Simulating a SCADA NODE as a Modbus Slave
WebAccess provides a new function: Simulating the SCADA node into TCP Modbus devices
and supporting remote data collection via the TCP Modbus driver in other SCADA nodes.
Remote SCADA node simulates Local SCADA as TCP Modbus devices to collect data remotely.
The method is as follow:
1) Edit “moddef.ini” document, the file format is as follow:
[MOD_DEF]
LISTEN_PORT= 504
TOTAL_TAG = 7
TAG1=40001,TM_65,0
TAG2=40002,SIN_65,4
TAG3=40004,F65_CA01,4
TAG4=40014,F65_CA06,1
TAG5=30001,MD30001,0
TAG6=00001,F65_CD01,0
TAG7=10003,F65_CD_02_ALARM,0
[serial]
com=3
baud_rate=19200
data_bit=8
stop_bit=1
MainParity=N
device_unit_no=1
[Format Description]
LISTEN_PORT = port number for TCP/IP, must match WebAccess device configuration,
Default:504
TOATL_TAG = Total tags to be read
TAGn=ModBus_Address,WebAccess_TagName,Type
n= 1 to total_tag
ModBus_Address = 0xxxx, 1xxxx, 3xxxx, 4xxxx

ModBus_Address: Address of Modbus, which is the address of Modbus driver that Remote
SCADA uses to collect data.
WebAccess_TagName: Tag name in Local SCADA
Type is the definition of data conversion for Modbus type.
“0” is 16 bit, integer without plus or minus sign
“1” is 16 bit, integer with plus or minus sign

"4" is 32-bit floating-point;
Note:
a. Node name in remote SCADA Tag can be defined by the user.
b. Analog Tag Conversion Type: “4”
c. Digital Tag Conversion Type: “0”
2) Copy “moddef.ini” file to” Engineer name_SCADA name” of “config” folder in Local
SCADA, i.e.:C:\WebAccess\Node\config\LiveDemo_Demo.
3) Re-download and start kernel.
4) Remote SCADA: Select TCP Modbus (Modicon) driver.

WebAccess and AB PLC RSLinx Setting
1. RSLinx Setting:
1.1 RSLinx Gateway Setting
Open RSLinx and choose Communication Driver of Menu Bar in
Workstation.
Add Ethernet Device : Add PLC IP (Host Name)
If PLC IP is not added to RSLinx, WebAccess will help add the specified
setting of WebAccess Host or IP when WebAccess start the kernel and in
communication mode. RSLinx must be set the same as Station parameter.
Follow the following steps:
1.2 Choose RSL.inx.

If it is normal, the PLC icon is displayed.
2. Set AB PLC RSLinx in WebAccess
Comport Property: Interface Name: RSLinx
Interface Type: EI
Device Property: Device Type: ABPLC5
Ethernet Host or IP: Enter IP Address of ABPLC5
(the same as Host Name of RSLinx)
Unit Number: the same with Station of ABPLC5 in RSLinx
Station Number: the same with Unit Number
3. About simulation software of AB PLC RSLinx Gateway:
Only DH + and DH-485 can be simulated. The RSLinx Driver is incompatible with
RSLinx Driver of WebAccess. Therefore, it cannot simulate communication with
RSLinx Driver of WebAccess.
4. About software in AB PLC RSLinx Lite
Connection tests can be done only with an AB PLC. There’s no formal License Key. The
software cannot communicate with WebAccess.
5. Use RSLinx Pro or official version with License Key to communicate with HMI software.

Animation Layer Sequence Solution
How do we arrange an animation layers’ sequence? If two objects are made into two
different animations, which one should be used as the front layer?
If you don’t define the sequence, WebAccess will consider the latest animation to be
the top layer. To define which animation should be displayed as the top layer, you should
follow the procedures below. We will make a rectangle color animation and a rectangle
motion animation as our example.
Click “Start Draw”, and then select “Rectangle” from the toolbar. Choose “Multiple
States” when adding color animation to this rectangle. (In the example below, the
Accumulation Tag is chosen as the animation tag.)
Draw a smaller rectangle inside this rectangle after making the color animation. Make a
motion animation to this smaller rectangle. (The Accumulation Tag is chosen as the
animation tag.)
![Page 23: Advantech WebAccess 1 Advantech WebAccess Frequently asked Questions Part I:Communication Settings Omron Communication Settings 3 Set Siemens 7 Address and Parameter ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020114/5ae9f9c67f8b9a585f8bc14a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
FAQ
22
After completing the motion animation, select the bigger rectangle first (the white
rectangle with color animation), and then select the smaller rectangle with the Ctrl key and
left click the mouse (the black rectangle with motion animation). Finally click the animation
shortcut to make a color animation of both of them. Choose any tag in the Daq tag as the
animation tag (Here we use %ATMYEAR). Note that “Original Color” should be checked when
configuring the animation.

Changing the Button Color
Can the user change the button color in WebAccess and if so, how?
1. Click “Start Draw”, and then select “Rectangle” from the toolbar. Use digital tag when
adding color animation to this rectangle. After this, select “Button” from the “Dynamic”
drop-down list. Input “<SETVAL>a=%RRVERSE” in “Button Down Macro” field. After
checking “Group Objects”, click “OK” to save the setting.

2. Select “Rectangle” from the “Draw” tool and draw a rectangle to the size of the button
you need. Click “Animation” to edit the button.
Checking “Color” is how the animation to the color of the rectangle is changed.
Choosing “Digital States” allows the button being displayed in different colors when in
different digital states. Enter “%ATESTBUTTON” in the Tag filed, and then click “OK” to
animate the button and save the configuration.
However, this method will only change the color of the button when it is pushed. When
it is released, the color will restore to the original color.

Procedure for Hiding Buttons
How can the buttons be hidden?
1. Input text in the Draw interface, e.g. “Close”.
2. Select the text to make a button. The shape of the button will be the final
shape displayed, including the tilt angle and button color. The Macro field
can be blank. The button here is only used when providing frame
animation.
3. Select this button and click File > Save as DFM, and then enter the name
for the DFM file.
4. Select “Rectangle” in the toolbar and draw a rectangle of the size you
want.
5. Click Animation > Frame after selecting the rectangle, and then select
the DFM file as required. A Blank in the DFM file indicates the frame is
hidden. Click “OK”.
6. Select the frame to add the button command. The button here is the real
button to be used in the future, so you have to enter the right command
in the “Macro” field. The tilt angle of the button should be zero. The
color needs to be the same as the background color and do not check
“Highlight”.
7. Until now, the button can be hidden even if the conditions are not
suitable.
The other way is to determine the level and the right of the user via scripts.
However, this only decides whether the button can be operated. The button
cannot be hidden.
