The System Display window provides an overview of the entire system in the form of a spreadsheet. Columns in this spreadsheet will display the station name, levels and status inputs along with the appropriate alarm/status background color: Red Yellow Blue Magenta White discrete alarms, pump fails or high level alarms pump calls and discrete input ON status low level alarms rate of change alarms no alarm or input OFF status Station Name All station names currently selected for display will appear in the first column and will have a Grey background color. The background color will be different whenever the user has added a station note with a special color. The text color will change to Red if the station is in Loss-Of-Signal. Analog Input Columns Analog Input levels will be displayed in the next 8 columns if they are selected for display. Column labels with be AI1-AI8 by default. The background color will change based on the alarm status for that input. Flow Rate/Total Columns The next 3 columns are used for Flow Rate, 24 Hour Flow Total and Flow Total. The background color for these will change based on the flow rate/total alarm status. Discrete Input Columns All discrete inputs selected for display will be shown next in the spreadsheet. Column labels for the first six inputs will default to DI1DI6 and the expansion module inputs will default to EI1-EI32. Controlled outputs such as pumps will be set up as “Call/Run/Fail” so that a label will be changed based on the pump’s status (i.e. P1O for pump #1 Off, P1C for pump #1 Call, and P1F for pump #1 Fail). Status inputs will show their label whenever they are on along with the status color as the background. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 3 System Display Station List By clicking the right mouse button on the system display, the following options can be selected depending of the option clicked on: Right-Click and select “Station List…” A selection window showing all the stations in the system will be displayed. Click on the checkbox next to the station name to show or hide a particular station. Close the setup screen when finished. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 4 System Display Column Setup Right-Click and select “Column Setup…” A selection window showing the display labels and checkbox for each data column is shown. Change the column labels by typing in a new label in the “Column Label” text box. Click on the checkbox to show or hide a particular column of data. Columns can also be re-ordered by clicking on Move Up or Move Down. Click Save to save all the changes. Clicking on the “Highlight Color...” button will bring up the following screen that allows the alternating row hightlight color to be selected. Click on color desired and click OK to save the change. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 5 Station Display & Control The Station Display allows an operator to view all information and make changes to control parameters on a remote station. Note – how to make control changes Making changes to setpoints is accomplished by clicking in the text box, typing the new value and pressing Enter. Pressing the Enter key tells the DDE server application to send the change to the CTU. Changing other parameters such as the HOA controls is done by just clicking the combo box and selecting the new mode. Pressing Enter is not required in this case. Name The name given to the remote station being displayed. Changing this selector or the ID selector will change the current station being viewed. ID The 2-character address of the station being displayed (HH-WW). Station Notes Button Clicking on this button will bring up a text editor for typing notes related to the station. A status color can also be chosen in the editor that will make the button color change as well as the background color for the station name on the System Display. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 6 Information is presented in (4) separate panels that will show different items based on the choice made in the Display selector. Also, double-clicking the title of each panel will cause it to switch between options. The following is a list of what each panel will do: Upper left panel This panel shows information related to analog input/output levels and settings. The name of each input used will appear on the left. The other columns will change based on the option being viewed: Analog Inputs Value Units Status The most recent level reading for the input The unit of measure i.e. PSI, FEET etc. The most recent status change or alarm i.e. RISE, FALL, HIGH, LOW, RATE High/Low Alarm Setpoints High Low Rate User setpoint for the high level alarm User setpoint for the low level alarm User setpoint for the rate-of-change alarm Hi-Hi/Lo-Lo Alarm Setpoints Hi-Hi Lo-Lo User setpoint for a high-high level alarm User setpoint for a low-low level alarm Analog Outputs Value User setpoint for an analog output sent to the remote SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 7 Upper right panel This panel shows information related to discrete inputs at the remote station. These inputs are used as status/alarm inputs i.e. Pump Run, pressure alarms etc. In addition to viewing the status of the inputs, controlled discrete outputs may be changed between Hand, Off, and Auto. Discrete Inputs SYS System HOA status. This is a final decision of all other HOAs in the system. It will show either HAND, OFF or AUTO for each controlled device. RTU Remote HOA status when used. The remote station would be wired with an HOA whose status will be reported back to the CTU on the Expansion Inputs. Mode The current mode of a controlled output (pump). Four modes are possible: STBY = pump is off and available for use DSBL = pump is disabled FAIL = pump has failed to run CALL = pump is being called by the CTU Status The current status of the input. Pumps will