The VTScada Connectivity category includes a range of features designed to ensure seamless communication between your SCADA system and various devices, networks, and third-party applications. Here are some key aspects:
- Wide Range of I/O Drivers: VTScada supports a comprehensive library of I/O drivers, enabling connectivity with a vast array of PLCs, RTUs, and other field devices. This ensures that your SCADA system can interface with virtually any hardware
- OPC Compliance: VTScada is fully compliant with OPC standards, including OPC DA, OPC UA, and OPC HDA. This allows for easy integration with other OPC-compliant systems and devices, facilitating data exchange and interoperability
- Third-Party Database Integration: VTScada can connect to various third-party databases, such as SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL. This enables the seamless sharing of historical and real-time data with business intelligence and enterprise systems
- Web Services and APIs: VTScada provides web services and APIs that allow developers to create custom integrations and extend the functionality of the SCADA system. This includes RESTful APIs for accessing and manipulating data
- Remote Access and Thin Clients: VTScada supports remote access through thin clients, allowing operators to monitor and control the system from any location with an internet connection. This includes support for mobile devices, ensuring flexibility and accessibility
- Network Redundancy and Failover: VTScada includes features for network redundancy and failover, ensuring continuous communication even in the event of network disruptions. This enhances the reliability and resilience of the SCADA system.
These features collectively ensure that your SCADA system remains connected and interoperable with a wide range of devices and systems, providing a robust and flexible solution for your connectivity needs.

SparkPlug B Accelerate development by auto-generating tags for edge devices. Sparkplug B is an open standard that enhances the MQTT protocol for the Industrial Internet of Things. It helps ensure interoperability between devices from different manufacturers by defining a common data formatting standard. VTScada can use Sparkplug B to automatically create tags based on information pulled from compliant PLCs.

Poll Driver Simplify complex telemetry without a Master PLC. VTScada’s native polling management allows you to manage complex polling cycles that include telemetry protocols such as DNP3, IEC 60870, Motorola, and DFS. It even supports protocols with store-and-forward, datahopping, and digipeating.

MQTT Client Driver Read and write data from edge-of-network devices. The MQTT Client Driver can transfer information to and from an MQTT broker, either on your local intranet or on the Internet. You may then log, view, alarm, and report on values from devices connected to that host in your VTScada system. Also Supports being a SCADA Host for devices using the Sparkplug B protocol.

I/O and PLC Deadbanding Avoid choking networks and hard drives with meaningless data. Avoid choking your system with irrelevant data such as minor changes from ripples on a pond. VTScada’s analog I/O tags boost performance by not logging changes below a chosen threshold. PLC Driver Deadbands reduce network traffic and CPU performance by eliminating this noise at the device level.
