AquaView 1.60
Product
AquaView is a complete SCADA software for water handling. The data, i.e. pumped
volume, inflow, water level and different kind of pump statistics are clearly viewed and
easily accessible. With the reliable alarm distribution in AquaView, problems can be
avoided.
Minimal time and resources are needed to implement standard units to AquaView,
including process pictures, trend forms, alarms and reports

Communication
AquaView is using a SQL database and the main part of the communication goes directly
via this database as shown in the figure below.

All information, including configuration like alarm texts, setpoint texts etc. can easily be
retrieved from the SQL database.
AquaView Central uses AquaCom for communication via
• Network communication (TCP/UDP)
• GPRS
• Dialed line
• Leased line
• Radio
Verified modems are:
• US Robotics Courrier
• TD-22 V.23
• TD-33
• TD-35 V.23

System configuration
AquaView is designed to work in a network environment, with or without a file server. In a
small system (less than 5 workstations), a Windows Network without a special server may
be used. If more users or a large number of RTUs are connected to the system, it is better
to use a dedicated SQL server and a local area network like Novell Netware or Windows
NT as server program.
AquaView can also use a network connection over an ordinary telephone line using a
standard modem (RAS)2.
With AquaView it is possible to build several types of configurations and all are based on
the standard solution.

Functions

Historical trend
Trend values from analogue measurements are usually stored as 5-minutes average values.
The values are stored in a configurable time based database, from 1-365 days (disk space
and database file size are the limits) Every night the 5-minute values are recalculated and
stored as 1-hour values before deletion.
These values can be stored in the database from 1 day to 365 days. The 1-hour values will
be recalculated to daily values and may be stored as long as required.

If the RTU is capable of sending historical trend data at 1-minute average values, AquaView
Central will save the trend information, making it easy to pinpoint any problems or
irregularities.

Alarm statistics and events

Alarms can be presented in several ways. The search can be based on a RTU and/or
selected alarm and/or time. Alarms and events can be shown as lists or in charts.

Alarm distribution
It is possible to automate the alarm distribution handling with a scheduler. An alarm is
classed as A-, B-, C-, D- or H-types. A-alarm has the highest priority and is used for paging
alarms. The B-type is an alarm of lower priority that will be recorded and printed. The C-
alarms are used on faulty signals. D-alarms can be considered as time-scheduled A-alarms.
The H-type is connected to the event handling and is handled in a special way.
Alarm can be distributed SMS, text messages by using a Westermo GDW-11 modem,
Semascript, TAP protocol or as E-mail using a SMTP server.

OPC DA server support

AquaView Central can now create OPC DA tags for most settings and live items.
