Control Module Development/Implementation

I am setting up DeltaV to be used as a "wireless manager" at a customer site with DeltaV Ready Wireless Gateways (1420). 

I would like to output PV/SV/TV/FV, Alarm and OINTEG/STATUS information for each wireless device and display it on an operator graphic to show a matrix overview of all devices in the plant. 

Is there an easy way to be able to assign a DST (such as LT-2160) as a variable in the control module just once and then have the control module reference that "variable" for each of the output blocks?  (e.g., LT-2160/COMM_ALM, LT-2160/MAINT_ALM, LT-2160/HART_PV, etc.)?  Do I have to change every output block manually per each instrument to get the data?

Thanks!

    Paul,

    I have done something similar for customers before but it was only be used at the graphics (SCADA values). Are you looking to just display on a graphic or actually use the value(s) in a control module?

    Regards,

    Matt

    I need to pull off hart alarms so I think they each need a control module. Most of the values are just used for display though.

    Paul, you don't need to pull in the Device Alerts into your Control Module. If you commission the HART device and the device Alerts is auto enable and assigned to Area_A. When the device Alerts get trigger, it will show up in your Alarm list/banner. You need to think about what alerts you want to enable and who need to see them. It could cause a flooding of alerts to the operator that they may not want. Alarm and Alert Management is recommended.

    Thank you for your help. Makes it so much easier to only build one control module for each gateway and not have to worry about more than alarm management for the devices (there are a TON of HARA alarms).
