Библиотеки/Устройства

Библиотека устройств пользовательских протоколов создана для предоставления доступа к данным промышленных устройств через сеть с довольно простым протоколом, вроде устройств общепромышленной автоматики и счётчиков различных ресурсов, с протоколом достаточно простым для реализации в модуле пользовательского протокола, с использованием присутствующих комплексных протоколов (ModBus, OPC_UA, HTTP) или непосредственно на внутреннем языке подобном на Java.

Названия элементов и их параметров доступны на языках: Английский, Украинский и mRussian. Их исходный код написан в языко(человеческий)-независимом режиме с вызовом функции перевода tr() и перевод этих сообщений также доступен Английским, Украинским и mRussian.

Для подключения библиотеки к проекту станции OpenSCADA Вы можете получить файл БД как:

• такой что поставляется с готовым и соответствующим пакетом дистрибутива Linux вроде "openscada-libdb-main", "openscada-LibDB.Main";
• наиболее актуальный и непосредственно полученный из репозитория subversion, преобразованный в файл БД SQLite путём:

wget http://oscada.org/svn/trunk/OpenSCADA/data/LibsDB/OscadaLibs.sql
sqlite3 -init OscadaLibs.sql OscadaLibs.db .exit

• загрузка прикреплённого тут.

Этот полученный файл вы далее можете разместить в каталоге проекта станции и создать объект базы данных модуля БД "SQLite", зарегистрировав файл базы данных в конфигурации.

Для DAQ-шаблонов, в целом, вам нужно создать представительский объект устройства в модуле Логического Уровня и выбрать соответствующий шаблон из библиотеки шаблонов. Далее, для корректной конфигурации, придерживайтесь специфики шаблона в персональном описании. Концепцию доступа к данным через пользовательский протокол можно изобразить как на рисунке 1.

Рис.1. Концепция доступа к данным через пользовательский протокол.

Как можно видеть с рисунка 1, взаимодействие с устройством происходит через некоторый транспорт на котором они физически базируются. Запрос к транспорту Вы можете отправить:

1. Непосредственно с помощью функции системного API OpenSCADA объекта транспорта string messIO( string mess, real timeOut = 0 );, если протоколоспецифическая часть очень проста и данные Вам нужно лишь извлечь.
2. Завёрнутый запрос данных req, функцией int messIO( XMLNodeObj req, string prt ); и для протокола prt, если протокольная часть достаточно сложная и уже представлена в OpenSCADA.
3. Завёрнутый запрос данных специфический к пользователю с помощью функции int messIO( XMLNodeObj req, "UserProtocol" ); и реализации пользовательского протокола, если протокольная часть достаточно сложная и ещё отсутствует в OpenSCADA. Пользователь реализует тут саму протоколоспецифическую часть в модуле UserProtocol и часть специфическую к данным в шаблоне для модуля Логического Уровня или непосредственно в процедуре контролера на внутреннем языке программирования модуля JavaLikeCalc.

Этот последний метод развит к возможности формирования протокольной части кода непосредственно в том-же коде шаблона, как отдельная встроенная функция через вызовом функции запроса первого метода, если нет необходимости повторного использования, или даже если такая необходимость есть и тут имеет смысл создание комплексного шаблона, который сможет объединять роль и выходного протокола, через его подключение также к модулю пользовательского протокола. И оно будет полностью храниться в одной библиотеке шаблонов.

Прямая работа с выходным транспортом функции string messIO( string mess, real timeOut = 0 ); не предусматривает блокирования транспорта поза вызовом этой функции, а соответственно, для сложных протоколов с посылками ответа более чем в одном пакете, что предусматривает процесс "дожидания", не можно использовать общий транспорт, по которому возможна отправка пакетов различных протоколов или даже один, но в различных задачах (объектах контроллеров). Соответственно, если есть необходимость использования совместного транспорта, то размещайте параметры опроса по протоколу в одном объекте контроллера (задаче) или используйте модуль пользовательского протокола, к которому это замечание не имеет отношения, поскольку он осуществляет такое блокирование на время вызова процедуры обработки, как и остальные модульные протоколы OpenSCADA. Для размещения реализации протокола тут вы должны выполнить и придерживаться приведенных требований:

• быть владельцем прав или автором кода и распространять его под любой свободной лицензией, предпочтение предоставляется GPL;
• приготовить и сохранить в отдельном файле БД SQLite, или как текстовый файл, на предмет: описания параметров (ВВ), кода процедуры написанного и отформатированного согласно какой нидудь системы;
• написать краткое описание и инструкцию подключения устройства по протоколу в способ похожий на другие тут;
• написать прямой запрос в тему форума "Разработка OpenSCADA" на предмет размещения протокола тут, включая доказательства его работоспособности от любого разработчика OpenSCADA или краткое демонстрационное видео.

