1 OVERVIEW

MELSOFT

1 OVERVIEW

1.1 Overview

In addition to the basic monitoring function of the monitor tool, outstanding and easyto-use InTouch development/monitoring environment can also be available by using the interaction function of the PX Developer monitor tool and InTouch (SCADA software manufactured by Invensys Systems, Inc.).

This function supports the following four interaction functions.

(1) Incorporating faceplate control

(2) Communication function using process control tag names

(3) Reference function for PX Developer tag names

(4) Alarm integration function

1.2 Features

This section explains the main features of the four interaction functions.

(1) Faceplate control reduces development time of monitor screens

By simply pasting the faceplate control of PX Developer (ActiveX control) on the monitor screen of InTouch, faceplates can be easily used on InTouch.

This function reduces development time of monitor screens and tuning screens for process control tag data on InTouch.

(2) Without considering assigned devices, communications can be performed using process control tag names in InTouch

When registering tag variables in InTouch, PX Developer process control tag names can be used as item names, and process control tag data in the monitor tool can be read from/written to InTouch.

This eliminates the need for managing assigned devices and communicating through a communication driver such as an I/O server to read/write process control tag data.

Furthermore, high-speed response by the event notification receive function and the high-speed current value collection function of the monitor tool can be utilized on InTouch.

Communication driver such as I/O server

Without considering assigned devices for the process control tags, communications can be performed by registering tag variables on

InTouch, using process control tag names defined in PX Developer.

*1: When reading/writing device data except the process control tag with InTouch, a communication driver such as I/O server is required.

(3) Process control tag names can be selected easily from InTouch

When using the communication function with the aforementioned process control tag name, PX Developer process control tag names can be easily browsed/selected

3.4 Operation to Display PX Developer Alarm Information on InTouch Alarm Viewer control

PURPOSE

Display alarm/event information of the monitor tool on the InTouch Alarm Viewer control and to monitor/check them in the same list with alarm/event information of

InTouch.

OVERVIEW OF ALARM

[Summary alarm and historical alarm of InTouch]

<Summary alarm>

Summary alarm is an alarm list on which records of current alarms and unchecked alarms are displayed. On the summary alarm, alarms can be checked by appending comments.

<Historical alarm>

Historical alarm is an alarm list on which records of occurred/recovered/checked alarms and occurred events are displayed. On the historical alarm, the alarm check operation is unavailable.


Procedure 1) Paste the Alarm Viewer control.

( Section 3.4.1)

Procedure 2) Set the Alarm Query of the Alarm Viewer control.

( Section 3.4.2)


Alarms of PX Developer can be monitored/checked on the InTouch Alarm Viewer control by executing InTouch WindowViewer after starting the monitor tool.

When the Alarm Viewer control type is summary alarm, only the alarm information can be monitored. When the Alarm Viewer control type is historical alarm, alarm information and event information can be monitored.

3-14 3-14

3 BASIC OPERATION

MELSOFT

POINT

• Alarms and events can be stored to the historical alarm buffer of InTouch, secured for PX Developer, up to 6,000 and 2,000, respectively. When capacity of the historical alarm buffer is full, stored alarm/event information is deleted from the oldest to store the latest information.

• Alarm Viewer control of InTouch displays only alarm/event information of PX

Developer occurred while the monitor tool is in operation. Therefore, histories of alarms/events occurred before starting the monitor tool is not reflected to alarms on InTouch.

• After exiting the monitor tool, the alarm/event information on PX Developer displayed on the Alarm Viewer control of InTouch are all deleted from the summary alarm and historical alarm. To display the alarm information on InTouch even after exiting the monitor tool, logging alarms with AlarmPrinter

*1

or accumulating the database with Alarm DB Logger Manager

*1

beforehand is necessary.

• In the server/client monitoring system configuration, the alarm integration function is not available.

*1: For details, refer to the manual of InTouch.

The following shows interlock operation of alarms and events.

For operation methods of InTouch, refer to the manual of InTouch.

(1) Operating alarm monitor screen

The following are an Alarm List screen of the monitor tool and a summary alarm screen of InTouch.

<Example of Alarm List screen of PX Developer monitor tool>

<Example of summary alarm screen of InTouch WindowViewer>

InTouch receives alarm notification/alarm check notification from the monitor tool and displays them.

However, system alarms of InTouch itself (SCADA interaction function error) are not notified to InTouch.

[Operation from the monitor tool that interlocks with the alarms of

InTouch]

• Executing "Delete Recovered Alarms" deletes the corresponding alarms of

InTouch.

• Executing "Confirm All" checks all corresponding alarms of InTouch.

• Checking "Confirm" check box checks corresponding alarm of InTouch.

• Clearing "Confirm" check box of ongoing alarm regenerates corresponding alarm of InTouch.

• When alarms exceed 2,000 on the Alarm List screen of the monitor tool, old alarms are deleted. If corresponding alarm of InTouch exists in the summary alarm, the alarm is also deleted.

[Operation from InTouch that interlocks with the monitor tool]

• Checking alarms on InTouch checks "Confirm" check box for corresponding alarm on the Alarm List screen of the monitor tool.

POINT

• For correspondence table for alarm items notified by the monitor tool to InTouch, refer to Appendix 3.1.

• When checking the alarm in the monitor tool with InTouch, the user who operates the monitor tool is required with the authority of operation for checking the alarm/event.

(2) Operating event monitor screen

The following are an Event List screen of the monitor tool and a historical alarm screen of InTouch.

On InTouch, alarms and events are displayed on the historical alarm screen.

4 TROUBLESHOOTING

(1) Troubleshooting related to the communication function regarding process control tag names

This section explains troubleshooting for failures possibly occur in relation to the communication function regarding process control tag names.

While WindowViewer is in operation, the monitor data remains 0.

Although the process control tag data in PX Developer are changed while WindowViewer is in operation, the monitor data do not change.

The following are the possible factors.

• "Expression" may not be set correctly in InTouch.

• The monitor tool may not be started.

• The user who is operating the monitor tool does not have the authority of operation for changing the tag data items.

Check the following and make correct setting.

• Check if a format of "Expression" is "Access name:Process control tag name.Tag item".

• Check if the access name is set correctly.

• Check if the process control tag name exists in the target project of the monitor tool.

• Check if the monitor tool is in operation.

• If the tag variable is changed in WindowMaker while WindowViewer is in operation, restart WindowViewer.

• Change to a user who has the authority of operation for changing the process control tag data items in the monitor tool.

For cases other than above, refer to "Error list" in "ActiveX control",

"Setting Tagname property", and "Calling or Setting Tagname property" of "PX Developer Operating Manual (Monitor Tool)".
