**INTRODUCTION**
**OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'LL BE COVERING**
THIS TRAINING SESSION IS INTENDED TO SHOW THE OPERATOR THE FUNCTIONS OF SCADA THAT THEY WILL USE ON A REGULAR BASIS.
IT IS NOT A DEEP DIVE ON CONFIGURING AND OR PROGRAMMING SCADA.
OPEN THE TRAINING MANUAL TO THE CONTENTS
[GIVE OVERVIEW OF CONTENTS]
[DESCRIBE THE APPENDIX TABS]
THE APPENDIX IS PARTS OF THE ROCKWELL MANUAL THAT I HAVE SELECTED TO INCLUDE. THEY ARE THE PARTS OF THE MANUAL THAT APPLY TO YOUR SCADA.
THE TABS OF THE APPENDIX ARE REFERED TO THROUGHOUT THE MANUAL AS A SOURCE OF FURTHER INFORMATION.

pg11BASIC FACEPLATE ATTRIBUTES
THE FACEPLATE IS WHAT WE CALL THE POPUP WINDOW THAT YOU WILL SEE AFTER CLICKING ON AN OBJECT.[OPEN A FACEPLATE]INFORMATION ABOUT THE OBJECT IS DISPLAYED HERE.BASIC FACEPLATE ATTRIBUTES ARE CLICKABLE OBJECTS THAT ARE INCLUDED ON MOST FACEPLATES. THESE ARE THE ATTRIBUTES YOU WILL USE MOST OFTEN.THE FIRST FACEPLATE TO OPEN IS THE OPERATOR OR HOME TAB[DESCRIBE EACH ATTRIBUTE]
pg12NEXT IS THE MAINTENANCE TAB.[OPEN MAINTENANCE TAB] HERE IS WHERE THE SETTINGS FOR THE OBJECT ARE ADJUSTED AND MORE INFORMATION IS DISPLAYED.THE ADVANCED PROPERTIES FACEPLATE IS OPENED FROM HERE.
pg13UP NEXT IS THE DIAGNOSTIC TAB [OPEN DIAGNOSTIC TAB][READ DESCRIPTION FROM pg16]

HELP BUTTON CLICK THE HELP BUTTON ON THE FACEPLATES TO ACCESS HELP SPECIFIC TO THAT FACEPLATE.[CLICK THE HELP BUTTON][QUESTIONS?]
pg16**COMMON CONTROL FUNCTIONS AND OPERATOR INTERACTIONS**
**ANALOGS**ANALOG SIGNALS ARE PROCESS VARIABLES SUCH AS A TANK LEVEL, FLOW RATE, AND ORP ANALYZER.ANALOG SIGNALS CAN JUST BE FOR OPERATOR INFORMATION, OR THEY CAN BE USED IN PLC LOGIC AS A PROCESS VARIABLE AKA PV.[OPEN ANALOG FACEPLATE][DESCRIBE FACEPLATE ATTRIBUTES]MOST ANALOG SIGNALS ARE PROCESSED IN THE PLC AS RAW UNITS (0-32,768) TO BE DISPLAYED AND RECORDED IN ENGINEERING UNITS. THIS PROCESSING IS REFERED TO AS SCALING.[SCALING WILL BE SHOWN LATER][REVIEW ANALOG INPUT FACEPLATE HELP pg17]

**DIGITALS (NOT INCLUDED IN MANUAL)**DIGITAL SIGNALS ARE DISCRETE VARIABLES MEANING IT IS ON OR OFF. [QUESTION- ANYONE GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A ON/OFF SIGNAL?]FLOAT SWITCH, MOTOR RUN, HAND OFF AUTO SWITCH, RESET BUTTONDIGITAL SIGNALS CAN BE FOR OPERATOR INFORMATION SUCH AS STATUS OR ALARMS, AND ARE OFTEN USED IN PLC CONTROL LOGIC[OPEN DIGITAL FACEPLATE - DIGESTERS SECONDARY SUMP LS]THIS LEVEL SWITCH IS AN EXAMPLE OF A DIGITAL SIGNAL USED AS AN ALARM.[NAVIGATE TO TAB 11 pg145 ON PDF][REVIEW OPERATOR TAB.

