Section 3 Configuration Overview
Introduction
This section provides an overview of the Harmony INFI 90 configuration. It
discusses the following topics:
Configuration data access.
Object configuration.
Object management.
Object naming conventions.
The information contained in this section only pertains to the configuration data
maintained in the Configuration Server database (INFI 90 Harmony Object related
data).
Configuration Data Access

Configuration data can be accessed from any client in the system to view and
modify the data. User access rights grant or deny access to the configuration data.
All configuration data is maintained and stored centrally in the Configuration
Server. This insures that the configuration data of the system remains consistent and
is in a central location for backup and restore purposes.
Object and Configuration Management

Harmony INFI 90 provides a set of object management features for configuration
management. This includes the following:
Object Life Cycle.
Automatic version management.
Object configuration validation.
Multiple access management.
3BUA000157R4101 37
Object Life Cycle Section 3 Configuration Overview
Version notes for maintenance support.

Logging of configuration change.
Object Life Cycle

The configuration system allows making configuration changes in a way that the
changes do not immediately take effect in the system. This provides the ability to
make changes in preparation for future use. Additionally, it provides a roll-back
function that can be used to go back to a former version in case the latest changes
lead to undesired behavior.
These capabilities are provided through Life Cycle management features. Life
Cycle management allows configuration data for an object to exist in multiple
versions where each version is in a different Life Cycle. The Life Cycles are:
Design.
Release.
Running.
Out of Service.
An object in the Design or Release Life Cycle is not effective in the system. These
Life Cycles are for configuration data being prepared for later use. Objects in the
Design or Release Life Cycle are offline versions.
An object in the Running Life Cycle is currently effective in the system. Objects in
the Running Life Cycle are online versions.
An object in the Out of Service Life Cycle was in the Running Life Cycle
previously, but has been overwritten by a newer object version. The user can
manually change to the Out of Service version if desired. The Out of Service
version can be used to go back to the previous Running version of the object if the
changes cause undesirable behavior.
Life Cycle Changes

Figure 8 shows the Life Cycle progression. The solid lines in the figure show the
possible Life Cycle transitions for an object in Design to Running direction. In this
direction, there is only one version of the object. This is a move operation rather
than a copy operation. For example, when the object is changed from Design to
Running, there is not a Design version and a Running version. Instead, there is only
a Running version of the object. The dotted lines show Life Cycle changes in the
38 3BUA000157R4101
Section 3 Configuration Overview Life Cycle Changes
reverse direction. This is a copy operation. In this case, multiple versions will exist
unless they are deleted. When an object is changed from run to Design, for example,
the run version remains intact and additionally there will be a Design version
created. Both exist at the same time.
Figure 8. Life Cycle Changes
Only an object version in the Design Life Cycle can be edited. All properties of an
object in this Life Cycle can be edited. If the configuration changes are to take effect
immediately, the Life Cycle needs to be changed to Running. If the configuration
changes are to remain offline to be introduced with other changes later, the Life
Cycle should be changed to Release.
The Release Life Cycle is an optional Life Cycle. It is used to store modified
versions of several objects that will be introduced together to the running system at
a future point in time. This Life Cycle can be applied for plant convert or reequip
projects. It is not necessary to place single objects in Release before setting them to
Running.
Only the Running version of an object is executed in the system. When the object is
changed to Running, the version will be loaded and take effect in the running
system.
If an object is set to Running and there is already an older Running version, the
older version is moved to the Out of Service Life Cycle. This insures that the former
Running version is still available if it is needed.
Only Design and Out of Service Life Cycle versions of an object can be deleted.
3BUA000157R4101 39
Edit Mode Section 3 Configuration Overview
Edit Mode
An object must be locked for editing before any changes can be made. Only objects
in the Design Life Cycle can be edited. The correct access rights are required to edit
an object. The object cannot be locked by another user to edit.
To edit an object:
1. Select the TagConfig aspect.
2. Verify that the object is in the Design Life Cycle and is not locked by another
user.
3. Select the Edit Object button.
Saving Changes
After changes have been made to an object they need to be submitted to the
Connectivity Server. During the submission they are also validated according to
their Life Cycle.
To save changes to the Connectivity Server:
1. Make the desired changes to the object.
2. Change the Validation Against field if applicable and desired.
3. Click the submit changes button (). This also automatically clears the edit lock.
Canceling Changes
Click the cancel changes button () to cancel all changes made during an edit session.
This also automatically clears the edit lock.
Version Management
The highest version of an object is automatically increased by one when a new
version of the object is created. An object can have multiple versions in different
Life Cycles. For example, an INFI 90 Harmony Analog object can have instances in
Design, Release, Running, and Out of Service Life Cycles at the same time. Each
one of these versions will remain in the Configuration Server until they are deleted.
Only one version of an object can exist per Life Cycle.
40 3BUA000157R4101
Section 3 Configuration Overview Validation
Validation
When an object is stored or the Life Cycle is changed, a set of validation rules are
executed. There are both generic validation and object type specific rules. When a
validation error occurs, the action being attempted cannot be finished. An example
of a validation rule is shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Life Cycle Validation
Life Cycle Validate Against Description

Design 1 Release or Running Optional against objects in Release
or Running Life Cycle.
Release Release Objects with highest version number
at least in Release Life Cycle.
Running Running Object in Running Life Cycle.
Out of Service No validation.
NOTE: 1. Only mode in which data changes are possible.
Multiple User Access

The Configuration Server allows simultaneous access for multiple users from any
client in the system. The Configuration Server makes sure that an object can only be
edited by one user at a time. Each time an object is selected by a user for editing it
gets locked. Another user looking at the same object version will get an indication
as to which user has the object locked for editing. When the object is unlocked by
the current user, it can be accessed and locked for editing by another user.
Clicking edit in the configuration view locks the object for editing. The submit and
cancel changes actions unlock the object.
Configuration Change Logging

All configuration changes to objects are logged in the project history. Each entry
includes the name of the object that was changed and its version, Life Cycle, change
date, change time, change user, and comments. Comments can also be included in
the project history without making any configuration changes.
3BUA000157R4101 41
Version Related Notes Section 3 Configuration Overview
Version Related Notes

A version comment can be added in each Life Cycle. After the object is stored, the
comment cannot be edited any longer. Only new fields can be added. The
configuration view shows all information fields for the object. During creation of
the information field the user name, time, and Life Cycle will be copied to the
information field.
Naming Conventions and Guidelines

The following sections define naming conventions and guidelines for objects and
properties. These guidelines mainly describe character length restrictions and list
supported characters. The restrictions apply to object names and property names
only. The usable character set for other text strings does not have these restrictions.
Text Length
The lengths specified in Table 2 for the different properties are the maximum
number that can be handled by the system. This does not imply that the maximum
number of characters will always be shown in every display or application. The
character space in some applications is limited, and in some cases, field widths are
user adjustable. When a string is truncated in a display, the whole string is usually
shown in the form of a tool tip.
Table 2. Text Lengths
Maximum
Entity Descriptions
Characters
Object Name 32 Identifies the object in the system. The period (.)
separator between object name and property name
is not considered part of the name.
Property 32 Identifies a property inside of an object. When the
Name property name consists of multiple parts (signal
name/selector) separated by a slash (/), the
separator is considered part of the property name.
Description 64 A description of the purpose of the object that is
displayed in specific views such as in faceplates.
42 3BUA000157R4101
Section 3 Configuration Overview Character Sets
Character Sets
Three groups of characters for object names and property names are used.
Legal Character Set

Supported legal character sets are listed in Table 3.

Since Harmony INFI 90 is most often used with other systems, these other systems
have their own legal character set. The legal characters are actually a combination
of all the restrictions of Harmony INFI 90 and the connected system.
Illegal Character Set

Harmony INFI 90 and commonly used applications, such as SQL Server and Excel,
support the illegal character set listed in Table 4. These characters, however, must
not be used in names.

Section 4 INFI 90 Harmony Objects
Introduction
Harmony INFI 90 tag objects are configured from the TagConfig Aspect in the
Control Structure inside the Workplace. This section describes the common aspect
views of the Harmony INFI 90 objects.
TagConfig Aspect View

All TagConfig Aspect views have the same general appearance and behavior. The
aspect views are divided into three common areas:
Tabs.
Body.
Footer.
Tabs
The tabs associated with the Aspect view depend on the type of object that is
selected for Harmony. Harmony data that is common to multiple object types is
presented in the same way to help make Harmony tasks easier and to improve
efficiency. The General and Version tabs are included for every object type.
Body
The body area contains all of the configurable properties of any selected tab. The
fields are only editable in the Design Life Cycle version of an object, when the user
has Harmony access rights, and after the user has locked the object for editing.
Refer to Section 2, Harmony OPC Server for more information on security.
3BUA000157R4101 47
Footer Section 4 INFI 90 Harmony Objects
Footer
The footer area shows general object information; contains controls to change the
Life Cycle; and contains controls to edit, submit, and cancel changes (). Different
buttons are available in the footer depending on the Life Cycle of the object as
shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9. Life Cycles
Life Cycle
The Life Cycle field shows the Life Cycle of the object. This is a display only field.
Locked By
The Locked By field shows the name of the user that has locked the object for
editing. If the object is not locked this field will be blank.
Validate Against
The Validate Against shows the current method of validation. Objects in the Design
Life Cycle present user selectable validation options. Objects in the Release and
Running Life Cycles show Release and Running validation respectively.
48 3BUA000157R4101
Section 4 INFI 90 Harmony Objects Design Life Cycle Options
Life Cycle
The Life Cycle buttons change the object to a desired Life Cycle. These buttons will
be displayed or hidden based on the current Life Cycle and the user access rights.
Delete Version
Deletes this version from the Harmony Server.
Copy for Design

Copies this object and creates a new object in Design mode. The new object retains
all of the configured properties of the original except for the ID.
Submit Changes
Only visible when the object is being edited. It submits changes to the Harmony
Server.
Edit Object
Locks the object and allows editing its definitions. This button is only enabled if the
user has access rights, the object is not currently locked, and the object is in the
Design Life Cycle.
Cancel Changes
Only visible when the object is being edited. It cancels any changes without
updating the Harmony Server and unlocks the object.
Design Life Cycle Options

Three different aspect views are possible when an object is in the Design Life Cycle:
unlocked, locked by current user, and locked by other user. The object becomes
locked so only one user can edit it at a time. Clicking the edit object button ()
changes the aspect view to the locked by user view. Any other users that call up the
same object for viewing will see the locked by other user view. The following
sections provide more detailed explanations.
3BUA000157R4101 49
Design Life Cycle Options Section 4 INFI 90 Harmony Objects
Unlocked
When an object in the Design Life Cycle is first called up, it is unlocked (unless it
has already been locked by another user). Any user with access rights can edit the
object. The body of the view contains view only fields.
The Life Cycle of the object can be changed to Release, Running, or Out of Service
when unlocked. Clicking a Life Cycle change button causes the Server to attempt to
change the object to the selected Life Cycle. This involves obtaining a lock,
performing a validation, and if successful, moving the object into the new Life
Cycle.
Locked by Current User

For an object in the Design Life Cycle, the Server attempts to obtain a lock when the
edit object button is clicked. Once the lock has been obtained, the view changes to
the locked by user view, which updates the Locked By field and changes the fields
within the body of the view from view only to editable. The Life Cycle of the object
can be changed to Release, run, or Out of Service when unlocked.
Locked by Other User

For an object in the Design Life Cycle, the object is called up in the locked by other
user view when another user is currently editing the object. In this case, the Locked
By field will show the name of the user currently editing the object and the fields
within the body of the view are view only.
The locked by user is not updated automatically but only on interaction with the
Harmony Server.
Release Life Cycle

In the Release Life Cycle, the user can view the object or change its Life Cycle. The
Locked By field is not visible. The validate against field is fixed to Release.
Running Life Cycle

In this Life Cycle, the user can view the object or change its Life Cycle. The Locked
By: field is not visible. The validate against field is fixed to run.

