Setting up a station

To set up the framework in a station, you drag the AnalyticService from the analytics palette to the Services folder in the Nav tree.
  1. Open Workbench and connect to your Supervisor station.
  2. Open the analytics palette.
  3. Drag the AnalyticService component from the palette to the Services folder in the station’s Nav tree.
    When you add the AnalyticService, the framework automatically adds a standard Tag Dictionary named analytics to the station's TagDictionaryService component. This dictionary includes a single a:a marker tag under its Tag Definitions.
  4. To use algorithms from the analytics-lib palette, open the analytics-lib palette and expand the Tag_Dictionary folder.
    Many of the algorithms provided in the analytics-lib palette (Algorithm > English or Algorithm > Metric palette sub folders) use tag definitions that are not found in the default Niagara or Haystack tag dictionaries. Those additional tags are defined in a tag dictionary named Analytics (subtle difference with a capital A). This tag dictionary is in the analytics-lib palette under the TagDictionary sub folder.
  5. Delete the existing analytics tag dictionary from the station’s TagDictionaryService.
  6. Drag (or copy and paste) the Analytics container from the palette to the TagDictionaryService.
  7. As a best practice, save the station (right-click the station in the Nav tree and click Save Station from the drop-down menu).
