Cross-Reference List Generation

1. On the Instructor Station Computer in the DYNSIM main window, click the Tools menu and select Update XREF with IA Series /TRICONEX I/O. The Cross Reference Update display opens.

   

2. Select Process Analog points and Process Digital points. If the controls contain any PLB blocks, select Process PLB Ladder Logic. Select Replace all existing Xrefs in database. Select Set blank model variables to defaults.

3. Click Update. This step extracts the analog and digital I/O points from the Foxboro control configuration.

4. Click OK.

   

Engine Name:

The Engine Name section includes a list of all engines configured in the simulation. If the simulation includes multiple engines, click the Replace all existing Xrefs in database button for the first engine. For subsequent engines, select the Append new Xrefs to database button.

Default Engine:

If the simulation includes more than one DYNSIM/ DYNSIM-L engine, change the Default Engine selection as needed.

Process Analog / Process Digital Points:

Typically, both Analog and Digital (Boolean) points are required and the default checkboxes should be selected.

Replace / Merge / Append:

Upon each button selection, Replace, Merge, or Append, the automatic cross reference generation tool creates the CrossRef.txt file and populates the cross reference table into a compatible DYNSIM format.

• The Replace all existing Xrefs in database button deletes the existing cross reference list and replaces it with the selected SCP Engine name and default DYNSIM engine name.

• The Merge new Xrefs with database button compares the selected SCP Engine name and the default DYNSIM engine name that already exists with the cross reference contents. With this option only the selected SCP Engine is merged. Other configured SCP Engines are not compared and remain unchanged.

• The Append new Xrefs to database button adds the selected SCP Engine and the default DYNSIM configuration to the database. It may result in duplicates and should only be used when certain about the current cross reference list contents.

Default Model Variables:

Set blank model variables to defaults populates the selected DYNSIM engine From symbol or To symbol with default values:

• Analog From Symbol: ZERO (value of 0.0)

• Analog To Symbol: ANAOUT

• Digital From Symbol: DIGFALSE (value of 0)

• Digital To Symbol: DIGOUT
