Wonderware ArchestrA Object Toolkit 3.2

Wonderware ArchestrA Object Toolkit (by Invensys) is a developer toolkit for creating custom, reusable automation objects that integrate natively with the Wonderware System Platform (ArchestrA). It enables OEMs, system integrators, and advanced users to encapsulate control logic, device communications, and engineering standards into configurable objects that are deployed, versioned, and managed through the Galaxy Repository alongside standard System Platform content.

Key capabilities:

• Custom application objects and templates: Define attributes, methods, scripts, parameters, and behaviors that behave like native ArchestrA objects, including support for inheritance, versioning, and reuse.
• Device integration objects: Build drivers and connectors for proprietary equipment and protocols, exposing data points as object attributes while leveraging System Platform’s diagnostics and management.
• Native platform services: Surface alarms, events, security, and historization through standard ArchestrA mechanisms, enabling consistent operations, auditing, and reporting.
• Seamless engineering and deployment: Integrate with the ArchestrA IDE for configuration, packaging, and automated deployment to target nodes and engines.
• .NET and COM APIs: Use documented SDKs, examples, and wizards to develop in environments such as C#/.NET, with hooks for diagnostics and troubleshooting.
• HMI and historian connectivity: Bind object attributes to InTouch/ArchestrA Graphics and historize data with Wonderware Historian without additional glue code.

Typical uses include creating standardized equipment modules, wrapping proprietary device protocols, embedding domain best practices into libraries, and accelerating project delivery by reusing validated templates across sites and projects.

Benefits:

• Shorter engineering cycles through reuse and templating
• Lower lifecycle costs via centralized management and version control
• Consistent operations thanks to unified alarming, security, and history
• Easier maintenance and scalability as systems evolve

Developed by Invensys (Wonderware), the ArchestrA Object Toolkit extends System Platform with a robust, object-oriented approach to industrial application development while preserving native manageability, deployment, and runtime performance.

Wonderware ArchestrA Object Toolkit is developed by Invensys. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 3.1 and 3.2. The name of the program executable file is aaIDE.exe.
