Configuration Tasks
-
Add Equipment Using Equipment Editor: Create the equipment for the required objects. Organize the equipment in a hierarchy. Objects can be referred to by their name when you add Composite Genies to a graphics page. You can add one or more instances of an equipment to a page.
-
Equipment References: Create the required relationships (equipment references) between a piece of equipment to items of another piece of equipment. This allows you to refer to equipment.items outside of the equipment hierarchy.
-
Configure PLC Limits with Equipment: This is an optional task that is required if you want to use PLC alarm limits instead of the standard analog alarm limits.
-
Insert a Composite Genie: Create graphics pages with instances of Composite Genies that are associated with the equipment you have defined in your project.
-
Create a New Faceplate: Add a faceplate for the equipment to allow operators to engage with the equipment at runtime.
-
Write Cicode functions to initialize PR and OR values. Refer to the Cicode Reference documentation for more information.
Presentation Options
The following presentation options are available for this object.
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Equipment Name |
Enter a name for the equipment associated with the meter. You can enter a maximum of 160 characters for this option. Note: The Multiple Meter equipment needs to be manually configured to reference the name of each meter to be included. |
|
Meter Count |
Number of meters - select from Duplicated for two meters or Triplicated for three meters. |
|
Equipment #1/#2/#3 Name |
Enter the name of the equipment object for the first/second/third meter (displayed only if meter count is triplicated). You can enter a maximum of 160 characters for this option. |
|
Equipment #1/#2/#3 Prefix |
Prefix applied to the equipment item name for the meters. This allows for displaying multiple values for a single piece of equipment. For example, you want to create three meters to monitor power, voltage and current for a single pump. You would create three meters on the pump and assign the equipment item prefix "Power", "Voltage" and "Current". So, the PV values for the meters would be PowerPV, VoltagePV and CurrentPV respectively. Note: To get a meter with a prefix to work correctly, you need to create tags with the required item names. From the example above, you will need to create the tags PowerPV, PowerOP, VoltagePV, VoltageOP, CurrentPV, CurrentOP and so on. The following equipment item names (where applicable) can be prefixed:
|
|
