The Frame Template (FT) comprises the common components that are used across all projects and modules. A basic layer of commonly used AVEVA Products, MES database, automation interfaces and centralized functionalities like localization, navigation, the AVEVA CONNECT publisher, and others in the solution structure.

Frame Template is the core library of objects, functions, templates. It is the foundation on which all MES Modules are built.
