Brief The class starts with a brief discussion of the system block diagram of a Graphic Central

System. All components of the system are discussed to a functional level.

The course first motivates the graphic generation process. The course then discusses

every graphic generation tool provided by the Designer program itself. These tools are

learned very quickly by extensive lab exercises and ample lab time.

After the Designer tools are mastered the course introduces the repertoire of cleverly

generated Honeywell graphic objects to be used by the technique of cut-and-paste.

The course also goes into a discussion of the aesthetics of graphic object proportionality,

color and symmetry concepts.

The course finally discusses the problem of graphic hierarchy as recommended by the

Honeywell literature and the techniques to implement the hierarchy. The course

culminates with a full discussion on graphic assignment and programming using the

Honeywell graphic user interface program. The course also covers graphic importing

from other graphic programs into the Designer program.

Brief The course first identifies an Excel Plus Graphic Central System using a simple block

diagram. The course then makes an immediate detour into the discussion of the nature of

the Excel Plus downline processor databases. The controller database is analytically

divided into what is called the Point File and the Program file. The course is concerned

with the nature and significance of the Point File.

At this point in the course it is shown how the Customer Program Pak is used to

Display/Modify any record in any part of the point file. To this end the operating

procedures of the Customer Program Pak are thoroughly discussed and learned via

elaborate written Lab exercises.

The course then shows how the modified database is checked via the powerful

techniques of inter and intra record checks implemented in the Database Validation Utility

of the Customer Program Pak. Database compilation and generation process is then

shown and learned. Finally, the database is downloaded into a downline processor and

tested on line. The inherent power of the Customer Program Pak is noted in that all

database modification functions can be performed without ever using any documentation.

Objectives Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:

·         Identify Excel Plus Graphic Central System Hardware including the Peer Bus

·         Identify software/firmware in all components of the Excel Plus Graphic Central System

CITS2104 Graphic Central HVAC Programming Using Customer Program Pak

(DNETPASCAL)

Class Type Programming

System Graphic Central

Duration 4.5 Days

Class Audience Programmers of an excel Plus System with a Graphic User Interface

Offered At Customer site or St Paul

# of Students Minimum 4 Maximum 8

Cost $2110 per person at site, $1827 per person St Paul

Brief The course starts with a brief introduction to an Excel Plus Graphic Central System using a

simplified block diagram. The function and intent of a DDC program in an Excel Plus panel

is then elaborated on and the difference between an Energy Management and a DDC

program pointed out. The course then goes on into a study of the elements of the Honeywell

Programming Language Deltanet Pascal, the language DDC programs are written in. Each

set of elements of the language is introduced with an example program segments which is

actually tested on line. The course also discusses the powerful Honeywell DDC operators

which convert the Deltanet Pascal language into a truly structured programming language

ideally suited for HVAC control. The operators are actually used in program segments and

tested on line.

To perform the above noted functions the course points out how the Customer Program Pak

provides an editor to write a program, then a compiler to convert the program to executable

code and then a downline load function to test and checkout the program on-line. All this is

learned with detailed written Lab exercises.

The technical functions of flowcharting, writing, compilation, downloading and testing of

programs are performed repeatedly to enhance learning and internalizing a certain

definitive analytical thought-pattern.

Objectives Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:

·         Identify the point and program files of an R7044 Controller database

·         Understand the nature and significance of an HVAC Control loop

·         Flow-chart an HVAC Control loop using Deltanet Pascal Standard Programming Symbology

·         Use the Editor program provided in the Customer Program Pak to write program code to implement a flow-chart for an HVAC control loop

·         Compile program code into the executable/object code format using the Pascal Compiler

·         Download object code for a DDC program into an R7044 memory

·         Test/checkout a downloaded program for correct on-line operation

·         Use all Honeywell Pascal HVAC operators to write error-free and easily understood

programs

·         Eliminate the use of the ‘IF’ statement from any already written programs to enhance program functionality and readability for trouble shooting purposes

Central front end. Also, Electrical trades people or Electronic Technicians responsible for

Engineering/Reengineering or Servicing an Excel Plus Graphic Central HVAC System.

Brief The course provides an overview of the entire Excel Plus system and its extensions and

enhancements. The basic portion of the course is a complete discussion of the entire Excel

Plus Graphic Central Engineering Sequence for any job of any description or complexity.

The course is very fast paced and learning takes place in large discrete segments. The course

focuses on developing a very independent thought pattern characterized by an aggressive

problem-annihilating and not merely problem-solving approach.

The course first presents a very detailed block diagram of the Excel Plus Graphic Central

System. The course then presents a small mechanical system to be controlled by the Excel

Plus system. To this end a point file is created quickly to define all mechanical and electrical

equipment.

This is followed by a Mechanical Systems Data Access scheme that is to be used by the

end-user. After this the defined equipment is set in required relationships with each other via

the programming language, Deltanet Pascal. At this point fire alarm equipment is added to the

already created point file. Fire alarm programs, if any, are also added at this point. It is also

shown that at this point Satellite processors such as Micro/Macrocel point files can be

programmed. This completes the data base creation sequence. Each record creation is

illustrated on-line using a powerful Honeywell Engineering Program. Students follow with the

creation of similar records via elaborate written exercises.

The created database is then checked via the Validation routines in the engineering program.

Error messages are interpreted and errors corrected.

The validated database is then compiled and checked via the Generation Utility of the

engineering program. Generation error messages are interpreted and errors corrected.

The compiled database is then used to print database logs and reports. These reports are

deciphered and interpreted. Their extensive nature and unusually comprehensive nature is

noted strongly.

The generated database is also used to test operation in Debug mode. This is off-line testing.

The generated database is then used to create media databases for the downline processors

and the central processors.

The course then goes into media database installation and on-line test and checkout.

Finally the entire sequence is done by the students again. This time the students work

independently on a given project. A successfully working project is a very satisfying and

confidence-building experience.