1 Common protocols

ModBus scanner for Coils (1), Input Coils (2), Registers (3), Input Registers (4); in the range [0...65535]. The template useful to examine unknown ModBus devices, scanning their Coils' and Registers' map for detecting the available data addresses. The scanning performs per one item, whether it is a coil or a register, to prevent the data unavailability for strict data accessing devices. The protocol ModBus itself implemented by the OpenSCADA module DAQ.ModBus, together which the template designed to use.

The template implements currently for the client, which uses the followed functions: Confirm (0x00), Read (0x01), Write (0x02), Enable (0x14) and Disable (0x15) Spontaneous Messages.

And which implements and tested for the followed point-oriented objects (data types):

• 1.[2] — Binary Input [with status]
• 2.[1] — Binary Input Changed [w/o time]
• 3.[2] — Double-bit Input [with status]
• 4.[1] — Double-bit Input Changed [w/o time]
• 10.[2] — Binary Output (reading back and used to write also) [with status]
• 20,21.[1] — Binary Counter (Typical,Frozen) [32-Bit]
• 22,23.[1] — Binary Counter Changed (Typical,Frozen) [32-Bit w/o time]
• 30.[1,5] — Analog Input [32-bit integer value with flag, 32-bit floating point value with flag]

Considering the purpose and the application area, the protocol does not provide the direct determination of the requested data and the device, that implements it, provides all available ones upon request for the Class 0 data, after which only changes are requested for the Classes 1, 2, 3.

All received and controlled data is accumulated in an object of the attribute "items" for further control as an object in a table of the widget "Main.objProps", according to the complex object definition.

For standard control over parameter attributes, including archiving, it is possible to define the necessary data to create a separate representative attribute for them, which is described in the attribute "itemsSet", where they can be defined individually, with a semantic identifier and name, or in a range named by a template. The data in the attribute "itemsSet" is defined by records in the format ai|ao|cnt|di|do:{pnt}[-{endPnt}][:a[:{NameBase}]], where:

• ai|ao|cnt|di|do — data type, where:
  • "ai" — analog inputs, transmitted by the functions 30 and 32;
  • "ao" — analog outputs, transmitted by the function 40;
  • "cnt" — counters, transmitted by the functions 20, 21, 22, 23; so Typical and Frozen counters is in one space;
  • "di" — discrete inputs, transmitted by the functions 1, 2, 3, 4; so Binary Input and Double-bit Input is in one space;
  • "do" — discrete outputs, transmitted by the function 10.
• {pnt} — point number of the range begin;
• {endPnt} — the range end (the last point number);
• a — sign of creating the representative attribute for the parameter or the parameters group;
• {NameBase} — naming base of the attributes.

Examples of the parameters definition, rows of the attribute "itemsSet":

• ai:0-9:a — analog inputs in the points range [0...9] with forming the attributes;
• ao:0-9:a — analog outputs in the points range [0...9] with forming the attributes;
• di:0-9:a — discrete inputs in the points range [0...9] with forming the attributes;
• do:0-9:a — discrete outputs in the points range [0...9] with forming the attributes;
• cnt:0-9:a — counters in the points range [0...9] with forming the attributes.

Details
DLMS or Device Language Message Specification (originally Distribution Line Message Specification), is the suite of standards developed and maintained by the DLMS User Association (DLMS UA) and has been adopted by the IEC TC13 WG14 into the IEC 62056 series of standards.

COSEM or Companion Specification for Energy Metering, includes a set of specifications that defines the transport and application layers of the DLMS protocol. The DLMS User Association defines the protocols into a set of four specification documents namely Green Book, Yellow Book, Blue Book and White Book. The Blue Book describes the COSEM meter object model and the OBIS object identification system, the Green Book describes the architecture and protocols, the Yellow Book treats all the questions concerning conformance testing, the White Book contains the glossary of terms.

In the template implementation were used the follow standards:

• "IEC 62056-46:2007" — Data link layer using HDLC protocol.
• "IEC 13239:2002" — Telecommunications and information exchange between systems — High-level data link control (HDLC) procedures.
• "IEC 62056-53:2006" — COSEM application layer.
• "IEC 62056-61:2006" — Object identification system (OBIS).
• "IEC 62056-62:2006" — Interface classes.

