The Pulse Client Workstation


The Pulse Client workstations (Operator, Developer and Monitor) are the main
interfaces with your Pulse projects. Through the Client computers web browser,
you log into the default project over an Internet or Intranet connection.
Operator Workstation - In the Operator Workstation, users receive
information from the data sources, as well as input information and commands
to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), other field devices, or to third-party
databases. The data exchange is based on the engineering performed in the
Developer Workstation.
Monitor Workstation - In Monitor mode, users can only view project data, but
cannot write input data or change the value or status of any object.
Developer Workstation - The process of creating project components
(displays, inserting graphic objects, instruments and controls), creating and
configuring database blocks, alarms and more, is done in the Developer
Workstation.
Furthermore, you can customize the Developer Workstation interface by
showing or hiding the docking panels, selecting a skin or localizing the
workstation.
To run a client workstation
1 Open an Internet browser and type in the Pulse servers host name or IP
address and the virtual directory name you provided in the installation
process. For example, http://pulseserver/pulseclient. The Pulse Web Portal
opens.
NOTE To open a client workstation on the same computer as the Pulse Server,
open the Windows Desktops Start menu, point to the Programs > AFCON
Pulse menu and click Launch Workstation.

The Developer Workstation


The process of designing project components (creating displays inserting and
defining graphic objects, instruments and controls), creating and configuring
database blocks, alarms and more, is done in the Developer Workstation.

Creating Displays
Much of the development work takes place in displays. A display is a work area that
functions as an interactive model of a factorys or organizationss facilities (such as
a production floor, warehouse, or building lobby). In the Developer Workstation,
you can create a collection of dynamic and/or static objects that represent devices
or other equipment. The objects have defined properties, which affect how the
objects appear and behave according to the data received from the various data
sources.
Pulse provides many versatile tools for representing objects in the display:

Graphic objects

Instruments

ClipArt

.NET components

ActiveX controls

Cells

In this Getting Started Guide, we will demonstrate the definition of graphic objects
and instruments. For additional information, please refer to the Pulse Online Help
or User Guide.

Pulse Getting Started Guide

22

Inserting and Defining Graphic Objects


A graphic object is a shape that you insert into the display, which will represent an
indicator or a control. You can create graphic objects that use animation to supply
information to the operator or as a means of executing commands from the
operator workstation.
To Insert graphic objects (such as rectangles, ellipses, polyline and spline, text
objects and more) into a display, cell or a template, you can use any of the
following methods:
Select the object from the Graphic Objects area of the Insert ribbon.
Select the object from the Toolbox docking panel, if open in the workstation.
After inserting the graphic objects, you may reshape, reposition, resize and rotate
them. Additionally, you can define physical properties (fill and line) for the objects
and text content.
You also need to define each graphic objects animation properties, which include
the communication address (Item) from which it receives data, and other
parameters which affect the objects appearances and behavior.
After you have created and edited the object, you can group several objects
together and assign them with identical animation properties, order the objects,
duplicate them, assign a theme and style, associate objects to layers, and more.

Pulse Getting Started Guide

23

For more details about manipulating graphic objects, refer to the Pulse User Guide
or Online Help.
To insert a graphic object into a display, cell or template
1 Select the object from either the Graphic Objects area in the Insert ribbon,
the Insert button in the Home ribbon, or from the Toolbox docking panel by
clicking on the object you wish to insert, for example, a rectangle.
2 In the display, notice that the mouse pointer changes to indicate that the
object is selected. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the pointer until
you release it. The object is inserted over the area you dragged.
3 Continue to insert as many objects as you need. When finished, either hit the
ESC (Escape) key or, click on the mouse pointer icon.

Resizing an object
To resize an object
1 Click the object once. The selected object is clearly marked.

Assigning Graphics Properties


Use the Graphics Properties panel to define the physical appearance of a graphic
object. You can set a graphic or text object's fill and line colors as well as the text's
appearance, or you can assign the object with a style.
The graphics properties panel is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) tool.
This means that the same graphics properties assigned to an object during the
development stage of the project, are the ones you will see in the Operator
Workstation.

Accessing the Graphics Properties


Select the object and open the Graphics Properties using one of the following
methods:
From the Developer Workstation Personalize ribbon, select the Graphics icon.

Objects
Adding Animation Properties to an object defines how the object appears and
behaves in the Operator Workstation. An objects look and actions may convey
information statically or dynamically as the data values change.
The objects properties are linked to the devices item, which may represent a block
name, communication address, or expression. In the Operator Workstation, the
object is displayed according to the assigned properties and to the devices status.
For example, an object can have properties that cause it to change color when a
specified event occurs.
To define the animation properties, you double-click the graphic object, open the
relevant animation properties, and enable features and set values as required.
The types of properties are:
Indicator

Defining an objects appearance. Use Indicators to


create textual, color, and graphic presentations of data
via the Operator Workstation. Specify presentation
formats that change textual content, position, color,
and size according to data values.

Control

Defining how an object behaves in the Operator


Workstation. Use Controls to specify every aspect of
input via the Operator Workstation: data input formats,
accelerator keys, and actions. By choosing among
various Controls, you can specify graphic objects to be
either boxes for data input, buttons which initiate
actions such as opening or closing a window, or sliders
which allow the setting of input values by moving
graphic objects vertically and horizontally.

