Can DI process SCADA data through an OPC Interface?

Currently supporting a partner in a bid to an Energy company who want to be able to report on
SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) data from their wind farms. This is raw data about turbine faults, meteorological data, and 10 minute status updates.
The partner and myself are unsure how we can go about collecting the data from the SCADA servers on the wind farms, particularly in relation to data from turbines manufactured by Enercon and Nordex. Both of these companies provide an OPC interface to their SCADA datastore. (I understand that OPC is an industry standard for SCADA data & that it stands for OLE for Process Control).
Question is, does anyone out there know whether DI supports OPC in any way and has been used in this scenario?

I'm not familiar with Enercon and Nordex control systems which are probably designed to perform optimisation peculiar to wind farms as well as providing monitoring and control. If they're based on OSISoft's PI server then you could probably use the PI ODBC driver or they may have their own ODBC driver.
There is also the possibility of using XML as an interface - I believe there are OPC XML data interchange products which may be able to do what you want though I haven't used them myself
Hope this helps.

Measure data through XI per interface/communication channel

Is there a way to measure the data through XI per interface/communication channel. SXMS_XI_AUDIT_DISPLAY gives you a list of the total throughput in XI, but I would like this to be specified per interface or communication channel.
Is this possible?

Go to RWB -> Performance Monitoring -> Here you can specify the interface name and time interval and it will give you all the details like Message Size, Processing Time, Start-End of processing interval etc.

How can I send post data through nsurlrequest?

Hi.
I'm working on an application which needs to make requests to a php gateway. I tried many examples I found on google, but none of them worked for me.
First I was working with GET, and it worked just fine, but now, as I need to send more complex data, GET isn't a solution anymore. I have three params to send: module which is a string containing a php class name, method: the function in the class, and params for the function which is usually an indexed array.
The following method makes the request to the server, but for some reason, doesn't send the POST data. If I var_dump($_REQUEST) or var_dump($_POST), it turns out, the array is empty. Can somebody tell me, what am I doing wrong? Is there some kind of a sandbox, which prevents data from being sent to the? I also tried to send some random strings, which aren't json encoded, no luck. The sdk version is 5.1, and I'm using the iPhone simulator from xcode.
If it is possible I would like to solve this problem without any additional libraries (like asihttp).
And here is the code:
+(NSObject *)createRequest:(NSString *)module: (NSString *)method: (NSArray *)params
    NSString *url       = @"http://url/gateway.php";
    NSData *requestData = nil;
    NSDictionary *data = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
            module, @"module",
            method, @"method",
            params, @"params",
            nil];
    NSString *jsonMessage = [data JSONRepresentation];
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
    NSString *msgLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [jsonMessage length]];
    [request addValue: @"text/xml; charset=utf-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    [request addValue: msgLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    [request setHTTPBody: [jsonMessage dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    requestData     = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
    NSString *get   = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:requestData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@">>>>>>%@<<<<<<",get);
Thank you.

Why not?
Unfortunately, you are dealing with a number of different technologies that have been cobbled together over the years. You could write a PHP server that would respond correctly to this request, but not using basic methods like the $_POST variable. PHP was designed for HTML and true forms. What you are trying to do is make it work as a general purpose web service over the HTTP protocol. You can do that, but not with the form-centric convenience variables.
The following is a basic program that will populate the $_POST variable.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
@autoreleasepool
    // insert code here...
    NSLog(@"Hello, World!");
    NSString * module = @"coolmodule";
    NSString * method = @"slickmethod";
    //NSArray * params = @[@"The", @"Quick", @"Brown", @"Fox"];
    NSString * params = @"TheQuickBrownFox";
    NSString * url = @"http://localhost/~jdaniel/test.php";
    NSDictionary * data =
      [NSDictionary
        dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
          module, @"module",
          method, @"method",
          params, @"params",
          nil];
    //NSString *jsonMessage = [data JSONRepresentation];
    //NSData * jsonMessage =
    // [NSJSONSerialization
    //    dataWithJSONObject: data options: 0 error: nil];
    NSMutableArray * content = [NSMutableArray array];
    for(NSString * key in data)
      [content
        addObject: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@=%@", key, data[key]]];
    NSString * body = [content componentsJoinedByString: @"&"];
    NSData * bodyData = [body dataUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSMutableURLRequest * request =
      [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL: [NSURL URLWithString:url]];
    //NSString * msgLength =
    // [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%ld", [jsonMessage length]];
    NSString * msgLength =
      [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%ld", [bodyData length]];
    [request
      addValue: @"application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8"
      forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];
    [request addValue: msgLength forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Length"];
    [request setHTTPMethod: @"POST"];
    //[request setHTTPBody: jsonMessage];
    [request setHTTPBody: bodyData];
    NSData * requestData =
      [NSURLConnection
        sendSynchronousRequest: request returningResponse: nil error: nil];
    NSString * get =
      [[NSString alloc]
        initWithData: requestData encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@">%@<",get);
return 0;
I have written this type of low-level server in PHP using the Zend framework. I don't know how to do it in basic PHP and wouldn't bother to learn.
Also, you should review how you are sending data. I changed your example to send the appropriate data and content-type for the $_POST variable. If you had a server that could support something else, you could use either JSON or XML, but your data and content-type would have to match.

I am using NI PXIe-1073 with Labview-2014.After deploying the VI how can i read the data through host computer?

