2-4 ADS TRITON+ Manual
The ExPAC and XBUS also serve as Modbus interfaces to provide real-
time data from the monitor to a SCADA (supervisory control and data
acquisition) or other process control system through an RTU (remote
terminal unit) or another comparable instrument. The XIO also serves
as an analog and digital I/O (input/output) interface that can support
non-ADS sensors, switches, and various third-party equipment.
The ADS Qstart
XML
software application enables the user to configure
and communicate with the monitor for activation, data collection, and
diagnostic purposes. Configuration involves defining the information
file (XML) for storage in the user's local directory and building the
necessary code and variables for the site. The XML file contains
information such as pipe characteristics, monitor identification, active
sensors, sensor offsets, data log rate, and other parameters necessary for
measuring the flow both accurately and efficiently.
Activation involves downloading the site-specific information from the
XML (stored in the user's local directory or network drive) to the
monitor. It also includes initiating monitor activities such as taking
sensor readings, logging flow data, and managing event notification.
Note: Refer to the Qstart
