  • Define the global Array-Registers definitions available for all ABB Totalflow devices in this Ignition instance.
    • This step can be skipped if not configuring the driver to poll for AAR data.
  • Upload the Periodic Mappings for all ABB Totalflow devices in this Ignition instance.
    • This step can be skipped if default mapping provided by the driver is ok.
  • Create the base device connection to the ABB Totalflow device.
  • Specify the subset of global Array-Register definitions that this specific ABB Totalflow device uses.
    • This step can be skipped if not configuring the driver to poll for AAR data.
  • Reconfigure device connection to enable polling desired history data (i.e. Periodic, Daily or both).

As en example, let's configure the driver to poll for Periodic and Daily History and disable polling for Alarms and Events. This can be done in two ways:

...

  • Alarm Scan Rate
    • Set to -1 to disable polling for Alarms. If Alarms are not needed it is the best practice to set the 'Alarm Scan Rate' to -1. With this setup, alarm records are not going to be pushed to the rs_efm_meter_alarm database table regardless of the alarm source setting (i.e. PERIODIC_HISTORY or ALARM_LOG_RECORDS).
    • If the 'Alarm Source' is set to the 'ALARM_LOG_RECORDS' and the 'Record Info Scan Rate' is set to -1, the 'Alarm Scan Rate' can be set to 0. With this setup, the AlarmPoller will not run on it own nor will it poll on notifications from the RecordInfoPoller. 
  • Event Scan Rate 
    • Set to -1 to disable polling for Events.
    • If the 'Record Info Scan Rate' is set to -1, the 'Event Scan Rate' can be set to 0. With this setup, the EventPoller will not run on it own nor will it poll on notifications from the RecordInfoPoller. 
  • Periodic History Scan Rate
    • Set to a positive number to launch the PeriodicHistoryPoller with specified poll rate.
  •  Daily History Scan Rate
    • Set to a positive number to launch the DailyHistoryPoller with specified poll rate.
  • Record Info Scan Rate
    • Set to -1 to disable the RecordInfoPoller so that there will be no notifications to Alarm, Events and History pollers on any 'RecordInfo' change such as 'Last Record Sequence number Used', etc.
