Hello,
You right, the documentation should be improved.The description that you found in the source is shown on Device Libraries tab of Communicator application.
To send emails automatically you need to install and configure Automatic Control Module
Are emails sent successfully for now?
The new web service allows quickly get trial key http://trial.rapidscada.net/
Hi,
Send me the comuter code by email, and I’ll send you trial keys.
Does that mean, if my Computer crashes and I have to Setup the System new, I have to buy new licenses?
In general, yes. But if you try to set the same network configuration that exists before crash, there is a chance to use the same key.
Hi,
If you mean to display 2 series (trends), yes. In this case you need Chart Pro Component
If you mean something else, please provide the details.
Yes, Rapid SCADA can poll via TCP and UDP as well as via Serial Port.
You just need to configure Rapid SCADA to collect and show data. In case of special needs if not enough standard features, you can develop additional modules.Modbus doesn’t include standardized implementation of events (alarms). But in most cases events are generated by SCADA-Server.
You could start using Modbus, because it is easy. If you realize that it is not enough for you, search for another protocol.
Modbus or BACnet is just an instrument to collect data from devices. If you know what input and output signals are contained by your system, what sensors are required, then you can choose the most cheap and easy to use devices.
As for me, IoT is a beautiful word created for increasing sales. Anyway an automated system physically allows to do a set of measurements and receives a set of commands.
Hi,
SCADAMaster is the other software. We develop and support Rapid SCADA. If you decide to use Rapid SCADA, I can help you 🙂The correct type, for example signalx= 311 (gauge32)
The issue is fixed. Please write me by email to send you an update.
Advantages depend on the user case. Could you describe your specific case to compare Modbus and BACnet?
Task of creating BACnet driver consists of 2 main subtasks:
1. Port BACnet stack to .NET or find the existing one.
As an idea you can use C++/CLI for porting.2. Implement driver logic using Rapid SCADA base classes.
In this subtask I can help to explore the internal structure of Rapid SCADA source code.For home automation the price of harware modules is important. Have you compared the prices of different hardware depending on communication interface and protocols?
C# is similar to C++ and Java. I think it is easy to start coding C# if you know C++ and Java.
I think it would only worth the effort if some additional functionality can be delegated to the device, like alarms or discovery of features etc.
Please provide more details about the idea.
What programming language you use to BACnet implementation? It is possible to see the source code on GitHub or somewhere else?
Raspberry Pi and other Linux systems are very popular. So drivers also should work on RPi under Mono .NET Framework.
It would be great ))
In terms of SCADA, communication with devices is implemented by drivers. In Rapid SCADA driver is .NET assembly, to put it simply, it is DLL written in C#.
I think, first of all you should see Modbus driver implementation on GitHub.Let’s continue our communication.
