Client-server model
1 The client-server model enables multiple engineers to work concurrently on the
same project. The central repository (single global database) enables active
services to share information across all automation system components as well as
share real-time engineering data with all users, thus helping to maintain data
consistency.

2 Network consistency
Client-Server model The accuracy and consistency of the network design can be analyzed and
automatically validated with just one click. Detected errors or warnings are reported
with detailed instructions for easy correction.

3 System diagnostics
The system diagnostics provides live statistics for the entire plant during the
operation or commissioning phase. Detected errors are localized and analyzed in
real time. The intuitive interface also helps to easily visualize these detected errors
and resolve them quickly to boost efficiency.

FDT/DTM function
EcoStruxure Control Expert facilitates integration of fieldbus architectures into
engineering control systems using FDT/DTM technology:
b FDT (Field Device Tool) is the container which supports the device DTMs.
1
b DTM (Device Type Manager) is the configuration tool for devices with integrated
graphic interfaces. It contains the properties specific to each device.
In addition to the FDT/DTM standard, the software uses specific information from
the Master DTM created for the Profibus Remote Master (PRM) module, the HART
module, the Premium ISPY101 weighing module, Altivar process drive integration, and
the Modbus/TCP and EtherNet/IP network modules BMXNOC0401 and BMENOC03p1. 2
DTM editor (Modicon STB island) Use of the Master DTM allows EcoStruxure Control Expert to perform the following
actions:
b Manage the PAC I/O scan
b Create the application variables based on the description of the process objects
available from the connected DTM devices
b Manage synchronization with the PAC configuration
b Create a generic DTM from the description files (GSD or EDS)
3
The DTM configuration is stored in the PAC memory so that the application can be
DTM hardware catalog downloaded in its entirety. It is also saved in the PAC project file (STU), the archive
file (STA), and the full application exchange file (ZEF).
A third-party DTM can be installed in the DTM hardware catalog. The DTM
hardware catalog can be used to sort or filter the DTMs according to various criteria
such as device, vendor, groups, or protocols.
4
The DTM Browser in EcoStruxure Control Expert:
b Displays the fieldbus topologies in a tree structure
b Allows the user to configure the DTM devices:
v add and delete DTMs
v connect and disconnect DTMs to/from their physical devices
v display and print the properties of a DTM 5
v transfer DTM configuration data to and from the physical device
v execute functions specific to the DTM, via the Device menu
DTM Browser and DTM context menu
The fieldbus discovery function scans the physical devices in a fieldbus network
and adds the selected devices to the DTM Browser.
DTM Audit Tool is provided to have a clear vision of the DTM versions embedded in
a project and the versions installed on the PC. Depending on the DTM version
compatibility, the tool informs the user if the project can be opened and built.
6
Programming languages
The five IEC 61131-3 compliant languages
The five graphical or textual languages available in EcoStruxure Control Expert are
used for programming Modicon M340, Modicon M580, Modicon M580 Safety,
Modicon Momentum, Premium, and Quantum automation platforms.
7
The three graphical languages are:
DTM Audit Tool screen b Ladder (LD) language
b Function Block Diagram (FBD)
b Sequential Function Chart (SFC) or Grafcet
The two textual languages are:
b Structured Text (ST)
8
b Instruction List (IL)
For these five languages, you can use the standard set of instructions compliant
with IEC standard 61131-3 to create applications that can be transferred from one
platform to another. EcoStruxure Control Expert software also provides extensions
to this standard set of instructions. As they are specific to Modicon M340, Modicon
M580, Modicon M580 Safety, Modicon Momentum, Premium, and Quantum 9
automation platforms, these extensions support the development of more complex
applications in order to maximize the potential of the specific features of each of
these platforms.

LL984 language

FBD language editor

LL984 (Ladder Logic 984) language enables migration from legacy Modicon ranges.
It is used to program Modicon M580, Modicon M580 Safety, Modicon M340, 10
Momentum, and Quantum automation platforms.

