The Sensors screen displays Configured Sensors in your plant, which provides you with information that can be sorted by column.

 

On this page, users can see the mapping between the plant's sensor names and the corresponding names in the platform. 
The Tag column corresponds to the name of the sensor in the PLC. Because PLC tags can be difficult to read, the Platform Name is used in Overview, Data, Interactive, and all other features of the platform for clarity and readability. 

 

NOTE: You must have Administrator credentials to access the Admin Configure page.

 

 

To access and enable Sensor editing, do the following:

 

1. On the Platform, click on the "Admin Configure" page.
2. Locate "Sensors" in the Tools menu on the left of the screen and click on it.

 

Here you will see the "Configured Sensors" screen. An example is shown below: 

 

 

 

Editing Sensors

Clicking on the pencil edit icon  located to the left of a selected sensor will reveal a popup window in which you can the edit field contents of the sensor, such as Upper and Lower Limits. These are normally defined initially with the "FormBuilder Tool" on the Data page. 

 

NOTE: "System Controlled" Sensors will only allow you to edit "Limits" and "Critical Limits" fields.

 

 

 

User created Sensors may be further edited dependent on access to non-greyed out fields.

 

Once editing is completed. Re-save using the highlighted "Save" button.

 

 

IMPORTANT!  Setting Upper and Lower Limits here do not generate Alerts. By default, these limits are mainly used for the purposes of user workflow charting.
