Permissives with Bypass (P_Perm)
The P_Perm (Permissives with Bypass) Add-On Instruction is used to collect
(sum up) the permissive conditions that allow a piece of equipment to start (run,
energize, open, and so forth). Permissive conditions generally must be true to
start the equipment. Once the equipment is running, permissives are ignored.
Use the P_Intlk (Interlocks) Add-On Instruction to collect conditions that stop
running equipment and prevent it from starting.

Permissives with Bypass (P_Perm)
Guidelines
Use this instruction in these situations:
You have multiple or cascaded permissive conditions that prevent some
equipment (motor, valve, drive) from starting, but are ignored once the
equipment is running. Link the P_Perm instruction status bits to the
Inp_PermOK and Inp_NBPermOK inputs of the motor, valve, or drive.
You want configurable text descriptions of the permissive conditions and
other features of the P_Perm instruction faceplates.
Do not use this instruction in these situations:
You have conditions that shut down running equipment and prevent it
from starting. These are interlock conditions, not permissive conditions.
Use the P_Intlk instruction instead.
You have only one permissive condition for the equipment. You can
connect the condition directly to the permissive input on the device.
Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM007F-EN-E - April 2015
Permissives with Bypass (P_Perm)
Functional Description
The following diagram shows the functional characteristics of the P_Perm AddOn Instruction.
The P_Perm instruction provides the following capabilities:
Permissive input OK Check: evaluate the inputs; if they are all in their
configured OK state, set the All Permissives OK status to true.
Permissive bypass: evaluate the inputs that are not configured as
Permissives that can be bypassed; if they are all in their configured OK
state, set the 'All Non-Bypassable Permissives OK' status to true.
(See Permissives with Bypass Input Structure in the Controller Code
Section.)
Summary status: The P_Perm Add-On Instruction summarizes its 16
permissive input conditions into two primary status bits: Sts_PermOK,
which indicates that all permissive conditions are clear (ready to run), and
Sts_NBPermOK, which indicates that all permissive conditions that
cannot be bypassed are clear (ready to run if permissives are bypassed).
IMPORTANT
Whether permissives are bypassed or not is determined by the
downstream equipment instructions. The P_Perm instruction simply
provides the two summary status bits. These two bits are to be wired or
mapped to the equipment control logic.
Faceplate: The P_Perm Add-On Instruction faceplate displays the
permissive condition state of each input and whether it is bypassed, and
shows the overall permissive (summary) status. The Engineering tab of the
faceplate lets you configure the P_Perm Add-On Instruction for OK state
configuration, latch configuration, configuration of permissives that can
be bypassed, and the text that is associated with each permissive condition
input. You can also configure a navigation tag for each permissive
condition. If you enable navigation, the condition text on the Operator tab
of the faceplate can be clicked to open the faceplate for that corresponding
tag.
Rockwell Automation Publication SYSLIB-RM007F-EN-E - April 2015
Permissives with Bypass (P_Perm)
Add-On Instructions are reusable code objects that contain encapsulated logic
that can streamline implementing your system. This code lets you 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.
Required Files
Controller File
The P_Perm_3_1-00_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.

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.
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.

Operations
This section describes the primary operations for Add-On Instructions.
Modes
The P_Perm Add-On Instruction does not have modes and does not contain a
P_Mode instruction instance.
Alarms
The P_Perm Add-On Instruction does not generate any alarms. The individual
input conditions can be alarmed, if necessary, in other logic before they are sent
to the inputs of the P_Perm instruction. In many applications, status bits from
P_AIn Analog Input or P_DIn Discrete Input instructions are sent to the
P_Perm inputs.
ATTENTION: Status bits are normally used as permissive conditions. Use alarm
bits as permissive conditions only if you intend that the permissive condition be
ignored when the corresponding alarm is inhibited.
Simulation
The P_Mode Add-On Instruction does not have Simulation capability.
Execution
The following table explains the handling of instruction execution conditions.
Condition
Description
EnableIn False (false rung) Handling
Processing for EnableIn False (false rung) is handled by setting
the summary All Permissives OK and All Permissives (that
cannot be bypassed) OK status outputs to false (0).
Powerup/Prescan Handling (initial modes)
No prescan logic is provided.
Postscan (SFC transition) Handling
No SFC postscan logic is provided.

Permissives with Bypass (P_Perm)
Programming Example
This example uses the P_Perm instruction to concentrate the permissive
conditions that allow the start of a conveyor single speed motor.
Use these steps to import an Add-On Instruction to your project.
1. Right-click on Add-On Instructions and select Import Add-On
Instruction
2. On the Import Add-On Instruction dialog box, select the P_ Perm
instruction and click Import.
3. Add the P_ Perm instruction to your project by clicking the Add-On tab
on the Language Element toolbar and then clicking the P_ Perm
instruction. Also add the P_Motor instruction that controls the extracted
material conveyor.
4. Double-click the interlock instruction name and create the tag name for it.
The naming convention that makes this instruction work automatically is
to use the motors tag name followed by _Perm.
5. Create the input references necessary to ensure the appropriate operation
of the refiner plates and create their appropriate tags.
6. Expose the Sts_BypActive pin on P_Motor. Wire this pin back to
Inp_BypActive on P_Perm, and mark this wire 'Assume Data Available'.
The following image is what the instruction looks like when connected
correctly.
7. Save then download and run your Logix application.
8. In your HMI application, add a P_Motor motor graphic object from
P_Motor Graphics Library.ggfx and right-click on it.
9. From the list, select Global Object Parameter Values
