InTouch Technology Modernization

PONG!

Would you run your production system on technology this outdated?

Time to Get Modern!


NOW is the Time for EVERYONE to Make the Switch!

• Aging, less Interactive and less Compatible Technology

• Aging, “digital native” Workforce

• A Demand for Standardization

• Increasing Dependence on High Resolution Data

• IT/OT Convergence

• Requirement for Greater Operational Efficiency through Situational Awareness

Even smaller, less complex systems can now benefit from Modernizing their Application.


Getting Modern – Just a Few Benefits• Hierarchical Object Modeling using Templates to represent namespaces, areas, system elements or devices.

• Vastly improved integrated development environment that provides multiple views of the application and the architecture on which it runs, better search capability, hierarchical organization and grouping and much more.

o Controlled development preventing multiple developers from duplicating or doing conflicting development work.

o Change Trackingo Object Validation of attributes, attribute references, scripts, extensions and other configuration parameters.o Ability to protect custom, proprietary development.o Easy export of objects for reuse in other projects.o I/O Auto Assignment with DEV-time validationo Intellisense code completion aid to reduce errors.

• Centralization of development. Instead of having different and disconnected areas for configuring tags, alarms, historization, connectivity, graphics and scripts, centralize development by System, Area and devices and configure all aspects in one place.

• Easy Scalability - Build an object template once, then “cookie-cut & customize” it as the site expands. Also manage object changes easily through change propagation.

• Easy management of InTouch application distribution. Improved efficiency and ability to balance workload across your hardware and network.

• Enhanced security and permissions.

Getting Modern• Switch from a flat file of Tag Names tied to Access Names to Attributes tied to DIObjects.• Each attribute has built-in properties and extensions to save development time. These can be

visualized and historized.• Need for Indirect or Remote tags is eliminated.• Internal data points (analogous to Memory Tags) do not count against your I/O limit.

• ArchestrA Graphics are exponentially more versatile and allow access to properties not accessible for InTouch graphics.

• ArchestrA Graphics are vector and scale better across different resolutions.• Graphic Templates minimize development and maintenance time.• Full library of pre-made graphics out of the box.• Propagate changes that update all of your graphic instances in a few short clicks.• Embedded in an object template, graphics use the parameters/data points already configured

for the object.• ArchestrA Graphics can serve as .NET Control containers.• Take advantage of a customizable Style Library for standardization across your application.• Use the Symbol Wizard to create graphics containing multiple visual or functional configurations.• Take advantage of Situational Awareness, Alarming, Status and Data Quality visual cues which

can be added through simple point and click.

• Update to the ArchestrA Alarm Database or Alarm history being stored in Historian, which is exponentially more accessible and manageable over the legacy WWALMDB.

• Update to the highly functional Alarm .NET controls.• Take advantage of enhanced functionality including Alarm Shelving.• Alarm Aggregation

Alarms


Getting Modern• Utilize Device Integration Objects to configure connection to I/O Servers and collect data for

references.• Take advantage of Redundant Device Integration Objects for data ingress high availability.• Test reference addressing and successful data acquisition while in development.

• InTouch QuickScripts replaced by ArchestrA Object and ArchestrA Graphic Scripting – a much more capable and powerful scripting language and development environment.

• Take advantage of a pre-built script library to employ commonly needed functionality.• Utilize the .NET script library to enhance and customize controls.

• Replace native InTouch Trends with more robust .NET Trend controls that come out of the box.• Use individual Trend Pen controls to highlight critical data points.• Take advantage of Trend grouping functionality.

• Phase out the older ActiveX technology and replace it with .NET.• Use .NET controls that come with ancillary, third-party software (cameras, etc.).• Leverage pre-built .NET controls that are widely available across the Internet.• Use the new correlating .NET controls already available to replace InTouch native controls.

Modernization


Make the LEAP to InTouch OMIWorlds first Operations Management Interface

Application is dynamically auto-generated and will beautifully dis-play across virtually any platform.

Custom Apps• Interactive Mapping• 3D Site Overview• Live Camera Feed• Web Content - Accuweather, Wikis, etc.• Document Display• Historian playback• Powerful navigation tools• Much More!

View information in full context and then drill down to view more specific information in a less-cluttered interface.

Unifies islands of information from a variety of sources. Combine automation, information and visualization into a single platform.
