EcoStrxure Plant Builder Project creation



• Start a project from scratch or the recently used

ones

• The user can also start by using applications

templates

• From Water, MMM, CPG, … segments

Start page to Speed Up the project creation


• Start from one Segment application

reference architecture template

• Open it to create the project to be quoted

• Create a new custom template if

needed

Start from application templates


Example of Application Template for Medium Cement Plant

The template can be updated by the user to comply with customers requirements


Project configuration



Project Management page

▪ Improve the productivity by managing

a list of customers’ and contacts’

names

user workspace and can be reused for

all further projects

▪ The list of names can be easily

managed by removing or creating

contact names

▪ By selecting an existing name, all

information are automatically loaded

List of existing

contacts’ namesProject Description


User Preferences

▪ Different User preferences setting are

provided

▪ Select the language : English or

French

▪ Modify if needed some user

parameters

▪ Manage the custom catalog

▪ Manage the project templates


PAC Configuration Grid▪ Select the PAC CPU range

▪ Fill the grid with the number

and type of I/Os

▪ Create remote area if

needed

▪ Check the memory

consumtion

▪ Generate the configuration

Enter the number of I/OsPAC CPU selection Check the memory consumption

Tree View

Generate the configuration


Estimate the PAC memory consumption

• During the PAC configuration step, the PAC

memory consumption is estimated based on

• The CPU type

• The number of I/Os

• A level of application complexity is proposed for

better estimating the memory consumption

• Simple

• Complex

• Very complex


Add PAC Modules accessories

• Add accessories to all PAC modules

if needed

• Cables, Terminal block, Telefast, ..

• Use pre-defined accessories profiles

• Or create your own profiles

• Modify the proposed accessories

System Architecture Graphical View



System architecture graphical view

• The graphical drawing of the system

is automatically generated

• The drawing can be easily

customized

• Change control unit order

• Change area location in a control unit

• Change module in an area


Easy selection and connection of devices

• Select the desired catalog

• Select the desired devices

using filter

• Add accessories if required

• Drag and drop the devices

on the right control unit

• Modify the network

connection if needed

• As before devices profiles

can be defined if needed

Select a

catalog

Drag and Drop the

selected deviceFavorite

references


Accelerate the configuration with Last used and Favorites

• Accelerate the device

configuration with:

• Last added devices

references and profiles

• Favorites of devices

references that are marked

by the user with a yellow star

• Favorites are listed on top of

each catalog

Last references and

devices profiles usedProduct references

• New capabilities to draw multiple system architecture topologies

• Easy architecture building by using full drag and drop capabilities

Manage all types of architecture topologies

2 levels of control room 2 levels of control unit

Operation networksPAC concentrators

Control networks


Enhanced device network drawing

• Better network drawing using Ethernet

ports connection

• The RIO network loop is well drawn

• Same for all devices in daisy chain

• Capability to move quickly from a daisy chain architecture to a

simple chain or a star network architecture

Star Simple Chain Daisy Chain


Ethernet switches management

• The Ethernet Switches are now fully managed by checking

the number of ports used

• A warning is displayed in some cases

• An action is proposed to easily and quickly change the

switch reference when this warning appears.


Improve the ease of building EcoStruxure Plant Architecture

• Drag and drop a device on an Ethernet network, an

Ethernet module, or an Ethernet switch to quickly

connect the device

• The Ethernet network is created automatically if it is not

yet present on the architecture

• Same behavior if the device is drag and drop on a NOS

moduleA new Ethernet

network is

created


Re-Organize the architecture drawing

• Drag and drop a Control Unit under another one to create a

PAC concentrator architecture

• Drag and drop a location in a control unit

to change its position

PAC concentrator

architecture


Create two levels of control room

• Drag and drop a PC, a Server or an iPC on the Control Room for

integrate it

• Drag and drop a PC, a server or an iPC above the existing

control room to connect it to an operation network and to

create a new level of control room


Manage EcoStruxure Plant IIOT architectures

• Create an IIOT architecture for

• Secondary sensing application

• Augmented reality, ..

• New catalog available that includes

Magelis Edge box, Harmony Hub and

Wireless Zigbee sensors

• Augmented Operator Advisor is also

integrated in the list of supported softwares

• Harmony hub can be included in an

existing control unit or in a separate control

unit

Magelis Edge Box

Harmony Hub

Zigbee Sensors


Example of EcoStruxure Plant Architecture Drawing

• The drawing can be exported to

several formats:

- PNG

- SVG (for Visio update)

- BMP

- The color of all Ethernet networks

can be modified

Open the tool with a custom catalog



• Use a custom catalog to easily add product references that

are not part of the Builder catalogs

• Add third party references or other Schneider Electric references

– End devices, software licences

• One custom catalog can be created and maintained by a user

• A dedicated excel file is used to add and manage all new products

references

• The custom catalog contains the description of all new

references

• Product reference, Product description, Image, network capabilities,….

• The custom catalog can be then used like all other catalogs

• The custom catalog can been shared my exporting it

Manage a custom catalog to open the tool


How to use the Custom catalog

→The Custom catalog devices will be part of the project BOM.

→The Custom catalog devices must be added on the price files to be included in the project quotation

Select the custom catalog in the catalog list

Fill the custom catalog with all new references→End devices with accessories

→Software licenses for the control room

Select a catalog device and drag and drop it

on the architecture

Custom devices catalog are managed like all

other devices


• New devices are added in the custom catalog

• The devices are then dragged and dropped in the architecture and

connected to a network
