Totalflow Applications Definitions
The Totalflow Applications Definitions provide the driver with application information such as:
- Enumeration number
- Name
- Type
- An optional flag (SU) that indicates that this is a 'Selectable Unit' application
- Part number(s)
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:

General
...
- Enable auto-discovery
- Enables ABB Totalflow driver to run application auto-discovery at startup and re-configuration.
- Add All Totalflow Application Definitions
- Automatically add all Totalflow Applications definitions configured within the ABB Totoalflow driver module.
- Add All Array-Register Definitions
- Automatically add all the Array-Register definitions configured within the ABB Totoalflow driver module.
- Auto-Generate Templates and Poll Groups
- Automatically generates default Array-Register templates and default poll group on startup and reconfiguration. Note that the driver will create a default Array-Register template will be generated for specific application type (enumeration ) if polling the following criteria are met (see
- in the 'Totalflow Applications Panel'
below) - for at least one of applications of this type.
Another requirement for the default Array-Register template to be generated is that there any - custom template(s) for this application type.
Import Policies
- Array-Register Template Import Policy
- UPDATE - update existing Array-Register Templates
- REPLACE - replace existing Array-Register Templates
- Poll Group Import Policy
- UPDATE - update existing poll groups
- REPLACE - replace existing poll groups
DB2 Protocol
- Station ID
- Station ID of this ABB Totalflow device.
- Keep Alive
- Time interval (in seconds) between 'keep-alive' polls that may be required to maintain PERSISTENT connection if ABB Totalflow device is configured to disconnect on inactivity. To disable 'keep-alive' polls, set to 0.
- Host Timeout
- Timeout (in milliseconds) to wait for a reply from the host. The default value is 3000 milliseconds.
- Poll EOT Timeout
- Time (in milliseconds) to wait to ensure there are no more packets to receive. The default value is 700 milliseconds.
- Auto-Discovery EOT timeout
- Time (in milliseconds) to wait to ensure there are no more packets to receive during auto-discovery. The default value is 2000 milliseconds.
- Number Retries
- Number of retries if DB2 request is NAKed.
- Supervisory Frames
- Number of DB2 supervisory frames.
- Password
- DB2 Protocol Security Code. If device is set with default security code of 0000, leave blank.
...
- RBAC Enabled
- Enables Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is enabled on the device and therefore the X_RBAC frame needs to be included in the DB2 request message.
- Operator ID
- Operator ID. If RBAC is not enabled on the device, leave blank.
- Password
- Operator password. If RBAC is enabled on the device, leave blank.
Date/Time
- Date Time Offset
- The date time offset of the Totalflow device clock from the Ignition system running this driver in seconds.
Records
- Alarm Source
Alarm source selector.
- PERIODIC-HISTORY_RECORDS - alarms are obtained from Periodic History records.
- ALARM_LOG_RECORDS - alarms are obtained form Alarm Log records.
- Alarm Scan Rate
- The rate in seconds that Alarm Log Records are scanned. Set to 0 to poll on notification from the 'Record Info' scanner. To disable Alarm polls, set to -1.
- Event Scan Rate
- The rate in seconds that Event Records are scanned. Set to 0 to poll on notification from the 'Record Info' scanner. To disable Event polls, set to -1.
- Periodic History Scan Rate
- The rate in seconds that Periodic History Records are scanned. Set to 0 to poll on notification from the 'Record Info' scanner. To disable Periodic History polls, set to -1.
- Daily History Scan Rate
- The rate in seconds that Daily History Records are scanned. Set to 0 to poll on notification from the 'Record Info' scanner. To disable Daily History polls, set to -1.
- Record Info Scan Rate
- The rate in seconds for the 'Record Info Registers' (i.e. History, Event and Alarm record capacity, last sequence number, etc.) to be scanned.
If new Event, History, or Alarm Log records are detected, respective poller(s) will be notified. To disable 'RecordInfo' polls, set to -1. Set to 0 for one-shot 'Record Info' poll.
- Max. Records to Read
- Maximum number of records to read in one poll.
- Periodic Mapping
- The mapping of Totalflow LOG_PERIOD and DAILY structures to Flowcal Meter Periodic Transactions.
...
- Group ID
- An ID representing a logical grouping of Edge Nodes and Devices
- Edge Node ID
- An ID representing an Edge or Network (EoN) Node
- Device ID
- An ID representing a Device
Miscellaneous

To finish configuring ABB Totalflow device, the following four things (as detailed in EFM ABB Totalflow Quickstart document) need to be done:
- Review auto-discovered applications and choose which application driver needs to poll.
Image Modified
- Specify Apply appropriate global Array-Register Definitions definitions (only if the "Add All Array-Register Definitions" configuration option was not enabled).
Image Modified
- Review default Array-Register Templates generated based on provided Array-Register definitions per each Totalflow application enumeration obtained during auto-discovery. Note that default Array-Register Template entry will be generated for application enumeration only if at lease one of installed application of this type is enabled. Default Array-Register templates can be modified by either editing or by importing an Array-Regsiter template CSV file.
