Process Displays; Faceplates - ABB 800xA User Manual

Process Displays

Process Displays
During an upload the process displays and display elements are transferred from the
provider system to the subscriber. The references to the provider objects are
changed to references to the proxy objects.
Process Graphics will resolve the late binding references such as,
LateBoundPropertyRef function only on the subscriber system. Ensure to include
the referenced objects during an upload to the subscriber system as they are not
automatically uploaded.
In some applications it is useful to have process displays that show values from
more than one provider. With 800xA Multisystem Integration this is easily achieved,
since the uploaded proxy aspect works identically with all other aspects with OPC
data.
This means that to create a new process display with values from any connected
provider system is exactly the same way as to create process displays for a single
system.
It is recommended that the additional process displays are not placed within an
uploaded object, as that they will be removed when a Clean operation is
performed.
If there are displays in the provider system using new Logical Color definition
aspects, or if the default one is changed, these must be exported from the provider
system and imported to the subscriber system using the Import/Export tool.
Do not upload the Graphics Structure to the subscriber if PG2 is used. Instead,
export the used generic elements and solution libraries from the provider system
and import them to the subscriber system using the Import/Export tool.

Faceplates

During an upload, faceplates are transferred from the provider to the subscriber
system and their references are automatically changed to the uploaded proxy
objects.
As operator notes are not uploaded, the diagnostics information for faceplates
will show that the property HoldsData is invalid. This does not affect the
functionality of the faceplate, except for the operator note.
