Data Selector

The Data Selector shows the hierarchical structure that represents the available Exaquantum process data. The structure of this display will represent the Plant Model that has been configured for the user, and which the user is permitted to access. The Plant Model is a list of Exaquantum tags from the Exaquantum data servers and historical information from archive servers, configured in Exaquantum. The hierarchical structure can list for example, all the plants, the unit in these plants, the equipment in each unit and the tags that measure the equipment performance. What each user sees is defined in the Role Based Namespace for the user, or for the group to which he belongs.

Use the Data selector to search for and select specific data. You can attach data to the controls in a document by dragging the applicable attribute or tag from the Data Selector onto the control. This function links the data to the control, in Run mode the data is displayed on the document.

Note: The Exaquantum/PIMS Administrator will have created folders, Function Blocks, tags and specific properties or values using the Administration Tools. These Administration Tools will allow you to build a directory and structure to match the plant process.

The Data Selector is available in Run mode and Design mode. All the procedures described can be performed in either mode.
