Configuring and using
- 1. Create an output transport of the type "Sockets" or "Serial" and set its Identifier like to "TDS", one for each the device.
- 2. Set proper address and timeouts of the Sockets or Serial device — the symbol/next timeout must be big enough for archives reading since the response packages can come with the interval about 5 seconds.
- 3. Create and start a logical 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. 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.
- Currents try period — to reading period of current values and last archive values.
- 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.
- 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.
