8. Data Mining Server  Add a DataConnection to point to the SQL Server  Add a DataSource to point to the created table  Add PersistentTag as a parameter  Enable Writes and Updates

9. OPC Tag Name: ICONICS.DatabaseOPCServer.3\G32- 103.PersistentData. Tag1 The name of the persistent tag for which to read/write the value

21. [DWX32\Options] BrowseNetwork=0 BrowseRedundancy=1 BrowseMyComputer=1 EditAliasesAsRegs=1 OPCStartsRuntime=1 MonitorRate=1000 SaveSettings=1 ShowSwitchoverDlgs=1 ReloadMode=1 ReloadFile= OverrideGBC=0 OverrideGBCFile= DefaultOPCInputScanRate=50 DefaultExpressionScanRate=50 DefaultConditionScanRate=500 RefreshOutputs=0 RefreshOutputRate=60000 ShowOPCTagFailMsgs=0 IgnorePointSecurity=0 ScanRateLimit=0

22. Avoid oscillation of input/output when input and output point at the same OPC tag

23. Refresh output in case input tag is different from the output tag  And it is likely that input devices are switched off and on

26. UDM can only be used by ICONICS products  No scaling available  No (redundancy, switch) aliasing available  No automation interface DWX32 can be used by any OPC client  Scaling available  Aliasing available  Automation interface available  Can be configured to be “always on scan”

27. Globally available to all products  Parameterized  Read and Write Expressions

28. Logically group tags  Write action to group distributes writes to members (eliminate multiple pick actions)  Groups may be grouped as well

29. Allow users to select a set of values from a list of available sets

31. Server Security  Limit access to certain OPC or ICONICS functions  Force “Read Only” for all data irrespective of user security  Require user credentials for the channel Client IDs  Force clients to have a certain configuration License Restrictions  Specify preferred nodes for licenses

32. Overall Read Only Restricted Functions  OPC Protocols  ICONICS Protocols  ICONICS/OPC Functions Credentials  Force logon for the channel

33. Specific Nodes Specific Security Servers Specific License Servers Specific Versions

34. Specify the preferred nodes Specify the reserved licenses for the preferred nodes

35. Use within VBA in GraphWorX32 Validate currently logged-on user rights using logical security properties  rather than user or group name

36. Example Script  Validates the current custom security permissions for the token “ShowCustomForm” and shows a form based on that Sub CustomSecurityTest(o As GwxPick) If (ThisDisplay.TestCustomSecurityItem("ShowCustomForm")) Then ' Show custom form GwxCustomSecurityTest_MainForm.Show Else MsgBox "Security Access Denied", vbCritical Or vbOKOnly, "Security" End If End Sub Sub CustomSecurityTest(o As GwxPick) If (ThisDisplay.TestCustomSecurityItem("ShowCustomForm")) Then ' Show custom form GwxCustomSecurityTest_MainForm.Show Else MsgBox "Security Access Denied", vbCritical Or vbOKOnly, "Security" End If End Sub

37. Sizing Methodologies  Connection Count Methodology  Memory Usage Methodology

38. Number of connections per (WebHMI) Client Type of connections  OPC AE/DA/HDA, Security, Global Aliases, Security, Licensing, UDM Registers/Expressions, etc. Number of threads supported by GenBroker  1,500 – 2,000 total (Limited by OS) Typical Range  75 – 150 clients

39. OPC DA Requirements  100 KB / OPC Server  1 KB / OPC Tag OPC AE Requirements  Maximum buffer: 1KB * Maximum Alarm Burst  Allocate maximum buffer for each AE Client

40. To double or triple the maximum number of clients that can be connected to a single node:  Separation of OPC DA & ICONICS Servers  Separation of Administrative & Data Servers

42. TWXViewer Drag/Drop Example  Supports both DA & HDA tags  Prefix tag with hda. for HDA tags GraphWorX32 Configuration Builder  GenRegistrar interaction  Symbol Library interaction Demonstration

43. Any OPC Tag can be turned into a drag & drop source Also expose HDA tags via the hda. Prefix

44. Define a tag list and appropriate descriptions in an alias file Show the descriptions in a process point Use a colour or hide dynamic for the tags Enable drag/drop for this dynamic Add buttons to load different alias files as required

45. Custom Command Server is implemented as a COM object  Many programming languages supported: Visual Basic, C++, C#, etc. User driven using GraphWorX32 pick fields (runtime)  Supports use of multiple Custom Command Servers in a single display User driven using GraphWorX32 custom button (configuration)  Available on the property pages of dynamic and static objects Automatic for Alarm Viewer events  Available from GENESIS32 version 9 GraphWorX32 Alarm Viewer Pick Field Custom Command Server

46. Advantages Single Code Base  VBA code only shared within a single display  VBScript/Jscript code defined per object Protect IP in compiled code  VBA can be protected via password  No protection for VBScript/Jscript code Source Control  VBA/VBScript/Jscipt code cannot be easily source controlled as it is part of the display Version Management  VBA/VBScript/Jscipt code cannot be easily source controlled as it is part of the display WebHMI Support  VBA cannot be used in WebHMI Disadvantages Requires Visual Studio  VBA/VBScript/Jscript programming environment provided by GENESIS32  Requires visual studio to debug Needs distribution mechanism  VBA/VBScript/Jscript code is part of the display, custom command servers are separate entities Neutral Better planning required  As a separate component is created more of a software engineering approach is required Better understanding  As all interaction takes place via OLE automation and more can happen concurrently a better understanding of the system as a whole is needed for a successful implementation

47. Access GraphWorX32 using GenRegistrar  Also available during configuration by setting: [GWX32\Compatibility Properties] DesignTimeRegistration=1 Use symbols from the library to insert objects onto the display Configure the object’s properties using local aliases

48. Instantiate the GenRegistrar Automation Wrapper Query the running application(s) Dim GenReg As New AutoGenRegistrar Dim count As Long Dim keys, apps, nodes, dispatches GenReg.QueryDispatch2 "*", "GWX32", "*", count, keys, apps, nodes, dispatches Dim GenReg As New AutoGenRegistrar Dim count As Long Dim keys, apps, nodes, dispatches GenReg.QueryDispatch2 "*", "GWX32", "*", count, keys, apps, nodes, dispatches

49. Inserting Symbols into the Display Dim symbol As GwxSymbol Call ThisDisplay.InsertLibraryObjectByName("1_Water\Static Water Treatment", "R.B.C") Set symbol = ThisDisplay.GetHeadObject Dim symbol As GwxSymbol Call ThisDisplay.InsertLibraryObjectByName("1_Water\Static Water Treatment", "R.B.C") Set symbol = ThisDisplay.GetHeadObject

50. Call SetAliasDefinition for the aliases symbol.SetAliasDefinition "OPCServer", "ICONICS.Simulator.1“ symbol.SetAliasDefinition "TAG", "TAG1023" symbol.SetAliasDefinition "OPCServer", "ICONICS.Simulator.1“ symbol.SetAliasDefinition "TAG", "TAG1023"
