To structure a project for redundant AOS Servers, create the WinPlatforms for each PC:
The Citect license is managed by Schneider's Floating License Manager (FLM).
- Configure SMS in the server, then the Identity Manager
- In Citect Studio, open the Projects window and click on "Pack" and then "Pack with Included Projects"
- Configure the "System Management Server" (SMS) in the Configurator. Set this machine as the System Management Server. During this process the system will automatically update the Web ports that are going to be used after by the WebViewEngine.
- Configure the "System Management Server" (SMS) in the Configurator
- The first requirement is to configure the AVEVA Historian
- Knowing the IP address of the License server open "License Manager" in the VM:
- Import the files inside the folder "Installation Files" with its sub-folders: xxxxx\GPL for ASP (OMI) Setup\Installation files

Tive o prazer de bater um papo com Nelson Terra, mestre em computação aeronáutica e engenheiro sênior de sistemas embarcados para foguetes lançadores de satélites. Durante o nosso bate-papo, exploramos sua trajetória profissional, alguns dos projetos em que esteve envolvido e os desafios de desenvolver sistemas embarcados para missões críticas.
- Open "OFS Configuration Tool"
- Open "Citect Studio" - Select the *.ctz project file
Right-click on "Derived FB Types" and "Get from Library":
I had the pleasure of chatting with Sigifredo Nino, an electrical engineer with more than forty years of experience in the process control industry. His career began in the 1980s at a coal power station in Colombia, after which he spent nearly a decade working at a pulp and paper mill. Later, Sigifredo moved to Canada, where he became a leading expert consultant in process control. Our conversation delved into his professional journey, various projects, and significant contributions to the field.
There are different system words that help the troubleshooting:
- The Pepperl-Fuchs Switch Amplifier KFD2-SR2-Ex2.2S can be used between a sensor installed in a hazardous area and the digital input card.
Runtime alarms: Open $ViewAppGP and click on "Edit Layout":
- Download the VEGA Tools app
- Connect to the device via Bluetooth
Link to the Modicon Libraries (GPL for Control Expert, AVEVA OMI, etc).
Check the latest firmware version at Schneider's website:
Check the compatibility of the profiles with the switch (reference document: System Guide Hardware in a Complex M580 System):
Open the DTM Browser and Open the NOC card configuration
I had the pleasure of chatting with Michel Ruel, a Canadian electrical engineer, Fellow of the International Society of Automation (ISA), and a legend in the process control industry. With over forty years of experience, Michel has worked in various fields, including pulp and paper, mining, and petrochemical, tackling some very challenging problems with great return on investment to his clients. During our conversation, we explored his professional journey, his numerous projects, and his significant contributions to the field.
It can be tricky to properly commission a VFD application. Here below some tips and tricks for the Schneider Altivar :
Asking good questions is key to learning. Some tips are to keep simple and follow-up when necessary.
Here are some examples of questions:
- Connect to the PLC Simulator and download a project file
- Working with different versions of Control Expert and projects may create some DTM discrepancies.
- Connect to the switch via Ethernet cable or USB-C
- From "Ethernet Switch Configurator" scan the network and identify the MAC address of the switch. Set the desired IP address and click on WWW to open the web interface.
- Using the USB-C cable, try the default web page: 91.0.0.100
- A ring topology, redundancy, needs a managed switch

- DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
- Single codebase for similar functions. Create parameters to configure / enable specific functions but keeping a single code base for better code development and maintenance. Examples: Loading / Offloading. Think about instances, for example rather than 87 different functions create 3 instances.

A project backup can be made from the OCMC: Galaxy Database Manager > Project (right click and Backup).
To restore a project, right click on the Platform Manager and select "Remove Local Platform".
Check out my question to the ISA's “Ask the Automation Pros” program regarding the migration of a project.
To establish a PLC to PLC communication add a Modbus device into the desired network (NOC or PLC) and then:
In Control Expert, from PLC tab, click on "Set Address..." button.
