Library Content

After creating repositories and library objects, add and configure content for library objects. Library content refers to the properties and parameters defined for a library object.
Read-only library content:
  • Revision History
    : The information entered when the current version of the library object was created.
  • Definition Data
    : The decoration added in the
    Library Designer
    .
  • Logix
    : The actual Logix code for the library object, displayed as XML.
In
Library Object Manager
 use the
Library Content
 column to add these features to a selected library object:
  • FactoryTalk View
     SE/ME
    : A Human Machine Interface (HMI) element, used for displays.
  • FactoryTalk Alarms and Events
    : A
    FactoryTalk Alarms and Events
     element, used for digital alarms.
  • FactoryTalk View ME
     Alarms
    : A
    FactoryTalk View ME
     alarm element, used for digital alarms.
  • FactoryTalk Historian SE
    : A
    FactoryTalk Historian
     element, used for tags.
These features can only be added after a library object is copied to a folder or the ACM Database. They are included in the individual HSL4 library object file, but are not added to the original ACD file.
TIP:
After modifying a library object using
Library Object Manager
, an asterisk (*) appears next to the object name until their repository is removed. When the repository is removed from the
Library Object Manager
 application, updates are saved to the HLS4 file.
When working with library objects, different tools are provided to help with the object configuration. These tools are opened by clicking the ellipsis (...) button next to a configurable item. The following tools are part of
Library Object Manager
.
  • Expression Builder
  • File Browser
  • Symbol Builder
  • Tag Editor
  • Message Editor
  • Message Builder
