Is CSV Import to Historian supported on VTScadaLight?
I am trying to import historic data from CSV files into some tag history. I followed all the instructions on the process, but when I restart the application, it does not load the CSV files after loading and starting the tags.
I have the CSVHistory directory in my application's Data directory, I added the TagMapping.CSV file and the on

Hey everyone.
I am trying to use excel to read the tag values from my application, in the example in this link https://www.trihedral.com/help/Content/D_DataSharing/D_DDEServer.htm
It says to use
=VTS|'AppName'!'TagName\Value'
For my application I would think it would be
=VTS|'HMI'!'DUPREE_WTP_DRIVER\DUP_HSP1_PDAY_RT\Value'
HMI being the app name and then the tag

Hello,
I am having a problem reading tags from my OPC Server using VTScada Light. The server is located on an external PC and the connection to the client PC is made through DCOM. I know the DCOM configuration is correct because I can use Matrikon OPC Explorer on the client PC to read all the servers and tags on the external PC. I just can't replicate this within VTScada.

Single Application on 3 different Servers that are connected via radio link.
Call them ServerA, ServerB, ServerC
3 PLCs (actually more but this is good enough) each PLC is located in proximity to its similar server
Call them PLCA, PLCB, PLCC
Default configuration is ServerA - if primary does polling to PLCA, PLCB, PLCC. If ServerA goes down ServerB takes over all communication a
I am using KepDirect as an OPC server. I have disabled windows firewalls and can successfully ping between computers.
When I go in VTScada Lt to create a new OPC client, it doesn't see Kepdirect as an option in the pull down menu. Any help?
Polling the three modbus radios all is fine until the second server is started (it's new) What did I miss here?
We have an application in which the customer wishes to rearm priority 1 alarms if they stay in the alarm state for an extended period. He also would like the rearmed alarm to re-send a notification upon rearming. I have not seen anything in the manual about this being possible, but all attempts of trying it did not work. The alarm would in fact rearm, but no new notifications were sent. I had
The VTScada on my laptop will not run as an application.
Every time I try to launch it, I get
Error "VTScada is currently running as a service"
"Starting VTScada as an application requires stopping the service, which could disrupt other users or the operation of this installation.
It is recommended that configuration be performed on a machine that doesn't host a VTScada service.

We are trying to establish a connection from our clients on a local network to the primary application server. Firewalls have been disabled and I am using a LAN network for testing.

Hello everyone,
I'm a beginner with raspberry pi and also to Python language. I'm trying to use the raspberry pi 3 for industrial application and for that I've connected quite a few sensors (temperature, humidity, co2 etc.) I'm successfully able to get reading from the individual sensors and wrote a structured program with few functions related to each sensors to get reading from all the sens
I have a small OEM style PLC with Modbus TCP support. VTSCADA easily reads data from the the controller. When "Enable Output" is checked however, there is no change in the PLC data table when "manual data" is entered.
A third party Modbus Simulator has no problem writing the data to the PLC.
VTS presents NO ERRORS on the Modbus Status.
Question,
The PLC Support folks say to use

How to sum tag no.1 and tag no.2.?
I'd like to set up a Modbus Compatible Device driver to act as a virtual PLC. I then want a separate machine to poll this virtual PLC via Modbus TCP to read the values in the Virtual PLC registers.
Is this possible - and if so, how do I set this up? I have tried creating a virtual PLC and put an analog tag with a value in there, but I cannot get a Modbus Client device to successfully connect
i want sum value of TAG.
dear sir
i have modbus register . but it have bit 00-15 .Which driver should I use?
For Testing Purposes, I would like to Enable or Disable an Automatic SilenceSound() Function so that I hear 5 seconds of the Alarm Alert sounds and then they are Silenced without Operator intervention. I don't want to Acknowledge or take any other Actions.

Hello guys,
I try to connect VTScada with my AB Micrologix 1000 PLC. It still uses serial port RS232 (I connect with USB converter-COM3).
I have tried Allen Bardley DF1 Driver. But it doesn't work. My PLC type is not available at PLC type list. But I hope they still can be connected.
Could you guys help me please.
Thanks,
Hi,
My VTScada application uses a 3rd-Party database (MySQL). I'm trying to retrieve a tablename using this query:
SELECT tablename FROM friendlyTagNameLookup WHERE friendlyName = 'MyTag';
Unfortunately, this query returns null. Upon looking directly in the database, I can see that the table 'friendlytagnamelookup' is incomplete. Some tags are present and others are missing. I tried addin

With Analog Status you have High and Low alarm setpoints built in so you don't have additional setpoint tags go against your tag count. How do you then refrence these setpoints inside the digital status tag to a numeric entry so that users can changes these without having to go into tag browser?
Is this the design that for adjustable setpoints in HMI it requires tags (that go against the cou

Hi, is there a recommended way to trigger on-screen keyboard on Windows 10?
I have an application with a Program Spawn button and a path to c:\Windows\System32\osk.exe
The same button on Windows 7 would open the on-screen keyboard but not on Windows 10.
However, if I change it to notepad c:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe, it would work on both Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Thanks

Hi there,
I have recently ventured into trying VTSCADA and I really REALLY like it.
I use scada systems for very simple lab based data aquisition and control. Very seldom more than 15 tags.
My challenge is that I need to aquire a timestamp ONLY when a certain tag value changes. The tag is basically a totaliser (Analog input from MCU). This is very simple to do in the likes of SCADABR
