I am looking to display the following VIC Client information in a project:


Server Name client is connected to
Client Name
Logged in Windows username that the client is running on

For item 1 (Server Name) I am using the following expression which is working fine: \DisplayManager\RootSession\Name

How would I reference items 2 & 3 above?

Hello,

Getting error code 33,028 when trying to connect to Siemens S7 Driver. I'm using VTSCADA Light Version 12.0.04.

Any Help is Appreciated

Found Solution

Open the PLC project in the S7 TIA Portal software.
Go to Project View
In the Project Tree window, select the device that is causing the error.
Hit Alt-Enter to bring up the Properties dialog.
On the General tab,

Hi, I would like to put a numeric entry box somewhere in my application so that the alarm parameters (like low alarm setpoint) can be changed without the user having to go into the tag properties. Is it possible to reference these parameters outside the properties box? for example like how you can reference a tags value by using \Value

If that is not possible then is it possible to create a t

I am using KepDirect as an OPC server. I have disabled windows firewalls and can successfully ping between computers.

When I go in VTScada Lt to create a new OPC client, it doesn't see Kepdirect as an option in the pull down menu. Any help?

Has anyone experienced issues being online with an Allen Bradley PLC, causing VTScada to slow down or even lose communication at all? Doesn’t really cause any major issues (yet) but I’m curious if anyone else has seen this, thank you

We are preparing to upgrade our software from 11.3 to 12.0+ and I am looking for any information that we need to know before upgrading? (i.e. are there any windows updates that don't play nice with VTScada v12?, any major changes we should prepare for going from 11.3 to 12?)

Also, as a secondary question, is it possible to launch our application on a different PC/Server and run it as if it we

What is the best/easiest way to manually disable comms to a device that is missing? I have devices that are offline at times and I want to optimize comms by preventing the driver from trying to constantly attempt comms to a device that I know is offline. Is there a setting I can toggle? Thanks.

We have 4 computers on the same network at a single location, none of them have internet access and the times on the computers will tend to float away from each other. Is there a way to sync all 4 using VTScada somehow? Basically just need to have one common time across all stations if possible.

Hi community, is there a way to clear the logged trend plot line data. I want to keep storage on the host pc to a minimum and do not want this file to get too large. Keeping data for a long time is not a priority so I would like to delete the logged data periodically. Thank you.

Hi community. I am trying to use a calculation tag to determine the bit status of an analog value. I cannot seem to get the syntax correct to put in the expression. I found the code snippet below but I think that may be for scripting not expressions...not sure Is there any documentation on functions and syntax for these expressions? trying [value] && 4 does not work to find the statu

I am working on a project where I need to setup communication between VTSCADA and an Allen Bradley SLC504 using a DH+ to EtherNet/IP Gateway (Prosoft AN-X2-AB-DHRIO). I am lost on how to set this up with the drivers and ports.

Hello vt scada community. New user here. I am looking for assistance to create several digital tags based off the value of a single Modbus register. For example, register 40001 value =1 is "pump running". Same register 40001 value =2 is "pump stopped". How can I accomplish this with minimal tag usage? Thank you

I need to create a report that will display the lowest value that a tag registered throughout an entire day, along with the time that occurred. On top of that I need to display this information for the entire month.

I really do not know how to approach this at the moment.

I thought about using the standard report type since I believe it dumps all the available data into the report, and th

Perhaps this is a really dumb question but the new High Performance Widgets (the "bar" ones) still have the initial default yellow diamond on them and since we're unable to edit these widgets, I haven't figured out how to remove them. Am I missing something or is this a temporary glitch?

Is it possible to build a tag that can determine the elevation of my facility based upon the coordinantes in the parent site tag?

Or is it possible build a widget that references the Long. and Lat. of the parent site tag to determine site's elevation?

Thanks in advance!

Programming question:

I'm using an Analog output (VTS Datatype) writing to a PLC DINT by way of a "Numeric Input" on the page to allow user to enter a passcode (EQU in PLC) to permit the action of a selector switch, right below the numeric input box.

When you enter the correct number, "it is retained in the VTS tag browser" and will work okay. But I need a way to clear it out after a minu

It appears as though you cannot pass a Universal IO - String Calculation tag configured as a string to a Script tag.

Changing the Universal tag to a Numeric Calculation, but keeping the value as a string, works just fine, the Script is able to use the parameter's string value. Downside of this is that the value of the tag does not show in the tag browser.

As well, using the legacy Calcula

I need to find the highest value of all tags named DataAge under a Context Tag PC regardless of context depth.

Using

Uhh, what the 8 inch pipe was that?

Anyway to make it ignore an insanely high flow signal?
