Managing equipment models
The Equipment Model Manager in the Industrial Workspace enables you to review and manage ISA-95 equipment model data. You use it to review imported equipment model data or to manually create an equipment model.
Equipment Model Manager in the Industrial Workspace
An equipment model maps the operational elements of a particular facility. For example, an industrial facility in Atlanta that stores materials, and uses them to produce cars. With the Equipment Model Manager, you can view
selected equipment model entities and any related records for specific industrial sites. The Equipment Model Manager contains the following functionalities to help you manage the equipment model entities in your OT environment:
- Viewing a graphical representation of an equipment model hierarchy and its relationship to other equipment model entities.
- Viewing or mapping upstream or downstream production processes.
- Reviewing child equipment model entities.
- Reviewing or associating additional OT devices with the selected equipment model entity.
- Adding child equipment model entities to your favorites and updating your view to show only your favorites.
- Keeping record context available when viewing or creating multiple records by opening the records in a single row of tabs.
Note:
Users with an assigned cmdb_ot_isa_admin role can view equipment model entities for any site. However, users with assigned cmdb_ot_isa_editor or cmdb_ot_isa_viewer roles can only access those sites that an
administrator has granted access to for specific users. To learn more about granting site access, see Assign or remove equipment model site access for non-administrators.