always show either OFF or RUN in this column. Other discrete inputs will display a user-defined label when an input in on. Hand/Off/Auto Controls HOA Selectors User selection for the mode of each controlled device: HAND – turns the device ON OFF – turns the device OFF AUTO – lets the system control the device based on stop/start setpoints Note: Other selection options may be available (i.e. OPEN/CLOSE, ON/OFF etc.) SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 8 Expansion Inputs 1-16 and 17-32 The name and the input status label are displayed for each device (Expansion Inputs are optional discrete inputs on RTUs) Pump Maintenance - Runtime Alarms The current number of runtime hours can be entered here for each discrete input along with an alarm setpoint. The time will automatically increment in tenths of hours whenever the discrete input is “ON”. When the time reaches the setpoint, a “RUNTIME ALARM” is generated. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 9 Lower left panel This panel shows information related to pulse input levels (flow rate and totals) as well as the alarm settings. The name of each input used will appear on the left. The other columns will change based on the option being viewed: Pulse Inputs Value Units Status The most recent flow rate / total readings. The unit of measure (usually GPM and GAL) Alarm status (HIGH, LOW) Pulse Alarms and Setup High Low SCLRate SCLTotal Calc Button Change Totalizer SCADAview 32 User settings for HIGH flow rate or high 24hr total User settings for LOW flow rate or low 24hr total Scaling value for CTU computation of flow rates (C2000 and earlier) Scaling value for CTU computation of flow total (C2000 and earlier) Calculator for computing the required SCLRate and SCLTotal values given pulses/gallon, full scale and totalizer increment. The current totalizer reading can be changed here to match a hardware totalizer. Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 10 Remote Station Commands Poll Now Button Clicking this button will cause the CTU to skip all the remaining stations in it’s polling list and start over with the selected station. Be careful using this option since it will change the sync timing when used in a system with 2 or more centrals. Setpoints Click this button to bring up a window that allows reading setpoints from and sending setpoints to the RTU. These remote setpoints may be used for backup control or whatever the user wants based on how they are used in RTU Script. This option will only work with S3000/S4000 and later RTUs. Accumulators Click this button to display a window that allows reading and writing of remote accumulator variables (X17-X24). These may be used for pump runtimes, flow totals etc. Virtual HOAs This will bring up a window that allows reading/writing of remote station variables X9-X16 treated like Hand/Off/Auto controls. (0=off, 1=Hand, 2=Auto) Real-Time Clock If the remote station is RTU32 or later, this will allow the station’s clock to be read back and then set to match the PC’s clock. Change Totalizer If the station is RTU32 or later and the flow total value is being computed out at the remote, this will allow the flow total value to be changed. Note: The totalizer is usually displayed in 1000 gallon increments. Control Mode SCADAview 32 Normal or Override. Override will take control away from a second central in a 2-CTU system or take control of a “poll for data only” RTU. Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 11 Lower right panel This panel will show all other status information related to the station. Only one panel option is currently available. RTU Status The current status of the remote (Normal, Override or LOS) Override means that a CTU has placed the remote in Override mode. LOS means that the station has stopped responding. This also is displayed in the Data Status. CTU Status The current status of the central (Normal, Monitor or Override) Monitor means that this CTU does not control the remote. Override means this CTU has taken over control of the remote from the other CTU. Data Status The status of all the displayed data from the remote. Valid means that the data is less that 1 polling cycle old. Old means the data is more than 1 polling cycle old. LOS means the station has not responded for a programmed number of cycles. CTU Time The central’s time when the remote data was last received. Error Messages Misc. status/warning messages will appear in red. If the message “DDE Link Error” is displayed, this usually means you need to launch the CTU DDE Server. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 12 Control Group Stop/Start Setpoints The Control Group Stop/Start Setpoints window allows an operator to change the starting and stopping levels for any control group in the system. A “Control Group” is a collection of controlling levels (usually an analog input from a remote station such as a tank level) and controlled devices (usually pumps or valves at another remote station). Note – how to make changes Making changes to setpoints is accomplished by clicking in the text box, typing the new value and pressing Enter. Pressing the Enter key tells the DDE server application to send the change to the CTU. Changing other parameters such as the Controlling Levels is done by just clicking the box to select the new mode. Pressing Enter is not required in this case. If the control group is located at the remote then buttons for Read / Send will appear above the setpoints that allow the operator to change the setpoints at the remote. Name The name of the control group is shown and selected here. The control group can also be selected by #. Control Setpoints Normal control groups have up to eight sets of stop/start setpoints on this screen; the eight are shown down the left-hand side of the window. The stop/start setpoints are values entered by the operator to determine at what value the corresponding controlled device will either stop or start. Alternator Use the mouse to select the alternator sequence for the control group. The alternator determines the mode of operation for the controlled devices. The choices are: Forward Reverse Auto All Device one is always first Last device is always first Alternation sequence beginning with the first device and continuing through all available devices Same as Auto. (This used to turn on ALL controlled outputs. This has been changed in all versions of CTU code as of 6/23/97) Fail Reset Button If a device fails, the system automatically chooses the next device available (in auto mode) to control. The system will not try the failed device again until the operator resets the failed device(s) by clicking on this button. