PLSDOC^® CFC - Editing and Reverse Documentation of CFCs

Reverse Engineering and Design of Function Charts 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 function charts in systems such as Siemens PCS7 or ABB Freelance. The function charts can be edited with the help of the CFC editor. 

• Design and editing of function charts 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 safety: 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

• Convenient design and processing of function charts 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 management
• 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, database-driven reverse plant documentation in CFC presentation
• Independent of process control system and scalable
• Multi-project and multiuser capability
• Multilingualism
• Generation of web-based documents
• CFC/SFC editing via editor
