Databases structure
All the information necessary to run scada, as well as the data acquired by the
fluxstation, are stored in a single file : scada_data.mdb
The databases
A second database : scada_log.mdb is used by Scada to log messages, error
reports and other information that are generated by scada and that can be
helpful to diagnose some malfunctions of the system.
Both are file based databases in the MS Access format.
These two file are located in the C:\WEST\SCADA\ folder
The two databases are accessed by our software via ODBC, then two System
DSN (Data source name) definitions are added by the Scada setup.
The first system DSN is scada_data , it has a MS Access (.mdb) driver and it
point to the file C:\WEST\Scada\scada_data.mdb.
The second system DSN is scada_log , it has a MS Access (.mdb) driver and it
point to the file C:\WEST\Scada\scada_log.mdb.
Both DSN are created automatically by the Scada suite setup. Normally
it’s not necessary to modify it manually.