Data editor
The data editor provides a single tool for performing the following editing tasks:
b Declaration of data including variables and function blocks (declaration of their
type, instances, and attributes)
1
b Use and archiving of function block data types in different libraries
b Hierarchical view of data structures
b Searching, sorting, and filtering of data
b Creation of a hyperlink to access a description from any variable comment

Data editor
The data is displayed in four tabs:
b “Variables” tab for the creation and management of the following data instances:
2
bits, words, double words, inputs/outputs, tables, and structures
b “DDT Types” tab for the creation of derived data types (tables and structures)
b “Function Blocks” tab for the declaration of EFBs and DFBs
b “DFB Types” tab for the creation of DFB user function block data types

Each data element has several attributes, of which:

b Variable name and type are mandatory
3
b Comment, physical address in the memory, and initial values are optional

The data editor columns can be configured (number of columns, order). The
attributes associated with a variable can be displayed in a properties window.
Data properties
This editor can be accessed at any time during programming by selecting variables
for data modification or creation.

DFB user function blocks

With EcoStruxure Control Expert software, users can create their own function
blocks for specific application requirements on Modicon M340, Modicon M580,
Modicon M580 Safety, Modicon Momentum, Premium, and Quantum platforms. 5
Once created and saved in the library, these user function blocks can be reused as
easily as EFBs (elementary function blocks).
Design
The user function blocks can be used to structure an application. They are used
when a program sequence is repeated several times in the application or for freezing
a standard programming routine. They can be read-only or read/write. They can be 6
exported to other EcoStruxure Control Expert applications.

Using a DFB in one or more applications:

b simplifies program design and entry
b improves program readability and understanding

7
b facilitates program debugging (variables handled by the DFB are identified in the
data editor)
b enables the use of private variables specific to the DFBs, which are independent
of the application

Creating the code A DFB is set up in several stages:

b The DFB is designed by assigning a name, a set of parameters (inputs, outputs,

8
public and private internal variables) and a comment to it via the data editor.
b The code is created in one or more sections of the program, with the following
languages selected according to requirements: Structured Text, Instruction List,
Ladder, or Function Block Diagram (ST, IL, LD, or FBD).
b The DFB can be stored in a library with an associated version number.
b A DFB instance is created in the data editor or when the function is called in the
program editor.
b This instance is used in the program in the same way as an EFB (the instance can

Function block libraries

The function and function block libraries manager contains the elements provided
1 with EcoStruxure Control Expert software. Functions and function blocks are
organized into libraries, which themselves consist of families. Depending on the type
of PAC selected and the processor model, users will have a subset of these libraries
available to write their applications. However, the “Base Lib” library contains a set of
functions and function blocks, for the majority of which compatibility is independent
of the platforms. In particular, it contains the blocks compliant with IEC 61131-3.
The “Base Lib” library is structured into families:
2 b Timers and counters
b Process control on integers
b Table management
b Comparison
b Date and time management
b Logic processing
b Mathematical processing
3 Standard function block libraries
b Statistical processing
b Character string processing
b Type-to-type data conversion

The “Base Lib” library, which covers standard automation functions, is supplemented
by other, more application-specific libraries and platform-specific functions:
b Communication library, providing an easy means of integrating communication
4 programs from PACs with those used by HMIs from the PAC application program.
Like other function blocks, these EFBs can be used in any language to exchange
data between PACs or to deliver data to be displayed on an HMI.
b Process control library. The CONT_CTL library can be used to set up process-
specific control loops. It offers controller, derivative, and integral control functions
and additional algorithms, such as EFBs for calculating mean values, selecting a
maximum value, detecting edges, or assigning a hysteresis to process values, etc.
5 b Diagnostics library, which can be used to monitor actuators and contains EFBs
for active diagnostics, reactive diagnostics, interlocking diagnostics, permanent
process condition diagnostics, dynamic diagnostics, monitoring of signal groups,
etc.
b I/O management library, providing services to handle information exchanged
with hardware modules (formatting data, scaling, etc.).
b Motion Function Block library, containing a set of predefined functions and
6 structures to manage motion controlled by drives and servo drives connected on
CANopen.
b Motion library for motion control and fast counting.
b System library, which provides EFBs for the execution of system functions,
including: evaluation of scan time, availability of several different system clocks,
SFC section monitoring, display of system status, management of files on the
memory cartridge of the Modicon M340 processor, M580 processor, etc.
7 b Finally, a library named “obsolete”, containing the function blocks used by legacy
programming software needed to perform application conversions.

