Connecting Process Objects to Event Channel. ABB MicroSCADA 54 Pages
MicroSCADA is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software developed by ABB. It is used for real-time monitoring and control of power networks. MicroSCADA can be used to supervise and control various electrical applications, such as substations, power grids, and distribution networks. This thesis explores the use of predictive maintenance for MicroSCADA applications.

7.3.3 Connecting Process Objects to Event Channel
The event channel and command procedure should both be now created. The next step is linking desired process objects with the event channel. Communication problems in stations create an alarm in process objects, the logical names (LN) of which are by default named “SYS_S***I”, with an index (IX) of 10. These objects should be configured so that every time a new alarm is born, it launches
“STA_ALARM” event that was created before. This is made in “Events” tab of
“Configurable” tab. The name of the event, in this case “STA_ALARM”, should be written in the “Action Name (AN)” field or it can also be chosen from the list.
“Action at First Update (AF)” should be checked, so that the event is launched every time a new alarm is updated. The event is enabled by checking “Action
Enabled (AE)” and “Event Object enabled (EE)” boxes. The configuration of process object is shown in Figure 13.
