CUSTOM CONFIGURATION
It is recommended that the procedures in
be completed
before starting.
NOTE:
To start fresh, initialize the controller (Fig.
A-12
).
Configuration of custom control strategies can be accomplished by a
number of devices. The Type CTT Configuration and Tuning Terminal
operates through a connector on the faceplate of the Type SLC con-
troller and is used to design, modify, tune, simulate, troubleshoot and
document a given control strategy. Refer to Table
for the Type
CTT instruction number.
Other configuration software tools operate via a PC over the module
bus, assigning function codes to function blocks. The first of these,
LAN-90, contains configuration loading system (CLS), which is used
to configure the Type SLC controller. LAN-90 Process Control View
software revision 4.3 or later is the minimum requirement for 100 per-
cent compatibility with the Type SLC controller. The CLS system can
download a configuration to a printer for hard copy documentation.
Another ABB software tool, CAD/TXT (Computer Aided Drawing/
Text), contains two configuration programs. CAD/TXT software revi-
sion 5.2.2 or later is the minimum requirement for compatibility with
the Type SLC controller. Software revision 5.3 is recommended for
100 percent functionality. CAD/TXT contains TXT, a DOS-based soft-
ware tool used to configure the controller much like the Type CTT
terminal does. CAD/TXT also contains CADEWS, a CAD-based sys-
tem used to design, modify, tune, trend, simulate, troubleshoot and
document a given control strategy. Once a control strategy is config-
ured, it can be directly downloaded to the controller or sent to a plot-
ter or printer. Once a CADEWS configuration is compiled, it is
downloaded to the controller over the Plant Loop or over the module
bus, provided that the controller is in the configure mode. Refer to
Table
for instruction numbers of software tools.
