8. SIMATIC PCS 7 Introduction to Logic Matrix
Logic Matrix solves a number of problems in the process automation industry:
Provides an comprehensive tool spanning multiple phases of the automation process lifecycle
Reduces development effort
Reduces operator response time and workload

9. Logic Matrix: Comprehensive tool spanning phases of the automation lifecycle
Consistent view for design, documentation, implementation, test and operations phases
Simplifies documentation with easy to understand interface
Built-in version tracking
Powerful programming language
Supports complicated trip conditions, far superior to traditional interlock function blocks
Allows sequential logic to be easily developed and visualized
The Logic Matrix is a comprehensive tool providing support in a many phases of your process plant‘s automation lifecycle.
During the HAZOP meetings in the analysis phase, LM offers a simplied method of documenting the design of the process conditions and their associated process response(s) in a graphical view similar to the format of safe charts specified in API RP 14C.
The simplified interface allows the non-programmer to define complicated conditions with a rich selections of options for filtering, alarming and operator functionality.
With its consistent view of process conditions and responses, the LM easily facilitates transistions from the design to implementation, while reducing development costs.

10. Logic Matrix: Comprehensive tool spanning phases of the automation lifecycle

Like Causes, Effects support multiple tags and many options, such as reset tags, delays, bypassing, etc.

16. Logic Matrix: Comprehensive tool spanning phases of the automation lifecycle
Logic Matrix as a documentation/design tool
Intersections associate a Cause with an Effect
A Cause can be associated with any number of Effects
Likewise an Effect can be associated with any number of Causes

R – Combination Stored and Overridable

18. Logic Matrix: Reducing your engineering development effort
From Documentation/Design to Implementation
Automatically generates the program
Eliminates translation errors
Reduces need to develop custom function blocks
Automatic visual feedback on HMI screens
From the documented design, the associated logic is automatically generated, reducing cost and more importantly eliminating translation errors.
The powerful programming capability of LM supports advanced trip conditions such as: mixed analog and discretes; XooN voting; timing functions; rate of change; quality based automatic voting degradation as well as many more, without the need to develop test and maintain custom FBs or charts.
From the controller logic, the HMI symbols and faceplates are automatically generated fascilitating ease of commissioning and operations with the same graphical format.
With the HMI object automatically generated, there is no need for additional engineering of indicators for trip conditions or states.
