Working with Process Control Strategies
This section describes the necessary steps to create a process control strategy, compile
the strategy, download to the simulator and/or the controller, and then debug the strategy
using real time data. If you do not have a Hybrid or Process controller, this section does
not apply to you.
Creating a Process Control Strategy
Applies to: Hybrid and Process Controllers
To create a process control strategy, start by creating a new drawing; add blocks and
connectors to the drawing, and then compile the drawing.
1. Right-click the controller and select
Drawings | New Drawing
. The
Create New
Drawing
dialog appears.
Note
: This process creates a blank drawing. The Workbench has a number of
predefined templates to assist in quickly creating drawings for common
operations (PID, Motor Control, etc.). Click
From Template
to utilize this feature.
For more information about using the
From Template
feature, refer to the
Creating a Drawing from a Template
lab in the
Templates
section of the
Process Control Training Guide.
