Common Plant Model Reduces Complexity
At the center of the Wonderware System Platform is the ‘plant model’ the logical representation of the physical processes being controlled and supervised with the Wonderware software application.
The unique plant model provides a single consistent definition of your physical equipment. It defines how data are acquired, how alarms are defined and who has access to them, in meaningful terms and organized as re–usable templates.
Through a hierarchical model of industrial operations, the plant model presents a convenient abstraction of your physical equipment and systems. The model provides a more powerful and productive application development environment, including: equipment, areas, work processes, key performance indicators, calculations, interfaces, computers, controllers, databases or anything which can be modeled in the form of templates.
The plant model gives essential context to your data, greatly assisting you with diagnosing and troubleshooting, as well as providing valuable documentation during commissioning and throughout the lifecycle of the system.
By providing a vital and accurate representation of your operational resources, independent from the physical computing resources used to run the system, the plant model gives you increased application flexibility to decrease the risks associated with initial implementations, as well as the adoption of change over time.
