Configuring and using
- 1. Create an output transport of the type "Sockets" or "Serial" and set its Identifier like to "pilot", one for each the device.
- 2. Set proper address and timeouts of the Sockets or Serial device.
- 3. Create and start a logical controller object or a ModBus controller object or use any present one with need scheduling properties.
- 4. Create a logical parameter object and select the template for that, one for each the devices — enable the parameter.
- 5. Into the tab "Template configuration" of the logical parameter object you need to set:
- Transport — to the address of the created transport in Step 1. Leave the field empty for the ModBus controller object. Tracing for the address changing is supported.
- Device address [0...255] — to logical address of the device on the bus under the transport in Step 1.
- Connection try time — to time of try and restore loss connections.
- OpenSCADA archiver for device's archive of hours — set to the value archiver whole ID like to "FSArch.1h" for an archiver with data quality-period in 3600 seconds — create one at missing.
- OpenSCADA archiver for device's archive of days — set to the value archiver whole ID like to "FSArch.1d" for an archiver with data quality-period in 86400 seconds — create one at missing.
- OpenSCADA archiver for device's archive of ALARMS — set to the message archiver whole ID like to "FSArch.alarms" for an archiver — create one at missing.
- OpenSCADA archiver for device's archive of AUDIT — set to the message archiver whole ID like to "FSArch.audit" for an archiver — create one at missing.
- Archive time zone — to timezone of the remote archives' time.
- Poll events (ALARMS and AUDITS) time — to time of checking new alarms and audits.
- Read tables set — to reading setting tables by lines in the format "{tblN}:{pgN}:{updPer}:{reqSubStr}".
- 6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will perform interaction and placing of gathered data to the parameter attributes and archives.
- 7. In the process of the working, through the tab "Archiving" you have to select the archiving parameters in the used archivers to create the representative archives.
- 8. ... through the tab "Attributes" of operational data, in addition to obtaining the result, it is possible to perform operative setup and control on:
- Reset the archives reading — to reset positions of the archive reading.
