  1. Migrating from HMI’s to Wonderware ArchestrA Jos Peters

  2. Let’s paint the picture • Want to move to Industrial Application Server (IAS) ……. But are heavily invested with InTouch applications …. Or Intellution or GE or Rockwell or Siemens or ….. ???? • How Much Re-work or Re-engineering is it going to take??

  3. Typical Scenario • InTouch : • Tag Based. • Alarms Configured. • History configured : .LGH Files ?? • Scripting (Supervisory Control and Navigation) • Graphics • Industrial Application Server • Object Based. • Alarms Configured On Object Template. • History configured : InSQL • Scripting (Supervisory Control) • Graphics (Smart Symbols) Bulk Import Utility

  4. BulkImportUtility Smart Symbols Popups / IOSetRemoteReferences() Agenda Considerations Summary Questions

  5. What Does it Do?? • ArchestrA Bulk Import Utility • reads InTouch tag database • or other CSV output from existing apps • or XML output from existing apps • easily creates Object templates and instances for import into IAS

  6. Create Hierarchical Namespace from Flat Tag names Run Import Tag Wizard Filter resulting Mapped tags to create objects Connect & Download Templates from Galaxy Create New Project Validate and Upload New Objects and Instances to Galaxy

  7. Bulk Import Utility Demo

  8. Mappings from Import Tag Wizard • In Release 1.0 of the BIU a mapping for InTouch will be provided. • BIU can import other CSV files from all the major HMI and PLC vendors. • BIU can also read most well formed XML which is used in many Enterprise applications!

  9. What about Graphics & Scripting • Take Existing Graphics and create Smart Symbols. • Recommend that the InTouch Application is redone • You can copy and Supervisory Control paste scripts into IAS in Templates and tweak. • Distinguish between Server and client scripts • Re-use Navigation Scripts (Don’t need to use Indirect Tags) • Rather use IOSetRemoteReferences() Script Function

  10. Bulk Import Utility Smart Symbols Popups / IOSetRemoteReferences() Agenda Considerations Summary Questions

  11. Creating Valve Smart symbol • Valve Graphic of Old InTouch • Edit animation links to look at Template or “me” created in BIU

  12. Smart Symbols • Make the Graphic symbol a Cell • Generate a Smart Symbol

  13. Smart Symbols • The Smart Symbol gets placed in the Smart Symbol Library and is linked to the Template in IAS.

  14. Smart Symbols • Too create an instance of the Smart Symbol select it from the Smart Symbol Wizard Icon

  15. Smart Symbols • When you place it on the Window you will be asked to link it to an instance • Browse for an instance in IAS

  16. Bulk Import Utility Smart Symbols Popups / IOSetRemoteReferences() Agenda Considerations Summary Questions

  17. Creating a Control Popup • Edit the Smart Symbol with an Action Script like the figure • “ValveName” is a Memory Message Tag in InTouch.

  18. Creating a Control Popup • An Example of a small control Popup window with animation links displaying templates.

  19. Creating a Control Popup • Create an OnShow Window Script like the Following using IOSetRemoteReferences() Script Function

  21. Additional Considerations • Alarm Query Changes from \\Node\InTouch!AlarmGroup to \\Node\Galaxy!Area • Alarms configured in InTouch will be handled by the BIU. • History changes from .LGH to InSQL (BIU automatically ticks attributes to be historized) • Scripting needs to be considered on a case per case basis. • Go through al scripts and determine which are server based and which are client based. • Populating List / Combo Boxes in InTouch • Using Additional ActiveX controls or other third party Objects.

  23. Summary • The Migration needs to be thought through. • Go through the Migration guide. – Come see the WSP Best Practices Presentation - F1 • You can use the Bulk import Utility to generate templates and object instances that will include alarms and history. • Generate smart symbols for your graphics and create a new InTouch Application. “DO NOT TRY TO CONVERT THE ORIGINAL” • Use IOSetRemoteReferenses() Script Function for Control Popups. • Work through all the scripts and determine whether they are Server (Migrate to IAS) or Client (Leave in InTouch) type scripts.
