Hello all,

I'm new to OpenSCADA and to the SCADA field in general. I apologize in advance if any of my questions reveal stunning levels of ignorance.

I just installed OpenSCADA on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine. I can start it successfully, and can create an MMS controller that connects to my MMS device on port 102. However, I'm not sure what the next step is. What kind of parameters or input is the MMS controller expecting to receive information from the MMS device or send commands to it? I've tried setting up parameters under the controller with the device's logical name, with LLN0 and LPHD, and various variable names, but my device keeps saying it's getting invalid input. What should I be doing to read, say, a variable at the device's LLN0.Health.stVal?

Thanks in advance.

You do not need for think up any variables since if the device accessible by the strict MMS, all allowed variables will be allowed to select into the field "Variable append".
About stricting the MMS implementing you may see into the ToDo:
- write an own MMS implementation, mostly for the mode without sessions on ABB-800, complete replacing libiec60850;

I realize that the MMS implementation is incomplete, but I'm trying to get what there is working.

Right now I have an emulated test device running on localhost:102. When I start OpenSCADA and create a controller for localhost:102, I get a status of 10: Running, no activity data. I know that I need to create another node under that controller to see the "variable append" field, but whenever I try to add that node it just creates a bunch of errors, and the "Append Variables" field stays blank. What should I be calling that parameter node to have it connect to my MMS device?

I have not now any device working on this protocol to test and fix anything, that is why the protocol documentation is not wrote also. And I do not fix such sort user-specific problems in free, only through the commercial service.
But at the last works with ABB-800 it completely worked!