Management of user standards

Users can create libraries and families in order to store their own DFBs and DDTs.
This enhancement allows users to take advantage of programming standards
adapted to their needs, along with version management. This means that it is
8 possible to:
b Check the version of the elements used in an application program against those
User libraries stored in the library
b Perform an upgrade, if necessary

Debugging tools
EcoStruxure Control Expert software offers a complete set of tools for debugging
Modicon M340, M580, M580S, Momentum, Premium, or Quantum applications. A
tool palette provides direct access to the main functions:
1
b Dynamic program animation
b Setting of watchpoints or breakpoints (not authorized in event-triggered tasks)
b Step-by-step program execution. A function in this mode enables section-by-
section execution. Instruction-by-instruction execution can be launched from the
previous breakpoint. Three execution commands are therefore possible when the
element to be processed is a subroutine (SR) or DFB user block instance:
v Step Into: This command is used to move to the first element of the SR or DFB.
2
Debugging tools: Dynamic animation/adjustment v Step Over: This command is used to execute the entire SR or DFB.
v Step Out: This command is used to move to the next instruction after the SR or
DFB element.
b Independent execution of the master (MAST), fast (FAST), auxiliary (AUX), and
event-triggered (EVTi) tasks

Animation of program elements

3
Dynamic animation is managed section-by-section. A button on the toolbar is used to
activate or deactivate animation for each section.
When the PAC is in RUN, this mode can be used to simultaneously view:
b The animation of a program section, regardless of the language used

Debugging tools: Watchpoint

b The variables window containing the application objects created automatically
from the section viewed 4
Animation table
Tables containing the variables of the application to be monitored or modified can be
created by data entry or initialized automatically from the selected program section.
The tables can be stored in the application and retrieved from there at a later date.

EcoStruxure Control Expert can be used to save, import, and export Animation
5
tables with predefined set values. As it allows population of set values along with
current values and vice versa in the PAC, Animation tables can be used as templates
to make the application easier to tune.

Debugging DFB user function blocks

Debugging tools: Breakpoint/step-by-step The parameters and public variables of these blocks are displayed and animated in
real time using animation tables, with the possibility of modifying and forcing the
6
required objects.
In exactly the same way as with other program elements, the watchpoint, breakpoint,
step-by-step execution, and program code diagnostics functions can be used to
analyze the behavior of DFBs. Setting a breakpoint in a DFB user function block
instance stops execution of the task containing this block.
7
Debugging in Sequential Function Chart (SFC) language
The various debugging tools are also available in SFC language. However, unlike
other sections (IL, ST, LD, or FBD), an SFC section executed step-by-step does not
stop execution of the task but instead freezes the SFC chart. Several breakpoints
can be declared simultaneously within a single SFC section.

PLC simulator

1
The EcoStruxure Control Expert integrated simulator can be used to test the
application program for Modicon M340, M580, M580S, Momentum, Premium, or
Quantum automation platforms from the PC terminal without having to connect to the
processor. The functions provided by the debugging tools are available for
Simulator control panel debugging the master, fast, and auxiliary tasks.
As the simulator does not manage the PLC I/O, animation tables can be used to
simulate the state of inputs by forcing them to 0 or 1.

2
The simulator can be connected to third-party applications via an OPC server with
OFS (OPC Factory Server) software.

Trending tool
The trending tool allows easy monitoring of variables by detecting operating
problems or improving process performance. You can select any variable in your
3 application and start acquisition, save records, and analyze records with integrated
tools or Excel. The PAC master scan can scan up to 16 variables.

The documentation editor is based on the Documentation Browser, which shows the
file structure in tree form.

5 It allows all or part of the application file to be printed on any graphics printer
accessible under Windows using True Type technology, in A4 or US letter print
format.
The documentation editor supports the creation of user-specific files using the

EcoStruxure Control Expert setup software
6
System diagnostics
The system diagnostics for the Modicon M340, M580, M580S, Momentum, Premium,
and Quantum platforms support the monitoring of system bits/words, I/O modules,
and activity times (minimum/maximum) of SFC steps. By simply choosing the relevant
option during application configuration, any event will generate time-stamped
messages logged in the diagnostic buffer of the PAC.
These events are displayed automatically in a diagnostics viewer (1) without requiring 7
any additional programming.

With EcoStruxure Control Expert integrated diagnostics, this function can be used to
perform first-level diagnostics of the elements in the configuration, up to and
including each I/O module channel.

