Catalog in the CFC Editor
Opening the catalog
To open the catalog in CFC Editor, select View > Catalog.
Organization of the catalog
The catalog contains four tabs namely:
● Blocks: Sorted according to block families. You can work with this tab in the "color_gs"
project in order to place the PARA_DOS_RM1_QTY block from the "Operate" directory in
the "CFC_SETP" chart.
● Charts: You can find all the charts you have created in the plant hierarchy. For example,
CFC_FC111, CFC_LI111. The CFC that is currently open and displayed in the CFC Editor
is labeled by a small open folder.
● Libraries: Contains all PCS 7 SMART standard libraries and your master data library.
You have already executed the "hide" function to hide all libraries that are not required to
configure the system in the ""color_gs" project. This means that you can only see the
"color_gs_prj_Lib" library.
● Unplaced blocks: You can find blocks that are not displayed in a CFC. Within the "color_gs"
project, this tab is not displayed since there are no "unplaced blocks" in your project.
