Building the Functional Structure
Objects used to access data from the PLCs are placed in the Control Structure
according to which OPC server and PLC that contains the retrieved properties.
It is also feasible to organize the objects in a functional way reflecting the
functionality of the objects in your plant. To perform this, objects should be placed
in the Functional Structure to reflect the functions in the plant. Then Objects in the
Control Structure should then be inserted into the Functional Structure.
Building objects are described in Industrial
Configuration instruction.
To create the objects in your Functional Structure, follow the steps below:
1. Go to the Functional Structure and select the "<Plant name>" object.
2. Click on the object and select the "Name" aspect. Change the name to the name
of your Plant.