Modifying the program with the PAC in RUN mode

With EcoStruxure Control Expert, changes can be made to the program when the
1 PAC connected to the programming terminal is in RUN mode. These modifications
are performed with the following operations:
b The application contained in the PAC is transferred to the PC terminal running
EcoStruxure Control Expert, if necessary.
b Program changes are prepared. These program modifications can be of any type
and in any language (IL, ST, LD, FBD, and SFC), for example, addition or deletion
of SFC steps or actions. The code of a DFB user function block can also be
2 modified (however, modification of its interface is not permitted).
b These program changes are updated in the PAC (in RUN mode).

This function makes it possible to add or modify program code and data in different
parts of the application during a single modification session (thus resulting in a
uniform, consistent modification with respect to the controlled process). This
increased flexibility comes at a cost in terms of the amount of program memory
3 required.

Cross-references function
The EcoStruxure Control Expert cross-references function, which is available in
standalone mode (offline) and when connected to the PAC in RUN (online), allows
users to view the elements of a PAC application when searching for any type of

4 variable. This view indicates where the declared variable is used, as well as how it is
used (for writing, reading, etc.).
This function also provides access to the Search/Replace function for variable
names.
The variable search can be initialized from any editor (language, data, runtime
Cross-references table screen, animation table, etc.).

5
Import/export function
The import/export function available in EcoStruxure Control Expert supports the

6
following operations from the structural and functional project views:
b Via the import function, reuse of all or part of a previously created project in the
current project
b Via the export function, copying of all or part of the current project to a file for
subsequent reuse

The files generated during export are generally in XML format (1). However, in
Data export shortcut menu addition to XML, variables can be exported and imported in the following formats:
7 b .xvm format compatible with OFS data server software
b source format, in an .scy file compatible with PL7 development software
b text format with separator (Tab) in a .txt file for compatibility with any other system

During an import, a wizard can be used to reassign data to new instances of:
b DFB function blocks
b DDT data structures
8 b simple data
In addition, when a functional module is imported, the data associated with
animation tables and runtime screens is also reassigned.

The XML import function also supports the transfer of a Modicon M340,
Modicon M580, Modicon M580 Safety, Premium, or Quantum PAC configuration
prepared in the SIS Pro costing and configuration tool for use in the creation of a
9 Data import wizard
project in EcoStruxure Control Expert. This import function spares the user from
having to redefine the PAC configuration when the PAC has already been configured
with the SIS Pro tool.

EcoStruxure Control Expert includes an Excel import/export tool that makes it easy
to manage the variables using an XML export file in Excel.

10 (1) XML language is an open, text-based language that provides structural and semantic
information.

Application converters
The EcoStruxure Control Expert integrated conversion tools can be used to convert
applications created with ModSoft, ProWorX, Concept, and PL7 programming
software to EcoStruxure Control Expert applications.
1
Concept/EcoStruxure Control Expert converter (Quantum and Momentum PACs)
This conversion is performed with a Concept application V2.5 or later (it can also be
performed in V2.11 or later, but only after an update to V2.5). In order to perform the
conversion, the application should be exported to an ASCII file in Concept.
The export file is converted to a EcoStruxure Control Expert source file automatically. 2
This file is then analyzed by EcoStruxure Control Expert. At the end of the procedure,
a conversion report is generated and an output window displays any detected
conversion error(s) and provides direct access to the part of the program to be
modified.
The Concept application converter converts the application to EcoStruxure Control
Expert, but does not guarantee that it will operate correctly in real time. It is therefore
essential to test or debug all converted applications. 3
PL7/EcoStruxure Control Expert converter (Premium PAC and Atrium slot PAC)
This conversion is performed with a PL7 application V4 or later (Premium PAC or
Atrium slot PAC). In order to perform the conversion, the source file (complete
application or user function block) should be exported to PL7.
The conversion procedure is similar to that of the Concept conversion described above.
Note: Applications created with Concept, Modsoft, and ProWORX can be converted to LL984.

Please contact our Customer Care Center.

