Outline of DIASYS Netmation
This chapter gives an overview of DIASYS Netmation.
1.1 DIASYS : MHI's Control System

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is one of the largest plant manufacturers in the world. MHI
manufactures devices for power plants such as boilers, turbines and gas turbines, and provides
varied types of plants ranging from conventional plants consisting of boilers and turbines to
combined cycle plants consisting of gas turbines, waste heat recovery boilers (HRSG) and
steam turbines.
MHI also designs and manufactures varied power generators using gas engines, diesel engines,
wind power, fuel cells and waste materials, and varied equipment in power plants such as
desulfurizers.
As a plant manufacturer and provider, MHI recognized the need to provide the optimal control
for power plant facilities, and started to manufacture DIASYS since 1970s as an original
power plant control system.
So far, MHI has released the DIASYS-UP series and the DIASYS-UP/V series using the latest
hardware of each era. As the software that performs the plant control, MHI developed an
original logic description language, DIASYS-IDOL, which is most suited for plant control, and
it has been used in both series.
DIASYS Netmation was released in 2000 as the latest DIASYS-series control system and
actively incorporates the radically evolving IT technology. As the plant control software,
DIASYS-IDOL++, which is an enhanced successor to DIASYS-IDOL that was optimized for
plant control and had renowned records, is used. The feature of DIASYS-IDOL++ is its highly
reliable system design because MHI knows what is needed in designing and creating plants.
DIASYS Netmation differs from the previous DIASYS series in two major points:
(1)
Incorporating the latest IT technology

DIASYS Netmation uses the MHI card communication protocol which was developed by
MHI based on the Internet technology with enhanced reliability since it is used for controlling
and monitoring plants. DIASYS Netmation enables you to control and monitor your plant
from a remote place or via radio while achieving high reliability and light communication load.
The user-machine interface is based on Microsoft Windows. Therefore, you can use DIASYS
Netmation to register and maintain the system components as well as control and monitor
your plant like you use an ordinary PC.

(2)
Fully integrated database for easy maintenance

An integrated database centrally manages the system registration and maintenance data such as
logic and graphic displays for monitoring that are created or changed using different tools.
Therefore, you no longer need to assign numbers and identify the same data items that are used
in different locations. You can also perform maintenance efficiently since you can reference any
system data regardless of the tool you use.
The purpose of this document is to provide a system outline. The manual mainly describes the
features of DIASYS Netmation and gives an overview of the system.

1.2 Components of the System
This section describes the components of the DIASYS Netmation system.
Caution
Depending on your system configuration, the components described here may not be
provided to you. (Some of the components described here may not be included in
your system.)
Multiple Process Station (MPS)

The Multiple Process Station automatically controls the plant, and handles inputs and outputs
with the plant. It also performs complex arithmetic processing such as plant performance and
heat absorption.
Operator Station (OPS)
The Operator Station is a user-machine interface that is used to monitor and operate the plant.
Engineering and Maintenance Station (EMS)
The Engineering and Maintenance Station is used to maintain the control system.
Accessory Station (ACS)
The Accessory Station stores and manages large quantities of plant data. It is also used as an
interface with Web servers and external devices.
Browser OPS
With a browser, you can enjoy the same functionality as
provided by an OPS in the central control room. You
can operate and monitor your plant from your office or a
remote place using an ordinary PC.
Mobile OPS
With a notebook PC, you can enjoy the same
functionality as provided by an OPS in the central
control room. At the plant, you can share the same
information displayed in the central control room to
monitor and operate the plant.
For details about each device, see the "DIASYS
Netmation System Description".
1.2 Components of the System

1.3
DIASYS Netmation Communication Protocol (MHI

Card Communication System)
The system components described in Section 1.2 exchange data with one another over the
communication system. 100-Mbps Ethernet is employed for the unit network that contain OPSs,
EMSs, and MPSs. When these devices communicate with a browser OPS or other devices that
are not directly connected to the unit network, especially using the Internet, the communication
volume may be small.
The MHI card communication system is a communication protocol developed exclusively for
DIASYS Netmation based on the Internet so it can be applied to small infrastructures with
small communication volume.
The original communication protocol of the MHI card communication system is based on
TCP/UDP/IP and is provided as an ActiveX control based on Microsoft's COM architecture to
easily acquire necessary data from anywhere anytime. Since the communication load is small,
this system can be used for remote monitoring and operation using an existing small
communication infrastructure that can handle only a small volume of communication.
Figure 1.3-1 shows the concept of the MHI card communication system. Steps 1. to 5. show the
communication procedure for displaying a graphic on an OPS.

