Scenario 2: Create a reusable diagram from scratch

Introduction

In this scenario we will create a new IGSS configuration where we work with the reusable diagram functionality. The scenario example will be a reusable diagram showing three different temperature regulators.

 

Example: The "Temperature Regulators" diagram

Based on a real-life IGSS configuration, we will use a diagram depicting a temperature regulator. To limit the amount of work, we've exported the diagram and all the objects into a Configuration Group File (.cgf). The .cgf file comes as part of your IGSS installation.

The diagram looks like this:

Scenario purpose

The purpose is to create a reusable diagram that can show three different sets of objects (defined as Group objects). The objects are as follows:

 

Group name

REG01_GRP (Control group)

REG02_GRP

REG03_GRP

REG01_TempCtrlPID

REG02_TempCtrlPID

REG03_TempCtrlPID

REG01_Setpoint

REG02_Setpoint

REG03_Setpoint

REG01_ActualValue

REG02_ActualValue

REG03_ActualValue

REG01_External

REG02_External

REG03_External

REG01_Table

REG02_Table

REG03_Table

REG01_Output

REG02_Output

REG03_Output
