Thanks for the complinents :)

Yes that's right. In some situations we can solve the RT problem by adding
two timestamps to the data, one would be the time that the event has occured
set by the RTU, and the other would be the time when it has arrived on
QScada server,
set by the QScada server. That way we'll have the exact time when the event
has occured and when it was registered/logged by QScada.

good point

We don't have to reverse engineer those protocols. If we do that we
can not garantee that the protocol is working correctly.
I think the best way is those proprietary protocols to be written by
the companies themselves and to be given to us as compiled
plugins that can be added to QScada.
A concept similar to what NVidia is doing with the Linux drivers for
their graphic cards.


GREETZ, Jovan