In previous systems, the MPS collected data and sent all of it to the OPS periodically. And the
OPS selected the process data to be shown on the displayed window. Since all the collected data
needed to be sent over the network, the communication load was great and a communication
protocol that could manage large quantities of data was needed.
The MHI card communication system fetches only the necessary data from the applicable
device only when the data is required. For example, suppose you want to display a graphic
window on an OPS. You call the desired window on the OPS. Then the OPS fetches only the
required process data from the MPS. Since only the necessary data is sent over the network, the
communication load is small. The number of communication steps is greater than before but
data can be acquired in real time which is mandatory for a system to control and monitor plants.
For example, it takes only one second before a graphic window is fully displayed when you call
it. Even if you call a trend window with many data items to be displayed, it takes only three
seconds before the window begins to be displayed. Once a window is displayed, only new data
is sent and it takes only one second to update data.
Although the above example explains only displaying windows on an OPS, the card
communication system is used in most of DIASYS Netmation communications including
between the EMS and the OPS, between the EMS and the MPS, between the OPS and the ACS,
and between MPSs. (Some of communications do not use the card communication system, such
as logic download from the EMS.) The card communication system is also used in displaying a
browser OPS via the Internet.

1.4 Integrated Database
One of the main features of DIASYS Netmation is an integrated database called
ObjectDatabase (ORCA).
The control system performs varied functions including the graphic display on an OPS, creating
logic for defining arithmetic processing for control, and assignment of input and output signals
to I/O modules. ObjectDatabase (ORCA) manages each piece of data that is shared by
different functions as a single component (object). Objects appear differently depending on the
function that uses them. However, objects do not change. Figure 1.4-1 shows the concept.
MHI object-oriented database

ObjectDatabase (ORCA)
Figure 1.4-1 Concept of ObjectDatabase (ORCA)
In previous systems, when different functions required the same data, each function created the
data and gave the same number to the data to show that they were actually using the same data.
Let's take a pump for example.
Suppose there is logic that defines a pump that changes its color depending on its status. Also
suppose there is a graphic window that displays the pump which changes its color. In previous
systems, the logic creation tool was used to create the color change logic and the pump was
given a number for each piece of that logic.
Then the graphic creation tool was used to create a graphic that displayed the pump. To the
colors of the pump, the numbers defined in the color change logic were assigned.
Figure 1.4-2 shows the concept of the previous number assignment method. Figure 1.4-3 shows
the ObjectDatabase (ORCA) method used in DIASYS Netmation.

The previous method required cumbersome and confusing number assignment. With the
DIASYS Netmation method, graphic components can coexist in logic and number
assignment is not necessary.
By simply copying and defining the components defined in logic in the graphic creation tool by
dragging and dropping, you can use those components in graphics on the OPS.
Control loop plates and lamp components can also coexist in logic, allowing you to manage the
system efficiently.
For how to define graphic components and others, see Chapter 4.
You can write operation controls in control logic.
You can write lamps in control logic.

Functions of the Operator Station (OPS)

The Operator Station (OPS) is a user-machine interface for monitoring and operating the plant.
This chapter describes how to use the main functions of the OPS.
2.1
Starting the OPS

This section explains how to start the OPS. The OPS is a Windows personal computer installed
with software called Work Space Manager (WSM). When the automatic startup is set, WSM
starts automatically when you start the personal computer. When the manual startup is set,
double-click the [WSManager] icon on Windows to start the OPS.
2.1 Starting the OPS

