Q12797 - INFO: Custom Collector Configuration for Collector Q12784

Control Buttons at the top:

Apply Settings: Applies the settings selected for all tabs.

Close: Closes the Window without applying settings.

Note: The previous screen will allow you to save the settings, once you have configured the settings and applied them.

Configure Source Data - Use this screen to configure the Collector's connection to the WonderWare Historian.

 

Source Data Folder: This field specifies the location of the Comma Seperated Value (CSV) files.

Import all data points...: If selected, all data in the CSV files are imported to the OPSDATAXML files, which are then available for import into Hach WIMS client.

Import from Data Source Files Option: This option will set a rule as to whether to import, for a given period of time, if data files are present or not. For example, if Import When Files Missing option is selected and the collector tries to import for 1/4/2010 to 1/5/2010, and there are 23 files (one for each hour), but for some reason one file is missing - the OPSDATAXML files will be created. If the option All Files Must be Present to Import is selected, then nothing will be created.

Test Connection: Ensures the Source Data Folder exists

Refresh Settings & Tags: This populates source tags in the Tag Picker tab to the top far right by reading an existing CSV file. If no CSV files are available, select the option Import all data points...

Start HISTD2HW: Starts the HISTD2HW utility program. This program will need to be configured to communicate with WonderWare's HISTDATA program.

Start BSYS2HW: Starts the BSYS2HW utility program. This program, developed by Best Systems LLC, will read CSV files from the Best System utility and put them into a format exactly the same as the HISTD2HW utility creates.

Tag Picker - Use this tab to select the tags that you want to collect data for. The previous tab was telling the collector which tables and columns contain data. Basically, all the data that is available to the collector. This tab is telling the collector which of those columns/tags you want to collect data from. You must configure the Source Connection before using this tab.

 

All Available Tags: This is a list of all the tags that are available in the system that we can collect data for. Also included is the table the tag comes from and the tag's ID.

Filtered Tag List: Tags listed here will have thier data collected.

Search Boxes: The search boxes allow you to search the list of tags for a particular string. The search will start from the currently selected tag (or the top if nothing is selected) so you can continue to press the search button to find the next match.
