2. Migrating MicroSCADA application in SYS 600

and Monitor Pro

This chapter provides information on the migration tools needed during theapplication design when the existing LIB 5xx based applications are migrated to usethe Monitor Pros new Process Displays.

Usually, an existing application contains a set of pictures and their related processdatabase built with LIB 5xx application library. SYS 600 contains the engineeringtools to migrate these applications in a straightforward way. During the migration,the picture configuration information from the existing pictures is copied to the

process database. The Monitor Pro user interface uses the copied information. Theconnection between the existing process objects of the migrated application and thegraphical symbols of the new Process Displays is made by dragging and droppingthe complete objects during the single line diagram engineering with Display

Builder.

Another migration tool is needed for the event handling concept introduced inSYS 600. In this concept, the Event Objects are displayed in the applications

process database. Another event architecture has been used with the existingapplication, which database has been built with LIB5xx application library andcontains the LIB 500 Event List. To provide a continuum from the existing LIB 500

Event List to the SYS 600 Event List, a migration tool to migrate the existingapplication to the new event handling concept is introduced. The following figuredescribes both the event handling processes and the role of the migration tool.

Fig. 2.-3 Event conversion process

SYS 600 Event List concept:

1. The value of the process object is updated

2. Format picture is activated

3. Format picture reads the text related to the event from the text file and shows itin the Event List

Event Conversion Tool:

1. Reads all the format pictures and related text files found from the application

2. Puts texts to text database, creates Event Objects, connects Process Objects toEvent Objects

MicroSCADA Pro Event List concept:

1. The value of the process object is updated

2. Event object is activated. Event Object contains the reference to text database,from where the textual presentation of event is fetched

By default, SA control dialogs can connect to the configuration made with LIB 510MV Process. However, it is possible to export data from any picture function that isdesigned according to LIB 5xx design rules.

SYS 600 9.3

2.1. Exporting information from pictures

In a LIB5xx based picture, the parameters describing the object and its behaviour isstored in the picture. When the new Process Displays are used with an existing

process database, these parameters need to be extracted from the pictures and madeavailable for the new control dialogs.

The Configuration Data Export tool is used for this purpose. It extracts the needed

information from the pictures and stores it to the process database, from where it isavailable for the Control dialogs of Power Process library. The configuration of theMeasurement Reports is extracted to a separate files, to directory sc/apl/'apl name'/reports/preconf.

2.1.1. Configuration Data Export tool

The Configuration Data Export tool offers the means to reuse the pictures andprocess database built with LIB 5xx application library when an application isupgraded to the Monitor Pro user interface. First, Configuration Data Export canseparate the configuration of the picture functions from the SCIL picture. Next, thetool copies the information to the process database. In case of MeasurementReports, tool creates the external configuration data files that are saved in apl \ aplname\ REPORTS\ PRECONF. The Process Displays and measurement reportdisplays in Monitor Pro can utilize the exported configuration data. For moreinformation on the picture engineering, see SYS 600 Process Display Design.

2.1.1.1. Starting Configuration Data Export tool

To start the Configuration Data Export tool, in Tool Manager, on theMiscellaneoustab, click DAT Export.

The Source directory shows where the SCIL pictures are located. The destinationdirectory is always /POBJCONF directory under the application. When the Overrideexisting configuration files option is checked, the configuration file is recreated, ifthere already is a file with the same name in the destination directory. The SCIL

pictures found from the source directory are listed in the Pictures tab.

2.1.1.2. Options

The purpose of the Export Options is to filter out the picture functions that are notrelated to the process graphics. These kinds of functions are, for example,

components that are used for building the network topology coloring into the LIB500 single line diagrams.

In this way, the amount of the data files can be reduced. Also, by having this kind offilter, the creation of unnecessary data files will be prevented.

2.1.1.3. Exporting picture data

To export configuration data from a picture:

1. Select the picture(s) in the Pictures list from which you want to export data.

2. Select filter from the Export Options dialog.

3. Click the Export button.

For more information on how to finalize the picture engineering, see SYS 600Process Display Design.

2.2. Event conversion

In LIB 500 Event List, the format pictures are used for showing the dynamic part ofthe event text. However, the event text presentation in SYS 600 Event List is based

on the Event Objects. When SYS 600 Event List is used with an existing processdatabase, the format picture mechanism must be converted into the new eventhandling concept.

The SYS 600 Event Conversion Tool offers the means to convert the used formatpicture concept into a new event handling concept. In practice, this means that eachprocess object that has a known LIB 5xx format picture is connected to a comparableEvent Object. When the event conversion is done, the same event texts are shown inthe SYS 600 Event List and in the LIB 500 Event List.