Unity M580 Application Converter (UMAC)

The conversion from Unity Quantum and Unity Premium applications to Unity M580
applications is performed with UMAC (V3.1.7).
UMAC is a standalone software tool that can be installed on a Windows PC.
The complete conversion process relies on the use of EcoStruxure Control Expert. 5
UMAC is available in two sizes: Lite and Standard. UMAC Lite is free and downloadable
from our website www.se.com. UMAC Lite allows the existing configuration to be
retained while UMAC Standard adapts the code to Modicon M580.

Unity M580 Application Converter tool Operating system update utilities

The OS-Loader software is designed for updating operating systems on Premium and 6
Quantum platforms. It is supplied with EcoStruxure Control Expert software.
It is used to upgrade EcoStruxure Control Expert processors and modules as well as
to upgrade PL7 or Concept processors and modules to make them compatible with
EcoStruxure Control Expert.

Premium and Quantum Ethernet modules
Note: For Modicon M340, M580, and Momentum this service is provided by Unity Loader (see
page 43459/6).

Online modification of the configuration (CCOTF)

This function, also called Change Configuration On The Fly (CCOTF), is used to modify
the Modicon M580 or Modicon Quantum configuration online (application in RUN mode): 9
b Addition or removal of discrete or analog I/O modules
b Modification of configuration parameters of discrete or analog I/O modules
(already present or newly installed)

On Quantum, the CCOTF function is supported by standalone processors for

10
the three types of I/O architecture (local, RIO, DIO) using version 5 of EcoStruxure
Control Expert, and for Hot Standby processors using version 4.1 or higher
of EcoStruxure Control Expert. The CCOTF function should first be validated in
the EcoStruxure Control Expert configuration screen. A confirmation screen appears

Programmable process control

Process control in machines

EcoStruxure Control Expert contains CONT_CTL, a library of 36 function blocks
1 used to create control loops for machine control.

The requirements for closed loop control functions in machines are adequately met
by Modicon M340, Modicon M580, Modicon M580 Safety, Modicon Momentum,
Premium, and Quantum platforms thanks to the wealth of functions in the library and
the flexibility with which function blocks can be linked together through programming.
This solution therefore avoids the need for external controllers and simplifies the
2 overall control architecture of the machine, as well as its design, rollout, and
operation.

The EFs or EFBs can be used in any of the EcoStruxure Control Expert languages
(LD, ST, IL, and FBD). FBD is particularly suitable for accessing control processing
operations in EcoStruxure Control Expert through its wizard for entering and viewing
CONT_CTL, programmable process control integrated in
parameters and function block variables.

 Presentation, Software
setup EcoStruxure Control Expert
EFB Toolkit software

Presentation
EFB Toolkit software helps to develop EFs and EFBs in “C” programming language.
1 As an option with EcoStruxure Control Expert, it can be used to extend the standard
EcoStruxure Control Expert function blocks in order to increase functionality. This
software comes with Microsoft Visual Studio, which can be used to debug the
function blocks developed in the EcoStruxure Control Expert PLC simulator. EFB
Toolkit also includes a service for creating and managing families of function blocks
and integrating them in EcoStruxure Control Expert.

2 EFB Toolkit
Setup
EFB Toolkit manages the whole process of developing EcoStruxure Control Expert
function blocks:
b User-friendly graphical user interface with automatic file organization
b Powerful tools for testing and debugging
b Management of compatibilities and software versions of created functions

3
b Generation of executable files for subsequent installation of functions on different
EcoStruxure Control Expert stations

Managing function block families

EFB Toolkit helps to create and manage function block families. The function blocks
developed, also known as EFs/EFBs, are stored in families. It makes it possible to
create an organized library of functions written in “C” language. Once created, these

4 function block families are installed on the EcoStruxure Control Expert stations for
the purpose of extending the standard EcoStruxure Control Expert libraries.
Integration in EcoStruxure Control Expert can be executed from EFB Toolkit or via
the tool for updating EcoStruxure Control Expert libraries, which allows these
families to be distributed without the use of any other software.

