Model types include the following:
Dynamic Micro-DCI Submodels contain pre-configured dynamic attributes. The names of these submodels
are prefixed by the string FP_DY. Dynamic submodels are used:
• to display dynamic data from the controller database, using various forms such as valves and
bargraphs,
• for the control of controller modules, and
• for the assignment of display vectoring.
The assignment of controller database points to the dynamic attributes is accomplished through the Con-
figure Submodel menu. (See the sub-section titled
Section 4.3, Dynamics for further information on this
menu.)
The section of this chapter titled Section 4.4, Micro-DCI Submodels includes a complete list of these sub-
models.
Symbol submodels are standard static submodels, pre-configured and supplied with the Micro-DCI soft-
ware. Symbols are objects which represent standard items such as vessels, tanks and storage bins. Sym-
bols which correspond to those defined by the Instrument Society of America (ISA) have the prefix ISA_.
Non-ISA symbols contain the prefix FP_ST. The sub-section
Section 4.5, Micro-PWC Symbols includes a
complete list of these submodels. Dynamic attributes can be assigned to these submodels via the Dynamic
Attributes menu item. (See the sub-section titled
Section 4.3, Dynamics for further information on this
menu.)
Micro-DCI submodels provide the user with access to the same submodels used to create point and group
(hierarchical) displays on the Micro-PWC The names of these submodels are prefixed by the string uFP_.
Section 4.6, Micro-DCI SUBMODELS ,includes a complete list of these submodels.
Internal submodels are models used for purposes internal to Micro-DCI console displays, and are prefixed
with the string FP_IN.
4.2.4.13.1 Locating Submodels via the FILTER Option
The Filter option allows the user to search for a particular string of alphanumeric characters occurring in file
names, or for a particular file. The search operation is not case sensitive; lower case letters can be substi-
tuted for upper case, and vice versa. Click directly on the Filter entry box. Type in the string or file name for
which to search, then press the
E NTER key. Asterisks will automatically be placed at the beginning and end
of the string. The list box will display the names of all files containing the string. For example, searching the
Off-Line
Submodels Off-Line Submodels include all user-configured, uninstalled submodels
available on the system. (See the sub-section
Section 4.2.9.1, File Types:
Installed and Off-line Graphic and Submodel Files , for a discussion of these
types of submodels.)
Installed
Submodels Installed Submodels include all user-configured submodels which have
been installed on the system, via the INSTALL option (available from the
File option on the menu bar of the Grafx window). Only installed submodels
can be used in installed graphics. (For a discussion of these types of
submodels, see the sub-section titled
Section 4.2.9.1, File Types: Installed
and Off-line Graphic and Submodel Files .)
Micro-DCI
Submodels Micro-DCI Submodels are submodels which have been supplied with the
Micro-DCI software. Several different types of Micro-DCI Submodels are
provided; the prefix of the submodel name indicates the type of the
submodel.
