System explorer

Use the

System

explorer to focus on the logical design of your project. Create FactoryTalk Smart Object elements to create tags, programs, and routines. The logic in the Smart Objects defines the behavior of an item in a system or a plant.

Reuse Smart Objects by adding them to the

Library

explorer for modeling a system or plant. For example, create a Smart Object for a tank in a large plant. You can then reuse the same Smart Objects for all tanks in the system instead of creating logic for each tank. Complete the design of the system and then allocate the Smart Objects to a controller in the

Execution

explorer.
