Hi,

C:\SCADA\ScadaComm\Log also contains lineXXX.log.bak, where you can find the previous part of the log. But this is also a part of log, not full.

May be we should add the option to set the log file sizes.

Please provide a screenshot with device settings for gmail.
I don’t think that timeout really make sense.

Hi,

Other approach is creating your own formula (in the Formulas table) like this

public double CalcSwitch(int counterCnlNum)
{
  if (Val() <= 0 && Cnl > 0 && CnlStat > 0)
  {
    SetVal(counterCnlNum, Val(counterCnlNum) + 1);
  }
  return Cnl;
}

Use this formula in the channel 114: CalcSwitch(115)
where 115 is the channel for counting, its type is Calculated real.
Note: I don’t test formulas on the forum. May be you need to fix it.

Hi,

Try the following:
The new channel of the Switching counter type should have a formula Val(114)
Its Signal field is not set.

If the above doesn’t help, please provide a link to the screenshot of the Input channels table.

Hi,

A channel of the Switching counter type increases by 1 when the channel changes from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 0.
You should check it using the Generator feature when Communicator is stopped. Please write here about the result.

[Mikhail]

Take into account that
CnlStat – the status that was just received from Communicator
Stat(N) – the current status of an input channel before receiving new status

Hello,

Main Menu > Deploy > Upload Configuration
And the similar button with a small green arrow on the toolbar.

Since Rapid SCADA 5.7.0 we store the configuration database in XML as a part of a project. *.dat files are used in runtime.

Where can i find and/or change the version number?

Usually in the about page. Version number of what application?

Also is it possible to acces the db like a sql datebase or?
Is the baseDat the only thing i have?

You can read the files like written here , get data from Server by TCP and use REST API.

Hi,

if (CnlStat > 0) …

Hi,

Can we use formula to calculate the elapsed time for the channel being in in True State?

How many times a day a channel may change?
The simplest approach is:
1. Create an input channel of Minute real type.
2. Use a formula Val(101) > 0 ? Val() + 1 : Val()
where 101 is the source channel that can be 0 or 1
The formula is calculated every minute for this type of channel.

But this approach is not accurate.

can we use formulas to make a digital counter so that we can calculate how many times channel changed from state to another state for example False to True?

Just choose Switching counter type of the input channel. And it will count.

Configured the aliases in OPC server. Now I have access to them from communicator service and it is now working. I didn´t know that the use of aliases was needed.

That’s good! Thank you for sharing the cure recipe. OPC is a black box.

[Mikhail]

Hi,

Stop the Communicator service, and use the Generator feature the collect more information how the formula works. The expected and actual results, you need, are not clear.