Global Alarm Acknowledgment

The global alarm acknowledgment function allows Harmony INFI 90 to send and
receive global alarm acknowledgment messages to or from other nodes on the
control network. Refer to the following heading for more information.
Global Alarm Silence Configuration

Refer to Section 4, INFI 90 Harmony Objects for tag configuration information
when performing this section. Refer to Figure 11 for an overview of the global
alarm silence configuration.
Sending Global Alarm Silence to the RTDS

Configure a Function Block Adapt object to feed the Silence atom in Harmony
Server tag object. When a global silence is received from Navigator, a 1 to 0 pulse
will be generated from the Output of the Function Block Adapt object. This informs
the RTDS that a global alarm silence has been performed from the Navigator.

Sending Global Alarm Silence Messages to the Loop Section 5 Connectivity Server (RTDS)
TC08155A
Figure 11. Global Alarm Silence Configuration
Sending Global Alarm Silence Messages to the Loop

Upon receiving a global silence from the Navigator, the RTDS constructs a global
silence message and sends it to the specified nodes on the loop. The module status
tag must be configured to reference the remote nodes ICI for each node to which the
RTDS actually transmits the silence messages.
For each module status tag, on the Module tab, check the Enable Annunciator
Silence Transmission check box to have the RTDS transmit any global silence
messages.

Configuring Node to Send Global Silence to Navigator from RTDS

The Silence atom of the Harmony Server tag is configured to feed the Reset In atom
in the Function Block Trigger object. When a global silence message is received
from the loop, the RTDS sets the Silence atom to 1 momentarily. This resets the
OUTPUT/SIG of the Function Block Trigger object to 0 which silences the tone tag.
Global Alarm Acknowledgement Configuration

The global alarm acknowledgment function allows acknowledged alarms on one
node to automatically be seen by other nodes on the same INFI-NET loop. Alarms
acknowledged on one node can be broadcast to the other independent nodes through
the INFI-NET loop. Each node can be configured to send or receive alarm
acknowledgments. This function is available for Harmony systems only.
Sending Global Alarm Acknowledgement Messages to the Loop
Enable Tag Acknowledgment Broadcast

To broadcast an alarm acknowledgement for a specific Harmony tag:
Check the Tag Acknowledgment Broadcast Enable check box on the
Harmony Tab of the tag.

Remote Motor Control Block Text Tab

Remote Motor Control Block (RMCB) Text defines text sets that contain text
strings for remote motor control Function Blocks (FC 136). The Function Block can
report any of ten different text strings that identify its current operation. These error
codes are reported to identify the condition that caused a bad start of a device. An
RMCB tag must be configured for Harmony INFI 90 to receive an exception report.
Error codes and statuses reported include:
No error.
Stopped.
Interlock one.
Interlock two.
Interlock three.
Interlock four.
Feedback one = 0.
Feedback two = 0.
Feedback one = 1.
Feedback two = 1.
The interlock codes indicate not set or logic zero conditions for each of four
interlocks.
Each error code text set has an assigned number. Up to 100 sets can be defined
numbered zero to 99. A text set field for an RMCB tag selects which text set is to be
used for the tag. Refer to Remote Motor Control Block Text Tab on page 64 for
more information on configuring an RMCB tag. The specific text string that
displays depends on the error code returned in an exception report from the RMCB
block.

Section 6 Tags
Introduction
This section describes the configuration of Harmony tags. A tag is required to
access Harmony data and to perform control actions from a workstation. The tags
can be configured from any system node.
The system must have a Harmony RTDS installed. Once configured, Harmony tag
data can be used in Harmony INFI 90 functions such as process displays, reports,
event pages, alarming, etc.
Tag Types
Harmony INFI 90 allows online tag configuration. Tags can be added, deleted,
changed, and updated to the system according to their Life Cycle.
Online Tag Configuration

A tag represents either an Analog or Digital exception reporting block or a Station,
Device Driver, or control block in a Harmony controller. Define a tag for each
process variable that Harmony INFI 90 is to monitor and for each process device
available for control. Also, a tag can represent a system controller or
communications interface.
A tag contains all information required to find a point in the process control
configuration (function block) and to establish communication between it and
Harmony INFI 90. Not all processor function blocks can be assigned a tag.
Each tag type available in Harmony INFI 90 can provide access to one or more
function codes (FC). Table 9 lists and describes the INFI 90 Harmony tag types.

Event Point Configuration

Each tag in the Harmony INFI 90 system that generates events has configurable
event points. The event point configuration permits the assignment of priorities and
alarm texts to be associated with the event point. The event point configuration also
determines if the event is an alarm or if it needs acknowledgement. When the
complement input signal is enabled the zero state of the signal represents the active
state of the event point.
Harmony Tab
The Harmony tab is configured for every Harmony tag object (Figure 13). This tab
determines system information that identifies the tag in the Harmony system and the
actions that can be performed on the tag in the control system.

The Analog tag accesses information provided by an Analog exception report FC
(refer to Table 9). The Analog exception report FC allows an Analog value to be
sent on the communication highway if the value changes outside a configured
deadband. This function also generates an alarm if the high or low limit values are
reached. The Analog tab of the Analog tag object configures the Analog exception
report FC that is to be monitored by the Harmony RTDS (Figure 14).
To configure the Analog tab:
1. Configure the low alarm and the high alarm event points for the Analog tag.
Refer to Event Point Configuration on page 72 for more information.

Remote Manual Set Constant Tab

The Remote Manual Set Constant (RMSC) tag accesses information provided by a
RMSC FC (refer to Table 9). The RMSC FC allows the value of a constant to be
entered to the control scheme via Harmony INFI 90. When the function block
receives this command, an exception report is generated to notify the operator or
computer that the value has changed. High and low limits can be set to guard against
unreasonable values. The RMSC tab of the RMSC tag object configures the RMSC
FC that is to be monitored by the Harmony RTDS (Figure 24).

The Station tag accesses information provided by a Station FC (refer to Table 9).
There are three types of Stations, each controllable through a control station and
Harmony INFI 90. The types include basic, cascade, and ratio Stations. The Station
tab of the Station tag object configures the Station FC that is to be monitored by the
Harmony RTDS (Figure 25).
Basic
A basic Station generates a set point and provides manual/automatic transfers,
control output adjustments in manual control mode, and set point adjustments in
automatic control mode.

Cascade
A cascade Station provides the same functions as a basic Station plus an additional
mode that allows the set point to be controlled by external input signal.
Ratio
A ratio Station provides the same functions as a basic Station, but differs from the
cascade Station in its method of set point generation when in the ratio mode. A wild
variable multiplied by a ratio adjustment factor (ratio index) determines the set point
output when in ratio mode. The initial ratio index value is calculated by the Station
to maintain the current set point output value when the Station is placed into the
ratio mode. When in the ratio mode, the ratio index value is displayed in place of the
set point value and can be adjusted (ramped up or down) by the operator to obtain
the desired set point output.

portion of a tuning display (normally a PID block). A valid entry is 1 to 31,998
and is for the block address of the function block providing the Station block
input or any function block in the controller. This allows the tuning display to
be requested without any further input.
Text Selector
The Text Selector tag defines text strings that can be associated with status reported
for DD, MSDD, and RMCB tags. These text strings can describe the good, bad, and
waiting condition being reported by a Device Driver or MSDD function block and
the good, alarm, and waiting condition being reported by a remote motor control
function block. The conditions are exception reported by a PCU module.
In the module, a Text Selector function block (FC 151) must be defined in the
control configuration to reference a DD, MSDD, and RMCB function block. The
Text Selector function block can also be configured as a standalone Text Selector.
Each Text Selector message defined in the Configuration Server has a message
number. The Text Selector function block in the controller selects one of these
messages by its number. The function block exception reports a message number
and also a color and blink parameter. A Text Selector tag must be configured in
Harmony INFI 90 to receive this information.
The configuration view of the Text Selector tag is shown in Figure 26. To configure
a Text Selector tag, configure the Harmony tab to monitor the desired Text Selector
function block (FC 151) in the Harmony control system configuration.

