Associated with: SCADAPack 50 Digital Points in the device. SCADAPack 50 Analog Point and SCADAPack 50 Counter Point database items in ClearSCADA.
Security permission required to access this pick action: Control.
You can set up a device point to record a Counter's count. The Counter's count is the number of times a particular event has occurred. You can represent the Counter's count in ClearSCADA as an Analog or a Counter point database item.
Use this pick action to reset to 0 an unscaled Counter's count value for a device point. The device will not receive the action request until it has sent at least one more set of data SMS messages. Therefore, the reset will not take place immediately. When ClearSCADA sends a reset request to the device, the arrival time depends on the GSM network and the device availability. Therefore, you need to wait for a confirmation response from the device before you send another reset request.
You should set the Var Type of a device point that records a Counter's count to Counter (see Configure SCADAPack 50 Device Point Properties).
In response to this pick action, the device will send a notification of the time when it reset the value. ClearSCADA stores this time information and the reset value.
NOTE: If you are using this pick action with the Automation Interface, you need to specify the method name ResetCounterCount.
