Data Source Control Graph View

 

Overview

 
The Control Graph provides a visual rendering of entities found in Hiway Box configuration that contain parameter connection relationships that form a Control Strategy. The Control Graph view analyzes a selected Hiway Box to form a visual block rendering of its contained Slot configuration with their parameter connection relationships rendered as data flow connections.
 
The Control Graph view provides a summary view of Box Slot entities that have connection relationships that form a Control Strategy. It provides a 10,000 foot view of your control system applications allowing you to quickly visualize relationships.
 
The only Analyzer supported in this release is for Hiway analysis.  The Hiway Analyzer supports not only relationships between Hiway Box slots, but also relationships that exist within AM entities, AMCL code and Hiway PIU type references.  The visual blocks are rendered to quickly identify the node type based on its block surface information and color schema.  AMCL type references support an Adorner that becomes visible when the block is hovered over with the mouse cursor.  This Adorner displays a button that allows you to view both AMCL source code in a Code View window and also provides a list of CL packages that are referenced in AM entities that can be selected to view its Package source code.
