Hey guys,
Client has a system on Lookout, they're asking me to upgrade to InTouch as their HMI and a Scadapack as the controller. So I'm going through their existing Lookout system, trying to map physical I/O for all their remote sites. Unfortunately one RTU has absolutely no descriptions for signals, literally just "DigitalInput1". I've gone through the code and this point I've figured out that a pump is being called to run based on a "NeutralZone" that compares a tank level to a start/stop level. OK, figured that out but I cannot for the life of me determine how this NeutralZone is mapped to a physical I/O. I've searched everywhere and can't determine how the NeutralZone is used to actually make the output energize when the pump is called to run. Client is over an hour away so it wouldn't be impossible to go and do a site visit, but obviously figuring it out here would be easier. Any help is greatly appreciated!
