In 2019 EcoStruxure Process Expert was released with a new General Purpose Library for Situational Awareness – GPL SA - as its default library. This is a new library and while functionally like previous General Purpose Library – GPL Classic - there is no direct upgrade between the libraries. Instead the existing library is maintained and supported for existing customers. If projects or customers want to leverage the new general process library, they must migrate their project between the libraries and re-draw their graphics screens...

Introduction The GPL Communication library contains objects managing explicit messaging for Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU technologies. This document will summarize how to manage devices on serial lines connected to BMXNOM0200 module on M580 X80 drops on EcoStruxure Process Expert/ Hybrid DCS platform Resolution Please see attached document where it explains how to manage devices on serial lines connected to BMXNOM0200 on M580 drops on EcoStruxure Process Expert/ Hybrid DCS platform.

Background Many of us are experienced EcoStruxure Process Expert (formerly EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS) users. With our extensive experience, we normally just jump straight into any new versions of EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS and we are on our way. However, since EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS 2019, we have a choice to use either the Classic GPL, or the new and widely promoted Situation Awareness GPL. Using these SA GPL correctly requires the use of the correct SA styled page templates in Citect SCADA. This can be a discovery process to some, and it takes time. Objective Objective This video condenses some key knowledges into 3 basic topics to get you started right away. They are: Creating supervision pages in EPE to use SA styled page templates. Configuring the navigation area of SA styled page templates. Different types of SA styled master layouts.

Issue In some network architectures, the transparency of the network is necessary to be able to do configuration and commissioning from a local engineering station without having to go to the field, reducing the time of downtime and commissioning. Resolution This document explains the configuration of the BMENOC0321 Network Card to obtain transparency in the network without the need for the use of L3 switches.

Issue This document outline some of the user experience with respect to supervision project performance while using EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS. Use cases are like slow page update, alarm / trend & communication errors when dealing with large scale projects. There are multiple factors which effects supervision performance, however, can be finetuned with user experience. Majority of them are covered in this document to address such scenario. This gives better understanding and help user to improve supervision performance. Resolution Enter resolution.

This knowledge base document do not intend to explain how to create a EPE supervision project but to give best practice advises on how to customize a EPE project based on General Purpose Library – GPL Situational Awareness. Software versions used in the kb: EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS 2019. GPL SA R2. This kb also apply to EcoStruxure Process Expert 2020 and further versions based on GPL SA. The GPL SA workspace include project is based on Citect Scada Situational Awareness template. The General Purpose Workspace leverage from Citect Scada Parameter Page Logo as show on the picture ... Keep reading this article to learn how to customize the GPL workspace with customer logo.

How to Enable Native Citect Scada OPC DA Server on EcoStruxure Process Expert? In EcoStruxure Process Expert 2019 (former HDCS) and previous versions the communication between the supervision participant Citect Scada and Modicon PAC controllers are handle by OFS – OPC Factory Server. The OFS is an OPC DA Server which is installed in the same server as the EPE operation server(s). Whenever a third-party software needs to collect data from EPE it can be done by connecting to OFS Server in either primary or standby operation server. This solution using OFS Server as an unique OPC DA Server to interface with other system works fine but some customers standard or customers best practice doesn’t allow other systems to collect data direct from the controllers. These customers prefer third-party software collecting data from the supervision servers. Another motivating force to have an OPC DA server enabled on supervision participant is that some projects could have calculate variables on supervision which does not exist on control project...

All control projects require some level of time synchronization. The time synchronization serves a fundamental role in any network, but it's too often added as an afterthought. However, it can mean the difference between correctly troubleshooting in minutes and returning the production to the desired level or having no idea about what caused production lost. The Network Time Protocol is a client-server protocol and has been widely adopted in all kind of Industries since 1985. It is a low-cost solution that can be easily applied for all EcoStruxure Process Expert architectures.

Introduction According standard EtherNet/IP protocol, there are 2 types of messaging EtherNet/IP implicit messaging EtherNet/IP Explicit messaging This exercise will assist to know EtherNet/IP concept and how to implement EtherNet/IP implicit messaging within EcoStruxure Process Expert solution approach. Note: this procedure is validated and tested with EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS 2018 The concept of implementation is the same for later version of EcoStruxure Process Expert (EPE) (new name for EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS). Resolution Please see attached document for detailed implementation.
