Participant Guide Project Administration Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) A programmable logic controller is a device that stores instructions and then implements operations, such as sequencing, counting, and timing, to automate machines and other processes. It is designed to replace physical mechanisms by simulating the functions they perform. For example, if you wanted to turn a switch on for 15 seconds, and then turn it off, you can attach an external timer to the switch. But on complicated equipment that has multiple switches, attaching an external timer to each switch would be impractical. Instead, you can write a program for a PLC instructing it to scan the status of the switches, and depending on their states, turn them on or off using a timer function block. The most common applications for PLCs are: • Relays • Counters • Timers A PLC is a microprocessor, made up of a CPU, memory, input circuits, and output circuits. It scans or evaluates the inputs, stores the information in its memory, executes the instructions in the program, and then updates the output. It continually repeats this scan cycle. Programmable logic controllers are flexible, cost-effective devices for controlling complex operations and systems. Triconex Controllers TriconexTM Controllers are based on Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) architecture, using three isolated, parallel control systems integrated into one set of hardware. This provides a high level of system fault tolerance. Fault tolerance is the ability to detect transient and steady-state error conditions, and to take appropriate corrective action online. The system consists of three identical channels (except for the Power Modules that are dual redundant). An application is downloaded and sent over separate communication paths to three main processors in the controller. The logic is scanned and executed by each of the three channels in parallel with the other two. The channels then perform a two out of three (2003) votes of the output data before sending the controlling operation instructions. Because each path is separate, no single-point failure in one channel can affect another. If a hardware failure occurs in one channel, the other channels override the faulty one. Repairs can be made to the faulty channel while the PLC continues to process programs without interruption. The system reconfigures itself to full TMR operation. The TMR increases safety, reliability, and critical control. 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 2–9 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Project Administration Participant Guide IEC Standards IEC-61131-3 is a set of standards for process control software. A programmer can develop an algorithm, named a Project, using any combination of the following programming languages: • Function Block Diagram (FBD) • Ladder Design (LD) • Structured Text (ST) The standard specifies the syntax, semantics, and display of programming languages. By using standard languages, users can read, review, develop, or maintain the programs for equipment from all vendors that are standard-compliant. A project is made up of re-usable entities named Program Organization Units (POUs), that include: • Programs • Functions • Function blocks POUs are elements organized in a sequence that is then executed by the controller. When a controller using IEC 61131-3 compliant languages receives a program that includes these elements, it executes the program instructions in order, sending the control operations to the machine. Each POU has two parts: • Declaration – The name and data type • Instruction – Predefined programming code POUs can be used repeatedly in a program and stored in a custom or user-defined library. These collections of elements can be imported and exported as libraries for use in other projects. Each language is a standard language, allowing a user familiar with standard languages to read, review, develop, or maintain the programs for equipment from all vendors that implement the standard. The IEC Standard includes a library of POUs that function as predefined programming code. As a developer, using IEC Standard ensures uniform programming. 2–10 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Participant Guide Project Administration The benefits of using the IEC 61131-3 standards include: • Re-usable software. • Reducing the need for developing new software. • Re-using proven, tested function blocks and functions. • Reducing programming costs. • Speeding up development. • Error detection early in development cycle. • Enabling logic to be tested and corrected before the runtime. TriStation 1131 Projects The first step in developing an application for process control to create a new project. A project is a database that contains all of the elements for the application. Each project file has the extension PT2. Parts of an Application An application is made up of elements (programs, functions, and function blocks) that are connected or sequenced in a specific order. These elements form the logic that runs the PLC operation. An application also includes the libraries used to create the logic, and controller functions and function