Reusable standard solutions
S+ Engineering improves the quality of control
strategy software by minimizing the risk of errors
of starting from scratch. S+ Engineering allows
users to define and maintain their field proven
control logic through the use of it Control Logic
Templates (CLT) and Configurable Function
Codes (CFC).
CLTs are thought of as control strategy
blueprints. Its linking functionality allows users
to define logic that is controlled by the template
or can be modified on each configured instance.
Any subsequent changes made to a template can
be propagated to all linked instances.
CFCs allow engineers to create specific control
logic using standard Harmony function codes
and then save it as a package which can then be
used as a standard Harmony function code in
control logic design. This simplifies the control
logic design and documentation by eliminating
the need to re-write the entire CFC logic contents
in every instance it is used in the control scheme.
The CFC can be represented by a custom shape,
control logic, defined inputs, defined outputs,
defined specifications and tag mapping. Black
box options secure user intellectual investments
in their control solutions.

Device management
HART and PROFIBUS devices are fully integrated
with Symphony Plus, yielding benefits far
beyond reduced footprint and cable costs.
The engineering suite supports configuration,
commissioning and maintenance of HART and
PROFIBUS devices using device type manager
(DTM) technology. For field devices that have
conventional device description files (GSD),
a basic PROFIBUS DTM is available to allow
standardized configuration. HART devices
are integrated, configured and parameterized
via standard HART protocol without the need
for additional tools by using a standard HART
DTM. Individual DTMs can be accessed from the
engineering tool’s multiple data views, such as
the system or location overview and others.
S+ Engineering includes automatic net calculation
and loading of process items by using the device
specific channel configuration generated from
the DTM.
On-line features allow for proactive device
monitoring and notification of problems with
quick access to device alerts and high priority
conditions. A built-in web view provides a Device
Status Dashboard, as well as an Event Viewer and
Device Details pages, allow for quick drill-down to
identify device root problems and corresponding
resolution. This enables to users to take decisive
action to increase plant reliability while lowering
maintenance costs.
