INTRODUCTION
This User Guide describes how to configure and operate the software Data Manager from 7-Technologies. Data Manager is an online database application for configuring, preprocessing and administrating raw data from any data source such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and Data Loggers . The data can then be used in the 7T online products AQUIS, LIQUIS,TERMIS, Demand Manager and Leak Detection. Data Manager is used in order to: Receive data from any data source such as SCADA systems, Data Loggers etc. Perform data conversion, data checks and data emulation for data received. These processes are performed by the data preprocessor. Maintain cyclic buffers of week profiles for selected SCADA tags. Make the preprocessed data available for online simulations (real-time and historical). Automatically backup historical data (Access databases only).
Figure 1.1 illustrates how Data Manager intercommunicates with external units, modules and programs.

3.1.6
IMPORT > TIME SERIES
You can import measurements from an ASCII file to the historical section of the database. The ASCII file containing the measurements must have a format as described in Appendix B. In the File menu, point to Import, and then click Time Series to open the dialog box displayed in Figure 3.7 below. Please compare bullet points 1-7 in the following paragraphs to the corresponding numbers in Figure 3.7. Import rules In the Import rules area within the Import Time Series dialog box, enter a Start time, an End time and an Import interval. In the Start time box, only data with time tags succeeding the start time will be imported. If the field is left blank, the start time of the import will equal the first time tag in the ASCII file. In the End time box, only data with time tags preceding the end time will be imported. If the field is left blank, the stop time of the import will equal the last time tag in the ASCII file. In the Import interval box, you may specify the time interval in minutes between data groups. Please note that if no import interval is defined, the time tags generated in the database will equal those from the import files. If an import interval is specified, the time tags within the database will be generated from start time to end time with a time interval equivalent to the import interval. If you check the Include preprocessor check box, the data will be imported through a data preprocessor. For more information about the preprocessor, For more information about data preprocessing, see sections 3.2.4 and 3.3.1. Clicking the Import button will now start the data import from each selected ASCII file. Scheduler In the Scheduler Settings area, you can set up a scheduler to automatically run a daily import at defined time intervals. When having defined up to four time intervals, click the Schedule button, if you want to close the dialog box and start the Scheduler. On the information bar, the status of the TSI Scheduler has changed to display the time for the next scheduling. If you have not selected at least one of the Active check boxes within the Scheduler Settings area in the Import Time Series dialog box, TSI Scheduler will display Off as default. Please note, that importing time series may lead to data groups with different numbers of measurements in each data group. Only if each SCADA tag has a measurement at each time tag, all data groups will contain measurements from all SCADA tags.

3.2 CONFIGURE MENU

The Configure menu contains commands for configuring data sources, data tags, cyclic buffers and definitions of default database settings. Below you can see descriptions of the dialog boxes related to these commands.
3.2.1
DATA SOURCES
When you configure how data are to be collected in Data Manager, you must first configure the data sources. In the Configure menu, click Data Sources to open the dialog box displayed in Figure 3.11. The following five connection types are available:

OLE DB DAIO External OPC Algorithm You must define different parameters depending on the type of data source. There are no limitations to the number of sources of each type as long as they have unique names. The check boxes Active and UTC are common settings for all types of data sources. If the Active check box is selected, Data Manager will search for new data in each data preprocessing cycle. Selecting the UTC check box, will make Data Manager convert the raw UTC (coordinated universal time) timestamp to a local timestamp value.
OLE DB This connection type is used when the data source is a database that can be accessed via ActiveX Data Objects. In the Connection type list, select OLE DB. If data for all tags in this source can be extracted by a generic SQL statement, the statement can be defined on data source level instead of tag level. You may use two substitution rules in SQL statements: $TAG and $LastTime. $TAG will be replaced by the individual tag name, and $LastTime will be replaced by the time tag of the previous data extracted for each individual tag. When using the $LatTime substitution rule a full substitution including the time stamp format for the specific database is used:

#YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS# "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" { ts 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' }
for Access data sources for SQL Server data sources for ODBC data sources
Seven Technologies