Section 7 Tag Importer
Introduction
The Tag Importer utility imports Harmony configuration data from offline
configuration tools such as Composer, WinTools (WLDG), and SLDG. This section
describes the Tag Importer operation.
Configuration Data
Configuration data includes ASCII text strings, alarm comments, engineering unit
descriptors, logic state descriptors, RMCB error code text sets, text selections, and
tag definitions. The tag definitions can be in one of the following formats:
Composer (Microsoft Access MDB format).
Conductor NT 2.1.
SLDG BCS S.1.
.X1.
Files with a .cp extension must be assumed to use run length compression (SLDG
standard) during the import process.
The configuration importer utility requires the use of a temporary working directory
to perform file modifications (file decompression, record delimiter insertion, etc.).
Normally these variables are defined by Windows 2000 to specify a directory at the
system root called \temp. However, these variables can be configured otherwise.
The replication of configuration changes is disabled during the import operation. It
is enabled at the end of a successful import. If an import operation stops before
being completed, enable Synchronize data after each object update (on the
management tab of the system definition object properties) before trying to import
the tag data again.

implemented to be Release or Running objects, and are currently being configured.
If multiple Life Cycles are selected, the exporter will choose Release over Design
and Running over Release and/or Design.
Columns To Export
In some cases, changes in data are only made to specific columns. Rather than
export all columns, this step allows those specific columns to be selected for export.
The list begins with the known columns found in the tag list table. All data fields
will be highlighted. If a column is not highlighted, the column is removed from the
tag list table before exporting begins.
As a minimum, the OBJECTID, NAME, and TYPEID columns must be exported
from Composer for Harmony INFI 90 to import Composer tag data. When
importing new tags that will have a Life Cycle of Running, the LOOP, NODE,
MODULE, and BLOCK columns must also have been exported. To update only one
column of data, that column and the three minimum columns must have exported
from Composer.
This step adds any properties for each tag type being exported that is not already
covered by the known, fixed columns supported by Composer. These are not
highlighted. Any column that is highlighted is added as a column to the tag list table
before the export process begins (Figure 32). Select the appropriate data fields to be

Section 9 SOE Reporting
Introduction
This section describes the operation and configuration of Sequence of Events (SOE)
Reports. The hardware and software configurations for both distributed SOE
Reports and Rochester SOE Reports are explained.
Description
Harmony INFI 90 SOE reporting is intended for use by plant personnel to closely
monitor critical Digital points where the sequence of state changes for points or
groups of points must be known in the most exacting ways possible. SOE reporting
lists all Digital state transitions in time order and with one millisecond resolution.
The SOE log data can originate in an ABB Distributed SOE system (DSOE) or in a
Rochester Instrument Systems SOE Recorder (Rochester SER).
The SOE reporting system can interface with a SOE (IMSEM01) module containing
fixed blocks 5000 and 5001 or with a Harmony bridge controller (BRC-100 or
BRC-200) or a multifunction processor (MFP) containing FC 99 (sequence of
events log) blocks.
In both cases, SOE trigger tags can be configured for the blocks to monitor SOE
trigger points in the control system. The SOE reporting system then collects SOE
Reports whenever the trigger points indicate the presence of SOE data.
Specific Features
The following are features of SOE reporting on Harmony INFI 90:
One millisecond resolution on change of state timestamps.
3BUA000157R4101 107
Specific Features Section 9 SOE Reporting
Each controller/SER recorder pair in a Rochester SOE architecture can have

multiple FC 99 SOE Report types.
Build SOE Reports from the data that it has gathered through communications
with semAPI, using preconfigured report formats.
Five types of SOE Reports/triggering:
Standard
In a standard log, any SOE point state change will result in a timestamped SOE
Report for this point. This SOE log will be stored in the controller (FC 99) or in the
IMSEM01 module (DSOE) for the length of time specified within the
corresponding block (the aging time). This log must be read in by the SOE reporting
system before the aging time expires.
Summary
A summary log contains a report of all timestamped SER points which are not in
normal state (inactive, deleted from scan, or in SOE alarm). This report can be
demanded by changing the RCM block output of the corresponding IMSEM01
block 5001 or FC 99 in the controller (the summary trigger point) from zero to one.
Pre-fault
SER point state changes are stored by a designated quantity or time period (50
events prior to trigger; 10 minutes prior to trigger). They are then reported, in
ascending time order, when the pre-fault trigger is changed from zero to one by the
operator (Rochester SOE reporting only).
Post-fault
SER point state changes are reported only after the post-fault trigger is changed
from zero to one by the user. The points will continue to be reported until the
postfault trigger reverts back to zero. The SOE system must remove these reports
from the SOE or DSOE system before its aging time expires (Rochester SOE
reporting only).
108 3BUA000157R4101
Section 9 SOE Reporting Trigger Tag Monitoring
Snapshot
Snapshot reports will have points listed in ascending numerical order, but only after
the snapshot trigger is changed from zero to one by the user. Snapshot points can be
designated in groups such as those which are normal, those which are deleted from
scan, etc. (Rochester SOE reporting only).
1. DSOE reporting supports only two SOE log types, standard (through
IMSEM01 block 5000) and summary (through IMSEM01 block 5001).
2. Snapshot reports are not available on all Rochester SOE reporters. Consult the
documentation of the Rochester SER hardware in this case.
3. If SOE reporting is running on a pair of Connectivity servers, SOE Reports
will be identically collected on both Servers. Refer to SOE Reporting and
Redundancy on page 110 for more information.
Trigger Tag Monitoring

Trigger points enable SOE Masters (SEM) and multifunction processors (MFP) to
notify the SOE system that SOE data is available for collection.
For each active SOE log report, the collection of SOE data is governed by using the
SOE Report tag to monitor the trigger output values of blocks 5000 and 5001 of a
SEM module in a DSOE system, or a FC 99 block in an MFP module for a
Rochester SOE system.
The SOE data collection by the Harmony RTDS system is started automatically
when or shortly after the trigger tag goes into a trigger state. When an SOE Report is
triggered, SOE events are read in from the SOE function block. When an SOE log is
completed, it will be stored in an internal queue and the REPORTREAD property is
set to one to trigger the report system. Upon resetting of the REPORTREAD
property to zero or the time duration exceeding the defined cache time, the report
will be removed from the head of the queue.
SOE Reports Collection

When REPORTREAD property is triggered for a configured SOE Report object, the
report formats the SOE event log data into a predefined SOE Report, and resets the
3BUA000157R4101 109
SOE Reporting and Redundancy Section 9 SOE Reporting
REPORTREAD property to zero. The report system makes the SOE data available
for the user to view.
SOE Reporting and Redundancy

The SOE redundancy is handled by the redundant configuration of the RTDS that
hosts the SOE Report objects.
Distributed SOE Architecture

The INSEM01 module is the center of the DSOE module architecture (Figure 33). If
Harmony INFI 90 is using DSOE reporting, it must interface to this module through
fixed blocks 5000 and 5001. Block 5000 is a standard SOE trigger, which sends
standard SOE data from the DSOE system to the Harmony INFI 90 Server. Block
5001 is the summary SOE trigger, which sends summary SOE data.
For more information on how to set up DSOE hardware, consult the Distributed
Sequence of Events instruction.
Rochester SOE Architecture

Harmony INFI 90 interfaces to a controller which uses FC 99 to communicate with
one Rochester SER communication interface unit. This Rochester communication
interface unit then passes SOE data it has collected from one or more event capture
units to the controller, where they are passed to Harmony INFI 90. Figure 34
outlines the Rochester SOE hardware architecture.
Distributed SOE Reporting Hardware

The following hardware must be used within the Harmony system to connect the
distributed SOE system and the Harmony INFI 90 Server.
One or more multifunction processors (firmware revision F.0 or later) or BRC-
100/BRC-200 modules are needed for use as a controller for the SET/SED
module pair.
One or more INSOE01 SOE Server nodes.

interface). However, the Digital outputs provided by FC 242 must point to Digital
exception reports (FC 45) in order to be accessible to the rest of the control
system and to Harmony INFI 90.
2. For more information on how to connect a distributed SOE system refer to the
Distributed Sequence of Events instruction.
3. In order for the distributed SOE system to function properly, the function
blocks in both the SOE module, as well as the module which serves as the
SET/SED controller must be properly configured with SOE FCs. For more
information concerning these particular FCs, refer to the Function Code
Application Manual.
Rochester SOE Reporting Hardware

The following hardware must be used within the Harmony system to connect the
Rochester SOE system and the Harmony INFI 90 Server:
A Rochester reporter consisting of one (or more) Rochester event capture units
(ECU) and an Rochester SOE communication interface unit with one fiber
optic communications board per event capture unit. The communication
interface unit also needs a special ABB communications board, manufactured
by Rochester Instrument Systems.
One or more multifunction processors (firmware revision F.0 or later) or BRC-
100/BRC-200 modules to contain FC 99 for the Rochester reporter.
Access to at least one network printer for sending SOE Reports to.
CRT terminal (VT100, WYSE50 or terminal emulation program/window) is
needed for issuing ISM-1 commands to the Rochester communication interface
unit if configuration of the Rochester SER system is required.
3BUA000157R4101 113
External Interfaces and Function Blocks Section 9 SOE Reporting
Required termination units and cables to connect each of the modules. Refer to
the product instructions for wiring diagrams.
The points collected by the Rochester system are only available to the system in
the form of SOE Reports. If these points are needed in the process control system
as Digital points, then these points must be physically wired into Digital input
modules as well as the Rochester reporter. Include these points in calculations
when determining the number of I/O modules required.
External Interfaces and Function Blocks

The SOE reporting system requires the following interfaces:
Each SOE log trigger tag must be specified as an SOE Report tag within the
Harmony INFI 90 tag database, with its loop, node, module and block being
the same as that of the corresponding fixed output blocks 5000 and 5001 within
the SEM module or the corresponding FC 99 output block within a controller.
SEM fixed output blocks 5000 and 5001 interface with the distributed SOE
system to input millisecond timestamp distributed SOE events. Block 5000 is
used for collecting standard SOE events. Block 5001 is used for collecting
summary SOE events upon command by using a point display or an SOE
Report faceplate to set this SOE Report tag to one. These SEM blocks are not
configurable.
A Rochester SOE system requires that each controller have at least one FC 99
trigger block to accept SOE Reports from the Rochester equipment or Digital
input modules.
FC 99 uses communications protocol necessary to interface with a special ABB
communications board (manufactured by Rochester Instrument Systems)
within the Rochester communication interface unit. This protocol is built into
the firmware of the controller itself.
Digital tags must be configured in the tag database for all input field points
used by the SOE system.
114 3BUA000157R4101
Section 9 SOE Reporting SOE Objects
SOE Objects
The SOE Reports are configured with SOE recorder and SOE Report objects.
Digital points are assigned to the SOE recorders. The recorders are then assigned to
the SOE Report objects.
The SOE Report object is configured for each SOE Report that is to be done by
Harmony INFI 90. An SOE Report tag is used for triggering SOE Reports. Each
SOE Report object has an SOE recorder associated to it.
The report object is triggered by the REPORTREAD property. The Harmony INFI
90 report system will create the report from the data collected from the RTDS.
SOE Recorder Tab

The SOE recorder tab of the SOE recorder object defines the field point
configuration of the SOE device (Figure 35). One SOE recorder is related to each
SOE Report object. The recorder contains all the Digital points that are assigned to
the SOE device. The following paragraphs describe the fields in the SOE recorder
view and the configuration of SOE recorders.

