Legacy System Removal Summary

Overview

Successfully removed the legacy station/pump configuration system and fully integrated the tag-based metadata system throughout the Calejo Control application.

Changes Made

1. Configuration Manager (src/dashboard/configuration_manager.py)

• Removed legacy classes: PumpStationConfig, PumpConfig, SafetyLimitsConfig
• Updated ProtocolMapping model: Added validators to check station_id, equipment_id, and data_type_id against the tag metadata system
• Updated HardwareDiscoveryResult: Changed from legacy class references to generic dictionaries
• Cleaned up configuration methods: Removed legacy configuration export/import methods

2. API Endpoints (src/dashboard/api.py)

• Removed legacy endpoints: /configure/station, /configure/pump, /configure/safety-limits
• Added tag metadata endpoints: /metadata/stations, /metadata/equipment, /metadata/data-types
• Updated protocol mapping endpoints: Now validate against tag metadata system

3. UI Templates (src/dashboard/templates.py)

• Replaced text inputs with dropdowns: For station_id, equipment_id, and data_type_id fields
• Added dynamic loading: Dropdowns are populated from tag metadata API endpoints
• Updated form validation: Now validates against available tag metadata
• Enhanced table display: Shows human-readable names with IDs in protocol mappings table
• Updated headers: Descriptive column headers indicate "Name & ID" format

4. JavaScript (static/protocol_mapping.js)

• Added tag metadata loading functions: loadTagMetadata(), populateStationDropdown(), populateEquipmentDropdown(), populateDataTypeDropdown()
• Updated form handling: Now validates against tag metadata before submission
• Enhanced user experience: Dropdowns provide selection from available tag metadata
• Improved table display: displayProtocolMappings shows human-readable names from tag metadata
• Ensured metadata loading: loadProtocolMappings ensures tag metadata is loaded before display

5. Security Module (src/core/security.py)

• Removed legacy permissions: configure_safety_limits permission removed from ENGINEER and ADMINISTRATOR roles

Technical Details

Validation System

• Station Validation: station_id must exist in tag metadata stations
• Equipment Validation: equipment_id must exist in tag metadata equipment
• Data Type Validation: data_type_id must exist in tag metadata data types

API Integration

• Metadata Endpoints: Provide real-time access to tag metadata
• Protocol Mapping: All mappings now reference tag metadata IDs
• Error Handling: Clear validation errors when tag metadata doesn't exist

User Interface

• Dropdown Selection: Users select from available tag metadata instead of manual entry
• Dynamic Loading: Dropdowns populated from API endpoints on page load
• Validation Feedback: Clear error messages when invalid selections are made
• Human-Readable Display: Protocol mappings table shows descriptive names with IDs
• Enhanced Usability: Users can easily identify stations, equipment, and data types by name

Benefits

1. Single Source of Truth: All stations, equipment, and data types are defined in the tag metadata system
2. Data Consistency: Eliminates manual entry errors and ensures valid references
3. Improved User Experience: Dropdown selection is faster and more reliable than manual entry
4. System Integrity: Validators prevent invalid configurations from being saved
5. Maintainability: Simplified codebase with unified metadata approach
6. Human-Readable Display: UI shows descriptive names instead of raw IDs for better user experience

Sample Metadata

The system includes sample metadata for demonstration:

Stations

• Main Pump Station (station_main) - Primary water pumping station
• Backup Pump Station (station_backup) - Emergency backup pumping station

Equipment

• Primary Pump (pump_primary) - Main water pump with variable speed drive
• Backup Pump (pump_backup) - Emergency backup water pump
• Pressure Sensor (sensor_pressure) - Water pressure monitoring sensor
• Flow Meter (sensor_flow) - Water flow rate measurement device

Data Types

• Pump Speed (speed_pump) - Pump motor speed control (RPM, 0-3000)
• Water Pressure (pressure_water) - Water pressure measurement (PSI, 0-100)
• Pump Status (status_pump) - Pump operational status
• Flow Rate (flow_rate) - Water flow rate measurement (GPM, 0-1000)

Testing

All integration tests passed:

• ✅ Configuration manager imports without legacy classes
• ✅ ProtocolMapping validators check against tag metadata system
• ✅ API endpoints use tag metadata system
• ✅ UI templates use dropdowns instead of text inputs
• ✅ Legacy endpoints and classes completely removed

Migration Notes

• Existing protocol mappings will need to be updated to use valid tag metadata IDs
• Tag metadata must be populated before creating new protocol mappings
• The system now requires all stations, equipment, and data types to be defined in the tag metadata system before use
