WARNING!This tutorial assumes you are using a DeltaV system that is offline, not one that is controlling a process. Do not perform any tutorial procedures that involve importing or downloading configuration information into an operational system without fully considering the impact of the changes.
To run and test your configuration you will need a configured Professional or ProfessionalPLUS workstation with the appropriate batch licenses installed. If you do not have a controller, you will assign modules to the workstation for simulation purposes.
You will also need to enable Batch and Advanced Unit Management functions in the System Preferences ().
The DeltaV\Samples\BatchTutorial directory contains the following:
- Startup.fhx is the startup database that contains some of the control module classes and phase classes. Import this file into a new database if you want to follow along with the tutorial exercises and create the equipment, phase logic, and recipes for the paint application.
- Simulation.fhx is the database that contains the simulation control modules. It is to be imported after import of the Startup.fhx file. Note that, upon import, the simulation files are temporarily stored in a separate area named Simulation.
- Complete.fhx is the completed database with recipes. Import this file into a new database only if you want to simply view and run the modules and recipes without having to create them.
Before attempting to import a tutorial database, check the User Manager application, to make sure you have all keys for all areas (sitewide).
