Exercise 8.1 Configuring a Trend Display

8.1.1 Description
Implement a trend display for the reactor level and temperature uses a predefined trend
template. You have already done the log configuration for these data in the previous
chapter. Add a valve signal as digital trend.
Operate the trend display and copy some data into an MS Excel sheet.

8.1.3 Exercise Steps

F Create a Trend Display aspect on the object Sxx_Reactor.

F Configure the trend display to show gLevel.Value and gTemp.Value.

Depending whether you attended the course T315F “Engineering with Function
Designer” or T315C “Engineering with Control Builder”, the required global variable
names for this exercise are:

Sxx_ReactorApp.gLevel in T315C Sxx_ReactorApp.Sxx_LT1_IO in T315F

Sxx_ReactorApp.gTemp in T315C Sxx_ReactorApp.Sxx_TIC1_IO in T315F

Only the names are different, the location is the same: Sxx_ReactorApp.

F Add the AnalogInput.Value property of Sxx_FT1.

F If you use the course T315F as the base, the result should be like this:

F Add a digital signal as the gV1_Open.Value.

Depending whether you attended the course T315F “Engineering with Function
Designer” or T315C “Engineering with Control Builder”, the required global variable
names for this exercise are:

Sxx_ReactorApp.gV1_Open in T315C Sxx_ReactorApp.Sxx_V1_Open_IO in T315F

F Save the Trend Display aspect.
