Because therecan be multiple tasks in one strategy, you can create multiple Task Designer windows inside ADAMView.For the same reason, you can create multiple Display Designer windows for editing multiple Displays.In any application there can be only one Main Script. Therefore, only one Script Designer window can beopened.Any number of Blocks and I/O Devices can be used at one time, limited only by your system’s speedand memory. It is suggested that the number of icon blocks not exceed 500.
If the number of iconblocks exceeds 500 system performance may be adversely affected. From small applications interfacing only a few blocks, through full-scale industrial process control systems running many I/ODevices simultaneously, ADAMView provides you with the quickest and most efficient acquisition/controlsolution.41.3 ADAMView Component DescriptionThe intent of this section is to provide a general idea about what’s been added to this new version ofADAMView. ADAMView has been transformed from data acquisition and control application software to anapplication builder for all kinds of automation. We have placed an emphasis on expandability, capacity, and programmability.
The architecture is modified to be more open, allowing access to all dataitems in ADAMView. Also, hardware support has been greatly expanded. Hardware support now coversvirtually all Advantech ADAM hardware families, as well as a myriad of products from other vendors.1.3.1 VBA Compatible Script DesignerADAMView Script Designer is a VBA-compatible basic script engine. Script Designer not only features arobust Visual Basic programming engine, but also includes many tasks and real time data accessfunctions. Through this script engine, users can call DDE, OLE Automation and ODBC (SQL) functions to integrate with other applications.VBA Compatible Script EditingThe script designer is basically a text editor with some convenient features for editing script code.The script source will be compiled into p-code after editing so it won’t need to be compiled again atruntime.
The syntax of the BasicScript is compatible with Microsoft VBA (Visual Basic for Applicationin Excel, Word, Access, etc.) and Microsoft Visual Basic. It is possible to take a Visual Basic sourcecode and compile and execute it under BasicScript without changing a word if only common functionsare used. The two development environments are very similar.
In the source code design stage itfeatures cut, copy and paste functions.Script Debug FunctionsThe ADAMView editing program can run strategies in a debug mode, in which you work through aprogram line by line and review a scan task block by block. This major improvement allows users todesign and debug complicated strategies in the editor before using the runtime only program.
Theruntime program now uses even less memory and offers improved performance.Programming Tasks and Real-time I/O DirectlyThe Script Designer is used for editing the main script and scripts inside a task. The main scriptcontrols the entire runtime, including starting a task and/or stopping a task. In addition to task management, ADAMView provides a variety of commands to process I/O data.Main ScriptThe main script is used to control and manage tasks. The initialize statement initializes all the datarelated to a task. The Start/Stop statement is used to start and run a task to completion.
Single Scanstatement will do a one-time scan of the task specified.Pre-task ScriptThe pre-task script is used to define task properties and initialize all data related to a task.Post-task ScriptThe post-task script is used to clear-out task related data.5Basic Script IconBasicScript is used to get, analyze and set I/O data.1.3.2 Task DesignerADAMView Task Designer uses a dataflow programming model that frees you from the linear architectureof text-based languages.
To create a process monitoring and control application, you construct theblock diagram without worrying about the many syntactical details of conventional programming.Simply select objects (icons) from the Icon Toolbox and connect them with wires to pass data from oneblock to the next.Multiple Tasks to Improve PerformanceADAMView Task Designer allows editing of multiple tasks at the same time.
Each task is contained in atask window and has it‘s own properties such as scan rate, start/stop method, etc. One strategy file isused to store all scan tasks that are related to a control strategy. For simple strategy with only onetask, it runs the same way as before. But for strategies that have more than one scan task, a top-levelmain script is required to manage the execution of all scan tasks. ADAMView supports up to 8 tasks.A large complicated task can be broken into several smaller, simpler tasks.
This not only simplifiesthe editing job, but also increases the performance at runtime, as fewer blocks need to be processedat each scan.Block Sequence ArrangementADAMView Task Designer features the block sequence arrangement functions that shows the order ofexecution on all blocks. With displayed order number, users can arrange the order of execution of theblocks (icons) based on the priority of operations to meet the requirements of system needs.Virtual TagThe Virtual Tag is a powerful feature that provides the ability to let developer to create customized tagin Task Designer without using User Defined DLL. The virtual tag is created by Task Designer andstored in data center as other built-in blocks.
The virtual tags are global available to all tasks, so youcan use virtual tags to share data among multiple tasks.1.3.3 Display DesignerIf you have MMI requirements, ADAMView screen designer will help you quickly create intuitive standardgraphical displays by provided graphical wizards. And, you can further customize your MMI withdrawing tools and user-defined display tool.Drawing ToolsADAMView enhances the man-machine interface (MMI) by providing graphic tools to draw pumps, valves,rectangles, circles, segments, and polygons in the screen designer’s toolbox.
In addition, it allows theuser to configure the colors and sizes of these figures. These drawing tools include oval, rectangle,round rectangle, polygon and line. In addition to drawing tools, ADAMView also provides “Make Object”and “Break Object” commands to let you integrate drawing components into a meaningful picture foryour data acquisition and control.61.3.4 Report DesignerADAMView Report Designer provides a configurable environment in which users can define the contentsof a given report. It collects the required data at specific time intervals and these reports are printedautomatically at a user-defined time.
The interfaces provided in Report Designer may also be used toselect and print reports manually.ADAMView Report Designer includes five major functions: data collection, report format configuration,report scheduler, report generation and alarm report generation.Data CollectionData collection function creates database files (.DBF files) for each defined TAG point at a userspecified time.
Data collection function is designed for report generation. The shortest time intervalfor data collection from a given TAG point is 10 minutes. If needed, high-speed data collection isaccomplished through other trend data collection functions.Report Format ConfigurationReport format configuration function provides user interface dialog boxes, which allow users to set upthe report format and report print time.
Report format entries are organized in a table form and usersenter text or specified keywords to define each table column. Information from each report format issaved to a format file, and extracted during report generation.Report GenerationReport generation function combines the format file and data collection database file to produce aprinted report. At the moment, reports are limited to tabular format report. A graphical report withdaily trend output will be developed in the future.Report SchedulerReport scheduler sets the time at which reports will be generated. At a user-defined time, reportscheduler calls the report generation function to generate the report.
Report Scheduler also informsusers of report printing status.Alarm ReportAlarm report generation function produces equipment fault reports. These reports provide information on time of fault occurrence, operator acknowledgment and recovering records.71.3.5 Open Data CenterData Center is the central repository for all process monitoring and control data in ADAMView. You caneasily integrate real-time data from the data center into a company-wide information system to efficiently support decision-making.
Data Center features two different sets of interfaces to the outsideworld: C API, OLE automation, and DDE functions.C API is the most efficient interface, so it is used for all communication between components ofADAMView. OLE automation is designed to interface with OLE-aware applications.81.4 What's New in ADAMView 4.25Convenient Install and Uninstall ProgramADAMView 4.25 includes an convenient installation and uninstallation program.Serial Number Protection and Free Two Hours Trail UseADAMView is a Serial Protected Software, The serial number is labled on the box and CD Case,we also provide two hours trial use by keyin 0000000000 for Trail use serial number.Compatible with Windows 95/98 , Windows NT/2000 and Windows XPADAMView is compatible with Windows 95/98, Windows NT(Service Pack 4 or Above) and Windows2000/XP Operating System.Improved Reliability and RobustnessADAMView includes many substantial improvements over Advantech GENIE 3.0.
