LESSON 9

Creating a Graphic View During this lesson you will be following the outline given to create a graphic to functionally monitor and manipulate a Control Drawing with the Function Blocks shown on page 2. The example given represents the control for TANK1, while you will be building a graphic for TANK3. (TANK1 tags equal FC111-11, while TANK3 tags will equal FC111-13.)

A popular trend in today’s market is Gray Scale graphics, where most of the graphic is developed in shades of gray and color is used to indicate upset and alarm conditions.

You are encourage during this lesson to experiment beyond the given outline to explore features and functions that may be more in line with the graphic standards that you may be asked to follow.

ISA SYMBOLS AND GRAPHIC PRIMITIVES ISA Symbols The ISA symbols window can be displayed by clicking on the green valve symbol at the top of the Graphic Builder panel that displays “Parts”. Scroll down until the desired symbol is found, then click and drag it onto the desktop.

Graphic Primitives “Primitives” are the base graphic items such as: process data, polylines, process data bars, and text. They are created from the icons located at the top of the Graphic Builder panel. Viewing all Graphic Builder Icons Not all of the Graphic Builder icons are viewable from the builder window. Click on the items in the upper right-hand portion of the window and drag to the left-hand side. •

Items like screen sizing, snap to grid, and the grid display can easily be found this way.

LESSON 9

MODIFYING A PRIMITIVE Modifying a primitive allows the colors to be changed, and blinking to be added. Up to eight different modifications can be specified for the selected primitive and 200 modifications can be specified per panel. To modify a primitive, first, select the primitive to modify, then click on the right-hand mouse button and select “Properties”. Of course, different graphic primitives will have different items that can be modified. •

Shown on the preceding page is the modifier for “Process Data”.

Process Data Character Display Data Type: Process Data (Can’t be changed). Display Format: The user defines the format chosen from: •

Numeric Value, Percentage, Text, Hexadecimal, Date, Time, Tag List

Graphic Modification Change Type: When will the graphic modification occur, while the panel is displayed? •

Always execute

•

Execute the first time only (one shot)

Color Change: Select from the menu items the type of color change to occur. “Normal Color Change” allows the user to define a unique color scheme, chosen from “Change Color”. Change Color: If a color change is selected, then the color to be displayed when the condition is true is defined here. Blink: When “Yes” is selected, the primitive will blink when the requested condition is met. Two other types of blinking (for alarm or screen) can be selected. Change Text: This will allow a character string (but not the color) to be changed when the condition is met. This is selectable if “Text” is defined in “Process Data Character Display”. Condition Formula: This is the testing criteria used for modifying a graphic. Computational expressions such as ==, (not equal), >, ==, 50.0 FIC100.PV+FIC300.PVçFIC400.PV FIC100.MODE==“AUT” AND FIC100.PV>==75 FIC100.ALRM==“HI” OR “HH” •

One computational expression can have up to 8 data items; up to 200 computational expressions can be defined per window.

Continue the Condition Formula Parsing: Normally when a condition has been met the evaluation of the rest of the testing stops. If continue is selected, then the rest of the conditions are tested and all modifications are made as long as the conditions are satisfied. If two or more conditions are true for the same test, then only the modification of the last specified condition is made.

Using Linked Parts In this procedure you will use the pre-built pump with the rotating center and modify it so that the case turns red and the center stops rotating when the database object is off. When the pump is on, we want the case to be green and the center to rotate. •

Build a ’common switch’ (in your FCS) to be used to switch the pump off and on. Name it ‘PUMP_SWITCH’. This will be used to turn the pump symbol on and off from the graphic. Add the switch faceplate to the graphic by using a “Faceplate” from under “DCS Controls”.

•

Under “Pumps” choose “Pump 17” and drag it to your drawing.

•

Right click the pump in the graphic, select properties, and select the “Generic name Binding” tab as shown.

•

Click the ‘Define Local Bindings” checkbox so that is ‘checked’. You will probably want to click and drag the column heading drag bars so the Type, Generic and Binding columns are at their maximum width.

•

Notice that there are three generic names listed - $PUMP_TAG, $PUMP_ITEM, and $PUMP_DATA. You have to substitute (see next numbered steps) database tag names and values.

Database item entry window

•

Click on the “Database Item Entry Window” (see above figure) and enter: PUMP_SWITCH in the Value column. Be sure to hit the Change key. The pump is now attached with your switch. Notice that the “Binding” column now shows the switch name in every line where the “Generic Name” column contains $PUMP_TAG. In effect you assigned an actual tag name to the generic name.
