The Integration Assistant detects equipment instances in a Plant SCADA project and converts them into object instances in Application Server. The Instances tab provides a detailed description of what occurs during this process. It includes the following columns.
|
Product |
Column |
Description |
|
Severity |
Indicates if the description provided for a component is "Information" or a "Warning". If the Severity is "Warning", it indicates that an unexpected change was made to the component during the import process. For example, a Warning could indicate that a Plant SCADA item name required changes when creating an attribute as unsupported characters were detected. |
|
|
Plant SCADA |
Equipment Type |
The equipment type associated with the equipment instance in Plant SCADA. The equipment type name is likely to be repeated across multiple rows to accommodate multiple instances and their attributes. |
|
Equipment Name |
The name used for an equipment instance in Plant SCADA. The equipment name is likely to be repeated across multiple rows to accommodate the attributes that were associated with it. |
|
|
Item |
An item associated with the equipment instance. |
|
|
Element Type |
An element associated with an item. Elements can be one of the following types:
|
|
|
Action |
A description of the action that was performed by the Integration Assistant to recreate the required content in Application Server. This can include:
|
|
|
Application Server |
Template |
The Application Server template that was used to create the equipment instance. The template name will be repeated across multiple rows to accommodate the number of attributes associated with it. |
|
Instance |
The instance created in Application Server. The instance will be repeated across multiple rows to accommodate the number of attributes associated with it. |
|
|
Attribute |
An attribute added to an instance based on those defined in the associated template. |
|
|
Feature |
A feature that has been added to an attribute based on those defined in the associated template. |
|
|
Extended Attribute Name |
A meaningful name that describes an extended attribute that has been added to an instance. |
|
|
Extended Attribute |
The configured name for an extended attribute that has been added to an instance. |
|
|
Value |
The default value applied to an extended attribute. |
Example
A Plant SCADA project includes instances of the ShutoffValve equipment type. This includes a discharge valve on a strawberry milk tank.
During the import process into Application Server, this equipment instance is detected and represented in the Plant SCADA section of the Integration Report in the following way.
From this, you can determine the following:
-
The first row indicates an instance was created to represent the discharge valve.
-
The remaining rows indicate several attributes have been set for the instance that was created, including those associated with the items drawn from the ShutoffValve equipment type.
More details are provided in the Application Server section of the report.
From this, you can determine the following:
-
The first row indicates the DischargeValve object instance was created from the $ShutoffValve template.
-
The second row indicates an Extended Attribute was set for the object instance to provide a short description of the discharge valve.
-
The third row indicates a DisplayName attribute was set to Discharge Valve for the object instance.
-
The remaining rows indicate that the OpenClosed and Control attributes had values applied to their associated features.
Observe that the OpenClosed and Control attributes both have an I/O feature with an Extended Attribute named Read from/Write to. The value applied to this Extended Attribute represents the InputSource used to connect the I/O feature to the Plant SCADA runtime system.
In Application Server, the Discharge Valve will be accessible from the object model. When opened, the DisplayName, Control and OpenClosed attributes will be accessible.
When you display an attribute, the values included in the Integration Report for each feature will be configured as specified.
