Building in PPB graphics

1. Extract your database(s)

Process Portal B (PPB) systems export

• an Operate IT Harmony Tag Export .mdb file, containing Loop, PCU, Module and Block for INFI90 tags, and
• an XML export file, which will add other tags like OPC-sourced ones.

We thus recommend you first extract your Operate IT database as a .mdb and do an XML export to ensure that the tags are as current as the graphics.

2. Add your database(s) to BuildPlus

Add the database(s) to your project's specifications; if this is a new project then the system file specifications will be the first dialog window opened, otherwise you should restart the build from the Go button or from Build->System File Specifications.

3. Add your graphics to the BuildPlus Wizard

Proceed through your build until you reach the configuration wizard, and mark the checkbox for Process Portal B graphics, and you may select any other files to be included in the build..

4. Confirm Console Associations

When the "Conductor NT/PPB Console Associations" query appears, choose Yes (or from the Tools menu, select Conductor NT/PPB Console Associations...) and confirm the associations between databases and graphics for each console. Choose the .MDB and .XML databases, but not other databases like Composer (.ebp).
