Configuring and using

1. Create an output transport of the type "Serial" or "Sockets", and set its Identifier like to "fgas", one for each the devices' used serial bus.
2. Set proper address and timeouts of the 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 the devices on one bus — 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.
  • ModBus type (for the logical controller object) — to the ModBus protocol type/variant from the list RTU, ASCII, TCP — set to RTU.
  • ModBus maximum block size (for the logical controller object) — to the ModBus protocol package data maximum size in the range [10...200].
  • OpenSCADA archiver for device's archive of hours — set here the archive used for storing the hourly (3600 seconds) values — enables the hour archive reading.
  • Time limit of processing the archiving, seconds — change here the default safety timeout.
6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will: perform interaction and placing of gathered data to the parameter attributes, dynamically create needed attributes accordingly to the attribute "Items set" value and perform interaction and placing of gathered data to the parameter attributes. Also you are able to change for writable attributes.
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 and configuration — to reset positions of the archive reading.
