Is there a way to move the Data Age from a polling driver that is a child to the parent Context Tag/Custom Tag type? i looked through the source debugger for a variable and could not find one. i am assuming this may not be possible with the default context site details widget that is displayed. And yes i know if the polling driver is the parent it displays automatically.

Dear vtscada authority, I have been wanting to pull data directly from the scada database by establishing an odbc connection for a long time, but I could not establish the connection.

I have two questions:

first one: the ODBC license in the manuals asks if it is active, I do not see this part active or deactive, or even not at all, has this been removed with the new license?

Second: d

I have a VT Scada realm configured with 9 applications. When I connect to this realm using the ODBC DSN, I only see the tags configured in the first application of the realm.

Do I need to create a new realm for each application? Can multiple VT Scada realms run on the same machine at the same time without issue?

What would be the best way to approach this kind of configuration? My goal

How do I create text buttons (inputs) for login access? For example, in VTScada, I created my user with the necessary permissions. In the supervisory, I want to add two input buttons and a confirmation button. These input buttons would be Username and Password. The user will enter their username and then their password. If it is correct, go to the plant Synopsis page. How do I do that? I'm

Hi All,

I want to write three status from two different tag values.

"1" Means "Open"
"2" Means "Close"
"3" Means "Travel"

How to write the tag expression referencing another two tag value in VT SCADA.

if [Sludge Dewatering\ZIO_6333A]==1 then "1"
else if [Sludge Dewatering\ZIC_6333A]==1 then "2"
ELSE "3"

I'm currently working through developing some new windows for a client. I'm new to VT Scada and have spent the bulk of my career in Ignition. I was given a changeset file to reference what they currently have or at least within the last 6 months. I started a new application to develop just the new pages and tags that I will import into the client's system.

Traditionally I have always develop

I'd like to use a tag to create an Upper Control Limit (UCL) and a Lower Control Limit (LCL). This involves calculating the mean and standard deviation for a period of time. The formulas would be:

UCL = mean + (3 x (Standard Deviation))
LCL = mean - (3 x (Standard Deviation))

What would be the best approach to do this? I was looking at doing an I/O Calc tag, but the avg() and SDev()

Hello,

I wrote a calculation(analog) tag to show datetime and that value will export to excel but excel is cutting the last 3 digits.

I used the following expression, and it gives the value 202310282319 which i need to process in excel but that's fine.

CONCAT(Date(Today(), "yyyyMMdd"), "", Time(Now(1), "HHmm"))

Giving hyphens between dates don't work for analog tags.
I cannot change

A Chromium browser bug is causing some graphics not to render (where ZColorChange is used). The bug was introduced in Google Chrome Browser version 119 and associated Chromium versions (Microsoft Edge Included).

I'm currently working through the training simulator to learn the fundamentals for this software. I'm stuck as I'm at the point where I need to develop graphics and start binding to tags. The button to launch the Idea Studio is missing in this project. I would expect to see it right next to the button to launch the tag configurator. Is there another way I can open Idea studio? Any ideas on how to

Hi,

I am trying to use a report tag to create a standard report on a 24 hour basis, running the previous 12 hours of tag data into a csv file. I can get that to work.

But I want to further automate the process and I need VTSCADA to format the report in a certain way, so every day I want the current date formatted as DD-MM-YY followed by "raw".

I can get the report to output but it has
