Control Builder Introduction

Open and Operate Control Builder





Practice

The Purpose of this lesson is to demonstrate opening and operating Control Builder. After you complete this lesson you will be able to:

• Identify the tabs used to make structural changes to an existing Control Module.

• Identify the tabs used to change parameters online.

Prerequisites

• An Experion PKS Server

• The server name for your system (E20ESV##_Server), where the ## symbols represent your team number; will be supplied by your instructor.

Introduction

• Control Builder is one of the Experion PKS Engineering Tools.

• Controllers can connect to a server over FTE or over ControlNet.

• Control Builder can run on the server or an engineering workstation. If controllers are connected to the server over FTE, then a maximum of 12 Control Builder clients can connect to a single Experion server. If controllers are connected to the server over ControlNet, then a maximum of 4 Control Builder clients can connect to a single Experion server.

• The devices, as well as control strategies, are created in Control Builder and downloaded to the C200 Controller, C200E Controller, C300 Controller or ACE and the Experion PKS server.

• Configuration Studio is required to launch Control Builder.

• In this course you will use the Manager (mngr) account to log into configuration studio.

• The user name entered when logging on to Configuration Studio determines the access level of the user in Control Builder.

• View Only VIEW only

• Ack Only View and alarm acknowledgement

• OPER & SUPV Allow Operations

• ENGR & MNGR Allow Configurations






• The Experion PKS Operator profile can use a Windows account ID and password (Integrated Accounts).

• On a system with only one EPKS server, the Configuration Studio Connect window will show both a system and a server. Connecting to the system allows access to enterprise-wide configuration, while connecting to the server only allows access to server-specific configuration. Generally, it is best to connect to the system rather than the server.

• Identify the system and server from the icon, as shown below. The server is also categorized as Experion PKS Server in the Type column of the Connect window.

System/Server Icon Purpose

System

Use Configuration Studio to connect to a system to access the Enterprise Model Database.

Server

Use Configuration Studio to connect to a specific server.






Step Action

1 Click Start > All Programs > Honeywell Experion PKS> Configuration Studio.






Step Action

2 In the Connect window, from the Local Targets tab, select your Experion server (E20ESV##_Server).

(Note your server list may appear different than the one shown below.)

ATTENTION

The display, as seen above, might be different on your screen.

For the class, the Server Name is E20ESV##_Server, where ## is the Student number.

Verify that the server name shown in the property panel (in gray) is the same as the server name selected in the list above.






Step Action

3 Click Connect.

ATTENTION

Depending on the credentials used to log on to Windows, it may not be necessary to provide additional credentials (as shown) here.

In the Login to window, enter the following information:

User name: mngr

Password: mngr1

Domain: <Traditional Operator Security>

5 Click OK.






Step Action

6 In the Configuration Explorer tab, in the left-side pane, expand your server (click the “+” symbol next to the E20ESV##_Server – Server(Name), to expand the corresponding tree.

ATTENTION

For the class, the Server Name is E20ESV##_Server, where ## is the Student number.

7 Select Control Strategy.






Step Action

8 Select Configure process control strategies.

ATTENTION

The Control Builder application window will open.






Step Action

9 In the Control Builder application window, you will see a screen, as illustrated below:

Your access level appears in the lower right corner as shown.

ATTENTION

The status line at the bottom of the Control Builder application indicates:

1. Sync if the ERDBs are synchronized (only on redundant servers. The example above is a non-redundant server.).

2. The ERDB to which Control Builder is connected. This should always be ‘Primary’ which indicates that Control Builder is connected to the B server (the primary ERDB is always on the B server).

3. The Experion server to which Control Builder is connected.

4. The access level of the user.






Step Action

10 The toolbar gives you a graphical interface for accessing the different tools available in Control Builder. Some of the tools can also be found in the dropdown menus.

The details of the toolbar are as follows:

ATTENTION

You can also close the Tree Windows by selecting the

tree window and then clicking the button from the toolbar.






Step Action

2 Select View > Project/Monitor Tree to open the first Project/Monitor tree view on the left side of your screen. Repeat the same procedure to open a second Project/Monitor tree view on the right hand side of the screen.
