Chapter 11: PROGRAmmING FOR PHONe LINe APPLICATIONS DeSTINATIONS SCADA 3000 will call up to 64 telephone numbers or E-mail addresses (both referred to as destinations) to report alarm conditions or send reports. Destinations can be voice calls, fax machines, computers with modems running SCADA 3000 software, E-mail addresses, numeric pagers, or alphanumeric pagers.
Page 86: E-Mail
For this to work you must have an internet e-mail account and regis- ter the unit with Phonetics. The unit will automatically dial a toll-free number to the e-mail server at Phonetics and then forward the information to you. A monthly fee is required to receive e-mail from your SCADA 3000.
Page 87: Call Zones
Chapter 11: Programming for Phone Line Applications A = alphanumeric pager ID: The “A” dialing code is used ONLY for alphanumeric pager des- tinations. It is placed between the pager company’s telephone number and a particular pager’s ID number by typing the letter A (upper or lower case). It instructs SCADA 3000 to wait until a connection is made to the alphanumeric pager service’s computer system before trans- mitting the ID number for a particular pager.
Page 88: Alarm Call Mode
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual Alarm Call mode The Alarm Call Mode determines the calling priority for each destination. The three choices are Disabled, Until Acknowledged, and Inform. Disabled Destinations programmed with Alarm Call Mode Disabled will never be called. This is simply a way to disable dialing to this destination if necessary.

Chapter 12: PROGRAmmING FOR RADIO APPLICATIONS INTRODUCTION Wireless communication with one or more SCADA 3000s may be accomplished via radio modems. In this scenario, one radio modem would be connected to the host computer and additional radio modems would be connected to each SCADA 3000 on the network. • The transmit frequency of the host PC radio modem must match the receive fre- quency of the radio modem at each SCADA 3000.
Page 116: Flow Control
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual modems do not require flow control; as a result, the COM2 configuration jumper may be left in the STD (standard) position. When flow control is not used, the radio modem will simply continue to send data until a short period of silence occurs. Note: Be sure to set each unit’s modbus ID to a unique number BEFORE power- ing up all of the units on your network.

Chapter 17: PID PROGRAmmING The SCADA 3000 includes eight programmable PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) con- trol algorithms which allow the unit to operate as a feedback controller. A feedback controller is typically used to maintain a set point for a process. In a feedback control application you would have one input (the feedback) and one output (the force or mechanism) that allows you to maintain the setpoint.
Page 214: Pid Algorithm
SCADA 3000 User’s Manual • Dead Zone: This is the amount of variation that can be tolerated around the Target Set Point. For example, if the you were trying to maintain a pressure of 75 PSI +/- 10, you would enter a value of 10 for the Dead Zone. This will permit the pressure to vary between 65 and 85 PSI without effecting any correc- tion. Note that entering a value of 0 for the Dead Zone will cause the output to change frequently, which may be undesirable with certain types of equipment.

Chapter 17: PID Programming tuning factor Kp. The higher the value of Kp the more influence this parameter has on the con- troller output. The integral term is computed by taking the integral of the error over a recent time interval and multiplying it by the Integral tuning factor Ki.
Page 216 SCADA 3000 User’s Manual If the lag time is brief, however, and the process reacts quickly to the controller’s efforts, then the integral term plays less of a role in the controller’s output, as the errors will be too short- lived for it to work.
