Configuring Poll Groups for a Device

As a first step, go to the 'Devices' configuration page and click the 'More' button. A drop-down menu with the following five options options will be displayed as shown below:

• Totalflow Applications
• Array-Register Definitions
• Array-Register Templates
• Poll Groups
• delete

Configuring Totalflow Applications

The 'Totalflow Applications' configuration panel is populated by the 'auto-discovery' process that takes place on device startup or reconfiguration. Below is an example of what can be displayed on this panel:

At this point, user can enable or disable polling on any listed application and save the changes. Note that polling on all 'Tube' applications is enabled by default.

Specifying Array-Register Definitions for a Device

The next step is to add appropriate global Array-Register definitions to this device connection. Do so by clicking the 'More' drop-down button and selecting 'Array-Register Definitions' as shown below:

You should now see an empty list of Array-Register definitions (unless you used the "Add All Array-Register Definitions" setting).  Click the 'Add Row' link that is shown below.  This will show a new Array-Register definition with a select box to allow you to select which global Array-Register definition you want to associate with this device.  Add as many as are appropriate for your device as shown below:

When complete, save the list and you will be taken back to the Devices list.

Configuring Array-Register Templates for a Device

With the Array-Register definitions now defined for this device we can create some Array-Register templates to allow creation of Application-Array-Register (AAR) poll groups. Note that the ABB Totalflow driver is capable of generating default Array-Register templates - one per each enabled application type (i.e. application enumeration). If ABB Totalflow device connection was created with the 'Auto-generate Templates and Poll Group' setting turned on, the following default Array-Register templates will be generated for the Totalflow applications shown above:

These default templates for each application type will contain all Array-Register points obtained from applied Array-Register definitions that are applicable for this application enumeration. An example of this default template entry page is shown below:

At this point user can do the following:

• Keep things as is.
  • This approach will potentially create too many tags that are not really needed.
• Edit default template by either deleting or disabling rows.
• Export default templates as CSV file, edit this file (i.e. remove unwanted data points), and importing it back. This approach can result in
  • New Array-Register template if original template name was modified in CSV file. In this case original default template will remain untouched.
  • Same Array-Register template will have less data points given that template name has not been modified in edited CSV file.
• Delete default Array-Register template and create a new one from scratch. Note that the best practice is to disable the 'Auto-generate Templates and Poll Group' option in device configuration before deleting any templates. Otherwise the driver will attempt to regenerate default template for application enumeration if the following is true:
  • The 'Totalflow Application' configuration panel contains at least one application of this type (i.e. enumeration) with polling enabled.
  • There is no other custom Array-Register template defined for this application.