Digital Tags
Displays the Digital tag associated with the SER point number if there is one
assigned to the number selected. Clicking the ellipsis () opens a list of Digital tags
available on the RTDS.
SOE Recorder Number

A unique number that is assigned to each SOE recorder.
Tag Name
The name of the tag that corresponds to the point number in the SOE input device.
For example, a physical point hard wired into the SOE device as input point one has
the name of the Digital tag for the corresponding Digital exception report (FC 45)
configured in the list in slot one.
SER Point Number

The point number in the corresponding SOE input device. For example, if a physical
point hard wired into the SOE device as input point one corresponds to that Digital
tag specified in the tag name, then it would be assigned SER point index one.
SOE Digital Point Associations

To associate an SOE Digital point:
1. Select a tag name from the points associated list, or create a new point number
by clicking the add icon.
2. For a new point select the point number from the list.
3. Click () and select a tag from the list to associate to the new point, or select a
tag to replace the existing tag. The tag association can be removed from a point
number by selecting blank from the list.
A tag name and point number can be deleted from the list by selecting the tag name
and clicking delete. The deleted number can be replaced by entering the number in
the SER point number field and then associating a tag to it.

SOE Report Tab Section 9 SOE Reporting
Report Type
This is the SOE Report type. There are five available report types. They are
described in Specific Features on page 107 in this section.
Wait Time
The wait time applies only to SOE Reports of type standard and post-fault. This is
the time difference between when the state of the trigger tag changes from zero to
one (when the SOE system in the control system begins filling its internal buffer
with new SOE Reports) and when the SOE reporting system begins collecting these
reports from the control system.
The wait time must be much less than the aging time configured in the SOE
system in the control system for this trigger point. Otherwise, valuable SOE data
may be aged out of the internal buffer of the SOE system and be lost before it is
collected by Harmony INFI 90.
Active
The Active check box indicates whether an SOE Report is active and being
monitored and collected by the SOE system, or if the report is inactive.
To configure the SOE Report object:
1. Configure the output state and the state change event points. Refer to Section 6,
Tags for more information.
2. Set the normal and the active signal text for the first feedback state by clicking
input signal.
4. Select an SOE recorder to use for the report. Click the ellipsis () and select
one from the list.
5. Set the report type.
6. Click on the Active box to toggle this report from inactive to active, or from
active to inactive.
7. Set a wait time. The default is 30 seconds.
118 3BUA000157R4101
Section 9 SOE Reporting SOE Reports
8. Set the cache time to that of the cache time defined in the module. The cache
time is the time the SOE information is retained in the cache. All data will be
deleted once the cache time has expired.
SOE Reports
Reports are defined in the Scheduling Structure. There should be one Job
Description for each SOEReport object in the system. First, a job object must be
created to set up and configure an SOE report. This object is created in the
Scheduling Structure, under Schedules and Jobs > Job Descriptions (see
Figure 37, Configuration of SOE Report Job). This contains the Scheduling
Definition aspect.
The Scheduling Definition needs to be configured as an Expression Schedule. The
report can then be triggered by the value of an object property. For SOE reports, this
is the REPORTREAD property of an SOEReport object.
Procedure
1. Select the Scheduling Definition aspect.
2. Then, select the Schedule field and select Expression Schedule from the drop
down list.
3. Enter the expression that is the path to the appropriate SOEReport object
REPORTREAD property to initiate the report.
4. Select Start when TRUE from the Scheduling Mode to initiate the report only
when the expression evaluates to TRUE, Figure 38.
5. Assign the Service Group to an appropriate group selected from the drop
down list. Reports may be run on a specific node according to your particular
system configuration.
3BUA000157R4101 119
Procedure Section 9 SOE Reporting
The Enabled field must be set in order for reports to be triggered. Reports can also
be triggered manually using the Run Now button, but will only be valid if SOE data
is available as indicated in the SOEReport object faceplate.

Section 9 SOE Reporting Procedure
The Report Action aspect must also be configured to define the input object for the
report and how the report will be retained and optionally printed or archived using
the 800xA Information Manager.
For long-term archival of completed reports, the system must include the 800xA
Information Manager that is configured to archive report data. The 800xA
Information Manager Configuration guide - Section 8 Historizing Reports defines
how this is configured.
Before reports can be historized, you must configure a Report Log using an
appropriate log access name for each report type. The report log access name will
then be used to identify the log to send archived reports to.
6. Select the Action Aspect (Figure 39) to configure the report action parameters.
Select Report Action from the Action drop down list. If desired, a timeout
value may be specified, but in most situations the default values for the Time
Limit, Isolated, Priority, Attempts and System Messages should be used.

your system.
10. Reports are saved on the local system by exporting. Select the Export Paths
option.
11. Then select Add Object Path to save the reports in the Aspect system. These
will be retained under Reports> folder Name (in this example, SoeReport
Folder). These may then be later reviewed and/or printed by any clients on the
system that have Microsoft Excel installed locally (see Figure 8 and Figure 9).
12. If required, output reports can also be saved to a local file folder. Select Add
File Path to configure the output folder and file name.
The print area is predefined in the Excel spreadsheet. This can be modified and
saved in the template if required. This definition is used when the printer option is
selected and configured in the Action Aspect, Figure 40.

Configuring the Rochester SER

A Rochester SOE architecture may require custom configuration to suit specific
needs. Configure Rochester reporters using Rochester ISM-1 commands. These are
outlined in the Rochester Integrated System Monitor instruction. To use ISM-1
commands, a CRT terminal (VT100 or WYSE50) is required. Complete installation
instructions of the ISM-1 system are provided in the Rochester Installation
instruction.
3BUA000157R4101 123
Rochester ISM-1 Commands to Configure Pre-fault SOE Reports Section 9 SOE Reporting
SOE Reports of report type pre-fault and post-fault, which are available only with
FC 99, require that the Rochester communication interface unit be specially
configured, to enable it to send pre-fault and post-fault SOE events to Harmony
INFI 90. Each of these report types need a Boolean trigger equation to determine if
and when pre-fault or post-fault trigger situations exist. Also, Rochester SER
Digital points must be specifically designated as pre-fault points and post-fault
points in order to show up in SOE Reports of these particular types.
Rochester ISM-1 Commands to Configure Pre-fault SOE Reports

For pre-fault SOE Reports, use the ISM-1 command pretrig to configure the pre-
trigger equation. For example, the pre-trigger can be tripped by Rochester point five
going into alarm (a zero to one logic state transition) simply by entering:
pretrig 5
Then, to designate Rochester SER Digital points to be pre-fault points, use the ISM-
1 command:
prepoints s <pointnumbers>
For example, to pre-fault designate Rochester SER Digital points 21 to 30 inclusive,
plus 48, enter:
prepoints s 21-30 48
The Rochester SER is now ready to report pre-fault reports. In this example, points
21 through 30, plus point 48, are the only Digital points that would show up in the
SER pre-fault SOE Reports.
To remove the pre-fault designation on points 16 through 20, enter:
prepoints r 16-20
Rochester ISM-1 Commands to Configure Post-Fault SOE Reports

For post-fault SOE Reports, use the ISM-1 command posttrig to configure the
post-trigger equation. For example, the post-trigger can be tripped by Rochester
point three going into alarm (zero to one logic state transition) simply by entering:
posttrig 3
124 3BUA000157R4101
Section 9 SOE Reporting Other Rochester ISM-1 Commands
Then, to designate Rochester SER Digital points to be post-fault points, use the
ISM-1 command:
postpoints s <pointnumbers>
For example, to post-fault designate Rochester SER Digital points one to 10
inclusive, plus 16, enter:
postpoints s 1-10 16
The Rochester SER is now ready to report post-fault reports. In this example, points
one through 10, plus point 16 are the only Digital points that would show up in the
SER post-fault SOE Reports.
To remove the pre-fault designation on points six through ten, enter:
postpoints r 6-10
Other Rochester ISM-1 Commands

Examples of other useful ISM-1 commands which would be helpful in monitoring
and troubleshooting Rochester SER are:
csum

Section 10 System Definition
Introduction
This section describes system definition features defined in the system definition
object.
System Definition Object

Configuration data that affects the entire system is maintained in the System
Definition Object. The system definition object defines the following for the entire
system:
System protocol.
System text.
Quality indicators.
Project history.
The system definition object is not subject to Life Cycle management. All
changes to information in this object are directed to the runtime system.
Only one system definition object can be configured in the project. Table 11
describes the system definition object properties.
Table 11. System Definition Object Properties
Common Has the same common object properties (General and
Version) as other objects.

Configurable Text
Some system text is maintained in the system definition object. This text is used in
the configuration of other objects. The objects refer to this text in their definitions.
The advantage of maintaining them centrally is that if changes are required they can
be done and will be applied to all referring objects. Also, translation to other
languages can be done in one place instead of in every object in the project.
Configurable Text includes Indexed Text and Substitutable Text. These text items
appear in displays as informative text, engineering units, logic state descriptors, and
error indications. System text configuration is performed in two different tabs of the
system definition object:
Indexed text.
Substitutable text.
Indexed Text Tab

There are several types of Indexed Text. Objects refer to this text using index
numbers. The Indexed Text tab of the system definition object allows selecting each
type for definition (Figure 42). The Indexed Text includes:
Event comment.
Alarm priority text.
Engineering unit descriptor.
Logic state descriptor.
Text Selector text.
Harmony PhaseX Fault Code.

Section 10 System Definition Indexed Text Tab
TC04818A
Figure 42. Indexed Text Tab
Besides the various types of Indexed Text, the text list is also organized according to
Server type. Objects in a certain Server can only refer to text specific to its Server
type and also the Common Server type.
Each text type selection calls up a different table with an Index, Subsystem, and
Text column. Beside the selection box is a set of buttons to scroll through the table.
Click the outer buttons to scroll to the beginning or end of the table. The other
buttons scroll through each table entry. The text field (1 of 20) beside these controls
shows the record number that currently has cursor focus and the total number of
records in the table.
The fields at the bottom of the window are available for all of the text types. This
area is used to edit and add user defined text. Only text indexes that are not locked
can be edited. To add a text index:
1. Click on the Add Text button. An empty text index is added at the bottom of
the table.
2. Enter the index number in the provided field.
This index number must be unique to the selected Server type.
3BUA000157R4101 129
Indexed Text Tab Section 10 System Definition
3. Select a Server type. The selection of a Server type assigns the index to that
Server type. This allows multiple text entries for the same index for each type
of Server. Selecting Common makes it available to all Server types.
4. Enter the text that is to be associated with the index number.
5. Click the Submit Changes button to save the information to the Configuration
Server.
Event Comment
An event comment is associated with an event point. An event comment can be
assigned to every event point of a tag. Each tag type has different possible event
points depending on the tag type.
All event comments have an assigned index number. The index number allows using
a single comment with several event points. In this way, a comment does not have to
be redefined for each tag. Enter an event comment index number for each alarm
condition of a tag during its configuration to associate a comment with a condition.
To successfully import a database into Composer, be sure to modify any negative
comment indices assigned by Harmony INFI 90. Composer does not support
comment indices less than zero.
Alarm Priority Text

An alarm priority can be represented by text. There are 17 alarm priorities. Each
priority can be assigned different priority text including both active and normal state
events. The alarm priorities are shown in Table 12.
Only the default alarm priorities are available. No others can be added.

