      • Runtime Model

        You create a model to build the runtime structure and content. You set up the types of equipment to use, the instances of equipment to appear in the runtime context, the information to display about the equipment, and the data sources for supplying for supplying data.

      • Model Editor

        Use the Model Editor to create and modify asset object types and asset objects in your model.

      • Supported Characters for the Model

        Before creating object types, objects and data variables, review the following tables to see which characters are supported as well as restricted.

      • Set Up Data Source Servers

        You define the data source servers used to populate data in your model.

      • Configure Data Distributor Settings
      • Set Up the Model Structure

        Object types define the structure of the equipment pieces within your model. For each object type, such as a StorageTank, you set up all the data variable names, such as TankLevel, that any asset object associated with this type can reuse in its own definition.

      • Define Objects

        Asset objects are the instances of equipment pieces, such as StorageTank1, to appear in the model. For each object, you determine which data variables derived from its object type to reuse, and then define them accordingly.

      • Duplicate Objects

        When an object uses similar data variables and contained objects as a configured object, you can duplicate the configured object to create new objects for your model.

      • Set Up Runtime Navigation

        Use the Navigation app to visually structure the runtime hierarchy of objects.

      • Change Server Details

        You can remove a server and change its system alias, type, and system name. When you change the server alias name, all objects using that alias are automatically updated.

      • Modify Object Types

        You can remove an asset object type and delete and modify its data variable names but you cannot change the name of an object type. All changes made to an object type are reflected in its object instances.

      • Remove Contained Types

        When you delete a child from an asset object type, it is also removed from all objects using it.

      • Replace Contained Objects

        You can quickly replace contained objects by browsing through a list of similar objects that are assigned to the same object type.

      • Modify Objects

        You can remove an asset object as well as change its data sources.

      • Export the Model

        You can generate a file containing the required section headers to get you started if your model is not yet created. You can also export an existing model to make changes to it.

      • Import a Model
      • Access the Model Template

        The model template, ModelStarterTemplateSteps.xlsm, provides a structure to help you create your model.

      • Model Template Description

        The model template provides sections to help you build the runtime model structure for trending historical data.

      • Define Trend Data

        You can view trend-line analysis of variable data for a selected time frame in Historian. You select which historical variables to view.
