Proficy Products Overview 产品概述
Products Overview
The primary role of Plant Applications in a plant information system is to bridge the gap between continuous time-based data and the manufacturing and business transaction-based data that is found throughout the plant. Plant Applications has powerful tools that segment the continuous data by the discrete events in order to make decisions concerning grade performance and process optimization. These tools perform this critical function by detecting the important events in the plant, reconciling continuous and event-based data, setting the context of the data through business rules and definitions, and summarizing key variables for long-term performance analysis.
Plant Applications, beginning with version 6.1, enhanced the implementation of holistic operations performance management solutions for batch, discrete, and mixed environment on one platform using equipment-, product-, and people-centric models. Although previous Plant Applications databases are supported, version 6.1 introduced a Unified Manufacturing Database (UMDB) that merges the Plant Applications data model with the Proficy S95 data model. The combined data model offers these useful features:
Interoperability of the Proficy Client and Plant Applications user interfaces
Data entry through Proficy Client interfaces
Expanded list of data methods to create custom displays and forms to make use of the unified data models
Refer to the Plant Applications Getting Started Guide, which is accessible from the Installation Menu for the software, for further information. It includes a checklist for Plant Applications Implementation.
在工厂信息系统中，工厂应用程序的主要作用是弥合连续的基于时间的数据与整个工厂中基于制造和业务事务的数据之间的差距。工厂应用程序拥有强大的工具，通过离散事件分割连续数据，以便做出有关等级性能和过程优化的决策。这些工具通过检测工厂中的重要事件、协调连续数据和基于事件的数据、通过业务规则和定义设置数据的上下文以及总结用于长期性能分析的关键变量来执行这一关键功能。
从版本6.1开始，工厂应用程序使用以设备、产品和人员为中心的模型，在一个平台上增强了批量、离散和混合环境的整体操作性能管理解决方案的实施。尽管支持以前的工厂应用程序数据库，但版本6.1引入了统一制造数据库（UMDB），该数据库将工厂应用程序数据模型与Proficy S95数据模型合并。组合数据模型提供了以下有用的功能：
Proficy客户端和工厂应用程序用户界面的互操作性
通过Proficy客户端接口输入数据
用于创建自定义显示和表单的扩展数据方法列表，以使用统一数据模型
