This knowledge base document do not intend to explain how to create a EPE supervision project but to give best practice advises on how to customize a EPE project based on General Purpose Library – GPL Situational Awareness. Software versions used in the kb: EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS 2019. GPL SA R2. This kb also apply to EcoStruxure Process Expert 2020 and further versions based on GPL SA. The GPL SA workspace include project is based on Citect Scada Situational Awareness template. The General Purpose Workspace leverage from Citect Scada Parameter Page Logo as show on the picture ... Keep reading this article to learn how to customize the GPL workspace with customer logo.

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.

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.
