How to Integrate Aquis with ClearSCADA

Issue This document shows how to integrate Aquis into ClearSCADA. With this integration, an operator would have access to the monitoring information coming from SCADA as well as simulation information coming from the hydraulic model. This will allow him to analyze the behavior of his network and forecast the impact of the operational activities.   The EcoStruxue Web Services data connection is used to facilitate data exchange between Aquis and ClearSCADA. The operator will be able to access the Aquis model directly on ViewX.   This document also provides the necessary guidelines to prepare your PC for the Water Network Management demo. Resolution See attached document.

EcoStruxure Automation Expert - Recommended Naming Conventions in EAE

Issue When building a Solution in EAE, each engineer has their own idea of how to name items such as pins on a function block, the names of Composite or Basic Function Blocks which they create, the names of folders, Symbols, Faceplates and the list goes on. Without a standard naming convention to conform to, a Solution can become an accumulation of unorderly syntaxes. Resolution This article serves to uncover the different naming conventions widely used in real world engineering. A EAE Naming Convention Reference Card is also provided. Its intention is to be used as a guide during your EAE’s engineering lifecycle. It is produced based on close observation of Schneider’s Libraries that comes in EAE.   Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Schneider Electric.

How to create a Plugin for Machine Expert Twin

Issue EcoStruxure Machine Expert Twin Builder provides a wide range of functionality with its user interface. Customized objects are developed in catalogs and handled via catalog DLLs. In order to extend the features of the GUI it is possible to develop Plugins with C#.  Typically a plugin will add buttons to the menu ribbon to trigger functionality e.g. batch import of assemblies from a file, including PLC signals. But Plugins might even extend the general features, e.g. adding OPC UA communication. Resolution Create a Plugin with Twin Developer in C# to add the custom feature to the Twin Builder GUI. See the attached article for more information.
