The first step in SCADA design with EOS SCADA Editor is to create a new
project and configure the general project settings according to project and user
requirements.
EOS SCADA stores all information belonging to the created project in a
Firebird Database called the System Database.
System Database connection information can be configured from
DATABASE → SYSTEM DATABASE in the SCADA tree menu.
Accessing the System Database
To configure the System Database settings, click the DATABASE menu item in
the SCADA tree menu.
After selecting the SYSTEM DATABASE node in the expanded structure, the
relevant settings are displayed in the settings table on the right.
Navigation path:
DATABASE → SYSTEM DATABASE → SETTINGS TABLE
The System Database section contains various properties used to connect to the Firebird
database. These properties include the connection host, port, database path, database name,
user credentials, and the list of Runtime computers.

Database Server and Connection Settings
DBHostName specifies the name of the host computer where the System
Database is located, while DBPort specifies the connection port used to
connect to the System Database.
In the default configuration, the System Database is located on the same computer, so
DBHostName is set to localhost and the connection port is
3050.
Default values:
DBHostName = localhost
DBPort = 3050
DBPath specifies the path where the System Database is located.
DBName specifies the name of the System Database to be used.
Default configuration:
DBPath = C:\DataLogger\FDB
DBName = eosdb
Session and User Information
The DBSID, DBUserName, and
DBPassword properties are used for the System Database connection.
| Property |
Default Value |
Description |
| DBSID |
DataLogger |
System Database Session ID (SID). |
| DBUserName |
sysdba |
System Database user name. |
| DBPassword |
masterkey |
System Database password. |
DBTimeOut specifies the timeout period for the System Database connection.
The default value of this property is 1000.
Default value:
DBTimeOut = 1000
RuntimeDB and the System Database List
The RuntimeDB property allows the System Database addresses of computers on
the same network running SCADA Runtime to be defined as a list.
This structure makes it possible to easily send changes made to the System Database
containing project information to other computers running Runtime software over the network.
RuntimeDB: The list in which the System Database addresses of Runtime
computers are defined.
Default value: [LIST]
Configuring System Database Settings
- Open EOS SCADA Editor.
- Open the relevant SCADA project.
- Select the DATABASE menu item in the SCADA tree menu.
- Select the SYSTEM DATABASE node.
- View the settings table on the right.
-
Adjust the properties required for the System Database connection according to your
project and user requirements.
-
If required, use the RuntimeDB list to define the System Database
addresses of Runtime computers.
Using the Default Settings
Configuring the System Database settings of projects using the default values provides
convenience for the user.
However, if the user has specific requirements for the System Database, the relevant
settings can be changed.
NOTE: Configuring projects with the default values provides
convenience. At the same time, users can apply their own specific System Database
settings when required.

The System Database is the fundamental database structure in which EOS
SCADA stores information belonging to the created project.
Firebird database connection and access settings can be configured through
DATABASE → SYSTEM DATABASE in EOS SCADA Editor.
Default settings provide convenience for most standard project configurations, while the
relevant properties can be changed according to different system architectures and user
requirements.
In particular, the RuntimeDB property allows the System Database addresses
of Runtime computers on the same network to be defined as a list. This can simplify sending
changes made to project information to Runtime computers over the network.
