1. Select which asset the mimic will be based on from the first drop down list.
2. From the middle option, choose the template which the mimic will be based on.
3. Enter a name for the new mimic, then press the ‘OK’ button.
4. The first screen to appear will be the Status Report for the mimic, which will show which points
still need to be assigned to the asset. The example below shows that the Alarm element has
been mapped to the selected controller automatically; while two parameters have also been
mapped across successfully using the search text; the multivalue element needs to be edited
with the appropriate points selected. What this could mean is that the template controller
didn’t really match the controllers on the new mimic, this could be because the differences in
controllers were too many, or that the search text has slightly different variations that don’t
match exactly. Unmapped objects will not be displayed when ‘live’.
5. Press the ‘Edit’ button for each unmapped element which needs to be changed and select the
correct point from the respective drop down list.
6. Make any additional changes to the mimic as necessary. These additions include adding:
- Alarms
- Parameters
- Static Images and Annotations
NOTE:
If you adjust a template, such as add new images, parameters etc, then any mimics which have been
created from the template will also be updated, but with one exception; the asset’s parameters.
If a parameter is changed on a template, such as a ‘s3’ to an ‘s4’, then the mimics which are based
on it will not be mapped automatically. Instead, each mimic will have to be updated manually by
editing the mimic and changing the parameter. This applies to parameters and multivalues, and will
also include object templates
3.9.1 Add an image
Additional preloaded images (such as buttons, fans etc) can be added to a mimic.
1. Right click on the mimic and select ‘Fixed’ / ‘Image’ from the menu.
2. Select the image from the top drop down menu.
3. Choose a link from the list if you want the image to act as a link to another mimic or report or leave
it blank for no links.
4. Enter the dimensions of the image. Leave blank for the default image size.
5. Enter text for the tool tip and press ‘OK’.
