MicroSCADA Pro Partners Club 04/2007 © ABB What is Workplace? It is equal to the computer with physical screen(s) and keyboard dedicated to one person Through Workplace session the Operator interacts with the MicroSCADA Pro SYS 600 Control system Several Monitor Pro’s can be used in one Workplace Windows look-and-feel, operator graphics including zooming, panning and de-cluttering And also Classic Workplaces containing Operator graphics based on LIB 5xx graphics Engineering tasks Workplace locations Local Distributed Workplaces
MicroSCADA Pro Partners Club 04/2007 © ABB Workplaces Server-based computing is applied for distributed Workplaces In server-based computing, multi-user capabilities allow applications and data to be deployed, managed, supported and executed 100 percent on the server Multiple concurrent users log on and run SYS 600 applications in separate, protected sessions on a single server Keystrokes, mouse clicks and screen updates travel the network This results that the CPU capacity/amount with RAM size has to correlate with the amount of Workplaces
MicroSCADA Pro Partners Club 04/2007 © ABB Workplaces Simultaneously there can be maximum 20 Monitor Pro Workplaces into one Application SYS 600 Workplace SYS 600 Terminal Server / Citrix Metaframe RDP / ICA, TCP/IP SYS 600 Workplace System example SYS 600 Workplace (Local)
MicroSCADA Pro Partners Club 04/2007 © ABB Sizing of process displays When doing application design for process displays there are two approaches to consider World picture One process display representing the world, which contains all the objects in one display only Navigation occurs inside the display via pre-zoomed areas Simultaneous display engineering requires guidelines for the de-cluttering levels and coordinates reserved for the bays Multiple pictures Each of the process display has objects related to some categorization, e.g. bay or geographical area Navigation occurs between the process displays
MicroSCADA Pro Partners Club 04/2007 © ABB Sizing of process displays Design considerations Loading time The amount of all objects in a display increases the loading time Updating time The amount of dynamic objects in a display increases the resource usage (CPU) Object amount Resource usage Loading time Updating time 5000
