In this example, we create a template for a number of pumps. We will later create a new pump based on that template.
Open the CONF table and insert a new record by clicking
at the bottom of the screen.
Insert the following properties:
AREA = Global
ENAME = PUMPS
ETYPE = 33024
Open the ATOM table and fill in the atom-specific properties, such as PLC address (data group, word offset and bit offset), I/O mode, etc.
Open the DIG_TEMPLATE table and insert the properties that are specific to digital templates: bit maps for states and commands, alarm bits, single bits and consecutive alarms.
Open the DIG_CMD table and map each command number to the appropriate command name.
Open the DIG_STATE table and map each state number to the appropriate state name.
Open the DEFAULTCMD table and map each digital state to its default command.
Open the INVALIDCMD table and create a list of commands which are invalid for a given state. The commands which are not listed here are thus valid.
Open the DIGITAL table and fill in the initial state for the pump and define the alarm numbers (only if you use individual alarm numbers). If you use consecutive alarm numbers, the first number is shown in the ATOM table.
Result: The pump template is now complete. We will then create the first pump based on the template. Click the button below for details.
