CFCs in the process object view
6.7.1
Use of the Process Object View for valve control
Introduction
Now, work on the CFC_NK111 to CFC_NK114 charts. So far, you have stored the
"VALVE_Lean" process tag type in your master data library and created the four hierarchy
folders in the plant hierarchy.
Working with the process object view
To handle identical charts, PCS 7 SMART provides you with a convenient function, namely
the process object view. This means that you do not need open each individual chart in the
CFC Editor and assign parameters; rather, you can modify values quickly in a table within the
process object view.
The following preparations are necessary for this:
● Specify I/Os in the process tag type for the process object view (Page 98)
As the process object view does not visualize all I/Os for reasons of clarity, you must define
the I/Os to be shown. You define this once in the process tag type in the master data library.
● Insert the process tag type in the individual hierarchy folders and rename them (Page 100)
You are going to copy the process tag type from the master data library to all the hierarchy
folders in which you require the valve control.
● Adapt the values of the parameters in the process object view (Page 98)
The significant advantage of the process object view is that you can edit values quickly and
easily in a table.
