Some driver-specific settings need configuring on the server by a system administrator when a system is first installed. These settings are configured using the ClearSCADA Server Configuration tool. For information on accessing the ClearSCADA Server Configuration tool, see Configuring Advanced Driver Server Settings in the ClearSCADA Guide to Advanced Drivers.
If any SCADAPack controllers on your system are running RealFLO, in addition to defining the settings on the ClearSCADA Server Configuration Tool’s SCADAPack Modbus section, a system administrator will also need to define the settings on the tool’s RealFLO section. This section explains how to configure the RealFLO settings. For information on configuring the SCADAPack Modbus settings, see Configuring SCADAPack Modbus Server Settings in the ClearSCADA Guide to the SCADAPack Modbus Driver.
When the RealFLO extension driver is first installed on a ClearSCADA system, a system administrator should:
- Define the Minimum Drift before ClearSCADA Sets the RealFLO Clock.
- Define the Flow Computer Command Timeout.
- Specify Whether ClearSCADA is to Check that each Flow Computer ID is Unique.
- Apply the changes to the server (see Configuring Advanced Driver Server Settings in the ClearSCADA Guide to Advanced Drivers).
- If the driver is currently running on the server, restart the driver for the changes to take effect (see Start and Stop a Driver in the ClearSCADA Guide to Server Administration).
ATTENTION: This driver is an extension driver. To restart an extension driver, you restart its 'parent' driver. As such, any other extension drivers that are supported by the 'parent' driver, and that are running on your system, will also be restarted.
- Repeat the procedure for each server on the system, other than Permanent Standby servers.
