Hardware Diagrams
A hardware diagram is a collection of hardware, software, and reference components that represent an automation system. Creating a new Studio 5000 Architect project adds a hardware diagram automatically.
Hardware diagrams are displayed in Hardware Diagram and under the Projects and Devices folders in Project Explorer. As hardware diagrams are added, removed, and renamed, the corresponding folders in Project Explorer are added, removed, and renamed.

Components
Components are added to a hardware diagram to represent part of an automation system.
There are three types of components: hardware components, software components, and reference components.
Hardware components represent physical hardware, such as controllers, modules, computers, visualization devices, and networks. Hardware components are displayed in Hardware Diagram and in Project Explorer under Devices. Hardware components are stored as part of the Studio 5000 Architect project file.

Chapter 4

A hardware diagram is a grid that contains components representing an automation system. A Studio 5000 Architect project can contain many hardware diagrams, which can be open simultaneously as tabs in Hardware Diagram. Components must be on the same hardware diagram to communicate with each other.
If adding or moving components past the right or bottom edge of a hardware diagram, Studio 5000 Architect automatically expands the hardware diagram to a new page. Page breaks appear as dashed gray lines and do not print. When closing and reopening a hardware diagram, Studio 5000 Architect automatically shrinks the hardware diagram to the number of pages necessary to show the components in the hardware diagram.
Hardware diagrams are displayed in Hardware Diagram and under the Projects and Devices folders in Project Explorer.

About unsupported modules on page 45

About unsupported modules Modules updated or imported from a controller or Logix Designer project
may not be supported in Studio 5000 Architect. When a module is not supported, Studio 5000 Architect displays an unsupported module image in the appropriate chassis, DIN rail, or expansion slot.

Unsupported modules have these limitations:

� Cannot change the properties of unsupported modules.

� Cannot move unsupported modules to another chassis, DIN rail, or

expansion slot.

� Cannot cut, copy, or paste unsupported modules. However, cutting or

copying its chassis or DIN rail copies the unsupported module.

Ownership relationship Producer/consumer relationship Shortcut

For components to communicate with each other in production, they must have one of three relationships:
Description
Connects one module to one controller or FactoryTalk Linx server. Connects one controller to another controller. Connects one controller to a FactoryTalk Linx server for use in a FactoryTalk View application.
Once two components have a relationship, they can communicate with each other using one or more tags. Add tags for producer/consumer relationships, point tags, and axis tags using Studio 5000 Architect or Logix Designer.

See also
Add an ownership relationship on page 83
Add a producer/consumer relationship on page 83
Add a shortcut on page 84

Add a point tag on page 86
An ownership relationship connects one module to one controller or FactoryTalk Linx server. Once the relationship is added, the controller or server "owns" the module and can read from or write to its tags. A controller or server can own multiple modules. Modules can have multiple owners. In large automation systems, ownership relationships can be very complex with many modules owned by many controllers across multiple chassis.
Ethernet devices owned by or added to the I/O configuration of a controller are counted toward the node limits of the controller.
Studio 5000 Architect software displays the owned modules for each controller in Project Explorer under the controller project's I/O Configuration folder. Studio 5000 Architect displays owned modules for each FactoryTalk Linx server in Communications.
To add an ownership relationship, one of these conditions must be true:
� Either the controller and the target module must be on the same chassis

Rockwell Automation Publication ARCH-GR001J-EN-E - October 2020

Chapter 8

Add relationships and tags

� Or the controller or FactoryTalk Linx server must own all communication modules along the path to the target module's chassis

Example
A controller in Chassis A needs to read tags from an input module across the factory floor in Chassis B. The two chassis are physically connected using an Ethernet network. Adding an ownership relationship between the controller and the input module is a four step process:
1. In Studio 5000 Architect software, connect the two chassis together using communication modules and an Ethernet switch.
2. Add an ownership relationship between the communication module in Chassis A and the controller.
3. Add an ownership relationship between the communication module in Chassis B and the controller.

About producer/consumer relationships

A producer/consumer relationship connects one controller to another controller. Once the relationship is added, the consumer controller can read from or write to specific tags provided by the producer controller. A consumer controller can consume tags from many producer controllers. Similarly, a producer controller can produce tags for many consumer controllers. In large automation systems, producer/consumer relationships can be very complex with many controllers producing and consuming tags from multiple controllers.

Studio 5000 Architect software displays the producer controllers for each consumer controller in Project Explorer under the controller project's I/O Configuration folder.

To add a producer/consumer relationship, one of these conditions must be true:

� Either the consuming controller and the producing controller must be on the same chassis

Common module configuration errors

When adding an ownership relationship between an Add-On Profile (AOP) module and a controller, Studio 5000 Architect software checks the validity of the relationship against Logix Designer relationship rules. If the relationship is invalid, Studio 5000 Architect software displays an error message.

Common error messages include:

Error Message
Child module incompatible with parent module. Network size exceeds the allowable size for a network. Child will not work under the specified parent port.
Catalog Services could not be found. This could indicate the Catalog Services is not installed. The maximum number of Ethernet nodes for this controller type has been exceeded. The module does not allow disabled electronic keying when safety connections are present. Module is not initialized. Likely cause is the module identity (CIP Key) or the module parent is not set.

Resolution
Verify module properties in Logix Designer. Remove EtherNet devices from the network. Add the ownership relationship with the controller using a compatible port. Verify Logix Designer and Catalog Services are installed properly.
Remove Ethernet devices from the I/O configuration of the controller. Enable Electronic Keying in module properties or remove the safety connections. Remove Powerflex 523 or 525 AC drive devices from the drive configuration of the controller.

