A Controller fault is indicated when the red E LED is blinking. In this state, the node
LEDs (O1, O2, R3, R4, and Q5) will blink the actual error code as two separate binary
numbers followed by a 3-second pause (all node LEDs off, 0000). This sequence
repeats as long as the error state persists. Open the GMD (General Message Display)
for an actual readout of the error code in hexadecimal.
Refer to the Ovation Error Codes Reference manual for information on the error codes.

Controller I/O Module Address Format


Addressing Format
The logical I/O address is composed of three numbers (four when remote I/O is used) separated
by decimal points in the following format.
D = Device number assigned to the I/O device (1-5).
N = Node number (only used for remote I/O; 1 through 8)
B = Ovation Branch (1 through 8) or Q-Line Crate (1 through 4).
S = Slot where module is configured (1 through 8 for Ovation I/O; 1 through 12 for Q-Line
I/O)
See examples on the following pages.

I/O Module LEDs


Information about I/O module LEDs are located in the Ovation I/O Reference manual.

Long control LC Long Control or Algorithm points are created while building and
modifying control sheets using Ovation Control Builder. See Control
Builder Users Guide for more information on algorithm point names.
Note: There are no standard Emerson Process Control Power & Water Solutions
point names for these record types and therefore, no examples are given.

12

Point Information Search Window

Wild cards can be


used in name, alias,
and description fields

Use the left window to define the level you want to search. Searches can be done at
the Drop, Unit, or Network level.
Use the right window, via the Filter pull down menu on the Find Points window, to
narrow the search using wild cards and/or pull down options.

* = Point Information multi-character wild card


? = Point Information single character wild card

Point Review Window


Point Review allows the Ovation user to see the current status and checking
configuration for points. The user can specify the parameters they want to search and
then have the Point Review tool help them find points meeting the specified criteria.
Once the search is complete, the user has the option of modifying attributes on any or
all points. (See guidelines on page 16.)

Drop Load Recommendations

Read all bullets prior to loading controllers.

Use the Developer Studio to perform a Consistency Check on the controller pair
prior to actually loading the controllers. Fix all items that are listed that may
cause problems during / after the Load.

Use the Developer Studio to perform a Reconcile on the controller prior to


actually loading the controllers.

ONLY RECONCILE THE CHANGES YOU

KNOW ARE VALID. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ASK OTHERS.

Load the controller in control first. DO NOT ASSUME! Use your system status
graphic to verify which controller is in control and back up.

Only Load the backup controller after you verify proper operation of the points
and controls.

Note that the Drop Details graphic indicates Powertools and/or Partner
mismatches. Some customer system status graphics may also reflect mismatch
conditions.

Drop Load after making a relatively small number of changes Dont Stockpile

If possible only induce failovers when plant is running at steady state conditions
or when the unit is offline.

Control Application for Packed Point

Output of a PACK16 algorithm is a


packed point. Each bit represents
the status of a digital input point.
The PBPT output of control
algorithms are packed points.

Common Uses of Packed Points include:

Mode words for control algorithms

Status feedback for motors, pumps, valves, etc

Permissives for starting, stopping, and controlling field devices
