I suggest to upgrade to the version 6.

I’m afraid it’s not possible without extensive work and testing. These are production servers and I understand migration to v6 isn’t straightforward, especially in the case of remote SCADA’s connected to the central server.

We need to keep v5 as the production version for the time being.

Besides this, what aspects related these issues does v6 solve? Or is it more of a support issue?

or create separate projects and then merge into the main project in order to hide other client’s configuration.

How is this carried out? Haven’t even thought this was possible. The different projects reside in the central server?

Do remote users connect to their local and the main servers?

Indeed yes. For our and our clients’ OT networks security and efficiency on the use of bandwidth and machine resources, our remote Scada machines are mostly intended for data collecion and transmission to the central server. In fact in most of our architectures, these remote Scadas are located within an OT infrastructure, behind segregated VLAN’s and isolated from TI infrastructure (safe from the VPN tunnels that connect RapidGates and the central server). Users cannot access these remote machines, which are mostly Raspberry Linux servers without WebStation or interface hosting and connected to cloud server via limited bandwidth available on the field (3G or even microwave links).

[Sergei]

Thanks. It worked ok with 0x10 (Multiple). Tried this yesterday although didn’t know why Single didn’t work.

Thanks for replying.

[Sergei]

Yes. You need:
1. Create an output channel.
2. Specify this channel in a scheme or a table view.
3. Configure a command in your Modbus template.

The available Command values are just binary/discrete (On/Off, Arm/Disarm, Run/Stop). How do I send a float value to the device?
Do I have to set a formula to write to the Modbus device using an output channel?

Using the Communicator Command window and the interface both reset the register to zero (a pulse-driven flow-meter counter that needs to be manually synchronized to a physical value in the field), but no one actually write the desired value to the register.

As a side note, I tried a modbus utility and the value is correctly written.

[Sergei]

Which pdf manual? Is it the same as the online documentation available today? (as of 2021.07.28)

[Sergei]

Update:

Got this error dialogue after trying to ‘Save’ the options in the RapidGate settings GUI.

Also, please note that after enabling HTTPS in IIS, https://localhost will not work (and should not) because the SSL certificate is for the public domain name and most probably doesn’t include the localhost domain.

[Sergei]

Please note the web.config file in ScadaWeb\plugins\Scheme also needs to be edited for HTTPS to work corectly. Else the schemes cannot be grabbed by the plugin. (The console -F12- shows “404 not found” errors)

[Sergei]

We have solved the issue.

At first we followed the procedure for installation of the module and then activating it, uploading the config and then restarting the server and Administrator.

The problem was the module was blocked by Windows Server (WS2012R2) and we had to “Unblock” it from the .dll file Properties dialogue.

After that was done, there was no indication the module was running because the config had to be uploaded again to the Scada server.

After that was done, we got the module to write to the log file, return the computer ID and running as expected.

Just to note: We tried this procedure in a new machine with Windows Server 2019 and it worked too, but in this case the ModAutoControl.dll file wasn’t blocked by the OS and the procedure was more straightforward.

[Sergei]

I have scanned the ScadaServerSvc.log file and found no indication whatsoever of a problem. There’s also no mention to the ModAutoControl module in it.

¿Could this be a permissions or a .NET runtime lib issue?

[Sergei]

I’m afraid this didn’t work. The ModAutoControl.log file is empty.

Just to note I had to “Unblock” the module’s DLL (Win Server 2012 R2) to allow the module to be activated, but even after that the ‘Computer code’ text box appears grayed out.

I have tried Deactivating and re-Activating the module several times (restarting server service and even rebooting the machine), to no avail.
