After the driver is installed, you can create FloBoss database objects (‘database items’) in the usual way. To add a FloBoss-specific database object, right-click on a Group in the Database Bar, select Create New, then FloBoss, and then the type of object that you want to create.
Each object includes settings and properties that are common to many ClearSCADA objects, like Alarm Redirection, User Methods, Identification, point Alarm Limits, and so on. For information on these common properties, see Configure a New or Existing Point in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Point Configuration. For information about settings and properties that are FloBoss-specific, see the topics listed below:
- FloBoss Channel
- FloBoss Scanner
- FloBoss History Point
- FloBoss Numeric Point
- FloBoss Digital Point
- FloBoss String Point.
For ClearSCADA to interface with a supported FloBoss device, as a minimum you need to configure: 1 FloBoss Channel, 1 FloBoss Scanner, and 1 FloBoss Point in your database.
In addition to using ViewX and WebX, you can also view information about each database object in the ClearSCADA Database Schema. The view in the schema shows the properties and methods for the object.
