It doesn't: DBDOC is read-only. Real time monitoring uses the same resources as monitoring with the EWS.
It is part of the specification process of a process-control point, as in Loop, PCU, Module, Block and is also a drawing element in a CAD file - "struct block".
No. We take the loop, PCU and Module from the .mhd file.
BuildPlus does not set Loop, PCU and Module information for AutoCAD, Microstation, DXF or text files. BuildPlus will try to figure out the correct Loop, PCU and Module information for various other types of files, including batch (.B90), ladder, and RTU, by:
A primitive operation in the ABB hardware. Function Codes can appear on CAD EWS drawings, in Composer drawings and in Ladder diagrams. Function Codes have one or more specifications (see specs) - inputs - and one or more outputs.
Specs are the inputs of function codes. Specs must be set at design time - i.e. when the drawing is created. The interpretation of the specs depends on the function code. Specs whose value is a block number are usually used to reference the value of that block.
If you leave your .vfy files in your CAD directories, DBDOC will build them into your M14 file, so you can see variation between the module as downloaded and what is specified in your sheets. DBDOC does not currently have the ability to track changes in specs between builds. If you are interested in this feature, please contact us at geoff@gmcl.com.
Assuming the you have physically removed blocks from your ABB system and rebuilt the DBDOC.M14, running the old M14 and monitoring blocks which have been removed from your ABB configuration will not harm your ABB system. It will merely result in Hyperview displaying red boxes for the blocks it can't retrieve.
PCU, Module and Block number are enough to link. DBDOC puts the tag name and description above the block "A" for Attributes in the M14
The configurator stage of the build uses the skeleton .RAW file to locate all of your current build source files. This is a transparent step for the user unless you need to specify special LPM for batch, ladder, AutoCAD and/or text files.
Rules for LPM batch, text, etc.
Hyperlink is the DBDOC compiler, which runs during a build. It analyzes various process control system documents performing the following operations:
To find out which Hyperlink version you are using, see Learning about this version of DBDOC.
Decomposer is a DBDOC component which extracts .CAD files from Composer .CLD files during a build. For each Composer database processed, a Decomposer folder is created in the project directory.