block. The main elements for an application to include are as follows: • Programs • Function blocks • Functions • Variables • Tagnames • Data types • Libraries • Configuration 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 2–11 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Project Administration Participant Guide Installing TriStation 1131 This section explains how to install and uninstall the TriStation 1131 software, and how to verify that the software is correctly installed. The installation also installs the TS1131 Install Check software. The topics included are: • System Requirements • Upgrading from Previous Versions of TriStation 1131 • Changing a TriStation 1131 4.8.0 or Later Installation • Installing the TriStation 1131 Software • Customizing the Security Banner Text System Requirements The following are the minimum system requirements for TriStation 1131: • WORKSTATION running the .NET Framework 3.5 and one of the following Windows® operating systems: • Windows® XP Professional • Windows 7 Professional/Enterprise (32-bit and 64-bit) • Windows Server® 2003 • Windows Server 2008 R2 (32-bit and 64-bit) Note: If the .NET Framework is not already installed, setup will install it for you before installing TriStation 1131. Refer to Installing the TriStation 1131 Software. • 1-GHz processor with 512 MB RAM. • 500-MB free hard drive space. • CD-ROM drive. • Network adapter card. • SVGA monitor running at 1024 x 768 resolution with 32-bit color. 2–14 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Participant Guide Project Administration Upgrading from Previous Versions of TriStation 1131 If you are upgrading from a previous version of TriStation 1131, please note the following: • Projects created in previous versions of TriStation 1131 should be backed up using the version of TriStation 1131 they were created in, before opening the project in a later version. Projects backed up using a later version of TriStation 1131 cannot be opened by older versions. For example, a project backed up using version 4.8.0 cannot be opened in TriStation 1131 4.4 • If you have previously installed 2.x, 3.x, or 4.x of the TriStation 1131 software, you do not need to uninstall it before installing 4.8.0. However, only one version of TriStation 1131 can be open at any one time; for example, you cannot have 3.x open at the same time as 4.8.0 • If you have previously installed 4.x of the TriStation 1131 software, you do not need to uninstall it before you install version 4.8.0. You may want to keep both versions of the TriStation 1131 software installed on your workstation until you have finished converting all your projects to 4.8.0. However, uninstalling 4.0 after you have installed 4.8.0 will cause 4.8.0 to no longer work. To correct this, simply uninstall both 4.0 and 4.8.0 and then reinstall 4.8.0 • Additionally, if you installed other Triconex applications (such as SOE Recorder) after you installed TriStation 1131 4.0, uninstalling 4.0 may cause other installed Triconex applications to no longer work. To correct this, simply uninstall and then reinstall the other Triconex applications after you uninstall TriStation 1131 4.0 • Sample TriStation 1131 projects are now found in the following locations on the WORKSTATION where you install TriStation 1131 4.8.0: − Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\Triconex\\TriStation 1131 4.8.0\\Projects − Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: C:\\Program Data\\Triconex\\TriStation 1131 4.8.0\\Projects Changing a TriStation 1131 4.8.0 or Later Installation Starting with TriStation 1131 4.8.0, there are two versions of TriStation 1131: • The Triconex™ General Purpose (Tri-GP™) controller only version: Supports application development for Tri-GP controllers only. You cannot create applications for use with TriconTM or TridentTM controllers • The full-featured version: Supports application development for all Triconex controllers (Tricon, Trident, and Tri-GP) If you have previously installed either version of TriStation 1131 4.8.0 or later, and you want to upgrade or downgrade your installation, you do not need to uninstall it before running the TriStation 1131 4.8.0 or later setup program. During installation, setup will automatically modify the current installation to add or remove features. If you currently have the full-featured version of TriStation 1131 4.8.0 or later 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 2–15 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc. All Rights Reserved Internal

