Create an Analog Output Point
Add a SCADAPack x70 DNP3 Analog Output Point to the database. This type of database item is available from the DNP3 sub-branch within the SCADAPack x70 branch of the Create New menu. The sub-branch corresponds to the communications protocol that Geo SCADA Expert is to use to communicate with the SCADAPack 575.
When you create the point, you can leave most of the configuration fields at their default values.
On the Analog Point tab of the configuration Form, the only fields that you need to change for this tutorial are:
- In Service—Select this check box so that it displays a check mark.
- Outstation—Specify the SCADAPack x70 DNP3 Direct Outstation that you created earlier in this tutorial.
- SCADAPack x70 Object—Specify the second SCADAPack x70 Analog Configuration item that you created earlier in this tutorial.
- Historic Data Filter—(This field is within the Logged Data section, towards the bottom of the Analog Point tab.) Set to Static and Event Data.
Save the configuration. Notice that the DNP3 Point Number field is populated with the value that you specified for the corresponding field on the SCADAPack x70 Analog Configuration item that you referenced above.
On the Control tab, specify the following:
- Control Object—Set to Single-precision float (g41v3).
-
Update Point on successful action—Select this check box so that it displays a check mark.
On the Historic tab:
- Enabled—Select this check box so that it displays a check mark.
Once you have configured the analog output point, you can proceed to Create an I/O Module.
