Hello,

I am trying to pull more tags from a P2-550 CPU from AutomationDirect. I looked through the PLC Program on productivity to see the data that VTScada should be pulling. However, it seems to be only pulling two tags from the CPU and not the rest. The tags show a value of 0 but should be showing numbers. I tried accessing Modbus Poll to see what would be the problem, but Modbus Poll isn't

Hello,

Does anyone have a working example of a basic page using a gridlist function?

The example in the help documentation does not work when copy and pasted into my code, and I have been the extra things to get it working but in the end the Gridlist is not pulling the example list of Data[#][#] or Title[#] information past the first inputs.

Is there something I am missing?

Are there any rules/algorithm for scaling in VTScada to adjust the values from the PLC to the real values?
At the moment we are getting some values but we have to adjust them to the Output we want to have... Can we do that by scaling is there another possible solution?

Thanks four your expertise and help!

I am using a gauge widget and HDV for trending a tag from a modbus device.
The scan interval is set for 60 seconds, i want to keep the last read value until the next read in order not to have gaps in the HDV trend line. I am using the following settings:


Despite those settings i am still getting gaps in the graphics.
I have tried to use the "Hold" option in the SERIAL tab, bu

Hello,

I am trying to make a historian for the company I work at and they are using a P2-550 cpu for their PLC. I was wondering the best way to connect to this to log information in the system historian and cannot find out a way to solve this problem. I know the IP Address for the PLC. I am just confused on how to get tags from the PLC to log them into the Historian here on VTScada. Any help

Wondering if anyone has managed to setup VTS within a Docker container or similar.

Ultimately, my goal is to be able to run multiple versions of VT simultaneously. As an integrator I have some apps on 12.1.19, others running 12.0.56 and then a few others that I support. I would improve my efficiency if I can be working on different projects at the same time without having to shutdown one ins

Complete newbie here and am self teaching myself VTScada and SCADA in general. I am getting a float variable back from the MODBUS expressed in exponential form. I now need to convert this to its actual value that the float represents. Is there a function in VTScada that does this or do I need to write a function to go to binary, decodes the binary and then convert back to decimal.
