4. Configuration and adjustment of the system

As it can be seen in the section above, OpenSCADA allows configuration for execution in various roles. Support of this possibility is provided by the developed mechanisms for configuration and storage of configuration data. This section contains a description of these mechanisms, designed to demonstrate the flexibility and diversity, thereby allowing to use OpenSCADA to 100%.

In describing the configuration mechanisms and methods of its storage in this section it will be focused the description of system-wide mechanisms. Features of the configuration of modules of subsystems of OpenSCADA are provided in their own module's documentation.

In OpenSCADA it is used the formalized approach to describing the configuration interfaces based on XML. In fact, features of the component's configuration are provided by the component itself, thereby running through the whole system, as the nervous system of the organism. In terms of OpenSCADA it is called the interface of control of OpenSCADA (Control interface). On the basis of the control interface the graphical interfaces of the user configuration are generated by means of modules of OpenSCADA. This approach has the following important advantages:

In OpenSCADA the three configuration modules on the different basis of visualization are provided. Lets observe them and their configuration options:

Configuration values, changed in the configurators, as well as most of the data are stored in databases (DB). Given the modularity of subsystems "DB", there can be different database. Moreover, there is the possibility of storing different OpenSCADA parts in different databases of the same type and in the database of different types as well.

In addition to the database configuration information may be contained in the OpenSCADA configuration file, and passed through the command line parameter's when you call OpenSCADA. Saving the configuration in the configuration file is carried out on an equal footing with the database. Standard name of the OpenSCADA configuration file is /etc/oscada.xml. The format of the configuration file and command line parameters we'll examine in the separate section.

Some node's configuration changing will set the modification flag for the node, and also will set active for buttons "Load from DB", for loading the first configuration, and "Save to DB" for the changes saving. The modification flag also rise to parrent node, which allow for restore-save from root node, but real into operations with DB will participate only modified nodes.  (2 Kb) A node removing causes to removing it from storage-DB and modification mechanism do not work for this operation.

Many of the settings and configuration objects OpenSCADA, which are executed or are already enabled, are not applied immediately, as for changes, because the configuration is read/apply usually only when turn on or start. Therefore to apply the changes, in such cases, it is enough to enable/disable enabled object or to restart the running — start/stop. Presently many configurations, which its are not provided applying for now, just are not allowed for editing.

Further examining of the OpenSCADA configuration will be based on the interface of the configurator UI.QTCfg, but the principles of work will be fully consistent with the rest of the configurators owing to the generality in the control interface of OpenSCADA.

We will start examining with the configuration of system parameters of OpenSCADA, which is located in the six tabs at the root page of the station:

To modify the fields of this page it may be required the super user's rights. Get these rights you can by means of including your user into the superuser's group "root", or by entering the station from the superuser "root".

We must mention another one important point: the fields of the identifiers of all OpenSCADA objects are unacceptable for direct editing, because they are keys for storage of objects' data in the database. However, to change the object's identifier you can by the command of cutting and the further pasting of the object (Cut-> Paste) in the configurator.

The service task of the redundancy mechanism is always running and executed at intervals which are prescribed in the appropriate configuration field. The real work on implementing the redundancy is carried out in the presence of at least one redundant station in the list of stations, and implies:

There is recommended the redundancy configure in way for DBs of the redundant stations save equal and that will allow you to copy its painlessly to each the station and then to backup only one the DBs set. And the configurations specified to the different stations will save into the configuration file and you can simply configure and change the needed station by the proper configuration file select.

The redundancy configuration start from the redundant stations appending to list of system stations OpenSCADA in tab "Subsystem" of the subsystem "Transports" (Fig.4.3b). And to add here needs not only the redundant stations to the current one but the same current one with its external IP, that is some loop. Further this configurations will have been stored into the generic DB of the redundant system, and from this time the DBs will be used for that all redundant station creation. Then there is important to make on that stage all needed changes into the generic DB and about this project in general!

Next for the concrete station, with copy of the generic DB, we configure its specific parameters into the tab "Redundancy" of the main page (Fig.4c), which will be stored into the configuration file.

After that all next configurations of redundancy perform into the tab "Redundancy" of proper subsystem, "Data acquisition" (Fig.4.5b) or "Archives" (Fig.4.6b). If you will set the parameter "Local primary commands transfer" (Fig.4c) then the configurations, like to any other generic configurations, can be performed at any one from the stations and all the performed changes will be transferred to all other ones, sure if its are available.

For OpenSCADA different working specific debug you may be necessary to enable addition-debugging messages generation, which you can set by select minimal messages level, into tab "Station", to "Debug (0)". As a result of this will emerge tab "Debug" (fig.4e) where available the objects counters for control to leaks, and also the table with incoming debug messages' categories list. Into the table you can select only needed debug messages sources and omit to overload the archiving messages subsystem and overall the system performance decrease. You can also select higher categories, up to root system category, that will disable detailed selection and enable all messages generation by the level or by overall system. For the debug messages observing you need to go subsystem "Archives" (fig. 4.6c), and for this provided button "See to messages". Selected debug mode and debug categories list can be standard stored to configuration file and on next boot the debug mode will be activated, this important primarily for the objects counters.

