AVEVA InTouch: SeQent Integration Requirements

1. Determining the Install Machine

FPAMGWIT must be installed on the same Windows host that is running the InTouch project being monitored.

2. Abbreviations & Definitions

3. Environment Requirements

Prepare the environment for FPAMGWIT implementation:

1. Identify the InTouch project to be monitored. This is where FPAMGWIT will be installed.
2. Confirm that any managed InTouch instance alarms exist in Window Maker (Tag Database). Use the InTouch Application Manager to check whether the InTouch project is configured as Standalone or Managed.
3. Ensure AVEVA InTouch HMI is installed.

Gateway selection: Managed InTouch instances where alarms exist in ArchestrA IDE require SeQent’s FirstPAGE Alarm Manager Gateway for System Platform. Managed InTouch instances where alarms exist in both ArchestrA IDE and Window Maker (Tag Database) require both the FPAM Gateway for System Platform and the FPAM Gateway for InTouch.

License: An AVEVA InTouch license is required.

4. SeQent Software Requirements

Prepare the following details for configuring FPAMGWIT.

4.1 Local Project Path

During configuration of FPAMGWIT, set the Local Project Path to the folder containing the following files:

• Group.def
• Tagname.x

Tip: The Local Project Path can be found in the AVEVA Application Manager by selecting the desired project and using the Open Application Folder button.

4.2 Managed projects: locating Group.def

For managed InTouch projects where alarms are configured in Window Maker (Tag Database), the Group.def file may not be in the local project path.

• If Group.def is not present, copy it from the IDE where the InTouch project was deployed. Example path: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchestrA\Framework\FileRepository\PROJECTNAME\ObjectFileStorage\$SeQent_ITView\
• Open the latest Deployed folder to find the latest Group.def file.

4.3 Run the InTouch project from the console

1. Run the InTouch project from the console.
2. Confirm in SMC (System Management Console).
3. Review the log for the following entry, which confirms the project is running in console:
   Registering AlarmMgr with SLSSVC as "AlarmMgr0"

If the InTouch project is not running in console, the log entry looks like this instead:
Registering AlarmMgr with SLSSVC as "AlarmMgr[IP_Address]"
