March 2020 Quick Start Guide

1 Overview

Thank you for choosing Plantweb Insight. This document guides you
through initial set up of the software platform. For more details and
configuration information on specific applications, refer to the Plantweb
Insight Reference Manual.

Before installing Plantweb Insight be sure you have one of the required
virtualization software/hypervisor set up and running correctly. Compatible
virtualization softwares/hypervisors are listed in the System requirements
section of this document.

Quick Start Guide 3

Quick Start Guide March 2020

2 System requirements

Plantweb Insight is delivered as a fully developed virtual machine (e.g. .ova
file). Users will receive a complete virtual machine image to install in user
provided virtualization software or hypervisors.

The Plantweb Insight virtual machine contains a web server that can be
accessed by any web client with network access. All configuration and
visualization will be completed from the web browser user interface.

Plantweb Insight can be installed on a network server or PC/laptop. Both
installations have the same requirements and installation steps. Network
connection settings can be made subject to organization policies. Any
pertinent Gateways must be accessible on the network.

Before you begin, verify your system meets the minimum requirements.

• VMware Workstation Pro™ 10 or higher (requirements can be found

here)

• VMware vSphere® 5.5 or higher (requirements can be found here)

OR

• Contact Rosemount™ support if utilizing a different virtualization

software (Microsoft® Hyper-V®)

Connecting to Gateway

Procedure

1. Navigate to System Settings → Data Sources → Gateway
Connections.

2. Select the Add Gateway button.

3. Enter the IP Address, Port, and Description and select Save.

Note

HART-IP™ Port 5094.

Ensure both HART-IP TCP and HART-IP UDP are enabled in the
Gateway.

Connecting to an OPC UA® server

Procedure

1. Navigate to System Settings → Data Sources → OPC UA Server
Connections.

March 2020 Quick Start Guide

2. Select Add OPC UA Server button.

3. Enter the IP Address, Port, Tag, and Description and select Save.

Note

The OPC UA Port in Plantweb Insight is designated as 4880 (the OPC
UA Server must be set up for this port). Plantweb Insight uses a
opc.tcp:// connection to the OPC UA Server. Tag and Description are
used for explanatory reasons only. The IP address field will only
accept IP addresses and will not accept full URLs (it assumes the
opc.tcp://). The OPC UA Server must be configured to security
configuration “none”. The OPC UA Server must be configured for
“allow anonymous login”.

5.5 Network configuration (optional)

Important

Use caution when making changes to IP network settings. If they are lost or
improperly configured, it may be difficult to log into the application. Contact
the network administrator for information on the proper IP network settings
to apply.

Plantweb Insight contains two network interfaces. Only network interface 1
allows web client access. Network interface 1 will be associated to network
adapter 1 of the virtual machine. Network interface 2 will be associated to
network adapter 2 of the virtual machine. Network interface 2 is non­routable.

The second network adapter needs to be configured in VMware
Workstation/vSphere to activate the functionality of the second network.

To change IP Network Settings:

Procedure

1. Navigate to System Settings → Platform Settings → Ethernet
Communication.

2. To change network interface 1, select Static IP Address.

3. Enter the following:

• Hostname

• IP Address

• Netmask

• Gateway

4. To enable network interface 2, select the enable check box.

5. Select Static IP Address.

7 Application configuration

There are a few configuration steps that are consistent across specific
Plantweb Insight applications. These are briefly discussed below. More
information about configuration can be found in the Plantweb Insight

Reference Manual.

Note

All configuration mentioned below is specific to Plantweb Insight. Changes
will not be communicated to the Gateway or devices.

7.1 Global settings

Each application contains specific global settings that should be set before
any asset configuration. Global settings apply to all assets. These settings
could include units used for inputs (e.g. inlet pressure units), units used for
calculations (e.g. currency), or key performance indicators to be tracked on
the dashboard (e.g. overall health index).

7.2 Adding assets

There are two ways to add assets. The options are discussed below.

Configuration of devices occurs during addition of assets.

7.2.1 Add an asset

Use this method to add a single asset.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the Asset Summary tab and select the Add an Asset
button.

2. Complete all information on the New Asset modal window and select
Save.

Note

Depending on the application, it will likely take a period of time for
the calculations to begin processing.

Adding a measurement point

There are multiple ways to configure variables to certain assets. They are
described below.

Procedure

1. Wireless Device from an Emerson Wireless Gateway.

Depending on the application, wireless devices can either be added
using a drop-down list or a search function.

14 Emerson.com/Rosemount

March 2020 Quick Start Guide

• For applications requiring specific devices, the devices can be

added by selecting the appropriate device via a drop-down list.
The drop-down list will contain all devices with the pertinent
device type.

• For applications with generic measurements (pressure,

temperature, flow, etc.) the wireless devices can be added using
the following procedure.

a. Select Source: HART-IP

b. Begin to type the device tag. After a few characters, a

drop-down list of recognized devices will appear. Select
the pertinent device.

c. Select the pertinent variable (ex: PV).

2. OPC-UA tags

OPC-UA tags can be set up for certain measurement points.

• Select Source: OPC-UA

• Select the pertinent OPC-UA server

• Type in the complete path to the pertinent measurement point

(ex: Objects/Devices/OPC_Server1/3051S/PV)

a. Use forward slashes, "/", for path breaks.

b. The entire path is case sensitive.

3. Manual input

Manual inputs should be used sparingly for measurement points.
They should only be considered for known consistent conditions
(motor speed).

Quick Start Guide 15

Quick Start Guide March 2020

• Select Source: Manual

• Type in the manual value

• Select the pertinent units

7.2.2 Import asset config

Use this method to add/edit multiple assets at the same time.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the Asset Summary tab and select the Import Asset
Config button.

2. Select Download asset configuration and download the csv file.

Note

If there are no assets configured, select the Empty File box.

3. Complete the csv file and save files.

Note

Data fields have strict requirements for entries; these can be found in
Import Specs File.

4. Browse and upload the csv file via the Import Asset Config modal
window and select Save.

5. Check all assets were successfully downloaded.

6. If assets fail download, check all fields are filled out correctly and
download again.
