This chapter describes how to implement SNMP protocol for data acquisition (ring) in EcoSUI.
SNMP is abbreviation of Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP protocol provides generic
information such as:
Status of equipment of a Printer or switch
Hard Drive capacity for a computer
Packet lost for a Switch
EcoSUI gives capability for user to monitor information from any equipment compliant with this protocol,
for instance, to collect data from SNMP V1/V2 servers such as Ethernet switches. To implement a SNMP

VIRTUAL RING
This chapter describes how to implement a virtual ring in EcoSUI using formulas.
PRINCIPLES
You may need EcoSUI to carry out actions based upon checks and logical conditions on datapoints of
your configuration.
You may want the application to perform a set of actions in case A, but perform another set of actions in
case B. It is possible to create and compute data through formulas by defining logics and equations based
on any inputs of your database.
Formulas allow you to implement decision points in the program, associated with conditions. Usually, you
will be checking what the value of a variable is. Then based on this value, you will trigger specific actions
on electrical or system devices (open, close), animation of busbar and so on.
To implement a virtual ring (no data acquisition), follow the procedure:
• Enabled= Write all SBUS Server names (separated with ;) where this ring is enabled.
85
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
86
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
DEFINE FORMULAS
You can define formulas from the Sbus Server if several HMI are deployed or directly from
MIMICS views in EcoSUI.
87
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
Double click this row to open the Formula editor. From this editor, click the Signal List to
browse the database to select input signals.
88
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
The State Viewer appears on screen. It shows a picture of the current situation of all data points
issued either from wired signals, data from IED as well as system self monitoring information.
The left part of the window displays a tree view of the database, which is used as a filter.
Expand the tree view on the left and check the desired signals. The selected signals appear in the table
on the right
89
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
Just double click the signals in the table to use them in your formula (they are then automatically
added to the Formula Editor).
Select the type of formula using the Formula Quality drop-down (Always valid, Valid if all signals are
valid, Valid if one signal is valid).
90
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
A real-time syntax checker is enabled. EcoSUI monitors your formula as you type, flagging syntax
errors by displaying a message error in the split view and indicating which line it's on.
Actions
‘Action On’ is executed when formula evaluation is true or is a number (double float, integer).
‘Action Off’ is executed when formula evaluation is false.
Possible actions are:
Examples :
SETIN [Formula / Formulas / A / B / CPU Overload]
SETPOINT [SS1 / VL110 / Q01 / MV_SETPOINT]
CMD_EXECUTE [SS1 / VL110 / Q03 / QA1 / Position. Control]@1
91
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
92
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
It is possible to add formulas to objects of your HMI views. To do so, EcoSUI HMI must be in “Edit Mode”
(CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + F12).
Once in Edit mode, right-click anywhere in the HMI view and select Unlock Mimic.
1. Double click an object in your mimic where you want to add a formula. The Mimic editor shows up:
93
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
Help on Formulas
The Formula editor provides a useful help on conditions and parameters to be used in formulas.

Click the Help button at the bottom of the screen to get help on functions and parameters:
You can mix analogical & numerical values in formulas but functions that require
numerical values are specified by (double)
95
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
Formulas are stored in the Formulas_SBUSServer text file located in C:\MCIS\Formulas\<PC name>
directory.
It contains all formulas you may have defined for your HMI objects.
This file contains the same information as it appears in the Formulas table in the Sbus Server.
Columns are separated by ## based on the following principle:
Formula ## Action on ##
Quality o ####0 for
Always Valid
o ####1 for Valid if all signals
You can directly modify the formulas text file. To refresh the modifications in the Sbus Server, just click
Reload in the Formulas tab:

TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
Each of these 3 modules can be installed on only one computer (light project) or scattered around
different computers.
Note: There is only one installation package. It installs all 3 modules on the computer even if some of
them are not used.
The EcoSUI HMI is installed on Operator Workstation (OWS) which can support other applications:
the System Management Tool is the application used to maintain and monitor the system itself
the Setting Software is the application used to visualize and modify the settings of MiCOM equipments
other applications dedicated to particular functions (disturbance records analysis, …)
EcoSUI HMI provides the user with an interface for all operational and engineering functions. In case of
connection to multiple servers, information will be displayed as if it is coming from a single server.
Connectivity between Clients and Servers is provided via Station Bus, dial-up connection or through the
Internet.
The EcoSUI HMI is a Windows XP, a Windows 2008 or a Windows 7 application. The OWS hardware
platform differs from project to project (Notebook, standard or industrial PC) depending on the
environmental operating conditions and customer requirements. The control is done by mouse, trackball
or trackpoint.
USER-ORIENTED FUNCTIONS
ACCESS AUTHORIZATION: LOGIN/LOGOUT FUNCTION
Clicking the “Login” icon in the command banner allows the operator to log in to the system through an
identification popup. The EcoSUI HMI behavior will then depend on the operator rights.
The choice of the login type procedure is defined during the EcoSUI installation procedure.
99
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
The user has to enter his user name, then its password and ENTER or click on OK. After a login, the
user name and its profile are displayed in the title banner.
An optional automatic log-off is done if there is no operator activity during a configured period.
After Login procedure, the logout icon substitutes to the login icon in the command banner and allows
the user to close off his/her session.
PASSWORD MODIFICATION
The password function allows a logged user to change his/her password.
100
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
User configuration (username / password) is stored locally on each EcoSUI HMI. This configuration can
be different on each EcoSUI HMI.
When an user logs in, all objects in views are compared with the new profiles that the current user has.
User will be able to execute action on objects whose Action Profiles properties match User profiles
properties.
The Profiles function allows a user with administrator rights to create / modify / delete user account and
associate groups and profiles.
A user is defined with a login, a password, a group and one or more profile.
A profile is an ensemble of user rights which define permission for all kind of actions. User rights are the
rights related to a kind of action. Rights linked to a profile are configured in the database.
A group refers to predefined users with prerecorded profiles such as operators or administrators.
User rights and user profiles are defined during database configuration and can’t be
modified online. Users and groups are defined online and can be modified according to
These user rights are assigned to user profiles. User profiles are defined during the configuration phase.
So, a user profile is a free allocation of 0, 1 or several general rights, plus 0, 1 or several view rights, plus
0, 1 or several control rights, plus 0, 1 or several acknowledgement rights.
After a database switch, if some profiles have been deleted / updated from the configuration, the users are
automatically updated with these new profiles
101
TRAINING COURSE - ECOSUI
In the Users tab, click on “New” and enter the name of the new user. Then click OK or press ENTER to
validate this new user.
After creating the new user, it is necessary to associate a profile to this new user by assigning:
the new user to a group (with predefined profile) or the new user to a group and some additional
profiles.
102
