Wonderware Finland InBalance Module

InTouch Demo application

For InBalance data visualization the InTouch demo application “IBDemoApp_001” is used:

The application contains four ArchestrA Symbols (Configuration, IBEditor,

RecDataAllTimePeriod and TotalMassAllTimePeriod1), that are displayed in the main window “InBalance Demo”.

Parent Symbols are located in Graphic Toolbar under “InBalance” Graphic Toolset:

The Symbol (Configuration, TotalMassAllTimePeriod1) instances (IBConfiguration,

IBTotalMassAllTimePeriod2) are located in $IBArea:

Derived from template ($IBArea) instance (IBArea_001) object contains two Inherited

Graphics - (IBConfiguration and IBTotalMassAllTimePeriod2):

ArchestrA symbols

IBEditor

IBEditor symbol contains the Model Editor .NET control, used by InTouch application to display and edit the model (see chapter Model Editor for information about model editing):

Start time

Calculation interval start time.

End time

Calculation interval end time.

Solvable

Model solvability flag (true/false). Model is not solvable if non-measured values cannot be calculated.

Iterations

Calculation iterations counter.

Progress

Calculation progress (0

– 100 %).

Status

Shows whether object is ready for new calculation: if Me.Calc.Trigger = true then text “Not

Ready” is displayed – means object is still performing the calculation); if Me.Calc.Trigger

= false then text “Ready” is displayed and object is ready for new calculation.

Deploy ready

I f text “Ready” is displayed, then object is deployed and ready for calculation; if text “Not ready” is displayed then object is not deployed or is not fully initialized after deploy.

Calculate

Click on “Calculate” button to start the calculation (the trigger Me.Calc.Trigger is set to

True).

Reconciled data

Click on

“Reconciled data” button to display the ArchestrA symbol that shows Reconciled data (see section “RecDataAllTimePeriod” for symbol description).

TotalMassAllTimePeriod1

TotalMassAllTimePeriod1 symbol shows measured and reconciled volume (m

) and mass

(kg) for selected calculation period:

RecDataAllTimePeriod

RecDataAllTimePeriod symbol shows measured and reconciled volume (m

/day) and mass (kg/day) and displays gross errors, if there are any detected in the model:

Frequently asked questions

InBalance is a module that provides a solution for mass balance calculation, including data validation/reconciliation. It is integrated into Wonderware System Platform, allowing easy integration into existing and new projects.

InBalance consists of two main submodules: Model Editor and Calculator. The Model Editor is used to create a system model consisting of nodes and streams. The Calculator performs data validation/reconciliation and mass balance calculation.

InBalance offers several advantages over traditional dedicated systems, including reliable and proven solution, easy implementation, wide application scope, easy integration, low investment cost, and easy maintenance and upgrades.
