and applications of each part will be discussed 1.1.2 The Menu Bar Four icons are listed in the menu bar They are nodes button, save button, add-nodes button, delete- and exit button Add-nodes button is for adding new nodes The new added nodes should have been defined in local hosts file but not in the opened configuration file Delete-nodes button is for deleting nodes already defined in the configuration file Save button is to save the configuration file being edited When you’ve finished the configuration, click on this button Exit button is to close the configuration file and exit the configuration interface 1.1.3 The Project Directory Tree Editing Area The project directory tree editing area includes directory tree and edit menu The edit menu lists Save, Change Flavor New Tree, Copy Treen, Paste Tree, Delete Tree, Save To Other Nodes and Change Display Order In the project directory tree, name of all hydro-power plants in this project are listed Feasible Operations in Directory Tree Editing Area Click on the and then the lay out - icon before a certain plant name, or double click on the plant name, icon will change into , with the plant name folder opened, and leafs Click on the , then the icon turns in deep color At the same time, the configuration file is opened in configuration display and editing area at lower right of the window If you keep clicking on the into icon for seconds, the icon will turn It shows you can change name of the configuration file now Click on the plant name again to make the If you click on the icon go back to icon go back to previous state icon or double click on the plant name now, you’ll find the , and plant name folder is closed 1.1.4 System-configuration Display and Editing Area Content of user’s system configuration will display in this area in table form You can shift the scroll bar below to look over or edit the configuration Each configuration file includes a number of computer nodes in a monitoring system, with 20 properties of one node, and they are Node Name, Alias, No., Project Name, Partner Node, IP, IP, Node State, Node Type, Byte Order, OperDisable ,Double Users Protect, audio database, historyserver, manface, msgwin, oncall, operate, remote, rundsp, seqman and telaudio  Node Name: The host name of computers in the monitoring system The node name of a certain computer (node name for short) should be defined in local net configure file first  Alias: Node’s name in NC2000 monitoring system Usually alias is in capitals  NO.: Node’s serial number in NC2000 monitoring system It ranges from 0, and should be exclusive  Partner Node: Name of another node which has same alias as this node; and they are main and back-up nodes of each other  IP: IP of the first network card should be defined in net configuration  IP: IP of the second network card should be defined in net configuration, too  Node state: The work state of this node in system currently The status light in gray means this node is dead, in red means run standalone or as main, while in blue means run as backup This column can’t be edited  Node type: Role this node plays in system A node can be host computer, operator station, engineer station, communication computer, front end processor, CCU (central control unit), programmable controller, other network device  Byte Order: Order of cyber-byte of this node COMPAQ workstation and other PCs are in Intel order, and SUN workstation is not  Historyserver: This node runs as a history station or with historical data restored on this node  Operate: This node can execute control and regulate operations  Oncall: This node is configured with Oncall  Database: Operations of NC2000 database are based on this node  Msgwin: Brief messages will be sent to this node  Audio: Node with audio alarm  Remote: This node runs as communication workstation  Seqman: Sequence programmes are executed on this node Attentions: The column of project name is reserved Properties as byte order, oncall, and audio are reserved for future use 1.2 Method of node configuration Configuration here is the process of defining the nodes and their properties