While examining the configuration pages of modular subsystems there will be described the general for all modules properties. However, it should be noted that each module can provide both: the additional tabs, and separate fields for the configuration of their own functioning for the pages, objects of which are inherited by modules. Information on the features and additions of the modules can be found in separate documentation for each of them.

Each database contains its own configuration page with the tabs "Data base", "Tables" and "SQL", in case SQL-requests support. Besides the basic operations you can copy the contents of the DB by means of the standard function for the copying the objects in the configurator. The copying operation the DB contents involves the copying of the original database to the destination database, and the contents of the destination database is not cleared before the copy operation. Copying the contents of database is made only when the both databases are enabled, otherwise it will run a simple copy of the object of the database.

Tab "Data base" (Fig.4.1e) contains the main configuration options of the DB as follows:

Tab "Tables" (Fig.4.1f) contains the list of the opened pages. In normal mode of the program operation this tab is empty, because after the completion of working with tables the program closes them. The presence of opened tables tells that the program is now working with tables or tables are opened by the user to examine their contents. In the context menu of list of opened tables you can open the table for study (the command "Add"), close the opened page (the command "Delete") and proceed to examination of the contents of the table.

Tab "SQL" (Fig.4.1g) allow only for data bases which support SQL-requests, and contains field to request enter, button to request send and table to result. To control the request transaction context provided by separate configuration field.

The subsystem is not modular. To configure the subsystem the subsystem's page "Modules scheduler" is provided, it contains tab "Subsystem". The "Subsystem" tab (Fig.4.9a) contains the basic settings of the subsystem. The structure of the tab "Subsystem":

The main configuration tab of subsystem "Modules scheduler". (142 Kb)

4.10. Configuration file of the OpenSCADA and parameters of command-line OpenSCADA execution.

Configuration file of the OpenSCADA system is provided to store the system and general configuration of OpenSCADA-station. Only in the configuration file and through the command-line options you can specify the part of the key system parameters of the station, so familiarity with the structure of the configuration file is necessary for professionals who make solutions based on OpenSCADA.


The configuration file of the OpenSCADA system can be called somehow, but the oscada.xml name and derived from it are accepted. The configuration file is usually indicated when you start the station by the command-line option "--config=/home/roman/roman/work/OScadaD/etc/oscada_demo.xml". For the convenience of the calling the startup scripts of the station are created with the correct configuration file or used the project manager at start script openscada_start. For example script (openscada_demo) uses for the demo station execution:


#!/bin/sh
openscada --config=/etc/oscada_demo.xml $@


If the configuration file is not specified then the standard configuration file: /etc/oscada.xml is used.


Structure of the configuration file based on the extensible markup language XML. Therefore the strict adherence to the rules of XML syntax is required. An example of the configuration file of the OpenSCADA, with configuration nodes of most of the OpenASCADA components, is given below:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<OpenSCADA>
    <!--
    This is the OpenSCADA configuration file.
    -->
    <station id="AGLKS">

        The station is OpenSCADA program.

Lets examine in details the structure of the configuration file. A configuration file can contain a configuration of several stations in the sections <station id="AGLKS"/>. To attribute set the identifier of the station. Using one or another section of the station at startup is specified by the command-line option --station=AGLKS. Section of the station directly contains parameters of the station and subsystems' sections. Configuration options of the section are written in the form <prm id="StName">AGLKS</prm>. Where in the attribute <id> the ID of the attribute is specified, and in the tag's body the value of parameter "AGLKS" is specified. The list of available options and their description for the station and all other sections can be obtained from the console by calling OpenSCADA with parameter --help.


Sections of subsystem (<node id="sub_DAQ" />) contains parameters of subsystem, sections of modules and sections of tables of reflections of the data of databases in the configuration file. Sections of modules (<node id="mod_DiamondBoards" />) contain the individual parameters of modules and sections of tables of reflection of the data of databases in the configuration file.


Sections of the tables of reflection of the data of databases are provided for placement in the configuration file records of DB tables for the OpenSCADA components. Lets examine the table of incoming transports "Transport_in" of subsystem transports (<node id="sub_Transport">) from the example of configuration file above. The table contains two records with fields: ID, MODULE, NAME, DESCRIPT, ADDR, PROT, START. After booting with this section and in general without the DB in the subsystem "Transports" of the "Sockets" module you'll see two input transports. Formats of the table's structures of the main components are included in the demo configuration files. For the details of the database's structure you should read the relevant documentation of modules or simple save the object into the configuration file.


The result of the command: # ./openscada_AGLKS --help
