This manual contains applications information about SCADASuite. The purpose of this manual it to explain how to use SCADASuite and to give detailed examples on how to use SCADASuite to accomplish your goals. This manual is a companion to the SCADASuite Reference Manual, and is meant to be used alongside that document.
Refer to the SCADASuite Reference Manual for detailed information. This Applications Manual is meant to be used alongside the reference manual.
Gen7 Systems SCADASuite allows you to maximize the value of your automation investment. SCADASuite introduces a suite of configurable applications to meet your automation needs. Compared to conventional custom programming in ladder logic, SCADASuite applications are more stable, execute faster, are easier to deploy and easier to debug.
SCADASuite has two main components: A PC Configuration Program to manage applications on the RTU, and the applications on the RTU themselves.
The PC Configuration Program allows you to:
Manage different application configurations at multiple revision levels.
Compare one instance of an application configuration to another to easily spot differences.
Upgrade or downgrade an application configuration from one version to another.
Retrieve and view detailed diagnostic information from applications on the RTU.
Upload and download application configurations to an RTU.
Test an application from within the program.
The PC Configuration Program is not required to manage applications on the RTU. SCADASuite applications on the RTU can be completely configured via Modbus.
Applications on the RTU include:
MQTT. Convert your RTU to an IoT Edge Device and upload data to the cloud using the MQTT protocol. Optionally supports encryption (TLS 1. to 1.2) for secure operation. Upload high resolution data with update times as fast as 1 second.
Plunger Lift with Gas Lift. Control up to 4 gas wells. Sophisticated control with optional automatic optimization. Includes Turner and Coleman critical flow calculations. Includes optional gas lift features to increase well production.
Datalogs. Simplify the creation, configuration and management of Datalogs on your RTU. Log data periodically or on demand, when something interesting happens. Apply functions, like minimum, maximum, or average to logged data. Do all of this via point and click configuration, and without writing any ladder logic.
Function Generator. Create periodic waveforms like sine, saw tooth, or square waves to test your automation.
Well Test. Automatically configure Realflo so that multiple wells can share a single measurement path.
Shutdown Manager. Scale IO values, compare the live values to configured limits, and drive outputs. Export the logic in matrix format to clearly see which inputs drive which outputs, and ensure that that the implemented logic matches the designed logic.
Tank Volume. Convert the measured level in your tank into a volume, or use a flow meter to track the volume in a tank. Select from different tank geometries. Start transactions automatically, when the tank volume changes quickly, or manually, via control registers.
...And More. Don't see what you need? Get in touch and tell us the details. Using our framework based approach, and rapid development capability, we can develop applications in weeks, sometimes with no payment up front.
This manual includes applications information for both the PC Configuration Program and RTU Applications. You can also find the SCADASuite Reference Manual online.