Engineering Unit Descriptor

Engineering unit descriptors (EUD) relate to Analog signals in the control system.
They describe the unit of measurement (DEG F, GPM, AMPS, LB/HR) for the
Analog signal.
A list of common engineering units is provided. Theoretically, an unlimited number
of engineering unit descriptors can be defined in the database; although, zero
through 15 are fixed. Table 13 lists the fixed engineering unit descriptors and their
index numbers.
For Harmony control systems, the actual reporting of engineering unit descriptors is
done by the controller. The controller sends an EUD index number along with the
process value to identify the unit associated with the value. This index number is
then cross referenced with the database list of descriptors. Since the controller
reports the EUD index number, all devices on a common communication network
should use the same EUD list.
PhaseX Fault Code

This is an error code returned by the PhaseX FC. It describes what went wrong with
a particular phase.

Logic State Descriptor

Logic state descriptors (LSD) describe logic states for Digital signals. These
descriptors show the current logic state (on or off, zero or one, run or stop, or closed
or open) of a device. A descriptor follows a tag throughout all Harmony INFI 90
functions after being defined for a tag.
A list of common logic state descriptors is provided. Theoretically, an unlimited
number of logic state descriptors can be defined in the database; although, zero
through 15 are fixed. Table 14 lists the fixed logic state descriptors and their index
numbers.
Text Selector Text

Each text message has a unique index number assigned to it. The message can be a
maximum of 80 characters long. Although there are no predefined messages,
message 0 is always blank to allow displays to show no message.

Section 11 Alarm and Event System
Introduction
The Harmony INFI 90 event system is based on a Client/Server architecture. The
Harmony INFI 90 system provides services to define event conditions and client
applications. The system provides facilities to distribute the events to interested
clients.
This section provides an overview of the alarm and event system. It describes the
system structure and also the configuration of event client applications.
System Overview
Events are generated by Servers in the system. Event concentrators collect the
events from the Servers and distribute them between the different nodes and make
the event stream accessible for client applications. All client applications can be
configured to be sensitive to a group of events defined by an event filter and applied
to the event stream in the system. Figure 46 is a functional diagram of the Harmony
INFI 90 event system.
The design and implementation of the alarm and event system is closely related to
the OPC definitions for alarms and events. For a clearer understanding, this
instruction refers to the OPC terms where appropriate indicating similarities and
potential differences.
Alarms and Events

An event is the notification of some occurrence that is considered significant. The
event can either be related to a specific condition represented by an event point (the
transition into high alarm of a tag and the respective return to normal) or non
condition related events (an operator action). An event itself has no state and only
3BUA000157R4101 137
Event Point Section 11 Alarm and Event System
Figure 46. Harmony INFI 90 Event System
indicates states or state changes. An event client can subscribe for notifications of
specified events.
An alarm is considered an event that indicates an abnormal condition. It is a
specially classified event. The classification is made through an attribute in the event
structure and supports filtering.
Event Point
An event point represents a defined condition in the system. The event point
generates events at the occurrence of a state change of the defined condition. It
maintains its current state in terms of active or inactive, acknowledged or
unacknowledged, inhibited or uninhibited, and enabled or disabled.
Usually an event point exists as part of a tag in a RTDS. The system also provides
the option to maintain transient event points for non tag related events.
Since the event point maintains the various states of a condition, only events
generated by an event point (as opposed to non event point related events) can be
inhibited or disabled.
138 3BUA000157R4101
Section 11 Alarm and Event System Event Distribution System
The similar entity in the OPC definition is a condition. Consider the event point
implementation of Harmony INFI 90 similar to the implementation of the abstract
OPC condition model.
Event Distribution System

The event distribution system is responsible for collecting the event streams from all
Servers in order to generate an overall event stream. They allow client applications
to access all events in the system, even though a client application can only
subscribe to a subset of the events defined by a filter. This subset is usually
functionally oriented (all events of priority one or all system events) rather than
Server oriented.
The event subsystem makes sure that the various Servers comprising the system are
transparent to the client applications. The user can focus on functional aspects rather
than knowing how tags are distributed within the system.
Event Concentrators
In order to minimize system and network load, event concentrators work in a
hierarchical order. Two categories of event concentrators are supported:
Local event concentrators.
Client event concentrators.
Event concentrators subscribe to the event stream of other Servers and provide
interfaces for clients to subscribe to the resulting event stream. The OPC definition
calls all of them alarm/event management systems or alarm/event management
Servers. The flow of events through the event concentrators is shown in Figure 47.
Local Event Concentrator

Local event concentrators subscribe to the event streams of all Servers running on
the same system node (computer). A local event concentrator needs to be configured
for all nodes in the system that host RTDSs like the Harmony Servers. If not, events
generated from the respective Servers will not be accessible for clients.
Redundancy is handled automatically by the event concentrators; no special
configuration is required.
3BUA000157R4101 139
Event Classifications Section 11 Alarm and Event System
Figure 47. Event Concentrators
Client Event Concentrator

Client event concentrators subscribe to the event streams of all local event
concentrators in the system that belong to the same Harmony INFI 90 domain as
they do. A client event concentrator combines the event stream of all local event
concentrators into a complete event stream of the system.
Event Classifications
Events are separated into two classifications:
Alarm.
Status.
Typically alarm events are events that require action to resolve the reason for their
generation. An example of an alarm event is a boiler temperature exceeding a limit.
Status events do not require action to resolve the reason of their generation. An
example of a status event is a motors state changing from on to off. The event is
identified as an alarm or a status in the event point configuration.

Section 11 Alarm and Event System Event Categories
Event Categories
Event categories can be used to condense the event state of a tag. Multiple event
points in a tag can belong to the same event category. Event client applications
(event pages and alarm bars) can interpret the event categories and only present the
most important events to an operator instead of all events. This lowers the event
noise to the operator. Some example categories are:
Boolean.
Limit.
Deviation.
Rate.
Event Point Definition

In Harmony INFI 90 an event point represents a single condition, like the high alarm
or high-high alarm of a process tag. Multiple event points of one event source can be
closely related. In this case the event points belong to the same event category. This
gives client applications the option to detect related events and display them
accordingly.
The definition of event points is part of the definition of the respective tag.
Event Point Attributes

An event point in Harmony INFI 90 is a specialization of PSigBool. It has all the
attributes defined for a Boolean signal. The various attributes can be configuration
defined, accessible as properties, and updated in accordance with the state of the
condition itself. Table 15 and Table 16 identify the different attributes of an event
point and provide descriptions. The configuration column (Config) identifies if the
attribute is defined through configuration. The Property column identifies if the
attribute is accessible as an property in case the event point exists as part of a tag
instance.
Certain attributes of an event point can be configured if the event point is defined as
part of a tag. Two classes of attributes can be distinguished:
Behavioral.
Informational.

Event Point Definition Section 11 Alarm and Event System
Table 15. Event Point Identification
Attribute Description Config Property

Source Name of the source of the event point. Every event Yes Yes2
point instance is related to one source. For an event
point defined as part of a tag the source is the tag
name.
EventPointName Identifies the event point inside the source. The event Class1 No
point name is defined in the class of the tag as the
signal name and is not configurable. The signal name
in combination with the sender name uniquely identifies
the event point: <Source>.<SignalName>.
NOTES:
1. The configuration is inherited from the class of the object.
2. Only if the event point is defined as part of the tag.
Table 16. Event Point State

SIG Represents the current state of the event point. The SIG No Yes
property is updated even though the event point is not
enabled.
PRI Current priority of the event point. No Yes
AREF Associated value. Returns the current value of the property Class1 Yes
which is associated to the event point (PV for a high alarm).
UNACKEP Event point is currently unacknowledged. An event point is Yes Yes
set to unacknowledged when it goes into active state and is
configured to require acknowledge.
SUP Event generation is currently suppressed by configured No Yes
condition in the system.
COM Current event comment. Returns the event comment COM0 No Yes
or COM1 dependent on the active state of the event point.
ALARM Event point is in alarm: ALARM = ACT AND ALMEN. No Yes

UNACK Current state of the event point represents an No Yes
unacknowledged alarm: UNACK = UNACKEP AND ALMEN.
NOTE: The configuration is inherited from the class of the object.
Behavioral Attributes
Behavioral attributes impact the behavior of the event point in terms of its state
machine and actions processed upon state change. The behavioral attributes are
shown in Table 17.
Table 17. Behavioral Attributes

ACKR Event point requires an acknowledge and will be included Yes Yes
in the event page. Only events that have ACKR enabled
will be represented in the event status page and event bar.
EN Event point is enabled. If the event point is enabled it will Yes Yes
generate events according to state changes of the event
point. (An event point can be enabled by configuration
action and operator action).
DUAL Event point generates events on transition into active and Yes Yes
inactive state. A non dual event point will only generate an
event upon transition into active state.
COMP Not implemented
3BUA000157R4101 143
Informational Attributes
Informational attributes do not impact the behavior of the event point. They serve to
qualify events generated by the event point to be interpreted by client applications.
The informational attributes are shown in Table 18.
The list in Table 18 represents a complete set of possible configuration attributes.
The actual attributes are dependent on the implementation of the tag type, some
of them are defined by default.
Event points that are not part of a tag are defined by the application generating the
associated events. The configuration of such event points is up to the application
itself.
Table 18. Informational Attributes

1
DESC Description of the event point. If no description is configured Yes Yes
for the specific event point the description of the tag will be
used instead.
EPSCAT Category the event point belongs to. Defining event No Yes
categories supports identification of closely related event
points of one source. Event points with the same event
category will be considered by a client application as closely
related.
SIG0 Defines the logic state descriptor for the zero state of the Yes Yes
event point. Usually this attribute is defined through
configuration.
SIG1 Defines the logic state descriptor for the one state of the event Yes Yes
point. Usually this attribute is defined through configuration.
PRI0 Priority defined for the inactive state of the event point. Yes Yes
PRI1 Priority defined for the active state of the event point. Yes Yes
COM0 Event comment for inactive event point. Yes Yes
COM1 Event comment for active event point. Yes Yes

Table 18. Informational Attributes (Continued)

ALMEN Event point represents an alarm (abnormal condition). Yes Yes
NOTES:
1. Only if the event point is defined as part of the tag.
Event Point State Attributes

