we are just embarking on a new SCADA project using SCADA 2018 and considering the use of the equipment dbf etc. can someone explain the following:
- what is the purpose of the equipment hierarchy in the equipment dbf? is a flat structure preferred as opposed to using ISA 95 architecture
- In the variable dbf, there's an item name field. Can the field be used to specify an item name that does not associate with any equipment type?
- In the equipment type setup screen, can we create variable tags without specifying the address? can that be populated within the variable.dbf itself after "update equipment" is used?
Thank you
