from right side panel

Page specific Menu commands, such as save and print for alarms.

Up navigation command changes the display to the “parent” page. Left / Right

navigation commands display the previous / next page relative to the

current page.

Option to switch between navigation tree representing

the Menu Configuration or

Equipment hierarchy

Click on the plus and minus signs next to the nodes to expand and

collapse items

Click on the menu item to open page in tab

Modern Templates – Alarm View

11

Equipment Design

An intuitive graphical user interface in whichan engineer can efficiently configure equipment templates and equipment hierarchy instances. Standardizes the configuration and reduce engineering time to deliver consistency bothwithin and across projects.

12

Equipment Editor

• Allows the creation, deletion, modification and updating from a centralized location of

• Equipment Instances (hierarchy)• Equipment Types (templates)

• This enables a reduction in the time required for engineering time and also minimizes the learning curve for engineers by simplifying the process

Equipment Editor accessed from Citect Explorer

13

Equipment workflow

• Create Equipment Types (templates)• Define the elements (associated tags) that belong to the Item • Define the fields of the element • Define the custom parameters (if needed) for the equipment type • Define the Accumulators and/or Equipment states for the equipment type

• Create Equipment instances (hierarchy) • Customise equipment field properties

• Update Equipment (Project Editor)• Auto-generates all the associated tags for the defined equipment instances

14

Equipment Editor – Types

Object Based Referencing

Delivering the capability for engineers togenerate equipment libraries by allowingthe creation of matching graphics anddatabase components

18

Object Based Referencing

• Now possible to access data points via equipment.item reference: • On graphic page• In Cicode functions• In CtApi• In Genie• In metadata in super Genie• Reading tag extension

• Not available when:• Reading alarm property as tag• Used as tag definition in alarm

or trend form (configuration)

Powerful Connectivity & Interoperability

Enabling two way data transfers from thecontrol level of the software suite, up to theenterprise level, or down to the device level. Customers will get the data they need, whereand when they need it.

21

EcoStruxure Web Services (EWS)

22

EWS Server• Real-time information only, not alarm or trend information
