Situational Awareness Library Objects

© 2018 AVEVA Group plc and its subsidiaries. All rights reserved.4

Composite Genies

▲ Basis for the new highly configurable Situational Awareness Library Objects

▲ Targeted at Library Builders and Standards Focused Companies

▲ Composite Genie’s are a combination of a Composition Template (XML) and a set of Genies

▲ The composition engine dynamically builds Composite Genie Instances from those elements and the Options selected by the engineer at design time

▲ Composite Genie Instances are linked to their Composite Template and their genie content.

▲ Any change to either will impact instances on all pages.

▲ Pack and Update Pages

▲ Must be in Include Path to use

The Basics


Composite Genies

▲ Each Composite Genie has a unique ID (GUID). Never re-use, and never use ours!

▲ Full Schema (XSD) file available in \bin folder to reduce errors in editing

▲ Global Conditions▲ Allow construction of rules which can be shared by Parameters and Compositions

▲ Parameters▲ Support strict types (Bool, String, Integer and Enum)

▲ Setup dependency rules with other parameters

▲ Supports AND/OR logic

Building Your Own


Composite Genies

▲ Content Items

▲ Define the Genies which are used to build the permutations of the Composition Genie

▲ A core Genie (or set of genies) can be assigned the Anchor responsibility

▲ Compositions

▲ Combines your parameter values, rules with dynamic layouts

▲ Specify genies to be stacked horizontally, vertically, or overlayed.

▲ Choose which content genies will be displayed when

▲ Control Z-Order, Alignment, Margins

▲ Pass parameter values straight into genie substitutions

Build Your Own continued…


Composite Genies

▲ We know you use Citect SCADA with version control systems, and copy files between your engineers!

▲ ‘_CompositeCaches’ folder inside your projects hold all your CG instance data

▲ DO NOT DELETE THIS FOLDER

▲ All pages in your project share the same _CompositeCaches folder.

▲ General Change Process▲ Always do a Update Pages before checking in CG Templates or Genies used by CG Templates

▲ Genies now have a version identifier and this is recorded in metadata.xml in the cache folder. The pages know what version of genies they have.

▲ If you don’t do an Update Pages, then another team member who modifies a page with a Composite Genie will get unexpected updates!

Multi-User


Alarming

Out of the box features


Alarm Indicators

▲ Displays the border and unique flag for the highest priority alarm associated to that equipment

▲ And optionally its references, children and combinations thereof.

▲ Utilizes “AlarmHighestPriority ” function and Alarm Servers new “Highest Priority Order” setting

▲ Expand TODO

▲ Central Configuration of the priority colours and flag symbols (up to 255)

▲ Natively supported in genies & groups

▲ Flag is an animatable genie so it supports expressions.

▲ Flags use MetaData Interface on an object named “Shape”.

▲ Border supports rotation and you can nest them in groups/genies.

▲ Alarm Server restart required for priority changes – but you can still change categories


Cause and Response

▲ Up to 8 Cause, Response and Consequences per Alarm

▲ Configured as a separate table in Citect Studio▲ Setup > Alarming > Cause and Response

▲ Available via standard AlarmBrowseGetField calls

▲ CAUSE1-8, CONSEQUENCE1-8, RESPONSE1-8, RESPTIME1-8

▲ Total number available from RESPONSENUM

▲ Changes will require Alarm Server restart


Alarm Shelving

▲ Built on top of AlarmDisable/AlarmDisableTag

▲ You can now disable for a period of time or indefinitely and add a comment▲ AlarmDisableTag("ALARM_1", "Cluster1", nEndTime, "S helve alarm for 60 minutes.");

▲ nEndTime = DateAdd(StrToDate("20/12/2016"), StrToTim e("6:30"));

▲ AlarmDisableTag("ALARM_1", "Cluster1", nEndTime, "S helve alarms until 20 Dec 2016 6:30am");

▲ Affects all users

▲ When the highest priority alarm is a shelved alarm, the Alarm Indicator will use the new “Shelved/Disabled Alarm Mode” configuration. See Citect Studio: Setup > Alarming > Alarm Modes

▲ Combine with “{UserLocation,n}” field for indicating which node performed an action on an alarm


Workspace

The way forward


Workspace

▲ New Master Pages describe the layout of your user interface

▲ Multi-Resolution

▲ Consist of Panes which can display Citect pages

▲ Panes describe:

▲ The Content Type of pages they display (e.g. Level1, Faceplate)

▲ The way the page is displayed in the pane (e.g. Stretched, Maintain Size, Maintain Aspect Ratio)

▲ How they react to context changes by the operator. Driven by the new Contextual Content Autofill.

▲ When you build pages for your system those pages will be designed to suit a particular pane

▲ Popups are supported – and they even support Autofill!

