If you created your project by selecting the Create project based on starter project check box in the New Project dialog, pages of Alarm, Summary, SOE, Disabled, Hardware, ProcessAnalyst and !ProcessAnalystPopup will already be created in your new project. You can accept those pages or modify them as you develop your project. See Creating a new project.
If you created your project from scratch, there are no predefined pages in your project. The navigation controls at runtime on the StruxureWare template expect several default pages to exist in your project for basic functionality such as alarm and trend displays. You are recommended to add the following pages to your project based on the provided templates of your chosen size:
|
Template |
Description |
|---|---|
|
SinglePA or DoublePA |
Process Analyst page for displaying trends. |
|
!PopPA |
Process Analyst pop-up page. |
|
Data Browse Template |
Tag Browse page. |
|
Alarm |
Active Alarms page, called from the Alarms toolbar. |
|
Hardware |
Hardware Alarms page, called from the Alarms toolbar. |
|
Disabled |
Disabled Alarms page, called from the Alarms toolbar. |
|
Summary |
Alarms Summary page, called from the Alarms toolbar using the Historical events icon. |
|
SOE (Sequence of Events) |
Sequence of events page, called from the Alarms toolbar using the Historical events icon. |
The links between the pages listed and the controls that call them are defined by the [Page] parameter settings within the Citect.ini file. The relevant parameters are [Page]ProcessAnalystPage, [Page]ProcessAnalystPopupPage, [Page]AlarmPage and [Page]HardwarePage, etc. If you want a button to call a page with a different name, adjust these parameter settings. For details see Page Parameters.