Developing function blocks

5 The EFB Toolkit software allows the user to create a function block as follows:
b Declaration of the function block interface in the same way as for the DFBs in
EcoStruxure Control Expert
b Definition of all data types needed (elementary, structures, tables)
EFB Toolkit: Managing function block families b Support of public and private variables
b Generation of all files and the block “C” coding frame (the user only adds
functionality to this frame)

6 b Granting access to numerous internal PAC services, such as the real-time clock,
PAC variables and data, system words and math functions, including high-
precision numerical processing in “double” format
b Structure of the function block family (compilation/link for all EcoStruxure Control
Expert automation platforms)
b Provision of a debugging environment: the function blocks created can easily be
debugged in Microsoft Visual Studio by downloading an EcoStruxure Control

7 Expert application containing the function developed in the EcoStruxure Control

Expert PLC simulator. The debugging functions in Microsoft Visual Studio,
especially breakpoints, step-by-step operations, display of the code/data, and
manipulation of the data can be accessed without restriction.
b Support for managing EcoStruxure Control Expert versions, important during the
function block maintenance phase

8
Compatibility
EFB Toolkit is compatible with EcoStruxure Control Expert, Large and Extra Large.
EFs and EFBs can be developed for Modicon Premium, Quantum, M340, M580, and
Unity Momentum platforms.

The latest available EFB Toolkit version is V14:

EFB Toolkit: Editor b OS compatibility Windows® 7 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows® 10 (32-bit and 64-bit)

9 b Generated libraries can be installed on EcoStruxure Control Expert

EcoStruxure Control Expert
Asset Link software

Presentation
EcoStruxure Control Expert - Asset Link enables users to create a fully
1 integrated control system to reduce design and commissioning time and deliver
long-term system consistency. It integrates systems built with EcoStruxure
Control Expert or EcoStruxure Machine Expert that are supervised by AVEVA
System Platform.

The various benefits of Asset Link are:

2
b Faster design and implementation: Analyzes the control project and reads the
EcoStruxure Control Expert - Asset Link configuration information such as function blocks, data structures (variables), and
meta data (comments and initial values), and generates assets in AVEVA System
Platform with configured attributes and addresses, thus reducing user engineering
time.
b Simplified system changes: Simplifies maintenance of control system by
continuous monitoring of the controller project and update of the AVEVA System

3 Platform asset attributes.

b Libraries with pre-defined patterns: Pre-defined patterns to automatically
generate assets in AVEVA System Platform based on the General Purpose Library
for Wonderware System Platform when controller code is based on General Purpose
Library for EcoStruxure™ Control Expert.
b Custom patterns: Generates patterns for customer/project standards based on a
sample object type without additional effort.

a matching asset using the defined template within the AVEVA System Platform
Name, Communication, Attributes galaxy.
Comments and Initial Value Communications
(OPC-DA/CPC-UA)
b Optionality
Integrated engineering Asset Link recognizes assets by a core set of (required) controller assets. It
generates rules for any included optional elements only when these elements
exist within the controller. When the template is created in AVEVA System
6 Platform, the attributes associated with the assets that exist in the controller are
configured and the others are left blank.
b Customization
Asset Link rules can be customized so that the existence of controller blocks or
variables can enable or disable attributes within the AVEVA System Platform
object. Within the General Purpose Library, this allows the object to remove
attributes and reduce the processing required for simple assets.
7 b Description
Asset Link uses the description of the asset within the controller as the description

of the asset within AVEVA System Platform.

8 Asset binding
EcoStruxure Control Expert - Asset Link detects I/O variables which are read from
the controller and binds each instance of the asset to the variables available within
the controller.
b Protocols
Asset Link recognizes and configures the variable addresses when using OPC-DA,
9 OPC-UA, and OPC UA Embedded (in-rack OPC UA Server modules). The user
selects the required protocol and all addresses are formatted as required.

Features (continued)
Asset meta data
EcoStruxure Control Expert - Asset Link uses the meta data associated with the 1
variables and function blocks within the controller. This information, which is
specific to each instance of an asset, does not change dynamically during Runtime.
The data adds value to the user interface by providing more detail as to the state of
the controller logic. Using controller configuration within the supervision improves
the quality of the controller logic documentation.
b Comments
Each input pin for a function block can contain a description of the data that is 2
being connected. During detected failure and interlock conditions, this can
provide detail to the operator on the causes that are impacting operation. By
replicating this data, Asset Link makes comments available within the controller
as well as providing additional insight to the operator.
b Initial values
Many parameters are used in both the controller and the supervisory system
(analog scaling). When variables are required in both, Asset Link enables the
3
data to be synchronized so that a single value change is required to change the
value across the control system.

