Sacramento Application Architecture
![Page 7: Blair Sooley and Carl Wills of Trihedral Engineering.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102808/56649cb65503460f9497b94e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Multi-location, centralized management(i.e. The Mothership)All tag values, display pages, alarms and scripts
are synchronized across all locationsDistributed Historian provides redundant data
access and backup. All data available from any networked computer.
Realm area filtering. Separation of an application into logical areas (e.g. Plant 1 = area 1, Plant 2 = area 2)
![Page 8: Blair Sooley and Carl Wills of Trihedral Engineering.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102808/56649cb65503460f9497b94e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mothership AdvantagesApplication configuration from any
location with a VTS Full Development license installed.
Centralized security policy. Each user account provides access to one or more logical areas. Users see only local data and alarms.
Reports and trends can be generated from any location.

Plant AutonomyEach location is independent of all others.Local I/O is handled by local I/O servers. Some
locations have redundant I/O connectivity.Local historical data is buffered locally during
WAN outages.

Runtime vs. Development EnvironmentOnline change creationTry-it before you buy-it methodologyReal-time change deploymentNo limit to the number of concurrent developers

Tag ManagementSacramento database has 90,000 +
tags, expected to grow to 120,000 + tags.
Create/modify/delete individual tags via Tag Browser.
Import/export tool for bulk tag changesSuggest standardized tag naming. Use
prefix (e.g. FBT_ = Fairbairn tag. Underscore increases readability)
Suggest standardized Area parameter. Use prefix (e.g. Fairbairn = Fairbairn Area)
Areas are used by Realm Area Filtering.
![Page 13: Blair Sooley and Carl Wills of Trihedral Engineering.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102808/56649cb65503460f9497b94e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Display Page ManagementDisplay pages located in library.Pre-defined displays for Alarms Management,
Historical Data trends, Reports GenerationDisplay sizing, placement, backgrounds,
naming via Properties.All required drag and drop development tools
available via configuration toolbox.Questionable data flag (‘?’)Add graphics and digital pictures to library as
necessary.Suggest standardized page naming
convention. Use prefix (e.g. FB_ = Fairbairn display.) Page names and tag names CAN NOT be the same.

Application NavigationDisplay page menu.Quick link ‘alarm bell’ to Alarms
ManagementPage hot-boxes and hot-buttons.Forward, reverse buttons (last 10
selected displays.)Task bar page links (user specific.)

Custom Template Library DevelopmentUser Drawing Methods (UDM)
Create common graphics to represent combinations of graphics, tags, text, etc.
Create an instance of the UDM with unique parameters.
Changing UDM changes all instances of UDM throughout application.
Can be copied/pasted to speed up development.
Parameterized Display PagesSimilar to UDM but for Display
Pages.

Simplified Offline Development (Changesets)Configure app from any offline computer with
VTS Full Development or SI license.Create compressed .changeset file (analagous
to .zip file) of entire application, excluding alarms and historical data
Send/carry file to customer siteSimple import of .changeset file on runtime or
development production server.Application restart NOT required for imports of
tags and display pages.

Application Version ControlSecure version repository.Workstation log notes last known application
version running on each networked workstation.Each version details incremental changes. Changes can be merged from multiple
developers.Switch to version, reverse changes as necessary.
