Hello, the PLC my VTSCada system talks to sends out a digital status heartbeat (boolean) alternating true/false with a period of 20 seconds.

I would like to configure VTScada to monitor this signal so that the user is notified when the PLC goes down or communications is lost.

I've read through the alarm configuration section of the manual and devised this scheme involving two alarm ta

Hello, thank you in advance for any support.

I am developing my first application, a demo system for a small municipality. The first page I am working on is for a little pump station with two pumps and a reservoir with level sensor.

Things are progressing reasonably well but I am having a few problems:


I'd like some text below my pump icon to say either "hand" or "auto" depending o

Programming question:

I'm using an Analog output (VTS Datatype) writing to a PLC DINT by way of a "Numeric Input" on the page to allow user to enter a passcode (EQU in PLC) to permit the action of a selector switch, right below the numeric input box.

When you enter the correct number, "it is retained in the VTS tag browser" and will work okay. But I need a way to clear it out after a minu

Hello friends, I have a serious problem. VTS does not open on the server. I have two servers, one is a backup of the other, VTS only starts if the network cables are disconnected, clicking on RUN locks in 50% in the final step "Starting tags". Does anyone know how to solve?

I need to find the highest value of all tags named DataAge under a Context Tag PC regardless of context depth.

I am working with a Siemens S7 TIA Portal program and I am trying to pull the part type from the PLC into the VTSCADA system. The issue I am having with the String I\O is I am only getting the DEC form of the tag and not the CHARACTER values. In the PLC in a watch table when I look at the exact tag in DEC I get the value of 2565 but in CHAR I get DB 10 (FW part type). is there something I can do

I am trying to map an I/O tag to an Emerson FB107 but can not figure out the address assist Logical Number. It does not seem to match up with the TLP number.

I'd like to setup an alarm to go off when a specified windows service is not running.

Is this going to be compatible

If you seem to have lost your VIC graphics after accepting Windows build 1903, we are looking into it. As a workaround, stop the VIC. Open Internet Explorer and clear the cache.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Trihedral, right click on the VTSX.exe and run it as administrator - even if you are an administrator.

Log in and run it once. Close it. You should be able to run it normally from your

I am working with an Omron Cj2H. Programmed analog inputs and reading into a DM. Positive values are performing okay, but as soon as I go slightly negative ( reverse flow), then the number jumps to 65535. This is telling me it is wrapping around. I have tried using negative values in the scaling, but have not been successful at this point.
I can watch the channel in the plc and it remains nega

I am having an issue connecting to a ControlLogix PLC. See attached pictures about the backplane configuration and the current error on VTS. Any ideas? I can provide any further information as needed.

Lastly, using a C-More touchscreen, and I can access the main CPU through 10.133.64.31, backplane port 0, easily.

I am building a plant from scratch. The plant has different types of equipment and all I can see in VTScada are various pumps, valves, and motors. Has anyone built or have access to bar screens, conveyor belts, weir gates, or anything else that might be useful?

Thanks in advance!

Dear all,
we already configure all tag in current plant with Modbus Serial Port,
is there any easiest way to convert this project to Modbus TCP Port, so we don't have to re link all the tag?

I'll be bringing up a replacement server for one that got a hit by lightening and I need to know the trick for getting VTscada to only poll the serial modbus connections from the active server in a redundant server config.

In the Modbus driver is there a way to reverse the Bit Order? I know we can rearrange bytes for Ints and Floats, is there a simple way to reverse the bit order?

Good Day Support Team,

Few months ago i built an application running with ModBus communication. On the laptop i made it, it works like a charm.

Then i've installed VTScada on another laptop, and import the project that was on my persoanl laptop on this new one.

i set up the fixed IP address as suppose to be, but i have no communication at all. I can PING the IP of the PLC, so it means

Hello, I am evaluating VTScada for our facility and am working with the scadalight. I have not worked with Omron Plcs in many years and need some information.
My plc has some levels which are stored in a data area (ie D0700). The PLC resides on our network (ie 192.168.10.20). From the program, I do know they set the port to 2120 instead of the default 9600. I am not sure which settings to use

I can successfully pull up the data into Excel using ODBC connection. The SQL statement like

select * from Alarms;

is working perfectly fine. The issue is when I use 'where' statement, I get an error. The following command is giving an error.

select * from Alarms where Active = 1;

OR

select * from Alarms where 'Active' = 1;

OR

select * from Alarms where Active = '1';

Hello,
I'm using VTScada Light for a POC (proof of concept) in my customer. The application works well for a fell minutes, but after this it lose the communication and doens't update the registers values. Is there anything to do to solve this problem?
