Call number length limitation

[BretLark]

Hi Mikhail,

I’ve finally got around to working on my installation again since our training but I’ve found a small problem with the Call number field. It supports a maximum of 20 characters but I have a full IP address and port length of 21 characters in the format of: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx

Is it possible to change this in the software? I’ve also forgotten how to map signals to channel numbers but I may be able to copy this from the existing records.

Many thanks in advance,

Bret

Hi Bret,

The field length issue shall be fixed. But it tooks a time.
Are all of your devices have the same port?
In this case you can set “Remote TCP Port” of communication channel properties in SCADA-Communicator and omit port in SCADA-Administrator.

Every input channel has a Signal. Signal is an ID of a tag in SCADA-Communicator.

The complexity of increasing the field length is that the database structure becomes incompatible with the previous version. I’d prefer to include a fix in the next major version of Rapid SCADA, if a workaround exists.

Hi Mikhail,

That’s fine I can wait for the next release. I have shortened my port numbers for now so I am starting at 9501 instead of 10501.

I’m struggling to create channels and map signals at the moment as when I add new sites I’m messing up the values for the existing. I think another training session may be required just to cover that part.

Many thanks,
Bret

Hi Bret,

It is great that you have an option to change ports.
If a training is required, write me using skype or email to adjust a time.
