Client has an existing BMS system which they can configure internally. They would like a VTScada system to send info (live tag values) to the BMS so security can view if an alarm is active out of hours.
I could not see any drivers or info in the help. Are there any tools that enables VTScada to act as a EtherCAT slave, or will we need to put a gateway in (Modbus TCP to EtherCAT slave) to fac
Hello, I am new to using VTSCADA but have experience with SCADA software in the past. For our application, we would like to utilize VTSCADA to create data driven maintenance packages utilizing Maximo to create Work Orders.
An example of this application is:

Hi, Has anyone setup VTscada with an AB SLC505 over ethernet. I am struggling with understanding the configuration and receive either a 789, 3894 or no value. What would be the correct setup config for a SLC505 with IP address of 10.7.112.61.
Tried different PLC modes,Port segment paths and CIP targets and tried 44818 or 2222 TCP/IP port number each result in a error code. I can ping the add

Hi,
I've spend a little too much time on trying to figure out how to derive "Comms Loss" alarm from my Driver/Port settings using VT. I can see the value changes from 0 - Healthy to some other values when disconnected.
However, I couldn't figure out how to derive a simple "Comms Loss" tags from the system.
Any Advice would be welcome.
how to get cpu and motherboard serial numbers from PC where vtscada runs with script?
Hello everyone,
I'm working with VTScada to read multiple variables from a PLC via Modbus RTU. When reading digital inputs, coils, or bits (using Modbus function 01H), the PLC requires that they be read in multiples of 16 bits.
In VTScada, I use "I/O and Calculations" tags to read these variables, but I haven't found any option that allows me to read multiple bits at once.
I would rea

Hi all,
I have an application in which each tag has a context folder with tags just for internal use. That is, tags that will be needed for some widgets but we don't need the final user, in this case, the operators to have access to them.
Is there a way to hide them from the list of tags but still have them do their job?
Thank you in advance.

Is there any way to view or export Alarm response time metrics?
For example, I'd like to send a customer something like;
Average Alarm Response Time: 5 minutes
Maximum Alarm Response Time: 30 minutes
Does VTSCADA support this, or has anyone ever ran this kind of reporting?
Thanks,
KC

Is there any way to read and write to VT scada tag from other application.
Hi, Im wondering if there is a way to build one popup, and each time its opened, depending on what screen its on, if there is a way to assign a different UDT or tag for it to look at. For example, if i have 3 displays that all show flowmeters, can I use a single popup instead of creating 3 separate popups and just have the tags that it looks at, change based on the page its on??

This would be a simple thing to add. Have a system properties that sets the default width of drawings pipes and lines. So you dont need to always change the width if you don't like the huge default size of pipe drawing tool.
Hi all,
In the tag browser, is there any way you can use an "or" statement to search for multiple tags at the same time?

Does anyone know how to connect to Motorola ACE 3600?
The most common instructions are all about Modbus TCP which is not supported by ACE 3600, and I have no idea to make it via Motorola ACE Driver. Does anyone have experiences on that?
With the upcoming flood of Win11 upgrades for fall 2025, what are the minimum requirements needed for VTScada version?
I wanted to refresh myself on VTScada, so got the light version installed on a desktop PC that has no connection to the internet. The only connection is to the SCADA server utilizing a static IP address. When I went to assign the Port (TCP/IP) with the address as 127.0.0.1 (loopback) and the port as 501 then created a Modbus Compatible Device Driver set to Address 1 pointed at the TCP/IP port. I

How to write multiple functions into one *.src file
In VTScade it is possible to define your own functions.
Edit AppRoot.SCR where the file with functions is defined.
Then in the file for example NewFunctionName.SRC you write a function.
This works correctly for me if there is only one function in the file, but when you add a second one it says that you are using the used variable.
Hello, I am trying to create a control screen on the left hand side that auto populates depending on what equipment is present on the main screen. So if we have 3 pumps on the main screen, the side screen should autofill with 3 pump start/stop button that correctly reference the names of the pumps.
Could anyone point me to a resource that would help with this setup?
Thank you.
We have a system running an OEM layer and an application. There have been many tag types added to the Application rather than the OEM. To enable master/subordinate hierarchy for a new site, we want to migrate these tag types to the OEM layer. How can we achieve this with minimal disruption to the existing application?

Could you please advise step by step?
I see VTScada can add 3D graphics created with 3rd party software (Must be flat jpg, png, bmp) from VTScada website. I am worried I cannot rotate and view from many angles in VTScada if VTScada only supports these file formats.

I have an ipad with the newest iOS firmware 10.3.3, all apps are up to date, yet when I log in the VTScada, after filling out username and password, it gives a white blank page.
Have tried different browsers: Safari, Chrome, Firefox but still not have luck.
I also have another ipad and this one is working fine. So network issues are not this case.
Would you please help me out? Thank
