Introduction to the CFC Editor
CFC Editor
CFC Editor is used to edit CFCs, insert and assign parameters to blocks. When you double
click a CFC, CFC Editor opens. The editor always opens in the last worked view.
The CFC Editor is separated into the following display areas:
● CFC
When you open an empty CFC, you can insert blocks required to describe continuous
processes. Later, you can assign parameters and interconnect the blocks.
● Catalog with blocks, libraries and CFCs
PCS 7 SMART saves all your work in the CFC Editor.
