Generic documentation of "Data acquisition in OpenSCADA" significant updated, appended and translated
The documentation actualized to the current OpenSCADA state and trends, significant updated, appended and translated. The documentation described in details the new data sources redundancy mechanism.
Data acquisition of the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)-system is its integral part, which get data from sources of different type. The nature of data, which operates SCADA, is characterized by signals of basic value's types (Integer, Real, Boolean and String). The signals vary over time and has their history, life. In the theory of technological processes (TP) under the signal it's meant the value of TP sensor in the ADC code, "raw" signal or in the real value. Signals can be combined into groups, which are often called parameters. For example, the advanced data sources can provide the structures of parameters with the predefined set of related signals. In addition to the direct data acquisition in the function of this mechanism is also included the transfer of actions to control devices of...
Module "DBArch" of subsystem "Archives" significant expanded
The module expanded to grouped values archivation and set optimal significantly for the archives reading by the pre-loading extension of seek request of DB. The module documentation updated and translated.
The module designed for archiving messages and values of OpenSCADA to a database maintained by OpenSCADA.
On 17 September 2016 in city Kiev (Ukraine): The conference of developers and users of the free software — FOSS 2016: "OpenSCADA — achievements, perspectives and 0.9LTS plans"
The conference was a success. On the conference was read the report about achievements, perspectives and 0.9LTS version plans of the project OpenSCADA.
Great thanks for OSDN!
The conference site is: osdn.org.ua
During the last three years the project OpenSCADA continued in self progress into the mode of deep stability with elements of expanding the allowed functions and it's directing to perform conditions and tasks of releasing a new stable version 0.9, there was done firstly of the OpenSCADA own server deploy, the project's resources planed update and creation of new services. Into the report shows the significant progress at the last three years and the now implementing plans, and the nears future plans.[more]
Update 16 to the production release of OpenSCADA 0.8 LTS
The update 0.8.16 (28.06.2016) 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. The update you can use for deploy new installations but for that better use The Work version (0.9) which provides more new features, modules, the component libraries and so on!
Generically the update have fixed about 35 bugs and have appended some improvements...[more]

Automation Linux distributive on OpenSCADA
The Automation Linux distributive on OpenSCADA moved to Debian packages base and described into proper project.
Of while for the project OpenSCADA was needed to create specialized builds of Linux environments kind of PLC firmwares, Live and installation disks for Automatic Work Places (AWP) and rapid familiarization of the OpenSCADA program. In begin it was enough to use standard Linux repositories, firstly it was ALTLinux and currently it is Debian. But in reason of needs to some packages of the Linux distributive fix, update and rebuild there was created self repository of this packages together with OpenSCADA packages.
OpenSCADA internet resources moved fully to new project's server and internet channel
OpenSCADA project's all internet resources were moved to new self-project hosting and wider internet channel and domain name "oscada.org" was switched to it. Primarily the resources are: the WEB-site, WIKI-knowledge base, File-resources, EMail and repository of source codes.
Also for next the server's infrastructure of OpenSCADA project represents, traces and manages the proper project's page was created in the location.
From begins the OpenSCADA resources hosted on a main server of DIYA Ltd. From 2015 year the OpenSCADA project had own a server and an internet channel thanks mostly to Beams&Plasmas funding.
Documentation of the "OPC-UA" module significantly updated and translated
The module documentation at last actualized to the current modules state, significant updated and translated. In the documentation added the OPC-UA specific code moving to library libOPC-UA and the library mostly described in structural and it's API. Also there added the table (in an appendix) of OPC-UA specification/services implementation state and the compatibility with different manufacturers of the OPC-UA software.
OPC (OLE for Process Control) — it is the family of protocols and technologies that provide the single interface to control the objects of automation and technological processes. The creating and support of specifications of OPC coordinates an international nonprofit organization OPC Foundation, established in 1994 by the leading manufacturers of industrial automation.
This module implements the interface and protocol support for OPC-UA in the form of client service, and as the OPC-UA server. Client service of OPC-UA is implemented by the same name module of the subsystem "Data...
The module "Siemens" of the subsystem "Data acquisition" significantly expanded
The module expanded to self implementing of ISO-TCP protocol. The task done mostly by Proviron Holding NV request by the the library LibnoDave specific crashes present. Also performed: restoring timeout addition, significant refactoring for the resources lock, error messages and other. The changes hard tested for a week.
Besides the expands was done the documentation full actualization and translation.
The primary aim of creating the module is to provide support for industrial controllers of firm Siemens of series S7(S7-200,300,400).
