Type circuit building is a very important aid in the configuration procedure. A type circuit is the
largest common collection of PC elements which occurs at several places in the application
program.
A type circuit can be, for example, a certain type of feedback control loop or a panel control unit
with push buttons and lamps. An advantage obtained by working with type circuits is that the
work in designing the application program is reduced.
Instead of designing X program parts, one part is designed and used X times at different places,
perhaps with the addition of a minor PC element for adaptation in certain cases.
When the function of a type circuit is thoroughly verified in one application, the commissioning
of the remainder is much simpler. Another advantage is that the operator’s functions based on
type circuits become standardized.

This phase is carefully supported by separate documentation as mentioned earlier. Some general
notes and rules regarding application building and structuring are also given in Section 3.1.6.1,
Application Building with AMPL, where the subject is dealt with from other vantage points.
