Preface
About This Publication
The purpose of this quick start is to describe how to apply application templates to start development of your PlantPAx™
Process Automation System. Basic procedures explain how to configure pre-built controller and human-machine interface
(HMI) templates to provide an application framework with these goals:
• Provides a consistent starting point for system implementation
• Promotes a standardized application framework for control systems and process skids to provide a unified
system experience
• Reduces implementation risks and promotes application practices for optimal system performance
This guide walks you through the tasks for applying the templates that provide a starting point for your application specific
code. In
, the lesson goals are underlined per chapter.
Figure 1 - Quick Start Manual Scope
The application templates described in this guide are downloaded from the Knowledgebase Answer ID 62682 at
. Typically, you apply application templates on your Process Automation
System Server (PASS) and HMI visualization client by using the Engineering Workstation (EWS). Once the templates are
applied, you run your application on the Operator Workstation (OWS) to review results.
IMPORTANT
Before using this guide, you must have an installed system available to follow the procedures in this guide. You also need to make
sure your system is properly sized by using the PlantPAx System Estimator (PSE). The PSE is part of the Integrated Architecture™
Builder (IAB) tools.
