Install Overview: Topology of AVEVA Measurement Advisor Data Connector for Autosol Communication Manager (ACM)

The AVEVA Measurement Advisor Data Connector for Autosol Communication Manager (ACM) can be used as a stand alone product or in addition to your organization's AVEVA Enterprise SCADA system. The AVEVA Measurement Advisor Data Connector for ACM can be used with both AVEVA Measurement Advisor on-premises and AVEVA Measurement Advisor cloud installations (simultaneously, if required).

The diagram below shows the product components and how they are related. In most cases, AVEVA Measurement Advisor Data Connector for ACM installation will encompass installs to two servers, one on Autosol Communication Manager server(s) (in the SCADA zone) and one to DMZ servers. However, the installs can all be placed on the same server. The topics Install Request Connector to Autosol Communication Manager Servers in the SCADA Zone and Install Data Connector Core and Support to DMZ Servers will guide you through the install process.

This install comprises the following major components:

• The Request Connector includes the MonitorMeasurementData service. The Request Connector monitors AVEVA Measurement Advisor for new or updated gas quality data and downloads it to Autosol Communication Manager.

• The Data Connector Core includes the MonitorMeasBufferDB service. The Data Connector monitors the Autosol Communications Manager database ACM_Import for new or updated meter and gas quality configuration and data. This is transformed as needed and sent to AVEVA Measurement Advisor.

• The Data Connector Plugin for ACM includes the DBProcess agent.

  Notes: This Installer Guide assumes you have the third-party Autosol Communication Manager product already installed on the necessary servers.
  Hereafter in this document, the "Data Connector Core" and the "Data Connector Plugin" discussed together are referred to as the "Data Connector" which is a subcomponent of the AVEVA Measurement Advisor Data Connector for ACM.

To complete this install, you must set up the related Windows services, configure JSON files, prepare the EFM database, and then validate the data transfers. The sections below guide you through this process. For assistance, please contact AVEVA Customer Support.
