Outline - InTouch - Part 1

The InTouch - Part 1 course is a 4-day, instructor-led class designed to teach the basic functionality of the Wonderware visualization module. The purpose of this course is to give you the InTouch HMI knowledge necessary to develop a Human Machine Interface (HMI) for the specific plant floor environment using basic InTouch HMI elements. This HMI system will be developed using many of the InTouch HMI software features/functionality such as WindowMaker Tagnames, Animation, Cells and Symbols, SmartSymbols, Scripting, Alarms, RealTime and Historical Trending, Advanced Tag Functionality, Security, and Application Backup. In addition, this course provides introductory material about creating managed InTouch applications as well as basic information regarding ArchestrA Graphics.

Objective: Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Create stand-alone and managed InTouch applications
• Use WindowMaker to create windows and manipulate objects
• Create and import tags and use the Tagname Dictionary
• Define animation links and generate SmartSymbols
• Use the scripting editor to create QuickScripts
• Add alarm functionality to an application
• Insert an ArchestrA Symbol into a managed InTouch application
• View user data in real-time and retrieve data from historical archives
• Establish communication with I/O aware programs and configure and troubleshoot I/O servers
• Implement InTouch HMI security in an application
• Backup and application
• Develop a Human Machine Interface (HMI) application for your specific plant floor environment using basic InTouch HMI elements

Audience: Plant floor operators and managers, system administrators, system integrators and other individuals who need to use InTouch HMI in their manufacturing processes.

Prerequisites: The prerequisites for this course are:
