So trying to read values out of an INT table from a PLC5. The positive values all read fine but if we try to read a negative integer value we get the wrong data in VT, usually a value of 6553. To get around this we just did a MOV from INT to a FLT and it reads fine again.
What would be the limitation of reading negative integer values?
The VTScada Red Bell can be turned off on the server, but the VIC clients and Anywhere Clients are still showing it. How do you get the same behavior out of the clients that you do from the server?
I turned off "Show Alarm Indicators" in the application configuration / Title Bar Contents. And it is gone from the Server but not the clients.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I created an additional Alarms Page using an Alarm List widget, and it allows me to filter the System Event DB out, but that pesky Alarm Icon at the Title Bar is glowing and offers to take a User straight to the Original Alarms Page where they have access to see all of the System Events.
Any way to stop that on one front or the other?
I have even used SecurityCheck to give Developers visi
I'm just testing some comms on the bench here for a customer. I can set up the DF1 tags fine and get good comms and data when set to TCP/IP, but when I try to switch it over to the serial comms I get an error code 16 Illegal Command or Format. I can see on my SerialPort tag I don't have any errors so it must be something in my DF1 driver tag I'm missing.
Thanks!
Need to send an alarm acknowledgement over MQTT, is there a way that I can read the status of an alarm to send; or can I look at the canned ack button and send after that has been pressed? I just need something to trigger a write message.
What IP cameras are supported and can VTscada support PTZ on any of them.

I am using VtScada-Light and have a few days of data stored.
Everything works great - it is a really nice product.
How can I move the Historical Database to a different larger drive?
Thank you
When using a Zoom modem for alarm dial-out, I am getting a SAPI Error: 0x8004530A when attempting to call out. I have downloaded the correct driver from Zoom, checked the registry settings, set my area code and run the diagnostics on the modem (every was normal). Any thoughts?
Solved - We had the modem installed on a rack mount server running Server 2019 with no sound card.
Dear Sir,
our client want to pool data from VTScada server,
the VTScada already have OPC server license,
they want to pool data from another computer,
is there any tutorial / guide?
we already try to read the documentation, but still not understand,
where we create the Opcserver tags? is it below the driver / port tags?
for example server and client user windows 7, whats sh
Trying to input an analog value in a numeric entry box with 1 decimal place and publish over MQTT. Everything works fine but if the data entry is done wrong (entering a .xx value) the publish fails on the receiving PLC end. I limit the numeric entry box to 1 decimal and it displays properly in the the box (enter a number xx.xx and only xx.x rounded up is shown), but in the MQTT world as soon as E
Hi,
I've an opportunity to install a new SCADA system, but prior to quote the job, I wanted to test if it's working.
I've a RX3I CPU331 and I've installed (latest VTScada version 12.02 on a Windows 2019 server. I add the GE Driver configured has shown in the picture with the default port founded in the help file. I add 1 analog points %R606 which is a level moving in the PLC, but i don't
I am trying to check Modbus communication using Simulation.
But values are not updating during Simulation (version 12) on my laptop(Windows 10, i5, 12GB RAM).
IP address series also kept same. i.e. 192.168.1.100(laptop) and 192.168.1.104 (TCP port Connection)
If I keep IP address as 127.0.0.1 as shown in Tutorial videos, then simulation works and values are updated for Modbus.

I'm trying to use Analog Statistics on a calculated tag. The minimum and maximum values for yesterday are always the same. The calculated tag is combining a low and high register value for flow pulses. You can see the direct reading of the low register tag (2nd pic) shows yesterdays minimum and maximum values correctly. I also attached the calculation tag and expression I used. Why do the statis

I am working on integrating some backend ERP database information into some of the views we have setup. In working to get a query to operate I have a number of where clause items but it appears there is a length limit on the number of characters for the query. Is this configurable and can I make that a longer value? Thanks,
Hello,
I've begun using VTScadaLIGHT and I've run into some trouble. I started logging some data and I noticed after a few days that my timestamp is off. Turns out the system's clock was set for the wrong time zone.
I changed it (pacific time to eastern time) and now the Historical Data Viewer is misbehaving...for all tags. When I resume the live view, the far right side is lined u

I am in need of help establishing comms to a PLC via the GESRTP driver. I have added a driver to the main area and added children to it as shown in the attached pic. Can anyone tell me what value 26 means in the driver value? If I unplug the PLC the value changes to 2. Also another issue I have is what control do I need to turn on/off bits within the PLC? I have added a toggle switch widget
Is it possible for VTScada to automatically display a page from the value of a tag?
dear sir

I configured an ethernet port and CIP driver for a CompactLogix PLC. When I create a new tag of type "I/O and Calculations" the tag browser option does not appear on the Read Address field.
I ran a Driver communications summary report and the % average Quality was 68.8 and average response time is 0.002 which I would assume would mean I am communicating with the PLC.
Any idea why I can't
I already created the tags for my PLC in VTScada. I am trying to pull the digital status of a device in my system. First I was using Y memory bit, the digital status can be pulled correctly, I can see a value 1 shown on the Tag when that device was on. The Y memory bit address and function code are attached.
Then, I changed the Y memory to C memory bit, the device is still working well.
