Components In a Control
Strategy About ProcessLogix control strategy configuration
You use ProcessLogix's Control Builder application to configure a
process Control Strategy using predefined function blocks. Since
Fieldbus Foundation had been functionally integrated with the
ProcessLogix system, the Control Builder enables the inclusion of
fieldbus related Function Blocks for easy integration of fieldbus
functions within the overall Control Strategy.
ProcessLogix R400.0 Control Builder includes a separate utility called
the Fieldbus Library Manager application. The Fieldbus Library
Manager provides the capability to create templates for fieldbus
devices based on the vendor supplied Device Description (DD). This
means each fieldbus device has an associated template for viewing
and defining the configurable attributes of its fieldbus function blocks.
These attributes include naming and identifying the component's
location within the network as well as setting device and channel
specific parameters, as applicable.
