Learn how the proper use and structuring of parameters can help you customize automated system processes. Parameters can be used at different levels and make troubleshooting easier.
Parameter flexibility is critical for responding quickly and efficiently to changing process or system conditions without the need for extensive revisions. This allows production processes to be quickly adapted to new customer requirements or market conditions.
Examples of the use of parameters include pressures, process temperatures, positioning speeds, and various values of axes and actuators.
In Selmo structuring parameters are used at different levels: plant level, hardware zone level, and sequence level.
- The plant level includes parameters that are relevant to the entire plant or system, such as the overall performance of the plant.
- The hardware zone level refers to individual areas or components of the system and defines specific parameters that apply only to that area.
- The sequence level refers to sequences or processes within the system, such as opening or closing a valve.
This hierarchical structuring of parameters not only enables clear and orderly management, but also makes maintenance and troubleshooting much easier. These levels offer an extremely effective way to reduce the complexity of automated systems by allowing the system to be clearly divided into different areas, each with its own parameters.
