1. You can authenticate users of Active Directory (AD). In this case you don’t need to add users by SCADA-Administrator. It is easy to administrate and more secure. In AD the following global security groups have to be created:
ScadaApp
ScadaAdmin
ScadaDispatcher
ScadaGuest
ScadaDisabled

If a domain user is a member of the security group, he can login Rapid SCADA.
Domain controller is a server where AD operates.

Email:
Address and Call number are empty. Open the device properies in Communicator to configure connection with mail server.

SNMP:
Host (IP address) is Call number field. Port is also Call number, e.g. 127.0.0.1:161. Port is optional.
Open the device properties in Communicator and you will see all other SNMP-specific properties.

You don’t need any programming for localization.

Search for *.en-GB.xml files into C:\SCADA folder. You should create similar files for Italian.

Then open SCADA-Administrator -> Settings -> Language and type your culture name.

Visual Studio 2013 or higher. Community Edition is OK.

In the current version you should create 3 (or more) calculated input channels for hours, minutes and seconds.
In the next major version there will be time output format.

What’s the difference between demo mode, home and business for automatic control module? The demo mode is enough?

For now the difference between home and business licenses is the price only.
Demo mode allows to try the module, you need to restart SCADA-Server after 10 minutes of work otherwise commands stop to be sent.

If the software is installed at work you have to purchase the business license.

You may be interesting in localization Rapid SCADA into Italian language. In this case just create a new topic and I’ll describe how to do it. It is easy.

For sending SMS you need a GSM modem that supports AT command set, e.g. Cinterion MC55i http://www.smsco.it/tomcat/en/modem/cinterion_mc55i.jsp

The steps of configuring are:
1. Create an object, a communication line and a device (GSM modem) in the configuration database using SCADA-Administrator.
2. Import the above data into SCADA-Communicator and make sure that the connection with the modem is established.
3. Configure user interface.

In case of configuring email notifications there is no physical devices, but you should also add a device of type Email into the configuration database.

Please ask for details during the process of configuration.

There is an article detailed describes how to add devices to the system: http://rapidscada.org/connecting-devices-using-modbus-protocol/
In the article a Modbus device is added, but the ideas are the same.

The general sequence of configuring:
1. Configure sending emails and SMS in manual mode.
2. Download Automatic Control Module, install it and add appropriate triggers.

I would like to let know the software here in Italy

That’s nice news 🙂

New version of web user interface is under active development. Definitely, it will be released in 2016.

Most likely you would update the whole SCADA-Communicator when KpSnmp update become ready.

Where are you need to display time?

[Mikhail]

It is for Raspberry Pi only. Use command line.
Please start a new topic with you question about configuring in Understanding the Software subforum, please.

[Mikhail]

The formula is

CnlStat==0||CnlStat==5?1:0

You must use one of the Calculated type of an input channel.

OctetStrings are shown in Communicator in the new version of KpSnmp but they can’t be passed to SCADA-Server because SCADA-Server works with number values.