Integration of Asset meta data

4
Consistency management
EcoStruxure Control Expert - Asset Link monitors changes in the source input file
and enables the user to update the generated assets accordingly. It also identifies
any conflicts (name and type) between assets and enables the user to resolve
them using the "Resolve conflict dialog" function.
b Monitor functionality
5
Users can enable/disable monitoring capabilities on the Asset Link template.
When enabled, based on the time interval set by the user, the Asset Link template
will monitor for changes in the control project input file and indicate them to the
user on detecting a new version.
bR
 esolve conflicts
EcoStruxure Control Expert - Asset Link identifies conflicting assets (conflicts in
name or type) and tags them as "To be resolved". The "Resolve conflict dialog"
6
function enables the user to resolve these conflicts.

the rules.
b Required elements
The user must select the required elements of the asset when generating a
pattern to allow the same pattern to be used with multiple variations of similar
assets.

identified within the pattern and are not impacted when rules are re-evaluated to
update the pattern. Custom rules are typically used to set digital data within the
template that cannot be automatically recognized.
b Standards
Each controller within the automation system can be linked to a common set of

Libraries

General Purpose Library

General Purpose Library V2 for EcoStruxure Control Expert provides the core
1 automation and device integration function blocks for your automation system. The
GPL is provided as a ready-to-use library with open control blocks (read only) to
provide easy diagnostics and develop alternatives.

The library is designed to use a network of DFB/DDTs to represent a single asset.

This enables the library to offer a simpler diagnostic interface as each detected
failure on interlock condition has a single pin and can be animated. It also enables
2 the controller to maximize the resources as assets without a local panel or detected
failures can omit elements and reduce the memory required in the controller.

OPC Data Server software

OFS (OPC Factory Server)

Presentation
Based on the OLE for Process Control (OPC) standard, Schneider Electric's OPC
1 Factory Server (OFS) software allows “client” software applications, such as
supervisors/SCADA and customized interfaces, to access the data of Schneider
Electric automation system and electrical distribution devices connected to networks
OPC Factory Server or fieldbuses in real time.
It also allows communication with third-party devices supporting Modbus and
Modbus/TCP protocols.

2 OFS enables simpler, more open and transparent communication between your
software applications and your devices. These are just some of the advantages that
result in a complete interoperability solution that is central to your process.

In version V3.6, the OFS provides the following additional features:

b OPC DA (OPC Data Access)
b .NET API interface
3 b Native support for a redundant link with the PAC
b Access to time-stamped variables in the PAC or X80 drops
b V3.6 is compatible with Wonderware WSP environment (OPC DA compatible
only). More details are available on the Wonderware Global Customer Support site

There are two versions of the OFS V3.6 offer supporting the OPC DA protocol:
b OFS Small: Data server for 1,000 items (1).
4 b OFS Large: Data server with an unlimited number of items (1).

Supported devices and protocols

OFS software is a multi-device data server: it allows simultaneous use of several
communication protocols, and it provides client applications with a set of services for
accessing control system items that may be local or remote, via physical address or
via symbol.
5 Supported devices:
b Modicon Quantum, Premium, M340, M580, Micro, Compact and Momentum
PACs
b Schneider Electric TSX Series 7 and April Series 1000 PACs
b Modbus serial devices connected via Schneider Electric gateways: TSXETG10pp,
EGXppp ranges, etc.
6 b Uni-Telway serial devices connected via Schneider Electric gateways
(TSXETG1010)
Supported networks and protocols:
b Modbus: Modbus serial, Modbus Plus, Modbus/TCP
b X-Way/Uni-TE: Uni-Telway, Fipway, ISAway, PCIway

Redundant link on Modbus/TCP

7 The OFS V3.6 incorporates native support for a redundant link with the PAC in order
to optimize system availability without any impact on the SCADA application. OFS
automatically changes over from the primary to the standby communication path in
case of a communication fault.

Openness
8 The development of specialized interfaces is simpler with OFS V3.6 software, which
is aimed at two types of user in particular:

b End users who want either to interface their supervision or human/machine

interface applications with Schneider Electric equipment, or to develop applications
on a PC (supervisory control screens, Excel spreadsheets etc.) requiring access to
control system data.

9 b Suppliers of control system or industrial data processing software

(supervision, human/machine interfaces, etc.) seeking to develop, within their
standard products, an OPC Client interface capable of accessing data in Schneider
Electric equipment via the OFS server.

