Exercise: Connecting to ATIVA-SCADA with Ethernet
(1) Data Server Configuration
a) Select [Tools ] – [Database] and create three virtual tags: one analog, one digital, and one string tag.
b) Select [Tools] – [Data Server] – [Xpanel Data Server] and add the analog and digital tags to the [Data(D) Memory] area. Add the string tag to the [String(S) Memory] area.
c)Â To check the tag values during runtime, add three dynamic tag values to the page.
(2) AtivaD Configuration
a)Â Open ATIVA-SCADA and add two COM blocks to the I/O device as shown below. See the I/O Device settings section for more information about adding and configuring I/O devices.
b) Select [Tools] – [Database] and register real tags with addresses D0, D1, and S0. Set D0 as a digital tag, D1 as an analog tag, and S0 as a string tag. For each tag, select the corresponding D or S address which you chose in XpanelDesigner.
(3) Checking the Operation
a)Â Download the XpanelDesigner project to Xpanel and execute it. Then save all changes to the SCADA project and run AtivaX.
b) In AtivaX, open the [Network Status] tool to verify that the station is connected. Using the [Database] tool, you can manually change the value of each tag. Whenever you apply a change, the new value should be shown on the Xpanel screen.
