If we found a sponsor, we can implement uploading a project from Administrator to PostgreSQL database.
In my opinion, SQLite is not enough, because remote access is quite useful in many cases.

[Mikhail]

Yes it is, see v5.1.4.2
Server update for testing.
The command queue is in the Server service.

Thanks for the useful notes. Some comments below.

I then went through Administrator on windows and changed all localhost settings to now look at the remote server eg. 192.168.1.10

Could you provide a screenshot of this to check?

This is most likely a config issue but I had to re transfer all the plugins to the Rpi opt/scada/ folder

DLLs of the modules should be presented on RPi. WinSCP is good for file transfer.

To activate the ChartPro plugin, I had to go chmod ug+rw WebSettings.xml

This is a known issue. We will fix it in the future.

Please open the properties of KpEmail.dll and check the version. What is the file version?

Also try specifying a particular email:
test@gmail.com; Subj; Text

Hi,
You can’t send a command from a formula. However, you can set input channel value from a formula.
To send commands according to conditions, Automatic Control Module was created.

[Mikhail]

Currently to export data on change, use the existing DB export module.
The version 5 can only export data to 3rd party DB. Flexible archives possible in v6.

[Mikhail]

Output channel only declares a command. It doesn’t send command itself, and it doesn’t store any value.
To display any kind of value, you need an input channel which stores a value.

[Mikhail]

Hi,

If you need to send commands automatically according to some conditions, Automatic Control Module would help you.

[Mikhail]

I hope till the end of 2021. But it is not exactly.

Hi,

Led can blink if you bind it to input channel. You should create a formula that changes input channel value every second, for example.

Something like

public double Blink()
{
  return DateTime.UtcNow.Second % 2 > 0 ? 1 : 0;
}

Then use this formula in the input channel row.

[Mikhail]

Hi,

Do you use Modbus protocol?
If yes, you should create a command in the Modbus template. Then check the command by sending commands from Communicator.
Output channel is also needed. Please provide screenshots.

[Mikhail]

– Can you show to user when data was last updated?
Yes, using a custom formula plus extra input channel.

– If we use Chart Pro plugin can we have pie charts or some other charts?
No. May be you should integrate with Grafana. There is a plugin available.

– And can we have multiple variables on 1 graph?
Yes, you need Chart Pro.

– If we use Automatic control module can we send custom email for different alarms?
Definitely.

– Or is this possible without plugins?
I think, no.

– Is it possible to trigger alarm and send email if we lose communication with one of devices?
Yes. You can trigger on channel status = 0 and/or events.

For more details, please start new topic for a particular question.

[Mikhail]

As you said you have your custom format for saving data and you don’t use DB. Can you tell how much would it cost if you would add option that data is saved to archive just on change?

Please wait for version 6 for this feature.

If I understand each object means like a “factory” or “part of factory”. Is it possible to see big is archive for each object?

Archive size depends on number of input channels and saving period. You can collect data for 1 day and then divide by channel count.

[Mikhail]

Hi,

Enter a title in the Interface table in the Title column.

[Mikhail]

Please try the update
At least it writes more info in communication line log in case of incorrect data.
