7. How to Create a Database
The base concept is to tell the Q4-Controller it has sensors and what their addresses are. Then tell
the controller it has relays and how they will function. Finally tell the controller how the sensors
and relays work together.
Following these steps will help you to create your database quickly and easily:
1. Requirements Analysis.
Before you create your database, you should write out a requirements analysis.
A. How many remote sensors are there in your system? For each digital sensor, assign a unique
address to each one
B. What kind of relay style? (Normally Energized? Latching? voting mode or average mode?
time delay? How many minutes? List assigned sensors)
C. Setup for Buzzer, Horn and Strobe. (Voting mode or Average mode? Does it need time
delay? How many minutes? List assigned sensors)
D. Do you need a Modbus RTU or BACnet /IP to report the controller running status to other
DCS
E. Setup system settings, such as password and LCD Backlight mode
2. Enter the database.
The database can be input using M-View which is a database setup software with a friendly
Man Machine Interface running on a PC computer, it supports downloading and uploading
the database to/from Q4 Controller. The database can also be input through the keypad on
Q4 Controller.
A. Input data for all remote sensors.
B. Setup all relay styles.
C. Setup buzzers and strobe
D. Setup system settings.
