Event Detection Wizard (Model Configuration)

The Event Detection Wizard simplifies the process of event and model configuration.  The wizard assumes you want to use a VB script -based model to eliminate pre-configuration and extended scripting.  When you select an event you want to detect, the wizard automatically selects a basic model and dynamically displays the various properties that must be configured for the selected model.

Configured Models Tab

The starting point for model configuration. When an event or model type is chosen, the Event Detection Wizard automatically assigns a default model, which is typically a VB script-based model.

Configured Model List

A display of all models configured for the Production Unit.

Add Model Section

Location to select the type of model to put into service.

General Tab

A record of general attributes for the selected type of model.

Exclusions

Values that the model ignores at run time and not used to trigger the model.

Extended Information

Information placeholder useful for custom reports or stored procedure calculation development.

Maximum Run Time

Maximum number of seconds for the model to run.  A Max Run Time of zero means the model will not time out.

Model Processing Group

Processing priority group.

Comments

Additional information details.

Identify Input(s) Tab

 

Used to select inputs associated with the model.  The nature of model inputs are defined.

Model Inputs Grid

Used to select one or more tags that the model will monitor.

The Define State section has options depending on the model selected.

Tie offset is the number of seconds backward from the trigger time at which the value will be retrieved.

At least one Trigger Tag must be selected for the model to work.

Model Input Properties

Alias refers to a specific input in the model logic or VB script.

Trigger determines whether or not a change in value of the specified tag will cause the model to be triggered or evaluated.

Tag is the Historian tag that the model monitors.

Attribute determines what is passed as an input to the model.

Current Event Attribute & Sampling Types determine what details of the current event are collected for the model.

Sampling Type determines how tag information is collected from the historian.

Time Offset indicates the seconds backward from the trigger time at which  the value will be retrieved.

Precision sets the number of decimal places for the input value of the tag.

Scripts Tab

Enables you to edit sample scripts or write script logic associated with the selected model. Business logic can be applied used the script logic.
