PLSDOC^® CFC - Editing and Reverse Documentation of CFCs

Reverse Engineering and Design Function Plans for Siemens PCS7, ABB Freelance, Emerson Delta V

PLSDOC^® CFC provides reverse documentation for process control systems in CFC presentation. PLSDOC^® CFC has been developed as a future-oriented concept for the reverse documentation of functions plans such as Siemens PCS7 or ABB Freelance. The function plans can be edited with the help of the CFC editor. 

• Design and editing of funtion plans with the CFC editor
• Comparison of CFC version statuses
• Reverse documentation of process control systems in CFC presentation

Benefits

• Automated reverse documentation of process control system software and output in CFC presentation
• Increased plant security: reduced error rates in reverse documentation result in minimized risks in plant support
• Transparency due to revision management: traceability of the different version statuses
• Reduction of running costs: e.g. support for audits or software engineering (pre-planning and monitoring of  implementation)
• Cost-neutral plant documentation: one single reverse documentation of 3000 measuring points will save more than 750 working hours
• Support for the migration of process control systems

Functions

• Comfortabe design and processing of function plans with the CFC editor
• Reading and display of existing logics from the process control systems, e.g. Siemens PCS7, ABB Freelance or Emerson Delta V
• Customizable CFC library
• Identification of changes and revision mangement
• CFC/SFC Delta function: Comparison between CFC versions and the graphical visualization of changes
• Design and editing of CFC/SFC plans with the CFC editor
• Import interface for Siemens PCS7, Freelance, Emerson Delta V

Technologies

• Central, databased reverse plant documentation in CFC presentation
• Independent of process control system and scalable
• Multi-project and multiuser capacity
• Multilingualism
• Generation of web-based documents
• CFC/SFC editing via editor
