The definition for an area model is contained in a configuration file (.cfg) that
you build using the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor. In this exercise, you
will look at a configuration file, ice_cream.cfg, which was installed with
FactoryTalk Batch.
To open a sample area model:
1. From the File menu, select Open, or select the Open toolbar button.
The Open dialog box opens.
2. Select ice_cream.cfg, and then select Open to open the file. The Classes
View area displays the icon that represents the PARLOR process cell
class, which is used to create the process cells shown in the Design
View area. The WEST_PARLOR process cell displays in the Design
View area.
The FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor window is divided into two main
areas: Classes View and Design View.
• The Classes View displays the existing cell classes, unit classes, phase
classes, or operation sequence classes in the active area model. The
column heading reflects the active level. Double-click or right-click an
icon to open the Edit dialog box for the item.
• The Design View is used to construct the area model and display the
layout of the active level. In the select mode, double-click an item to
display the layout of the next lower level. Right-click the item to open
the Edit dialog box.
The FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor also has a menu bar and toolbar.
Take a moment to examine the menus and the tooltips for each toolbar icon.
(See the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor User Guide for more information on
the menus and toolbar icons.)
