Understand the connection between AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Gas and AVEVA Measurement Advisor

Before You Begin

It is important to understand how the relationship between AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Gas and AVEVA Measurement Advisor functions. Set up your analog and rate points in the Advanced Database Editor (ADE) before you name them as sources of input that are receiving information from AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Gas. If you assigned names to the inputs before creating the associated analog and rate points, the information can be synchronized to RealTime. There are two ways to force the synchronization:

• Change one of the properties on the meter or gas quality (GQ) point (for example, the Description) and Save.

• Run an integrity update script. This operation is highly invasive, and not recommended for systems that are in production.

When you have meters in AVEVA Measurement Advisor that are receiving information from AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Gas, it is important to understand the relationship between AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Gas and AVEVA Measurement Advisor.

To establish the connection between AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Gas and AVEVA Measurement Advisor

1. The initial meter is created in AVEVA Measurement Advisor through a Save As operation.

   For more information, refer to the AVEVA Measurement Advisor User documentation.

2. When assigning a Group in the Properties for Meter or GQ windows, you must ensure that the Group selected is of the From SCADA variety.

   For more information about creating AORs and Groups that exist in SCADA, refer to the AVEVA Measurement Advisor User documentation.

3. Assign a Dataset.

4. In order for the meter to be visible in AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Gas after it has been created in AVEVA Measurement Advisor, the meter must meet one of the following conditions:

   • Must be connected to a remote. (Remotes are created in Advanced Database Editor (ADE)).

   • Must have a Data Source of the Host Calculated variety. This Data Source can be used in conjunction with the following meters:

     • Pulse

     • Manual

     • Orifice

     • Linepack

5. In order for the GQ to be created in AVEVA Pipeline Operations for Gas after it has been created in AVEVA Measurement Advisor, it must meet one of the following conditions:

   • Must have an Analysis Source set to Host Calculated Analysis. This is defined on the GQ tab of the Properties for Gas Quality window.

   • Must be connected to a remote. (Remotes are created in Advanced Database Editor (ADE)).

   • The property Available to RealTime apps must be selected.
