Could you please assist me with an analog tag. I want to use the slider control to change the value of an analog input tag , this analog input tag is connected to a tank widget to give level indication.

I got it to work more than a year ago, but for some reason, it stopped working.

Im using a Click Koyo PLC and modbus addressing.The drivers are working as all the digital inputs responds.

I am trying to calculate flow rate as a function of change of wet well level over time. I have tried using various tags types, adaptations of Ex 3-17 from the Adv Config Workbook, Intgr and Deriv functions; and everything comes up with some kind of errant data: Intgr gave max scale value, Deriv gave 0. Using the following provided the most realistic results:

So the system I’m currently working on is already providing me scaled data coming out of the flow computer. This is also in conjunction to the scaling of the raw data at the PLC level for my other analog instruments.

What is the best way to make sure I’m setting up my analog status tags properly so I’m getting the right historical data recording and displaying my data prope

We cannot seem to get Alarm notifications to work with Office365. The smpt server is supposed to be smtp.office365.com, I'm told, but when we have this as the SMPT address using port 587 and TLS encryption we get the following error: "SendMail Error [9]: Server doesn't support authentication"

We do get alarm notifications if SMPT settings as follows: Email Server: {company}-com.mail.protectio

We are working on setting up HMIs (10 pack) for our local control panels; dual servers are setup with application, screens, and tags (designated with areas). We have looked at the tag area filtering literature, but are apparently lacking something on server/HMI architecture as we do not have all the options in "Workstation" and "Section" options in properties.

Is there a best practice for se

Hi, Is there a way to edit a Type property from the VT HMI? Some users will not have access to the Tag Browser but may be required to change IP address which is set up as a property of the Site Type. I tried several methods to set up a Linked Tag Widget but have been unsuccessful.

I'm thinking that I may have to script it somehow but want to know if I'm missing something before I go down that

I am trying to integrate in a counter and some automated resets. The plant is currently changing the times of shifts a lot and I would like to allow them to configure on the fly. Is there a way I can change the trigger tag using parameterization? If so I cannot find any information on the exact syntax or how to do so.

Here is my situation:

My current application has both my sewer lift stations and water towers in one application.

My water plant operators need to see only the water towers and hear alarms for them. But my sewer lift stations create an almost continuous stream of alarms. This had led them to mute the entire system.

Question:

Is there a simple way to turn of alarm sounds for my s

I'm new to VT Scada, Scada in general.
We are currently migrating off a older machine that is using a PCI Dialogic for a voice modem.

Our new machine only has PCI express slots so I'm looking for a replacement that fits the new machine whether it be PCIe or USB.
We only have 1 phone line strictly for alerts.
I saw that US Robotics and others like TP-Link list in there specs that they

I am trying find a gauge widget that will do the following.

Accept input from an Analog Status Tag that produces values from -100 to 100.
Has a zero centered dial which rotates to the left of center for negative values and to the right of center for positive values.
I originally thought this would be easy, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Any help would be appreciated,

Pat

Just downloaded the software and thought I had an easy project to start with. Took awhile to grasp the Tag hierarchy but think I have it.
My problem is this: Trying to setup VT to read from a Modbus TCP slave. I have tested the slave communication with a small Modbus TCP app, running on the same PC as the VT app and it works fine.

The ModBus TCP communication parameters are:

Is it possible to show an analog status tag in a gridlist cell? Would it display the alarms and engineering units?

In the titles parameter how would you Display Multi-line text

Do you have any examples?

Hello everyone,

I'm a beginner with raspberry pi and also to Python language. I'm trying to use the raspberry pi 3 for industrial application and for that I've connected quite a few sensors (temperature, humidity, co2 etc.) I'm successfully able to get reading from the individual sensors and wrote a structured program with few functions related to each sensors to get reading from all the sens