2.2.1. Event Conversion Tool

The purpose of Event Conversion Tool is:

To locate the used, known LIB 5xx format pictures from the process objects ofthe application.

To create the related Event Objects that the new event handling concept needs.

To separate event texts from the text files, and write them to a text database file(APL_TEXT.SDB) of the running application.

To connect the created Event Objects to the text identifiers that are located fromthe text database file.

To connect process objects to event objects.

2.2.1.1. Starting Event Conversion Tool

Start Event Conversion Tool from Tool Manager. Select the Miscellaneoustab andclick Event Conversion.

Format pictures are still needed to print the events to the Event

Printer. Due to this, the format picture information in processdatabase is not modified during the conversion.

2.2.1.2. Making conversion

The conversion can be done by clicking the Searchbutton, which looks for theknown conventions within the application. Clicking the Modify DBbutton makes

the changes to the process database. If you do not want to examine the eventconventions beforehand, you can click the Modify DBbutton directly.

When the conversion is ready, the result can be saved to a log file. The log filecontains all the data found from three tabs in the Event Conversion Tool.

It is recommended to take a backup from the application (processdatabase) before making the event conversion.

Complete objects, for example switching devices, transformers, measurements, aswell as LIB standard functions, can now be installed and configured directly in theObject Navigator. Installing such an object means that the corresponding processobjects are created and object parameters are stored in the application, but noProcess Display elements are built.

These objects are installed during the single line diagram engineering in the ProcessDisplays by the drag and drop operation. In this operation, all the connections

between the display elements and process database are automatically configured.The following figure describes the Object Navigator engineering approach.

3.1. List Based Engineering tool

List Based Engineering tool (LBE) is an efficient way to create process objects froma scratch in SYS 600/LIB applications.

Creating and configuring the process objects with LBE tool requires:

Knowledge on LIB engineering.

Information on how the attribute values are stored in the SYS 600configuration data files.

Information on how the Process Displays are created with Display Builder.

MicroSCADA Pro


Technically, the tool is a Microsoft Excel document that contains:

A sheet to specify naming convention and per-bay amounts of each supportedprocess object type.

One sheet for each supported process object type to fill in the process objectconfiguration data.

A sheet to create, edit and delete graphical objects (symbols) in ProcessDisplays.

A sheet to define mappings between subdrawing data variables and displaydata variables.

A sheet to create, edit and delete data variables in data sources of ProcessDisplays.

A sheet that contains default values and settings.

A Clipboard sheet for the user to store temporary data.

The user interface components are provided to execute Visual BASIC forApplications (VBA) macros that generate default names and configurations to theLIB object sheets, perform write operations to the process database, provideinformative exception handling and operate with graphical objects in ProcessDisplays.

3.1.1. System requirements

In addition to the SYS 600 software requirements, the LBE tool has the followingrequirements:

Microsoft Excel 2000 or later

Existing empty or non-empty LIB application in HOT state to performoperations in the process database

Dual-display video card and two display devices are recommended to enablemore information to be visible at one time

For more information about software requirements, see SYS 600 Installation andAdministration Manual.

3.1.2. Using the tool

Before opening the tool, start Microsoft Excel and verify that macro security levelis set to "Medium" by selecting Tools > Macro > Security > Security Level.

LBE tool is installed in \ sc\ sa_ l i b\ t ool s \ LBE. xl s. When the document isopened, click Enable Macrosto enable all the functionality built in the sheets. Ifyou click Disable Macros, the contents will still be visible, but the functionality willnot be available.

3.1.3.1. Columns

The Create sheet contains columns, which identify used naming convention andtypes of objects. The following tables contain the names and purposes for both of

these categories. The columns from LN Prefix to LN Suffix are used together with the marker (see

Defaults sheet) to form naming convention for process object logical names. Thename is formed as follows: LN Prefix + Station Name + Station Suffix + Bay

Name + Bay Suffix + Device Prefix + Device Name + LN Suffix. The DeviceName is formed as follows: Device Marker + a running number starting from 1.

The columns from Breakers to Tripping Tags contain per-bay amounts of eachsupported process object type. Only whole numbers greater than 0 are accepted.