PIB. I want to read the data from the GPIB after the operation complete. I am using *opc? command, which should set the status register bit after the completion of the operation, but this is not working. How to know that the Operation is complete"-Thanks.The NI-488 global status variables ibsta, ibcnt, and iberr is what you are looking for. Look into the 4882 help file for details. Also NI-Spy, http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/nispy.htm, is a good debug util. There is a website that lists common GPIB error codes and solutions. You may check there for some things to try. You'll find the link at ni.com > Support > Troubleshooting > Installation/Getting Started > GPIB, titled "GPIB Error Codes and Common Solutions".
You could find a driver for this instrument at http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm . If it's not listed there, it leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
We develop dri
vers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:

Hope this helps.

Can I write a data to intrument through Lookout OPC driver sever?

I can read data from intruments through Lookout OPC driver sever, how can I write data to instruments? Can I still use the dataSocket to find the address and send the data through Lookout OPC driver sever? Thanks!

The write should work just like the read. The OPC server will let you write as well as read.

How can I edit the database in Lookout OPC Modbus driver OPC sever with the address that has a write attribute?

When I use Lookout Modbus driver OPC to communicate with my instrumnets, I edited the database number such as 41202 that has a Write attribute in my instrumnet manual, the OPC explorer got bad data, and the OPC server gave the illegal address alarm, when I input the address such as 41203 that has R/W attribute, it worked very well. Is there a way to fix this problem. When I used other OPC server, there was no this kind of problem. Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion. I checked the Modbus manual of my instrument, the register is 16 bit. I tried to edit the data according to the Modbus data member in lookout modbus drivere server for several different member, but the OPC still gave me the illegal address. I think the problem may be produced by their attribute, for the address 1201 and 1202, they have the write attribute, for other addresses, they have W/R attribute, and they can be read or write through Lookout OPC server perfectly. when I used the demo OPC server from other company, it can work well, but it is not convinient for me to use Labview when I use that software. I prefer NI Lookout OPc server. I am using the Lookout 4.5. I am wondering whether the Lookout has some shortcoming when I
use the Modbus driver. Please give me any suggestion, is there any newest version of Lookout OPC sever? Thanks!

this is for processing inbound IDOc through XML-HTTP(Inbound) port
like this there should be an option for reading files placed by HTTP_POST.
in SICF transaction there should be a service to do that.
defaulthost -> sap-> xi-> adapter_plain. i know you don't have XI in your landscape but this is the component which be responsble for receving messages over HTTP_POST.
look for a program which can access messages from there.
please check with your basis team

Can't load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis)

Hi,
There is EPM application where I want to give ability to planners to load data through smart view (ad hoc analysis). In Shared Services there are four options in
EssbaseCluster-1: Administrator, Create/Delete Application, Server Access, Provisioning Manager. Only Administrator can submit data in smart view (ad-hoc analysis). But I don't want to grant Essbase administrator to planners, I'm just interested to give them ability to load data through ad-hoc analysis. Please suggest!

I take that you refreshed the Planning security, If not refresh the security of those users. Managing Security Filters
Check in EAS whether those filters are created with "Write" permissions.

I am receiving the data through the rs232 in labview and i have to store the data in to the word file only if there is a change in the data and we have to scan the data continuasly how can i do that.

i am receiving the data through the rs232 in labview and i have to store the data in to the word or text file only if there is a change in the data. I have to scan the data continuasly. how can i do that. I was able to store the data into the text or word file but could not be able to do it. I am gettting the data from rs232 interms of 0 or 1. and i have to print it only if thereis a change in data from 0 to 1. if i use if-loop , each as much time there is 0 or 1 is there that much time the data gets printed. i dont know how to do this program please help me if anybody knows the answer

I have attatched the vi. Here in this it receives the data from rs232 as string and converted into binery. and indicated in led also normally if the data 1 comes then the led's will be off. suppose if 0 comes the corresponding data status is wrtten into the text file. But here the problem is the same data will be printed many number of times. so i have to make it like if there is a transition from 1 to o then only print it once. how to do it. I am doing this from few weeks please reply if you know the answer immediatly
thanking you

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

I want to transfer data through the serial port in the same coding that hyperterminal uses. How can i do it?

The serial port seems to be working, and labview seems to be sending the data, but the problem is in which format does it send the data, because in hyperterminal i just input the string "JDX" and it sends it to my device, with labview it sends something but my device does not recognize it.

Hyperterminal adds the carriage return/line feed to the string which is
generated by the return key to send out the current line. LabVIEW simply
sends out what you tell it, so try to set the string to "Show \ Display"
format and add a \r or \n or \r\n to the command you want to send out.
Assumes of course that you set the right baudr
ate/bits/parity etc in
LabVIEW with the VISA property node, when opening the serial port.

IMac can't read data through 32' USB Active Extension / Repeater Cable

My iMac doesn't seem to be able to read data through my 32' USB Active Extension / Repeater Cable. The cable is brand new, and it works flawlessly to connect my Microsoft Kinect Sensor to my Xbox 360, so I don't think the cable is the problem. Does anyone know how I might solve this issue?
Here is the cable I am using:
32ft 10M USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Active Extension / Repeater Cable (Kinect & PS3 Move Compatible Extension)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Have you researched allowed USB cable length for computer connections? I just bought an extension and that cable carried the warning that USB lengths greater than 10 ft were not supported by most computer systems for device connection.
Just talked with a computer support person at work who said he had never heard of anyone being able to use a cable that long. Can you get closer to your computer and use a shorter cable?
As an addendum, read this article, says you cannot use that length cable:
