TrakSYS 11 Training Course Lab Manual

Configuring Assets
Overview
In this assignment, you will execute the first steps in modeling a production environment for
performance and operations management. This is done by defining 2 different Areas named
Packaging A, and Warehouse for the Orange County Vitamin plant (referred to as OCV from this
point forward). In each Area, add Systems and Sub-Systems that represent the production lines
and assets to be monitored by TrakSYS.

Estimated Time to Complete This Lab


30 Minutes

Details
The following sections describe the detailed steps to be completed for this lab.

1. Configure Production Areas


Create 2 Areas in the TrakSYS configuration. These Areas will represent the main types of
production in the OCV plant.

• Navigate to Configuration | Systems.


• Select the New Root menu option under Areas to add a new Root.
• Create 1 Root Area with the following property values…

Name Key
Warehouse WH

Create a new Child Area under Packaging Root.


• In Configuration | Systems | Area select Packaging Root Area which will reveal New
Child.
• Select New Child option and create the following Child Area with the following
properties...

Name Key
Packaging A PACK.A

2. Configure a Discrete System and Sub-Systems


Each Area will contain 1 or more production lines. These will be represented by TrakSYS
Systems. Beneath the Packaging A Area, create the Packaging Line 1 System, with 3 Sub-
Systems called Filler, Labeler and Caser.

• Navigate to Configuration | Systems.


• Select the Packaging | Packaging A.

• In slice 2, select the New menu option under Systems in slice 2 to add a new Discrete
System.
• Create the Packaging Line 1 System with the following property values…

Name Packaging Line 1


Key P1
Refresh Key (Advanced Tab) P1

• Select Packaging Line 1 from the System list in slice 2. Additional details and options for
Packaging Line 1 will be displayed in slice 3.
• Select Sub-Systems from the Related menu in slice 3. The Packaging Line 1 details will
move to slice 1 and the Sub-Systems will be listed in slice 2.
• In slice 2, select the New menu option under Sub-Systems to add a new Sub-System.
• Create 3 Sub-Systems under Packaging Line 1 with the following property values…

Name Key
Filler FLR
Labeler LBL
Caser CSR

3. Start the Logic Service


Using the built-in Administrator Pages, start the Logic Service on your training server.

• Navigate to Administration | Services | OCV [ Logic ].


• Under the Actions menu on the left column, use the Start action.
• Wait for the Service to start.

If configured properly, the Service should start after a few seconds and “Service Running” should
be shown in the top left as the page title.

4. Verify that the Logic Service has Started


Navigate back to the Logic Service’s Administration Page to monitor the real-time state of
the Logic Service. Open the Logic Service Hub and verify that it shows a Running (green) state.

• Navigate to Administration | Services | OCV [ Logic ].


• The Status and Scan tiles should both be green.

5. Lab Check
As a final check, navigate to Training | Lab Group 01 | Lab 1. This page will function as a small
Lab Check to ensure your database is properly configured. You should not see anything marked
in red on this screen. In addition, there is a small Lab Glossary available as a Hub 3 that contains
some common words and phrases from the section.

Conclusion
In this exercise, you have learned how to install and configure the TrakSYS components for use
in an implementation using the setup and the Installation Manager application. You have also
created several TrakSYS configuration entities including Areas, Systems and Sub-Systems.
Finally, you now know how to start and re-start the Logic Service. This will be required
whenever certain configuration changes are made.

It is recommended that you take moment to review the navigation through the Configuration
section of the application. Cycle between Areas to see the child Systems. Select a System and
display its Sub-Systems. Experiment with the Edit menu option on different entities to become
used to modifying and saving changes to the configuration.

Many of the following labs and real-world use of the TrakSYS software rely on and build upon
the basic skills learned in this lab.

Common Mistakes
None

Further Exploration
Below are additional topics related to the section. They are not required to be completed but
can provide additional understanding of TrakSYS’ capabilities. Unlike the core Labs, these
smaller modules will be less detailed. Please ask your trainer if you need any assistance.

Historian Configuration (Part 1 of 2) | Service and Database.


In order to utilize the TrakSYS Historian capabilities, three things need to be completed.
1) The Historian Database needs to be created.
2) The Historian Service needs to be configured.
3) A Tag History Definition needs to be configured and assigned.
This Further Exploration will complete the first two, with the last step being completed on the
next lab.

First, create the Historian Database. To do so, open the Installation Manager and navigate to
the Database tab. On the right-side menu, select the Create Historian option. Using the same
credentials and the default options, create your Historian Database.

Second, install and configure the Historian Service. In the Installation Manager, navigate to the
Services tab. Install the Historian Service if you have not done so already. Then, in the TS Web,
navigate to Configuration | Services | Historian Services. Find the premade OCV Historian
Service and set the Computer Name to your Server’s name (ie T01).

The service will NOT start properly until further configuration is completed. Do NOT try to start
the Historian Service. This is only the first part of the Historian Configuration. The rest will be
completed after the next lab.
