You can redimension in a later stage, but it is time-consuming work. The general rule is to plan
well from the start. Always dimension the spares!
From a configuration viewpoint, not all functions to create the infrastructure of the controller
are treated in the same way. Some of them are touched by all activities illustrated in the figure
above. Some are automatically included in the controller system and need only limited data
entry. For an overview, see Table 2-13, which features an outline of controller system
configuration information.
Dimensioning, creating and data entry are described in detail in separate documentation.
For a detailed description of the principles of the controller system configuration work,
the dimensioning and creation of records, and the interactive work using an engineering station,
see the manual AMPL Configuration Advant Controller 400 Series.
See Chapter 3, Configuration/Application Building for considerations, the maximum number of
items, and so on.
For data entry details, see the manual Data Base Element Reference Manual.
