BatchView's flexible
in that it lets you do some ad-hoc searching
that's, that can be very convenient. Now, if I have
my Search for my Digester and I am looking at the past four hours,
and I just want to go back maybe over
the past six hours,
I can change this Time Range
to six hours, and I can look at that
data or change the 12 or 10 or 2 or
3, and as long as I do not,
as long as I do this in Run Mode -- you will notice I am in Run Mode --
all these changes are ad-hoc changes.
I can simply revert back to my,
to my original configuration
without having to worry about did I save this
or did I make a change? Did I, did I mess up my display?
I can put it right back to where it was.
You could also right-click on the Batch Trend
and you can get a,
different Tag Aliases. So, if I wanted to change
from viewing Temperature -- maybe I want to change Temperature
to Pressure, and I want to add that to my,
to my Batch Trend -- I can do that here.
Again, that's an ad-hoc change. So, if I revert
that back to the original configuration,
that shows me Temperature. So, I can do a lot of different
changes to my, to my
functionality here, to my Batch Group,
without actually having to save them permanently. And these are called
ad-hoc changes.
One of the neat features of using
BatchView in ProcessBook is you can take advantage of
the Module Relative Display Concept,
and bring it into the world of Batch. Let's go
and look at my ProcessBook Display that I
built. You can see that I have got my Batch Group from an earlier
example. I am showing all the data from Digester 1
for the last four hours. And, let's go
into the Batch Group and let's edit that.
And let's --
we want to change this Unit Name to be
something that is going to be able to
point to a given Module. Now, before I do that,
I want to add my Module Relative,
Module Relative List to my Display.
So, I am going to go to Tools and add Module.
And I am going to drill down until I find the Modules
that I want to use. Now I want to compare my Digesters,
and if you remember from an earlier
example, we built this Module, Module
Path, and I need to add Digester 1
by clicking on the Module and clicking the little
Add A Module arrow, and add Digester 2.
That will add Digesters 1 and 2 to my selected
Modules Column, and thus, to my Display.
Now, what I need to do is I need to tie
this Module Path to this Unit Name
so Digester 1 is not hard-coded in here.
So what I am going to do is
go back to my Configuration
and I am going to go to my -- over here next to
Unit 1, or Digester 1, I am going to click there
and you will see that Digester 1 is
hard-coded in there as the Unit Mask.
I am going to delete that and click on the little
Module Symbol and change that to simply be the
Module Context. So what that's going to do is
it's going to pick up the Module Context from
my Available Modules Panel. So, if I go back
to Run Mode and I click on --
well, let me expand this out so you can tell which
Digester we are using. Remember, everything that has a
2 in the 1st of the four digits was Module --
Digester 2, and everything that has a 1
in it is Digester 1. So, you can see
how I have created a Module Relative Display
using both my Module
Relative functionality or Available Modules, and
my Batch Group.
If your Gantt Chart and your Trends
ever get decoupled or
un-synchronized, you can synchronize them again
by using what we call this
Grab Feature. You will see
as I, as I illustrate this, I am going to take my,
my Batch Trend -- I am going to scroll
down a little bit -- and I am going to --
oop, I moved the whole thing -- I am going to grab just the Trend
and I want to move that apart. And, you can see that
now they are separated. And, if I were to ever
change the, the,
the Time Range on this Trend, they, they might not
be synchronized any more. So, if I want to
synchronize this Trend back with my Gantt Chart, I
simply grab the Trend in Build Mode,
and as you move it close and you align
the left edges, you will see these
three triangles appear, and when the
three triangles appear, if you drop
the Trend right at that point, they will now
become aligned once again. So, as it
says, you drag either the Gantt Chart or the Batch Trend
toward the other. As the left edges align,
they will snap together with three arrows,
you release the mouse, and now you are
synchronized again. Normally, when
people want to compare things like durations or time into
process, they use the Gantt Chart, and we are going to look at
some of the features: the Double Click, the Align, the Zooms.
First of all, we have a Right-click Menu
that we can use. If we right-click on any
of the Gantt Strips, we can see we can either
expand this item to the next
level, or to all level, or we can expand every
PIUnitBatch. We also have the option
of collapsing. So, if I expand
this item to all levels, you can see that I get all the levels
showing for that particular
Gantt Chart or that particular Batch. Now,
if I wanted to, if I wanted to
zoom in or
compare all these Pre-Cooking, Pre-Hydrolysis
Cooking Phases, I can right-click on it and say
Align to Every Cooking Phase. And, what that's going to do
is it aligned all of my Batches,
all of my UnitBatches, to that Phase. Now, if I wanted
to expand to every
Cooking Phase, you can see that I have
expanded all of my Gantt Charts
and they are all lined up to that Phase. And, in fact,
if I only wanted to see that particular
Phase, I could zoom in on it -- this is sorta
tough to do because of the lines -- but, if you drag a box
around that Phase, it will eliminate
everything from your diagram except
for those particular items. And, you will notice that every time
I make this -- every time I make a change in the Gantt Chart --
the Trend changes appropriately as well. So,
I can either, I can either
show the Parent Level for those particular ones,
or I can simply revert back to my original
configuration. So, there's a lot of different
things you can do with the Right-click
and with the Zoom, with the, with the Drag
in the Gantt Chart. Also,
notice that
when you have Zoom with Align -- that was a setting in the,
a setting in the Trend Configuration --
Zoom with Align is normally Disabled, and
that way when you Zoom it does not necessarily align each one of
them, it shows them in their relative spaces.
