The graphics group frames of the main elements library of the user interface appended for the graphic parameter calculation
The element implements a dialog of user calculation of the selected graph parameter for the graphically visible data. The user is given an option to select calculations from the built-in library, the privileged user ("root" or in the "ITW" group) has the opportunity to edit or write their own calculation procedure.
In general, the built-in library currently contains the following functions of the user calculation:
- Sum, at hour.
- Average and range.
Completion of revision of the virtual-demo projects
All virtual-demo projects and their libraries were completed in whole revision of their documentation and database files, for: two styles-themes support, removing Cyrillic symbols from identifiers, unification the identifiers and fixing most texts.[more]
On 18...21 April 2019 in the city Lviv (Ukraine): The International Research and Practice Conference "FOSS Lviv"
The International Research and Practice Conference “FOSS Lviv” took place in Ivan Franko National University of Lviv on April, 18 – 21.[more]
API of the unified implementation of the DAQ-templates
API of the unified implementation of the DAQ-templates has been implemented, applied and substantially tested.
Currently, this API is applied on the primary modules of the subsystem "Data acquisition", that is LogicLev, ModBus, Siemens, and as an optional feature for the controller object of the JavaLikeCalc module. From modules of other subsystems to the templates support, the protocol modules UserProtocol, ModBus and the graphical interface module WebUser have been adapted. Moreover, the use of templates in the modules UserProtocol and WebUser conceptually improved their functions and expanded the ability to create complex templates.[more]
On 15 September 2018 in city Kyiv (Ukraine): The conference of developers and users of the free software — FOSS 2018: "OpenSCADA 0.9 LTS"
On the conference, the project author, leader and main developer Roman Savochenko read the report-announce of 0.9 LTS version of the project OpenSCADA.
The conference site is: osdn.org.ua
The new stable version is the result of six years of development, implementation of various solutions, stabilization and exploitation of OpenSCADA in its Work branch. But all this time, updates for 0.8.0 LTS continued to be released and what would happen for the announced 0.9 LTS.
The main purpose of the release is to provide an updated and stable platform for building integrated automation systems and other adjacent solutions for the community of users and developers of the free software. Also, the release is intended to become an actual and solid foundation for commercial solutions building.[more]
Release OpenSCADA 0.9 LTS !!!
The release of OpenSCADA, an open SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system, version 0.9 is a stable industrial release of the long-term support (LTS).
The main purpose of the release is to provide an updated and stable platform for building integrated automation systems and other adjacent solutions for the community of users and developers of the free software. Also, the release is intended to become an actual and solid foundation for commercial solutions building.
Currently, 0.9 LTS is announced as a stable version, and 1 Work as a working version.
01.07.2018: Building of the Linux packages expanded by: Debian 9 ARMHF, Ubuntu 18.04 and SuSE 15.
05.07.2018: Signing of the binary packages and the repositories expanded by: signing RPM-repositories, signing individual RPM and DEB packages.
10.07.2018: Live disks improved and fixed for: sub-menu of other languages, switching keyboard layouts of the other languages, Debian 9 for AMD APU and VirtualBox.[more]
Update 20 (the last) to the production release of OpenSCADA 0.8 LTS
The update 0.8.20 (06.06.2018) to the production release of long term support (LTS) targets to upgrade present installations of the production version for fix known for now problems and expand its to some improvements with operative services updates providing here for signed to the technical support service users.
Support is finished!
This update is the last one which mostly means as a transitional one for updating to 0.9 LTS!
Generically the update have fixed about 30 bugs and have appended some improvements...[more]
Releasing OpenSCADA 0.9 LTS
OpenSCADA project is under releasing version 0.9 LTS from February (2) month.
Currently, the release announce has already done (22.04) and the process turned to the release finishing stage which seems will being done yet month and finished in May (5) -> June (6) month.
There are already done next significant and generic documents for their expanding, full revision and translation:
- Quick start;
- FAQ;
- most of the How to ... documents.
Completed full revision of the most significant and largest document "Program manual"
The document "Program manual" is the most significant and largest document of OpenSCADA and it was completed for its full revision on the new Knowledge Base (Wiki) of OpenSCADA. At the way the document was translated to Ukrainian and appended by the part "Startup and execution".
That is the releasing of the OpenSCADA version 0.9 LTS is also official started, the schedule-task of the process was prepared and it completion planned to 01.05.2018.
OpenSCADA projects integration to the OpenSCADA core and UI.QTStarter
To unify and expand the functionality, and "openscada_start" script exploitation experience, the essence of the project was integrated into the OpenSCADA core and the module UI.QTStarter of the local graphical interfaces execution. Therefore, the OpenSCADA core, namely the primary "openscada" binary file, involves determining the configuration file, the data folder and the name by the specified project name and switching to that configuration. Creating the interface elements for selecting and creating new projects implements the UI.QTStarter local graphical interface module. Administrative functions of the project manager are moved to a separate command line script "openscada-proj" because of the specificity of these operations to the software platform, and therefore the need for a simple adaptation to this specificity.
The UI.QTStarter module also was significantly refactored and expanded for starting and collapsing to the system tray and for the custom control of the Look and Feels of the Qt interfaces.
