Terminology

The following is a list of terms associated with Compact Control Builder. You should be familiar with these terms before reading this manual. The list contains terms and abbreviations that are unique to ABB or have a usage or definition that is different from standard industry usage.

Structured Data Types

An important part of creating re-usable solutions is to use structured data types. These serve as communicators (tunnels) through the application, and can in many cases be used instead of writing code directly in function blocks and control modules. If we implement object-specific code in every place, instead of using variables of structured data types, we would soon narrow down the dynamics and flexibility of the system.

Structured data types can be seen as a thick cable, with each component as a cord inside the cable. The strength of structured data types shows when they are used in connections between types. You can connect control module types (through several layers), without declaring any variables on each module level. One component inside a valve can be directly accessed from a parameter on the outside. If you, later on, need a new component, it will pass through all control module types and control modules with no additional interconnection.
