We have a system with Redundant Allen Bradley ControlLogix 1756-L82E PLCs linked with the 1756-RM2 redundancy module. I am having issues with trying to come up with the correct Port Segment Path for the Rockwell Driver. I assume with the redundant PLCs, you reference the redundancy module for tag information and allow them to route the message to the primary PLC.
I was wondering if anyone has or knows of a comprehensive list of all the variables, constants, and parameters available for use when building custom tags that incorporate automatic inheritance, etc.
I’ve come across a few that are detailed in the help files, such as:
\Value
\DisplayAddress
Here’s the link I’ve found so far: file:///C:/VTScada_12_0_42/VTSHelp/Conte
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has built a data table drag and drop widget. Looking to create a drag and drop table that functions like Excel spreadsheet (e.g., filter, sort, search on column headings). Connect cell data to tags for population or manual input. We are currenly building a table however the process is very manual (e.g., need to rescale everytime a column is added etc.).

How do I read this address from VTScada? I've tried all the Data Suffixes for Tag I/O Addressing but it didn't work. Below is the address "30001" in ModScan and its temperature reading. I've tried "30001/Float" but it didn't work.
I also tried to do it through BuffOrder but I didn't understand correctly how to set it.
Regarding the "Coils" they are working perfectly.
How do i make the VTScada server only use my one IP address not both NIC's
I am using the below expression in an IO/Calculation tag to get the number of critical and high alarms for the dependent tags
\AlarmManager.GetAlarmStateStats([PLC_01a]\Root)\ActivePriorities["0001"]
Most of the parent tags I get good results. Any ideas on why some results are invalid? Does this indicate there are no alarms configured in tags within the structure?
Or is it a matt
I have purchased VT Scada License and not used it for till the Support Plus date is expired.
I tried to install the VT Scada software with the license key available, it gives me a error "You need to renew your license to install this version of the application."
How can I know what version will be supported to the license?
what is the solution for this?
I am going behind someone on an unfinished attempt to display alarm counts by area. Below is an alarm query tag calculation path for the influent pump station area:

I'm attempting to create a "tabbed child window" on a page where selecting a different "tab" changes the content of the "child window". There are a lot of built-in examples (e.g. refer to image of Equipment->Station All Outputs below), but I'm unsure how to modify or recreate the widget for my own use.
Please advise, and thank you.

Just wanted to check in and see if I am doing something incorrectly inside this window.
I just have a bunch of widget selected at once. I wish to delete multiple widgets in this selection. My first instinct was to just right click a widget inside the window and click delete. The surprising part is that the system then unselected all of my widgets that I had selected. I selected the group aga

I am trying to find a way to change the Font colour of the Droplist widgets Title text. The Style and Font links are for the text in the droplist but there seems to be no option for the title text. It currently defaults to pure black and this is not a great colour for me to use in the HMI I am using this widget on. Is there a work around to be able to change the colour of the TITLE text?
Than
is there a way to add a carriage return-line to a text or specifically a tool tip widget.
For example,
concat("Text", \r, [tag])
Is there a way to change the page print orientation and other variables through VTScada?
Thanks.
Is the PrintDialogBox function a way? I don't understand exactly how it works

Hello, I am preparing a report, for this I want to bind it to a tag using the add parameter expresion to the duration value by selecting the time custom in the report tag, but it is said that I need to enter a value in the range 1-32767.
Can we make the I/O tag suitable for this. Obviously, I am creating the report time with the totalizer. I should somehow automatically assign this totalizer
I am looking to test the state change of some I/O tags, analog inputs for breaker status. Is there a way to force a value for the tag so I can see the Text Change and Color Box widgets change text and color?

Hi!
Im trying to show popup window on internal tag change from false to true, but it doesnt work.. I write in source code this code (this code in Main [..]):
If [test_bool_tag]==true;
[
\DisplayManager\ShowPage("test_page");

Maybe I'm doing something wrong or other better ways to do this?
Hello:
Very new user here.
I'm looking at a very small test system. Mainly looking to do some trending. Not looking for redundancy, etc.
I create an application on my laptop. What's the path to move that to a "working" computer? Can I export the application from my laptop to a USB stick, then install on the target?
thanks
What is the "intent" of a plot versus the HDV? Where would I use one and not the other?
Looks like plots are single pen?
I want to create a trend with several variables that always looks the same when it opens ... same scaling, time range. My first thought was a plot, or series of plots (because the HDV is a new concept to me) but maybe there is a better way?
thanks

Hello,
I have 2 apps running on the same VAM. I'd like to merge these apps together keeping all data. What's the best way to do this? I believe a changeset would work but I would like confirmation or ideas on other ways. Not much info on this specific topic in the reference guides.
------Edit----- I see that a changeset will not work in this case based off "create a changeset" section.
Has anyone connected VTScada MQTT client driver to AWS IoT Core MQTT broker successfully? I have a device publishing to a AWS and I can see the data coming in on the topic.
I added the TCP/IP port for the AWS broker. Really unclear as to what Name/Address to use, as well as the port and if I need to use TLS. I am thinking I do since the device I am using I had to copy the TLS Security certif

Hi Everyone,
I’m a student at a German Uni working on a project with VT Scada. I’m curious to know how one can check/know how much data is being logged and stored in VT Scada.I’ve read the user manual and watched multiple videos, however I’m yet to find the solution. I would really be appreciative for any guidance.
Thank you.
I have locked my login in vtscada and I want to unlock it and know how to reset it, in a clear, specific and fast way.
help me

I'm trying to communicate between the Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100 and VTScada.
I did the following procedures:
I created a Context TAG with the name of my PLC;
Then, within the Context TAG, I created another TCP/IP tag;
In the TCP/IP TAG I entered the Address of my PLC and the Port: 44818;
Within the TCP/IP TAG, I created the Driver TAG and selected the Rockwell Allen Bradley Devices D
I have an alarm since forever and it is nowhere to be found and it doesn't have any description so I can track it down and disable it or do something with it.

Any way to change the Backround color of the Historical Data Viewer? It would be nice to be able to change to black for better contrast.
In the Bottom Left is a navigation widget made with Page Buttons. In the picture, the "Digster" page is opened.
My question is:
Is there a way to highlight the background of each button when the particular page is loaded on screen?
For example, in this cases, the "Digester" button is clicked and "Digester" button is opened. So the Page button should have a different background color.
I am trying to create a new tag that totalizes a tag based on month. (I dont want the last 30 days, but the total for January, February, etc.). The specific tag that I am using total pieces of production for a 12 hour shift. I need to totalize that tag to see the production for that month.
Is there any indirect tag in VT-SCADA?
I'm just want to show multiple devices in one widget. So, like other scada, using indirect tag put in widget and just need to change that indirect tag to show value of different devices.

Hi All,
Does anyone know if it is possible to move a current string tag value to another string tag?
I have tried to multi-write tag... it allows a constant to be written to a string output tag but not another string tag value to be written to a output tag...
Any help would be much appreciated.
