Software

The ControlST software suite is comprised of several

high performance tools for ease of use by operators and

maintenance personnel. These include the WorkstationST*

software for management of HMI and Historian functions, the

ToolboxST application for configuration and diagnostics, and

a CIMPLICITY graphics user interface. Seamless integration

provides direct connectivity from parameters on operator

screens to their corresponding alarm history, trends, logic

diagrams, watch windows, and browsers.

Software tools include system diagrams with signal flow,

sequencing, and regulator control within the excitation

control. The diagrams display variables and their values in

engineering units and in real time. Parameters shown in the

diagrams can be modified.

The flexible communication architecture enables connectivity

to other plant control systems through standard protocols

and interfaces.