Figure 3.11 Data sources, OLE DB
DAIO This connection type is used if data is transferred by a separate application, which is activated by Data Manager, transfers the data. In the Connection type list, select DAIO. You can add any parameters if needed, see Figure 3.12 for example of the standard DMDAIO which is supplied with Data Manager..
Seven Technologies

Figure 3.12 Data sources, DAIO
External This connection type is used if data is delivered to Data Manager by an external data source without any action or control made from Data Manager. In the Connection type list, select External. You cannot define parameters for data sources.
Seven Technologies

Page 22 of 64
Figure 3.13 Data sources, External
OPC This connection type is used if data is to be extracted from an OPC server or uploaded to an OPC server. In the Connection type list, select OPC. Data will be transferred through the Data Manager OPC Client, which you must configure separately.
Seven Technologies

Page 23 of 64
Figure 3.14 Data sources, OPC
Algorithm In the Connection type list, select Algorithm. This connection type is used for calculating arithmetic expressions or doing reductions on tags within Data Manager. You cannot define an algorithm on source level, as arithmetic expressions are entered on tag level.
Seven Technologies

3.2.2
DATA TAGS
When you have defined the data sources in a configuration, the tags in the data sources must be added and configured. In the Configure menu, click Data Tags to open the dialog box displayed in Figure 3.16.
Seven Technologies

Page 25 of 64
Figure 3.16 The Data Tags dialog box
Click Add New , if you want to create a tag, or click Edit to modify an existing tag. The Data Tag Details dialog box displayed in Figure 3.17 opens. When you create a tag, you have to select a Source, a Parameter and Data Manager Status from the lists.
Extract tab If you select the None option on the Extract tab, Data Manager will not extract or generate new data for the tag. If the data source type is OLE DB, you must define an SQL expression. Select the SQL option, and then specify what data to be extracted from the data source and transferred to the relevant tag in Data Manager. You can specify a default SQL on data source level, or you can define a specific SQL on tag level, which will mean that the SQL on tag level is used for the extraction. If you want to use the algorithm source in Data Manager, you must select the Arithmetic or the Reduction option on the Extract tab. Then Data Manager can do mathematical calculations by use of all other tags. If you want further information about arithmetic expressions, please see APPENDIX C for a complete list of allowed arithmetic expressions and operators. Figure 3.17 displays how to add the measurements from two tags and store the result in the arithmetic data source. Tag names in Arithmetic must be enclosed in square brackets ([ and ]). When arithmetic expressions are calculated, the individual tags will be replaced by the latest preprocessed value. The result will be used as a raw value for the arithmetic tag, and then you can do configurations as for normal tags, for example data conversion.
Seven Technologies

Page 26 of 64
Figure 3.17 Defining Arithmetic on the Extract tab in the Data Tag Details dialog box
If you want perform a data reduction, select the Reduction option. You can choose three types of reduction expressions; that is time series minimum, average and maximum. The expressions are defined as follows: TSmin(['Tag'], 'Period', 'Time Assignment') TSavg(['Tag'], 'Period', 'Time Assignment') TSmax(['Tag'], 'Period', 'Time Assignment')
These reduction functions will each create a time series, in which the time interval equals the 'Period' for the selected 'Tag'. 'Time Assignment' values are "L", "C" and "R", which indicates if the reduced data time tag will be justified left, centre or right of the reduction interval. Figure 3.18 displays the data reduction "TSmin([q1],5,C)". This expression will create a time series with five minute intervals starting at midnight. Every five minutes the data is reduced to one value only, in this case to the minimum value. The reduced value is then added to the timestamp in the centre of the interval. If an interval does not contain a value, the preceding reduced value will be reused.

