Application Configuration and Commissioning
The programming and configuration of the FX16 Master Controller is
done using the navigation trees and graphic screens of FX Builder.
FX Builder is part of the FX Tools Pro software package.
The applications are generated in a graphic screen environment with
many features that help you build the application quickly and
accurately. The applications are built from standard function blocks and
control objects that you can nest in custom assemblies, which you can
save for reuse in other applications. The tool offers complete flexibility
in the generation of applications but has the features to save and reuse
existing assemblies and standard applications where appropriate for an
economic solution.
The configuration includes the definition of the devices to connect, the
physical inputs and outputs and data points to monitor, and the format
of the user interface. If a Web browser monitors the FX16 Master
Controller, FX Builder provides the environment for the design of the
Web pages and the data content for display on the browser screen.
You can define the communication parameters for supervisory functions
and event messaging in FX Builder. You can define user profiles with
passwords to protect the FX16 Master Controller from unauthorized
access. In FX Builder, you also configure trend logs, generate time
schedules, and define event messages.
FX Builder builds the control functions that the FX16 Master Controller
executes. FX Builder builds these control functions using data from
monitored controllers and commands from the integral or remote
display, embedded Web server, SMS messages, or a supervisory system
(if connected to the controller via a communications card).
In particular, FX Builder builds a distributed application or Gateway
object application that encompasses the control functions of the FX16
Master Controller and up to 16 Facility Explorer controllers on its local
link bus.
