Application - A collection of objects within a Galaxy Repository that performs an
automation task. Synonymous with Galaxy. There may be one or more applications
within a Galaxy Repository.
|
|
Application Engine (AppEngine) - A scan-based engine that hosts and executes
the runtime logic
contained within
AutomationObjects.
|
|
Application Object - An AutomationObject that represents some element of your
application. This may include things such as (but not limited to) an automation
process component (for instance, a thermocouple, pump, motor, valve, reactor,
or tank) or associated application component (for instance, function block, PID
loop, Sequential Function Chart, Ladder Logic program, batch phase, or SPC data
sheet).
|
|
Application Server - The supervisory control platform. Application Server uses existing
Wonderware products such as InTouch for visualization, the Wonderware Historian
for data storage, and the device Integration product line like a Data Access
Server (DAServer) for device communications.
- An Application Server can be distributed across multiple computers
as part of a single Galaxy Namespace.
|
|
Application Views - The Application Views pane displays the object-related contents of
the Galaxy in different ways: Model view, Deployment
view, Derivation view and Operations
view. The Model view is the default
display when the ArchestrA IDE is first opened.
|
|
ArchestrA - The distributed architecture for supervisory control
and manufacturing information systems. It is an
open and extensible technology based on a distributed, object-based design.
|
|
ArchestrA Object Toolkit - A programmer’s tool used to create new Application Objects and Device
Integration Object Templates, including their configuration and run-time
implementations. Includes a developer tool used to build DI Objects and create
unique Domain Objects that interact with DI Objects in the ArchestrA
environment.
|
|
Area - A logical grouping of AutomationObjects that represents an area or
unit of a plant. It is used to group related AutomationObjects for alarm, history,
and security purposes. It is represented by an Area AutomationObject.
|
|
Area Object - The System Object that represents an Area of your plant within a
Galaxy. The Area Object acts as an alarm concentrator, and is used to place
other Automation Objects into proper context with respect to the actual
physical automation layout.
|
|
Assignment - The designation of a host for an AutomationObject. For example, an AppEngine AutomationObject is assigned to a
WinPlatform AutomationObject.