If you have Zoom with Align Enabled, it will
align each item every time you zoom, so that
behavior is set in the Trend Configuration, and you
can alter that as you see fit.
Another common task with BatchView is to do a
Process Value Analysis, and this is usually focused on the Batch
Trends. And the Batch Trends work very
much like ProcessBook Trends in that you can
zoom in on a particular section, you can
revert back out, and you can
use the Trend
Cursors and all of the features that you
come -- have come to expect from the ProcessBook
Trend. So, if I wanted to compare or watch
the current Batch running -- that's the Batch in green --
I would, I could see that run, and then if I wanted to
compare that or zoom in on anyone of those points, I could simply
zoom in and see where that Batch
happened to be lying at that point, and I could revert
back out and continue to watch it rise.
Keep in mind that when you zoom in on something like that,
you no longer get the Live Update. It's just a snapshot of
when you zoomed in. So, when you come back,
you may see that the Trend looks a little bit different if you have
stayed zoomed in for any period of time.
Exercise 9 asks us to use many of the features that we have been
looking at, so let's go into ProcessBook.
And it's first asking us, on Digester 1,
find in the last 24 hours all the batches
where the temperature exceeded 185 degrees
for more than five percent of
the PIUnitBatches during the last seven,
during less than 75 minutes. So,
I am going to draw a Batch Group on the screen.
And, first of all, we want, we want
for Digester 1, so I am going to change
the Unit Name to Digester 1.
And I want to
look on the Layout Tab and make
sure that I add my Search and Results
parameters. Now, I want, I want to be able to have my
user search for specific criteria, and in this
case we are looking at some of the Filter criteria.
So, I want to configure the Search Res...Panel.
And I am only going to be searching for
Unit Batches, so I do not need the Select Feature, I
do not need Batch ID or Product. All I need is Unit Name
because they may want to look at Digester 2 as well.
And -- but I do want to add Duration
and Filter because those are fields that I want my users
to be able to, to select on. So,
once I have configured that, I can
click OK.
And you can see I have
my Search criteria here. I have got my
Search and my Results and
my Gantt. And, I probably could have added the Trend,
the Trend, Temperature
Trace to I want -- if I wanted, to the Trend. But, they wanted us to
find on Digester 1, for the last 24 hours,
everything where the temperature exceeded 185
degrees. So, I am going to put the
Alias in there of Temperature.
And I am going to put Greater Than 185. And, they have
asked us that they want to find out where that temperature
exceeded
that for more than five percent of the times.
So, I am going to select Greater Than. You will notice five percent is
not one of the pre-canned options, so I am going to type in
five percent. And, they wanted to
find this where the duration
was shorter than 75 minutes.
So, 75 minutes would be 75m.
I can click Search.
And the Results are shown on the right. I, I have,
I have completed the first query.
Now the second query they are asking us on Digesters 1
or 2, find PIBatch, UnitBatches, that were
completed in the last 12 hours. So, I want to
say that --
where we
ended within the last 12 hours,
between Now, 12 hours
ago and Now, and whose
duration was
between 50 and 60 minutes. I am going to use
40 minutes and 60 minutes because I do not think I
have any below 50. I do not need
the Filter Expression anymore. So
I can click Search, and you can see that I do have
some results. I am going to go in [inaudible]
also asked us that they only want to see the Sulfate Cooking Phase
information, and they want us to align to all those
Start Times. So, I am going to
drag a box around Sulfate Cooking.
And then, finally, to align each one of them, I want to
select Align To Every Operation.
And there you can see, clearly, we had one
Sulfate Cooking Phase that was
longer than the others, and
wa...a couple that were shorter than the others.
Now, if I wanted
to do the extra credit, I could save this
as Hourly.
And they simply want us to find the
last 12 hours of Electrical and Gas Consumption
on an hourly basis, and describe
the peculiarities of each process. So, what I want to do
is go in and find my,
my Gas Consumption
Event that we did. If you remember, we had our
hourly. I am going to remove the Digester.
And,
I am going to go Any Length, and
Active Within the Last 12 Hours,
and click Search. And we can
see all of the hourly, hourly rates here --
all of the hourly variables here, And, if I
double-click on the Batch Group,
I can add either the
Electrical or --
[typing]
I can add either the Electrical or the Gas
Consumption to that query.
And I can see any peculiarities
that I want to look at over the last hour for those.
