Industry Sector, IA&DT ADVANCED LAYOUT OF UIS TRAINING OBJECTIVE After working through this module, the students have additional knowledge regarding the design of the user interface of an operator station. They are able to make additional information available on the detail level. To this end, they use adapted message lists and trend curves. The students are able to combine created composites into a user defined object and redesign existing objects as user defined objects.
Industry Sector, IA&DT THEORY HIERARCHY OF FLOW DIAGRAMS In chapter P02-01 the objectives of process control as well as of basic design concepts and techniques for OCM interfaces (operator control and monitoring interfaces) were described. Chapter P01-03 introduced the physical model of a system consisting of a plant, a plant section, equipment module and an individual control unit.
Industry Sector, IA&DT The Purpose of Curves Curves are displayed to show courses. By selecting different time horizons, different tasks can be implemented. Three variants exist in reference to the time the operator has the curve displayed. 1. The curve shows the past without the present. Such a curve is called history and is used for analysis. This can refer to a fault analysis but also to an analysis to optimize process control. 2. The curve shows the present with the recent past.
Industry Sector, IA&DT Acquisition and Storage of Curve Values For the displayed course to reflect the actual course, the sampling rate of the process value has to correspond at least to twice the change frequency of the process value. In most cases, this requirement can be met with cyclical acquisition every 1s [2]. In PCS 7, the sampling rate corresponds to the acquisition cycle of a process value. As long as a process value is not archive, only the pre-history of the process value can be displayed.
Industry Sector, IA&DT The curves should be displayed colored as continuous lines or as a series of dots. Color coding can be selected as required. The number of curves for each curve display field should be limited to six. The colors of the curves should be easily distinguishable from each other.
Industry Sector, IA&DT ACTIVEX CONTROLS Curves are configured in OS engineering of PCS 7 either by setting up curve groups (Chapter P02-03) or by using configurable ActiveX Controls. PCS 7 provides ActiveX Controls for alarms, curves, and tables. Curves can be used to display time characteristics (Online Trend Control) and also to display dependencies between process values (Function Trend Control). In the Online Trend Control, two different sources exist for displaying a curve.
Industry Sector, IA&DT USER DEFINED OBJECTS A user defined object (UDO for short) is an object that can be dynamical and consists of individual objects. At OS Engineering, we identify the properties that can be changed and select them for the user defined object. Thus, only the most important properties of all individual objects are visible and provide a good overview of the properties.
Industry Sector, IA&DT STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TASK In this task, the display structure will be expanded by another level in order to show more detail for the individual tanks and reactors. In the example, create in the display for reactor R001 a detail view with a bar display for the reactor level, an online trend display and a message window for displaying the alarms associated with Reactor R001.
Industry Sector, IA&DT 2. Then, adapt the settings of the plant hierarchy to the expansion. ( Tools Plant Hierarchy Settings) 3. The number of hierarchy levels is retained. However, at the third level a checkmark has to be placed at 'Included in HID‘; otherwise, there may be problems during simulation. ( Included in HID OK Yes) SCE Training Curriculum PA Module P03-01, Edition 09/2013 P03-01_AdvancedLayout_R1309_en.
Industry Sector, IA&DT 4. Then, the block icons have to be generated in the new picture. ( Reactor R001 Plant Hierarchy Create/Update Block Icons) 5.

Industry Sector, IA&DT 36. During the runtime of the PCS 7 project, the following trend is displayed in the picture ‘Reactor_R001’. 37. The steps below show how a number of objects can be grouped into a single ‘User defined object’. First, however, it is important that none of the included objects has been grouped. If such groups exist, they have to be ungrouped. ( Group Ungroup) SCE Training Curriculum PA Module P03-01, Edition 09/2013 P03-01_AdvancedLayout_R1309_en.
Industry Sector, IA&DT 38. Then, highlight all objects and right click on the selection. Now, select ‘Create customized object‘. ( Customized object Create) 39. In the configuration dialog, in the left window click on ‘User defined’ and select the first property of one of the customized objects that can be parameterized later in the finished user defined object. Drag this property into the left window to UserDefined2.
Industry Sector, IA&DT 40. In this manner, select from the object Bar1 the properties ‘Process Driver Connection’, ‘Maximum value’, ‘Minimum value’, ‘LimitAL’, ‘LimitWL’, ‘LimitAH’ and ‘LimitWH’. ( Bar1: Maximum value Bar1: Minimum value Bar1: LimitAL Bar1: LimitWL Bar1: LimitAH Bar1: LimitWH) 41. For the text window ‘Static Text2’ that describes the reactor, have the ‘Text’ displayed. Then, accept the user defined object with OK.
Industry Sector, IA&DT 42. Now, copy the finished user defined object to store it in the project library for later use. ( Copy) 43. Next, select the icon ‘ ’ to display the library. ( Project Library Insert ) 44. Next, change the name of the user defined object ‘customObject_reactor_V1_0’.

Next, set the other properties as shown here. Then close the window.
Industry Sector, IA&DT 49. Finally, we should position the faceplates (picture blocks) correctly, label and save them. 50. Now, we want to use the customized object in the picture ‘Reactor_R002.Pdl’. To this end, set up a new picture in the plant view of the SIMATC Manager in the folder Reactor R002, and compile the changes of the OS(1). SCE Training Curriculum PA Module P03-01, Edition 09/2013 P03-01_AdvancedLayout_R1309_en.
Industry Sector, IA&DT 51. Now open the picture ‘Reaktor_R002‘ in the Graphics Designer. ( Graphics Designer Reactor_R002.Pdl Open picture) 52. By clicking on the icon ‘ ’ the libraries are displayed; from the ‘Project Library’ drag the ‘customObjekt_reactor_V1_0’ into the picture. ( Project Library customObject_reactor_V1_0) SCE Training Curriculum PA Module P03-01, Edition 09/2013 P03-01_AdvancedLayout_R1309_en.
Industry Sector, IA&DT 53. In the properties you can now access, under ‘UserDefined’, the selected properties of the customObject. Thus, you created an object with a specific selection of properties that can be used again and again quickly and effectively. ( Properties Object Properties UserDefined) 54. Finally, set the geometry, the background color and the deselection of the color scheme as you did in Step 11. Now, arrange the faceplates and insert a picture title.
Industry Sector, IA&DT EXERCISES In the exercises, we apply what we learned in the Theory section and the Step by Step Instructions. To this end, we use and expand the existing multi-project from the step by step instructions (PCS7_SCE_0301_R1305_en.zip). We are creating a new user defined object for the tanks with an upper and lower sensor. It can also be used to generate detail displays for the other plant sections.
