We use Google Drive to house information of various lift stations utilizing a program spawn widget. Here's the breakdown of that program spawn...
This is just a shortened down version of what's included in that box for program spawn properties. There are 64 lift stations, so the list below is definitely longer. I created a folder for LS71 because at the time we did not have a dedicated folder
Just wondering if anyone has had any luck using VTScada to connect to the BRX Controllers from Automation Direct. I love the PLCs but I am only successful with MODBUS comms which are limited to specific registers. I create my own User Data Types (UDT's) that are mappable to EIP Locations to which you can use Ethernet Explicit Messaging to. I am very unfamiliar with getting the communications to

Analog Input Tags, Analog Status Tags, Digital Input, Digital Status, etc are all considered legacy type tags according to the VTScada Help files. It is advised to use I/O and Calculations Tag instead. Why ? Is there anything wrong with using legacy tags ? What are the main differences from legacy tags to i/o & calculation tags ?
I am a complete beginner with VTScada Light, and I am looking to connect a bluetooth device and display data using this software. The device I am using is a combustible gas sensor. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I thought this would be simple but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I want to create a two color bar where the bar is green in normal and the entire bar turns red after the setpoint (not just the area above the setpoint). For example, a tank level 0 to 100% and high setpoint is 80%. In normal, the bar is green. When the level hits 80%, I want the entire bar to turn red not just the area
Good morning,
I just installed this wonderful SCADA, and following the help, I can not make a connection using MODBUS TCP/IP... something I am not doing well.

I have entered string entries in my IO calculation tags.
I want to show the indicator as a green label when the written value from the VTScada to RTU gets written successfully.
As shown in the pic above, When this string value gets written successfully into the RTU from SCADA, I want to show the indicator as Green.
How can I do that? Please guide me.

I've been playing around with VTScadaLight for a few days now, wanting to learn more and more about VTScada. I can not seem to find where PMC1001 originates from ? I know it's a serial connection, a child of the Local TCP Port. I am hoping someone knows where to find PMC1001
Hello all,
I want to read the Module IP address and show that in screen under each Module Image. All I got is TCPIP port's status value but not IP address.
How can I read the IP address from the TCP port and show that in the screen for the concerned module.
Note: Do not want to add manually. It will be customizable and may be changed in future. So as per change should also reflect in

I am running the micro800 simulator on Allen Bradley's CCW software. It appears that you support micro800 PLC's using the Symbolic CIP driver, however when I try to use the AB CIP driver demo downloaded from your site, the connection blinks green and does not stay on. I have the simulator running on CCW with a basic start/stop logic. Please let me know if there is something specific that I need t

What is the correct syntax for an IO tag address to read data with the SQL Data Driver when the column name in the source data base has a '\' in it?
I'm attempting to read data from one VTScada application to another, and haven't been able to get the proper syntax for a successful query. The query when viewed in the trace viewer is always cut off after the first '\'.

Dear Sir
I want calculation in analog Tag, if
some conditional expressions is true.
how i can write script ?
Different tcl script example: set Sum variable

} else { set A 0

if {[GETVAL B_N(5)]==1} then { set B [GETVAL Bv6]
} else { set B 0
