Hello,
You have to set Multiple command checkbox, if the device manual specifies 0x0F or 0x10 command codes. Element count – number of registers set by a single command.
What is the difference between
They must be the same for a command. Command number binds a template with a sent command.
Further, what “Value” should I send?
Depending on your device. See the device manual.
Hi,
I think, you should grant write rights on C:\SCADA\ScadaWeb\config folder for the user that specified in the wep app log.
Check the following:
– Use SCADA-Server checkbox and Bound checkboxes are set ON in Communicator;
– Input channels have valid signals;
– Database are passed to Server by Administrator app;
– Server and Communicator are restarted after reconfiguring.You should create a new topic on Understanding the Software subforum. There is no RPi specifics.
Install MSSQL Compact from the distributive:
both
SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.msi and
SSCERuntime_x64-ENU.msiI want to utilize the Scada Web service, first should I change the server to the ip of the RPi on which the Scada Server is set or should I leave it as it is ?
If the web app work on another computer than Server, you must set the IP of the server in the web app settings.
Second: Do I need a specific port number or leave it at 10000 ?
Do not mix up the port of web server which is 80 by default and the port of Server app which is 10000 by default. You can change both of them, but you should understand that they are the different things.
I think it’s more generic to port existing desktop apps to Linux because new modules are created regularly, so creating GUI and web version for every new module requires more LoE. Development of a web form usually takes more time than similar desktop form.
The idea is allowing new forms works well on Windows and Linux without additional efforts. But is this possible or not requires verification.I think that such editor should be open source because the core of Rapid SCADA is open source and the open source model is very powerfull. As usually happens in the open source world the development of the required feature could be sponsored to get it in time.
Let’s talk about the quick solution: convert DB to SQLite. This work consists of 2 subtasks:
1. Covert DB itself.
2. Develop a utility that will “pass the configuration database to server app”. It means convert SQLite to *.dat files used by the Rapid SCADA apps.I can send you ER model of DB if you send me email request. It helps you to estimate how difficult to configure the system manually.
Specialized editor allows to choose values for foreign keys, has utility functions such as input channel generator, clone channels, creating channel map those significantly reduce work.
Definitely. The cause is that GUI applications do not work on Linux. As I wrote on GitHub, it is possible to make them work with Mono, but it requires a research.
The current approach is creating a configuration using Windows then upload it on Linux machine. If there is no access to Windows, the existing apps should be ported to Linux or web.
In short, the following things allow you to use Rapid SCADA on Linux without Windows:
– Convert the configuration database to SQLite and develop an editor for it
– Document all the XML configuration filesThe params aren’t documented in it
Yes, but it’s easy to guess and try 🙂
The format is straightforward.How about replacing the Microsoft SQL Server Compact (*.sdf) format with more universal one, like for example sqlite (*.db)?
It is a good and cross-platform alternative. Anyway it’s hard to configure the system by standard DB editor without a specialized GUI editor.
