DeltaV Explorer enables you to define system characteristics and view the overall structure and layout of the system hardware and configuration. In addition to viewing your database, you can copy and move objects, modify the properties of objects, and add new objects.
Some of the things you can do with DeltaV Explorer are:
Add workstations and controllers to the database
Add plant areas and control modules to the database
Add and edit alarm types and edit alarm priorities
Create named sets that can be used by control modules
Edit network, controller, and workstation properties
Download control modules to controllers
Load and assign licenses
Export data for use in an external editing tool such as a spreadsheet or database
Import data from an external editing tool such as a spreadsheet or database
DeltaV Explorer also provides a fast way to add control modules to your database. When creating your control strategy, you can simply drag control modules from the template library into a plant area. While you are still in DeltaV Explorer, you can edit the module parameters to tailor them to your application. (For more extensive editing, you can use Control Studio.)
