Remote commumicator

[Pieter]

Hi.
I have two instances of communicator.
Pc A is running the server and whole application.
Pc B is running communicator connected to server of Pc A.
Pc B has an OPC server with tags inside already attached to the remote communicator.

How to I access tha tags on the remote communicator through the server on Pc A?

[Pieter]

I got it working. I was trying to create different channel on the administrator app.
It should have been the exact same as the remote settings and channel numbers.
I happy now. Loving this software every week more and more.

Hi Pieter,
Can you explain how to connect remote communicator to Server and configure the data variables?.
In remote communicator I´ve puted Server, remote public IP and Port.
But how have I to create and configure a new connection in Local Server?

Thanks.

rsepulve,
it would be clear if you provide screenshots of your settings.

rsepulve,
I am not currently at home to get the information you require. I will only return home mid next week.
I will then take screendumps of my settings and post them.

Hi,
I do not quite understand how this remote communicator connects to the Server of another PC as well.

I have two PCs. Both has Rapid SCADA applications installed, one of them has OPC tags connected to the Rapid SCADA Communicator on it.
For both PC, I have the same setting for the Rapid SCADA Administrator (Same device name, communication line, input channel).

Is it possible to obtain the tags values for the OPC tags on the other computer?
Does it have something to do with the Call number of the device?

If you use remote Communicator, you need the only one Communicator application on a remote PC. Other Rapid SCADA apps should not be installed there.

In other case, if you have 2 Rapid SCADA servers, you can use Rapid Gate module to transfer data.

Dear Pieter and All,
I have two instances
Pc A is running the server and whole application.
Pc B is running communicator connected to server of Pc A.
Pc B is reading data from Modbus devices.
Can you explain in detail screenshot how to connect remote communicator to Server and how to configure a server and communicator?
Thanks a lot

Hello,
In the connection options of the Communicator B you should specify the Server A.
It would be more efficient if you provide screenshots of your settings.

I am still using rapid scada. But I moved all components onto a single server machine back in 2018. I cant even remember what I did, had no notes. Just tried a bunch of stuff and then it came alive.
Its not that easy to get it to work the first time you try it. I will try to setup a test bench and grab some screen dumps of settings, kind of like a tutorial.
Its about time I update my instance of rapid scada aswell

[Mikhail]

In different cases different architectures are convenient.

Excellent, just found the database import update. Been using 5.5.1. Using kepserver to create opc server then rapid scada to get values from plc’s hourly.
Now I can use our historian server and get the same values without the hassle of kepserver.

[Mikhail]

Do you mean DB Import Plus?

[Pieter]

I am not sure about the plus. Device is DB import
O i see now. I am using the build in one. KpDbImport.dll.

What is the difference between the built in one and the plus?