Writing data

If the directory path corresponding to the current application name, which isspecified in Defaults sheet, cannot be found, the following message is displayed:

A050214

Fig. 3.1.3.4.-6 Cannot find application path

If writing to a configuration data file is not possible with the LBE tool, the followingmessage, where S1_STA1.dat is the name of the configuration file, is displayed:

A050242

Fig. 3.1.3.4.-7 Cannot write file

If the process object creation fails in the process database, the following message is

displayed:

If one or more SCIL error status codes are received by LBE as a result of the processobject creation in the process database, the following message is displayed:

A050216

Fig. 3.1.3.4.-9 Errors when creating process object

Creating the object may have totally or partially failed because of the error.

Adding Symbols

If the active Process Display file contains no MicroSCADA data sources, thefollowing message is displayed:

3.1.4. Symbols, Mappings, and Data Source sheets

These three sheets are used for list based editing of Process Displays. The sheets areevent based, which means that all changes in cell contents take effect immediatelyin the loaded Process Display. If no Process Display is loaded, LBE uses thetemplate display file specified in Defaults sheet, and the changes are applied to it.

3.1.4.1. Columns

Symbols sheetThe columns of Symbols sheet have the following purposes:

Object # contains the number of the graphical object. The column is read-only.

Subdrawing File contains the file name of the used subdrawing. Entering a validfile name to an empty cell creates a new graphical object (and also writes initialdefault values to the editable attribute cells of the row, if they are not alreadyspecified). Entering a valid file name to a non-empty cell changes the usedsubdrawing file. Deleting cell contents, or entering an empty string, deletes thegraphical object (but not the values of the editable attribute cells of the row).

SYS 600 9.3

Object Name contains the name of the graphical object. It is not recommended tohave several graphical objects with equal object name in one Process Display.

ToolTip contains the text that is displayed as a tooltip for the graphical object.

Visibility Priority contains the visibility priority level of the graphical object.Valid values can be seen and changed from the data validation in-cell dropdown.

X Coord and Y Coord columns contain the coordinates of the graphical object.Only whole numbers between -16 383 and 16 383 are accepted.

X Scale and Y Scale columns contain the scale factors of the subdrawing. Onlydecimal numbers between -16 383 and 16 383 are accepted.

SA Object Type contains the value of SAObjectType custom attribute key of thesubdrawing. The column is read-only.

SA Object Name contains the value of SAObjectName custom attribute key ofthe graphical object. The column is read-only.

Message column contains the result and time of the last operation related to the

subdrawing file. The column is read-only.

Mappings sheet

The columns of Mappings sheet have the following purposes:

Object # contains the number of the graphical object. The column is read-only.

Object Name contains the name of the graphical object. The column is read-only.

Subdrawing Data Var Name contains the name of the subdrawing data variable.The column is read-only.

Data Var Type contains the data type of the subdrawing data variable. The sametype is required for the mapped display data variable or constant value. The

column is read-only.

Data Source # contains the number of the data source that contains the mappeddisplay data variable. The column is read-only.

Data Var # contains the number of the mapped display data variable. The columnis read-only.

Data Source Name contains the name of the data source that contains the mappeddisplay data variable. Entering a valid data source name to an empty cell enablesthe user to enter also a display data variable name. If more than one data sourcesare found with equal name, the first one will be used. Entering a valid data sourcename to non-empty cell removes an existing data variable mapping. Deleting cell

contents, or entering an empty string, deletes an existing data variable mapping. Display Data Var Name contains the name of the mapped display data variable.Before entering a data variable name, data source name must always be specifiedfirst. Entering a valid data variable name to an empty cell maps the subdrawingdata variable to the display data variable (and deletes existing constant mapping).If more than one data variables are found with equal name, the first one will beused. Entering a valid data variable name to non-empty cell changes the datavariable mapping. Deleting cell contents, or entering an empty string, deletes anexisting data variable mapping (but leaves the data source name as is).

3.1.4.2. User interface components

Symbols sheet

The user interface components of Symbols sheet have the following purposes:

Mapping sheet

The user interface components of Mappings sheet have following purposes:

Write Object Details to Each Row check box

Defines whether or not LBE writes object numbers and names to each row. Whenthis option is not checked, the Mappings sheet is usually more readable, but theobject details are needed in each row sometimes when AutoFilters are applied.

Data Source sheet

The user interface components of Data Source sheet have the following purposes:

Data Source text box, spin button and list box

Active data source can be changed by entering a valid data source number to thetext box, changing the data source number with the spin button, or selecting thedata source from the list box. Entering a string to the list box renames the activedata source. It is not recommended to have empty data source names, or severaldata sources with equal name in one Process Display.

Application text box and spin button

Application number of the data source can be changed by entering a valid numberto the text box or changing the number with the spin button. The controls areenabled only when a MicroSCADA data source is active.
