InTouch
System Platform
It might not be obvious to identify which infrastructure is in place, if you are not familiar with the
products. Here are things to look for to help identify the correct learning path for you:
If your application is using the ArchestrA framework, developed from the ArchestrA IDE,
hosted in a Galaxy, and is object-based, the infrastructure is Wonderware System
Platform.
If your application is tag-based, the infrastructure is Wonderware InTouch.
Keep in mind that the most recent versions of Wonderware InTouch allow the creation of tagbased applications using the ArchestrA IDE and hosted within a Galaxy for the sole purpose of
using the new ArchestrA Graphics. These applications are not really object-based.
While both learning paths share certain courses, each one has a different entry point:
The Wonderware System Platform learning path starts with the Application Server training course.
The Wonderware InTouch learning path starts with the InTouch training course.
It is important to note that the Wonderware InTouch product is used as the visualization component regardless of
the infrastructure in place, but we have designed and developed InTouch training courses tailored specifically for
each infrastructure:
The InTouch for System Platform training course is designed for users of applications based on the
Wonderware System Platform infrastructure. It teaches how to use the InTouch product as the
visualization component of object-based applications built with Application Server.
The InTouch training course is designed for users of tag-based applications created with Wonderware
InTouch.
Some of our courses can be taken standalone, that is, they don't have another class as a pre-requisite (for
example, Historian Client training or IntelaTrac training). This is not the case for the majority of our training
courses, which require knowledge of other products. For a graphical representation of the dependencies between
all the different courses we offer, please refer to the following diagrams:
