Audit trail

Effective change management enables users to meet evolving business needs in a safe and secure

manner. Within the automation system, changes to system configurations must be carefully controlled

to ensure all modifications are traceable and accountable. S+ Engineering provides complete

audit trail support for those industries that require regulatory compliance. When deployed,

S+ Engineering’s audit trail functionality tracks and archives user actions including system

changes made at any engineering workstation onto a central database. These events can also be

archived in the system’s historian for long term security audit purposes.

Intuitive navigation

The workbench’s graphical user interface, object-re lated context menus, navigator windows and many

help functions provide intuitive user guidance. Within the engineering environment, users can freely navi

gate from a tag to its associated control logic documents (CLD). Cross navigation with S+ Operations

Human Machine Interface (HMI) is also seamless.

Users can right click CLDs to call-up a faceplate while operators in the HMI environment can right click on

graphic to go to the associated logic document via the view and monitor interface. From here, the oper

ator has access to the specific function code along with simulation via block detail utilities. Links to 3rd

party documentation like PDF user manuals, excelreports, etc. are also easily established.
