Open and Operate Control Builder
Practice
The Purpose of this lesson is to demonstrate opening and operating Control Builder. After you complete this lesson you will be able to:
• Identify the tabs used to make structural changes to an existing Control Module.
• Identify the tabs used to change parameters online.
Prerequisites
• An Experion PKS Server
• The server name for your system (E20ESV##_Server), where the ## symbols represent your team number; will be supplied by your instructor.
Introduction
• Control Builder is one of the Experion PKS Engineering Tools.
• Controllers can connect to a server over FTE or over ControlNet.
• Control Builder can run on the server or an engineering workstation. If controllers are connected to the server over FTE, then a maximum of 12 Control Builder clients can connect to a single Experion server. If controllers are connected to the server over ControlNet, then a maximum of 4 Control Builder clients can connect to a single Experion server.
• The devices, as well as control strategies, are created in Control Builder and downloaded to the C200 Controller, C200E Controller, C300 Controller or ACE and the Experion PKS server.
• Configuration Studio is required to launch Control Builder.
• In this course you will use the Manager (mngr) account to log into configuration studio.
• The user name entered when logging on to Configuration Studio determines the access level of the user in Control Builder.

• The Experion PKS Operator profile can use a Windows account ID and password (Integrated Accounts).
• On a system with only one EPKS server, the Configuration Studio Connect window will show both a system and a server. Connecting to the system allows access to enterprise-wide configuration, while connecting to the server only allows access to server-specific configuration. Generally, it is best to connect to the system rather than the server.
• Identify the system and server from the icon, as shown below. The server is also categorized as Experion PKS Server in the Type column of the Connect window.
System/Server Icon Purpose

9 In the Control Builder application window, you will see a screen, as illustrated below:
Your access level appears in the lower right corner as shown.
ATTENTION
The status line at the bottom of the Control Builder application indicates:
1. Sync if the ERDBs are synchronized (only on redundant servers. The example above is a non-redundant server.).
2. The ERDB to which Control Builder is connected. This should always be ‘Primary’ which indicates that Control Builder is connected to the B server (the primary ERDB is always on the B server).
3. The Experion server to which Control Builder is connected.
