Now all supported security mode with user and password works! Thank you.

Thank you too!

I found Mqtt client driver much reliable now and I can expose it as OPC UA directly. I have to say RS6 so great!

@Mikhail Can you confirm RS6 OADate in UTC date and time now?

[Mikhail]

Timestamps in historical and event archives in UTC.
If you write timestamp as a channel value, it may depend.

[kumajaya]

RS5 channel parse my local datetime (in OADate format) as is but RS6 parse it as UTC datetime.

I managed to install RS6 on Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB with a few adaptions since dotnet installed in /opt/dotnet and RS6 in /opt/scada6 since RS5 in /opt/scada. A great job @Mikhail ?

Thank you 🙂

Test on channel deadband
Limits are 10,20,30,40 and deadband is 2
Init value as 25.5, increase value by +1 until 50.5; then decrese value by -1 until 0.5; then increase value by +1 until 25.5.

Event detected as follow:

High, 30.5 °C
Extremely high, 40.5 °C
High, 39.5 °C
Normal, 27.5 °C
Low, 19.5 °C
Extremely low, 9.5 °C
Low, 10.5 °C
Normal, 22.5 °C

the deadband seems only work on the bounds of normal/high and low/normal, but not high/extremely high nor low/extremely low.

then testing value flicking round 30, only 1 event of high as expected. but when testing value value flicking round 40, many high/extremely high events.

for multiple status, I think it would be better if the deadband works for all bounds, as the following picture.

May I know how can we set the deadband?

[Mikhail]

Thank you JW, will check.

[Mikhail]

May I know how can we set the deadband?

In the channel limit properties (version 6).

@Mikhail Since we can use communicator as a gateway now, any plan to add additional tag conversion (ie: raw to engineer value) for Modbus driver? For Mqtt, we can use javascript to manipulate payload data.

[Mikhail]

Currently, there is no such plan. We should think may be it’s possible to add this feature in the future versions. Thank you.

[kumajaya]

Any plan for a new beta update?
