Migration conversion requirements

The 1,000 SP The setpoint parameter of an analog point. The desired value of a process variable. Setpoint (SP) is an analog pointparameter, and the value is entered by the operator. The setpoint can be changed any number of times during a single process. The setpoint is represented in engineering units. See SP in the Control Builder Parameter Reference.

This section details how to migrate the existing profiles and recipes into the server database from a controller Also known as remote terminal unit, RTU. A generic term for a device that is used to control and monitor one or more processes in field equipment. The most common control and monitoring device in an access control and security system is an access control panel. Other devices include security monitoring panels, elevator controllers, and fire monitoring devices. Controllers include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), loop controllers, bar code readers, and scientific analyzers.

Set point profiles

To migrate existing profiles from a controller, a utility transfers the stored profiles to a block A unit of data and operation within Experion. Experion uses blocks as the component from which control strategies are built. The two categories of blocks are hardware entities and functional entities. within the server database of 1,000 profiles.

The utility is named umc800export, and may be run from the command line.

To migrate profiles

  1. From a command line, type C:> umc800export and then press Enter.

    The UMC800 Profile Export 1. In relation to Station displays, this refers to the process of registering a display with the server so that it can be called up in Station. See also: display, server, Station. 2. In relation to Quick Builder, this refers to the process of converting the configuration data in a project file into text files for use with other applications. See also: application, project, Quick Builder. Utility starts.

  2. Enter a valid controller number.

  3. Enter the starting profile number.

  4. Enter y to proceed.

For example:

**** UMC800 Profile Export Utility **** Enter valid controller number: 1 Enter profile number to start from (1 to 931): 1 All profiles in Controller 1 will exported to profiles 1 to 70 Do you want to proceed (Y/N) ? y Profile 70 of 70 Exported all profiles C:>

Recipes

No utility exists to transfer existing recipes from an HC900 or a UMC800 controller to the server database of 1,000 recipes. Recipes need to be recreated manually in Station Experion's main operator interface. Station presents information using a series of displays. See also: display..
