9.3.2 Methods of programming F-CIM
There are two methods for configuring F-CIM. They are:
1. From the controller’s front panel
2. From Micro-Tools - The F-CIM Control Strategy can be configured using the Micro-
Tools F-CIM graphical editor. F-CIM function blocks are graphically placed on a
worksheet and the connections between them are drawn as connecting lines. The
resulting control strategy can be downloaded to the controller via a communication
port.
Using Micro-Tools to configure F-CIM is easier and more convenient than configuring
from the front of the instrument. We will cover both the methods in this lab.
