Section 2 Wonderware System Platform Review

This section describes the Wonderware System Platform and reviews the fundamental conceptsand uses of the Wonderware System Platform.

Introduction

The Wonderware System Platform is a strategic industrial application platform built on ArchestrAtechnology which uses Wonderware Application Server as its foundation. Designed to suit theneeds of industrial automation and information personnel, the Wonderware System Platformprovides a single platform for Geographically Distributed SCADA (Geo-SCADA), Supervisory HMI,and Production and Performance Management. The System platform is a unified bundle ofpreviously available Wonderware software products, including: Wonderware Application Server,

Wonderware Historian, Wonderware Information Server and Device Integration products.When used together, InTouch and the System Platform provide an industrial software solution setwhich is significantly greater than the sum of their parts:

The application server infrastructure provides InTouch developers with all of thecapabilities and benefits of true object-oriented application development in addition tothe traditional tag-based development capabilities of classic InTouch versions.

The shared IDE (Industrial Development Environment) between InTouch andApplication server provide a single consistent environment for developing applicationsand graphics.

The shared IDE in combination with ArchestrA graphics capabilities provide a radicallynew look for the powerful, yet previously inconspicuous features of application server,allowing them to be brought to the forefront of the solution set.

The ability to embed ArchestrA graphics objects into Application Server objectsprovides, for the first time, the ability to encapsulate visualization and functionality intothe application server environment providing enormous time savings and benefits forall user audiences within the customer base, and providing exciting new opportunitiesto demonstrate previously somewhat academic capabilities of Application Server

The ArchestrA technology that the System Platform is built on is a comprehensive plantautomation and information architecture designed from the outset to extend the life of legacysystems by leveraging the latest software technologies. Offerings built upon this architectureempower decision-makers to achieve their business goals, without abandoning prior investmentsin automation systems, production processes or intellectual property.

In the ArchestrA environment, software applications can be rapidly assembled rather than

programmed. New applications also can be created simply through the reassembly of existingapplications.

Section 3 ArchestrA Visualization

This section introduces ArchestrA Graphics and creation of a managed InTouch application.

Introduction

InTouch provides the tools to develop interactive and animated graphical displays - "InTouchapplications". The behavior of those displays, including the animation and visual representations,can be associated with properties of industrial processes and equipment through real-time dataprovided by the Wonderware System Platform. InTouch provides multiple user interfacecapabilities including keyboard, mouse, tablet and touch screen inputs as well as multi-screenoutputs. InTouch offers a host of capabilities that provide value for Engineering, Operations and ITdepartments.

ArchestrA Graphics : ArchestrA Graphics are developed through the ArchestrA IDE and allow

you to customize graphical representations of your processes in virtually any permutation desired.ArchestrA Graphics are embedded within Application Server objects, so everything about a givenobject is defined within it - alarms, history, logic, graphics, and so on, allowing greater flexibility.This allows:

Object re-use: Objects can be derived from templates and pre-configured to workwithin the environment they are embedded to reference the desired object attributes

Centralized development of equipment including graphical representation

What is InTouch for System Platform?

InTouch for System Platform is configured and licensed to be used as a visualization client inconjunction with the Wonderware System Platform, displaying data from objects defined in aWonderware Application Server galaxy.

What is a managed InTouch Application?

A managed InTouch Application is one that is created from within the ArchestrA IDE, and deployedas an object in the Wonderware Application Server application. Creating a managed Applicationallows use of ArchestrA Symbols. A managed InTouch Application exhibits the same kind ofbehavior as other objects in the IDE, such as the ability to check out and check in, but opens in anexternal development environment called WindowMaker, described next, and in detail inModule 2, Development Environment,page 2-3.

Other Software Requirements

The following list describes other third-party software requirements to support InTouch 10.0 forSystem Platform in conjunction with Wonderware Application Server 3.0.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005

SQL Server 2005 with SP2 (Standard or Enterprise) is the only database supportedby Application Server version 3.0. The Compact, Express, and Workgroup editions ofSQL Server 2005 are not supported for the Galaxy Repository.

The SQL Server 2005 SP2 database must be installed on the same computer as theArchestrA Galaxy Repository.

TCP/IP must be enabled on the computer running SQL Server. The TCP/IP protocolsetting can be verified from the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration under SQLServer Configuration Manager.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (toolkits only)

.NET Framework Common Language Runtime (CLR) 2.0.50727

Note: The Microsoft SQL Server login for BUILTIN\Administrators group must be present andenabled.

Note: Application Server 3.0 requires installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005. You cannot useMicrosoft SQL Server 2000 with this version. You also cannot install and use Application Server ona computer that has both Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 installed.

Vista Restrictions

Application Server version 3.0 can run under Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows VistaBusiness, or Windows Vista Ultimate. The Windows Vista Home Basic and HomePremium editions are not supported.

Users must log on as a Windows Vista administrator to run Application Server version 3.0.You cannot run Application Server as a Windows Vista standard user or power user.

You can run Wonderware 32-bit software only with a 32-bit version of Windows Vista.Running Wonderware 32-bit software with a 64-bit version of Windows Vista on 64-bithardware is not supported

The Windows Vista User Account Control (UAC) must be disabled when runningApplication Server. Refer to Microsoft Windows Vista documentation for instructions todisable UAC.

