Wonderware System Platform 2017 Update 2 Released

Wonderware System Platform 2017 Update 2 includes enhancements to the software development kit (SDK), and additional features and enhancements for the component products of Wonderware System Platform.

Wonderware System Platform 2017 introduced InTouch OMI, the first Operations Management Interface to leverage both Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and deliver a next generation visualization experience. Key features added for Update 1 included a Software Development Kit (SDK) to allow programmatic additions to InTouch OMI. New features, including the ShowContent API, have been added to the SDK for Update 2. Help for the SDK can be accessed from the Start Menu, under Wonderware Documentation.

InTouch OMI extends traditional HMI and SCADA applications to deliver a convergence platform for both Operational Technology (OT) as well as Information Technology (IT).

One key aspect of InTouch OMI is its ability to automatically assemble applications based on a data model, resulting in minimal engineering and manageability that has not previously been available.

InTouch OMI enables the first industrial application that will deliver a tailored and contemporary experience to any environment or device, including control rooms, industrial panels, desktops, laptops, tablets and phones.

New Features in InTouch OMI Update 2

Runtime Preview

InTouch OMI now provides a preview session, which enables you to quickly assess changes in a running ViewApp without deploying the Galaxy. A preview launches immediately and runs in a separate window to show the current content being edited. A preview is similar to the fast switch feature in InTouch WindowMaker. A preview session can be kept open while editing a ViewApp. When you save changes made to a ViewApp, the preview refreshes to show the updated content.

User-Friendly Names for Assets and Navigation

A running ViewApp typically shows objects as navigation items that appear by their assigned Galaxy names in the navigation model. Galaxy names may not be intuitive or easily understood by operators. Objects can be assigned more understandable friendly names.

Friendly names are assigned as values of object attributes from the Model view of the ArchestrA IDE. The friendly name, also referred to as an alias, appears in the navigation model of a ViewApp in the ViewApp or Layout editors.

Rearrange Navigation Items

You can drag and drop navigation items to different locations within a navigation hierarchy. This lets you to create a more accurate model of your plant or other physical environment by rearranging the order and relationship of subordinate and sibling navigation nodes, and/or provide more natural navigation for your InTouch OMI ViewApps.

ViewApp Namespaces

ViewApp Namespaces allow you to add custom attributes that can be shared among all InTouch OMI ViewApp instances in a Galaxy. Each ViewApp Namespace can contain up to 10,000 custom attributes, and you can add as many namespaces as needed to support data sharing among all running InTouch OMI ViewApps. This includes running multiple instances of a single ViewApp. You can configure attribute values for each ViewApp individually, even though the attributes are shared by all the InTouch OMI ViewApps in the Galaxy.

ShowContent() Scripting Function and API Call

The ShowContent() scripting function and API call let you place symbols or layouts into specific panes within an InTouch OMI layout, either through scripting or programmatically. ShowContent() is similar to the existing ShowGraphic() function, but extends its functionality for InTouch OMI ViewApps. With the addition of ShowContent, the run-time behavior of the ShowGraphic function has been modified to work identically in InTouch OMI and InTouch HMI ViewApps. In previous InTouch OMI releases, ShowGraphic loaded modeless popup windows into a pane. Now, ShowGraphic will correctly load a graphic configured to load in a modeless window in InTouch OMI ViewApps. See Issue 988079 under InTouch OMI Issues for additional information.

Quality and Status Icons in the Navigation Tree

A quality status icon for the Alarm Adorner attribute is displayed at the right of, and aligned with, alarm aggregation counts for an area object in the Navigation Tree. The quality status icon for the Alarm Adorner uses icons that are globally configured for the status element. The status icon for the Alarm Adorner is shown below the area object, even if the Alarm Adorner is not visible. The icon indicates if the Alarm Adorner attribute has a configuration error, or has uncertain or bad quality.
