Create a Function Block Diagram Database Item

Each Function Block Diagram needs to be represented in the ClearSCADA database by a Function Block Diagram item. When you have created a Function Block Diagram item, you can access its Edit feature which allows you to create the Function Block Diagram program.

To create a Function Block Diagram database item:

1. Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar in the ClearSCADA Guide to ViewX and WebX Clients).
2. In the Database Bar, right-click on a system, Group, or Group Template to display a context sensitive menu.
3. Select the Create New option, then the Logic option, then the Function Block Diagram option from the context sensitive menu.
   A new Function Block Diagram item is added to the system, Group, or Group Template. It is selected automatically, ready for you to enter its name.
4. Enter a suitable name for the Function Block Diagram then press the Enter key or select another part of the interface.

   

Now that you have created a Function Block Diagram database item, you can edit it (see Edit a Function Block Diagram).
