KingSCADA Quick Start Manual – How to collect data from devices IOServer is a data collection application that can collect data from hardware devices like PLCs, Modules, Instruments, etc. It can also collect data from other 3rd‐party applications through an OPC interface. Fig.1 IOServer Application IOServer can be installed with KingSCADA, and the installation package can be downloaded from our website (www.icpdas‐usa.com). After installing KingSCADA, you can find the IOServer folder in the “Start Menu” on your system. See Fig. 2. Fig.2 Find IOServer in Start Menu 1/12
Create a new project using IOServer Step1: Create new IOServer in IOServer Open the IOServer program by clicking on Start Menu‐> KingSCADA ‐> IOServer ‐> KingIOServer. Create a new project by clicking on the “New” button found on the tool bar. Drivers that were not installed along with IOServer can be set up here by clicking on the “DriverSetUp” button on the tool bar. “Monitor” is used to monitor the data collection status while IOServer is running. See Fig.3. Fig.3 IOServer Development Environment Create a new IOServer by filling in the settings as: (See Fig.4) Name: “IOServer1”; Location: “C:\Program Files\KingSCADA\My Projects\”; Type: “IOServer From Driver”. Click OK. Fig.4 IOServer Development Environment Note: 1. After creating the new IOServer project, click "Project‐'IOServer1'" in the Device Tree on the left of the interface to check its properties. 2. To modify these properties by right clicking "Project‐'IOServer1'" and selecting "Edit". See Fig.5. Fig.5 IOServer Project Properties Step2: Create new channel in IOServer 2/12

2. To modify these properties by right clicking on "Device1" and selecting "Edit". Fig.17 Create New Device‐4 Fig.18 Create New Device‐5 Step4: Create a datablock Right click "Device1", and select "New Block..." to create a data block, or right click on the tab titled "Channel1.Device1" and select "New Block...” See Fig.19. 1. Create a new data block, and fill in the settings as follows: (See Fig.20) Block Name: DB0; Register: 4; Fig.19 Create New Data Block‐1 Datatype: BYTE; Address From: 1~100 (Start from 1); Collect Interval: 1000ms. 2. Create one more data block, and fill in the settings as follows: (See Fig.21) Block Name: DB1; Register: 1; Datatype: BYTE; Address From: 1~100 (Start from 1); Collect Interval: 500ms. Fig.20 Create New Data Block‐2 Note: To modify the settings of the data block by double clicking its row in the table of “Channel1.Device1”. Additional: Create a channel named “Channel2” using the simulator driver and use different port from "Channel1". See Fig.22 and Fig.23. Fig.21 Create New Data Block‐3

Fig.22 Create a Simulator Channel‐1 Fig.23 Create a Simulator Channel‐2
1. Create a device for "Channel2", enter "Simulator1" as the device name, and choose "Simulate PLC" for the "Device Series". See Fig.24. 2. Enter any number as the device address. See Fig.25. Fig.24 Create a Simulator Device‐1 Fig.25 Create a Simulator Device‐2 3. Create a data block named “DB0”, and select the “INCREA” register with data type “SHORT”. Define the address range from 0~100. Register “INCREA” can simulate values increasing automatically from 0 to the number entered in the box of register address. For example, register “INCREA100” can automatically increase from 0 to 100. See Fig.26. 4. Create a data block named “DB1”, and select the “RADOM” register with data type “SHORT”. Define the address range as 0 to 100. Register “RADOM” can simulate values changing randomly in the range of 0 to the number entered in the box of register address. For example, register “RADOM100” can randomly change in the range of 0 ~100. See Fig.27. 6/12
Fig.26 Create a Data Block‐1 Fig.27 Create a Data Block‐2 An IOServer project has now been created. Close the development environment and minimize it in the taskbar as shown in Fig. 28. Fig.28 IOServer Minimized in Taskbar Create a new project in KingSCADA to connect with IOServer Step1: Create a new project in KingSCADA Open KMaker to create a new project named "CollectDataFromIOServer". Note: Refer to the details in <KingSCADA_Quick_Start_Manual‐1>. Step2: Create a IOServer connection in the project Click "IOServer" in the Solution Explorer, and then click on "New" at the top left corner of the Content Display Area, or right click the Content Display Area to popup the configuration window ‐ “New IOServer”. See Fig.29. 1. Enter a name ‐ "ConnectWithIOServer1"; 2. Fill in the IP Address and Port consistent with IOServer, enter "127.0.0.1" as IP Address, and enter “12380” as Port; Fig.30 Create IOServer Connection in KingSCADA 3. Click "OK" to finish the configuration. See Fig.31. Note: 1. Check "Auto start IOServer Project" to start the IOServer project automatically when the system boots up. 2. Check "Use Double‐IOServer Hotstandby" to configure the hot standby IOServer. Fig.31 Configure IOServer Connection 7/12
Step3: Create I/O tags Expand "Database" and click "Tag Dictionary", and use the “New” button at the top left of the “Content Display Area”, or right click any tag in the list to create new tag. Create an I/O integer tag named "Temperature1". 1. Enter tag name “Temperature1”, and select Data Type “IOInt32” in the drop‐list. See Fig.32. 2. In General page, settings for this tag can be changed as needed. For example, set the Max Value to limit the maximum value of “Temperature1.” See Fig.33. Fig.32 I/O Tag “Temperature1” Settings‐1 Fig.33 I/O Tag “Temperature1” Settings‐2 3. In the IO page, choose access name by clicking the button “…”, and select the device “Simulator1” in the list of the IOServer connection shown in Fig.35, and click OK; Choose Data Block “DB0” by clicking from the drop‐down list as shown in Fig.36; Select Item “INCREA”, and enter “100” as the address of the INCREA register for this tag, so that tag “Temperature1” will increase from 0 to 100 automatically in runtime; Select Data type as “Short”, and enter “100” as the Max Raw Value, to give a limit of the value it will get from the device, also it can be used for scaling the real value and the tag’s value. Click OK to finish the definition. See Fig.37. Fig.34 I/O Tag “Temperature1” Settings‐3 Fig.35 I/O Tag “Temperature1” Settings‐4 8/12
Fig.36 I/O Tag “Temperature1” Settings‐5 Fig.35 I/O Tag “Temperature1” Settings‐6 Fig.37 I/O Tag “Temperature1” Settings‐5 Fig.38 I/O Tag “Pressure1” Settings Create another I/O integer tag named "Pressure1". Follow the same steps as you did when you created tag “Temperatrue1”, but change the data block to be “DB1”, and Item to be “RADOM100”, and click OK. Create a discrete I/O tag named "Switch". Choose “Device1” in the list of the IOServer connection shown in Fig.35 and click OK. Select data block “DB1” and select register “1” as the Item, add the register address “00001”. Click OK.
