As an example, we ve selected the Actual Value atom. To specify its PLC address, start by clicking the Driver specific addressing button. Then enter the specific address in the Driver Specific Addressing dialog box. Repeat this procedure for the remaining atoms. 4) Define the alarm limit values and corresponding alarm texts. To create an alarm text, click in the Alarm Text column and select New alarm text.

21 Page 20 of 26 5) Select the relevant scan interval for the process component (IGSS object). How often do you want to read the process value from the PLC? 6) Select the relevant data reductions and intervals. The data reduction values can be viewed in IGSS graphs and form the data basis of IGSS standard reports.

22 Page 21 of 26 7) Select what data you want to record in the IGSS LOG files. In this case, all changes are registered including outgoing commands issued by the operator.

NOTE: As you can see, there are already 22 objects in the configuration. This is because IGSS comes with a number of predefined objects for different system purposes. The predefined objects are included for free, that is, an IGSS license will include extra 15 objects. For example, the IGSS FREE50 license includes 65 objects. Click here to read more about Objects in IGSS. Calculating the number of objects in a configuration The number of objects is calculated as follows: One object is counted for every new object you create One object is counted for every new template you create One object is counted when you name the states or commands in a digital template (yet another object is counted if the template includes more than 25 states/commands) One object is counted for every time you use the valid commands feature in a digital template One object is counted when you define global function keys One object is counted for each diagram where you define function keys You can always see the number of objects you've purchased and the number of objects currently used in the configuration. Simply choose "Help About".

26 Page 25 of 26 STEP 5. Running the configuration 1) Look for the IGSS Starter bar which, by default, is located at the top of your screen. It can also be placed left, right or bottom dependent on your preference. Click the Start button. 2) The startup diagram appears in the Supervise module. The alarm icon appears immediately when you start up. In this case, there are no alarms. When alarms occur, the color of the alarm icon changes to the color of the most critical alarm. Double-click the alarm icon to view the active alarms. Congratulations! You have created your first IGSS configuration and brought it online.
