Facility Tags

OVERVIEW: The
Facility Status window allows you to get a quick overview of any facilities, including the communications status, and the status of any alarms at each facility. Facilities are configurable nodes in XSPOC that allow you to pull in data from RTU’s, PLC’s, or any other devices that use the Modbus or Allen-Bradley DF1 protocols.

NAVIGATION:

From the Main Client window:
1. Click on the Facilities tab.
2. Click on the Facility Status icon in the Analysis Section.

FEATURES: The
Facility Status screen has fixed columns that show the name of the Facility, the Comm status, whether the facility is Enabled (green) or disabled (red), Tag Count, Alarm Count and Comments. Each facility has tags that correspond to registers within that facility and their Description and Address define the tag. The Facility Status window shows whether the facility has any tags that are currently in alarm, the value from the last scan, Units and the last time that successful communications happened for each tag.

Facilities can be toggled between an enabled and disabled state by right clicking on the Facility Name in the Well tree Group and selecting the desired action.

The Refresh button on the toolbar allows the user to refresh the data from the database. The Auto Refresh
option allows this form to be updated from the database at regular intervals. The Reports option will provide a facility report. To manually scan the facility, make sure the facility is chosen in the Well Explorer and then select the Scan button from the Main toolbar. To see the results of this scan you will have to click on the refresh button. Another way to manually scan the facility
is to right-click the facility name in the Facility Status window and choose scan from the popup menu. You can also set the comment by clicking in the comment box and typing the comment.
