Preparing App Store Connect for Facit Monitoring

The following document provides instructions on how to configure App Store Connect for Facit Monitoring. It is intended for App Store Connect administrators (IT Professionals with access to on-site App Store Connect software services).

Introduction

Facit requires a number of Data Core components to be built and configured before end-users can employ the online app for surveillance monitoring. Fortunately, App Store Connect takes care of most of the heavy lifting.

1. Log on to the App Store Connect server.

2. Open the App Store Connect admin console.

3. Enable the Facit Data Source.

3.1 Navigate to Real-Time Data > Data Sources.

3.2 Select Facit > Details > Actions > Configure Settings > General Settings > Disabled.

3.3 Set to False.

4. Apply Licence.

4.1 Request Alarm Analysis Licence Key from Intelligent Plant. We will require your Machine Id - this is listed under the Data Source properties.

4.2 Set Alarm Analysis Licence

5. Build required Data Core components.

5.1 Navigate to Facit > Details > Actions > Custom Functions Calls

5.2 Enter…

  • Custom Function Name: SetUpFacit
  • Parameters: {}

This instantiates thes following Data Core components

  • Facit: An Alarm Analysis data source from which Script Tags actively monitor a target process data source.
  • Facit Limit Historian: A store for limit values.
  • Facit Archive Historian: A store for Script Tag calculated results.
  • Big Data Event Sink: A process that writes Facit events to a cache.
  • Facit Big Data Event Source: A process that read Facit events from the cache.
  • Facit Alarm Analysis Sink: A process that writes Facit events to Alarm Analysis.

6. Allow Facit to access target data source (any data source that contains values users wish to monitor).

6.1 Navigate to Navigate to Real-Time Data > Data Sources.

6.2 Select the target data source.

6.3 Select Details > Actions > Configure Data Source Settings > Scripting > Allow External Script Tags

6.4 Enter Facit.

7. Configure security access to Facit related data sources.

Users will require access to the following Data Sources:

  • Facit - Read/Write
  • Facit Limit Historian - Read/Write
  • the Target Data Source - Read/Only

Consider creating a “Facit Users Group”, where members have access to the Facit app and each of the above data sources. See Organization User and Data Management for more info.
