Here is the process to get the sensus FTP file system working on PnPScada
Things you need to have and know before you start:
- Can you restart the PnPScada server once you have added the server
- If available for testing, a copy of the zip file from the sensus controller
- An FTP Client in order to upload the zip file and test the process
I use Filezilla on Windows - In order to get this to be automated, you will need to setup the ftp server on the sensus controller
Steps to follow in order to get the process working
- Logon to the organization as the administrator account where you want to have the meters loaded
- Click Add New
- Servers
- Sensus Ftp Server
- Give the server a name
- Keep the file column set as 3
- -> Finish
- Restart the server
On the main administrator account there should be ?Server configurator? on the home screen - Click on this
- You should see Admin appear (Click on Admin)
- You should now be in the Overview screen with the admin server configurator selected
- Click Tools -> Server Restart
Put in a reason (e.g. FTP Setup)
-> Restart Server Now
It should start counting and in 30 seconds will reboot - Logout of all the PnPScada screens
After the server restart
- Logon to PnPScada (Back to where you added the FTP Server)
- Open your ftp Client software
- Server address = server.pnpscada.com
- Username = organization. Username
- Password = ****
- Once logged onto the server, you should have a list of folders on the server
- Open the folder called DATA
- Now create a new folder within DATA,
- This will be where the files are uploaded
- You can use the site name as the folder name as an example
- Transfer the Zip file into the newly created folder
- After 2 to 3 minutes, you should now have the following on your home screen in PnPScada
- Sensus Scout / iPerl / Webdyn Gateway
- Click on this and you should see the Site name
- Click on that and all the meters get listed
You are now setup and ready to add meter accounts and rename the meters accordingly
