Domain configuration
1

Create a project

: Launch VF builder on Chief engineer station (configuration

server)
:: File--New
Set the name of the project and the creator.
The default saving path: D:\SUPCON_PROJECT
: Set as default
To set current project as the default project which will be configured

Domain configuration

Control domain configuration

: Add control domain
Set the name , description and domain address.
:: Add control station
Set the name, description, control station s address
and select the engineer who has the authority to configure it.

Operation domain configuration

: Add operation domain

Set the name , description.
Set the engineer who can configure it
Set the control domain to be monitored.
:: Add server
Set the name, description and the server
servers address.
Note: when the operation domain is added, a server is already
there. If you add one more then these two server will be redundant.
: Add operation node
Set the name, description and the operation s address.

I/O Builder configuration

Control configuration
1

Open from configuration server

select the control station and open it from configuration server,

meanwhile you lock this station and other engineer station can t do the
configuration for this control station.
Means the control station was locked by the local engineer station .
Means the control station was locked by other engineer station.
