Weatherford WellPilot DLQ/K-Series EIE

Data Groups

With few exceptions, data groups must be defined in a device template file in order for them to be available for use on a remote device. Which data groups are defined by a device template file depends on protocol, device type, and unique configuration.

CygNet distributes sample device template files for its EIEs, each of which typically serves one or more hardware models along with applicable firmware. Therefore, the data groups described below are only those data groups defined by CygNet in sample device template file(s). Your template(s) might not include some of the data groups described below. Device template files exist to enable users to customize device configurations; however, CygNet is not responsible for changes made by users.

For information about data group definitions and device template files, see Device Template Files.

For more information about data group dependencies, see Data Group Dependencies.

Note: Do not add, delete, or modify data groups in templates for this EIE. You can map UDCs to data group elements within the template, but do not otherwise alter the data group elements.

Data Group Type	Usage Notes
Accum	"Accumulator"
AccumCmd	"Accumulator Command" is used to reset the accumulator channel to zero.
AgaGlobal	"AGA Global Data"
AlgHist	"Analog History Record" enables the retrieval of analog history for up to 60 individual records. "Analog History Record" data groups can be added individually using the Add button on the Data Group page of the remote device editor. They can also be added by means of the "Analog History Config" data group above. In either case, a finite number (60) of "Analog History Record" data groups can be added and each record number can only be used once. Record numbers are displayed as Ordinal numbers in the Data Groups field of the remote device editor.
AlgHistCfg	Retrieved analog history data groups populate the Analog Configuration Summary field. You have several options for adding and viewing analog history records. To add a single history record, highlight a record in the Analog Configuration Summary field and click Add Data Group. To view this single record in the Analog History Config dialog box Analog History field, click Get from RTU in the Analog History area, then specify the analog history request date and click OK. Double-click the record to open its corresponding dialog box. To add all retrieved analog history data groups at once, click Add Data Groups in the Analog Configuration Summary area. View these newly added data groups in the Data Groups field of the remote device editor.
AlgInpCal	"Analog Input Calibration" is used to retrieve RTU calibration settings from corresponding analog input records for up to 60 individual records. Record numbers are displayed as Ordinal numbers in the Data Groups field of the remote device editor.
AlgOutput	"ProControl - Analog Output"
Analog	"S/W Analog Input Record"
AutoAdjRec	"Auto Adjust/Auto Recovery" enables collection of plunger lift operations information in order to optimize plunger lift operation. Only supported on field devices that use firmware v3:2.0 and above.

AutoTune	"Auto Tune" is only supported on field devices that use firmware v3:0.1 to v3:0.8.
BasicPoll	"Basic Poll"
CommPort	"Comm Port Settings" enables you to define communication port settings on the associated RTU. These settings are different from those defined by the communication device configured for the CygNet host.
Composite Data Group	The "Composite Data Group" is a special kind of data group that enables you to combine any data group element(s) from any data group(s) as long as they are in the same template as the composite data group. The "Composite Data Group" does not appear in a remote device editor unless it has been defined in the relevant device template file. See Composite Data Group.

The Flow Control Method option you select affects the two input fields beneath Deadband. For instance, if you select Pressure Differential, two new input fields generate: High Pressure Analog # and Low Pressure Analog #. Values for the Actuation Time field can be discrete for DO or percent for AO. Type the numerical value that corresponds to the output type for the associated valve. For instance, if the associated valve is AO and you type 15 in this field, the value is understood as 15% not 15 msecs.