2-2
TAS71-E002E
2.2 Security for the OPS
WSM functions may affect the plant operation and they provide means to change the
environment settings of WSM to make the operation and monitoring of the plant more easy.
In DIASYS Netmation, you can restrict specific users from performing such operations by
setting the security mode to assure the safety of the plant.
You use the EMS to set the functions and areas each user is allowed to operate.
Normally, the functions that are set in the security mode are unavailable to users.
In WSM, you can cancel the security mode by entering a login name and a password.
Depending on the security definition for the group each login user belongs to, the range of
available operations and operation targets is determined.
You can register the confirmation and reset of alarms, registration of trend points, manual reset
of logic monitoring, and others in the security mode.
The operations in the security mode are displayed in the menu bar but they are dimmed and
cannot be selected.
To check whether the security mode for a specific operation is canceled, check the display
status of the [Security] icon displayed in the WSM toolbar.
When locked
: Security mode is set (logout).
When unlocked
: Security mode is canceled (login).
To cancel the security mode, click the [Security] icon in the WSM toolbar or choose [Tool] [Login] from the menu bar.
Enlarged view
2-3
TAS71-E002E
When the window for canceling the security mode appears, enter the user name and the
password.
In the [Timeout] list box, you can specify a period of time (timeout period) before WSM
automatically returns to the logout status (the security mode is set).
You can select 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours,
24 hours, or none (no timeout).
If you do not log in within 30 seconds after this window is displayed, the window times out and
closes.

TAS71-E002E
2.3 Calling a Window on the OPS
You have two options to call a window (graphic, logic monitoring, control loop plate, trend) on the OPS:
Double-click the desired window in OPS Explorer.
Double-click the desired icon (shortcut icon, profile) on the main window.
2.3.1
Calling a window from OPS Explorer
OPS Explorer manages all the windows of the OPS. The configuration of OPS Explorer and
how you use it are the same as Microsoft Windows Explorer.
When you double-click an item in OPS Explorer, the corresponding window appears.
To display OPS Explorer, in the WSM toolbar, click the [OPS EXPLORER] icon.
OPS Explorer appears.
The windows are organized in directories by functions. When you double-click a desired
window, it opens.
Double-click

TAS71-E002E
2.3.2
Calling a window using its icon on the main window
You can place shortcut icons to windows on the WSM main window and double-click the
desired icon to call the corresponding window.
You can also combine some windows as a group and call the group using a shortcut icon. The
icon of a group of windows is called a layout profile. A layout profile can store multiple
windows with different sizes.
For details about shortcut icons and profiles, see Section 2.10.
The following example is a profile containing four windows.

TAS71-E002E
2.4 Operating the Plant (Control Screen)

A control screen consists of control loop plates that you use to start and stop plant auxiliary
devices or operate valves. One control screen can accommodate four control loop plates
horizontally and three vertically, total of 12 control loop plates.
Control screens are stored in the Control Screens folder in OPS Explorer.
When you double-click the Control Screens folder, a list of control screens appears in the right
area (list view) of OPS Explorer.
In the list view on the right, double-click the control screen you want to display. If you place the
icon of a desired control screen on the WSM main window beforehand, you can also call the
control screen using the icon.
2-7
TAS71-E002E
The outline of how to operate a control loop plate is as follows.
(1) To change a Manipulated Value (MV) in an analog control loop plate, use the arrow buttons
for MV at the lower left of the control loop plate. To select a rate of change, right-click on
the mouse.
(2) To switch between the auto mode and the manual mode, choose the [AUTO] button or the
[MAN] button and press the [EXEC] button in an analog control loop plate. Operations that
affect the plant such as this require two steps with the [EXEC] button to prevent incorrect
operations.
(3) To change a Set Value (SV) in an analog control loop plate, use the arrow buttons for SV at
the lower middle. To select a rate of change, right-click on the mouse.

2.6 Monitoring the Processing Status of Logic (Logic

Monitoring)
Logic monitoring checks the logic that is processed by the Multiple Process Station (MPS) and
the processing status in real time.
Logic monitoring windows are stored in the Logic monitoring folder in OPS Explorer. When
you double-click the Logic monitoring folder, a list of logic monitoring windows appears in the
right area (list view) of OPS Explorer.
In the list view, double-click the logic monitoring window you want to display. If you place the
icon of a desired window on the WSM main window beforehand, you can also call the window
using the icon. The displayed logic monitoring window shows the status of the logic being
processed by the MPS in real time. On this window, you can fix outputs, set outputs, and adjust
parameters.

