IPFusion Workstations
The IPFusion Workstations integrated system provides the ability to connect and visualize workstation state and commands within the platform as standard assets.
Setup
Prerequisites
| Software | Minimum Version |
|---|---|
| IPFusion — Workstations | 1.0 |
| .NET Framework | 4.7.2 |
Ports
No communication configuration settings are required for the IPFusion Workstations integrated system, as Workstation state is resolved through the HIVE Service.
| Runtime to Service Port | Management API Port |
|---|---|
| 7211 | 5255 |
Assets
Workstations
This asset represents a Workstation in the project.
Required Property Grid Fields
| Workstation | The Workstation selected from the project’s list of preexisting Workstations. |
Supported States
| Acknowledged | An asset alarm has been acknowledged. |
| Disabled | The Workstation is currently disabled and cannot be accessed. |
| Enabled | The Workstation is currently enabled and can be accessed. |
| Logged In | The Workstation has Security
enabled and a user has successfully logged in. Note: If
Security is off, Logged In states will not update and
should not be used to bind any asset
statuses. |
| Logged Out | The Workstation has Security
enabled and Runtime is currently on the login page. Note: If
Security is off, Logged Out states will not update and
should not be used to bind any asset
statuses. |
| Masked | The asset has been masked over its true state. |
| No Communication | The Workstation state cannot be determined because it is still initializing or the asset does not have a Workstation configured. |
| Offline | The Workstation is offline when Runtime has stopped or is unable to communicate with other Workstations. |
| Online | The Workstation is online when Runtime is active and able to communicate with other Workstations. |
See the Configure a Status Table page for more information on configuring status tables.
Supported Commands
| Acknowledge | Acknowledge an asset alarm. |
| Cancel | Deselects all selected assets. |
| Disable | Disables the Workstation. This stops the Workstation from
being used. Note: Once a Workstation is disabled, there is
no way to re-enable it unless an
Enable command is sent to
it. Note: If the Workstation is offline when it is
disabled, it will enter the disabled state as soon as it
next comes online. |
| Disable with Image | Disables the Workstation and displays an image. This
stops the Workstation from being used. Note: Once a
Workstation is disabled, there is no way for a user to
re-enable on the Workstation itself since the users will
not be able to access the Runtime until it has been
re-enabled by the Enable
command. |
| Enable | Enables the previously disabled Workstation. Note: If the
Workstation is offline when it is enabled, it will enter
the enabled state as soon as it next comes
online. |
| Logout | Force a Log Out on the selected Workstation. Note: If
Security is disabled, this will have no
effect. |
| Mask | Mask the asset's true state. |
| New Note | Adding the New Note Command to your Command Table subscribes this asset to Notes, allowing an operator to attach Notes to this asset in Runtime. |
| Reset | Resets the asset to its true hardware state. |
| Workflow Trigger | Allows users to trigger Workflows to create custom commands. |
See the Command Tables page for more information on configuring command tables.
Advanced Mode
This integrated system has the ability to create custom icons and attributes to build new asset visuals and states in Designer. Please read Advanced Mode for more information.
Troubleshooting
Logs from the driver and Runtime can be viewed in the Debug Tools client. These messages contain information which can provide further context for issues during initialization, or while actively running. This can help diagnose problems.