The available Animation Properties are:

Appearance

Position

Size

Text

Visibility

Slider

Orientation

Inserting and Manipulating Instruments


Pulse instruments are pre-designed objects, which may be assigned with dynamic
properties, that you insert into a display or a template. The various types of
instruments display information, carry out functions, or run applications in
accordance to the data they receive from their respective advised items.
For example, trend graphs can display real-time or historical data from numerous
advised items, an embedded Alarm Explorer can display alarm information, a data
sheet instrument can display data from various data sources (such as XML files,
OLEDB databases, text and INI files), as well as numerous other functions. Other
examples of Pulse instruments are buttons, sliders, gauges and meters to control
production floor equipment, or to display information coming from the field.
To Insert instruments into a display or a template, you can use any of the following
methods:
Select the instrument from the Instruments area of the Insert ribbon
Select the instrument from the Toolbox docking panel, if open in the
workstation.
After inserting the instruments, you may manipulate their size and position, and
define their settings.
NOTE Repositioning and resizing instruments is done using the same methods as
for graphic objects (except for the Text instrument which you can only
resize horizontally), refer to Inserting and Defining Graphic Objects on
page 23 and apply the instructions.
To insert an instrument into a display or template
1 Select the object from either the Instruments area in the Insert ribbon, the
Insert button in the Home ribbon, or from the Toolbox docking panel by

Data Blocks
A data block is a database element used for processing data. It has the following
functionality:
Provides an operator interface
Generates alarms
Collects history
Exchanges data with external devices and internal variables
Exchanges data between blocks
Converts raw data

Types of Database Blocks


You may create and configure the following types of database blocks:
Analog Value

This block is used for analog variables. Analog values are


constantly scanned. Alarms can be generated and
history collected.

Analog Pointer

This block is used for analog variables, mainly for data


conversion. An analog pointer type of block is scanned
upon request.

Digital Value

This block is used for digital variables. Digital values are


constantly scanned. Alarms can be generated and
history collected.

Digital Pointer

This block is used for digital variables and is scanned


only upon request.

Calculation

This block can perform calculations on analog and digital


block values. These blocks are constantly scanned.
Alarms can be generated and history collected.

Boolean

This block is used for boolean algebraic calculations,


which are constantly scanned. Alarms can be generated
and history collected.

String Pointer

This block receives up to twenty 16 bit word values from


registers in a PLC or other devices and converts them
into a text string of up to 40 characters.

Pulse Getting Started Guide

40

Alarm

This block enables definition of up to 80 digital alarms.


Each alarm block reads 5 registers of 16 bits, each from
up to five different PLCs, and relates to each bit as a
separate alarm. A different alarm status can be defined
for each different bit. Alarm status can be: On, Off,
Change Of State.
Each Alarm block reads 5 addresses (registers) of 16 bits
each (up to eighty digital alarms), from up to five
different PLCs, and relates to each bit as a separate
alarm. For each bit, a different alarm status can be
defined: ON, OFF, or COS.

String Pointer

String Pointer blocks are used to convert numerical data


into text. They can receive up to twenty 16-bit word
values from registers in a PLC or other peripheral device
and convert them into a text string of up to 40
characters. They can also convert a text string input by
the operator into register values to be sent to the PLC or
other device. String Pointer blocks are only processed
when used somewhere in the Pulse system.
Part or all the message sent or retrieved by the block can
be defined as a constant. The constant can be used to
identify the device in the operator display. Different
conversions can be specified in the block, according to
the way the device generates and reads characters.

SER

The Sequence of Events Recorder enables Pulse to


capture and present events at subsecond time resolution
(e.g., 10 milliseconds). You can create up to 32 SER
blocks in your application.

Alarm Bit

Alarm blocks can contain up to five registers, which in


turn can contain up to 16 alarm bits each, for a
maximum capacity of 80 alarm bits per block.
Each alarm bit can hold a unique digital alarm associated
with its registers data source. For each bit, you need to
specify its alarm handling configuration.

Master Blocks

Pulse Getting Started Guide

NOTE This option enables the user to create Master


blocks of Analog Value, Analog Pointer, Digital
Value, Digital Pointer, Calculation, Boolean,
Alarm and String Pointer blocks.

Creating a Digital Value Block


Digital Value blocks receive a digital value from a coil, relay, or input, or a bit in a
register from a PLC or other peripheral device. They process logical data whose
values equal 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).
In this exercise, we will create a block which will display an alarm entry in the Alarm
Explorer whenever the stop light created in a previous exercise changes its color,
see Creating an On/Off Button and Stop Light Object on page 34.
To add a Digital Value block
1 In the Database tree, right-click anywhere in the DigitalValue branch and then
click New Block. A form opens in the workstations window.
2 In the Block Name box, type a unique name for the block (the name should
relate to a function or a location that its advised item is associated with). Block
names may be up to 34 characters long. The first character must be a letter (A
to Z). The following characters may be letters (A to Z), numbers (0-9), or
hyphens (-). Lower case letters are automatically converted to upper case.
For this exercise, type the name SL1 (label for Stop Light 1).