Event points have several boolean state attributes. They are:
Acknowledged.
Active.
Enabled.
Suppressed.
Inhibited.
Acknowledged
An event acknowledgment generates an acknowledge event notification. This
notification contains the event point description, the current event point state, and
the ID of the operator who made the acknowledgment. Figure 48 describes the event
point acknowledgement flow. Harmony INFI 90 supports three different methods
for acknowledging an event:
Tag Acknowledgment.
Event Point Acknowledgment.
Tag Acknowledgment
All event points existing in the tag instance get acknowledged.
Event Point Acknowledgment
Acknowledge is issued for an individual event point. The current state of the event
point is acknowledged.
Active
An active event is an event point that is in the condition that defines the event.
Events become inactive after the condition that caused the event subsides or returns
to normal.
3BUA000157R4101 145
Figure 48. Event Point Acknowledgment Flow
Enabled
Event points can be enabled and disabled. The enable attribute can be configured
with a default value. The event point can be enabled and disabled by a client
application. A disabled event point will not generate any events.
Suppressed
An event point can be suppressed by defined logic. An event point, which is
currently suppressed, will not generate any events. Harmony INFI 90 tags
generically support suppressing of event points on tag level. That means all event
points of the tag will be suppressed, although certain tag types can support
suppressing individual event points as a reaction to other conditions.
Inhibited
An event point can be inhibited by a defined logic. An event point which is currently
inhibited will generate events according to its respective event point state changes.
These events will be marked as inhibited, giving a client application the option to
filter the events.
Harmony INFI 90 tags generically support inhibiting of event points on a tag level.
That means all event points of the tag will be inhibited, although certain tag types
can support inhibiting individual event points as a reaction to other conditions.
146 3BUA000157R4101
Dual Event Point Behavior

Most of the event points have dual behavior. Dual events generate event
notifications for active to inactive and inactive to active state transitions. Refer to
Figure 48.
Non Dual Event Point Behavior

Non dual event points have slightly different behavior. Non dual event points only
generate event notifications for inactive to active transitions. They automatically go
inactive when they receive a valid acknowledgment.

Section 12 Configuration Tools
Introduction
This section explains bulk configuration using the bulk configuration manager and
Microsoft Excel, and explains operation of the export/import configuration tool.
Bulk Configuration Manager

The bulk configuration manager allows querying the Configuration Server for
summaries of configuration information that reside in Excel spreadsheets. This
information can be saved and modified either online or offline. The features of
Excel can be used to make many changes to the data. For example, move all the tags
configured in one module to another. When online, these changes can then be
submitted back to the Harmony INFI 90 configuration.
Figure 49 shows the interaction of the bulk configuration manager with the
Harmony INFI 90 configuration. Data is read into the spreadsheet by querying
through the Harmony INFI 90 business components. This data can be saved for
working offline. Excel can then be used to make bulk changes to the data. When
online, the changed data can be submitted through the business components to the
configuration database.
When using the configuration tools (Bulk Configuration Manager, Import/Export
Wizard) to make system changes, the system performance will be affected until
all the changes have been processed.
3BUA000157R4101 149
Accessing Section 12 Configuration Tools
Figure 49. Configuration Manager Interaction
The bulk configuration manager is an Excel spreadsheet template. A new document

must first be created using this document template to perform bulk configuration.
This document can be renamed and saved for offline purposes.
The bulk configuration manager only works on a computer where the Harmony
INFI 90 Server software has been installed.
Accessing
To access the bulk configuration manager, select Start > Programs > ABB
Industrial IT 800xA > 800xA for OCS Systems > Harmony > Configuration >
Bulk Configuration Manager. This action starts Excel and loads the configuration
manager worksheet.
The bulk configuration manager document adds an additional menu item called
Operate IT to the Excel menu bar. The menu provides the commands for
interaction with an Harmony INFI 90 configuration.
Connecting to a Configuration Project

With a new bulk configuration workbook open in Excel, select Operate IT >
Project from the menu bar to connect to an Harmony INFI 90 configuration project.
The project command opens a window that provides options to identify the
Harmony INFI 90 configuration to work with. The window shows a selection list of
all the Harmony INFI 90 configuration projects supported by the default
Configuration Server.
150 3BUA000157R4101
Section 12 Configuration Tools Querying Objects
By default, the window uses information in the local registry to determine the
Configuration Server to contact. Use the Advanced button to specify another
computer or website of a running Configuration Server. The selection list will be
repopulated with the projects found at the specified location.
Changing the configuration causes any existing worksheets to be deleted.
Querying Objects
With a project selected, select Operate IT > Query Objects from the menu bar to
query the configuration for data. The query configuration command opens a window
that provides options to specify the data to perform bulk configuration on
(Figure 50). The window supports retrieving information by type.
TC02471B
Figure 50. Query Configuration
A request for data puts the data into a new worksheet. The description field allows
specifying a name for the worksheet. If no description is given, the default Excel
name is used.
Querying by type allows retrieving data based on the different types of Harmony
INFI 90 objects. To query by type:
1. Select an object type from the list of available types.
3BUA000157R4101 151
Displaying Data Section 12 Configuration Tools
2. Specify the Life Cycle of the data. A selection list displays a list of supported
Life Cycles.
3. Further filter the data by name by entering a filter string. The filter string can
contain any pattern supported by the T-SQL LIKE operator (refer to T-SQL
LIKE Pattern Syntax on page 158).
4. Select the desired attributes from the list of possible attributes. Multiple
attributes are selected by using CTRLand SHIFT.
5. Click OK to query the Configuration Server.
Displaying Data
Once the method of filtering and retrieving data is selected, a new worksheet opens
and the spreadsheet is populated with the data. The first row in the spreadsheet
contains heading information. The name of each attribute retrieved is listed in each
column. The remaining rows are populated with data returned in the query. For each
record, data is placed in the column corresponding to the attribute. An example of
the spreadsheet view is shown in Figure 51.
TC02472A
Figure 51. Spread Sheet View Example
The first column in the spreadsheet is reserved for displaying a success or failure
status when the changes are later submitted. The cell will be colored green on
success or red on failure.
When a query worksheet is no longer needed, it can be removed by viewing the
worksheet then selecting Operate IT > Remove Query Worksheet.
152 3BUA000157R4101
Section 12 Configuration Tools Insert Object
Insert Object
New database entries can be added using the Insert Object option. One or multiple
objects can be added at a time. To add database entries:
1. Query for configuration data as described in Querying Objects on page 151.
2. Select Operate IT > Insert Object from the menu bar.
3. Define the Name Prefix, Separator, and Seed fields for the new objects. New
objects are named and sequentially numbered according to these entries. The
name assigned to the new objects is in the form:
<prefix><separator><seed>
where:
prefix Prefix used for all added objects.

separator Separator character; default is hyphen (-).
seed Starting number for the sequential objects.
4. Define the Count. This is the number of objects to create.

5. Click OK. Added objects appear in yellow.
Filtering Query Results

The ability to further filter data displayed in a worksheet is provided. Several
advanced features of Excel can be used to accomplish various types of filtering.
These include splitting the spreadsheet view into multiple frames, defining scrolling
areas, and hiding rows and columns. Refer to the Excel documentation for more
information.
Lock and Unlock Objects

In order to modify objects they must be in the Design mode and locked. To lock
Design mode objects:
1. Select the objects to be locked from the table.
2. Select Operate IT > Lock Selected Objects from the menu bar. The selected
objects will be locked and their background color will be changed to white.
3BUA000157R4101 153
Modifying Data Section 12 Configuration Tools
Only the user that locked the objects can modify and unlock them. Any non Design
mode objects or objects that are already locked by another user are considered read
only. In this case, the color of the corresponding row is gray and the row is not
editable. This is sometimes useful for cross reference purposes.
The objects must be unlocked before the spreadsheet is released. If an attempt is
made to close the spreadsheet with locked objects, a notification of the locked
objects will appear. If the objects are not unlocked, they will remain locked in the
Configuration Server after the spreadsheet is closed.
To unlock objects:
1. Select the objects to be unlocked from the table.
2. Select Operate IT > Unlock Selected Objects from the menu bar. The
selected objects will be unlocked and their background color will be changed to
gray.
Modifying Data
Only query results that have been locked in the configuration can be modified. In a
read only worksheet, the user is only able to move around the spreadsheet and copy
data.
1. Life Cycle changes can only be made if an object is not locked.
2. The bulk configuration manager only supports deleting objects by changing a
Design or Out of Service object to the delete Life Cycle. Removing rows and
columns from the spreadsheet does not delete the object and will cause
unpredictable results.
Individual cells can be edited by changing the data. The user can select a range of
cells (typically within a column) to make many changes. Basically, any feature of
Excel can be utilized, including replace and macros, to modify the data. When a cell
is modified, its color is changed to blue. This gives a visual indication of the
changes.
Certain information, such as relationships, is displayed using the underlying GUID
data. To simplify changes to this data, the bulk configuration manager provides a
method to pick the relationship and have the corresponding GUID information
written into the cell.
154 3BUA000157R4101
Section 12 Configuration Tools Submitting Changed Data
To change these types of attributes:

1. Select the attribute of the object that is to be changed.
2. Click the search button on the column header. This opens a selection window
with the available changes.
3. Select one of the objects and click OK to change the attribute.
When the bulk configuration manger is online (able to communicate with the
Configuration Server), the window displays information queried directly from the
Configuration Server. When working offline, the window displays information from
a cached copy of this information saved in the workbook at the time when it was
taken offline. Refer to Working in Offline Mode on page 157 for more information.
Submitting Changed Data

Data can only be submitted when working online. Select Operate IT > Submit
Changes from the menu bar. The submit changes command applies the changes to
the Harmony INFI 90 configuration. Only the changes for the worksheet in focus
are saved. Repeat this command for all modified worksheets.
The changes are submitted one row (object) at a time so that there are no large
transactions and failures can easily be identified. Only the rows and columns that
changed are saved.
When data in a row is successfully submitted to the configuration database, the
color of the changed cells revert to the background color. The first column in the
spreadsheet also shows a success status by changing color to green.
When data in a row cannot be submitted, the changed cells remain in the
modification color (blue). The first column shows a failed status by changing color
to red. The row and the error code and description are saved in a temporary error log
(in a hidden worksheet).
If all the rows are successfully submitted, the cells in the first column of the
spreadsheet are reverted back to the background color.
If some of the changes fail, a window displays that states there are errors in the
changes. The changes can be attempted again and resubmitted or the changes can be
cleared to remove the error. Clearing the errors and changes causes all failed cells
and rows to revert to the background color and value and the change log to be
3BUA000157R4101 155
Refreshing Data Section 12 Configuration Tools
cleared. The original value is retrieved from a hidden worksheet that retains the
original information.
Refreshing Data
The data viewed in the spreadsheet can be refreshed at any time by selecting
Operate IT > Refresh Data from the menu bar. This action queries the
Configuration Server to refresh the data.
Example Bulk Configuration

The following steps provide an example of configuration using the bulk
configuration manager. The example modifies Block numbers in a Harmony Analog
object type:
1. Open the bulk configuration manager. Right-click on the system definition

17. Select the Running Life Cycle from the list, then click OK.
18. Select Operate IT > Submit Changes from the menu bar.
19. Click Yes to refresh the worksheet.
If for some reason the objects have permanent locks, they can be deleted from the
SymLock table in the Configuration Server database.
Working in Offline Mode

When working offline, changes can be made to queries of data previously saved in
the workbook (xls file). All information required to make changes is saved in the
workbook. Access to the Configuration Server is not required.
The saved file can be copied to another computer and the changes can be made at a
later date or over a period of time. The updated file can be copied back onto an
Harmony INFI 90 Server and the changes submitted back to the configuration.
In order to support working offline, select Operate IT > Work Offline from the
menu bar.
Exporting Data
Query results stored in a worksheet can easily be exported to any of the formats
supported by Excel.
Limitations
A query is limited to 65,536 rows of data and 256 columns of attributes. The
number of logged changes is limited to the number of rows and cells that a
worksheet can store (65,536). The number of worksheets containing queried
information is limited by the number of worksheets that Excel can support (limited
by memory). The size of the data stored in the offline xls file is limited to what
Excel can support (four gigabytes).

