FAIM Engine Configuration Parameters

The operations of each FAIMEngine (as associated historian instance) are controlled by its configuration options . The FAIMEngine may have any name supported by DYNSIM.

To edit these options:

1. Open the Simulation Configuration dialog box.

   

2. Select the FAIMEngine instance and click the Edit button. The Engine Configuration dialog box appears.

   

3. In Engine Configuration dialog box, set the following options:

   Option	Description	Default value
   Historian logical name	The historian instance logical name associated with the FAIM Engine instance. This is REQUIRED.	<not specified>
   Maximum hours of available history	The maximum amount of historical RTP data available in the simulation	8
   Maximum number of stored alarms	The maximum number of historical alarms available in the simulation	5000
   Default RTP data file size (in MB)	The initial size of an RTP database file (at creation time)	10
   Historian collectors to ignore	A list of collector names (separated by commas) who’s RTPs should not be collected.	Blank: It means data collection for all the RTPs in the instance is attempted
   Directory path for historian data files	The directory where FAIM should store the ‘current’ historian database files.	Blank: It means FAIM stores the data in the simulation specific directory
   Directory path for initial condition (IC) files	The directory where FAIM should store the database files for an IC	Blank: It means FAIM stores the IC data in the simulation specific directory
   Directory path for backtrack files	The directory where FAIM should store backtrack files	Blank: It means FAIM stores data in the simulation directory

4. When specifying non-default locations for historian database files and IC files, ensure that the locations are unique for each simulation, to prevent different simulations from attempting to utilize the same database files.
