Need for speed: Run multiple instances of equipment generator (EquipGen.exe) in parallel.

Thijs-Jan

Is it possible to run multiple instances of the equipment generator (EquipGen.exe) on one Computer on different core’s?
This to speed up the generation for example if an Equipment type is changed.

At a Customer we have a project where the equipment editor and generation is used (not my choice). This to create the Variable.dbf, trend.dbf and digalm.dbf. At this moment an “Update equipment” will cost hours, it does not matter if incremental update equipment is on or off, it is too long!

In the equipment there is some sort of logic, it is possible to split them over several projects.

I’m able to start by batch scrips a instance of the equipment editor to generate the DBF files on a specific project. See command below, REV_VBL is one of the project names. Running multiple instance at the same time by manually starting different batch file with different project name, fails.

Command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\AVEVA Plant SCADA\Bin\EquipGen.exe" /I"C:\ProgramData\AVEVA Plant SCADA 2023\Config\citect.ini" "REV_VBL" "C:\ProgramData\AVEVA Plant SCADA 2023\User\REV_VBL"

    Hi Geoffrey,

    good to read from you :).

    In that case I would try:
    - delete line 2
    it might be introduced for 2023 version - configuration parameters.

    If that doesn't work , replace in line 13 {type.name} with the actual name of the type template (E_ANAVALVE)

    Yes, removing the line 2 make the build works again but without any observable amelioration.

    Thank you,

  • Hello everyone,

    We'd like to announce that the July Update 07 for Plant SCADA 2023 includes some significant performance enhancements to tag/equip generation and update performance.

    Improvement times will vary depending upon the complexity of your templates and number of parameters, however, from the customer projects we have tested the changes with you won't have time for a coffee break.

    Please let us know if you still experience large delays in generation or updates.

    Here is a quick link to 2023 July Patch (Update 07) on GCS:

    Note: Unfortunately these changes cannot be backported ported to versions earlier than 2023.
