1.3
Required system version
The process engineering application is supported from system version 03.
The system version of the measuring, control, and automation system is determined using the
compatibility index of the base unit. Further information on the compatibility index:

Brief description
The process engineering application is based on the functions of the measuring, control, and
automation system. It represents an extension of the standard PLC application and is offered
as a setup project.
The process engineering application is a sample application, which can be easily adapted to
customer-specific requirements in different industries (for example air-conditioning, meat pro-
cessing). It is independent from the hardware configuration of the system, with the exception
of the central processing unit and the multifunction panel.
Operation does not take place via the standard functions of the multifunction panel but via spe-
cial process screens. The PLC can switch process screens or change from the individual stan-
dard visualizations (controller, generator, and recorder screen) to a single process screen.
The process engineering application offers the following functions:
•
System user log-on
•
User administration
•
Display of the configured program generator via special process screens (overview screen,
detailed screen, detailed information)
•
Special process screen for the program editor
•
The program generator has easy-to-use button operation
•
Central processing unit event list
•
Alarm list for each program generator
•
Special PLC functions (section changeover, F value calculation, deltaT setpoint value cal-
culation) with simple configuration (no PLC knowledge necessary)
NOTE!
In this document the term "program generator" is used. A program generator is a function unit
within the central processing unit of the measuring, control, and automation system and it is
used to execute a program. For this, the program generator must be configured accordingly.
Up to nine program generators are available, so nine programs can be run simultaneously.
Therefore, for example, nine individual plants can be controlled.
1.5
Use
The process engineering application is supplied as a project file for the setup program.
In order to be able to use the process engineering application, the options "PLC" and "Program
generator with process steps" (central processing unit extra code) are required.
