模块的报警机制及报警概要功能的增强

iFIX 4.5 过程数据库模块提供了报警发生计数器，它可以记录两个应答之间报警变化的次数。操作者现在可以在确认最后一个实例之前，意识到报警周期的复杂性。为了支持这项功能，每个模块中都加入了两个新的数据库字段"A_ALMOCCUR" and "F_ALMOCCUR"， 以此来支持报警功能。此外，报警延伸的字段支持大写和小写数据。随着操作者经验的不断提升，报警概要显示功能也得到了增强。现在分栏字体是可选的，用户定义的字段现在也支持新的报警计数器，并且报警概要文本也支持动态语言切换。

自动报警管理器支持TCP/IP协议

自动报警管理器 （AAM）允许一台SCADA节点通过拨号或广域网的方式连接到一台远程客户端节点，然后传输报警信息。 传输成功时，可以自动收到报警信息。主备连接都提供支持。而过去的支持需要NetBIOS网络，iFIX 4.5中的AAM只需要TCP/IP通信协议。这一点对管理远程站点、建设管理系统或远程制作进程（例如在产生特殊气体或有井的现场）提供了非常好的支持。

增强的点击事件向导

新的多命令脚本向导支持使用一个或多个Command Experts来创建一系列命令，这些Experts是由这些事件类型中的一个触发的：鼠标点击图片中的一个对象，一个基于时间或事件的Scheduler条目，或一个关键宏命令。多命令脚本向导在后台生成VBA。所有由向导VBA生成的点击事件向导都可以在Visual Basic编辑器中进行自定义。该向导除了在使用方面尽可能的简便之外，也是一个学习VBA表达法的最有效方式，根据您的具体需要，按要求自动生成。

OPC 增强

现在的OPC服务器与OPC基础的“自测”程序是兼容的。在iFIX 4.5中，我们运行了一系列OPC测试来验证其兼容性。此外，iFIX 4.5过程数据库与OPC数据源进行的连接得到了很好的增强，该连接是通过OPC客户端驱动器浏览和标签选择实现的。经证实，使用过程数据库中块的OPC数据非常容易执行。

其它可以提升工程经验的加强功能

现在的iFIX支持高达24位的彩色图片分辨率。同时，iFIX支持在线文本编辑。VisiconX网格现在支持毫秒级的显示；比较典型的使用包括从Proficy的Historian中取回并显示毫秒级的报警信息。iFIX提供了带全搜索功能的在线帮助信息。通过提升系统配置工具，项目管理功能已经得到了加强。创建新的项目和管理现有项目都变得更容易且逻辑性更强。为了与您的Windows桌面风格保持一致，SCU也经过了升级。进入标签状态和快速趋势需点击右键，现在也在iFIX的安全控制之下。而且，iFIX继续支持FIX桌面，这在微软? Vista?中是有的，对于现有的FIX安装来说，提供了最理想的迁移路径。

Enhancement of the alarm mechanism and alarm summary function of the module

The iFIX 4.5 process database module provides an alarm occurrence counter that can record the number of alarm changes between two responses. The operator can now be aware of the complexity of the alarm cycle before confirming the last instance. In order to support this function, two new database fields "A_ALMOCCUR" and "F_ALMOCCUR" have been added to each module to support the alarm function. In addition, the alarm extension field supports both uppercase and lowercase data. With the continuous improvement of operator experience, the alarm summary display function has also been enhanced. The column font is now optional, and user-defined fields now support new alarm counters, and the alarm summary text also supports dynamic language switching.

The automatic alarm manager supports TCP/IP protocol

The Automatic Alarm Manager (AAM) allows a SCADA node to connect to a remote client node through dial-up or wide area network, and then transmit alarm information. When the transmission is successful, an alarm message can be automatically received. Both active and standby connections are supported. In the past, support required a NetBIOS network, while AAM in iFIX 4.5 only required TCP/IP communication protocol. This provides excellent support for managing remote sites, building management systems, or remote production processes (such as on-site production of special gases or wells).

Enhanced Click Event Wizard

The new multi command scripting wizard supports the use of one or more Command Experts to create a series of commands, which are triggered by one of these event types: mouse click on an object in the image, a time or event based scheduler entry, or a key macro command. The multi command script wizard generates VBA in the background. All click event wizards generated by wizard VBA can be customized in the Visual Basic editor. This wizard is not only as easy to use as possible, but also the most effective way to learn VBA expressions. It is automatically generated according to your specific needs and requirements.

OPC Enhancement

The current OPC server is compatible with the OPC basic "self testing" program. In iFIX 4.5, we ran a series of OPC tests to verify its compatibility. In addition, the connection between the iFIX 4.5 process database and the OPC data source has been greatly enhanced, which is achieved through OPC client driver browsing and label selection. It has been proven that using OPC data from blocks in the process database is very easy to execute.

Other strengthening functions that can enhance engineering experience

The current iFIX supports up to 24 bit color image resolution. Meanwhile, iFIX supports online text editing. The VisiconX grid now supports millisecond level display; A typical use includes retrieving and displaying millisecond level alarm information from Proficy's Historian. IFIX provides online help information with full search functionality. By improving system configuration tools, project management functions have been strengthened. Creating new projects and managing existing projects have become easier and more logical. In order to maintain consistency with your Windows desktop style, SCU has also been upgraded.

Yes, it provides the most ideal migration path for existing FIX installations.
