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

Hello Team,
We are working on reading the data using VTScada REST queries. While working History_TPPvalue tables we are trying to read Average values. While comparing the result in the Tag browser we found that the values are not the same. I have attached the screenshot for Historical Data Viewer and also the txt file with the REST query and its response. Could you
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.

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.
This help page describes thin client licensing as follows.
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
I would like to use the selector switch tag type as it has built in feedback alarms and the switch widgets. However, the components I am using will pulse the command to its state.

Parent Child References are the easiest to map. However, I am exploring the possibility that the hierarchy for an application might require references to properties in an adjacent tag in the hierarchy.

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.

In June of 2022, Microsoft released an update which by default harden DCOM connectivity to OPCDA and OPCHDA servers. I am aware that this can be disabled, but that option will no longer function in March of 2023.
Does the latest version of VT SCADA support the new DCOM Hardening for remote OPC DA Connections to the VT SCADA Real Time server?
