Is there a way to read a 32 bit modbus value directly into a 32 bit value in VTSCADA? This way we will not need to read a 32 bit value as 2 single 16 bit values and then combine it.

Are there any plans to allow tags names to be modified from the tag window instead of forcing us to browse for them?
This is a question that comes up more and more so our own Dave Spencer created this quick and easy video tutorial.
This video was created for VTScada version 11.2 in 2016-10.

Instructions can also be found in the VTScada Help System.

Is the latest version of VTscada, 11.2. Siemens S7 driver compatible with the S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLCs?
The driver list pdf on the website did not specifically list those models and I was curious.
Thanks,
JP
From a customer: Can multi-monitor layouts be configured separately for different users?
From a customer: How easy is it to find specific tag types when creating tags?
As of 2017-02-10, only the following tag types count against your license:
AnalogControl
AnalogInput
AnalogOutput
AnalogStatus
DigitalControl
DigitalInput
DigitalOutput
DigitalStatus
Pump
RateOfChangeTag
SelectorSwitch
StringIO
The licensed tag count is the sum of all licensed tags in running VTScada applications.
Have questions about your tag count? f
Is historical data logging enabled by default?
Question from a customer: I wanted to double check on this configuration for the type of application that the software will be placed into.
The City will have a VTScada installation at their WWTP, and the WTP. The sites are about 2 miles apart and will only be connected through the Internet. We were planning to have two separate applications installed at each site, but allow the WTP staff t
Question: I have a set of oil batteries, each of which has a standard set of values representing the pump and tank information. I would like to represent this information in a summary table with one row of data for each battery. We area adding new batteries on an ongoing bases and would like the table to be automatically updated with data from these new batteries.
Question from a customer - i.e. Site1 has 2 booster pumps and site2 only has 1, however my tree has the possibility for handling up to 4. Would disabling the two unused booster pumps tags in these instances count towards the used tag count?
Here is a question I fielded recently:
"How can we prevent SCADA operators from accessing the Windows® Operation System of a PC running a VTScada application?"
Can one push data to REST APIs provided by cloud based machine learning/big data analytics platforms? Do you provide a REST API so one can push to your system. I am currently using http://infiniteautomation.com/ and combination of MEAN (MangoDB, Express, AngularJS, NodeJS based solution to capture low throughput data from battery operated devices on a mesh network.
Is there internal tags for Login and log out to design my own login screen

Is it possible to integrate a CCTV picture image into the application?
Can web pages be integrated similar to an HTML IFRAME?
What is the scripting language based on: VB, C#. etc.?
Can you acknowledge alarms from each client or only on server?
If I need to have multiple devices in one single app, would each Comm port be a separate device? I am asking about "Realms."
If an application is developed on VTScadaLIGHT and we need to develop more I/O than 50 could we run it on the paid version directly and add more I/O?
Question submitted by a VTScada Certified Solution Provider
While discussing some remote access solutions, a question arose about how VTSCADA handles version differences. The specific example we were discussing dealt with an integrator remotely logging into a network and then making changes to an application hosted on a remote machine using the integrator laptop, and then pushing those chang
We have discussed running VTScadaLIGHT with alternate devices, not standard computer/server, like a NUC devise. What say you?
What is the relation between the real I/O and tags? Are they the same?
What I/O board or device are you using with VTScadaLIGHT? I need a low cost analog and digital in with digital out. Also, what PC are you using with the I/O?
Thank you,
Brian
What is the lowest cost computer you have successfully run VTScadaLIGHT on and what model PC is it?
Thank you,
Brian
The VTScada graphics library is located in VTScada\VTS\Bitmaps. The use of the term Bitmaps is a holdover from many years ago and no longer represents the actual makeup of the graphics library, which includes approximately 3000 WMF (vector), 1000 BMP (nonvector), 4600 PNG (nonvector) and 3000 SVG (vector). Some of these files are in more than one format. The development team noted this is because
Yesterday, a customer asked the best way to create a reusable set of bitwise reads for a packed PLC integer register. This is best done by creating a tag structure with a Context Tag as the parent. Create a parameter for the Context Tag called something like "BaseRegister" but leave it's value blank. Create the preferred Digital Status tags for each bitwise read as its children and set the Addres
Question - How does the new Activation affect my SI developer key? I currently have a few different versions of VTScada installed on my computer for use in development with different customers. I assume this won’t affect versions before 11.2.25, but what about going forward? Will I be able to install multiple versions of VTScada after 11.2.25? I like to work on their applications in the ver
