• Create equipment and organize equipment in a hierarchy: Create the equipment for the required objects. Organize the equipment in a hierarchy. Objects can be referred to by their name when you add Composite Genies to a graphics page. You can add one or more instances of an equipment to a page.
• Configure equipment references: Create the required relationships (equipment references) between a piece of equipment to items of another piece of equipment. This allows you to refer to equipment.items outside of the equipment hierarchy.
• Associate PLC Alarm Limits for Meters: This is an optional task that is required if you want to use PLC alarm limits instead of the standard analog alarm limits.
• Insert a Composite Genie: Create graphics pages with instances of Composite Genies that are associated with the equipment you have defined in your project.
• Create a new faceplate: Add a faceplate for the equipment to allow operators to engage with the equipment at runtime.
• Write Cicode functions to initialize PR and OR values. Refer to the Cicode Reference Online help for more information.