*There are three types of trend data:

(1)
Short-term trend data: Stored in the MPS (collected every second, stored up to 60
minutes)
(2)
Middle-term trend data: Stored in the ACS (collected every second, stored up to 24
hours)
This is actually the short-term trend data in the MPS collected and stored by the ACS.
(3)
Long-term trend data: Stored in the ACS (collected every 10 seconds, stored up to one
month)
This is a portion of the middle-term trend data. In the system without the ACS, the OPS
can display only the short-term trend data.
Caution
If only the turbine governor control device (DEH) or the gas turbine control device
(GTC) is provided, the ACS may not be included. In that case, the functions of the
ACS listed in Table 3.2-1 are not available. The DCS provides those functions
instead.

You can automatically export the event trace data, middle- and long-term trend data, spectrum
trigger logs, daily reports, SOE reports, post-trip logs, flight recorder data, user request forms in
the CSV format that you collected and stored in the ACS to external media (MOs, CD-Rs/Ws,
DVDs). When you export middle- and long-term trend data stored in the CSV format, you need
to specify so beforehand on the EMS.
Event trace data (CSV format) is exported to an external medium at the end of each day and
middle- and long-term trend data stored in the CSV format is exported at the timing specified on
the EMS.
When long-term data is specified to be stored externally, the data is automatically exported to
an external medium.
When you double-click the [AcsESVMonitor] icon on the ACS desktop, the automatic export
monitor starts. You can use this monitor to temporarily stop or resume the automatic export, or

The following figure shows an example ORCA View window with all six Windows
(functions) of the EMS open. Each Window represents a function of the EMS. The center of
the EMS is an integrated database called "ObjectDatabase (ORCA)" that stores and manages
data (objects). You can use each function (Window) of the EMS to display, change, and add
data in ObjectDatabase (ORCA).
Logic data creation function: Logic Window

This function allows you to create logic data that is processed by the MPS. Logic Window
manages logic data. To change logic or create new logic, you use a VISIO-based tool called
LogicCreator (FLIPPER).
Graphic creation function: Graphic Window
This function allows you to create graphics (system diagrams) displayed on the OPS.
Graphic Window manages graphic data. To change a graphic or create a new graphic, you
use a tool called GraphicCreator (MARLIN).
System building function: System Window
This function allows you to specify the overall definitions of the system. You can specify the
components connected to the unit network (you select from the MPS, OPS, and ACS),
manage the information about each component (regarding communications and others), and
set the module configuration in the MPS (such as signal assignment for I/O modules).

TAS71-E002E
User-machine interface between the OPS and the ACS: HMI Window
You use this function to set the functions and the windows to be used and displayed on each
OPS and ACS. You also use this Window to manage control loop plates. However, to
change the definitions of control loop plates or create a new control loop plate, you use
LoopPlateCreator (SCALLOP).
ObjectDatabase (ORCA) creation and change function: Document Window

You can also use other functions of the EMS to create and change ObjectDatabase
(ORCA). When you use Document Window, you can use Excel to create and change the
database efficiently. Document Window manages files in Excel format. To edit an Excel
file, you use ListCreator (CORAL).
Document management function: Drawing Window
You use this function to collect the data you create using other functions of the EMS, and
change it to electronic files for management. You use Drawing Window to convert the
logic sheets that you create using LogicCreator (FLIPPER), the graphics that you create
using GraphicCreator (MARLIN), and the Excel list documents that you create using
ListCreator (CORAL) into PDF format for management.

Objects and Classes in ObjectDatabase (ORCA)

ObjectDatabase (ORCA) manages and stores all the data used by DIASYS Netmation as
objects.
A class is a template (type) of object provided by DIASYS Netmation. There are two
categories for objects: body object and FIN object. A body object refers to the actual data that is
managed by ObjectDatabase (ORCA). When you use a function of the EMS to manipulate a
body object, you create a FIN object by adding the data required in that function to the body
object used as the base. Each body object has an identification number called ORCA-ID that is
automatically assigned by the system. However, users are not usually aware of these numbers.
Figure 4.3-1 explains the body object, FIN object, and class of a pump.

Body objects actually exist and FIN objects are means to represent the corresponding body
objects so they are suitable for each EMS tool.
As Figure 4.3-1 shows, classes are prepared for all the data that is used on the EMS. For
example, an alarm is a class and an I/O component such as AI and AO is also a class. In a
system for an actual project, necessary objects are created using classes.
The available objects are shown in a tree format in ORCA-View. Figure 4.3-2 shows how FIN
objects are displayed on Logic Window.