Project Administration Participant Guide installed, downgrading to the Tri-GP only version means you will lose the ability to work with Tricon or Trident project files. Installing the TriStation 1131 Software This section explains how to install the TriStation 1131 software. The setup program provided by Triconex installs all the components of the TriStation 1131 software on your workstation. • The Triconex Emulator 1.1.0 is automatically installed as part of the TriStation 1131 installation. For more information about the Emulator, refer to the TriStation 1131 Developer’s Guide. • If you purchased the optional CEMPLE software, it is installed at the same time. The TriStation 1131 software must be installed on a local drive. Do not install and run TriStation 1131 on a network server. Before you start TriStation 1131 installation, make sure that you have installed the latest service packs and critical updates for your version of Windows. To look for recent updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. If the .NET Framework is not already installed, setup will install it for you before installing TriStation 1131. If necessary, setup will also install Windows Installer 4.5 prior to installing the .NET Framework. Depending on your WORKSTATION’s configuration, Windows Installer and .NET Framework installation can take several minutes, and may require you to restart your WORKSTATION in order to complete the installation process. If you receive any errors during the .NET Framework installation, contact your system administrator for assistance. Note: During installation, you will be asked if you want to change the NERC Security (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) Banner message text. This is optional; the message text can also be modified at any time after installation. If you are not sure if you want to change the text, leave the default text as-is during installation. For more information, refer to Customizing the Security Banner Text Customizing the Security Banner Text Each time you start TriStation 1131, a security banner appears, Figure 2, advising you of the appropriate use of TriStation 1131. If you are an administrator managing TriStation 1131 installations in your organization, you may want to customize the security banner text to reflect your corporate policy, meet site-specific needs, or be in compliance with North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) cyber security standards. 2–16 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Participant Guide Project Administration Figure 2 – Security Banner Note: For more information about the NERC’s Cyber Security standards, a set of sound security practices that, if properly implemented, can assist in securing critical infrastructure from cyber security threats, refer to www.nerc.com. The security banner text must be customized in each TriStation 1131 installation individually. However, once you modify the security banner text once, you can simply copy and paste the text from one WORKSTATION to another. An easy way to do this would be to create a temporary text file with the security banner text in it, and place that file on the network, or on a portable flash drive. You can then copy and paste the text from the file. Also, the same security banner text can be used for other Triconex products that use the security banner functionality. For example, if your organization’s security banner text is the same for all Triconex products, you can use the same text for the Enhanced Diagnostic Monitor as you do for TriStation 1131. The security banner text can be changed during TriStation 1131 installation, or at any time after installation using the procedure provided in this section. You must be logged in to Windows as user with administrator privileges to change the security banner text. 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 2–17 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Project Administration Participant Guide Working with Projects This section explains how to open and log on to an existing project, add audit comments and a description, and view project version information. The topics included are: • Logging into an Existing Project. • Displaying Version Numbers of Projects and Documents Logging into an Existing Project Only one project can be opened at a time. TriStation 1131 projects must always be run from a local drive. A project that has been saved to a network drive must be copied to your local drive before you open it. Depending on the current security setting, you may need to log in using your Windows username and password. • If Standard Security (uses a simple username/password scheme) is enabled, there is no limit on the number of times you can attempt to enter your username and password • If Enhanced Security (adds another layer of protection against unauthorized access by requiring Windows domain user authentication) is enabled, the number of times you can attempt to enter your username and password is determined by your Windows domain setting For example, if your Windows domain setting is limited to three login attempts, after three unsuccessful attempts to log in to the project, your user account will be locked out. If this occurs, ask your network administrator to reset your Windows account. Note: If an existing TriStation 1131 project was created by a user with restricted or administrator- level rights in Windows, other users may be unable to open that project. Windows security file access rules apply to all TriStation 1131 project files. You must have read/write access to a TriStation 1131 project, and the folder it is located in, to be able to open the project. If you are unable to open a TriStation 1131 project created by another user, contact your network or system administrator for assistance with changing the access rights for the selected project file or file location, or both.

