How to make double or more of Rapid SCADA server and communicator pair.

[chlcjs2]

Hello.

I’m learning SCADA via Rapid SCADA.

I successfully installed and setup first pair of Rapid SCADA instance.

my laptop server and pi communcator is communicate real time.

I want to make double pair on same laptop for other pi.

but I can’t found any way for make double.

I understood there is a way, that is 1 profile having 2 communicator line.

but this case SCADA Web displaying same view and communicator data is mixing in database, because we are using same Server.

I want to seprate between old one and new one.
If I possible, I want to make double SCADA system on same machine.

so,
I want to know these.

1.
I were using ‘default profile’.
If I add new profile, is it work sepratly on same Server?
How to setup?

2.
Could I install and setup multiple ScadaServer seperate by port on same machine ?
if it can be, how to it?
what files need for copy?

please let me some advise.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi,

If you want to create 2 different systems, you should create 2 projects in Administrator.
If you want to create a 1 distributed system, you should create several profiles within a 1 project.

All profiles use the same configuration database that is included in the project.

Could I install and setup multiple ScadaServer seperate by port on same machine ?

On Linux:
You can copy Rapid SCADA to different folders like
/opt/scada1/
/opt/scada2/
But during installation you need to change installation script to create daemons having different names.
Files to update:
apache/scada.conf
daemons/scadaagent
daemons/scadacomm
daemons/scadaserver
scadarestart.sh
scadastart.sh
scadastop.sh
svc_install.sh
svc_uninstall.sh
ScadaAgent/*.sh
ScadaComm/*.sh
ScadaServer/*.sh

Honestly, I don’t think it’s a good idea for beginning.

May be it’s easier to use virtual machines. For example, you don’t install several PostgreSQL servers on a one machine even if it’s technically possible.

Why do you need 2 copies of Rapid SCADA on the same machine?