4.4 Creating an Object

This section gives a brief explanation of how to create an object.
You can create objects using any function of the EMS. For example, if you want to create the
color change logic for a lamp component and place the lamp component in a graphic, you use
LogicCreator (FLIPPER) to create the body object of the lamp and then use
GraphicCreator (MARLIN) to create the FIN object. In other words, you use the tool that
uses the desired object to create the body object and then create the FIN object for other tools.
In this section, we use LogicCreator (FLIPPER) to create a new body object for a lamp
component.
Drag and drop the desired lamp component on a logic sheet. The "Create New Body
Object Selection" dialog box appears. When you allocate an object, the "Create New
Body Object Selection" dialog box always appears.
Drag and drop the lamp component

to display the "Create New Body
Object Selection"dialog box.
Enlarged view

TAS71-E002E
Select [Create New Body Object] and then choose [Next] to display the "Create New
Property setup for Body Object" dialog box. Enter the necessary items and choose
[Complete].
When the "Property" dialog box appears, choose [OK] to complete the setup for the body
object. To specify the detailed properties for the applicable class, choose [Edit Property] and
enter the necessary settings.
4-10
TAS71-E002E
Next, we show you how to use GraphicCreator (MARLIN) to create the FIN object to display
the new lamp component that you have created using LogicCreator (FLIPPER) on the
graphic window.
When you use GraphicCreator (MARLIN) to drag and drop the lamp component on a graphic
sheet, the "Create New Body Object Selection" dialog box appears.
In the "Create New Body Object Selection" dialog box, select [Select existing Body
Object] to display a list of existing body objects. Select [Square lamp for graphics].
Drag and drop the lamp

component to display the "
Create New Body Object
Selection " dialog box.
Now the FIN object is registered using GraphicCreator (MARLIN).

In addition to the method described here, there are other convenient methods to create FIN
objects such as using the bucket of ORCA-View. For details, see Subsections 4.11.2 and
4.11.3.
4-11
TAS71-E002E
4.5 Creating Logic (Logic Window)
To create logic data that is processed by the MPS, you use Logic Window and LogicCreator
(FLIPPER).
Logic Window displays and manages the information about logic sheets in a tree format (see
Figure 4.5-1).
MPS name*
Logic sheet group
Logic sheet
Objects used in
the logic sheet
* The name of the MPS in Logic Window is shown merely for the purpose of directory.
When you define the logic that is processed by each MPS, you use System Window.
Figure 4.5-1 Logic Window
As shown in the tree of Figure 4.5-1, there is a piece of control logic titled "BOILER
MASTER" that is processed by an MPS named "APC". This control logic is divided into
multiple logic sheets (BOILER MASTER, MAIN STEAM PRESS SET). The objects used
in each logic sheet are also shown in a tree format. For example, a logic sheet named "MAIN
STEAM PRESS SET" has objects such as a digital alarm signal titled "CDC AUTO MODE"
in a tree format.
When you click the plus sign (+) on the left of an item in the tree, you can view the details about
each definition.
4-12
TAS71-E002E
To change an existing logic sheet, left-click the desired logic sheet and then right-click to
display the pop-up menu. From the pop-up menu, choose [Open]. LogicCreator (FLIPPER)
starts and you can edit the logic.
To create a new logic sheet, from the toolbar, choose [Create New].
The following example shows how to change the logic of BOILER MASTER group in the
BOILER MASTER group under the MPS named "APC".
Start the logic creation tool, LogicCreator (FLIPPER), to display the editing window for the
selected logic sheet.
LogicCreator (FLIPPER) is created by customizing Microsoft VISIO for DIASYS
Netmation. LogicCreator (FLIPPER) provides logic elements as components in stencils.
You can drag and drop the desired logic elements onto a sheet and connect them with
connection lines to create logic.
When you check and build the completed logic, the logic is automatically converted to the data
to be processed by the MPS. When you download the converted data from System Window
to the MPS, the MPS starts computing using the new logic.
4-13
TAS71-E002E
See below for how to use LogicCreator (FLIPPER). Here, we explain a procedure of adding
a block diagram as an example.
From the PROCESS FUNCTIONS stencil, drag and drop the ON element. Similarly, from the
GRAPHIC PARTS stencil, drag and drop a pump element and specify the necessary data in the
property window.
4-14
TAS71-E002E
From the toolbar, choose the connection line icon.
From the PROCESS FUNCTIONS stencil, drag and drop the digital line and specify the input.
The details about the input of each element and how an element is used in computation are
determined for each function block. To check the meaning of the input of each element, choose
[Help] from the menu bar.
4-15
TAS71-E002E
When you finish editing logic, convert the logic into the data that can be processed by the MPS.
From the menu bar, choose [Netmation] - [Build].
When the edited logic contains an error, it is displayed at this occasion. If there is no error, build
ends. You download the converted data to the MPS from System Window of ORCA View.
You also use System Window to download the converted data to the OPS.
To terminate LogicCreator (FLIPPER), in the menu bar, click [File] - [Exit]. When a dialog
box appears, choose the [Yes] button.