When you disable Windows Vista UAC, you must restart the computer before attemptingto install the ArchestrA IDE or Wonderware Application Server. A Galaxy connection erroroccurs if you attempt to install the ArchestrA IDE or Wonderware Application Server andyou did not restart the computer after you disabled the UAC.

Windows Vista does not support a traditional Application Server 3.0 single-nodeconfiguration that includes Wonderware Historian (formerly IndustrialSQL Server).

A Vista Platform cannot be configured to be an alarm provider and also have InTouchWindowViewer on the same computer configured to generate alarms. Only one of the twowill function properly as an alarm provider.

Windows Vista does not support NetDDE. ArchestrA graphics make use of the client layerwhen accessing InTouch tags, and appear as a third-party client trying to accessWindowViewer as a data server. As a result, ArchestrA symbols cannot communicate withInTouch tags. Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Pro still support NetDDE.

Application Server 3.0 cannot be configured to run as a service under Windows Vista.Windows Vista security prevents started Windows services from interacting with desktop

WonderwareTraining

objects. When Application Server 3.0 is installed on a computer running Vista, scripts donot run correctly if they include the InTouch ActivateApp() and SendKeys() functions.These functions interact with desktop objects by starting Windows programs and sendingkeystrokes to these programs.

The Galaxy Repository is only supported on Vista for single-node systems. For multiple-node Galaxies, Windows Server 2003 is the preferred operating system for the Galaxy

Repository node.Using Multiple Network Interface Cards with Vista

If you are using multiple network interface cards (NICs), you must configure certain settings for thefirewall or else a remote Vista node cannot connect to a Galaxy Repository node.

A connection in Vista is a term used to define a network interface card (NIC), its settings and thesettings of whatever the NIC is connected to. Under certain circumstances, the connection on yourcomputer can change if, for example, the IP address on the computer to which you are connectedchanges. Your computer's connection can be affected by external factors. During boot, and eachtime a connection changes, Vista goes through an "Identifying" process to determine which profileshould be assigned to the connection.

A profile is a collection of firewall settings that can be applied to a connection. There are three

profiles currently defined in Vista: Domain, Public and Private. The Domainprofile is assigned automatically to a connection if a domain controller for the

domain to which the computer is a member is found on the connection.

The Publicprofile is designed to keep the computer from being visible to other computerson the network. Network discovery is turned off for the Public profile.

The Privateprofile is used for a more trusted environment. Network discovery is turned onfor a Private profile. Firewall exceptions and rules can be created on any or all of theseprofiles.

This is important because the OS Configuration utility and the Vista Firewall utility apply theirfirewall exceptions to the Domain and Private profiles only.

As previously noted, you can specify which profile you want assigned to a connection as long as

that connection is not a Domain connection. This is done through the "Network and SharingCenter". Click on the Network icon in the right-hand side of the task bar and then click on one ofthe networks that is displayed. You can change a connection from a Public profile to a Privateprofile. The firewall calls these settings "Profiles" but the network calls them "Location types".

On computers using dual NICs, the first NIC is normally connected to the domain and is assignedthe Domain profile automatically. The second NIC is typically assigned the Public profile.

The first issue is that your entire computer (all connections) is restricted to the most restrictive ofthe profiles assigned to any connection. So if the second connection was assigned a profile ofPublic, none of the firewall exceptions set by the OS Configuration or Vista Firewall utilities will beallowed. The exceptions were set for Domain and Private only, not Public. You must set thesecond connection to the Private profile for any of the firewall exceptions to work.

The second issue is that it appears that a re-boot of your computer, or even a re-boot of acomputer to which you are connected, can change your connection back to the Public profile.Once again the firewall exceptions will not be effective. You'll have to change the connection backto the Private profile after each re-boot or a re-boot of the connected computer.

To avoid these NIC issues and prevent the Identifying process from taking place on a connectionand changing the assigned profile, certain items must be present in the definition of theconnection. Follow the rules below:

1. If you have only one NIC, no action is required. The profiles and firewall rules are automatic.


43/329



2. If you have two NICs follow the actions below:

If the second NIC is not physically connected to anything (that means no wire in it), noaction is required. The profiles and firewall rules are automatic.

If the second NIC is connected, it MUST be configured. Follow the rules forconfiguring a normal redundancy setup, Vista will identify this NIC and assign it aPrivate profile. If the NIC is not configured, Vista will assign a profile of Public to this

NIC and cause all of our firewall exceptions to be deactivated on all NICs. For the NICto be configured properly, give it an IP address, sub net mask and gateway address.The gateway address can be the same as the IP address. Usually these addresseswill be the internal, non-routable addresses like 192.168.0.x or the 10.x.x.x range.

If you have more than two NICs, make sure all connected NICs are configured with anIP address and default gateway address and have been assigned a profile of Private.

Appl ication Server Licensing

Access to the Galaxy Repository is controlled by a license. If a license-related message isdisplayed when you are attempting to open the IDE, you have a problem with your license. Thismessage may indicate one of the following conditions:

No license has been installed.

Your license has expired.

You may have exceeded the licensed I/O count or number of WinPlatforms.

Use the License Utility to correct these problems. Until the problem is resolved, you cannot:

Open the ArchestrA IDE.