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 13 Time Clock Controls Pre-Fill Enter the pre-fill rate (feet per hour) at which the tank fills when the pump is running. It will be used to determine when the controlled device will come on prior to the time that inhibit is activated. This will allow the system to top-off the tank using the lead control level setpoint prior to inhibiting the control group. The pre-fill value is used whenever Time Inhibit/Restore operation is also enabled. Time Inhibit Enter a time in 24-hour time (i.e. 1:00 PM would be entered as 1300) and press Enter. The inhibit time is the time of day that the control group is inhibited from controlling any devices. Time Restore Enter a time in 24-hour time and press Enter to continue. The restore time is the time of day that the control group is put back in control again. Override Enter the stop and start values for which you want control to be reinstated temporarily for one controlled device during Time Inhibit because of a very low level. The stop setpoint determines when to inhibit the control again. Controlling Level Selection Use the mouse to toggle each of the eight controlling level ON or OFF. Each control group has corresponding controlling levels. These values determine when the device they control should turn on or off. All levels that are currently being used for control should be set to ON. The pumps or other controlled devices will run until the setpoints for ALL the levels selected are reached. The scaling factor for the control group setpoints will also be determined based on which controlling level is selected. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 14 Alarms Acknowledging Alarms To acknowledge alarms, press the F4 key or select the “Acknowledge Alarms” option from the “Alarms” menu. The time, date, alarm description and current user name will be added to the Alarm/Status log. Alarm/Status Options The Alarm/Status Options setup window is selected from the Setup menu. These setup options allow an administrator to change the behavior of the alarm system. Alarm Sounds The sounds selected will be played every 6.5 seconds whenever an alarm occurs and has not been acknowledged. Alarm sounds for Pump Fails, LOS Alarms and Level Alarms can be different from the main alarm sound. If these special alarm sound files are not selected, the main sound will be used instead. Select the .WAV sound files using the Select… button and then click on the “Test” button to try the sound. Status Logging Sound The sound selected will be played once whenever a status event occurs and the Status Logging option below is turned on. Select the .WAV sound file using the Select… button and then click on the “Test” button to try the sound. Alarm Display Jump When this option is turned on, the Station Display window will be opened to the alarming station. Status Logging This option will save status changes (pumps going on, going off, and other non-alarm inputs) to the Alarm/Status Log file as well as the alarms. Log Setpoint Changes When an operator makes a change to a control setpoint or HOA, this will get saved to the Alarm/Status Log file if this option is turned on. CTU Alarm Horn When this option is turned on, the CTU DDE Server application will be told to turn ON the CTU alarm horn output whenever an alarm occurs. It will be turned back off when the operator hits the Alarm Acknowledge in SCADAview. The output used is DO7 on the C2000 Single-Board CTU. CTU Alarm Ack If this option is on, the CTU alarm horn will be silenced whenever the operator hit the Alarm Acknowledge in SCADAview. This will acknowledge any CTU-generated alarms. CTU Phone Dialer SCADAview 32 When this option is on, the CTU DDE Server application will be told to turn ON the CTU phone dialer output whenever an alarm occurs. It will be turned back off when the operator hits the Alarm Acknowledge in SCADAview. The output used is DO6 on the C2000 Single-Board Central. Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 15 CTU Ext Alarm Ack If this option is checked, the CTU DDE Server will toggle the phone dialer output on the CTU board ON and OFF twice whenever the operator presses Alarm Acknowledge in SCADAview. This can be used to acknowledge another piece of equipment such as a PLC. Print Alarms Alarms will be logged to a line printer when this option is selected. Printer Port The printer port to which alarms/status changes will be printed. To work properly, the printer should be an Epson compatible dot-matrix line printer attached to the selected LPT port. Include Status Logging Information If this is checked and the “Status Logging” option is turned on, the status information will also be printed. Otherwise only alarms or alarm acknowledgments are printed. Active Alarms Window Selecting “Active Alarms” from the “View” menu shows the Active Alarms list. This window will show all the current alarms. Alarms that have not been acknowledged will be shown in Red. The list can be re-sized and scrolled through with the mouse. Double clicking on an alarm line will bring up the Station Display for that alarm. Right-clicking will allow acknowledgement of individual alarms as well as selecting stations whose alarms are to be disabled: SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 16 Alarm/Status Event Log Selecting this option from the “View” menu shows the Alarm/Status Event Log window. The Alarm log is stored in a monthly file. By default, ALL stations from the current year, month and day are selected. These options can then be changed to show any desired period of time. The “Order” option will select how the alarms will be sorted (reverse = most recent alarm first). The “Search” option will find and display only the lines containing the given text (case sensistive). This report also shows the number of events for the given time period and can be printed to the default printer. