    You are requesting the same when the communication is OK and when it’s broken.
    It means that something wrong with a simulator application. May be some settings of the simulator were changed, e.g. device address.

    active and bound option again in request sequence, while it is already taken in line parameter.

    Unchecking Active disables a whole communication line or a device.
    If Bound is true the data from a communication line or from a device are sent to the SCADA-Server. Unchecking Bound of a communication line is the same as unchecking this parameter of each device.

    significance of timeout and delay

    Timeout is the time while you are waiting for the responce from your device.
    Delay is the delay after receiving data before the next request.
    They should be set experimentally to provide stable communication.

    delay after request cycle

    Additional delay after requesting all the devices of the communication line.

    Hello,
    For now Rapid SCADA works as OPC client, not as OPC server.
    May be you can use DB, such as MySQL, for the integration purpose?

    Hi,

    Yes. HTTPS is supported and configured by IIS. You should read about using certificates in the Internet.

    To enable HTTPS in Rapid SCADA, find all the web.config files in C:\SCADA\ScadaWeb and look for the commented blocks by the word “https”. You should uncomment them.

    Hi,

    Read this thread.

    The new version of the web app is under construction: http://forum.rapidscada.org/?topic=new-web-app-idea/#post-1281

    This article helps you to connect to OPC server.
    I recommend to test KpGS828.dll from the driver pack too. If it works, it’s preferable than OPC because of reliability.

    English version of the driver pack will be released when it includes more than 1 driver useful for the wide range of countries. Thanks to Washu Hakubi about the notice about ASCII encoding of readme.txt

    May be you should ask a manufacturer whether GSX4-MS is able to communicate with a PC using Modbus protocol as a Modbus gate (example). In this case you can use Modbus register map which should be included in a manual of the sensors.

    This is not Modbus, unfortunately. It looks very similar to the protocol used by GS828 logger. Try using the driver pack. Then translate readme.txt and install it.
    You don’t need to configure a template, just configure polling.

    Do you need inputs and outputs of GSX4-MS? If not, it overfunctional and complex for your task for my opinion. Ethernet-RS-485 converter like this one is enough.

    Try using Chrome of Firefox.
    The standard Android browser may be outdated. I will add browser validation and displaying message whether a browser is not supported.

    Hello,

    Does GSX4-MS use Modbus protocol to communicate with PC and work as a gate between your devices and server? First of all, you need to realize what kind of protocol (over TCP) is used for interacting with GSX4-MS.

    If it uses Modbus, you should configure Rapid SCADA as described in the article http://rapidscada.org/connecting-devices-using-modbus-protocol/

    Write here if you think that the web app behaves weird or unexpected ))

    1. I think the logo and the title Rapid SCADA are enough. May be copyright will be in the about page. I’m not sure, should I write “copyright” for the open source software or not.

    2. As shown in the screenshot above.

    3. Information about the user. May be there will be user rights info. It is not implemented for now.

    4. It uses .NET 4+.
    .NET 5 is not widely supported by hosting providers.
    I think it will work on Apache + mod_mono, but test this configuration please.

    Try it on your PC, phones, etc., please. If there are some bugs, let me know. It is a good time to fix them.
    P.S. IE is not supported. Chrome, Firefox and Edge are OK 🙂

    Something wrong with the image.
    It requires changes in SCADA-Server logic. The changes may be done within a common queue of tasks or may be done fast for a fee.

    As a workaround, limits can be implemented using formulas, but in this case you need separate channels for alarm signalling.

    Do limits are set for those channels?
