Build Rapid SCADA on ARM64 Windows Machine

[CCKOH]

Hi Mikhail,

I’m currently building Rapid SCADA on ARM64 WM Windows 11 and have successfully run ScadaAgent, ScadaServer, and ScadaComm on the ARM64 WM. However, I have been unable to run ScadaWeb and ScadaSchemeEditor. I understand that ScadaWeb might not be able to operate on ARM64 architecture due to ANCM not currently supporting ARM64 natively.

My current issue is that I cannot run ScadaSchemeEditor. When I double-click on ScadaSchemeEditor.exe, there is no response. I cannot find any logs in the ScadaSchemeEditor folder, and I’ve checked the Event Viewer, but it also does not display any logs.

I am attaching a comparison between the Rapid SCADA Distribution Packages and my own rebuild package (https://ibb.co/B5BzXptN) for your reference. For your information, I couldn’t find Log.dll, ScadaData.dll, ScadaSchemeCommon.dll, ScadaSchemeEditor.exe.conf, Svg.dll, and the Web folder from the v6 source code. I have copied all the unavailable files to my rebuild package. I’ve also ensured that the Windows Desktop runtimes and WCF Services are installed. Do you have any ideas on what steps I could take to successfully run ScadaSchemeEditor?

This is probably because the Schema Editor is based on NET Framework 4.7.2 and not on NET Standard. As far as I understand, ARM does not support NET Framework 4

This is one of the reasons for creating the new Mimic Scheme Editor.

Hi Manjey,
I’m also suspect is due .Net Framework 4.7.2 As far I know, Microsoft haven’t release any runtime for .Net Framework 4.X

I’m currently running Scheme Editor via emulation on ARM64 and it is working. It so cool Rapid SCADA can run on my Tablet now 🙂

In addition, do you have any idea to setup Mimic? When i try to run it on ScadaAdmin, it just launch to web browser listen to localhost: 10008, however nothing is show up. I’m guess is i’m not done anything configuration.

Video

I didn’t find it in English. There’s a video showing how to connect the Mimic Editor. In theory, if you create a new project, everything should be spelled out, but check it just in case. I don’t know if you have access to the video. It’s in Russian.

Hi,
Does the Administrator app work on ARM64?
You should wait for the new Mimic Editor, or use the beta version. Check the YouTube video that shows how to activate it. It is a plugin for the web application.

To make the web application work, check if IIS available on the tablet.

Hi Mikhail & Manjey,

Thank for the video link. It really look interesting, nice and add in lot of feature on the Mimic Editor.

The tablet is running Windows 11 and IIS is available. Do we need to do any configuration or setting on the IIS in order to run Mimic Editor?

FYI, so far on my testing, the Administrator app work well on the ARM64 machine.

hi Mikhail,
I’m fail to run Mimic Editor on both ARM64 and X64 Windows Machine OS: Win11.

PlgMimic show error Description: Error creating plugin interface PlgMimic of type Scada.Web.Plugins.PlgMimic.View.PlgMimicView from file C:\Program Files\SCADA\ScadaAdmin\Lib\PlgMimic.View.dll: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

When i’m click on the NewFiles.mim under View, it open to the web browser (http://localhost:10008/MimicEditor/MimicOpen?fileName=C%3A%5CUsers%5Ccckoh%5CDocuments%5CScada+Project%5CHelloWorld%5CViews%5CNewFile.mim) with error msg: localhost refuse to connect.

For this Mimic Editor to run, it also need to install web hosting bundle with ASP.net Core Module V2? currently ANCM not natively support to ARM architecture.

hi Mikhail,

Just an update, Mimic Editor is able to run on X64 Windows Machine. ARM64 Windows Machine fail to run I guess might due to ANCM not yet supported to ARM64 achitecture.

Hi,
Thank you for the info.
If you open http://localhost on the ARM64 Windows machine, what do you get?

[CCKOH]

Hi Mikhail,

When I open http://localhost on my ARM64 windows machine, the Windows Internet Information Services landing pages is loaded on the Web browser.

What does this mean? FYI, I’m don’t know how to configure on Windows IIS. Or this is the reason why I’m fail to load mimic scheme on ARM64 WM?

[Mikhail]

Hi,
I suppose, it should be possible to configure.
Could you check if AspNetCoreModuleV2 exists?
