Section 1 Course Introduction

Course Description
The InTouch basic course is a 3-day, instructor-led class focused on Managed
InTouch Application design. The course provides a fundamental understanding of the
basic principles of the Wonderware visualization module and the steps necessary to
develop a Human Machine Interface (HMI) system for your specific plant floor.
Lectures and hands-on labs guide you through setup, layout, best practice concepts,
features, and functions of the InTouch Software platform. Hands-on labs reinforce
concepts and features.

Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
Create a Galaxy
Build a complete Managed InTouch application following best practices
Use WindowMaker to create windows and configure your InTouch application
Create and import tags, and use the Tagname Dictionary

Section 2 InTouch and ArchestrA IDE Overview

Overview
InTouch software provides graphic visualization of your operations management and
control. No other HMI can match InTouch software for industry leading innovation,
architectural integrity, unequaled device integration and connectivity, uninterrupted
software version migration path, and truly legendary ease of use.
Wonderware InTouch provides you with a quick and easy way to create HMI
applications for the Microsoft operating systems. InTouch applications are used
around the world in the manufacture of all kinds of goods including food processing,
semiconductors, oil and gas, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper,
transportation, utilities, and more.

Managed InTouch Application

The ArchestrA Integrated Development Environment (IDE) can be used to create an
ArchestrA Galaxy in the Galaxy Repository and to create a managed InTouch
application. The ArchestrA IDE can also be used to configure and deploy all
necessary objects to support an InTouch runtime workstation. In the IDE, a managed
InTouch application is derived from an $InTouchViewApp template object and then
launched in WindowMaker for creating and editing the application.
When a Managed InTouch Application has been deployed to a runtime workstation
where the ArchestrA IDE is not installed, the InTouch Application Manager
(InTouch.exe) can be used to launch a deployed InTouch application in
WindowViewer. The InTouch Application manager cannot be used to edit a managed
application. Throughout this course you will develop an InTouch application, create
symbols, and configure graphics and other elements using standard functionality in
the ArchestrA IDE, WindowMaker, and WindowViewer. The following list shows the
approach we will use as we develop the InTouch application:
Launch and connect the ArchestrA IDE to your Galaxy
Create Symbols in the ArchestrA symbol editor
Configure ArchestrA objects
Create an InTouch application
Add tags, scripts, and links
Embed symbols
Configure symbols
Test the application
