About this Lab

This lab will familiarize the user with the steps necessary to start

development of a PlantPAx™ system using Studio 5000 Architect and

the Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects.

The user will define system controllers and servers and configure a control

application with pre-defined library objects for common functions helping

to reduce engineering time.

Templates are included in the library for both controller applications and

HMI applications to provide a consistent starting point for system

implementation.


What the Lab Will Cover

4

In this lab we will cover the following subjects:

Use the Studio 5000 Architect Application and templates to develop a PlantPAx application

Leverage Process Strategies for level control using a tank with a pump and level indicator as an example

Configure an HMI display to include pump, level objects, and alarms

Test the controller program and HMI functionality by creating and using an HMI client

Leverage the Logical Organizer to take advantage of past engineering efforts to save time and reduce errors


Library of Process Objects

5

Application code in the form of an

Add-On instruction to control each

associated device i.e. motors,

valves, inputs, outputs, etc.

Graphic objects used to build HMI

displays

Operator Faceplates that launch

automatically when user clicks on

graphic objects to display detailed

information and offer control options


Code creation tools and features

Process Strategies

50+ control strategies

Import, name and DONE

New

Logical Organizer

Create and organize code

Create libraries


Lab Takeaways

7

From this lab, the user will become familiar with:

Studio 5000 Architect

The Controller Application templates

The HMI Application templates

Process Strategies from the Rockwell Automation Library of Process Objects

The Logical Organizer feature of Studio 5000 Logix Designer

Symbol Factory, an HMI library of graphic symbols


Please Begin the Lab

Keep these items in mind while you are performing the lab:

The hard controllers next to you are NOT used for this lab. RSLogix

Emulate 5000 is used for the lab simulation. Please do not “X” out

of RSLogix Emulate 5000! It’s OK to minimize the window.

There are details in this lab that require your utmost concentration

for what you are typing or clicking.

We value your feedback – please provide lab feedback using the

PSUG event mobile app.

Feel free to raise your hand to ask for help at any time!