▲ Rich Equipment Context Integration

▲ Multi-Monitor Ready

The Basics


Header Bar

Page Content Area

Top Alarms

Navigation Zone

Faceplate Zone

Information Zone

Workspace

▲ It is available via the SA_Include project

▲ The more you integrate with it the more benefit you get:▲ Level 1: Utilize Master Page with a Traditional Tag System

▲ Faster Runtime Page Display

▲ Faster Graphics Builder Open/Save (no template to load/save)

▲ Display existing pages as is – including popups

▲ Get Access to better Multi-Monitor support with Screen Profiles

▲ Level 2: Utilize Master Page with an Equipment Model▲ Bring context to your operators. Automatically bring Alarm, Trend, and Content

▲ Alarm Indicator Support

▲ Utilize equipment navigation features to go from alarm to the equipment’s homepage

▲ Equipment Ready Alarm and Trend Pages

What it can do for your projects


Workspace

▲ Level 3: Level 2 + SA Library Objects + Faceplate and Interlocks▲ Reduce pop-ups, Consistent, SA compatible Operator Experience

▲ At any level utilize Cause and Response and Shelving Features

What it can do for your projects


Animation and CiCode

Refine your customisations


Pinned Windows

▲ Pinned windows are child windows inside a runtime window that display a page

▲ Automatically sized and positioned with parent window

▲ They are not meant to be overlapped

▲ Create them using WinNewPinAt

▲ Pages can be changed at anytime

▲ Control how the page is displayed

▲ (Maintain Aspect, Size and Stretch)

▲ Scroll support

▲ Most Win functions can be used with pinned windows (e.g. Move, Free)

▲ Citect cursor will autofocus over the pinned windows giving the impression of a seamless page▲ Works nicely with ActiveX edit fields as well (e.g. citextbox)

▲ Supported in new Multi-Monitor and Web Client


COMMAND ZONE LOGIN ZONE

PAGE ZONE

CONTROL ZONE INFORMATION ZONE NAVIGATION ZONE ALARM ZONE

Named Animations

▲ Every graphic object can be given a name

▲ Simplifies library design and maintenance

▲ Search for objects by name in Graphics Builder

▲ Reference an object by name explicitly or relatively at runtime▲ DspGetAnFromName(".\Object1")

Display Animatable Genies at Runtime

▲ DspSym can now display Genies at runtime

▲ Previously you could only display bitmap symbols (with no expressions)

▲ Genies can contain most Citect objects (ActiveX not permitted)

▲ %genie parameters% are not permitted

▲ Any expressions will begin executing

▲ Reduces the need to define ‘n’ instanced genies up front and hide the ones you don’t want

▲ You must mark which genies will be dynamically displayed

▲ The compiler will pre-compile the expressions


Arrays

▲ Cicode supports a high performant 1-3 dimensional array

▲ Can be passed as arguments through cicode functions

▲ Can be attached to an AN

▲ Arrays not cleaned up are reported in syslog on shutdown

▲ DspArrayByAn function to render the array directly to screen – Fast▲ Supports rendering of Text, Genies and Alarm Priority Genies (with built-in “…”

support for strings


Maps

▲ Maps represents 0 or more Key/Value Pairs of any Citect type▲ As opposed to Que’s.

▲ You can iterate over all key/values and get count

▲ Fast random access lookup

▲ Can be passed as arguments through cicode functions

▲ Can be associated with an Array

▲ Optional callback mechanism when map is deleted

▲ Maps not cleaned up are reported in syslog on shutdown


STRING pMapName = MapOpen();! pMapName is a randomly generated text that uniquel y identifies the mapINT iMapValueSetResult = MapValueSet (pMapName, “SomeKey”, “SomeValue”);STRING sMapValueGetResult = MapValueGet (pMapName, “SomeKey”);! sMapValueGetResult will be set to “SomeValue”INT iMapCloseResult = MapClose (pMapName);

New List Genie

▲ Available in SA_Controls project

▲ Display Arrays of data automatically

▲ Array must be set up in a very specific way

▲ Array defines elements of presentation such as fonts and sizes

▲ Multi-Column Support

▲ Supports horizontal and vertical scrolling

▲ Very Fast, low CPU rendering – utilizes new Array functionality

▲ Works in conjunction with row genie for alternate row colouring


New Tree Genie

▲ Available only in SA_Include enabled projects

▲ Binds to a standard Citect Menu as a data source (dynamic or static)

▲ Supports (Out of the Box)

▲ Horizontal and Vertical Scrolling

▲ Check boxes

▲ Auto-check of Children

▲ Node Search (Partial Matching and dot-path-partial matching)

▲ Alarm/Shelve Priority, Stte and Count information when used with Equipment Model

▲ Fast, low CPU rendering – utilizes Array and DspSym dynamic genie functionality

▲ Customisation

▲ Engineers can supply their own tree node genies!

▲ Augment the data source with other data


TagGetValue

▲ Provides automatic subscription and value retrieval for indirect tags /Equipment.Item that are referenced indirectly▲ E.g. TagGetValue(“Site1.” + sTank + “.PMP01”);

▲ Non-Blocking – perfect for foreground expressions and code

▲ It is more expensive then a direct tag ref or a partial association. Do not abuse them.

▲ Quality Errors will return a value of 0.▲ TagGetValue the quality if that is important.


Debugging

▲ Hardware Alarm Debugging

▲ [Code] EnableErrorLogging = 1

▲ Cicode Profile Performance Statistics▲ Sort on Called, Incl and Excl

▲ Function ownership identification
