Issue By assigning the I/O channels of the Modicon STB with symbolic names, you can significantly enhance the readability and maintainability of your automation projects. The development and debugging processes will be streamlined, documentation will be clearer, and communication will be enhanced by replacing each I/O channel with a meaningful symbolic name that appropriately describes the device or purpose connected to it. Modicon STB as Distributed I/Os Resolution In this article, we will explore the steps and best practices for assigning symbolic names to the I/O channels of the Modicon STB, ensuring a more efficient and organized approach to your automation tasks.

Objective This article describes how to unpack a 16-Bit Analog value acquired via MODBUS communication, into its individual bit components that can then be used as an Array of 16 Digital states. This is a common practice in many industry automation implementations to optimize the traffic between devices and as a strategy to reduce the number of variables read in from a device.

Issue In most projects related to mining it is necessary to integrate frequency inverters with their motor block respectively. Resolution This document will assist you in integrating a Mot1D engine block with the block for the Altivar Process ATV9xx Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Schneider Electric.

Issue & Resolution AVEVA Reports for Operations (Dream Report) provides a code-free configurable reporting solution preferred by many System Integrator's and End-users. This article guides the readers towards configuring the EcoStruxure Automation Expert Archive database as a data source for it. Steps are also provided to generate sample reports based on the archived data (values and alarms).

Objective The objective of this article is to guide us through data acquisition with EMSE over OPC UA. And we shall be going for full blown OPC UA security (the need for user authentication, Certificates and X.509 Token usage) so that we can experience what is involved to get it running. We shall be touching heavily on EcoStruxture OPC UA Expert as well because the simulation project will be running behind that, in a PLC Simulator.

Issue Need to create an easy integration of Modbus devices in EcoStruxure Automation Expert Resolution The Hardware CAT allows to integrate a fieldbus device, managing the communication parameters, the hardware abstraction layer, and the animated graphic symbol. The document describes how to create an Hardware CAT based on the creation of an STB island managed by an STBNIP2311. The example project archive is available in the download area.

Issue With today’s control system design and engineering techniques, it is easy to overwhelm a plant operator with alarms. Compliance to Alarm management standards and guidelines like ISA 18.2 and EEMUA 191 is also a key requirement. Alarm management is a continuous process and the alarm system itself is monitored during plant operation & maintenance for optimal performance. Alarm Adviser is a web-based alarm analysis tool that helps rationalize and identify nuisance alarms in the supervisory alarm system. Resolution Alarm Adviser is an easy to use tool which can be used for new as well as existing systems. The setup and configuration takes only a few minutes, but the analysis reports provide a wealth of information in a user-friendly format. Using this tool, the O&M Engineers can easily identify the nuisance or mis-configured alarms and optimize the alarm system to enhance the operator’s efficiency. Please see attached document which will help you in your first steps with Alarm Adviser.

Issue When a TeSysT is created from the Topology Manager in EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS, the DTM of the Generic Modbus Device is automatically added. This cannot be used to parametize the TeSysT inside EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS and other tools such as web interfaces or SoMove are required for this purpose Resolution The document attached describes the necessary steps to integrate the TeSysT Device DTM in EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS and connect it to the GPL TeSysT DFB. Hence, we will be able to parametize the TeSysT as if it were with SoMove.
