Updating control data from live data links

Time Varying Control Data can be updated automatically from Live Data linked to the model.

The following Control Data can be updated automatically from Live Data:

Network Object	Data Field / Profile
Reservoir	Initial Depth
Fixed Head	Head
Well	Head
Transfer Node	Flow
PLAN Mode Pump Station	Status
Other Time Varying Pumps	Pump Type Profile FLOW Total Flow PROFILE Target Pressure / Depth
Time Varying Valves (FRV, PRV, PSV, TCV)	Valve Type Profile FRV Flow PRV Pressure PSV Pressure TCV Opening (%)
Water Quality Nodes	Concentration
Control Profiles	Control Profile Type Profile CONCENTRATION Concentration DEPTH Depth FLOW Flow LEVEL Level NUMBER Number PRESSURE Pressure Note: A Control Profile of type Number can be updated by any type of Live Data. The Number profile does not have any units associated with it.

Update Process

To update Control Data from Live Data Links:

1. Open a Network, associated Control Data to be updated and Live Data Configuration containing data to be used for updating.
2. Select Control > Update Controls from Live Data from the Network menu. This will display the Simulation Control dialog.

   

3. Click OK to update Control Data from linked Live Data.

InfoWorks will update the Control Data using the rules detailed in the section below.

After updating from Live Data, any errors will be displayed on an additional panel on the dialog. This panel remains hidden if no errors occur.

Updating Control Data from Live Data Rules

When updating Control Data from Live Data via the Simulation Control dialog, InfoWorks applies the following rules:

Reservoir Initial Depth

InfoWorks attempts to read the Reservoir initial depth from the Live Data for any reservoir that is linked to a Live Data Point ID. If the Live Data Point ID is invalid, or a depth value cannot be found in the Live Data for the simulation start time, the existing value is unaltered.

Live Data Point IDs are generated from Live Data Point, Live Data Feed, or Live Data Composite Feed. Duplicate IDs are shown once.

Reservoir initial depth may be updated from Live Data of Effective Channel Type PRESSURE or PC_VOLUME.

Time Varying Profiles

InfoWorks attempts to read profiles from the Live Data for network objects linked to a Live Data Point ID.

Live Data Point IDs are generated from Live Data Point, Live Data Feed, or Live Data Composite Feed. Duplicate IDs are shown once.

• If the Live Data Point ID is invalid, the existing profile remains unaltered.
• If the Live Data does not intersect with the simulation start and end times, an error message is displayed in the lower window of the Simulation Control dialog and the existing profile remains unaltered.
• If the Live Data covers part, but not all, of the simulation time you are offered the choice of replacing the profile, or keeping the existing profile. Choose NO and the existing profile is unaltered. Choose YES and the existing profile is deleted and replaced with the Live Data values. Any timesteps not covered by Live Data are set to zero in the profile.
• If Live Data covers the entire simulation time, the existing profile is deleted and replaced by values read from Live Data
