Tools Used in Earlier Products
Quick Builder is a replacement for the following tools that were used in older
releases of the product:
• hdwbld
• pntbld
• bckbld
The procedures in this Guide assume that Quick Builder is the configuration tool
for points and hardware, and that pntbld, hdwbld, and bckbld are only used
for specific diagnostic purposes. If you have some particular reason for using the
older tools, refer to the Hardware and Point Build Reference for information
about them.
Control Builder
For information on Control Builder, refer to the PlantScape Process Control
Building Guide.
Station
Station is the user interface to PlantScape and includes setup and configuration
displays, as well as displays that operators can use for monitoring and controlling
plant processes.
Station can run on the server or on another computer connected to the server,
known as an operator Station.
This Guide shows you how to start Station, and how to use configuration displays
and other standard Station displays.
Display Builder
Display Builder is a tool that you can use to build custom graphical displays.
Because specialized staff are often employed for setting up the graphics and
animation for a custom display, Display Builder is described in a separate
publication, the Display Building Guide.
PlantScape is available with two versions of Display Builder. Display Builder
Classic allows you to build custom displays and save the displays in the propriety
dsp format. The new HMI Web Display Builder allows you to create custom
displays using Web-based features and save the displays in HTML format.
Display Builder can run on the server or on another computer in your system.
