Micro-PWC
™ Installation & Setup Guide
Introduction 3
A Point Display provides the most detailed information and operation functions about a single instrument
function block in the Hierarchical Display system. From this level the operator can perform regulatory
changes. Hierarchical Display configuration is discussed in the Micro-PWC Configuration Guide.
1.3.4 Graphic Configuration
Up to 10,000 network-wide graphic displays can be configured using the Micro-PWC system. Because
they are network-wide, a graphic display can be configured on any Micro-PWC system; a copy of the file
containing the graphic is then distributed to all Micro-PWC systems on the network whenever a graphic is
saved or installed. Graphic Configuration is discussed in the Micro-PWC Configuration Guide.
1.3.5 Historical Database
The Historical Database provides the means to collect data from the instruments and store it for use by
various other applications on the Micro-PWC system, such as Logging, Trending and Data Archiving. His-
torical Data collection is an option on the Micro-PWC system. Configuration of Historical Database data
collection is discussed in the Micro-PWC Configuration Guide.
1.3.6 Logging
Logs are used to collect and format data for use in reports and spreadsheet calculations. The three types
of logs available on the Micro-PWC system include Summary Logs, Event Logs and Spreadsheet Logs.
Spreadsheet logs are an optional feature, configured via Microsoft Excel on the Micro-PWC system. Logs
are available network-wide. Log configuration is discussed in the Micro-PWC Configuration Guide.
1.3.7 Trending
Trending functions display the values of from 1 to 8 points in an analog trend format similar to that pre-
sented by a conventional strip chart recorder. Three types of trend recording are provided on the Micro-
PWC system, including Current Trending, Historical Trending and Archival Trending. Trend displays are
network-wide. Trend configuration is discussed in the Micro-PWC Configuration Guide.
1.3.8 System Status Display
The System Status Display provides an overview of the nodes connected to the Micro-DCI console net-
work. The System Status display also provides access to instrument configuration, which is discussed in
Chapter 10 of the Micro-PWC Configuration Guide. The System Status Display is described in the
Micro-PWC Configuration Guide.
1.3.9 Instrument Configuration
The Micro-PWC system can be used to configure the various Micro-DCI instruments, and can also be used
to updump or download the instrument database, as well as F-tran program files. The mechanics of using
the Micro-PWC system to perform these functions and other services such as file management and data-
base structure verification are provided in the Micro-PWC Configuration Guide.
1.3.10 Micro-PWC System Utilities
A number of useful maintenance and information management functions are provided as Utilities.
Utilities available on the Micro-PWC system include: Backup/Restore, Database Maintenance utilities,
Alarm Groups, Release All Configuration Locks, Other Applications, (Micro-PWC) System Help, User
Help, Quick Keys, CRT Context Keys, and CRT Print.
Utilities of use to personnel involved in configuration activities are discussed in the Micro-PWC Configura-
tion Guide. Utilities of use to the process operator are discussed in the Micro-PWC Operator's Manual.
