NOTICE
The configuration information exchanged between the RTU and Easergy Builder is not
continuous, but performed through XML files under user request. When the configuration is
modified in Easergy Builder and the XML files are sent to the RTU, it is necessary to
reboot the RTU.
1.1.2 coreDb – Real-Time DataBase
coreDb is the real-time database backend on which BaseLine Software Platform is built. All the
information controlled and managed by the system is stored in this database.
Thanks to this architecture, the system functionalities can be easily expanded to manage new
protocols, customized controllers, etc. To accomplish this, trained developers only need to
implement the required Device Controller and the associated Configuration plugin for Easergy
Builder, allowing end users to configure the extended functionality.
coreDb records are also called data points or, simply points (this term will be used onwards to
avoid confusing these with Device points).
coreDb points are organized in five tables: Status, Analog, Setpoint, String and Command to group
the different types of points. These internal tables present the following differences.
Depending on the point type: status, and command tables support integer values, whereas
setpoint and analog tables manage floating values. String table has been designed for string
values.
Depending on the treatment of the point: status and analog points can be locked or reset to
initial values, whereas the other two signal types cannot. All types can retain the value in a
non-volatile memory.
1.1.3 Devices
Each type of device keeps a list of its associated points, identified by unique labels. These labels
allow the identification of each device point unequivocally as source or destination of a coreDb data
point.
Each point is a piece of information produced (or consumed) by a Device. Within a single Device,
point identifiers (coordinates) are unique and cannot be used by two different points.
The following table shows the device configuration plugins included in Easergy Builder. Each plugin
will be available or not depending on the hardware platforms:
