Axon Builder3 contains a section dedicated to project templates, which can be enriched with the user’s own developments. This makes it easier for engineering companies that manage different clients to have a typical project for each of them, which serves as a guide to maintain a standard screen design, keeping a color palette, list of signs, among others. To do this, simply save finished projects as a template in a resource directory.
This wizard takes the MMS addresses from the IEC 61850 standard and translates them into a standard list of predefined names. Based on a set of customizable rules defined with the regular expression language, it searches for matches between a predefined list of signals and the nomenclatures of the current data model. When using automatic match recommendation, the system will rename signals from the predefined name list. These rules are available in an open format that we can extend or create from scratch, allowing for different naming conventions.
This wizard makes it easy to automatically create screens from a customizable and extensible gallery of templates representing bays, measurements and interlocks or any other display. In addition, they offer the possibility of mapping signals manually or automatically applied to the animations and actions defined in the template used.
It allows the user to manipulate the colors and the assignment of variables of the animations and actions of a group of objects in existing screens in a single interface. At the end of this operation, functional objects will be modified with the new sources.
Axon Builder3 has been created under a multithreaded architecture that gives it two great benefits: robustness against failures and greater information processing capacity. Additionally, it has the ability to accept configuration changes by restarting the minimum number of services required to be affected, and in some cases even none at all.
