Stages of Control Strategy Configuration
What are the stages?
Configuration is the process of creating/editing a Control Strategy, best suited for your application, using
Function Block Diagrams, variables, and constants, Operator Interface Display assignments, Setpoint
Programs and Recipes, Data Storage and Event configuration. The configuration is essential to the
controller, since it defines your control strategies and operational displays.
Table 28 lists the stages of the configuration process as determined by the tasks required.
Table 28 Stages of configuration
