How to create a drop in Server in case of Emerson Ovation Dcs? I am new in this field. Please tell.

 

There are two basic types of drops that can be added to a system: workstation and controllers.

To Insert a DROP:
1. Launch the Ovation Developer Studio

2. Use the system tree (in the hardware view bar) to navigate to the drops folder:
System
Network
Units

3. Right click on the drop folder.

4. Select Insert New. The Insert New Wizard appears.

5. Type the drop id value field(1-254).

6. If a partner drop is to be used, type the partner id value field (1-254)

7. Select the desired drop type from the drop-type pull-down menu. then, to finish inserting a drop for:
