Hello,

The new features sounds useful. Could you provide links to the screenshots in this topic?

[Mikhail]

Please provide screenshots and logs.

[Mikhail]

Hi,

Usually when controller is not available, the Communicator app sets data to undefined. If you provide screenshots of the settings and data, we could provide additional thoughts about that.

[Mikhail]

Hello,

In version 5, you should set communication channel type to Undefined.
To get values from JSON, you should use JavaScript as described here.

Hi,

DB export module works with current data, historical data and events.
If you need to export the configuration database:
1. If PostgreSQL is used, export can be done by few clicks from Administrator.
2. For other databases, export tables to CSV using Administrator. Then import CSV to database by some external tools (example).

[Mikhail]

Hello,
To make logs available remotely you should install Communicator and Agent on the remote machine. Agent interacts with the Administrator app.
A separate instance should be created in the project.

IE is too old and deprecated. IE was removed in Windows 11.
Dashboard plugin creates a frame element on a web page. So the tasks are:
1. Make video run by URL in a new Chrome tab.
2. Make video run in a frame.

What is displayed if you simply copy video URL in Chrome tab?
Check the camera manual. Some cameras can provide video on its webpage and RTSP. What protocols are supported by your camera?

[Mikhail]

Hello,

To set the Undefined status, write NaN
For example, setValue(0, NaN)
In JS usually for...of is used, not for…in. Link.

[Mikhail]

Hi,

Scripts in the configuration database don’t support sending commands. Automatic Control Module is needed for this purpose.

[Mikhail]

TLS is supported. There is a checkbox for that.
Currently, there are no settings to specify particular certificates.
When TLS is enabled, may be the driver uses certificates from some location. I didn’t research.

Communicator sends data to the data sources, specified in its configuration. Data sources are implemented as drivers. There are Server, MQTT and OPC UA data sources. It’s possible to develop any other data source.

I wrote about a feature of setting a timestamp in JSON package to write historical data. Historical data would be sent to the data sources specified in Communicator.

Hello,

Can we see the communication device on Linux Version?

Could you clarify the question?

[Mikhail]

The driver works with current data. If you mean that the Timestamp field in JSON specifies historical data (in the past), the driver should be modernized.

[Mikhail]

Hello,

1. Probably, support of certificates hasn’t been implemented yet by MQTT client communication channel.

2. Please check this example. The JS file should be located in the Communicator configuration directory in the project. You should enable JS and specify the file and subitems in the Advanced Parameters of the subscription.

I/O pins are available for SCADA if the PLC provides some standard communication bus. It can be built-in MQTT broker or OPC UA server. In short, likely I/O will be available, but indirectly.

I wrote that in general, related to Pigeon RB700. For Raspberry, I suggest to try the driver developed by @manjey73

[Mikhail]

Hello,

How do you think about my solution?

In general, it’s OK. However, Raspberry has limited temperature range, and requires reliable power supply.

How will I configure communicators and Agents?

Technical support can answer particular questions. In short, Communicators should refer to the main server’s IP. May be Agents need to work using reverse connection to the main Agent.
If needed, we provide online training to learn how to configure Rapid SCADA.
Also, I recommend Extended support, because distributed systems are more complex comparing with local systems.
