FUNCTIONALITY
STRATEGY CONFIGURATION
SET can generate strategy for use with all IQ controllers. If required, it can communicate with devices accessed via the local network,
or internetwork to download the strategy.

It allows the engineer to build up a map of the network for the system that is being engineered by adding Lans, and IQ controllers
to the navigator. Once a device has been added to the navigator, its strategy is defined by adding modules to strategy pages, and
linking them together. When the strategy is complete, it can be downloaded to the correct device. SET can produce high quality project
documentation quickly, and maintain it at the latest version.

Graphical representation of strategy: The graphical

representation of the strategy displays the strategy on strategy
pages, using standard symbols. The strategy can be linked across
these pages using connectives enabling complex strategies to
be created. The graphical strategy representation is used when
creating or editing strategy. SET enables you to choose exactly
which of the module parameters are displayed on the screen.
These individual pages can be printed out to provide part of the
project documentation.

Automatic module numbering and sequencing: SET uses

pointers to keep track of module numbers and sequence table
steps used within the strategy. These pointers are automatically
incremented when a module is added to the strategy. This allows
SET to automatically assign the next module, and sequence step
as required.

SET
STRATEGY CONFIGURATION (Continued)
Standard Node use: When a module is added to a strategy, SET
uses the standard source and destination nodes for that particular
module. This ensures that the strategy adheres to conventions
with a minimum of effort on the part of the engineer. If necessary
any of these parameters can be manually adjusted, but normally
this will not be necessary.
Sequence table management: SET allows the sequence table
to be modified quickly. It allows a block of steps to be inserted
between 2 adjacent steps (ideal for adding pieces of strategy),
enables modules to be quickly removed from the sequence table,
or the position changed. SET also allows modules to be fast
sequenced if necessary.
Standard scaling parameters for sensors: SET is supplied
with a number of predefined sensor types (standard SET sensors)
that specify the correct scaling parameters for all sensors supplied
by us. If required, additional standard sensors can be set up for
other sensors that are regularly used.
Intelligent linking of modules: When defining the links between
modules, SET uses its understanding of IQ Controllers to
determine whether the link is valid. If it is not, SET will not allow
the link to be made.
Automatic routing of module links: SET automatically routes
the links between modules, so that they do not cross over modules.
When a module is moved the links are automatically rerouted.
This saves a great deal of time, and ensures that a strategy page
is easy to read.
Easy use of frequently used strategy: SET allows blocks of
frequently used strategy to be defined. The blocks can then be
reused as required simply by dragging them into the strategy.
Strategy mark-ups: If required rectangles, circles, lines, and
text can be added to the pages containing the strategy. This
enables the strategy to be marked up to indicate areas where the
strategy needs to be changed, or to explain how it works.
Strategy documentation and control: SET enables the strategy
pages for each device to be printed out, it is possible to print out
all the pages for a particular device, just a selected range, or just
the current page. It also provides a number of tables for each
device that specify items such as critical alarm modules, the
sequence table etc. that do not appear on the strategy pages. It
is possible to print out either all of these tables or none. SET
enables the changes to the strategy to be tracked. It stores details
of the current issue of the strategy, and enables a description of
the changes made since the previous version to be recorded.
LIVE VALUE COMMISSIONING
SET enables you to connect to a controller and display the live output values on top of a the strategy on a strategy page as shown.

Data Sheet
Fast access to strategy: The Navigator provides a quick way of
selecting the strategy for a particular device on the system. It
consists of three different areas: the device view, the plant view,
and the plant block area. The device view shows a map of the
system arranged by Lan providing a quick way of locating the
strategy for a particular device. The plant view enables strategies
for a particular piece of plant to be grouped together; this provides
a very quick way of locating a strategy controlling a particular
piece of plant. The plant block area contains pieces of strategy
that are used frequently in different strategies enabling them to
be easily reused.
Download: The use of SET projects that define where on the
system each device is, and what strategy is associated with each
device means that SET can download strategy to the correct
device without having to be told where it is. SET can also download
to a locally connected controller, enabling the strategy to be
tested before taking it to site.
Single Page Download: Allows a single page of strategy to be
modified and downloaded to a controller without erasing its current
strategy. This saves time if the download is over a phone line.
Strategy comparison: SET can compare an IQ2 file, or SCN file
with the strategy held by SET in its strategy database. SET
generates a report listing differences between the strategy held
in the database, and the chosen file. If required SET can update
its strategy database to make it the same as the file.
Import of ACE Files: ACE files can be imported into a SET
project. The controller is added to the network structure, and
strategy pages containing the controller's strategy are created.
File organisation: SET stores all the information relating to a
particular job (project) in a SET project. Information about the
structure of the network is stored, as is information about the
strategy created for each of the devices. A single directory is
created for each SET project. SET stores all the files relating to
the project in sub-directories within the main project directory.
This means that the engineer can work on several different projects
in SET and be confident that the files will be correctly segregated.
Configuration Mode: The Config Session Window provides
access to the configuration mode of devices on the network. This
enables parameters that cannot be configured using SET to be
engineered.
Export of Data to 963: The labels defined for a controller or
specified controllers can be exported to a 963 v1.2 database.
This saves time when engineering 963 and ensures that the
labels etc are correct.
In this mode the values of knobs and switches can be adjusted
by editing the modules on the strategy page to change the output
values. The new values are then sent to the controller and the
results can be seen on the strategy making it possible to check
that the strategy is working correctly.
Live value commissioning can be used in conjunction with live
editing so that the results of changes to the strategy can be seen.
The SET strategy and the controller strategy must be identical or
some of the values may not make sense.