Figure 3.19 The Conversion tab in the Data Tag Details dialog box
Check tab After converting the data, you can configure data checks. In the Absolute value area, you must enter a minimum and a maximum value for data conversion. If the converted value is not within the given interval, it will be emulated. To enable the Absolute value feature, make sure that you have selected the Active check box. In the Rate of change area, a minimum and a maximum value are used for checking that the converted value has changed within the given interval since the previous converted value. If not, it will be emulated. To enable the Rate of change feature, make sure that you have selected the Active check box. When you enable both the Absolute value and the Rate of change options by selecting the Active check boxes, data will be emulated, if either of the checks fails.

Other tab The Store historical data check box is selected by default as displayed in Figure 3.24. The selection ensures that historical data is saved in the database, thus making it available in other applications. If you do not want to save historical data, clear the Store historical data check box. If the check box is selected, enter an interval in minutes in the Storage interval (minutes) box, and select the Store historical data in packets check box, if you want Data Manager to save the preprocessed data in compressed data packets in the database. Check the Update client box in the OPC area, if you want the converted data from a tag to be available for the OPC Client.

3.2.3
CYCLIC BUFFERS
A cyclic buffer is a time series dynamically maintained by the data preprocessor (see section 3.3.1). The time series is made up of time tags of identical intervals, for example one hour. When enabled, the preprocessor maintains all enabled buffers by updating the minimum, maximum and average value where the time tag corresponds to the actual time. A buffer may contain any number of SCADA tags to be maintained as a uniform time series. If you define a historical period in weeks, the buffer tags are calculated based on minimum, maximum and averages over this period. A historical offset may be defined, e.g. a historical period of 2 and a historical offset of 3 will go 3 weeks back in time and then use the 2 weeks before that to calculate the buffer. In the Configure menu, click Cyclic Buffers to open the dialog box displayed in Figure 3.25. In the Cyclic Buffers dialog box, you can: Select a buffer from the Buffer name list, which contains all defined buffer names Click the New button and type a name, if you want to add a new buffer to the configuration Click the Rename button to type a new name for an existing buffer Click the Copy As button to use an existing buffer as a "template" for creating a new buffer The Buffer container box includes a list of all the SCADA tags included in the displayed buffer. If you want to delete a tag from the current buffer, select the relevant tag in the Buffer container box, and click the Remove selected tags from buffer button. If you want to delete more than one tag, hold down the CTRL key while you select the tags to be deleted, and then click Remove selected tags from buffer. To add a SCADA tag to the current buffer, select the tag from the Select tag to add to buffer list, and
Seven Technologies

Page 34 of 64 click Add. In the Buffer Settings area, you can define the time series intervals for the buffer and set the historical averaging period. To enable the buffer and make the buffer time series reinitialize when closing the buffer configuration, select the Buffer enabled check box. If needed, you may add a descriptive comment to the buffer in the Comment field. Click the Initialize button to initialize the current buffer, and click Apply, if you want to save changes to the buffer without closing the dialog box. When you have clicked Apply, the action(s) cannot be undone. Click Close to close the dialog box and automatically save the changes, whereas clicking the Cancel button closes the dialog box without saving any changes, unless you previously clicked Apply. Please note that clicking the Delete button will remove all information from the Cyclic Buffers dialog box. However, you can restore the original buffer settings by clicking Reset.

PREFERENCES
In the Configuration menu, click Preferences to open the dialog box displayed in Figure 3.26. In the Preferences dialog box, you must define a number of general parameters on the four tabs before the system can be configured, such as system log, auto start, default substitution rules and historical data and backup definitions. The most important parameters are described below.
Seven Technologies

Page 35 of 64 General tab On the General tab (see Figure 3.26), select either the Basic, the Medium or the Detailed option to specify the detail level of system logging, and then select the Enable check box. When enabling system logging, a log file is maintained in the working folder. It may be useful to select the Detailed logging option for extensive systems, in case you will experience system behavior irregularities. Detailed logging is not recommended for regular operation, as it slows down system performance considerably. The autostart feature automatically restarts all processes that were running when the program was closed. If you select the Autostart all processes check box, you must define whether you want the system to restore After unauthorized shutdown or After Data Manager restart. The After unauthorized shutdown option restarts all processes, if Data Manager was not closed properly, for instance in case of power failure. The After Data Manager restart option will restart Data Manager with the same option settings as before Data Manager was closed. Data Manager will only restore automatically, if a shortcut to Data Manager is placed in Windows Startup. Click Start on the Windows taskbar, point to All Programs > 7T > Data Manager 2.0, and drag Data Manager to All Programs > Startup. In the Editor box, type the name of a text editor, for example Notepad.exe, or click the browse button to select a text editor. In the Working folder box, type the location of your working folder, or browse for a working folder by clicking the button .

