    Hi there,

    So I’m monitoring multiple modbus devices using the rapidscada and its working great. We also have 3rd party software which we use to configure or trouble shoot the devices but its not web based.
    If i try to use both softwares at the same time to monitor a unit and receive an error and the get poor data in each. i think the device refuses multiple read requests from two different sources if requesting at the same time.

    What I’d like to do is use the rapidscada until an issue arises, then log into the the device directly using the 3rd party software but to do so I need to stop the communicator requesting from that device.

    ideally I’d like to create a button on the web portal which will pause monitoring of a certain device or communication line, another to resume monitoring. Is this possible ? Or something similar?

    Hi,
    It’s possible, but it may be changed in the future versions.
    You can create special files to start/stop communication lines in C:\SCADA\ScadaComm\Cmd

    Command files examples: https://yadi.sk/d/MDH-CrFW3PnjTh

    Also see SaveCmd function.

    Some of TPC devices support multiple connections, some not.

    You can try writing command files from a function specified in the configuration database.

    I can create such formula for you for a fee.