LIVE EDITING
SET enables a strategy to be modified in the controller at the same time as the drawing on the a strategy page is modified. As modules
are placed onto strategy pages, or their configuration parameters adjusted these changes will automatically be sent to the controller.
This can be used in conjunction with Live Value Commissioning as a powerful engineering tool.

SYSTEM BROWSING
SET's System View enables the IQ System to which SET is connected to be browsed via a tree structure. Tasks such us entering
configuration mode, or mapping the Lan, can then be carried out on the items in the tree. The table below lists these tasks.

Enter Configuration Mode. Map the network.

Display information about a selected device. Send text comms messages.
Upload from a single controller. Download to a single controller.
Display a list of devices on a cer tain par t of the system. Display information about autodialling Devices.
Upload from multiple controllers. Download to multiple controllers.

Configuration Mode: The Config Session Window provides
access to the configuration mode of devices on the network. This
enables parameters within the device to be viewed, or adjusted
as required, providing the user has the correct access rights.
Map the Network: The Network Device Map Window provides a
map of the devices on the selected part of the system. For example
if a Lan is selected, the Network Device Map Window will display
a list of all the devices on the Lan. The window also allows other
tasks that apply to the system objects in the window to be started
in the usual way.
Text Comms: The Text Comms Session window enables user
entered text comms requests, or writes to be sent to the target
controller or Lan. The results are displayed as they are returned.
File Transfer: The File Transfer window enables the upload of
strategy from more than one IQ controller over the network, or the
download of strategy to more than one IQ controller.
To prevent overloading the network, a maximum of four controllers
will be accessed at one time; once the upload from one is complete
the next device will be downloaded to. Throughout the upload or
download process, the status is indicated on the right of the
screen, and the results displayed in the Results box.
Communications Window: The Communications Window shows
communications between SET and the IQ network.
Dialler Window: The Dialler Window, displays information about
all the autodialling devices on the network.

User Nodes: At the bottom of the System View is a branch called User Nodes. User Nodes allows the user to create custom view of their system.

COMPATIBILITY
IQ Configuration
SET can create configuration files for all IQ controllers, however it does not configure time, and calendar modules, it also only allows
the standard week times to be set up.

Network Access
SET uses the Communications Component (TCC) to provide communications with the IQ network. This means that if TCC is able
to connect to the Lan containing the controller, SET will be able to communicate with any IQ System device on that Lan. The table
below illustrates the different sites that can be accessed with the different connections to the IQ network.

INSTALLATION
The installation of the software is performed by a step by step installation program. The first time the software is run it will prompt
for an unlock code. If SET is to download the strategy to controllers, the PC running SET must be connected to the IQ network. SET
installation is described in the SET Installation Instructions (TG200155). SET installation also requires installation of a Communications
Node Controller (CNC), or connection via an appropriate IQ controller. Installation of the CNC is described in the supplied installation
instructions.

ORDER CODES
SET is only available to authorised installers. Contact your sales representative to order a copy.

To utilise all of SET's features a connection to the IQ network will also be required; this can be achieved using standard network cabling
with a Communications Node Controller (NBOX/CNC2/230). Connection can be made to the IQ network via TCP/IP using an Ethernet
Internetwork Node Controller (NBOX/EINC/230). Alternatively connection can be made to the IQ network via a SANC, this will require
the PC running SET to be connected to a V90 (56K) modem, and the IQ network to have an autodial device to which the PC can dial
in. These items must be purchased separately if required.

SPECIFICATIONS
The specifications below are those recommended to run SET. They refer to a standard PC with mouse, keyboard, hard drive, CDROM
drive, monitor, and sound capabilities (optional).

Hardware
Processor Intel P4 or equivalent.

COM ports, PCI slots, Parallel ports, and USB ports are required to allow connection of LNC2/CNC2, Ethernet network card, printer,
and modem if they are to be used. A single COM port and standard size PCI slot are required for use of an LNC2. Connection to a
CNC2 requires a single COM port. A standard size PCI slot will be required if an Ethernet network card is to be used. Additional COM
ports, PCI slots, Parallel ports, and USB ports should be specified as required for connection of modems, and printers.

The use of a good printer is recommended, which can be connected to either a parallel, or USB port. If required the printer may also
be accessed over the office IT network (providing a network card is fitted). This should be taken into account when specifying the
required ports for the PC.

If SET is to communicate with the IQ network via an SANC it is necessary for a V90 (56K) modem to be installed, and access to a
PSTN line is required.

If SET is to communicate with the IQ network over Ethernet a 100Mb/s Ethernet Network Card is an access to an Ethernet network
is required.