Ethernet node limitations

See also
About ownership relationships on page 77
Add an ownership relationship on page 83
Any Ethernet/IP device that is owned by or added to the I/O configuration of a controller is counted towards the node limits of the controller. ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers count all devices connected to local and remote Ethernet ports.

Rockwell Automation Publication ARCH-GR001J-EN-E - October 2020

Chapter 8

Add relationships and tags

The maximum number of connected Ethernet nodes varies by controller. Use the Capacity tab in the Logix Designer software to determine limits for a controller.

Examples of devices counted as Ethernet nodes when added to the I/O Configuration tree are:

� Remote communication adapter � I/O modules connected to the EtherNet/IP network � Motion devices, such as drives � Remote controllers � HMI devices that are included in the I/O Configuration tree, for
example, PanelView Plus terminals � Linking devices, such as the 1788-EN2DNR � Third-party devices that are directly connected to the EtherNet/IP
network

The local Ethernet modules and embedded Ethernet ports are not included in the count.

Create and use libraries

Chapter 11

Create a new library

A library is a list of components from Logix Designer, FactoryTalk View, and other Rockwell Automation� products. Libraries are independent from Studio 5000 Architect and configured separately. Use libraries to add components to a Studio 5000 Architect project or export and import libraries to transfer groups of components to another computer.

Library components are add-on instruction (AOI), user defined tag (UDT), FactoryTalk View components, or hardware definitions exported from Logix Designer as .l5x XML files. Libraries have a .lal file extension and are an archive of the individual .l5x files, each containing the definitions of each component and any referenced AOIs and UDTs. The .lal file name matches the name defined for the library.

This table identifies the types of supported library components:

Libraries contain the components used to design an automation system. To export a subset of a library, such as a single folder of components, create a new library that contains just that subset and then export that library.

To export part of a library
1. From the Studio 5000 Architect menu select Library Management > New Library.
2. In Name, type a unique library name. 3. (optional) In Description, type a phrase to describe the contents of the
library. 4. (optional) In Revision, use the arrows to establish major and minor
revisions for the library. 5. (optional) In Revision Note, type a phrase that provides a revision
specific description for the library. 6. Select OK to create the new Studio 5000 Architect Library file in the
libraries directory (by default C:\Users\Public\Documents\Studio 5000\Libraries\Architect). 7. In Toolbox, right-click a component (or components), then select Copy. 8. In Toolbox, right-click on the target library or folder, then select Paste. Studio 5000 Architect verifies that components with the same name and type do not exist in the target folder or library. 9. Select OK. Studio 5000 Architect displays the component (or components) in the target library or folder. Repeat the copy and paste process as needed to copy the entire subset of components. 10. From the Studio 5000 Architect menu, select Library Management > Export Library. 11. In Export Library, navigate to and select the location to export the library file. 12.

Toolbox on page 13
A library component is a Logix Designer add-on instruction (AOI) or user defined tag (UDT), or a FactoryTalk View Studio display, graphic object, or image. When a component is added to the library, the export file is added to the archive file in the libraries directory.
Components with the same name but different types (for example, AOI or UDT) can exist in the same library or folder in the library. Components with the same name and type (for example, AOI) cannot exist in the same library.
Once a component is added to a library, the component can be copied or moved into another library.

To add a component to a library from Logix Designer or FactoryTalk
View Studio
1. Start Logix Designer or FactoryTalk View Studio and open a project. 2. In the Controller Organizer, drag the selected component from Logix
Designer or FactoryTalk View Studio software to a folder in the Toolbox in Studio 5000 Architect software. Studio 5000 Architect software adds the component to the selected library.

To add a component to a library from a project
1. Save the project in Logix Designer. 2. Start Studio 5000 Architect software and open a project. 3. From the main menu, select Library Management > Add Component
to Library. 4. In Add component to Library, click to locate the component, then
select OK. Studio 5000 Architect software displays the component in the selected library.

By default, FactoryTalk Security single sign-on is enabled. In most cases, FactoryTalk Security handles log on and log off automatically.
If single sign-on is disabled, users must log on and log off of the FactoryTalk Directory Network and Local Directory before using Studio 5000 Architect.
FactoryTalk Security policies set permissions that determine if a user or group can perform an action in Studio 5000 Architect or other FactoryTalk products. If the user or group does not have the required permissions, Studio 5000 Architect actions either displays an error message or has limited functionality.

FactoryTalk Security policy setting "Use single sign-on" (SSO) is enabled by default. When enabled, log on once per directory, on a given computer using SSO. After logging on, all participating FactoryTalk products that run in that directory on that computer automatically use the security credentials of the logged-on user. Work with multiple Rockwell Automation products simultaneously, without having to log on to each software product separately.
When SSO is enabled, no additional operations are necessary unless an alternate FactoryTalk user wants to use Studio 5000 Architect software. Use Log On to Factory Talk to log on that user account.
Keep these items in mind concerning how SSO policy settings are used with Studio 5000 Architect software:
� The Tools > Security > Log On To FactoryTalk menu selection is available unless the Studio 5000 Architect product policies are installed. Use this men to change the user credentials that Studio 5000 Architect software is currently running under, or to change from the SSO user if SSO is enabled.
� If SSO is disabled, Studio 5000 Architect software removes all ties with the computer-wide SSO at startup. When you start Studio 5000 Architect software a prompt to log on to FactoryTalk appears.
