Linked Folders

Use Linked Folders to reduce configuration effort.

Many SCADA applications have duplicated equipment. For example:

• A storage facility might have multiple identical silos.
• A pump station might have multiple sets of pumps and control valves.
• A gas production field might have multiple identical wellheads.
• A bottling plant might have more than one filling line.

To reduce your workload creating a SCADA application for duplicated equipment, Fernhill SCADA offers Linked Folders:

To use link folders, do the following:

1. Create a Template Folder to represent an equipment type.
2. Create a Linked Folder to represent each occurrence of an equipment type.
3. For configuration properties in a Linked Folder that should not use the value from the Template Folder, turn off Track Template and set a value locally.

For more detailed information see the Linked Folders concepts page.
