    Hi Mikhail,

    Is there a way to auytomatically restart a communication line in case a given tag is read to a certain value (trigger on a value) ?
    I mean maybe it is possible with the Automatic Control Module ?
    What would be the command to send to restart the communication line.
    What is the command that is been sent when doing it manually from the Administrator application ?

    Many thanks for your help !

    Hi,
    In version 6 you can send a command to restart a line.
    Supported commands are here.
    Command value is a line number to restart.

    Create a channel of the Output type and set Tag Code to the above.

    Many thanks, that is working very well !

    And do you how I could use this “command Channel” from an OPCUA client, since I use OPCUA server capabilities on RapisSCADA 6 ?
    The problem is that in RapisSCADA’s OPCUA server I only get the communicator lines tags, not the database channels.

    I would need to create some sort of a “dummy” tag in the communicator, associate it to the output channel that sends the reset command and update this tag from OPCUA client when I need this reset command to be sent.

    Do you know if it’s possible to do that ?

    Best regards !

    Do you mean that you need to restart a line by another OPC UA client?
    If so, you need a channel that can be changed by the client, and use Automatic Control Module to send a command depending on that channel.

    Yes

    If so, you need a channel that can be changed by the client

    How to create such a channel that appers in RapidScada’s OPCUA server’s tag list ?
    Till now, I can only see tags configured in the communicator devices on the OPCCUA server.

    use Automatic Control Module to send a command

    Is it the only way to send commands ?

    The OPC UA server that is built in Communicator cannot send commands to the application. You should look for another way of sending commands to Rapid SCADA. May be, via a database or 3rd party OPC server.

    Ok, I’ll check that later on ..

    nyway, the automatic ctrl module did the job in it’s trial version so maybe it’s worth considering buying it.

    Best regards !
