System architecture
Engineering with PROGRAF AS+
Configuration of
PROGRAF AS+/NT can be used to generate
These library elements include process functions, user function blocks and programs.
When storing on a server, central libraries can be produced for networked PCs, thus permitting several engineers to access the current library objects.
Special library elements in PROGRAF AS+/NT are the
Standard diagrams are generated by transferring an individual function diagram into a library. They are automatically assigned general diagram variables. The configuring engineer can also define his own variables. The desired standard diagrams can be called from the library and assigned the respectively required data for the variables.
Complete, automatically generated documentation
Complete documentation includes the following individual doc- uments:
•List of contents
•Graphic documentation of block configurations (function dia- grams)
•Graphic function diagrams of the STEP programs
•Structograms of the TML programs for user function blocks
•Documentation of TML and STEP programs and process dis- play instructions in the form of lists
•Documentation of the block sequence, the blocks not inserted into the processing sequence, as well as the driver and cou- pling blocks in the form of lists
•Various
The documentation is independent of whether
PROGRAF AS+/NT was used for configuring or whether the data have been read out of an automation system and decompiled.
Documentation of individual parts of the AS configuration is also possible.
Central workstation for control engineer
Complete configurations, delta loading lists (only changes in configuration) and partial configurations (for test purposes) can be loaded by PROGRAF AS+/NT into the automation systems.
PROGRAF AS+/NT also permits the central exchange of
During the commissioning phase, PROGRAF AS+/NT is the cen- tral engineering workstation for the control engineer. A local AS configuration desktop is emulated on his monitor like with the AS 235 system (AS terminal emulation). The process variables are updated cyclically.
Central online commissioning
with AS terminal emulation and display of dynamic values and curves directly in the function diagram editor, e.g. for optimiza- tion of control loops. Up to four process values can be displayed as curves. Parameters modified in this online mode can also be written into the database of PROGRAF AS+/NT in order to guar- antee data consistency.
Data import and export
There are external interfaces from the database: data from exter- nal planning tools can be imported into PROGRAF AS+/NT.
