System Configuration module

Module used to:

• Create a new IGSS project

• Set up the individual IGSS stations

• Set up and configure PLC drivers

• Configure SQL servers, etc.

Inside the module

The last configuration or

project worked on

Creating a new project

1. From scratch

2. With the Wizard

System Configuration Wizard

Give it a

name

Give it a

(storage)

location

Create all IGSS stations on one PC

All IGSS station types can be

created centrally on one PC -

usually the PC to be used as the

IGSS server.

Notice the green screen

next to the station name,

IGSS Server, which

indicates the station type to

be used on this PC.

Notice the number of tabs

visible to the right. On

these, the global

parameters for the system

are selected.

Operator station tabs

Notice the green screen

next to the station

name, OP_1, which

indicates the station

type to be used on this

PC.

Notice the different

tabs now visible

compared to the server

on the previous slide.

The IP address of the

IGSS server must

always be filled in on

an operator station.

Messages to operator station

On operator station, clicking the

starter brings up

the dialog box on the left.

If the IGSS configuration or

application on the server is

different from the one on the

operator station (also if it’s the

first time the operator station

is started) the dialog box on

the left appears. (Notice the

IP address at the top.)

Drivers and interfaces

Many different drivers (80+)

7T develops optimized driversfor IGSS

OPC fully supported byclient-side driver

Drivers

• Select Communication Driver dialog box shows all available drivers

• Specifications of available drivers for IGSS(see PLC Drivers Available on www.7t.dk)

• IGSS provides an OPC Client to connect to OPC Serversoftware

Interface

Driver

Node

Subnode

Interfaces

• a serial connection (COM port, modem or radio link connection)

• an interface card (proprietary or standard network card)

Interface

Driver

Node

Subnode

The interface can be:

Nodes (PLCs)

• Unique node number is selected (IGSS node = PLC number)

• Certain PLC types support subnodes(The gateway PLC becomes a “manager node”)

• In Definition: Drivers and node numbers appear on the ”Edit Mapping” tab of an object.

InterfaceDriver

Node

Subnode

Subnodes

• IGSS only communicates with the manager node, not with the subnode

• Manager node routes the messages to the subnode

• Manager node must have mailbox enabled, which is configured on the Advanced tab.

Change set point to 1 to suspend node.Look for detailed information in the

System Configuration help file

Communication monitoring

Driver status– Right-click the Starter bar,

choose ”Detailed status” in the drop-down menu to view the status of the configuration’s PLC drivers.

Driver objectMonitors the communication at driver level

Node status objectMonitors the communication at node level

Remote connection status objectMonitors a remote connection

Dialup objectManually connect to, fetch historical data and disconnect from remote connection

Dialsuspend object”Dialup object” plus suspend and resume remote connection

Online suspend node objectUsed to suspend a node during supervision

Communication objects

Driver test and troubleshooting –T7T in the Utilities folder

T7T Driver Test programMonitors the communication betweenIGSS and the driver(s).Data can be viewed or data can be sent to the PLC (Send Packet).Data can be filtered by driver ID, node, data group, word, etc.

Log fileScan file with all data packets going between IGSS and the driver can be written.The log file – T7T.scn - will use the filter applied.The configuration scan file -<MyConfig>.scn –cannot be filtered.

Quick instructor demo

Please look and listen while the instructor quickly

goes through the creation procedure in

System Configuration.