**ALARM TAB (NOT IN MANUAL)**
MOVING TO THE ALARM TAB[OPEN ALARM TAB]HERE IS WHERE IT SHOWS THE CONFIGURED ALARM FOR THE DIGITAL POINT.CLICKING THE ALARM OPENS THE ALARM SETTINGS FACEPLATEON THE HOME TAB WE SEE THE ALARM NAME, IF IT IS ACTIVE OR INACTIVE,THE ALARM INPUT STATUSAND IF THE ALARM IS DISABLED, SHELVED, OR SUPPRESSED. MORE ON THESE STATUSES LATERFROM THE ALARM HOME TAB YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE [CHECK MARK], RESET [SWIRL], SHELVE AND UNSHELVE THE ALARM.IN THE MAINTENANCE TAB[OPEN MAINTENANCE TAB]THE OPERATOR CAN TEST THE ALARM, DISABLE THE ALARM, SEE AND ADJUST THE SEVERITY.MORE ON DISABLING AND SEVERITIES LATER.[QUESTIONS?]
**MOTORS, PUMPS, AND FANS**
[NAVIGATE TO pg33][OPEN A PUMP FACEPLATE - DIGESTER HEATED SLUDGE PUMP]THE HOME TAB FOR A NON-VFD CONTROLLED MOTOR SHOWS US ITS RUNNING STATUS, GBUTTON TO RESET,START AND STOP COMMAND BUTTONS,INTERLOCK AND PERMISSIVE INDICATORS AND SELECTORS,AND THE COMMAND SOURCE.
MOST OPERATOR INTERACTION WITH A MOTOR OBJECT WILL TYPICALLY BE THE COMMAND SOURCE
[pg34]START AND STOP A MOTOR MANUALLY[REVIEW STEPS]
[NAVIGATE TO TAB 8 COMMAND SOURCE][OPEN COMMAND SOURCE FACEPLATE]IN TAB 8 WE FIRST HAVE A REVIEW OF THE COMMAND SOURCE INDICATORS THAT WE COVERED EARLIER.[REVIEW COMMAND SOURCE INDICATORS][REVIEW COMMAND SOURCE TOTEM POLE]
MAINTENANCE BUTTONS ARE USED TO REQUEST AND RELEASE MAINTENANCE COMMAND SOURCE.IN MAINTENANCE MODE, ALL OTHER CONTROL COMMANDS ARE IGNORED, BYPASSABLE INTERLOCKS AND PERMISSIVES ARE BYPASSED, AND FEEBACK TIMEOUT CHECKS ARE NOT PROCESSED.THIS IS TYPICALLY USED WHEN A PLANT HAS SEPARATE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS TEAMS.
THE OPERATOR CAN ALSO TAKE THE DEVICE OUT OF SERVICE USING THE NO/YES SELECTION. TAKING THE DEVICE OUT OF SERVICE REMOVES ALL CONTROL FOR THAT DEVICE FROM SCADA. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY LOCK OUT FEATURE. IT SHOULD BE USED LIKE THE "OFF" FUNCTION OF A PHYSICAL HOA SWITCH. IT IS ALSO A GOOD WAY TO SIGNAL TO OTHER OPERATORS THAT A DEVICE IS PURPOSLY OUT OF SERVICE.[QUESTIONS?]

**PID LOOP**[pg37]OUR GOAL FOR THIS CLASS IS TO SHOW YOU WERE AND HOW TO MAKE THE TYPICAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE LOOP AND THE CONTROL OPTIONS FOR THE LOOP.UNDERSTANDING PID LOOPS IS A CLASS ALL TO ITSELF. ESPECIALLY THESE ROCKWELL ADVANCED PID LOOPS.IT IS NOT MY INTENTION TO DO A DEEP DIVE INTO PID.TO GET A FEEL FOR HOW COMPLEX PID IS YOU CAN CHECK OUT TAB 12.
ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE ACKRONYM PID MEAN? PROPORTIONAL INTEGRAL DERIVATIVE[READ PID CONTROL LOOPS][OPEN HEADWORKS - DETAIL][SHOW THE TWO DIFFERENT PID LOOP OBJECTS IN USE FOR EACH LOOP][SHOW HOW THE LAG PID IS IN INTERLOCK (IF IT IS)][REVIEW PV, SP, AND CV]

