If you created your project by selecting the Create project based on starter project check box in the New Project dialog, Alarm, SOE, Disabled, Hardware, ProcessAnalyst, !ProcessAnalystPopup, ControlInhibit, ManualOverride, VariableTags and generic equipment pop-up pages would already have been created in your new project. You can accept those pages or modify them as you develop your project. See Create a New Project.
If you created your project from scratch, there are no predefined pages in your project. The navigation controls on the tab template expect several default pages to exist in your project for basic functionality such as alarm and trend displays. You are recommended to add the following pages to your project based on the provided templates of your chosen size:
|
Template |
Description |
|---|---|
|
SinglePA or DoublePA |
Process Analyst page for displaying trends. |
|
!PopPA |
Process Analyst pop-up page. |
|
Alarm |
Active Alarms page, called from the Alarms toolbar. |
|
Hardware |
Hardware Alarms page, called from the Alarms toolbar. |
|
Disabled |
Disabled Alarms page, called from the Alarms toolbar. |
|
Summary |
Alarms Summary page, called from the Alarms toolbar using the Historical events icon. |
|
SOE (Sequence of Events) |
Sequence of events page, called from the Alarms toolbar using the Historical events icon. |
The links between the pages listed and the controls that call them are defined by the [Page] parameter settings within the Citect.ini file. The relevant parameters are [Page]ProcessAnalystPage, [Page]ProcessAnalystPopupPage, [Page]AlarmPage and [Page]HardwarePage, etc. If you want a button to call a page with a different name, adjust these parameter settings. For details see Page Parameters.
Creating new tab pages using the normal template
The normal template in the tab style template library is designed with minimal content to enable the presentation of customer-necessary information and plant mimics.
Pages are created based on this template within Graphics Builder by choosing the necessary template from the Use Template dialog (File | New Page). You can access the tab style templates by selecting tab_style_1 from the Style field.
