It may become useful to test connectivity to a local or remote SQL Server to verify the connection, or credentials in use. This document was designed to explain the process of testing the SQL connection using a common, and non-software specific method.
...System Platform Galaxies should be backed up so that if the Galaxy becomes corrupted, you can restore it to a working state. The Galaxy backup file can be used to overwrite an existing, corrupted Galaxy or to re-create it as a new Galaxy.
This tech note will provide instructions on how to create a Galaxy backup file and provide the steps for restoring an existing Galaxy as well as using a Galaxy backup to create a new Galaxy.
...Certain conditions (hardware failure of a deployed node, restoring a Galaxy from a backup, etc.) can cause the deployment state of an object in the IDE to be different from the object’s actual state.
This tech note will provide steps to correct this mismatch.
...When a Device Integration object gets disconnected from its data source (e.g. an AVEVA OI Server), it must be manually triggered to reconnect when the source becomes available again. This tech note will instruct you on how to set up an auto reconnect feature and add additional diagnostic information that will indicate the number of disconnects the object has experienced since it last went on scan.
...This guide will provide an overview of each InTouch application type, including instructions on how to move, modify, and create backups of each application....
There are multiple concepts concerning redundancy and load balancing when discussing the Wonderware Application Server solution. The purpose of this document is to clearly define the concepts of both I/O and Application Object failover and load balancing.
...The Wonderware Remote Response Object is an email and text message notification solution for Wonderware Application Server 3.0 or higher. The Remote Response Object is a set of fully functional ArchestrA Objects that integrate with a System Platform Environment, and can be customized by the user to deliver alarm notification via e-mail or text message to cell phones via SMS (Simple Messaging System). Remote users can view alarm information, acknowledge alarms, and enter comments all from a remote device.
...With the release of Wonderware Application Server 3.1 and Wonderware InTouch 10.1 you now have access to two new graphical elements. One of those elements is the "ArchestrA Alarm Client Control". The purpose of this document is to help users get started with the implementation of the referenced element.
...It may become useful to use an ArchestrA graphic for a purpose other than the original design. For example, say you like the look of the ArchestrA graphic titled "ButtonGlossyDotMomentaryOrange", but you want to use it for both a direct type action and then use the same graphic for a toggle type action. This document will relay a general procedure to accomplish this by using the preceding example.
...With the release of the ArchestrA Bulk Import Utility, it is possible to directly convert Wonderware InTouch tagnames into the ArchestrA IDE (Integrated Development Environment) as application objects. This tech note details the basic procedure required to perform this task with a select set of Wonderware InTouch tags under a single alarm group. Specifically, this example involves importing discrete and analog tags used to represent pumps and PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control loops.
Please note that the procedure for larger applications or 3rd party HMIs may be more involved. For further details on using the ArchestrA Bulk Import utility please...
