© ABB University - 12 Revision C Functional Structure Application Structures Structure the plant into systems and subsystems according to the plant equipment Organize process graphic displays, alarm sectioning etc. Displays aspect objects that are not directly related to any specific control logic, like a heat exchanger

© ABB University - 13 Revision C Control Structure Application Structures Define where the different parts of the control application executes Contains control networks, control projects, applications, controllers, stations etc.

© ABB University - 14 Revision C Location Structure Application Structures Helps the user identify plant equipment based on the geography or location of the objects in the plant Consists of buildings, rooms, and locations of the physical site

© ABB University - 15 Revision C Library Structure Application Structures Contains all object type libraries and its versions (Object types of these libraries are stored in Object Type Structure) Contains the templates for such object types as the Alarm and Event List configuration, History Logs, and Trends

© ABB University - 16 Revision C Object Type Structure Application Structures Create and efficiently re-use standardized solutions to recurring problems When an instance of an object type is used, the aspects that are pre-defined for that object type are automatically instantiated and associated with the new instance
