Weight
The DCS libraries are a set of lightweight blocks that are
constructed to meet the needs of the market, providing
best in class functionality with minimum code. They
can be customized for the site or individual device. The
options selected are readily visible in the code (no hidden
parameters). The result is a lighter program (needs fewer
controllers) and a clearer program that is easier to debug
in the field.
Support Customization
Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS There is no perfect library for every customer. The
libraries are tested, validated and documented, DCS libraries are extensible between objects but
specifically designed to reduce engineering costs can also be customized within the blocks. This is

to focus on the process rather than control changed. The customized objects can still use
configuration. They are embedded with our offers many of the functionalities of the library blocks

can be viewed as DFBs within the controller and
can be simply diagnosed by the engineers within

Connecting devices
Libraries enable the integration of Schneider Electric and third party devices via different open
protocols, making their data available through the DCS control system.
Supported industrial networks to make key data available within Schneider Electric power
• Ethernet I/P the control system. For third party management
• Modbus (TCP and serial) devices, the interface is open for • Circuit Breakers (Masterpact
• Profibus integration partners to leverage & Compact)
• HART the interfaces and expose data • Protection Relays
