12. Checking Communication
You can verify that communication between FIX/iFIX software and the process
hardware is correct by using the following step-by-step procedure for setting up a
single data link and configuring the SI7 driver. The procedure consists of the
following three tasks:
[1] Adding the SI7 driver to your SCADA configuration and launching the SI7
Power Tool.
[2] Configuring a device with the Power Tool.
[3] Adding a data link to an operator display in the Intellution WorkSpace to
ensure you can send and receive data between the process hardware and the
SI7 driver.
To add the SI7 I/O driver to a SCADA configuration and launch the SI7 I/O Driver
Power Tool
[1] Start the System Configuration Utility (SCU):
[a] Select Programs from the Start menu.
[b] Select Intellution FIX or iFIX from the Programs menu.
[c] Select System Configuration from the pop-up menu that appears.
[2] Select SCADA from the Configure menu. The SCADA Configuration dialog
box appears.
[3] Click the question mark (?) next to the I/O Driver Name field. A list of drivers
installed on the local node appears.
[4] Select the SI7 I/O driver and click Add. The SI7 I/O driver adds to the
Configured I/O Drivers list.
[5] Click OK to close the SCADA Configuration dialog box and select Tasks
from the Configure menu. The Task Configuration dialog box appears.
[6] Verify that I/O Control appears in the Configured Task list box.
