Hello, I am trying to connect mysql database to VTScada application.
First of all, is it possible to save to database values from plc through VTScada?
I want to save temperatures through time.
If yes, I haven't manage it yet. I have created a Realm and added my current application to the realm.
I created a VTS ODBC connection at System DSN. I test the connection and obviously it retu

Hello, I use VTScada Free and try to communicate with Micro 820 through CIP protocol.
I downloaded your sample, and can see that it connects to plc.
But I can't figure out how can I pass my tags.
CCW understands tags as variables. I must give a variable name and then use it.
VTScada asks for address.
I tried to pass the names I have given to variables but, no luck.
Thank you

I am trying to communicate with an SNMP-enabled Ethernet switch. I added a Driver which is connected to a UDP Port, which requires a local and remote port #. Should it be 161 for both? I have imported the MIB file and created a tag, but the driver is not communicating.
Regards
Where can I found a consolidated list of error codes and better descriptions than what is in the help files? Especially for driver errors!

Sync'ing the clock on a PLC with the VTSCada computer time comes up fairly often. Depending on the requirements of the PLC, there are a number of ways to do this. The easiest way for all of them require using a trigger tag in the VTScada application that will trigger at a known time. For now, call this TriggerTimeSync and set an On schedule for 01:01 am and off 2 seconds later with no off schedul

This one came in by email but I thought it was worth adding -
I have a couple of different machines running the same application that need to start up with different pages. Is there a way to do this?
Tank cut-away images are designed to work with the Color Fill widget. Place a cut-away on a tank and then set the color of that cut-away to something that will be unique on the page. Orange is a great choice. Now, place a Color Fill widget on top of the cut-away and set its Changed Color to match the color of the cut-away.
The Color Fill will be visible only where it overlaps the matching co

Is there a way to read a 32 bit modbus value directly into a 32 bit value in VTSCADA? This way we will not need to read a 32 bit value as 2 single 16 bit values and then combine it.
