SCADA Signals Dialog

The SCADA Signals dialog enables the user to associate a SCADA data source with a model and then map the individual signals to signal elements in the model.

The buttons on top of the left pane are described below:

Signals are divided under datasource nodes into two types:

Raw – Raw signals are data directly pulled from the datasource without modification.
Derived – Derived signals take raw signals from the datasource and transform them using different methods.

The behavior of the right pane depends on the node type selected in the left pane.

Datasource Node - will display a list of the raw signal names provided by the selected datasource.
Raw Signal Node - will display a preview of the data for that signal. To ensure that the data are current, the user can pick Refresh button or Auto Refresh check box.
Derived Signal Node - will be split into two tabs.
- Preview - Can view the values of the transformed signal.
- Signal Value Transform – Can view and set the properties of the signal transform.
