ConverterWorX

GOAL:

Make it as easy as possible to convert a GENESIS32 application to GENESIS64.


EXTRACT: GENESIS32 ConverterWorX File Extract Utility• Small Footprint Application to support legacy systems• Copies the displays & configuration information to shared

media• Converts supported SQL Server databases to MDB formatEXPORT: GENESIS32 ConverterWorX Conversion Utility• Upgrade the Configuration Databases (MDBs) to 9.3

format• Export all configurations to XML, including:

• Displays, and configuration databasesIMPORT: GENESIS64 ConverterWorX Conversion Utility• Imports all previously exported information, including• Displays and configuration databases• Into GENESIS64 10.80 (and later)

Manual Conversion


CONVERT: Automatically convert the databases• Alarm Server, Alarm Logger, Trend Logger,• Global Aliases, Language Aliases• SNMP, ScheduleWorX

CHECK: Is there an opportunity for improving the solution• Databases: check if any improvements are possible• GraphWorX64: use of layouts, platforms, smart symbols,

etc.• Unified Data Manager/DataWorX32: consider AssetWorXCREATE: Setup these components in GENESIS64• Administration Services: GenBroker, Security• AssetWorX• Hyper Historian

Conversion – Best Practice

Check

Create


ScriptWorX2010 & ScriptWorX64• Databases are compatible, so no direct conversion needed• Is the scripting necessary, and would BridgeWorX be a

better fit• Consider any external controls used

Display Scripting• Use standard functions of GENESIS64 (e.g. load into

target)• Replace by Commanding where possible• Replace by GraphWorX64 scripts (Jscript. Net)

3rd Party Components• Replace with a standard product function• Replace with a new ICONICS component, e.g. video control• Rewrite the ActiveX control as a WPF control

FileName specifier• Local, network, or URL based path• Expression using the {{x= “…"}} syntax

TargetType and TargetName specifiers• Specify the target by type and behavior of the window• Specify the TargetName explicitly, partially using

wildcards, or via as a dynamic value using the {{x= “…"}} syntax

Standard Features• Local and Global Aliases, support expression {{x= “…"}}

syntax• OverrideWindowProperties for window, style and position

control• Supports Drag/Drop

Standard Features


When neither of commands can be used, and there is no alternative solution, then and only then use a script

When a standard command cannot be used, check if it is usable when combined with the {{x= …}} syntax, then use this instead

When a standard command is available use it instead of a script

Commands or Scripts – Best Practice

AssetWorX

ScalableSystems

Object Oriented

Normalize, Cache & Poll

Base for all AnalytiX

AssetWorX


Normalize the data into a consistent asset model• Simplified naming convention (ISA95 or organization

specific)• Hierarchical structure with parent/child relationship• Associate equipment properties to real time and historical

tagsCache (Store) the data that has been received• Values of equipment properties are stored persistently• Serves data to clients faster than slow sources• Stores the values written by the client

Polls the data independently of the clients that are connected• Periodically gets values from occasionally connected

sources• Stores the received values in the AssetWorX cache• Reads data in groups of configurable size

Data Cache

Data Polling


Distributed AssetWorX ArchitectureHeadquarters (Root AC)

Subsidiary A Subsidiary B

Subsidiary B1


Enable caching/storing of data and the appropriate data polling regime for data that is only intermittently available

Split assets across multiple site based servers, for the very large applications and linked them via central AssetWorX server(s)

Define assets using a well defined structure and associate both real-time and historical data to the equipment properties

AssetWorX – Best Practice


Demonstration


Include runtime values as the source to drive new values

Easier symbol configuration by the application engineer

Use in expressions to create new values

Use on many properties not just data sources

Symbols exposing user configurable properties

Smart Symbols

Style Properties

Smart Properties vs. Local Aliases

Fonts

AbμΩП


The application engineer selects the asset (not the properties) and specifies any necessary style information

Define smart symbols that make use of the equipment properties and expose the user configurable style properties

Define assets, optionally using equipment classes, using a well defined structure and equipment properties

Smart Symbols – Best Practice