The OFS server 1 is at the center of the data exchanges. It makes variables exchanged between the OPC client 2 and the PAC 3 consistent in 8
one of three ways, using a symbol (or variables) database:

b The variables database is either the Unity Pro project 4, or the Concept project. In both these cases, Unity Pro or Concept needs to be
installed on the OFS server station.

b Or the variables database is an export file (SCY for PL7, XVM for Unity Pro). PL7 and Unity Pro are not required in either of these cases.
9
b Or the variables database is the PAC itself. In this case neither Unity Pro nor an export file is needed. This does not apply to Momentum and
TSX Micro PACs. If an inconsistency is detected (following online modification of the PAC program for example), OFS resynchronizes itself
automatically as a background task, without breaking communication between the PAC and the OPC client.

For this function the following minimum versions are required:

Functions
Development of client applications
1 OFS software has 4 types of interface:

b OLE Automation interface (OPC DA)

Particularly suitable for end users, this enables the development of OPC client
applications in Visual Basic, in Visual Basic for Excel, and in C++.

2
b OLE Custom interface (OPC DA)
Used primarily by suppliers of automated control system or industrial IT products,
this interface enables the development of applications in C++ in order to access the
OFS software OPC server. It is aimed at software development experts in particular,
so that they can integrate the client application into their standard products. It is the
interface with the highest performance, in terms of access time to data stored in the
OPC server. It requires extensive knowledge of C++ programming to set up.

3 b OPC .NET API wrapper interface

The .NET Microsoft compatibility of the OFS data server gives an OPC .NET client
standard access to OFS server items via an Intranet network, thus providing greater
interoperability with standard .NET environments.
Note: In this case, communication between the OPC .NET client and the OFS server is
conducted through the DCOM layer (or COM layer in a local configuration) via the OPC DA
protocol.

Time stamping system

Presentation
The time stamping system is a complete solution providing a SCADA with a
1 sequence of events that are time-stamped at source, enabling the user to analyze
the source of any abnormal behavior in an automated system.

The SOE (sequence of events) is displayed in the alarm log or in the list of events for
a client such as a SCADA.

2 Each event in the SOE is a change of value (transition) of a discrete I/O detected by
a time stamping module.

Advantages
Using the time stamping system has the following advantages:
b No PAC programming
b Direct communication between the time stamping modules and the client. If the
3 time stamping modules are in an Ethernet I/O drop, the bandwidth of the PAC
communication is not used
b Consistency of the I/O values between the process (time stamping modules) and
the client
b Consistency is maintained irrespective of the operating mode
b Management of Hot Standby configurations on the PAC and/or SCADA

Libraries
EcoStruxure Process Expert process libraries
EcoStruxure Process Expert brings reusable process libraries specifically designed 1
to reduce engineering costs, risk, and time-to-operation. These libraries embed the
know-how of years of experience delivering solutions in hybrid industries, and have
been tested, validated, and documented.
The process library is designed to provide the components that are required to
engineer the core of the automation process. In addition, these libraries enable the
integration of Schneider Electric and third-party devices via different open protocols.
Automation infrastructure objects extend the functionality beyond the traditional
2
automation layer to integrate smart connected products and software applications
within Edge Control. This brings the IIoT from concept to reality within the distributed
control system.

Hybrid industry-specific libraries

In addtion to the general purpose process library, EcoStruxure Process Expert 3
complements hybrid industries with a set of ready-to-use libraries for specific
industries such as Water and Waste Water treatment, cement, mining, and Food &
Beverage.

Ready-to-use libraries for energy management and process control

EcoStruxure Process Expert has dedicated libraries for power and energy
management and advanced process control. They can be combined with the
4
general purpose and industry-specific libraries to build applications with a consistent
look and feel.
The Energy Management Library offers monitoring and measurement of electrical
and non-electrical process objects. The aggregation of energy (water, air, gas,
electricity, and steam) at each level delivers information to users about energy
consumption. 5
The low Voltage Power Control (LVPC) Library provides the ability to monitor the
energy situation in low voltage power circuits in a plant and retain the available
energy for the most critical loads by shedding the least critical ones.
The Advanced Process Control Library targets the monitoring and control of
complex processes, like a furnace, in the plant.
