I am trying to conditionally disable alarm so it is only enabled while a certain piece of equipment is operating. I have the built in low alarm configured as such
When I right-click on the displayed analog tag it shows Disable Low Alarm as checked, but the alarm is still active in my alarm history. How do I keep this disabled while not operational?
Thanks.
I am using the warning category for non-critical alarms, and an alarm list widget set to show Active Alarms from the System Alarm DB to display these and critical alarms to the operator.
Currently the warning alarms show up in the alarm list and are highlighted yellow, this is desired.
I would, however, prefer they not cause window flashing or sound, and not require acknowledgement, rath
Still new to VTScada.
I have an I/O tag of length word in VT scada with an output address to a register in the PLC. I want to set/reset a bit at a desired position in that tag if an alarm status tag is true. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks
I already created the tags for my PLC in VTScada. I am trying to pull the digital status of a device in my system. First I was using Y memory bit, the digital status can be pulled correctly, I can see a value 1 shown on the Tag when that device was on. The Y memory bit address and function code are attached.
Then, I changed the Y memory to C memory bit, the device is still working well.

I want to create TCP Server in VTScada application.
That TCP server can listen on Defined IP & Port and that can be used to connect with TCP Client.
How can I create TCP server in VTScada?
Please share step by step guide.
In VTscada, is there a way to link a tag to an alarm acknowledgement button in the alarm window that can turn on or off a tag in the PLC?
Thanks.
I have an ultrasonic sensor with range from 40~300 [mm] outputs 4~20 [mA] to my PLC(ClickPLC). I established connection with the PLC and VTScada Light, the value pulled form PLC, is varying from -171 to 700 something with scaling set as 0~100 for both raw and processed.
I tried to pulled data from some other addresses on my PLC which are not used at all, I did get a value of zero. So I assum

Hello, I use VTScada Free and try to communicate with Micro 820 through CIP protocol.
I downloaded your sample, and can see that it connects to plc.
But I can't figure out how can I pass my tags.
CCW understands tags as variables. I must give a variable name and then use it.
VTScada asks for address.
I tried to pass the names I have given to variables but, no luck.
Thank you
since Vt scada has taken by delta electronics,does it support delta dvp 14ss2 rs485 i tried connecting it,or how to link kepserver with vt scada,I am getting data on kepserver quick client but not on vt scada.Seems like some certificate problem.can I get the proper method to do so?
thank you,

How can I make disable Automatic Deploy Changes in VTScada.
When I try to deploy changes it says it's not applicable because of enabling automatic deploy changes.
How can I disable this?
Where are those options to disable this?
Is OPC UA Driver supported in Light Version? I cannot get it to connect to a server: status not refreshed.
On the I/O address assist button seems grayed out and I cannot tell what is failing.
Tried from same client host UAExplorer and it connects fine.
I selected Anonymous and no certificates. Is this configuration not supported?
Is the a log file somewhere I can view?

Hey all,
Just looking for some input on modifying the GE series 90 driver to accept symbolic tags. If this can be managed I can cut out an intermediary OPC client and just run everything through VTScada.

I've created a Custom Type that contains five analog tags - Value, EU_Max, EU_Min, L_Alarm, H_Alarm. Their PLC addresses are based on a custom Parameter called 'BaseAddress'. Address expression example:
\baseaddress + ".Value"
I've also tried:
Pickvalid(Concat(..\baseaddress, ".Value), "")
and
Concat(getphrase(..\baseaddress), ".Value")
etc
Have also tried checking and unchecking

I am running the micro800 simulator on Allen Bradley's CCW software. It appears that you support micro800 PLC's using the Symbolic CIP driver, however when I try to use the AB CIP driver demo downloaded from your site, the connection blinks green and does not stay on. I have the simulator running on CCW with a basic start/stop logic. Please let me know if there is something specific that I need t

Someone redefined a type with a bunch of tags that didn't actually belong to the Type but were meant only for a particular instance. This went unnoticed for several months.
If possible, I'd like to set the Type back to the way it is supposed to be but cannot lose the history of those tags that were inadvertently added to the Type.
Hope this makes sense. Is there a not-too-complicated way
We are testing the VT Scada Light. I am trying to connect it with a energy measurement system using Modbus over TCP/IP directly from PC.
I created the tag using 'TCP IP Port' -> 'Modbus Compatible Device' -> 'Analog Input' and didn´t get the communication.
Followed the basic configuration done:
TCP IP Port: Adress: 192.168.1.12 Port: 502

Hello,
I recently downloaded VTScadaLIGHT in order to test a prototype device. I am writing to Modbus registers 40001 - 40010, and splitting my floating point values into 16 bit unsigned integers. How would I union them back together in VTScadaLIGHT as a floating point value?
ex)
40001 = 16 bit unsigned int
40002 = 16 bit unsigned int
union of 4001 and 40002 = Floating point

If I open the Historical Data Viewer page and turn a tag's trend visibility off by clicking the eyeball icon and then close the page, the trend visibility is set to disabled globally. You go to a page showing that tag's value and click on it to open the plot and it is not visible. Not only that, but any other user will also have that tag's plot not be visible.
How can I configure the plot vis

Hello, I am new to VTScada. I have an Alarm Word from the PLC, where each bit represents an individual fault. I'd like to read the entire Alarm Word as a single tag in VTscada and create alarms for each individual bit. I have found the expression Bit([HMI Alarm Word],2) for example to work as an expression, but I'm not sure where/how to enter this to create the Alarm. Thanks.

Hi,
I am new to VTScada and experimenting with VTScada light. Did a setup using Pumps and values.
I have a tag let us say > Local TCP Port\PLCSim\Pump 1 \ Motor Speed with current value 500.
Is there any way to set this value to 1000 by using some external programming (Not through manual dials)?

Hi VTScada Support.
I have two questions,
I have an Ethernet/IP to Data Highway Plus Converter it is ANC-100e (https://automation-networks.com/automation-networks-anc-100e-2).
It works as a controllogix gateway with a 1756 ENET and a 1756 DHRIO.
Can we work with your software? We use PCCC not CIP.
And if there is a way can you tell me how or where to look for a guide or manual?

Hi, is there a way to update a custom report without having to restart the application?

Currently, adding a new report won't require the application to restart, but adding or removing a report would require the application to start after clicking Import File Change. This becomes quite time consuming if I need to make/test small chang

Our company is going to purchase a full version of VTScada but while I am waiting to get everything approved I was wondering if I could develop a tag database in VTScada light and transfer it to a full version of VTScada
Thanks