4.11 Examples of Using EMS Functions

This section describes the following examples to explain how to use the EMS:
Adding an input
Adding a color-changing lamp component to a graphic window on an OPS
You use LogicCreator (FLIPPER) to create the color change logic, download the logic
to the MPS, and then use GraphicCreator (MARLIN) to create the graphic.
Changing the position of control loop plates in a control screen
4.11.1 Adding an input

When you install an instrument such as a transmitter or a thermocouple, you need to register its
signals in DIASYS Netmation. In this subsection, we assume that an I/O module (FXAIM02
since we want to register transmitter signals) is already registered and we explain how to add
transmitter signals to free terminals (connection with the plant is required later).
The steps are as follows:
Define the input (I/O information) on System Window.
Download the defined I/O information to the MPS.
First, we define the input (I/O information) on System Window. There are two methods to
add an input:
Registering a new input
If there is no logic that uses the required input and you want to register the input as an object in
ObjectDatabase (ORCA) for the first time
Modifying an existing I/O element that is created in a control logic sheet using
LogicCreator (FLIPPER) and registering the result as an input
This method is available if you have created the logic containing the desired I/O element using
LogicCreator (FLIPPER) before you register the desired input in System Window and the
desired input is registered as an object in ObjectDatabase (ORCA). In this case, only
assignment of the input is necessary in System Window.
There are two other ways for this method:
Registering an input from the bucket
Using an existing object to create a new input
See below for details.
4-30
TAS71-E002E
(1)
Registering a new input

Under the target MPS, choose [Hardware configuration] - [ControlNET Interfacecard
(adapter)] and right-click on [ControlNET Module], or right-click on [Space x] under
[ControlNET Module] to display the pop-up menu. From the pop-up menu, choose [Create
New].
For details about how to register an object, see Section 4.4.

In the "Create New Class Selection" dialog box, the class to be selected is determined
depending on the type of module (AI, AO, DI, DO).
For AI:
For AO:
For DI:
For DO:
Analog input for logical I/O assignment

Analog output for logical I/O assignment
Digital input for logical I/O assignment

select [Select existing Body Object]. However, in this example, we assume that the
lamp component is selected using LogicCreator (FLIPPER).
In the "Create New Body Object Selection" dialog box, select [Create new
Body Object].
The "Create new Property setup for Body Object" window appears as shown
below. Enter the name and the tag, and choose [Complete].
(5)
Next, you set the input signal to the lamp component. Since the input to the lamp
component is digital, you select a digital line.
4-38
TAS71-E002E
(6)
Split the alarm signal and attach a digital line to the lamp component. When the "Select
connection points of function block Input of the Square lamp" window
appears, select the sequential number for the digital line (number among inputs).
In this example, [Input 1] is selected. A lamp component can have up to five inputs.
(7)
When you complete changing the logic, perform loop build. Loop build converts data on
a logic sheet to a format that can be processed by the MPS. At the same time, check that
the written logic is correct. From the menu bar, choose [Netmation(N)] and then
[Build].

