Control Builder function
The Control Builder enables you to configure control strategies by:
• Creating Function Block Diagrams
− Inserting Function Block symbols and other constants or variable symbols onto a Function Block
Diagram
− Functionally connecting the symbols
− Invoking Function Block configuration forms
− Loading the control strategy to the process controller
− Monitoring the strategy by showing the states of inputs and outputs
• Configuring Operator Interface Displays
− Define signals to be monitored
− Assign signals to bar graphs, trends, overview, loops and other display groups
− Assign operator pushbutton and selector switch display actions and labels
− Assign selected display groups to keyboard buttons
− Assign Security to the Operator Interface
• Creating Setpoint versus Time Profiles
− Entering Ramp and Soak Segments
− Entering Segment Event Information
− Synchronizing Programs
• Creating Setpoint Schedules
− Set up Operator Interface Display Labels
− Configure a suite of Setpoint Scheduler blocks for multi-setpoint control. A single schedule may be
up to 50 segments in length and includes auxiliary block data. Up to 10 schedules may be stored in
the controller’s memory
− Configure up to 8 ramp or soak outputs operating on a common time base. It accepts one PV for each
setpoint. Setpoint guarantee
is provided for the master (SPS) block setpoints with a single
symmetrical value for each setpoint output. You can assign a failsafe value for each setpoint.
• Creating Controller Recipes
− Selecting analog and digital variable names
− Setting Analog values and Digital States to assign to those variables (when the recipe is loaded)
• Configuring Data Storage and Events
− Configure storage of Trends, Unit Data samples, and Alarm/Events.
− Configuring up to 32 digital event signals in the controller
