    Dear Mr. Mikhail,
    where can I download the previous version of Rapid SCADA? for example, if I want to download the 6.1.1 linux version.

    Hello,
    Old versions are not published. I suggest to upgrade to the latest version.
    If you need to move the software to another server without any changes, copy files and use this instruction.

    *** Is there any documentation for Rapid SCADA v.6.1?

    It seems like there are changes to the way that device-“Channels” are assoicated with communication line entities.

    No matter how many times I defined (and re-defined) “channel” information, it would never retrive the channel data from the communicator module.

    …finally discovered that the “join” between the “channel” definition is the matching “tag code” in the communicator module.

    Thanks for including the “Simulator” objects in the default project template.

    That ulitimately allowed me to compare every subtle difference in “my” device-channel definitions to the working “simulator” equivalents.

    ** Where is the “Server” application in SCADA v.6.1?

    How can one manipulate the historical data in a similar fashion to the previous Rapid SCADA versions?

    Thanks as always Mikhail.

    ** Also for v.6.1 beta there seems to be no “Save” button when editing the objects in the Scada “Administrator” application

    It seems like one must hit the “Close” (X) Window button and then a prompt for “Save Changes Yes/No” appears and one can then choose “Save”.

    ******************
    Woops, I see that is in the far upper-left of the main “Administrator” Application Window.

    Right.

    > How can one manipulate the historical data in a similar fashion to the previous Rapid SCADA versions?
    Rapid SCADA 6 supports different storages, so archives can be viewed in the web interface (reports) and ScadaTestClient-v6.zip

    > there seems to be no “Save” button when editing the objects in the Scada “Administrator” application
    It’s not changed.

    Thanks Mikhail.

    For the “Server” functionality question, I was not referring ro READing the historial data, but EDITING the existing minute/hourly data as available in the older “server” stand-alone application.

    I believe that you were formerly using MS SQL Server Express for the database?

    It’s nice that there are now different storage-engine options in v 6.1.

    ** Where are the selections for various “storage engines” selected and configured?

    In the “Communicator”/Line Oprions/Device Polling/Properties/Element Group/Element configuration, it appears that the element “Tag Codes” cannot contain the underscore “_” character?

    The dash “-” seems to work OK.

    If an uderscore is used in a “Tag Code”, the device “Elements” do not properly register as a “Channel”.

    Is that correct?

    Thanks.

    Sorry for all of my recent questions on Rapid SCADA beta 6.1

    The current documentation for installing plugins (in my case Dashboard and Chart Pro) is not up to date for v.6.1.

    I tried the recommended procedure for installing optional plugins referenced at:

    https://rapidscada.net/docs/en/5.8/installation-and-run/module-installation#plugins

    but it appears that this document is no longer accurate for v.6.1.

    In version 6.1, how do I install these license-required modules?

    If I use the existing procedure (even changing the referenced “C:\SCADA” to “C:\Program Files\SCADA”), when I open the “Administrator” application in v.6.1 and go to Instances/Default/Server/Modules, I do not see any new “Unused” modules which were unzippped with their directory hierarchy preserved from the “unzip” process).

    Thanks for the assistance.

    …when preserving the directory hierarchy during unzipping, the v.6.1.2 compatible dlls are not being placed into the C:\Program Files\SCADA\ScadaServer\Mod directory.

    The zip file content is only pointing to the …/ScadAdmin, …/ScadWeb, and … Views directories.

    To manually write data to archives, use the ScadaTestClient utility.

    Please write questions of different areas in different topics having corresponding titles. Otherwise it’s too difficult to reply.
