Control Builder
Functional Structure
A Function aspect is added to objects in the Functional Structure and each diagram is allocated to a particular application in the project. The generated code is created inside single control modules in the Control Structure.
Object Type Structure
Function aspects are added to types in the libraries in the Object Type Structure. The generated code is created inside control module types in a library.

Any kind of MMS cross communication is automatically generated.
Combinations between control modules and function blocks on a Function Diagram are possible.
Navigation between references to different pages within one Function Diagram, or between different Function Diagram.
The objects names within a Function Diagram can start with a number and the use of a dash is allowed, e.g. 123FIC345-FD.
Generation of function oriented documentation in one step to document your control configuration according international standards.

Foundation Fieldbus
There are still some general procedures that have to be done in the Control Builder or the Engineering Workplace:
Create a control project
Assign some sub-libraries to the application or library

Monitoring Tools
Component view
To create symbols or templates for function components in the Object Type Structure.
Diagram view
To create function diagrams and to insert function components in the Functional Structure.
Parent Diagram view
Alternative to the Diagram view to quickly find and navigate to a component. It is opened in the Functional Structure on the selected component object, and it displays and automatically navigates to the component in its parent diagram.
