Configuring and using

1. Create an output transport of the type "Sockets" or "Serial" and set its Identifier like to "goboy", 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...247] — to logical address of the device on the bus under the transport in Step 1.
  • 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 months — set to the value archiver whole ID like to "FSArch.1m" for an archiver with data quality-period in 86400 seconds — create one at missing.
  • Currents try period — to reading period of current values and last archive values.
  • Time limit of processing of archiving — to time limit of execution the procedure during archives reading.
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 and configuration — to reset positions of the archive reading.
  • Current time — to time on PLC.
  • Count hour — account hour of day.
