This topic relates to controllers on the SE Rod Pump Controller driver.
When you add an item to the database, various properties on the item's configuration Form are assigned a value automatically. These default values are assigned on creation of the database item, to help reduce the amount of manual configuration that is required. As such, you only need configure a subset of the properties that exist on an item's configuration Form. Typically, the properties you have to configure include:
- Those properties that require a value, but for which the property field is blank
- Those properties for which the value needs to differ from the default.
For a controller on this driver to be capable of functioning in Geo SCADA Expert, as a minimum you have to specify these properties on the item's configuration Form:
- The outstation set with which the controller is associated (Outstation tab)
- The controller address (SE RPC tab)
- The Dynacard Stores that are to store the rod pump data (SE RPC tab)
- The Network properties for a network connected controller (Network tab)
- The Shared properties for a shared controller (Shared tab).
Also ensure that the controller and the database items on which it depends are In Service, and have saved, valid configuration. This will produce a controller that is capable of functioning using the default configuration settings.