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 17 Reports The following describes how to use the built-in reporting options found in SCADAview for Windows. These are selected from either the toolbar or from the “View” menu. Analog Graph (Single) This is a chart that will show a single level for a selected period of time. The user options include: Station Name Analog Type Month Day Year SCADAview 32 Selected station to be graphed. This will default to the current station selected in the Station Display. Selected analog (level) name to be graphed. This defaults to the first analog input (usually AI1). Three selections are currently available – 1 Day, 2 Day, 7 Day and 31 Day. These set the horizontal scale for the graph. The month for the data being graphed. The starting day for the data being graphed. The year for the data being graphed. Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 18 Double-Clicking on the graph or Right-Clicking and selecting from the pop-up menu will allow the Data Readout to be shown or hidden. The Data Readout will display the exact analog level for each readout line along with statistics for the range between the two lines. The station’s discrete input runtimes for DI1-DI6 are also shown (useful in determining when pumps were running, alarms were active, etc.). To change the selected time, click and drag the readout lines. Right-Clicking on the graph will also show the following options: Change Data Color Graph Window Size Select History File… Export Data… SCADAview 32 Normally the data color for valid data is blue and LOS data is gray. Several other color options are provided in this pop-up menu. Provides a convenient way to resize the graph to a Standard setting (Normal, 125%, 150% etc). Resizing can also be done by dragging the lower right corner of the window. Allows the operator to select a data file from an alternate location (network drive, floppy drive etc.) After the file has been selected, it’s directory will be used as the default for other data selections. The data files are usually stored in the C:\STATS\ directory and are named “HCCMMMYY.ID” where MMM is the month, YY is the year and ID is the station address. This option will save a comma delimited file (.CSV) containing the data being displayed on the graph. The file can be imported into any spreadsheet or graphing program such as Microsoft® Excel. Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 19 Analog Graph (Multi-Pen) This is a chart that will show up to 12 different levels from up to 12 different stations for a selected period of time. User options include: Month The month for the data being graphed. Day The day for the data being graphed. Year The year for the data being graphed. Type How many days to display (1, 2 or 7 Day and Hi-Res if 1-min logging is enabled) Load... Opens a pen setup file that was previously saved. These setup files store the Station Name and Analog for all the pens being used. Save... Saves a pen setup file will a filename provided by the user. (filename “Startup.pen” for auto-load) Pens 1-12 (Blue, Green, Read, Yellow, Orange, Black, Magenta and Cyan etc.) Station Name Selected station to be graphed using this pen color. Analog Analog from the above station to be graphed. Double clicking on the graph or Right-Clicking and selecting from the pop-up menu will allow the Data Readout to be shown or hidden. The Data Readout will display all analog level pens used for the 6-minute time period selected. To change the selected time, click and drag the readout line to a new position. Right clicking on the graph will also show a pop-up menu selection that will link this graph with the other graphs. When graphs are linked, the data readout will move in sync and changes made to the Month, Day and Year will happen on all visible graphs. Note: Saving a pen file named “Startup.pen” in the application directory will cause this to be automatically loaded. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 20 Discrete Event Graph This chart will display up to 8 different discrete inputs from up to 8 different stations for a selected 24 hour period. The user options are the same as for the Analog Graph (Multi-Pen) except that the pen selectors will show the station’s discrete input labels instead of analogs. Double clicking on the graph or Right-Clicking and selecting from the pop-up menu will allow the Data Readout to be shown or hidden. The Data Readout will display all discrete event pens used along with the total ON times (in hours) and # of ON cycles for all data up to the selected time. To change the selected time, click and drag the readout line to a new position. Right clicking on the graph will also show a pop-up menu selection that will link this graph with the other graphs. When graphs are linked, the data readout will move in sync and changes made to the Month, Day and Year will happen on all visible graphs. Note: Saving a pen file named “Startupd.pen” in the application directory will cause this to be automatically loaded. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 21 X-Y Graph The X-Y graph will display two analog inputs in the form of X-Y data points for a selected 24 hour period. This type of graph can be used to show relationships between analogs such as pressure vs. flow (pump curves). Double clicking on the graph or Right-Clicking and selecting from the pop-up menu will allow the Data Readout to be shown or hidden. Clicking on a data point will highlight it in Red and show the X,Y location. Right clicking on the graph will also show a pop-up menu selection that will link this graph with the other graph types. When the graphs are linked, the data readout will move in sync and changes made to the Month, Day and Year will happen on all visible graphs. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 22 Pump Runtime Report This report will compute and display runtimes for discrete inputs DI1-DI6 and expansion inputs EI1-EI32. In addition to pump runtimes, it will also show the minimum, maximum and average flow rate and the total flow for a selected period of time. The user simply selects the station name, year and the starting and ending day and time. All runtimes are shown in hours and tenths of hours. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 23 Analog Report This report will compute and display the minimum, maximum, average and non-zero average analog input level (AI1 through AI8) for a selected period of time. The user selects the station name, year and the starting and ending day and time. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 24 Daily Pump Report This report uses a file that is updated every midnight and stores daily totals for Pump Runtimes, minimum Flow Rate, maximum Flow Rate, non-zero average Flow Rate and Flow Total. The report window will display the lines from this file based on the time period selected along with grand total numbers for each item at the bottom. Both a “Text” and “HTML” style report is available. Clicking the timer icon for “scheduled actions” will show the following setup window: Reports can be automatically printed or emailed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 25 Custom Daily Reports This report uses a file that is updated every midnight and stores custom daily numbers for Pump Runtimes, minimum Flow Rate, maximum Flow Rate, non-zero average Flow Rate and Flow Total etc. The report window will display the lines from this file based on the time period selected along with grand total numbers for each item at the bottom. Both a “Text” and “HTML” style report is available. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 26 Custom Daily Reports Setup Up to 50 user-defined Daily Reports can be updated every midnight (or at a custom Log Time) with 24-hour summary data columns. The stations and data points can be selected for up to 250 columns to be written to a comma-separated file (Microsoft Excel compatible). The first column in the report will always be the date in the format MM/DD/YYYY. SQL database servers can also be updated with this data if so desired. They will need to be set up seperately and must provide an ODBC data connector. Tested servers include Microsoft SQL, PostgreSQL and MySQL. This reporting option is defined by selecting “Custom Daily Reports” from the Setup menu in the SCADAview 32 Configuration program. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 27 Custom Timed Reports Setup A user-defined Timed Report can be updated at any given rate (minimum of 1 minute) with live station data. The stations and data points can be selected for up to 250 columns to be written to a comma-separated file (Microsoft Excel compatible). If the “OPS 32 Compatible Files” option is checked, the filename and format will be made compatible with the OPS 32 Operations and Maintenance software package from OPS Systems. If “Monthly File” is checked, a new file will be started each month and the filename will end with MM-YYYY (month-year). This reporting option is defined by selecting “Custom Timed Reports” from the Setup menu in the SCADAview 32 Configuration program. SQL database servers can also be updated with this data if so desired. They will need to be set up seperately and must provide an ODBC data connector. Tested servers include Microsoft SQL, PostgreSQL and MySQL. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 28 Exporting Historical Data Station data for a given period of time can be exported to a file for use in another program such as Microsoft Excel. Select the “Export History Files” from the Tools menu in SCADAview. The following options are available: Station Name Date and Time Exported Data Columns Include Column Headings Resolution File Type The name of the station containing the data to be exported. Starting and ending Year, Month, Day and Hour for the exported data. Only the input names checked will be exported to the file in the order listed. When checked, the file will start with a line containing the names of each column Including the Date and Time columns (these will always be the first two columns). Time step for the exported data (6-Minute is the maximum resolution). The text file can be either comma-seperated or tab-delimted. Microsoft Excel seems to work best with comma-sperated files. Sample comma-seperated (CSV) with Column Headings (as viewed in Microsoft Excel): DATE TIME TANK LEVEL WATER TEMP 5/1/1999 0:00:00 36.4 46 5/1/1999 0:06:00 36.4 46 5/1/1999 0:12:00 36.4 46 5/1/1999 0:18:00 36.4 46 5/1/1999 0:24:00 36.4 46 SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc.