[OPEN THE TREND TAB][REVIEW][QUESTIONS?]
**PUMP ALTERNATION**[pg 43][READ THE OVERVIEW][OPEN THE ALTERNATOR FACEPLATE FOR THE INFLUENT PUMPS]
[pg44][REVIEW THE ATTRIBUTES]NOTICE AGAIN WE HAVE COMMAND SOURCE SELECTION. THIS ALLOWS THE OPERATOR (IN OPERATOR MODE) TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE ALTERNATOR, WHERE YOU COULD TURN THE PUMPS OFF, OR MANUALLY START ONE OR MORE PUMPS.THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE WHEN A PUMP IS A MEMBER OF THE ALTERNATOR, YOU CANNOT PUT IT INTO OPERATOR FROM THE PUMP FACEPLATE[OPEN A PUMP FACEPLATE]HOWEVER, A WAY AROUND THIS IS TO PUT THE PUMP INTO MAINTENANCE CONTROL.
NOTICE THAT WHEN WE PUT THE PUMP INTO MAINTENANCE CONTROL, OR IF WE TAKE THE PUMP OUT OF SERVICE, OR IF IT IS INTERLOCKED, THE PUMP BECOMES UNAVAILABLE TO THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH IS SHOWN ON THE TOTEMPOLE (ITEM 2).
ALSO NOTICE THE ORDER OF THE PUMPS IS SHOWN IN ITEM 2

[pg56][REVIEW]
[NAVIGATE TO ALARM HISTORY] (NOT IN MANUAL)THE ALARM HISTORY PAGE SHOWS EVERY ALARM AND EVENT THAT HAS BEEN TRIGGERED.THIS IS HELPFUL WHEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT ALARMS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST.A REAL HANDY FUNCTION OF HISTORY IS THE FILTER.
[NAVIGATE TO EDIT FILTER]
THE FILTERS ARE A POWERFUL WAY TO PARSE THIS DATABASE DOWN TO WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.FOR EXAMPLE, SAY WE ONLY WANT TO SEE THE ALARMS THAT WERE ACTIVE AND UNACKNOWLEDGED YESTERDAY.
[ALARM STATE - ADD WHERE CONDITION - 'IN ALARM AND UNACKNOWLEDGED'EVENT TIME - >= (YESTERDAY) 12:00:00 AMEVENT TIME < (TODAY) 11:59:00 PM APPLY FILTER]
CLICK ON AN ALARM TO GET DETAILED INFORMATION[QUESTIONS?]
[OPEN THE ALARM EXPLORER] (NOT IN MANUAL)THE ALARM EXPLORER ALLOWS YOU TO SEE INFORMATION ON ALL THE CONFIGURED ALARMS IN SCADA.ON THE LEFT YOU SEE THE ALARMS ARE ORGANIZED INTO FOLDERSNEXT TO THOSE FOLDERS YOU SEE A TALLY OF THE ALARMS ACCORDING TO SEVERITYIGNORE THE ALARMS UNDER RSLINX ENTERPRISE. THESE ARE NO LONGER ACTIVEYOUR ALARMS NOW ARE UNDER WWTP_AE
BY CLICKING ON ONE OF THE FOLDERS YOU WILL SEE ONLY THE ALARMS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT FOLDER.
RIGHT CLICKING ON AN ALARM GIVES YOU OPTIONS
ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS IS THE ALARM DETAILS.
A REAL HANDY OPTION FROM THIS ALARM EXPLORER IS TO MASS APPLY COMMANDS TO THE ALARMS SUCH AS ENABLE/DISABLESUPPRESS / UNSUPPRESSSHELVE / UNSHELVE
