2.8 COS Dialogue for VISONIK Insight
2.8.1 Summary
This chapter contains information on:
•
Picture management in the DCS.
•
Management of dynamic channels in the DCS
•
Assignment of pictures to address ranges
The "UNIGYR VISONIK Insight" describes the entire functionality of the PC software.
2.8.2 Procedure
"UNIGYR VISONIK Insight" is a PC software package. A PC running with 'Insight' is
incorporated as a peripheral unit to a VISONIK Communication Server.
Creating pictures
A picture can be created directly with VISONIK Insight in two steps.
The first step involves drawing the picture. This is covered in the VISONIK
documentation.
The pictures are stored under a specific picture number. This picture number is a
common reference between VISONIK Insight and the DCS.
Through a Server dialogue (COS,ACT) the pictures are given their dynamic capabilities,
i.e. by defining dynamic active channels, a "real-time" updated relationship is
established between a colour picture and a displayed process point monitored by the
system.
Picture Selection
Besides direct picture selection at Insight or COS units, active pictures may be called up
through any DCS Reaction program.
Hard copies of actively updated pictures may also be printed out on colour or
black/white graphic printers.
2.8.3 Initial Access and Handling
CTRL/P COS
All Insight/COS pictures and symbol libraries are stored on the VISONIK system hard
