Installation

Since ResMa® 3.0 version, it is now also possible to install ResMa® automatically via setup.

Installation of ResMa® via Setup

The setup is available in two variants:

• As a “full setup” that contains all 3rd-party components

• As a “download setup” that reloads the 3rd party components from the Internet if necessary.

For an update of an existing installation, the “Download Setup” is sufficient.

Re-installation via setup

For a new installation, the “full setup” is preferably used, which contains all 3rd-party components.

After you start setup the prerequisites for ResMa® are first installed.

Then the actual setup starts.

During setup you can choose between a full installation that installs all components, or a custom setup where you can select the components.

The selected components are then installed.

Update installation via setup

Please use the version-dependent update instructions. These are delivered together with the update setup or can be requested via [support@gti.de](mailto:support@gti.de).

Installation of the ResMa® Connect Modbus

As an installation, only the corresponding software package must be installed on the target system. Where on the file system the folder is installed is the responsibility of the user.

For this purpose, the files are imported directly on the same host as that of the ResMa® installation:

After that, the connector must be installed as a service. The service can be installed from the Service Install.bat file. It is recommended to run this file with administrator rights. With the installation of the service, the installation is complete. To activate the service in ResMa®, its configuration file must be adapted to the system. The file that needs to be customized for this is called ResMa®DirectConnectService.exe.config. The following position must be adapted here.

The user must enter the IP address of the ResMa® server under ResMa®ServerHost. Finally, a unique number must be assigned under ConnectorID. The ClientID can be assigned.

After configuration, the service can be started and is active in the ResMa® system. The new ResMa® Connector should now be displayed in the Connector view in the ResMa® WebInterface.

To detect connector errors, the connector writes its own log file. This provides information on possible error cases.

Extending device templates for Modbus

Both selection lists can also be extended or supplemented by the user. To do this, the following files must be adapted in the ResMa® file system. DriverConnectionTemplate.csv and DriverTagTemplate. These files are located in the following folder: .ResMa®DatabaseData.

These files contain the entries of the drop-down menus in ResMa® and their parameters, which are necessary for the establishment of the connection. Based on these stored examples, a new measuring device with connection data and its measured variables can be created.

In addition to editing the two files, it is also possible to provide these files with suitable entries via an application. This application can be requested from ResMa® Support.

After completion of processing, the new measuring instruments must still be stored in ResMa®. To do this, ResMa®’s® database must be updated. To do this, the file 07 Update Driver Templates.sql must be executed in SQL Management Studio. The file is located at .ResMa®Database. make sure that the correct database is selected when the sql script is executed.

After executing the script, the newly created connection and measure entries are available in the corresponding selection lists.

Attention

If the entries are not displayed, please reload the ResMa® website in your browser (Ctrl + F5).
