SIMATIC PCS 7 Logic Matrix
■
Overview
Logic Matrix Editor within the SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering System
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Logic Matrix is based on the principle of
logic creation with a cause and effect matrix - similar to the
SIMATIC Safety Matrix for safety-related applications that has
been established for years. It enables easy creation of the inter-
lock logic between technological functions (e.g. control modules
or equipment modules) of the automation project. There is no
time-consuming configuring of the interlock logic in the CFC.
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Logic Matrix Tool, which can be opened
from SIMATIC Manager, is used to create and edit the Logic
Matrix oriented to one controller in each case and then to
integrate the created matrix data at the chart level in the CFC
project. The APL-based process tag types of the Control Module
are linked with the cause or effect blocks of the Logic Matrix by
templates created with the Link Type Editor of the Logic Matrix
(Link Types).
The matrix table is comparable to a spreadsheet program. The
configuration engineer first enters the possible events (inputs) in
the horizontal lines, and then configures their type and number,
logic operations, timings, alarms and possible bypass functions.
He then defines possible actions (outputs) to these events in the
vertical columns. The events and reactions are linked by simply
clicking the cell at the intersection of the row and column.
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Safety Matrix Viewer enables operator con-
trol and monitoring of the Logic Matrix on the operator station
(OS Single Station and OS Client). The Logic Matrix faceplate
can also be opened via the faceplates of the technology objects
which have been linked together via the cause and effect matrix.
Based on this causal chain, jumps from the Effect faceplate
to the Cause faceplate and vice versa are possible via the
Logic Matrix faceplate.
