Objectives
System Managers are able to configure the application to meet the demand of the process operator. This lecture-based course combined with lab exercises provides the opportunity for hands-on experience to configure FAST/TOOLS.
The main objective of the course is to educate the participant fully to "FAST/TOOLS System Manager", who will be able to:

• add new users to the system.
• add process variables and to connect them to equipment (e.g. PLC’s).
• configure alarm situations (e.g. limits, activation, alarm text, suppression, acknowledgement).
• show process variables and to display historical information.
• process control functions (classes).
• define user reports.
• create mimics on colour stations.
• operate the functions on monochromatic terminals and colour workstations.
