About load operations
The Experion system provides the ability to build control strategies offline, without being
connected to the actual field components. The process of transferring the Control
Strategy to the "live" working components in the field is called the load operation.
The load operation functionally copies configuration data from the control strategy that is
stored in the Engineering Repository Database (ERDB) to the assigned field component
in the system architecture. The load operation has been expanded to include fieldbus
components. It indirectly assures that the planned system matches the actual one. The
communication addresses and physical location assignments specified for components
through Control Builder configuration must match the actual addresses and locations of
components in the system. The following illustration shows a simplified graphical
representation of what happens during a load operation.
