I am looking into replacing the scada system we have with VTscada but have run into a problem . Some of the addresses on the Omron plc (Modbus) are strings and contain ascii text which needs to be manipulated via the scada Ie Product name. At this stage the tag returns a number not text. Can anyone help me with this.
Hi Guys,
So I have a problem with the register isn't show real value because the data is 64 bit double but vtscada is 32 bit double. I want to pull KWh data to the vtscada.
Have any idea about this?
Thanks guys.

I've created some tag types and instances of them, but when my project loads, I get a "Tag name collision" in the Error Report.
I've checked the help files and it mentions that the duplicate tag will be disabled, but both tags in the tag browser are enabled, and further to that, the names of the tags and the unique IDs are all different. The only thing that is the same is the "declaration key

Complete newbie here and am self teaching myself VTScada and SCADA in general. I am getting a float variable back from the MODBUS expressed in exponential form. I now need to convert this to its actual value that the float represents. Is there a function in VTScada that does this or do I need to write a function to go to binary, decodes the binary and then convert back to decimal.

Hi, is there a recommended way to trigger on-screen keyboard on Windows 10?
I have an application with a Program Spawn button and a path to c:\Windows\System32\osk.exe
The same button on Windows 7 would open the on-screen keyboard but not on Windows 10.
However, if I change it to notepad c:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe, it would work on both Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Thanks

Is it possible to make the droplist widget write to a property of a context tag? I haven't been able to successfully change the properties this way of a Context tag this way. I can always set up a hotbox an operator can right click and edit properties in this way. But the most user friendly/ optimal method for data governance would be this droplist widget.
Another way would be to create

I'd like to be able to allow the operator to disable alarms and adjust alarm priorities from the HMI itself without having to navigate the settings. Are there widgets I can use to accommodate this?

Is there a way to display ASCII charaketers from Siemens S7-300 PLC on VTScada?
Thank you
I am working with a Siemens S7 TIA Portal program and I am trying to pull the part type from the PLC into the VTSCADA system. The issue I am having with the String I\O is I am only getting the DEC form of the tag and not the CHARACTER values. In the PLC in a watch table when I look at the exact tag in DEC I get the value of 2565 but in CHAR I get DB 10 (FW part type). is there something I can do

We are working on reading the data using VTScada REST queries. While working History_TPPvalue tables we are trying to read Average values.

I've added a custom property to my application which I'd like a VTScada I/O & calculation tag to know about. It's in the Application Section, named BarHistLenth, & has a numeric value.
Can't find a valid expression for my I/O & calc tag. Figured I better ask 'cause trying to do something that can't be done takes forever.

Please provide an example of how *this is done.

This help page describes thin client licensing as follows.
If you have a multi-server application and want to allow connections to more than just one server, each must be licensed to allow client connections.

It is common for one of your server keys to allow many thin client connections and the others to have few or none.

I built a Lufkin SAMS controller inside of my VTScada and it automatically built all the TAG's as either Analog Status or Digital Status TAG's (Legacy TAG's) I am trying to set the lowlow / low / high / highhigh limits for the Analog Status points but I found that these types only allow for a Low/High alarm, but in the support document the picture used for this TAG is the Calculations I/O Analog
Hey guys,
We have a decently large application (80k tags) with lots of Flow Computers. We have Low Flow setpoints and Debounce timers settable by operations and just go the Alarm tab on each Analog Status (FC still uses old style tags).
One issue we've noticed is if you change the parent tag type, or have a hard shutdown due to server issues, all these values get wiped out and get set to

Parent Child References are the easiest to map.

i haw installed VTscada 12.1.12 and trying to add a OPC UA Client driver in my tag Browser. but when i selecting this type, the program closes.
is the VTScada light supporting OPC UA Client Driver?
Has anyone found a way to print a full help topic from VTScada's online help? The only workaround I could find is selecting all the text, then copy pasting. If anyone's got something better I'd be excited to learn from you.
https://www.vtscada.com/help/ is not the only website with this issue.
