Configuration workflow

Introduction

This topic shows the recommended configuration sequence. The sequence is, by no means, mandatory but provides a logical and chronological approach to creating configurations.

• Some of the steps in the shown configuration process are optional and some are only required the first time you create a configuration.

Before you begin

Before you start building the configuration in the Definition program, we recommend that you go through the following checklist:

• Is the PLC program fully functional and does it support all your requirements?
• Have you tested the communication between the PLC and IGSS?

• This is easily done from the System Configuration program.

• Are all the required PLC addresses available?
• Have you discussed and agreed on the design of the user interface for the operator?

• Design issues include a logical division into areas and diagrams, access control, predefined graphs and reports and the use of colors.
