Topic 1.1.1: ArchestrA Visualization

  • 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 given object 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 work within 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 in conjunction with the Wonderware System Platform, displaying data from objects defined in a Wonderware Application Server galaxy.
  • What is a managed InTouch Application?
    • A managed InTouch Application is one that is created from within the ArchestrA IDE, and deployed as an object in the Wonderware Application Server application.
    • Creating a managed Application allows use of ArchestrA Symbols. A managed InTouch Application exhibits the same kind of behavior as other objects in the IDE, such as the ability to check out and check in, but opens in an external development environment called WindowMaker.
