Integrity Genome Essentials provide interfaces, navigation methods and features for on-demand access to contextualized information about automation genealogy, change history, configuration defects and more.

Genome Essentials include the following:

The Foundation is the universal framework for aggregating and contextualizing data, capturing and archiving explicit knowledge from plant information sources, mapping the genealogy of dataflow, and compiling and generating reports.

Asset Hierarchy organizes the information contained within individual assets into a tree hierarchy. Root nodes of the tree are the configured assets providing drill down capabilities and an easy way to search for information when the desired information type is not known.

Reference Explorer provides details of interdependencies between various assets and data object types. The connections between the objects are displayed in textual or powerful graphical formats.

Genome Mapping provides a simple visualization for the complex configurations within and among automation systems. With the powerful block diagrams of Genome Mapping you can easily trace the genealogy of a signal flow from field instrumentation through the DCS, the historian, the advanced applications and into the management execution systems.

Smart Links searches selected text in Microsoft Office documents for occurrences within Integrity and then links that text to associated objects within the Integrity database.
Defect Finder executes predefined rules to identify configuration defects such as disabled alarms, missing references, or out of range parameter settings.
Change Tracker provides automated management of change functionality for automation systems configurations by tracking and displaying modifications. Differences between data versions are highlighted and time stamped.
Automation Spares Capacity displays spare capacity of points within control systems, as well as the spare capacity of I/O boards and other control system hardware. You can reserve spare slots for future use.
Email Explorer allows users to tag (designate) emails to be searched and shared within the application. Since the emails are tagged, Integrity is able to link and display them in context.
