- The trick to trigger a soft starter that is wired in line with a TeSys Island starter, is to send the run command to both of them at the same time.
For example: Supply MCB > TeSys DOL (TPRSS025) > ATS01 Soft Starter (ATS01N125FT) > 3 Phase Motor.

Start-Up Nation, published in the late 2000s by Dan Senor and Saul Singer, explores how Israel transformed itself into a global hub for innovation and entrepreneurship despite facing persistent regional tensions and limited natural resources. The book aims to understand how a young nation managed to outperform many larger and more stable countries in technological and economic growth.
AppEng = RAppEngGP / DIARDAppEng
- AppEng.Scheduler.ExecutionTimeAvg
- AppEng.Scheduler.HousekeepingTimeAvg

Note: It is possible to update the Scan Period from Object Viewer. Turn the AppEng's ScanState to FALSE, then modify the AppEng's Scheduler.ScanPeriod (e.g., 500ms) and turn AppEng's ScanState TRUE again.
- Open the web browser and configure the Master and the Repeater as below:
- The easiest way to configure a Stratix switch is through the Express setup. To activate it press and hold the button for about 20 seconds, then press for another second until the configuration port starts to blink.
Open the following configuration in the OCMC:
Historian > Historian Group > Server > Configuration Editor > System Configuration > Storage > Storage Partitions > Main.
Open the properties of the Circular Type.
Open the find box (Control + F) and select the Regular Expression mode in the Search Mode.
Type the expression in the find what box: \w+\.IsValveCfg\[[^\]]+\] := true
Install by Role (e.g., Stand-alone Server, Runtime Client, Historian, etc):
The first thing to do is check the current Libset version (right-click in Project):
In the TPRBCEIP Bus Coupler there are different LED Status that are helpful for troubleshooting:
Check out my answer to the ISA's “Ask the Automation Pros” program regarding variable frequency drives.
- Export the following files from the Managed Switch:
(English version at the bottom)
- In the Graphic view, assign an area to the object
- In the Studio, create a new role in the Security section:
- Go to the AVEVA's Knowledge and Support Centre website to download the installation and update files.
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
