EclipseSCADA/GettingStarted/DemoSystem

This document explains the Eclipse SCADA demosystem.

Quick start

Download the "Eclipse SCADA Admin Client" (http://www.eclipse.org/eclipsescada/downloads.html). Start the application and create a new connection to: "da:ngp://demo.openscada.org:2101".

Press the right mouse on the node "User Preferences" and select "Add Connection…" from the context menu.

Double click on the connection node or use the content menu to "Connect" to the server. The username and password are "guest" / "guest12". Browse through the tree and add the "LUX" item to the realtime list by drag and drop.

Architecture

Note.png
At the moment the demo system is hosted at demo.openscada.org. But still it provides the Eclipse SCADA system.


The setup involves three nodes:

demo.openscada.org
The main server hosting the middleware and the value archive
ostest1.muc.ibhmgt.de
The server hosting the arduino driver
arduino
The arduino board itself with the Ethernet shield

'demo.openscada.org' connects to 'ostest1' using the DA/NGP protocol. The connection is an IPv6 TCP connection.

The arduino driver itself connects to the arduino ethernet shield and polls the data from the board. Since the polling is quite fast, the arduino driver is actually located beside the arduino board in our office, while the 'demo.openscada.org' server is hosted by an ISP "in the cloud".
