Hello,
I have replied hereHello,
Using formulas you can perform calculations but can’t send a command. There is another tool for sending commands depending on conditions: Automatic Control Module.Automatic Control Module is commercial, the cost is US $20. You can try it for free in the test mode.
If the price is too high, it is possible to develop your own implementation as described here.Modbus, OPC and AT commands are commonly used worldwide.
VKT-4M, etc. are specific for Russian customers, therefore they were excluded from the installation package to keep the product clear.A Modbus element which is read from a device has Signal field. SCADA-Communicator receives data from a device and retrieves an input channal number using Device number and Signal, then SCADA-Communicator passed data to SCADA-Server.
A Modbus element which is written to a device has Command number field. When you send a command, you use a specified output channel, so SCADA-Communicator chooses the appropriate command by Device number and Command number which are defined in the output channel.
Hello,
It is strange. My configuration database contains only 11..14 channels.
I think you can delete 1..4 channels.Hello Teleco,
1. Number is internal. It is needed for associating different information with a command.
2. Command number is sent to SCADA-Communicator when you send a command. It is processed by device driver. For example, you can bind Modbus command to a specified command number from the configuation database. Comamand number field is similar to Signal field.
3. If Command values field in Output channels table is not set you can directly input a value of command. If it is set the value of command is an index of the selected list value. Often you need to convert value according to device specification using formula of output channel.
1. To simulate “ADAM-6015 Server room” do not modify anything in Rapid SCADA configuration. Just tune up the simulator according to KpModbus_Adam6015.xml template. 101 is internal channel number for Rapid SCADA. In Modbus terms t4 is an element with address 5 from Holding Registers (4x) data table.
2. Calculated Real type is set for a channel if its formula refers to data of other channels. Use Real type if channel data is received from a device.
3. Signal binds an input channel to a tag of device. This field is processed by SCADA-Communicator.
4. The items t4_min, t4_max, t5_min, t5_max display data and allow sending commands. Each item of table view can hold either input or output channel. Channel numbers are written in item’s hint. Commands are sent manually in this example.
I’ve tried the same as you did.
Call numbers localhost and computer name don’t work, because of wrong IP address format.Call number 127.0.0.1 is OK:
2015-02-01 21:57:56 Communication session with Device 11 “ADAM-6015 Server room”, type: KpModbus, call number: 127.0.0.1
Establish a TCP connection with 127.0.0.1During testing I uncheck “Use SCADA-Server” checkbox in SCADA-Communicator. If you do not uncheck it the call number specified in the configuration database is used.
Try 127.0.0.1 again. If it doesn’t work post a part of log here.
Switch to Communication Line log tab.
Read the log carefully, usually it contains information about the cause.
Firstly, realize is the connection established or not.The error is concerned with a security reason. Scheme is displayed by the silverlight application which can’t connect to WCF service.
Try to open SCADA-Web using different URLs:
http://localhost/scada
http://127.0.0.1/scada
http://YourComputerName/scadaDoes it solve the problem?
The system works exactly as you described. It is not a bug. The goal of the passwords in SCADA-Server shell and SCADA-Communicator shell is let a user think for a few seconds before sending data or command.
It is proposed that the user who has administrative rights on a server required to start SCADA-Server and SCADA-Communicator is accepted to control SCADA.Of course you can add new users and modify the existing.
Try to do a one modification and if the system works strangely post a question to Understanding section with description of changes and symptoms.Could you make a separate topic about WCF service error?
Dear Teleco,
Probably you didn’t modify status of sent data using Generator. Set status >= 1 to display the value in SCADA-Web.
Anyway you are able to control sent value and status directly in the archive files those can be opened by SCADA-Server.
SCADA-Communicator “doesn’t know” about values sent by Generator. It dispays error if no connection with device has been established.
