I have the latest Light software. Up and running connected to a Compact Logix running V20 flawlessly. But with my V.28 Control Logix, it will connect long enough to show the connection in the AB Demo driver then disconnects. what can I try?

My programing data is as follows.

Hi,

Is it possible for each server/station of the same VTScada application to have their own Alarm DB and Event DB?

Or is there any way so that alarms would need to be acknowledged independently on each server/station? So if an alarm is acknowledged on one server, it still shows up as unacknowledged on the other.

Thanks
Victor

Hello, can someone please take a look at the attached screen shots and let me know why there are no values for the tags "T_Room" and "DI4"? I'm connected through a USB to Modbus RTU converter. The TX and RX lights are flashing on the converter, so I know its talking to the PLC. The first four screen shots are from the PLC software. I not sure how the scaling should be set up for analog status

Hi,

I have a custom page I need to be only accessed by superAdministrators.
In order do do this, I created an application privilege and added it to the required security privilege of the page. Then I added the application privilege to the superAdministrator role.

Now I would like to hide that application privilege from regular Administrator to prevent them from managing that privilege.

Hi,

I'd like to add a vertical scrollbar to my window so I can see the elements outside that window scope. I am able to display the scrollbar using VScrollbar. As I understand, VScrollbar returns a numeric value representing its position.

I tried using WindowOptions to make a vertical translation equal to my scrollbar position to no avail.

Could you tell me how to properly use VScrol

Hi,
I am new to VTScada and I am testing out the scripting potential of the platform.
I started out by creating a widget that display my typical dataset linked to tags. To display that widget I used the GUITransform function.
Now I obviously don't only have one but many of those that I want to display on the same screen. Also the number will change dynamically so they will h

Hi,

I'd like to use an array of tags and order it by different characteristics in script (ex. the tags with an active alarm first).

I think the best way to achieve this is by using the function GetTagList then sort that array. Unfortunately GetTagList only return an array of tag names so I can't access the tags properties. In order to sort them I would need a function that return a tag p

I am very new to SCADA we are using the vtsx client to connect to the server. On some of the Windows 10 desktops when the URL to the server is typed in the program automatically adds :80 to the end and will not connect. i.e. the url is http://15.15.15.15 as soon as we hit connect it shows up a http://15.15.15.15:80

The service is running on port 80 on the server.

Windows 10 update KB4056892 prevents the VTScada Internet Client (VIC) from being launched using the VTSX desktop program on client computers with that update installed. Other VTScada Thin Client formats, including those for all mobile devices, are unaffected (see work arounds below).

Are you using VTScada Alarm Notifications while running VTScada as a Windows Service? The ability to run VTScada as a service was introduced in version 11.1. It allows an application to optionally run in the background without an active user interface.

Please note that Microsoft does not permit Windows services to access SAPI, the built-in Windows text-to-speech engine. This means that if y

When you try to do a "Plain Excel XLS File" report, it fails with the error "Unable to generate report. Invalid data source."

You can also get a similar response when you try to use the print wizard on the Historical Data Viewer.

It appears this is being caused by changes to the Microsoft JET drivers in an October update. The new JET drivers can be found here for 2010 -
