Operating Overview; Accessing Displays - ABB 800xA Operation

Section 2 Getting Started

Operating Overview

The control packages (CCF, TCL, and TLL) provide automatic control functions
that may or may not involve operator interaction, depending upon the requirements
of each particular application. When operator interaction is required, the operator
interface is supported by the displays described in the following chapters. These
displays are based upon aspects of the object type templets described in 800xA for
MOD 300 Configuration (3BUR002417*). Refer to the System 800xA Operation
(3BSE036904*) user manual for basic topics regarding runtime operation.
The following major functions are supported by the operator interface:
•

Accessing Displays

Use the aspect browser, display associations and links to access displays described
in this user manual.
Loop Templet and FCM Templet displays are accessed from the Loop FCM
display. However, these displays are case sensitive to the tag name. If a valid tag
is SC5_3_PID1, entering Sc5_3_PID1 will not access the templet displays.
Accessing Displays Using Browser
The aspect browser, in the form of a tree-type control, is similar to Windows
Explorer and is used to access objects for display. Defined objects in this nested
view are categorized within logical structures. For example, MOD 300 objects get
imported into the Control Structure.
