Desktop.SCADA Online Help

Getting started with Desktop.SCADA

This is a new app under early development, it builds on Desktop.DASH, which is limited to one driver and one "screen", and expands to allow for up to 64 drivers and unlimted screens.  In addition it adds new "gadgets" and video playback amongst other features.

The app may be used for SCADA, HMI, Andon, Digital Signage, Point of Sale, Menu Board type uses, and is quite basic, but entirely simple to use, and importantly, is not cloud connected - you are in complete control with content served from your own local file system.

The un-licensed and fully functional trial version includes 4 driver channels, and these may be configured to use any of the following protocols: -

• Mitsubishi FX Ethernet (FX3 MC, FX5 SLMP, etc)

• Mitsubishi FX Serial (RS-232, RS-485)

• Mitusbishi Alpha2

• MODBUS/TCP Ethernet

• MODBUS/RTU Serial

More help to follow, but for right now, here are a couple of video links (which might be the format going forward, as they are getting easier to create!);
