CFC Charts in the Plant Hierarchy
The PCS 7 "New Project" wizard has already created a CFC chart in your plant hierarchy. This
is stored in the "ADDIT" folder. It does not yet contain any blocks. You have to insert them in
the CFC Editor.
In addition, you require other charts for the "color_gs" project , which you insert in the plant
hierarchy and then edit in the CFC Editor.
It is important that you assign brief descriptive names for all CFC charts of the "color_gs" project
to understand your project in a better way.
