Hi folks, can someone educate me on the tank cutaways... there are loads of cutaways in the standard library, is there a way to combine these with a tank image to make a transparent cutaway for use with an analog bar, or are we limited to the tanks that have a transparent bar?

Hi!
I have a problem with create a pulse bool tag. I need that after push button bool tag goes to 1, delay 0.1~0.5s and after goes to 0.
I'm use multiwrite tag and its not working.
I dont know how set a delay for change tag.
I needed a left triangle & a right triangle to make the shape I need in idea studio.
I thought could make two right triangles & mirror one of them but the mirror feature doesn't work with shapes, only with images.
I'm editing the pages .SRC now but that feels to me like a lot of work to do something which should be routine.
I muse be overlooking something basic here. What do o
I'm encountering an issue with VTScada where a specific tag stops logging data after performing a backup to an external USB drive (C:\VTSCADA). This doesn't happen every time, but approximately once a week, right after the backup is completed, the tag flatlines. It's consistently the same tag that's affected.
For context, I am using a Windows script that only backs up files that have changed

The customer will purchase the paid version of VTScada. He will need to access the factory supervisor (a specific sector) remotely, but it will not be done via an Ethernet cable, so as not to run the risk of being on Wi-Fi and others, so it will be via Modbus RTU. I need some help on how to do this procedure and for it to work through VTScada.

Hi,support
As shown in the figure below：
Variable A01 is a type and below it there are 10 variables, and I want to store the history of these 10 variables in different VTScada's history databases
Are there any 2 benefits to doing so?
1.Users can set the retention time of the database data according to their needs, for example,
HistorisanA is retained for 1 year,

Hello, I am looking for a way to input a numeric entry directly into a parameter of a tag.
For example, I am trying to develop an interface for an operator to change the #highhighalarmsetpoint parameter of an IO/Calculation (Analog) tag.
The numeric entry widget is telling me the numeric entry is not linked to a tag (makes sense). Am I just using the wrong widget?
I am currently us

Hi,Support
In order for VTScada to store data for 2 or 3 years, I need to expand the capacity of user's computer's hard drive, and I need to use RAID,
We will provide 3 ways: RAID0 or RAID1 or RAID10，
Allow users to choose one of the three RAID modes，
Can these three RAID modes store VTScada historical data normally?
Thank you
Hi Sir,
I have tried to do alarm notification test by email. Sending alarm notification to my email and acknowledge from my email by replying the email.
When I tested, the alarm notification received successfully to my gmail account. However, the alarm was automatically acknowledged even though I didn't acknowledge by replying the email with with ACK*XXX XXX (XXX XXX is alarm acknowledge

Greetings,
I, as most people, am working to create an RTU that utilizes the MQTT communications protocol. Right now I am testing with a local broker and have data reliably getting to VTScada.
However, I need the ability to write data back to a certain topic with a certain metric. The ability seems to exist, yet I have not had any luck with VTScada publishing the message correctly yet.

I have set up an OPC UA Client in VTScada. I am trying to access data along with its timestamp. Does VTScada support all the different types as defined in part 6 of the OPC Foundation’s OPC UA specification, section 5.1.2? I am looking to use the DataValue type (23).
I have created two tags with the same node addressing but one has the ty field set to 1, and the other 23. The value for
Hello everyone,
I am fairly new to using VTScada and I am looking for some advice on how to set up alarms efficiently. I understand that alarms are crucial for monitoring and alerting us to critical conditions but I want to make sure I am configuring them in the best possible way to avoid unnecessary noise and ensure quick response to actual issues.
Here are a few specific questions I hav

I am getting SendMail Error[7]: Invaild parameters when VT is trying to alarm out. I have tested through PowerShell and I can get a test email to work. Would this be an Email Server issue or perhaps how I have the alarm notification setup in VT?

Hi all,
Is it possible to implement "IF" "ELSEIF" operator functions at the I/O tag expression level?
I would normally write my expression as...
IF ([06. Profile Section] == 6) THEN ;
((3.145 ([08. Width] / 2) ([08. Width] / 2) ([09. Length]) / 1000000000) 100) ;

Hi,
I need to use a Dataflow module that's not currently in my list of available communication modules (specifically DCM032) in order to communicate with an older RTU -- is there a way to add this module or create a new one with the appropriate properties?
Thanks!
I've been using VTScada for a while now but one thing I cannot get to work is colourising Indicators.
All I want to do is have an indicator that in OFF state from a digital status tag is one colour and that in ON state from the same tag is green or yellow or red.
When I try to colourise and link the tag to any of the indicators all I get is grey when OFF and white when ON.
I'm clearly

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out...
I want to query a set of PLC recipe values from a tag change value (not the Retrieve button widget).
tag value change example:
(Scope(\VTSDB, "10}~q%wgad10\z)%&tz;10\u%10da}ikg-", TRUE)\Value <> 0;
Existing code using the retrieve button looks like this:
PickValid(Scope(\VTSDB, "9}~q%wgad3\z)%&tz;4\u%5da}
Hi,
We have operators leaving notes on the screens of their assigned stations.
We are also connecting a database system to our VTScada server via API, for automated data analysis & statistics of our stations.
We would now like to import the operator notes into our analytics system.
We have managed to import the notes payload from a selected station, by querying the "notebook"
Installed VTScadaLight on a Windows 10 machine. When trying to launch the application, immediately get error message "Setup Terminated." "Failed to retrieve unique machine identifier."
Is there a way to automatically purge data that is older than five years?
Or archive old data to an external HDD?

I have an application to mointor run time on a pump and would like to know if i can create a tag to monitor run time in seconds and then log the cycle time when pump stops. pump on/off would be a tag from a PLC.
Sequence = Pump on - measure run time - Pump Stops - Log Time and reset Timer.
Example log should look like this.

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.
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

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?

I have purchased VTScada License and not used it for till the Support Plus date is expired.
I tried to install the VTScada 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?
Dear all supportive members, I am a new one for this valuable product of VTScada so, please be aware of the starting tutorials like PDF/Videos and so on.
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.
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.).