(creating a graphic)
This subsection describes how to add a component (specifically a lamp component) that
changes its color depending on the process status to a graphic window displayed on the OPS.
In Subsection 4.9.2, the logic for changing the color of the lamp component at the occurrence of
an alarm is created and downloaded to the MPS. This subsection describes how to display the
lamp component on a graphic window on the OPS.
Perform the following steps:
From Logic Window, copy the lamp component to the graphic in Graphic Window
where the lamp component is to be displayed (hold down Ctrl and drag and drop the lamp
component).
In Graphic Window, select and start the graphic where the lamp component is to be
displayed. GraphicCreator (MARLIN) starts and you can edit the graphic window.
Choose the [Pending List] button to display a list of components that are not yet
allocated to the graphic window where they should exist, and select the lamp component.
Move the lamp component to an adequate position on the graphic window.
Set color change for the lamp component.
Use ComponentViewer (MARU-VIEW) to check that the lamp component changes its
color correctly.
Download the created graphic window to the OPS.
See the following for details.
4-44
TAS71-E002E
(1)
Copying the lamp component from Logic Window to Graphic Window

Here, we draw a lamp component on a graphic window on the OPS. The logic of the lamp
component is already registered in Subsection 4.9.2. First, hold down Ctrl and drag and drop
the desired lamp component from Logic Window on the desired graphic window in
Graphic Window.

Work in GraphicCreator (MARLIN)

(1)
In Graphic Window, right-click on the target graphic window to display the pop-up
menu. From the pop-up menu, choose [Open]. GraphicCreator (MARLIN) starts and
you can edit the selected graphic.
(2)
In the case described here, the logic of the target component is already written and the
component is registered in Graphic Window (for details about including a component
in logic, see Subsection 4.9.2. For details about registering a component in Graphic
Window, see (1) in Subsection 4.11.3.)
You can also create a new component, write it in a graphic, and then create its logic.
If the desired component is already registered in Graphic Window and not written on a
graphic, you can use the unresolved component listing function to call the list of such
components.
From the menu bar, choose [Tool] - [Consistency with Database] or from the
toolbar, choose [Pending List]. The "Pending List" dialog box appears. The
"Pending List" dialog box lists components that are already registered in Graphic
Window but not written on graphics.

choose [Database Properties] - [Body Property]. When a dialog box appears,
choose the [Edit Property] button.
4-48
TAS71-E002E
(6)
The "Edit Property" dialog box appears. Here, you set the color change for the pump
component.
In the left pane of the "Edit Property" dialog box, click the plus signs to show lower
levels.
Under the "Composition" folder, you see the "Color change conditions" folder.
Under that, you see file A. Click it. Since the lamp component has only one color change
part, only "A" is displayed. For components that have multiple color change parts (such
as valves), you see multiple alphabetic characters.
The color settings of the selected part (A) appear in the right pane. You can edit the
values in the "Value" column.
(7) Next, you set the colors.

There are first to fifth preferences (conditions) for color change. The smaller the value
for the preference, the higher the priority (for example, if 1 is set for both the first
condition and the fifth condition, the color set for the first condition has priority).
LogicCreator (FLIPPER) provides digital input signals DI1 to DI5 as inputs for
graphic components. You need to set which condition corresponds to which DI signal.
For example, if you set "D3" as the first condition, "Reference No. for No.1
condition" is "3".
The following shows how to flicker the lamp component in red when an alarm occurs
and display the lamp in green when the alarm is canceled.
In Subsection 4.11.2, DI1 (1 is set if an alarm occurs) is set as the alarm generation
signal. Therefore, you enter "1" for "Reference No. for No.1 condition" and
"304"(color number for red flicker) for "Color for No.1 condition" And you enter
"006" (green) for "Default color".
4-49

5.4 Setting up I/O Modules

We explained how to install I/O modules in Subsection 5.3.2. That procedure only enables
physical signal transmission with the plant. You need to configure the software to use signals in
the control system (such as monitoring data on the OPS, creating logic).
This section describes how to configure the software that handles the signals received from the
plant and the signals output to the plant via I/O modules. We assume that the MPS containing
I/O modules and ControlNetTM adapters are already registered and describe how to assign I/O
signals to each I/O module.
Software configuration is performed on the Engineering and Maintenance Station (EMS) and
the settings are enabled when they are downloaded to the MPS. You need to set the CPU offline
when you set I/O modules. You can set inputs and outputs while the CPU is online.
