How to Use This Guide
“Configuration Overview” on page 5 introduces you to the main configuration
tasks and tools, and shows you where they are described in this Guide.
The “Configuration Tutorial” on page 13 gives you hands-on experience in
performing basic server configuration tasks, and is particularly intended for those
who are new to PlantScape. It shows you how to start Quick Builder and
introduces its key features. Quick Builder is used to configure Stations, printers,
controllers, and standard points.
Configuring the server is described in the chapters listed below. These chapters
do not, however, provide controller-specific configuration information. When
configuring controllers for your system, you also need to refer to:
• The controller-specific online reference information that comes with Quick
Builder
• The hardware documentation and third-party software documentation for
the devices that you will be using in your system
If your system uses the PlantScape Control Processor, you will also need to refer
to the PlantScape Process Software documentation.