Project Administration Participant Guide Specifying Project Options Project Options are settings that specify the language, annotation, monitor, download, and Emulator settings used when new project elements are created. When you create new elements in a project, default settings are used unless you specify different settings. For example, the Default Language property is set to Function Block Diagram, that means that a new function is automatically created in FBD language unless you specify another language. You can change the default settings when you begin a new project or at any time during project development. The settings only affect new elements. The topics included are: • Specifying Language Options • Specifying Annotation Options • Specifying Monitor Colors for BOOL Values • Specifying Forced Points Options • Specifying Emulator Options Specifying Language Options Use the Language tab to specify the language and element types used to create new programs, functions, and function blocks. Specifying Annotation Options Use the Annotations tab to display a descriptive text about a constant, tagname, or variable, including information specified in system and user-modifiable macros. Specifying Monitor Colors for BOOL Values Use the Monitoring Colors tab to specify what colors are displayed for BOOL True and False values when the application is run on the controller or Emulator. This feature allows you to change the colors to meet an industry or corporate standard. Specifying Forced Points Options Use the Forced Points tab to specify if you want to be prompted to enter an optional comment when enabling, disabling, or forcing points on the controller or Emulator. The comments appear in the Project History log. Specifying Emulator Options Emulator project options should be set prior to starting the Emulator. Options changed while the Emulator is running will not take effect until the Emulator is stopped and restarted. Emulator project options are saved on a per-project basis, and do not need to be reconfigured each time you start the Emulator. 2–32 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Participant Guide Project Administration Managing User Access This section explains how to provide user access to controller and TriStation 1131 operations. Multiple levels of access control help prevent unauthorized access to TriStation 1131. Security Setting The security setting defines the type of authentication used to identify users upon log in. Choose the security setting that is right for your implementation: • Standard Security uses a simple username/password scheme. This is the default setting. • Enhanced Security adds another layer of protection against unauthorized access by requiring Windows domain user authentication. User security levels define what operations a user can perform while using TriStation 1131. Access is based on the security level assigned to the user, from the highest level (01) to the lowest level (10). Each level of security includes default settings for the operation privileges allowed for that level. For example, the Manager level (03) includes privileges for operations associated with managing a TriStation 1131 project. Only users assigned to levels 01, 02, or 03 can access the security controls for controller and TriStation 1131 operations. Each new TriStation 1131 project is created with a default username (MANAGER) and password (PASSWORD). Once you have created a project, you must immediately add at least one more level 01 user. This ensures that if you forget the password for the default level 01 user, you will still be able to log in as the secondary level 01 user, and have the ability to add or modify users, or change the security setting. To ensure unauthorized users do not access the project, you should create a user account for each person who will be working with the project before application development begins, and not allow multiple users to access the project using the default level 01 user information. Note: If a TriStation 1131 project was created by a user with restricted or administrator- level rights in Windows, other users may be unable to access that project. Windows security file access rules apply to all TriStation 1131 project files. Your network or system administrator can assist with changing the access rights for the selected project file and/or file location. Access to a project can be further restricted by settings on documents and operating parameters. If you are trying to edit a user document created by another user, and you unable to do so even when you have the correct user level and access privileges, check the document’s access property. If it is locked, you must ask the user who created the document to change the access property. Note: If you have a Tri-GP CM installed in your system, access to the controller through TriStation 1131 can also be managed through the optional access control list. 