Is it possible to run a report (or create a custom report) to display the current value of multiple tags all as a single row at a common timestamp that is based off of a trigger or specific tags timestamp (rather than at an hourly or other timeframe snapshot specific time)?

I frequently get requests from users to set up reports or historical data exports to allow them to track and save multip

So I'm a bit out of my element here- we're moving to VTScada and I need to get all of our existing tags and alarms added to this new system.

As it stands, all I have to work with is the PLC's IP address, port number, unit ID, and a whole lot of named datapoints and alarms with modbus addresses. This has seemed like more than enough, but I'm seeing a LOT of options here and I'm clueless on wha

I want to animate a pie. My plan is to stack a white circle, then a yellow pie for power, then a small white pie, and another small colored pie on top of that so I can see how the generator speed is layered on top of the power output.

However, I don't see how to bind these things to the pie shape.

Or is there a way to color the arc meters in the gauges?

Sheet metal fabrication is a key process in industries like automotive, electronics, construction, and machinery. It involves cutting, bending, and assembling flat metal sheets into usable products or components. But with the rise of automation and new materials, how is this traditional process evolving?

I am looking for someone who is willing to share an application with scripting examples, with the values being passed from multiple tags to the script and out of the script to multiple tags. I have looked on help files but this is not clearly defined, or am I missing something? Tried something like Scope(VTSDB, "FullTagName"\Value but it is not passing and processing the values.

Hi,

I've spend a little too much time on trying to figure out how to derive "Comms Loss" alarm from my Driver/Port settings using VT. I can see the value changes from 0 - Healthy to some other values when disconnected.

However, I couldn't figure out how to derive a simple "Comms Loss" tags from the system.

Any Advice would be welcome.

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to bulk generate/edit tags, and got stuck here.

It seems for every new tag, vtscada generates its own custom hash ?

I tried to use python to generate some random string, but faced error as shown in picture.


Tag name found that doesn't match tag file hash



What is tag file hash, how to generate it.

Attempting to connect to HiveMQ Cloud MQTT Broker which requires TLS. I've connected to other MQTT brokers that didn't require TLS with no issues. I've created an MQTT Client Driver and created a TCP/IP Port child. None of the TLS settings were successful so I download a pem file from HiveMQ, converted it to a crt file using OpenSSL and imported it to my PC but it does not appear in the list o

Hello, I am new to using VTSCADA but have experience with SCADA software in the past. For our application, we would like to utilize VTSCADA to create data driven maintenance packages utilizing Maximo to create Work Orders.

An example of this application is:

Hi all,

I'm implementing alarms in VTScada at a water treatment plant, but I'm facing some problems. I want to set up alarms to occur at certain threshold values and notify operators via email. But I'm not certain on how to correctly implement alarm priorities and ensure proper notification is being sent.

Here are my queries:

Hi All,

I am having an issue with a daily report that i have configured.

My understanding is that a daily report is a sum of the values accumulated for a each of a selected set of tags within the time period you specify.

Very simple i have four tags which values change approx. 4 times a day, in theory these values should be added together and displayed as a 'Daily Total'... Right?

Need to enroll my users using SCADA to Entra Office 365, this creates a new profile at computer. Will users settings and licenses work afterwards? Same computer. SCADA was installed locally and will be on our network which creates a new profile for user.
