TriStation 1131 v4.7 Easy-to-use Developer’s Workbench Tool ready for today’s Safety System Configuration Demands

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEWTriStation 1131 allows you to:• Create programs, functions, and

function blocks• Define the controller configuration• Declare tagnames• Test and troubleshoot applications in

the Emulator• Download and monitor applications

A TriStation 1131 project contains all of the elements required to implement a safety or control application in a Triconex controller. Some of these elements are automatically included in every project by TriStation 1131, while others are user-created.

ProgrammingLanguagesTriStation includes these IEC 1131-3 compliant programming languages: Function Block Diagram, Structured Text, and Ladder Diagram.Optional: Cause and Effect Matrix Programming Language Editor (CEMPLE)

ReportsandDocumentationTriStation 1131 includes multiple methods of sorting data and documenting project elements, both during and after project development. Printouts of user-developed function blocks and programs can be obtained on a variety of user selected engineering drawing templates. Standard reports are available to document the project configuration data. You can also create customized reports with Crystal Reports™.

PasswordSecurityTriStation 1131 provides a security system that defines users and their privileges with regard to editing, library changes, state changes and other operations.

ProjectHistoryAn audit trail function is provided to document the history of a project and its program version changes. This detailed log keeps track of user actions and comments by automatically timestamping critical events within a session and manually logging user comments on demand.

AnnotationsAnnotations can be added to constants, tagnames, and variables An annotation can be used to display descriptive text, including information specified in system and user-modifiable macros. You can also display the value of a variable during program execution.

CommentsComments can be added to programs, functions, and function blocks to add information about the operations.

HelpDocumentationTriStation 1131 has an online Help system which provides detailed information about using TriStation 1131 and its features.

FEATURES IN TRISTATION 1131 V4.7 RELEASE• Enhanced SOE block configuration, including the ability to identify primary and redundant blocks

(use of redundant blocks requires SOE Recorder v4.2.0 or later)• Improvements to library management, including the ability to add a library in the Download

Changes state, and make partial library changes• Support for up to 63 Trident nodes• Enhanced Project History log now includes entries for when you enable, disable, or force points,

allowing you to keep track of when these kinds of changes were made, and who made them• Improved security features include Windows user authentication, user access logs, and more, per

NERC Cyber Security standards• Introduction of the new ALARMS library, which includes function blocks used for process alarms.

See the TriStation 1131 Libraries Reference for more information.• Ability to find/replace variable names and comments within selected text in programs• Addition of a new Print All command, providing the ability to print multiple project documents at

once, including programs, functions, libraries, module configurations, project history, and more• Upgrading projects from previous versions of TriStation 1131 (4.1 or later) no longer require

changing the project state to Download All• Various Emulator enhancements. See the new Triconex Emulator User’s Guide for detailed

information.

ProjectCompatibilityAny project created with v2.x through v4.6 can be converted to v4.7.0. However, once a project has been opened in v4.7.0, it can no longer be opened with an earlier version of TriStation 1131.

EmulatorPanelThe Emulator Panel allows you to connect to the Emulator, download, test, and debug the application control program. The Emulator Panel allows you to monitor tagnames, disable and force values.

ControllerPanelThe Controller Panel allows connection to the controller for real-time execution of the application.
