In fact, in many workplaces, process reports are generated for billing purpose.Ĭlick on ‘Report’ > ‘Archive’ to create a report to record the measurement values of our instrument. Other than trending, reports are very useful for data monitoring in SCADA system. Append the following scripts into the html file as shown. On the left menu, go to ‘Screen’ > ‘Trend’ > ‘Single Layer’ and reveal the pre-created html code page. Let’s include one of the tags created to understand how it works. Trending is another basic feature in SCADA for data monitoring purpose. Note that the “Log” attribute for tag ‘meter_value’ is configured in order to log the tag value into database for data monitoring purpose. In this training, 2 tags will be created to indicate an instrument’s measurement value and status. Tags are one of the main components in a SCADA system, they are variables created in both SCADA and PLC/RTU in order to pass parameters between instruments and SCADA. Step 3: Create New DeviceĬlick on the newly created I/O Port on the left menu.Ĭreate a new device in the table as shown below, choose Modbus from the dropdown Driver list. In this quick start guide, Ethernet port will be used to connect the device to SCADA via Modbus TCP/IP protocol.Īddress 127.0.0.1 indicates the localhost address. Next, add a new I/O port in the existing table content and enable it, as shown in following. On the left menu, click on element “IO Driver” to display the content in main window. Go to Start Menu > Ecava IGX, and launch IntegraXor Editor. Modbus Simulator ( One of the examples of Modbus Simulator).In this guide we will target the basic SCADA components:
This is a quick start guide on how to configure a very simple SCADA system using only a laptop / PC.
