Set up data acquisition parameters

Credentials configured in the Citect Data Platform allow applications to run externally and allow Citect to get data from basic reports, LiveView, the EWS Server, and the ETL.

This section relates to how the core service host connects to the live, running Power Operation project.

Before you begin:

  • Add the username/password to the Power Operation Studio project.
  • Have Power Operation Studio running in runtime mode.

To link a user name and password that will be used when the Schneider Electric CoreServiceHost services connect with runtime:

    1. Open the Application Configuration Utility:
      • In Power Operation Studio: click Projects > Power Applications > Application Config Utility.

        • OR

      • From the Start menu: Click Schneider Electric > Application Config Utility.
    2. In Application Configuration Utility, expand Applications Services Host and then click Citect Data Platform.
  2. In Citect I/O Server Address, enter the server address for the project that is running.

    3. NOTE: This can be left blank if you are using a local connection and you are running Power Operation as a service.

  3. In Citect User Name, enter the user name of a user configured in the project.
  4. In Citect Password, enter the password for the Power Operation Studio project user entered previous.
  5. Click Test Credentials to verify these credentials.

    6. If you see an error, verify the name and password, the Power Operation Runtime is running, and try again.

    When your project is running and the credentials are valid, a Connection Successful message appears. The user name and password can be used to connect to Power Operation Studio.
