What are Alarm Severities. What is Alarm Shelving and Alarm Plant Modes. Using the Historian to log alarms and events. Focus of presentation: what you’ll talk about Brand & Vertical: Wonderware & Industries or technology What you’ll take away: 3 or 4 main points audience should remember

Agenda The Unified Attribute Name Space Auto References with IO Binding Alarm enhancements

Requirements and Expectations Proficient in Application Server Proficient in InTouch and ArchestrA Graphics

Unified Name Space The new Attributes tab

The Attributes Tab Combines the capabilities of: User-Defined Attributes Extensions Field Attributes It is available in all automation objects in the Galaxy. User-Defined Attributes + Extensions get automatically converted to the new Attributes. Field Attributes do get converted automatically. Patch 01 includes a conversion option for Field Attributes. An analog attribute configured in the new Attributes tab

The Power of One… Attribute Capability UDA + Extension Field Attribute Attribute Available All objects $UserDefined object Data Types Boolean Integer, Float, Double String Elapse Time Time Internationalized String Description No Yes Category / Writeability 1 Calculated Calculated Retentive Object Writeable User Writeable - Arrays Yes 2 Comparison between all three options. 1 The InternationalizedString data type is writeable on configuration time only 2 Not applicable to the InternationalizedString data type

The Power of One… Attribute (cont.) Capability UDA + Extension Field Attribute Attribute I/O Yes 1 Yes Scaling No Statistics Boolean Analog Historization Yes 1, 2 Alarming Log / Event change Comparison between all three options (cont.). 1 Not applicable to the InternationalizedString data type 2 Not applicable to the Time data type

Attribute Features Data Type I/O History State alarm Limit alarm ROC alarm Deviation alarm Bad value alarm Statistics Log change Boolean  Integer Float Double String Elapse Time Time Internationalized String Features available per data type.

IO Binding Automatic attribute references

Automatic I/O Reference Binding New IO Devices and IO Device Mapping views allow automatic configuration of I/O references. Based on naming conventions for objects and attributes names. Allows overriding references. It only works with the I/O feature of the new Attributes. Objects with built-in attribute references do not work with auto-binding; for example: $DiscreteDevice, $AnalogDevice, $OperationsCapability, $UtilizationCapability, etc. The IO Devices and IO Devices Mapping views show automatically generated IO references

From the PLC to the Attribute DIO.Topic1.Mixer100.Level.PV Mixer100.Level.PV Object DIO DAS PLC Address Space Attribute Topic Topic Item Alias List (csv) First: when using “modern” PLC that support a mnemonic namespace. Second: when using a legacy system with register addresses; aid by the use of an alias list. The alias list can be loaded in the DAS or the DIO. Loading the alias list it in the DAS: Reduces performance hit on runtime; the csv content is deployed by with the DIO and the DIO needs to do the translation. Allows other DIOs and systems to take advantage DIO.Topic1.Mixer100.Level.PV Mixer100.Level.PV , 30001 30001

Alarm Enhancements Alarm Severities, Alarm Plant State, Alarm Shelving, Security and Alarm Logging Alarm Severities: concept, aggregation, attributes, symbols (alarm border and alarm severity), and Alarm Border animation. Alarm Plant State: concept and attributes. Alarm Shelving: concept, attributes, and alarm modes/states. Alarm Permissions: New security permissions. Alarm and Event Logging: concept and options.

Alarm Severities Provides a mechanism to categorize alarms in four distinct groups based on the criticality (priority) of the alarm. Severities can be aggregated from the attributes all the way up to the Area. Display capabilities in the form of Alarm Border and Alarm Severity Symbol. Severity number logged on User1 column. User1 column not previously used by Application Server alarm logging. The Alarms and Events Configuration dialog box

Alarm Severities Aggregation Attribute Object (Contained) Object (Container) Sub-Area Area Alarm Severity aggregated counts: AlarmCntsBySeverity » Integer[4] Most Urgent Alarm information: AlarmMostUrgentSeverity » Integer AlarmMostUrgentInAlarm » Boolean AlarmMostUrgentAcked » Boolean AlarmMostUrgentMode » Enum AlarmMostUrgentShelved » Boolean All attributes are read-only. From bottom-left to top-right: All alarms in a single attribute (Alarms in a Temperature attribute: Hi, ROC, etc.) All attributes in an object (Attributes in a tank object: Level, Temperature, etc.) All contained objects (Objects contained in a Mixer: Valve, Pump, etc.) All objects in an Area (Objects hosted in Line 1: Mixer100, Mixer200, etc.) All areas in an Area (Areas in Production: Line 1, Line 2, etc.) Alarm Severity attributes available at: Areas (includes all objects and sub-areas) Objects (includes contained objects) Attributes (includes all alarms in the field attribute)

Alarm Plant State Provides context when setting the Alarm Mode (Enable, Disable, Silence) for an area. Plant State attributes: PlantState » String R/W PlantStateAlarmMode » Enum R-O Attributes at the Area object only. This is 2-fold: - Allows context when setting the alarm mode for an entire area. - Allows restriction through security (more on this later) by providing different permissions for the Plant State and the Alarm Mode. The Alarms and Events Configuration dialog box

Alarm Shelving Provides a mechanism to suppress reporting alarms to Alarm Clients for a specified period of time. Shelving attributes: AlarmShelveCmd » String R/W AlarmShelved » Boolean R-O AlarmShelveNode » String R-O AlarmShelveReason » String R-O AlarmShelveStartTime » Time R-O AlarmShelveEndTime » Time R-O AlarmShelveUser » String R-O Alarm Shelving is set at the object level through the Alarm Client of an attribute. Duration and reason for shelving is mandatory. The Alarms and Events Configuration dialog box

Alarm States Logging alarms with Historian Server. View Trigger Alarm Condition Inhibited Disabled Silenced Shelved Log Logging alarms with Alarm DB Logger. View Trigger Alarm Condition Inhibited Disabled Silenced Shelved The alarm trigger represent the expression/rule for the alarm (for example, Level > 70). The alarm condition is the actual alarm being raised (InAlarm attribute set to true). Inhibiting an alarm sets the Alarm Mode to Disable. Log

Alarm Permissions New security permissions for new and existing alarm management capabilities. Operational permissions: Can Acknowledge Alarms Can Shelve Alarms Can Modify Alarm Modes Can Modify Plant States Permissions: Can Acknowledge Alarms (previously available) Can Shelve Alarms (new permission for new capability) Can Modify Alarm Modes (new permission for existing capability) Can Modify Plant States (new permission for new capability) The Security configuration dialog box

Alarm and Event Logging Alarm and Events from Application Server logged by Historian Server. Log to: Traditional SQL Server database (A2ALMDB), or History Blocks The A2ALMDB database has the same structure as the traditional WWALMDB database; it cannot be renamed. Alarm Client enhanced to read the alarm and event log from the SQL database or from history blocks. The Configurator utility

Alarm and Event Logging Alarm logging by severity. Event logging by type. Alarm DB Logger is still an option. The Alarms and Events Configuration dialog box
