Issue One of AOA’s (EcoStruxure Augmented Operator Advisors) most used features is the step-by-step procedures. These procedures are performed by operators, and the data of which procedure was made, by who, and when are stored in the AOA runtime PC, on a note.db file. These data are important when it comes to traceability. This knowledge base shows how you can retrieve this historical data through SQL. Resolution Enter resolution.

In 2019 EcoStruxure Process Expert was released with a new General Purpose Library for Situational Awareness – GPL SA - as its default library. This is a new library and while functionally like previous General Purpose Library – GPL Classic - there is no direct upgrade between the libraries. Instead the existing library is maintained and supported for existing customers. If projects or customers want to leverage the new general process library, they must migrate their project between the libraries and re-draw their graphics screens...

Issue Having an agnostic approach when it comes to automation and decoupling the software from the hardware have been on the mind of many customers and a clear requirement from the industry. Resolution With the latest technology and thanks to a container approach, this is today possible with EcoStruxure Automation Expert runtime.

Issue Dynsim provides the full power of rigorous dynamic simulation and high-fidelity control system emulation for process engineers, control engineers, plant operators, and plant managers to optimize plant design and operation. AVEVA APC provides the integrated capability to develop, implement, and support model-predictive control and optimization strategies. These strategies tighten the control of the key variables in a process and push the process as a whole closer to the economic optimum. Resolution This workshop steps through the usage of these offers, See the attachment for all the details.

Issue Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) is a microprocessor-based device of power system equipment that can receive and sent data from and to controller of a process control system. Schneider Electric have several IED such as: Tesys T and Altistart for motor starter purpose, and Altivar process drive. Profinet is an industry technical standard for data communication between controllers and devices over Industrial Ethernet. Profinet is developed from Profibus by Profibus & Profinet International (PI). Profinet have its own redundancy system that is defined into four types: S1, S2, R1 and R2. This document is aimed to provide a report about possible methods can be deployed in order to make IED without built-in Profinet S2 capability to comply with Profinet-S2 redundancy system. Resolution Please find resolution in the attached PDF file.

Issue Using Modbus serial communication with third-party equipment requires complex logic to manage priorities and diagnostics. Resolution The General Purpose library (GPL) has powerful functions and only needs a simple configuration for the implementation of this communication. This document shows the implementation of a serial Modbus client and scanner communication, in EcoStruxure Process Expert. The GPL library is also available for EcoStruxure Control expert as a standalone library and the two examples described can be easily reused on this software platform.

Background With the advent of IIoT integration into many industry solutions, one of the most common requests nowadays is with regards to the messaging. Objective In this knowledge base article, we will show how Citect can be made to send a message to Microsoft Teams. This is useful in situations where Citect needs to urgently alert a recipient on some critical matters occurring in the plant. Although this knowledge base is made around Microsoft Teams, the concept can be similarly applied to other messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Line and even Facebook Messenger.