You should click this when you are finished making changes. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 30 General Setup Address Name Label Equation The two letter code (HH-WW) assigned by Micro-Comm for the station when setting up a new system. Enter the name of this station (up to 20 characters). This name will be displayed on all screens and reports dealing with this station. Enter a 3-character label for this station. Sometimes the station address is used for this label as well. Analog equations may be entered that will take analog values and add, subtract, multiply and divide by other analog values or constants and place the result into an unused analog input. Some examples are shown below: C=A+B This would make analog input C equal to A+B (Analog A refers to AI1, B refers to AI2 and so forth.) C=A+100,D=B+100 F=A1+A2+A3 This shows how to access other stations. A1 refers to analog A from station #1, A2 is analog A from station #2 and so on. The station number is it’s position in the computer’s list. This can be found by counting down from the top of a station name selection menu. G=A*B+10.2 In this example, the multiplication is done first and then the addition. Multiplication and division always will take precedence over addition and subtraction. H=(A-B)*C^.5 This shows how you can used parentheses and the raise-to-power operator (^). This shows how to do two equations at once by separating them with a comma. NOTE: The result of an equation will need to be placed in an analog that has been set up with a proper range and preset value. For instance, if you add two values with a scale of 0 to 25.5 (range=0.1), the result will need to have scale of 0 to 51.0 (range=0.2). Data Source The DDE server application that will be used to acquire data for the station. Currently the choices are: CTU – Used with Micro-Comm PLCs, C2000 or card rack centrals Equation – Data will only be from the Equation (as shown above) RTU – RTUs polled directly using a radio or dialup modem, or just listens to reply messages DF1 – Allen-Bradley PLCs or other devices using the DF1 protocol (full or half-duplex) Modbus - Modicon PLC or other devices using Modbus RTU protocols 2nd CTU - Micro-Comm PLC or C2000 on another COM port SCADAview TCP - A remote SCADAview 32 machine station SV-PLC Server - PLC data server (including CTU32) 1-Minute History Logging If this option is checked, historical files for this station will be saved every minute as well as the normal 6 minute intervals. This will give the graphs and reports a much finer resolution, but will also result in more space being used up each month on the hard drive. Local Expanded Data This is used for stations located in the CTU that have been set up to support expanded data. More analog inputs, outputs and flow information can then be gathered for this station. More label option tabs will appear to allow label and scaling to be set up. Note: SV-PLC server and new CTU32 firmware is required for this to work. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 31 Analogs AI1-AI8 (Analog Inputs A-H) AO1-AO2 (Analog Outputs 1 and 2) Name This is the label used on all reports and displays to name each analog input. This is also the message printed when the analog is in an alarm state. Enter a label (up to 15 characters) in this field. Preset Preset the starting raw value for an analog (three digits). To allow scales that don’t begin at zero, you may enter from negative -99 to 999. Range Enter the range for the scaling factor. For analog inputs, the range is the multiplier that is used on the 0 to FF hex (255 decimal) value the CTU returns to the PC. For example: If the CTU analog value of 255 is to be displayed as 51 ft, the range would be 0.2 (255 x Range = Full Scale of Measured/Displayed Value). Units Enter up to a 5-character unit of measure for this analog (FEET, PSI, GPM etc.) Label Enter up to a 3- character abbreviation for this analog (LVL, DP, SP etc.) High Res This checkbox is used to combine AI1 and AI2 as most significant byte (MSB) and least significant byte (LSB) in order to get 16bit resolution for AI1. A special script is required at the RTU to scale and split up the higher resolution analog input. The same Range and Preset numbers can still be used because SCADAview will pre-scale the 16bit 0-65535 integer to a 0.000-255.000 floating point number. Note: Since the CTU uses 8 bits for all setpoints, only the MSB is used when entering and displaying high/low alarms or control group settings. This option is not necessary when using RTU32/CTU32 protocol. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 32 Flow Flow Rate and Flow Total Name This is the label used on all reports and displays to name the flow rate or total. Enter a label (up to 15 characters) in this field. Range For flow rate enter the raw value multiplier (raw value * Range = full scale flow rate). For flow total enter the increment value for the totalizer. (Usually either 100 or 1000 gallon increments). Units Enter up to a 5-character unit of measure for this rate or total (GPM, GAL) Label Enter up to a 3- character abbreviation for this rate or total (FR, FT) “Using Remote Flow Rate and Total” This option will let SCADAview know that the flow information is being computed out at the remote. This will cause the “Change Totalizer” button to appear in the Station Display’s Remote Station Commands panel. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 33 Discrete Inputs DI1-DI16 Name Enter the label for the discrete input item numbered to the left. This label will appear on reports and screens whenever this input is referenced. Mode Use the item list to select the available operating modes for the discrete input in question. Valid operating modes are: On Msg A1 - Alarm when input is on, A0 - Alarm when input is off S1 - Status when input is on, S0 - Status when input is off CRF - Call/Run/Fail (controllable) CRFHOA - Call/Run/Fail/Hand/Off/Auto (controllable) Off Msg Enter the label to be shown when the device is on or alarming. NOTE: Currently this label will not show up anywhere. Label This is the label shown on the System Display screen for this discrete input or controlled device. For controlled devices enter a 3-character abbreviation ending in X. Example: P1X - the third character of the code will change to display the current status of the device (R = Run, C = Call, F = Fail, O = Off). CG# The control group # associated with the pump input. This is for informations purposes only. SCADAview 32 Enter the label to be shown when the device is on or alarming. Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 34 IEM 1-16 & IEM 17-32 Name The name of the IEM input (up to 15 characters). This name is displayed on the station display whenever this item is on or off. Mode Use the item list to select the available operating modes for the IEM input in question. Valid operating modes are: Label A1 - Alarm when input is on A0 - Alarm when input is off S1 - Status when input is on S0 - Status when input is off P1 - Pump status RUN or OFF (adds an R or O to the label) SCADAview 32 This is the 3-character label shown on the System Display screen for this IEM input Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 35 Remote Setpoints Remote setpoints are read and sent to S3000/S4000 and later model RTUs from SCADAview. They can be used locally at the remote to control outputs when in backup control or for any other purpose by using RTU Script Language. These setpoints respresent the variables STOP1,START1 through STOP12,START12 in the RTU. Stop Label Label used to describe the stop setpoint (20 char max). i.e. “Pump 1 Stop” Start Label Label used to describe the start setpoint (20 char max). i.e. “Pump 1 Start” Stop and Start Scaling Preset Preset the starting raw value for an analog (three digits). To allow scales that don’t begin at zero, you may enter from negative -99 to 999. Range Enter the range for the scaling factor. The range is the multiplier that is used on the raw value the CTU returns to the PC. Units Enter up to a 8-character unit of measure for this analog (FEET, PSI, GPM etc.) SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 36 HOA Labels The HOA labels are used whenever an output needs to be labeled differently from the corresponding input. This usually occurs when using “function” outputs that do not need to generate FAIL alarms. If labels are left blank, the discrete input labels will be used. Also, on older 8-bit CTU system, whenever output label #6 is left blank, “TELEMETRY CONTROL” will be used. Virtual HOAs Like the Remote Setpoints described above, these “virtual” HOAs are read and sent to the station RTU. The variables X9 thru X16 are used to represent 8 different HOA settings (Hand=1, Auto=2, Off=0). Both the Central PC HOAs and the Remote Virtual HOAs have a selection for what options are displayed in the drop-down list (HAND-OFF-AUTO, START-STOP or ON-OFF). Using Remote Station PC HOAs (polled on-demand) This selection tells SCADAview that the normal HOA settings are to be stored at the remote. This option requires an M550, S4500, M1500 or later model RTU. The HOA settings are then read and written on-demand from SCADAview using the “read” and “send” buttons. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 37 Accumulators Remote RTU variables X17-X24, M0-M7, M8-M15 or M16-M23 can be labeled, scaled and treated as accumulators (runtimes, cycle counters, flow totals etc). These variables are then read and sent on demand from SCADAview just like the Remote Setpoints or Remote HOAs. A special option is also available to automatically read and save these accumulators at midnight (for use with the “Accumulator Report”). Another option allows the accumulators to automatically adjust the maintenance runtimes. After they are read at midnight, any of the accumulators that have “runtime” in their name will set the corresponding maintenance runtime to the remote value. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 38 Control Group Setup Database Controls (at the bottom of the form) Group List Use this pull-down list to select the group number and name to edit. Add Click this button to add a new group to the end of the database. Delete Deletes the current group. Note: The group will not really be deleted until the Save button is clicked. Save This button will save the entire database of control groups. You should click this when you are finished making changes. Group Name & Labels Group # The control group number (1-99) for the currently displayed group. This number is assigned by Micro-Comm when a system is created and will usually range from 1 to the number of groups in the system. Group Name A 20-character label that describes the group. This is normally the name of the pump station or controlled device. Data Source The DDE server application that will be used to acquire data for the group. Currently the choices are: CTU – Used with Micro-Comm RTUs, C2000 or card rack centrals DF1 – Allen-Bradley PLCs or other devices using the DF1 protocol Modbus - Modicon PLC or other devices using Modbus RTU protocol Remote Station - Micro-Comm remote RTU polled on-demand (uses DDE server) 2nd CTU - Micro-Comm RTU, C2000 on another COM port SV-PLC Server - PLCs (including CTU32) SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 39 Custom Group Screen When checked, the appearance of the control group screen will reflect what is selected under the Custom Group Screen tab - each setpoint line can be labeled and scaled differently with this option. Analog Enable Labels Control groups can have up to 8 different controlling sites depending on how the system is setup up. A 5-character label can be entered to describe each control site. (TANK1, TH etc.) Stop/Start Labels Special labels for display above the stop/start setpoints in SCADAview. If something other than “Stop” and “Start” are desired (such as “Cutoff” and “Restor”) enter the labels here. This can be up to 6 characters. Time Inhibit Override Stop/Start Labels Same as above but these labels are displayed over the override setpoints. Setpoint Labels A 20-character label