GB CHATTER NOTIFICATION CONFIGURATION 1303

Description

System. It treats the measurement or the alarm according to a set of rules . The rules tests the new measurement
or alarm, and decides - according to its origin - how to treat it.

A verbal description of a rule could be:

by the SCADA plug-in and the result forwarded to the SCADA-system.

Chatter Notification Engine - the component which receives the measurement or the alarm
Chater Rules Engine - the component which determines the further treatment of the measurement or alarm
SCADA plug-in - the component which treats data before forwarding them to the SCADA-system
STORMFLOW plug-in - the component which calculates numbers, durations and amount of spill during stormflows
based on a level measurement. The results is forwarded to a SCADA system.

Functions overview

General

If new data is detected, they are treated by a Chater Rules Engine, which determines - according to a set of rules ­which plug-in will treat the data.

Plug-in's

received from Chater Rules Engine

SCADA plug-in

This plug.-in receives data from Chater Rules Engine and creates a file with comma-separated values from the data. This
file with comma-separated values contains measurement or alarm data which is delivered to various SCADA-systems.

The current version will supply data for:

7-Tedhnologies IGSS32 release 8 with DDHC Data FileDriver (Driver ID 66) installed.
7-Tedhnologies IGSS32 release 9 with DDHC Data FileDriver (Driver ID 66) installed.

STORMFLOW plug-in

This plug-in receives data from Chater Rules Engine and creates a file with comma-separated values from the data. This
file with comma-separated values contains data on stormflows which is delivered to various SCADA-systems.

The current version will supply data for:

7-Tedhnologies IGSS32 release 8 with DDHC Data FileDriver (Driver ID 66) installed.
