5 Step Design Process
From process
design
to physical
model
● For the Process Engineer
1: Assign process functions to the UAG
physical model
2: Choose the library object for each
process function
● For the Automation Engineer
3: Design the automation architecture in
the topological model
4: Assign each process function to the
relevant automation device
5: Generate the application –
automatically

Schneider Electric - End User Software – UAG Business & Sales Support –July 2009
133
Instantiate Template Type
● Appliance of Naming
Rules
● When the Template is
instantiate the following
dialog is popped up
● Instance names can be
adjusted according to
the needs
● Instance names must be
adjusted according to
the naming rules
● The checkmark indicates
a valid name according
to the rules
Schneider Electric - End User Software – UAG Business & Sales Support –July 2009
134
Use instantiated Template
● Interlocks, Links
● Interlocks and Links can be defined with the standard workflow for Control
Modules
● Only those Interlocks and Links can be defined that were not defined in the
Template Type definition
● Already in the Type defined Interlocks and Links do not appear in the lists of
Interlocks and Links
● Connection to the Topological Model
● The connection to the Topological Model is done in the same way as for
standard Equipment and Control Modules, i.e.
● Assigning of PLC, HMI and Picture in the Equipment
● Assigning of IO_PLC variables to the IO cards
Schneider Electric - End User Software – UAG Business & Sales Support –July 2009
135
Additional Control Modules & Variables
● Additional Control Modules
● Additional Control Modules can be added to a
Template Instance
● They are not part of the Template instance but
displayed on the same HMI picture
● Additional Hierarchy Elements
● If the definition of the Physical Model allows
additional hierarchy levels can be added to a
Template Instance
● Color Indication
● Template Instances are displayed in blue,
standard instances are displayed in black
● There is no color indication for Variables
Schneider Electric - End User Software – UAG Business & Sales Support –July 2009
136
Modification of Template Type
● Modifications of Template Type
● Template Types can be modified
● Modifications are applied to the instances when the library is saved
● Impact on Instances
● A dialog is popped up that list all affected instances and the changes done
● The user can decide if the particular instance is updated, deleted or
disconnected
● In case of disconnection the instances are converted to regular Equipment
and Control Modules
● There are cases where an update of particular instances is not possible due
to name conflicts, e.g. an additional Control Module exists with the same
name
Schneider Electric - End User Software – UAG Business & Sales Support –July 2009
137
Define Template Types by Drag & Drop
● Drag & Drop from Physical Model
● Existing Equipment with Control Modules can be dragged to a Template
library node
● User is asked for a name and description
● All links to the Topological Node are stripped
● All references that are outside the Equipment and the Control Modules are
stripped, e.g.
● A Link Variable that is not part of the Equipment
● Interlocks that use those Variables
● New Template Type gets created and has to be saved
Schneider Electric - End User Software – UAG Business & Sales Support –July 2009
138
Reference Existing Template Libraries
● Existing Libraries
● Existing libraries can be opened via the context
menu
● Include
● To use an existing library it has to be included
into the project via the context menu
● Exclude
● An included library can be excluded via the
context menu
● Read only
● Only the first UAG project that opens a library
gets the write access

Summary Template Types
● Template Types
● Combination of multiple Control Modules with
● Variables and Properties
● Pre-wired Links and Interlocks
● Common or single HMI symbols
● Organized in Libraries
● Changes are propagated
● Instance
● Instantiation on Equipment Level as Equipment and Control Modules
● Wiring of the open Links and Interlocks
● Connection to the Topological Model
● Propagated Changes can be applied or Instance is disconnected