Section 12 Configuration Tools Import/Export Configuration
Import/Export Configuration
The import/export configuration tool supports exporting and importing of objects to
and from an intermediate repository. The repository stores exported data in an XML
format that can be easily modified if necessary by third party applications. All
objects except for the system definition object, template objects, and structure
objects can be imported or exported. By default, templates are read only objects.
The tool provides the functions required to move data between configuration
databases. The tool can import and export data between Harmony projects within a
Configuration Server as shown in Figure 52 and between projects from different
Configuration Servers as shown in Figure 53.
Figure 52. Import/Export between Projects within Configuration Server
Figure 53. Import/Export between Projects from Different Configuration Servers
The data is exported from a configuration into an offline repository (Figure 54).
Once in the repository, data can be modified by using other applications. The data
can be merged or imported into one or more configuration projects.
Transferring data directly between two, available configurations is not supported.
An intermediate repository is required.

Import/Export Tool Access Section 12 Configuration Tools
Figure 54. Export/Import Operation
Import/Export Tool Access

To access the import/export configuration tool (Figure 55), select the following
options:
Start > Programs > ABB Industrial IT 800xA > 800xA for OCS Systems >
Harmony > Configuration > Import Export Configuration Wizard.
Export
The import/export tool exports objects to an intermediate storage called the
repository. Once in the repository, the configuration data can be view and modified.
The tool provides the ability to filter the information to export. For example, a filter
can be applied to select a group of tags that belong to a particular area. The
import/export tool supports all Life Cycles for export.
Care should be taken when making changes to the data in the repository. Any
inconsistency or corruption to the repository can cause an import tool to fail. Data
in the repository can only be modified and not added to or delete from. The tool
does not correct data that has been modified that later imports with errors.
When exporting data to a repository, data can be appended to an existing repository

or to a newly created repository. The appending option allows multiple
configuration databases to be merged into one repository for later importing.
The tool supports exporting all the system defined property types and relationships.
Any relationships to an object are exported. The name of the related object, any user
data, and the relationship type are exported. Similarly, for context menus, any object
references such as overrides and actions are converted to the name of the
corresponding object when exported.

Modifications
Changes to the name and/or description that are made directly in the name aspect of
the Harmony tag object in the Operator Workplace area automatically propagated
back to the Harmony INFI 90 Configuration Server. In some cases, a new version of
the tag object will be created to accommodate the change. since the tag could exist
in one of the several Life Cycles in the Configuration Server, the Harmony
Synchronizer uses the logic shown in Table 20 to determine which Life Cycle
version it will change, and what it does after the change is made.
In some cases, additional action will be required by the user to complete the
change.

because the name in the Running version will be different from the object in the Aspect Directory. In this case,
running the Harmony Synchronizer import changes from the Configuration Server will result in changing the object
name to be that of the Running version. It is recommended that changes made to a Design or Running version be
reviewed for correctness and transferred into the Running Life Cycle. This will ensure that operation is not

800xA System Time Synchronization Section 13 Aspects and Settings
800xA System Time Synchronization

The majority of time synchronization activity is done by components of the
Harmony INFI 90 system. The only nodes that will have time adjustments carried
out by the 800xA System, are nodes that do not have a Harmony INFI 90 Server.
800xA System Time Service Providers (TSP) should only be configured on
Harmony Connectivity Server nodes.
Although in theory, there should never be a need for the Client Time Handler to
make a time adjustment on a node that is running the Time Synchronization
Daemon (Connectivity Node), there may be cases (such as system startup) where
this will happen.
Operation Overview
The active Harmony INFI 90 Server synchronizes time with the control loop. The
active Harmony Server also broadcasts that time via TSP to all of the Time
Synchronization Daemons (although only the Master Time Synchronization
Daemon will process the message.
The Control Loop Time Synch. Master may be configured elsewhere on the
network, in which case the time will be read from the control loop by the
Harmony Server, and then forwarded to the Time Synch. Daemons.
The Master Time Synchronization Daemon will post the time to all other Time
Synchronization Daemons on the network. If necessary, slewing of time will begin
at a rate of one second adjustment per minute on nodes that need to have their time
adjusted.
The 800xA System Time Server will periodically broadcast the time on the active
(in Service state) Time Server to all Client Time Handlers. If a Client Time Handler
detects a time difference between the Time Servers time and the local time that is
greater than the configured deviation limit, it will attempt to adjust the time on the
local node (by doing a step change to the system time). (Note: under normal
operation, this should only happen on nodes not running the Time Synchronization
Daemon).
When a Connectivity Server node is added to the system, a Time Server service
provider is automatically added to Services > Time, Service > Basic, Service
176 3BUA000157R4101
Section 13 Aspects and Settings Operation Overview
Group > Time Basic > <computername> > Service Provider. The service
provider can be configured via the Service Provider Definition aspect. Refer to
Figure 66 as shown below.
TC04435A
Figure 66. Service Provider Definition
Any service providers added for nodes that do not have Harmony INFI 90 Server
installed, must be removed or disabled (otherwise the active Time Server could end
up broadcasting a time that is very different from the Time Synchronization
Daemon time).
All 800xA System nodes, whether they are client or Server nodes, have a
TimeServerHandler aspect in the Node Administration Structure under Node
Administration > All Nodes, Node Group > <computer name>, Node. Refer to
Figure 67 as shown below.
The Allowed To Set Time option should be unchecked for all nodes, to prevent users
from changing the system clock.
3BUA000157R4101 177
Time Synchronization Section 13 Aspects and Settings
TC04436A
Figure 67. Time Sync Run Option
The Connectivity Server or Harmony Server nodes should be configured to allow
Time Synchronization in the Server tags TagConfig aspect. Refer to Figure 68 as
shown below.
If a node other than the Connectivity Server is to act as Time Synchronization
Master on the control loop, then the Accuracy setting should be left as Low
Accuracy Battery on both Servers.
If the Connectivity Server pairs are to act as Time Synchronization master on the
control loop, then the Accuracy setting should be set at some level higher then Low
Accuracy Battery for both nodes, with the primary setting being slightly higher then
the redundant.
In addition, if the node is to act as the default TSP master, then the TSP timesync
priority should be set a number higher than any of the other nodes on the network.
If a node other then Connectivity Servers is to act as the default TSP Time Sync
Master, then the TIMESYNC PRIORITY should be left at the default of 1. The
default is 1 and the range is 1 to 10, where 10 is the highest priority.
The following registry entry should be modified on each Connectivity Server node
as follows:

TC02713B
Figure 69. Harmony INFI 90 System Time Adjust Window
New Time Adjust Target

The New Time Adjust Target section provides information the user needs to issue a
new time adjustment to the system.
The Time field provides the user with the current system time. The Target field
provides the user with the target time of the new adjustment operation. These two
fields will be updated every half second. The Deviation field will be used to enter a
time adjustment, in seconds, into the system. Changing the deviation will result in
the target and duration fields being updated to indicate the affect of the proposed
change prior to committing it. This field will be limited to plus or minus 300
seconds. The Duration field will provide the approximate length of time, in minutes,
needed to complete the new time adjustment operation. It will be based on the
current deviation of the fixed time adjustment rate of two seconds of adjustment per
minute. This field will be updated every time the user changes the deviation field.
Three buttons are provided at the bottom of the window. Use Apply to accept the
deviation request in the new deviation field. The application will issue a request to
the Master Timesync Daemon to adjust the time to the new settings. The application
will then issue a notification to each Harmony INFI 90 Server to indicate the start of
a time adjustment. OK will perform the functions defined for Apply, and will then
180 3BUA000157R4101

close the window. These buttons will be dimmed and inactive if the current user
does not have database configuration access.
The Estimated Time Remaining field is the time it will take for the local clock to
adjust to the requested time change. Each time an adjustment is being done, the
Adjust Local Clock Adjustment check box will be selected.
This time adjustment can be initiated from any Harmony Connectivity Server
node on the network.