describing each controlled device in the group. Example: Lead Pump, Lag Pump etc. Controlling Stations & Analogs Station Address The address of the tank site that controls the outputs for this group. This information will tell SCADAview what scaling factor to use when displaying the setpoints for this control group. The scaling factor that will be used will also be based on which of the Controlling Levels (1-8) is selected on SCADAview’s Control Group Stop/Start Setpoints screen. Analog Input The analog input (AI1 - AI8) used for control of this group. This information will along with the Controlling Station will tell SCADAview what scaling factor to use when displaying the setpoints for this control group (unless the option below is checked). “Use analogs selected above to scale each stop/start line differently.” This option makes it possible for each line on the control group stop/start screen to have a different scaling factor. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 40 Custom Group Screen Custom Group Screens allow more flexibility in how they are displayed in SCADAview. The options are as follows: Stop Label / Start Label Custom labels for each stop or start setpoint (stops are on the left side of the control group screen and starts are on the right). Preset/Range The offset and multipliers used to scale each setpoint. Units The units label is displayed to the right of each setpoint entry edit field. Show Alternator If checked, the “Forward, Reverse, Auto” selector is shown on the group screen. Show Fail Reset Button If check, the group’s “Fail Reset” button is shown on the group screen. Setpoints Title This label is shown above all the setpoints - this could be left blank. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc.

Add Click this button to add a new user to the end of the database. Delete Deletes the currently selected user. Note: The user will not be deleted until the Save button is clicked. Save This button will save the entire user’s database. You should click this when you are finished making changes. Global Security System Options Enable Security System When this option is checked, all security features will be enabled for SCADAview 32. Also, the next time the SCADAview 32 Configuration program is run it will require an administrator’s user name and password. Be careful not to lock yourself out! Auto-Logout Time (minutes) If a number other than zero is entered, SCADAview 32 will log off the current user after the given number of minutes has elapsed. This helps keep the system secure even if a user forgets to log out. Mouse Movement Resets Auto-Logout Timer If selected, any time the user moves the mouse the timer will be re-started. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 42 User Options User Name The name a user must type when logging into SCADAview. This name is case sensitive. Password The password a user must type when logging into SCADAview. Passwords are also case sensitive. Confirm When changing a password, it must be entered again here to confirm the change. User’s Security Level Administrator The user can do anything including changing setup options. (The SCADAview 32 Configuration program requires an Administrator) Supervisor Supervisors can change setpoints, HOA controls etc. Basically they can do everything other than program setup. Operator Operators can view the display screens, run reports etc. and can make changes to the Hand/Off/Auto controls. They can’t change setpoints or program setup options. None The user can log in but can’t make any setpoint or HOA changes. Note: When logged off, users can only view displays, view setpoints and HOAs and run reports. Local vs. Remote Security Level The local security level will be used whenever a user logs in on at the SCADAview machine. The remote security level gets used when logging in over the web page or remotely using TCP/IP client/server or SCADAview TCP data connections. SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 43 Startup Options Various startup options are available by selecting this setup screen in the SCADAview 32 Configuration program. Enable Client Mode Makes SCADAview connect to a remote machine (SCADAview Server) at startup and act as a client. Primary Server / Backup Server IP Addresses The IP address of the SCADAview Server machine as well as a backup machine in case the primary server goes down. Backup Server Makes this machine a backup server. All data servers will be launched in order to become a SCADAview Server in case the primary and secondary servers fail. The primary server will be tested periodically and this machine will become a client again when the primary is working again. Synchronize Time The computer’s time will be set the the SCADAview Server’s time periodically when this option is set. Do not use local history Forces a SCADAview Client machine to request all report data from the server (not from any local files). Data Update Rate (msec) This is how often a SCADAview client will request information from the server. This should be set higher when using a slow network connection or Internet. Alarm Ack All TCP Clients When this option is turned on, the server will send an alarm acknowledgement message to all connected clients whenever an alarm acknowledge occurs. Client machines should also have this option turned on if they wish to handle this message and have their alarms acknowledged. Run Graphics This will launch SCADAview Graphics immediately after starting SCADAview 32 and reading all initial data from the servers. Enable Modbus/TCP Server This makes SCADAview act as a Modbus/TCP server with each station’s data (normal station data order) located at 4x100, 4x200 etc. for each station in the list. Run Data Servers Makes sure to start all necessary data servers (even if the option was turned off from SCADAview). SCADAview 32 Micro-Comm, Inc. Page 44
