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

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?

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?
What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Common techniques: laser cutting, punching, bending

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.

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to bulk generate/edit tags, and got stuck here.

It seems for every new tag, vtscada generates its own custom hash ?

I tried to use python to generate some random string, but faced error as shown in picture.


Tag name found that doesn't match tag file hash



What is tag file hash, how to generate it.

Attempting to connect to HiveMQ Cloud MQTT Broker which requires TLS. I've connected to other MQTT brokers that didn't require TLS with no issues. I've created an MQTT Client Driver and created a TCP/IP Port child. None of the TLS settings were successful so I download a pem file from HiveMQ, converted it to a crt file using OpenSSL and imported it to my PC but it does not appear in the list o

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:

HVAC filter dp is monitored and there is currently an existing job plan in Maximo to do the PM to replace the filters. VTSCADA would
