Load SCADA Data
Loading SCADA data is a process of importing the SCADA data to a specific location in a hydraulic model. Specifying the database source of the SCADA data and where in the hydraulic model the importer should import the data are managed during signal mapping process.
If Calibration field data sets is checked under the Data Destinations group of SCADA Signal Mapping window, you will be able to import the data to the Darwin Calibrator. Specifying the correct SCADA Signal Data Sources are equally important as well, otherwise data may get imported from an unintended database source.
Before loading any data to the hydraulic model, make sure the units are correctly specified. For more information, go to XREF units.
There are four different ways to utilize/visualize the imported SCADA data.
Load to Calibrator Field Dataset’
Load Demand Base Average Values’
When Real-time option is selected, SCADAConnect will import the latest data stored by the SCADA system. If a SCADA System is storing data at every 15 minute interval, say at 1:00 AM, 1:15 AM, 1:30 AM and so on, and SCADAConnect is used to load the real-time data at 1:35AM, it will import the data stored at 1:30AM.