This protocol doesn't specify a way of requesting-acquisition all available variables of the device, like to the protocols IEC-60870 and DNP3, so we need to point their directly and obtain their before that anywhere for the concrete device.

The template was initially implemented to work with the electricity counter Actaris SL7000, for which there were obtained follow useful requesting OBIS codes:

Single items

• "1-0.0.96.1.255.255-2" — serial number;
• "1-0.0.142.1.1.255-2" — software version;
• "8-0.0.1.0.0.255-2" — counter time;
• "3-1.1.14.7.0.255-0" — Frequency Instantaneous (mains frequency);

Multiple-group items

• "7-255.255.98.133.2.255-2" — Total Energy Registers;
• "7-1.1.98.128.1.255-2" — phase angle;
• "7-1.1.98.128.2.255-2" — neutral;
• "7-1.1.98.128.3.255-2" — Power;
• "7-1.1.98.128.4.255-2" — RMS;
• "7-1.1.98.128.5.255-2" — Power factor;
• "7-1.1.98.128.6.255-2" — phase offset.

Due to the communication is slow and archives can be big, status of the read archive data saved at it change, that is you can stop the template or disable PC in whole but the template will continue the archives reading from saved position and not from the begin, which reset you can by the proper boolean attribute.

Template IOs

Configuring and using

1. Create an output transport of the type "Sockets" or "Serial" and set its Identifier like to "umag", one for each the device.

2. Set proper address and timeouts of the Sockets or Serial device.

3. Create and start a logical controller object or a ModBus controller object or use any present one with need scheduling properties — must be set in the period 10...60 seconds.

4. Create a logical parameter object and select the template for that, one for each the devices — enable the parameter.

5. Into the tab "Template configuration" of the logical parameter object you need to set:

• Transport — to the address of the created transport in Step 1. Leave the field empty for the ModBus controller object. Tracing for the address changing is supported.
• Device address [0...247] — to logical address of the device on the bus under the transport in Step 1.
• OpenSCADA archiver for device's archive of hours — set to the value archiver whole ID like to "FSArch.1h" for an archiver with data quality-period in 3600 seconds — create one at missing.
• OpenSCADA archiver for device's archive of days — set to the value archiver whole ID like to "FSArch.1d" for an archiver with data quality-period in 86400 seconds — create one at missing.

• Currents try period — to reading period of current values and last archive values.
• Time limit of processing of archiving — to time limit of execution the procedure during archives reading.

6. RESULT: The logical parameter object will perform interaction and placing of gathered data to the parameter attributes and archives.

7. In the process of the working, through the tab "Archiving" you have to select the archiving parameters in the used archivers to create the representative archives.

8. ... through the tab "Attributes" of operational data, in addition to obtaining the result, it is possible to perform operative setup and control on:

• Reset the archives reading and configuration — to reset positions of the archive reading.

The template implements support for Tianxin V1 protocol of Gas Correctors TC220 from GasElectro. Communication protocol of the devices is completely specific.

The template implements support for FlowGas Gas Correctors of the firm "EPO Signal" LTD.

Communication protocol of the devices is based on standard ModBus but with re-implementing function 16 for reading archives. So, the template became the first one used the template "ModBus base (mbBase)" in own ground.

Parameters, provided by this protocol, are mixed for static and dynamic, that is attributes for archiving parameters are provided by the template and extra current ones can be specified in the attribute "Items set" for dynamic creation the representative attributes. For archiving parameters (4) there is provided only the hourly archive.

The template works in two modes: initial and tracing. Where the initial mode means first reading all archives from hourly one and switching to the tracing mode after finish the reading, that is reading current values and the fresh archiving.

The template implements support for Enron, Daniel Gas Counters.

Communication protocol of the devices is based on ModBus but with registers size 4 bytes instead standard 2 bytes, that is they cannot be polled by the standard OpenSCADA module DAQ.ModBus. So, the template implements that protocol variant on the Logical Level and with main features of the DAQ.ModBus module, that is allows for free registers specifying. On ground the module later was created the "ModBus base (mbBase)" template as a base for further creation related to ModBus templates with standard functions and additional implementing only specific functions.

For numbers need registers go to documentation of vendor the devices! The template provides only reading current values and has not got any archives due to missing such feature in the communication protocol.
