I have created a Beckhoff SDF overview MEDM screen, it is accessible from the sitemap via the GRD button (last entry at bottom of list).

For each of the 9 PLCs I have done the following:

1. In the target area for the beckhoff target (not the sdf target) I created a new autoBurt.req file by parsing the Beckhoff channel list which I had created last week from the raw epics database file.

cd /opt/rtcds/lho/h1/target/h1ecatc1/h1ecatc1plc1epics/

cat ~david.barker/sdf/h1ecatc1_PLC1_sdf_chanlist.ini| grep "H1"|sed 's/[//g'|sed 's/]//g' |sort > autoBurt.req

2. Use the new autoBurt.req to snapshot the running system and create an OBSERVE.snap file in the sdf target area

cd /opt/rtcds/lho/1/target/h1sysecatc1plc1sdf/h1sysecatc1plc1sdfepics/burt

burtrb -f /opt/rtcds/lho/h1/target/h1ecatc1/h1ecatc1plc1epics/autoBurt.req > OBSERVE.snap

3. Set the OBSERVE.snap to monitor all channels as a starting point

set_sdf_monitor 1 OBSERVE.snap

4. For each PLC, configure to use the OBSERVE.snap as the reference table file

5. Copy the OBSERVE.snaps from the target into the SVN userapps area for sys/h1/burtfiles, create symbolic links in the target area
