Hi,

I have created a HTML report page that interacts with my VT Scada application historian.

Does anyone know of a way that i can link my HTLM file (local to server) to a widget or screen?

e.g. Push button that opens the HTML.

Thank you in advance.

Joe.

I wanted to ask, can we still connect to the OPC UA Server or SQL Server (which is the VT Scada Server where tag history is stored) with the runtime licence only? I have heard software like XLReporter run with VT Scada without the needed Development Licence.

I know VT Scada stores data in its own historian, but is there with just the runtime licence - we can configure the Scada project to sto

Hello, I was trying to pull data out from my MS SQL to VTSCADA and shown in a table form.

I do have a few tags that can pull the data out.
but it's kind of not making sense that i need to make a tag for every single cell.
i think there must be a way i can pull out a bunch of data into a table view by a single query.

How can I do that?

I want to animate a pie. My plan is to stack a white circle, then a yellow pie for power, then a small white pie, and another small colored pie on top of that so I can see how the generator speed is layered on top of the power output.

However, I don't see how to bind these things to the pie shape.

Or is there a way to color the arc meters in the gauges?

Dear Community,
I have micrologix 1100 PLC and VT SCADA Light Version. I had communicated both SCADA and PLC. Now, I want to send logs over UDP protocol to the syslog server. i need help and step by step guidance about this.
Secondly, I want to know where VT SCADA light version stores the logs on the PC and how I can enable VT SCADA to save the logs at specific path.
Need your help pleas

I need to average one point on the graph to another, without exporting all the recorded content, only the selectable content. And I need to export it via Excel. How do I do this? Is there a method?



I need to average just this one pen that is circled:

I have a device that receives information from a sensor. The sensor information is displayed on a graph. At certain points on this device, the variable becomes negative and resets to zero. How can I exclude this negative and reset variable from the graphs so that it doesn't apply to the invoice, since it makes no difference and will end up interfering with Excel exports? (Customer request)

I'm currently lining up hardware to experiment with VTSCADA. I'll be using an Arduino Nano for the Control and looking to communicate with VTSCADA.

Can I use the RS-232 protocol or would it be advisable to use RS-485?

The answer will provide me with a direction on the communication interface hardware.

Kind Regards - Aaron

Good afternoon, I am looking to be able to make a query to VTScada using a DSN connection and return a list of all the active alarms in a vtscada application. Maybe with the ability to filter by area. Currently I can query tag data/values with great success.
For example, one query I have setup is the number of active alarms at a site. I do this by creating a calculation tag for a site (context

Is it possible to run a report (or create a custom report) to display the current value of multiple tags all as a single row at a common timestamp that is based off of a trigger or specific tags timestamp (rather than at an hourly or other timeframe snapshot specific time)?

I frequently get requests from users to set up reports or historical data exports to allow them to track and save multip

So I'm a bit out of my element here- we're moving to VTScada and I need to get all of our existing tags and alarms added to this new system.

As it stands, all I have to work with is the PLC's IP address, port number, unit ID, and a whole lot of named datapoints and alarms with modbus addresses. This has seemed like more than enough, but I'm seeing a LOT of options here and I'm clueless on wha

Sheet metal fabrication is a key process in industries like automotive, electronics, construction, and machinery. It involves cutting, bending, and assembling flat metal sheets into usable products or components. But with the rise of automation and new materials, how is this traditional process evolving?

I am looking for someone who is willing to share an application with scripting examples, with the values being passed from multiple tags to the script and out of the script to multiple tags. I have looked on help files but this is not clearly defined, or am I missing something? Tried something like Scope(VTSDB, "FullTagName"\Value but it is not passing and processing the values.

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.
