Configure Model 118 for Batch Analysis

Model 118 is used as a cross reference to map your batch data to the Plant Applications plant model. When Model 118 is activated, it automatically creates a hidden model (model 49000), which reads the records from the Event_Transactions table and puts them into the appropriate Plant Applications table.

NOTE: The functionality in this model is available only if you have purchased the Batch Analysis Module.

Plant Applications Administrator > Plant Model > Department > Production Line > Production Unit

To configure Model 118

  1. In the Plant Applications Administrator, expand Plant Model.

  2. Browse to the appropriate production unit, right-click and select Configure Events on <production unit name>. The Event Configuration wizard appears.

  3. On the Configured Models tab, under Add Model, select Production Event from the Model Type list and click Add New Model.

  4. On the General tab, click More Models. The Search dialog box appears.

  5. Select Model 118 Batch Import and click Ok.

  6. Edit the following properties:

  7. optional: In the Exclusions box, type the values this model is to ignore and not use to trigger the model.

  8. optional: In the Extended Information box, type additional information that may be useful. This is not used on any reports or displays.

  9. optional: In the Maximum Run Time (Seconds) box, type the number of seconds you want the model to run. The default is 0 (zero), which means the model will not time out. Typically, you will want to limit the run time of the model only if troubleshooting the model (for example, one of the stored procedures is in an infinite loop).

  10. Model Processing Group is not used for this model.

  11. Area: This is the value in the Area in your Batch Analysis table and gets mapped to the Department level in the Plant Applications plant model.

  12. Cell: This is the value in the ProcCell in your Batch Analysis table and gets mapped to the Production Line level in the Plant Applications plant model.

  13. Unit: This is the value in the Unit in your Batch Analysis table and gets mapped to the Production Unit level in the Plant Applications plant model.

  14. Tag Prefix: This property is reserved for future use.

  15. Last Number: optional. Enter the number of the record in the Event_Transactions table where you want to start processing.

  16. Last Time: optional. Enter the time of the record in the Event_Transactions table where you want to start processing.

NOTE: The Last Time property has precedence over the Last Number property.

  • Default Product Family: optional. Specify the product family your batch product will be associated with. If you leave this blank, your batch product will be associated with the default, "Product Family." (Product family ID = 1)

  • Data Source: optional. Specify the data source type, which will be used to map various objects (variables, for example) to the batch data. For example, if you have ProductABC in Plant Applications and the same product is called Batch123 in your batch data, you can create a cross reference so that Plant Applications will know that Batch123 is ProductABC and vice versa. The available data sources are determined by the active data sources listed in Global Configuration > Data Source Types.

  1. Click Save and Yes to activate the model.
