The customer will purchase the paid version of VTScada. He will need to access the factory supervisor (a specific sector) remotely, but it will not be done via an Ethernet cable, so as not to run the risk of being on Wi-Fi and others, so it will be via Modbus RTU. I need some help on how to do this procedure and for it to work through VTScada.

Hi,support
As shown in the figure below:
Variable A01 is a type and below it there are 10 variables, and I want to store the history of these 10 variables in different VTScada's history databases

Are there any 2 benefits to doing so?

1.Users can set the retention time of the database data according to their needs, for example,
HistorisanA is retained for 1 year,

Hi,Support
In order for VTScada to store data for 2 or 3 years, I need to expand the capacity of user's computer's hard drive, and I need to use RAID,
We will provide 3 ways: RAID0 or RAID1 or RAID10,
Allow users to choose one of the three RAID modes,

Can these three RAID modes store VTScada historical data normally?

Thank you

Greetings,
I, as most people, am working to create an RTU that utilizes the MQTT communications protocol. Right now I am testing with a local broker and have data reliably getting to VTScada.
However, I need the ability to write data back to a certain topic with a certain metric. The ability seems to exist, yet I have not had any luck with VTScada publishing the message correctly yet.

Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to using VTScada and I am looking for some advice on how to set up alarms efficiently. I understand that alarms are crucial for monitoring and alerting us to critical conditions but I want to make sure I am configuring them in the best possible way to avoid unnecessary noise and ensure quick response to actual issues.

Here are a few specific questions I hav

I've been using VTScada for a while now but one thing I cannot get to work is colourising Indicators.

All I want to do is have an indicator that in OFF state from a digital status tag is one colour and that in ON state from the same tag is green or yellow or red.

When I try to colourise and link the tag to any of the indicators all I get is grey when OFF and white when ON.

I'm clearly

How do I read this address from VTScada? I've tried all the Data Suffixes for Tag I/O Addressing but it didn't work. Below is the address "30001" in ModScan and its temperature reading. I've tried "30001/Float" but it didn't work.

I also tried to do it through BuffOrder but I didn't understand correctly how to set it.


Regarding the "Coils" they are working perfectly.

I was wondering if anyone has or knows of a comprehensive list of all the variables, constants, and parameters available for use when building custom tags that incorporate automatic inheritance, etc.

I’ve come across a few that are detailed in the help files, such as:

\Value
\DisplayAddress
Here’s the link I’ve found so far: file:///C:/VTScada_12_0_42/VTSHelp/Conte

I have purchased VTScada License and not used it for till the Support Plus date is expired.

I tried to install the VTScada software with the license key available, it gives me a error "You need to renew your license to install this version of the application."

How can I know what version will be supported to the license?
what is the solution for this?

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has built a data table drag and drop widget. Looking to create a drag and drop table that functions like Excel spreadsheet (e.g., filter, sort, search on column headings). Connect cell data to tags for population or manual input. We are currenly building a table however the process is very manual (e.g., need to rescale everytime a column is added etc.).

I'm attempting to create a "tabbed child window" on a page where selecting a different "tab" changes the content of the "child window". There are a lot of built-in examples (e.g. refer to image of Equipment->Station All Outputs below), but I'm unsure how to modify or recreate the widget for my own use.

Please advise, and thank you.

Hello:
Very new user here.

I'm looking at a very small test system. Mainly looking to do some trending. Not looking for redundancy, etc.

I create an application on my laptop. What's the path to move that to a "working" computer? Can I export the application from my laptop to a USB stick, then install on the target?

thanks

What is the "intent" of a plot versus the HDV? Where would I use one and not the other?

Looks like plots are single pen?

I want to create a trend with several variables that always looks the same when it opens ... same scaling, time range. My first thought was a plot, or series of plots (because the HDV is a new concept to me) but maybe there is a better way?

thanks

Hello,

I have 2 apps running on the same VAM. I'd like to merge these apps together keeping all data. What's the best way to do this? I believe a changeset would work but I would like confirmation or ideas on other ways. Not much info on this specific topic in the reference guides.

------Edit----- I see that a changeset will not work in this case based off "create a changeset" section.

Hi Everyone,

I’m a student at a German Uni working on a project with VT Scada. I’m curious to know how one can check/know how much data is being logged and stored in VT Scada.I’ve read the user manual and watched multiple videos, however I’m yet to find the solution. I would really be appreciative for any guidance.

Thank you.

I'm trying to communicate between the Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100 and VTScada.

I did the following procedures:


I created a Context TAG with the name of my PLC;
Then, within the Context TAG, I created another TCP/IP tag;
In the TCP/IP TAG I entered the Address of my PLC and the Port: 44818;
Within the TCP/IP TAG, I created the Driver TAG and selected the Rockwell Allen Bradley Devices D
