Library Object Manager overview

Use

Library Object Manager

to publish library objects to the ACM database or to a file in HSL4 format. HSL4 files can be distributed individually or as part of a repository.

After publishing a library object, use

Library Object Manager

to add HMI displays (

FactoryTalk® View Site Edition (SE)

or

FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition (ME)

) and Historian (

FactoryTalk® Historian Site Edition

) components to support requirements. Features added in the

Library Object Manager

application save to the individual HSL4 file or database entry for the Library object and do not save to the original ACD file.

Each library object file saved from the

Library Object Manager

application is classified within a four-level hierarchy:

Each library object file must have a distinct version number per solution. Just as the same Logix object can be used to create one or many library objects within the

Library Designer

, the same Library object can be used to create one or many distinct library object files within the

Library Object Manager

application.

Library objects can be quickly distributed, then registered into and configured for multiple projects in multiple locations. Library objects are available to any project that requires the functionality the library object provides.

Using

Library Object Manager

projects can be built and executed without high-level programming support.

Use the

Library Object Manager

application to perform these tasks:
