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 "OPC-UA" modules significant updated and translated

The modules 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...

Module "Siemens" of subsystem "Data acquisition" significant 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.

Module "Diamond DAQ boards" of subsystem "DAQ" significant updated

The module updated for allowed to the boards FIFO access and wide support for other "Diamond Systems" boards expand support. Formal announce by the task and it documenting finish.

The boards of data acquisition of Diamond Systems represent the modules of expansion of the PC/104 form-factor. Boards may include: analog IO (input/outputs), digital IO, and counters. Complete constitution of the cards can vary greatly. There can be contained only one type of IO or some theirs mix. In addition, the function of data acquisition can be given to system boards of this company. For example, the motherboard "Athena" contains: 16 AI, 4 AO, 24 DIO.
