SCADA Applications
SCADA is short for ‘Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition’, and describes
applications in which process data from controllers and other devices is displayed
on human-machine interface (HMI) workstations to help system operators
monitor operations and make control decisions. HMI applications such as
FactoryTalk® View software use communication applications such as RSLinx
Classic and RSLinx® Enterprise software to gather data from the process through
controller, power monitors, and the like.
This section covers RSLinx Classic software driver setup, and OPC setup by
using the RSLinx Classic OPC Server.
RSLinx Classic Driver Configuration
Install the PowerMonitor 5000 unit EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) file on the
computer running RSLinx Classic software. You can use the RSLinx EDS
Hardware Installation tool to register EDS file, or they can be uploaded in
RSLinx software after configuring drivers by right-clicking on the power monitor
icon in RSWho and registering the device.
EtherNet/IP by Using Ethernet Devices Driver
• Create an Ethernet devices driver in RSLinx software.
• Add the IP address of the PowerMonitor 5000 unit to the driver station
mapping.
• Use RSWho to verify that RSLinx software is communicating to the
PowerMonitor 5000 unit.
