station, assess the current consumed on the basis of the voltages supplied by the power
supply module declared in the configuration, control the number of application-specific channels configured in relation to the
capacities of the processor declared in the configuration, assess processor memory usage.
Note: The configuration may be performed before or after the programming of the project; this has the advantage of being able to create generic projects without having to be concerned with the configuration in the initial stage.
Note: For more information, see Unity Pro online help (click on , then Unity, then Unity Pro, then Operate modes, and Project configuration). 11
Presentation of Unity Pro SoftwareData Editor The data editor offers the following functions: declaration of variable instances, definition of Derived Data Types (DDT), directly accessible via Derived Data
Types, declaration of instances of Elementary and Derived Function Blocks (EFB/DFB), definition of parameters of Derived Function Blocks (DFB), directly accessible via
Derived FB Types (See DFB Editor, p. 13).
To access the Data editor, simply double-click on Variables & FB instances in the project browser.
Program Editor The program editor is used to develop the different PLC tasks using different types of language, in particular: FBD (Function Block Diagram), LD (Ladder Diagram), SFC (Sequential Function Chart), only available for the MAST task, IL (Instruction List), ST (Structured Text).
To access the Program editor, simply double-click on Program in the project browser and select a Task or an Event.

Application using Unity ProCreation and Use of DFBs
At a Glance DFB types are function blocks that can be programmed by the user ST, IL, LD or FBD. Our application uses a motor DFB and a valve DFB.We will also be using existing DFB from the library for monitoring variables. Particularly 'safety' variables for tank levels, and 'error' variables returned by the valve. The status of these variables will be visible in Diagnostics display.
Procedure for Creating a DFB
The table below shows the procedure for creating application DFBs.
Note: Function blocks can be used to structure and optimize your application. They can be used whenever a program sequence is repeated several times in your application, or to set a standard programming operation (for example, an algorithm that controls a motor).Once the DFB type is created, you can define an instance of this DFB via the variable editor or when the function is called in the program editor.
Note: For more information, see Unity Pro online help (click on , then Unity, then Unity Pro, then Language references, and User function block).
Step Action
1 In the Project browser, right click on Derived FB types and select Open.
2 In the Data editor window, select the box in the Name column and enter a name for your DFB and confirm with Enter. The name of your DFB appears with the sign 'Works' (unanalyzed DFB).
3 Open the structure of your DFB (see figure below) and add the inputs, outputs and other variables specific to your DFB.
4 When the variables of the DFB are declared, analyze your DFB (the sign 'Works' must disappear). To analyze your DFB, select the DFB and, in the menu, click Build then Analyze. You have created the variables for your DFB, and must now create the associated section.
5 In the Project browser, double-click on Derived FB types then on your DFB. Under the name of your DFB, the Sections field will appear.
6 Right click on Sections then select New section.
7 Give your section a name, then select the language type and confirm with OK. Edit your section using the variables declared in step 3. Your DFB can now be used by the program (DFB Instance).24

Application using Unity ProOperating Principle of the Valve DFB
The following screen shows the Valve DFB written in FBD language:
This DFB authorizes the command to open the valve (Valve_opening_cmd) when the inputs Valve_closure and Lim_valve_opening are set to '0'. The principle is the same for closure, with an additional safety feature if the user requests the opening and closing of the valve at the same time (opening takes priority).In order to monitor opening and closing times, we use the TON timer to delay the triggering of a fault. Once the valve opening is enabled (Valve_opening_cmd = 1), the timer is triggered. If Lim_valve_opening does not switch to '1' within two seconds, the output variable Valve_opening_error switches to '1'. In this case a message is displayed (See Diagnostics Viewer, p. 51).
Note: The PT time must be adjusted according to your equipment

Application using Unity ProCreating the Program in SFC for Managing the Tank
At a Glance The main program is written in SFC (Grafcet). The different sections of the grafcet steps and transitions are written in LD. This program is declared in a MAST task, and will depend on the status of a Boolean variable.The main advantage of SFC language is that its graphic animation allows us to monitor in real time the execution of an application.Several sections are declared in the MAST task:
The Tank_management (See Illustration of the Tank_management Section, p. 31) section, written in SFC and describing the operate mode,
The Application (See Creating a Program in LD for Application Execution, p. 34) section, written in LD, which executes the pump start-up using the motor DFB, as well as the opening and closure of the valve.
The Simulation (See Creating a Program in LD for Application Simulation, p. 36) section, written in LD, which simulates the application. This section must be deleted in the case of connection to a PLC.
The Diagnostics (See Creating a Program in FBD for Application Diagnostics, p. 39) section, written in FBD, for returning application errors to the diagnostics display.
Note: The LD, SFC and FBD-type sections used in the application must be animated in online mode (See Starting the Application, p. 47), with the PLC in RUN.30

Application using Unity ProDescription of the Tank_management Section
The following table describes the different steps and transitions of the Tank_management Grafcet:
Step / Transition Description
Initial This is the initial step.
Initial_condition This is the transition that starts the pump. The transition is valid when the variables: Stop_cycle = 0, Run_cycle = 1, Tank_high_safety = 0, Lim_valve_closure = 1
Pump This is the step that starts the pump and filling of the tank until the high level is reached. This step activates the motor DFB in the Application section, which controls the activation of the pump.
No_fault This transition is active when the tanks high level is reached and the safety high level is set to 0.
Open_valve1 This step opens the valve to drain the tank. This step activates the valve DFB in the Application section, which controls the opening of the valve.
Drainage This transition is active when the tanks low level or safety low level is set to 1.
Close_valve1 This is the valve closure step. This step activates the valve DFB in the Application section, which controls the closure of the valve.
Normal This transition is valid when the low level of the tank and Lim_valve_closure are set to 1. In this case we skip to step S_1_2.
Safety This transition is valid when the low safety level of the tank and Lim_valve_closure are set to 1. Where this is the case, we return to the start of the cycle and wait for the safety variable to be reset, and the cycle to be restarted.
With_fault This transition is active when the High safety level of the tank has been reached, or the Stop_cycle button has been activated (Stop_cycle = 1).
Open_valve2 This step is identical to Open_valve1.
Tank_low_safety This transition is active when the low safety level of the tank is set to 1 (after the tank is drained following a stop cycle command, or following activation of the high safety level).
Close_valve2 This step is identical to Close_valve1.
Lim_valve_closure This transition is valid when Lim_valve_closure is set to 1. Where this is the case, we return to the start of the cycle and wait for the safety variable to be reset, and the cycle to be restarted.
Note: You can see all the steps and actions of your SFC by clicking on in front of the name of your SFC section.32

Application using Unity ProDescription of the Simulation Section
the first line is used to simulate the value of the Lim_valve_opening variable. If the valve opening command is given (Valve_opening_cmd = 1), a TON timer is triggered. When the PT time is reached, the TON output switches to '1' and increments the Lim_valve_opening output to '1' unless the valve closure command is given at the same time,
same principle applies to the Lim_valve_closure and Contactor_return outputs. the last part of the section is used for the simulation of the tank level and for
triggering the different tank levels. The OPERATE and COMPARE blocks from the library can be used to do this.
