EFM ABB Totalflow provides a configuration section to the Ignition Gateway and this can be seen in the left side menu bar of the Ignition Gateway web UI.
Please review the EFM ABB Totalflow Quickstart for all configuration steps required to pull data from a Totalflow into Ignition
The configuration options for each of the three tabs - Array-Register Definitions, Totalflow Application Definitions and EFM Mappings - are detailed below.
The Cirrus Link default Array-Register Definitions and EFM Periodic Mapping files can be used as a starting point for configuring the EFM ABB Totalflow module.
The Totalflow Application Definitions file can be used as an example if you need to add application definitions that are not known to the driver.
The first tab contains settings for creating sets of Array-Register Definitions:
New Array-Register Definitions can be created by following the 'Create new Array-Register Definition' link as shown below:
Name
This is the friendly name of the Array-Register Definition being created
Definition File
Click the 'Browse' button to select either ZIP archive containing INI files or individual INI file for this Array-Register Definition.
It is best practice to add global Array-Register definitions before any Totalflow device connections are defined. If an Array-Register definition is added later, it needs to be added to a device connection manually. Even if device connection has the 'Add All Array-Register Definitions' option turned on, new global Array-Register definition will not be applied unless either added manually or device configuration is re-submitted.
The Totalflow Applications Definitions provide the driver with application information.
The Totalflow Applications Definitions tab allows user to add new application definitions or modified existing ones that driver was build with. The tab shows all uploaded application definitions files as shown below:
A new Totalflow Applications Definition can be added by clicking on the "Create new Totalflow Applications Definition..." link.

CSV File
Click the 'Browse' button to select CSV file for this Totalflow Applications Definition
The EFM Mappings are used for publishing EFM Records representing Daily and Periodic History entries that are polled from a device.
The periodic mapping files are used for building up EFM Daily and Periodic History Records and they define column names for record's fields.
The Periodic Mappings tab shows all uploaded Periodic Mapping files as shown below.
A new Periodic Mapping can be added by clicking on the "Create new Periodic Mapping..." link.