Section 14 Backup and Restore
General
The following is general information about the Harmony Configuration Backup and
Restore:
1. The sessions on screen status entries are appended to a backup or restore log
file. The user must manually erase any unwanted entries or Rename/Delete the
log file to start a fresh log. The log file is initially created in the Windows 2000
accounts temporary directory location. The screen form contains a log file icon
that opens the log file in a Notepad application window for viewing, printing,
or editing of the log file.
2. Must be run on the Configuration Server containing the configuration database
for the Harmony INFI 90 feature while logged in to the Service Account for
this product.
Run the Backup option after creating a database for the first time. Run the
Backup option before doing an upgrade or making significant changes the system
configuration. Run the Restore option when the system becomes corrupt or after
and upgrade takes place.
Function
The Harmony INFI 90 Backup or Restore feature allows the user to manually
initiate a backup or restore that supports either the full backup or full restore of the
SQL Harmony INFI 90 configuration contained in its SQL database. The backup or
restore operation sequences through all steps required to complete the operation
requested.
The user backup process consists of the user selecting an aspect system name and
file location to contain a standard SQL backup set and initiating the backup. The
3BUA000157R4101 183
Backup Section 14 Backup and Restore
user restore process consists of the user selecting an existing SQL backup set
filename and initiating the restore operation.
Backup
Use the following steps to back up an existing configuration:
1. Select Start > Programs > ABB Industrial IT 800xA > 800xA for OCS
Systems > Harmony > Configuration > Backup Configuration.
2. The Connect button manually initiates the connection to the configuration
database using the current Windows 2000 account security. This account must
have Administrative access to the system and Configuration Server database
(Harmony Service Account).
3. The filename is auto generated using the Configuration Server name, date and
time (ConfigServerHC_20020521_1034.bak for example).
Refer to the MSSQL file folders for the .bak files generated upon successful
backup.
4. The Backup button manually initiates the SQL database backup operation.
Only one single backup is stored per file. If the backup file already exists it is
overwritten.
5. If completed successfully, the Exit button is activated and the user can then exit
to quit.
Restore
Use the following steps to restore an existing configuration:
1. Restore Configuration is launched from the Start menu. The path is as follows:
Harmony > Configuration > Restore Configuration.
2. The Connect button manually initiates the connection to the configuration
database using the current Windows 2000 account security. This account must
184 3BUA000157R4101
Section 14 Backup and Restore Restore
have Administrative access to the system and Configuration Server database

(Harmony Service Account).
The last successful backup name is preloaded into the screens Backup/Restore
file name field.
3. The Restore button initiates the restore operation.

4. The EbServerBroker and EbDataSync services are selected. If both are
stopped, the restore operation continues. If either one is not stopped, reboot the
system and run the restore operation again.
The user will be prompted when to do this step.
5. Restore target backup file to the Configuration Server database. The restore
operation overwrites the current database if it exists.
6. The EbServerBroker and EbDataSync service startup modes are changed to

Appendix B Quality Definition
Introduction
The purpose of this appendix is to describe the tag.property qualities in Harmony
INFI 90.
Description
Every property consists of following three pieces of information: a value, a quality,
and a timestamp. The quality describes the state of the property that originates
anywhere in the process control system.
An application in the process control system (function block in a controller or in
Harmony INFI 90) can evaluate the provided quality information and can apply
rules for further processing (use of values with a determined quality, displaying of
values with quality, use the quality for filter purposes).
Indicators
Tag quality is indicated with ASCII characters. The quality indicator appears in
several functions in the Harmony INFI 90 system (event page, faceplate, reports).
Table 45 contains a list of the quality indicators and their descriptions.
OPC Quality Definition

The quality definition is based on the quality defined by OPC. The OPC standard
defines property quality as a 16 bit data item. The lower eight bits of quality flags
are defined as a combination of three enumerated values: quality status (two bits),
substatus (four bits), and limit status (two bits). The higher eight bits are available

for vendor specific use (vendor specific status). The OPC quality structure is shown
in Table 46.

VS = vendor specific status.

OPC subdivides the quality into the three categories of good, uncertain, and bad.
Each category is further subdivided into up to 16 substatuses. The current definition
of the OPC quality is described in OPC Quality Flags on page 260.
Harmony INFI 90 Quality Definition

In contrast to OPC, Harmony INFI 90 provides the quality as a 32 bit word. The 32
bits are composed of the OPC standard (lower 16 bits) and Harmony INFI 90
standard extensions (upper 16 bit). The definition of a 32 bit quality allows using the
OPC vendor specific bits by a specific RTDS type as it is intended by the OPC
specification.
All quality information inside the process control system is mapped as much as
possible to the OPC quality specification.
Process control system specific quality information that cannot be mapped to the
OPC quality specification, can be mapped to the Harmony INFI 90 standard
extension. These quality bits can only be used in an application that has knowledge
of these quality extensions. The structure of the Harmony INFI 90 quality is shown
in Table 47. A description of the bits is provided in Table 48.

In addition to the OPC quality specification (quality for process properties),

Harmony INFI 90 also provides quality on a tag basis. This quality is derived from
the quality of the properties. The quality on property and tag basis, have the same
structure.
Tag.Property Quality for Process Properties

Process properties change their value, quality, and timestamp dependent on process
state. The current process properties consist of value, quality, and timestamp.
Quality and timestamp represent the last change of the associated value.
256 3BUA000157R4101
Appendix B Quality Definition Tag.Property Quality for Computed Properties
Tag.Property Quality for Computed Properties

Computed properties usually inherit the timestamp from the most recently changed
source of the computation. The quality of these properties is usually inherited from
the source as well. A common rule is that all needed properties will influence the
resulting quality.
An OR needs only one input to be true. If that input has a good quality the result will
have a good quality as well. In case of an AND, all inputs need to have a good
quality. That means the worst quality will rule the resulting quality. If the result
encounters a scaling or conversion error, a CER error can be reported. The result
should also have the calculated bit set. This allows an application to discern that the
result is from a calculation.
Tag.Property Quality for Configuration Data

All configuration data are part of basic components (SymObject, PSigReal). The
quality of these values is always GOOD non_specifc. The associated timestamp is
the time of the configuration (property CHTIME). The only exception is when the
configuration data is corrupt or not accessible.
Tag.Property Quality for Event Point Related Properties

Most of the event point related properties contain configuration data (refer to
Tag.Property Quality for Configuration Data on page 257). The computed properties
have a direct relationship to the generated event. These are the properties ACT
(event point active) and UNACKEP (event point not acknowledged).
Every event is generated from an property with quality and timestamp. The
computed event point related properties get the quality of the associated process
property. The timestamp has a direct relationship to the associated event.
Tag Quality
OPC defines a quality specified on property basis. In addition, Harmony INFI 90
also provides a quality on tag basis. The tag class (SymTag) provides separate
3BUA000157R4101 257
Properties Appendix B Quality Definition
properties for the tag related quality. These properties are derived from other
properties.
Properties
Quality
This property is part of the SymTag class. It represents the overall quality of the tag.
It provides this quality in the same format defined previously for tag property
quality. Specifically the value component of this property returns numerically the
Harmony INFI 90 quality word and textually the three character quality string. The
quality component of this property always returns the quality status GOOD
non_specific as it represents the quality of this property, not the tag. The timestamp
represents the last change in the value of this property.
Bad
This property is part of the SymTag class. It represents the overall BAD quality of
the tag. It provides this quality as a Boolean status signal with an associated event
point. The quality component of this property always returns the quality status
GOOD non_specific as it represents the quality of this property, not the tag. The
timestamp represents the last change in the value of this property.
Suspended
This property is a part of the HarmonyTag class (used for the Harmony functionality
substitution and off scan). It provides this quality as a Boolean status signal. The
quality component of this property always returns the quality status GOOD
non_specific as it represents the quality of this property, not the tag. The timestamp
represents the last change in the value of this property.

OPC Quality Flags

The low eight bits of the quality flags are currently defined in the form of three bit
fields: quality, substatus, and limit status. The eight quality bits are arranged as
follows:
QQSSSSLL
Quality Bits
Table 51 describes the values for the quality bits.
Table 51. OPC Quality Bits
QQ Bit Value Define Description

0 00SSSSLL Bad Value is not useful for reasons indicated by the
substatus.
1 01SSSSLL Uncertain Quality of the value is uncertain for reasons indicated
by the substatus.
2 10SSSSLL N/A Not used by OPC.
3 11SSSSLL Good Quality of the value is good.
Substatus Bits
The layout of these bits depends on the value of the quality bits. The substatus bits
for bad quality are shown in Table 52. Table 53 shows the substatus bits for
uncertain quality. Table 54 shows the substatus bits for good quality.
260 3BUA000157R4101
Appendix B Quality Definition Substatus Bits
Table 52. Bad Quality Substatus
SSSS Bit Value Define Description

0 000000LL Non specific Value is bad but no specific reason is known.
1 000001LL Configuration Some Server specific problem with the
error configuration. For example the item is question
has been deleted from the configuration.
2 000010LL Not connected Input is required to be logically connected to
something but is not. This quality may reflect that
no value is available at this time, for reasons like
the value may have not been provided by the data
source.
3 000011LL Device failure A device failure has been detected.
4 000100LL Sensor failure A sensor failure had been detected (the limit bits
can provide additional diagnostic information in
some situations.)
5 000101LL Last known value Communications have failed. However, the last
known value is available. Note that the age of the
value may be determined from the TIMESTAMP in
the OPCITEMSTATE.
6 000110LL Comm failure Communications have failed. There is no last
known value is available.
7 000111LL Out of Service Off scan or otherwise locked. This quality is also
used when the active state of the item or the group
containing the item is InActive.
8 - 15 N/A Not used by OPC.
NOTE: Servers that do not support substatus should return 0. An old value can be returned with the quality
set to bad (0) and the substatus set to 5. This is for consistency with the fieldbus specification. This is
the only case in which a client may assume that a bad value is still usable by the application.
3BUA000157R4101 261
Substatus Bits Appendix B Quality Definition
Table 53. Uncertain Quality Substatus
SSSS Bit Value Define Description

0 010000LL Non specific No specific reason why the value is uncertain.
1 010001LL Last usable value Whatever was writing this value has stopped doing
so. The returned value should be regarded as
stale. This differs from a bad value with substatus
5 (last known value). That status is associated
specifically with a detectable communications
error on a fetched value. This error is associated
with the failure of some external source to put
something into the value within an acceptable
period of time. The age of the value can be
determined from the TIMESTAMP in
OPCITEMSTATE.
2-3 N/A Not used by OPC
4 010100LL Sensor not Either the value has pegged at one of the sensor
accurate limits (in which case the limit field should be set to
1 or 2), or the sensor is otherwise known to be out
of calibration via some form of internal diagnostics
(in which case the limit field should be 0).
5 010101LL Engineering Returned value is outside the limits defined for this
units exceeded parameter. In this case (per the fieldbus
specification) the limits field indicates which limit
has been exceeded but does not necessarily imply
that the value cannot move farther out of range.
6 010110LL Subnormal Value is derived from multiple sources and has
less than the required number of good sources.
7 - 15 N/A Not used by OPC
NOTE: Servers that do not support substatus should return 0.
262 3BUA000157R4101
Appendix B Quality Definition Limit Bits
Limit Bits
The limit bits are valid regardless of the quality and substatus. In some cases, such
as sensor failure, it can provide useful diagnostic information. Table 54 provides the
descriptions of the limit bits.
Table 54. Limit Bits
LL Bit Value Define Description

0 QQSSSS00 Not limited Value is free to move up or down.
1 QQSSSS01 Low Value has pegged at some lower
limited limit.
2 QQSSSS10 High Value has pegged at some high
limited limit.
3 QQSSSS11 Constant Value is a constant and cannot
move.
NOTE: Servers that do not support limit should return 0.