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 2–47 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Project Administration Participant Guide The topics included are: • • Viewing User Access Logs • Changing the Security Setting • Managing Users • Recommended Rules for Passwords • Changing the Security Level for Privileges • Changing Security Level Names • Viewing User Access Logs Changing the Security Setting TriStation 1131 uses one of two application-level security settings: Standard or Enhanced. You should choose the security setting you want to use before you begin creating user accounts. You must be a level 01 user to change the security setting. The security setting defines the type of authentication used to identify users upon log in to a project: • Standard Security: When selected, a username and password are required to open the TriStation 1131 project. No other user authentication is required. This is the default setting. If you used a version of TriStation 1131 earlier than 4.7.0, this security setting is the same as the username/password log in used in previous versions. • Enhanced Security: When selected, Windows and TriStation 1131 user authentications are required to log in. The username for each TriStation 1131 user must be the same as the user’s Windows username Note: If you change the security setting from Standard to Enhanced, make sure that at least one level 01 user has a valid Windows username before closing the project. Failure to do so will prevent you from opening the project again and/or changing the security setting back to Standard. Each TriStation 1131 project has its own security setting. Each time you change the security setting for a project, the change is captured in the project history. If you need to send a project file that uses Enhanced Security to Schneider Electric Technical Support for troubleshooting purposes, you must perform the following: • Make a copy of the project file. • In the copy file, change the security setting to Standard. • Send the copy file (with Standard Security enabled) to Technical Support. Leaving your project file set to use Enhanced Security may prevent technical support personnel from being able to open the project file. 2–48 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Participant Guide Project Administration Managing Users The Managing Users procedure includes creating, modifying, and deleting TriStation 1131 users. Only users assigned to security levels 01, 02, or 03 can access the Security window and view user access settings. Adding and Modifying User Access You can add or modify access properties for a TriStation 1131 user. If you change an existing user’s logon name, you will also need to enter a new password for the user, or re- enter the user’s existing password. Recommended Rules for Passwords Schneider Electric recommends configuring your Windows domain authentication settings to support the following minimum requirements for passwords, as set forth in the NERC Cyber Security standards. Passwords should: • Be a minimum of six (6) characters • Consist of a combination of alpha, numeric, and special characters. Special characters include the following: ! \" # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \\ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~ • Include at least one number. • Include at least one letter. • Include at least one lowercase letter and one uppercase letter. • Include at least one special character. • Be changed at least annually, or more frequently based on risk. These rules will not be validated by TriStation 1131 when you enter or change the user’s password, so it is up to you to ensure user passwords meet these requirements. Schneider Electric recommends you check the latest NERC Cyber Security standards (available at www.nerc.com) for all the latest applicable password requirements. If Enhanced Security is enabled, Windows passwords will be used. As a result, these password rules should be enforced at the Windows domain/Active Directory level. Ask your network administrator for more information about how to enforce requirements for Windows passwords. Note: When Enhanced Security is enabled, all TriStation 1131 passwords are protected from unauthorized read or copy access because they are stored and protected by Windows security mechanisms. This meets the NERC Cyber Security standards regarding password security.

Project Administration Participant Guide Changing the Security Level for Privileges This section explains how to change the security level required for privileges to controller and TriStation 1131 operations. By default, each operation is assigned a security level, from the highest level (01), to the lowest level (10). Each security level includes a set of privileges for that level, that also includes the privileges for lower levels. For example, if the operation is set to level 04, users with level 01, 02, and 03 privileges also have access to the operation. Only users with level 01, 02, or 03 access can change security level privileges. Note: If a CM is installed in the Tri-GP, access to the controller through the TriStation protocol can also be managed through the optional access control list. For example, even if a user has the correct security level privileges to perform a Download All command, if they do not have Read/ Write TriStation access through the CM, they will be unable to perform the Download All command. Using the Print All command, you can print a Project Security Levels report, that lists the security levels currently assigned to each operation. Changing Security Level Names You can change the names associated with security levels. If you change a name on this tab, it is reflected on the other security tabs. Changing the name does not affect the security level assignments. Table 3 explains the Level Names tab in the Security window: Table 3 – Level Names tabs Level Name Level Name 01 Corporate Manager 06 Maintenance Manager 02 Site Manager 07 Maintenance Engineer 03 Project Manager 08 Operations Manager 04 Project Engineer 09 Operator 05 Project Programmer 10 Level 10 Viewing User Access Logs When Enhanced Security is enabled, TriStation 1131 keeps a log of all user log in attempts, whether they are successful or not. These access logs are required for compliance with NERC Cyber Security standards. Note: For more information about the Enhanced Security option, refer to Changing the Security Setting. TriStation 1131 uses the Windows System Events Log to store the following information about user login and log out attempts: 2–50 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.
