Adding a process control device

You can add the necessary process control devices in the Application Console.

An IEC 61850 device is added by importing tags and devices from data files.

To add a new device for Process Control:

1. Select the Process control tab in the Console window.
2. In the Devices and tags area, click the Add device button.

   The device editor appears in the lower part of the tab.

3. Configure the settings:
   • Select the device type.
   • Enter the device name.
   • Specify one or multiple protocols used for communication with the device.
   • Define the settings of one or multiple addresses for communication with the device.
   • If necessary, edit the settings for monitoring system commands for a device. By default, all system commands except those that are frequently encountered during normal operation of the device are monitored for the specified device protocols.
4. Save the device settings by clicking the OK button.

The tree of devices and tags for Process Control displays the device and its associated protocols for monitoring.
