2 Purpose of this document
This System Integrator’s Guide is intended as a companion document to the Installation and Operation
Manual (I&O manual) for MultiSmart. It is specifically written to enable System Integrator’s to integrate
MultiSmart rapidly into SCADA systems.
For electrical connection, commissioning, navigating the operator interface, and understanding the
Settings menus in the product, see the I&O manual.
The I&O manual also has a communications chapter (Section 22) which should be read before starting
with this Integrator’s Guide.
3 Integration to any SCADA
The MultiSmart integrates to any modern SCADA – via Modbus or DNP3, and over any media.
There are also 3rd party tools available to speed up integration, such as the Software Toolbox MultiSmart
TOPServer (www.softwaretoolbox.com/multismart). The MultiSmart TOPServer provides an OPC server
for the MultiSmart tag list, greatly speeding up integration into SCADA platforms.
MultiSmart has successfully been integrated with:
• Wonderware InTouch
• Citect 6
• RSView
• Intellution iFix
• Iconics Genesis32
• ClearSCADA
• Software Toolbox TOPServer (“middleware” providing DNP3-OPC connectivity, not a SCADA
front end)
4 Tag database
At the heart of the MultiSmart product is a tag database with 1000s of tags. These tags provide extensive
functionality.
For example, if “Level” is being measured from AIN1, there will be an IO tag (AIN1) as well as a “Level”
tag. The level tag is what is used in the pump control engine.
If the flow module is used, the “Pump 1 Flow rate” tag is used regardless of whether the Flow rate is a
calculated value from the draw down test, or from an AIN via a flow meter.