Page 36 of 64 Preprocessor tab Each data preprocessor cycle evaluates the raw data by performing a series of checks on raw status and raw value. The preprocessed value is returned together with a data preprocessor status that reflects the quality of the preprocessed measurement. The general flow diagram of the data preprocessor feature is illustrated in Figure 3.27. For each cycle, the time of the latest received SCADA unit is saved as a time tag for all the data within the cycle. This is referred to as a data group or a data set. When the preprocessor is enabled, it only processes data from SCADA units that are not defined as disabled/inactive. If no new measurements have been received since the last cycle, the current preprocessing cycle will be canceled.

OPC CLIENT
4.1 OPC INTRODUCTION
The OPC communication is based on the OPC (OLE for Process Control) protocol supported by some SCADA systems. If supported, the SCADA system will include an OPC server enabling OPC clients to subscribe on SCADA objects, which is then updated on changes (event driven). The communication is two-ways allowing exchange of data to and from SCADA.

4.3 GUIDE TO OPC CONFIGURATION

This section describes step by step how an OPC communication is established. It is assumed that the user knows the basic concept of OPC and that an OPC server has been configured and is running.
Step 1: Configure registry Registry must be configured manually using the following entries: Entry [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Technologies\DMOPC] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7Technologies\DMOPC\V2.00.00] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7Technologies\DMOPC\V2.00.00\Environment] "Workdirectory"="C:\\7t\\Databaser" "Config Directory"="C:\\7t\\Databaser" Description Section name Section name Section name Database location for Data Manager database and the basic OPC database. Location of configuration files for DMOPC and OPCBROWSE. Specifically location of the CSV file. File name of OPC data DB. Section name Defines log level of OPC communication. The log level is defined as an integer from 0 to 100. 0 defines that only fatal errors are reported in the log file. Greater values will give increasingly more information. The log file includes two files named drvlog0.log and drvlogx.log located in the configuration directory. Section name Internal setting. Internal setting. Internal setting. Internal setting. Internal setting.

Step 2: Configure Data Manager Source Define a Data Manager source with a user defined name and connection type OPC. An example is displayed in Figure 4-5.
Figure 4-5 Configuration of OPC in Data Manager
Step 3: Configure Data Manager tag names Configure the data tag names using menu item Configure / Data Tags. Define relevant names, OPC source and remember to check field OPC Update client if a value should be transferred from Data Manager to SCADA. A typical configuration screen is displayed in Figure 4-6. The remaining property pages of the configuration are standard.
Seven Technologies

Figure 4-6 Configuration of OPC tag name
Step 4: Configure OPC database via OPC Browser 1. Start the program OPC Browser. 2. Connect to the relevant OPC server using menu item Connect. 3. Activate the menu item Read CSV to load all previously defined tag names. 4. Select a SCADA tag in the left column via a double click and fill in the correct Data Manager tag name in the field named User ID.
5. Repeat the last item 4 until all tag names are defined.
Seven Technologies

Page 57 of 64 6. Tag names may be deleted via a selection of a tag in the right column followed by a right click and selection of Delete or activation of the Delete key. 7. Activate menu item Save CSV to save all configured data. Please observe that the stored CSV file will replace earlier stored data in the database (OPC data DB) as soon as the preprocessing cycle is started in Data Manager.
Step 5: Start Data Manager Start the Data Manager preprocessing cycle. Step 6: Check communication Cross check the data communication from SCADA to the Data Manager (view measurements). A typical error is conflicting tag names between Data Manager and the OPC Browser.
