Introduction

First of all, fell free to send corrections or alternative ways to this method 🙂

The main goal of this page is instruct how to install the latest PascalSCADA snapshot on the latest Lazarus version. Why I don’t explains how install it on Delphi or on a outdated Lazarus version, is question to another page, or feel free to send the instructions to install it on the desired IDE.

Warning: The current PascalSCADA package will install others packages together with  PascalSCADA. The packages are:

  • ZeosLib 7.2
  • BGRABitmap
  • BGRAControls

So, if you dislike some of these packages, feel free to create a new package without the undesired package.

BIG Warning 2: The PascalSCADA isn’t like others SCADA systems. It’s a package, plugin or a add-on (you name it) for Lazarus to enable it to create HMI/SCADA applications. So, a wizard with Next, Next then finish buttons will be not available.

What I need before start?
  1. Latest Lazarus version. If you are a Windows user, you can get Lazarus from: http://www.lazarus-ide.org/. If you are a Linux/FreeBSD user, you can get it from your package system.
  2. Latest PascalSCADA: available on this link.
  3. WinRAR or something else that can decompress .bz2 files.
Installing…

Well, the first to be installed is Lazarus. I don’t want explain how to install Lazarus on any OS/platform that exists on this world, because install Lazarus is a very simple task, both on Windows (With wizard next, next and finish) or on Linux (Linux Mint 17.3 here: sudo apt-get install….).  At the end of Lazarus install process, you should open it and see something similar to this:

Fresh Lazarus installation
Fresh Lazarus installation

If you see your fresh Lazarus similar to this, you are on the right way. The next step is install the PascalSCADA package. Please forget the Lazarus by a moment. Go to your Downloads folder and find the downloaded PascalSCADA and extract it to a folder of your choice.

After extract your file, return to Lazarus and select the menu bellow:

Installing a new package on Lazarus IDE
Installing a new package on Lazarus IDE

 

Click on this menu. A open file dialog will be showed:

Find PascalSCADA on your file system
Find PascalSCADA on your file system

 

Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PascalSCADA. You should see the following files:

  • pascalscada_common.lpk
  • pascalscada_full.lpk
  • pascalscada.lpk
  • pascalscada_db.lpk
  • pascalscada_hmi.lpk

If you don’t see one of these files, check your downloaded file, paths. If everything is ok, you should see a screen like this:

Find PascalSCADA on your file system (complete view)
Find PascalSCADA on your file system (complete view)

 

Select the file “pascalscada_full.lpk” then open it. The package window of pascalscada_full file will be displayed:

PascalSCADA package opened
PascalSCADA package opened

 

The last step, is install it into your IDE. To do this, click on button “Use >>” then select install.

The package pascalscada_full is a metapackage, used only to make a complete install of PascalSCADA on your Lazarus. Because of this, you will be bored with some messages:

Metapackage: used to make easy the complete install of PascalSCADA
Metapackage: used to make easy the complete install of PascalSCADA

 

Click on “Install it, I like the fat” to continue the install. The next screen display a list with all packages that will be installed into your IDE, as displayed below:

List of all packages that will be installed together with PascalSCADA
List of all packages that will be installed together with PascalSCADA

More detailed view:

List of all packages that will be installed together with PascalSCADA
List of all packages that will be installed together with PascalSCADA

 

Click on OK to continue the install and get the final question, about the IDE recompile process, as you can see below:

Rebuild Lazarus confirmation
Rebuild Lazarus confirmation

 

To continue, click on “Yes”. The installation process will be started and your IDE will be recompiled. At the end of recompile process, the IDE will restarted. If you have a project with unsaved changes, take care!!

After the restart, depending of your PascalSCADA version, you should see the following component palete on your Lazarus:

PascalSCADA installed: communication port components palette
PascalSCADA installed: communication port components palette
PascalSCADA installed: communication protocol components palette
PascalSCADA installed: communication protocol components palette
PascalSCADA installed: utility components palette
PascalSCADA installed: utility components palette
PascalSCADA installed: tags palette

PascalSCADA installed: screen controls palette
PascalSCADA installed: screen controls palette
PascalSCADA installed: user management and security components palette
PascalSCADA installed: user management and security components palette
PascalSCADA installed: database components palette
PascalSCADA installed: database components palette
PascalSCADA installed: FreePascal components palette
PascalSCADA installed: FreePascal components palette

If you see these tabs, congrats, you successfully installed the PascalSCADA on your Lazarus IDE.

    To update on Codetyphon: you should remove the pl_pascalscada package first. Then edit the new PascalSCADA packages and replace some dependencies:

    ** on pascalscada_db package, replace ZComponent dependency by pl_zeosdbo
    ** on pascalscada_hmi_package, replace the BGRABitmap and BGRAControls by pl_BGRABitmap and pl_BGRAControls.

    After this, install the pascalscada_full.lpk

    On Delphi RAD Studio Berlin? I don’t know, since I don’t update the packages for Delphi since Delphi XE2. Can you try and explain to us?

    • Fabio Luis Girardi Post authorReply

      I did no tested PascalSCADA for Mac OS X, but it have no reasons to don’t work. Maybe we can test together?

    • Fabio Luis Girardi Post authorReply

      I set a virtual machine to test PascalSCADA on Mac OS X El captain. I found some issues related with constants and units that are not defined/available for Mac. I’m fixing theses issues. When it’s done I’ll notify you.

    • Fabio Luis Girardi Post authorReply

      3Picure: I finished the changes for Mac OS X today. Can you download the latest revision from SVN and test?

    any idea?

      I think that this is caused because I used development versions of BGRABitmap and BGRAControls. Now I use stable versions of these libs. I’ll publish a new snapshot today. I did some tests with Lazarus 1.6.0 + FPC 3.0.0 Win32 and everything appears to be OK.

      Please test it. The updated snapshot file name is pascalscada_0.7.3_20170307.tar.bz2

      I’m uploading it now.

    Do you have any tutorial/manual on how to do alarming with this packages?

    I would really like to see how this is done with modbus tcp.

    Best regards

    This should be done via source code because alarming is missing feature in PascalSCADA yet, because I’m not a skilled developer across multiple databases. So, write these components is a big problem to me.

    But in my applications, I use a TPLCBlock to read all alarms together. The write on database occurs on event OnValueChange. On this event handler I declare a array of strings, where each array element represents the message of each alarm of TPLCBLock. Each active alarm receive a identifier, on this case it’s the auto increment key of the alarms database table and it’s stored on the application during all the life of this alarm. When a alarm is finished, I use this alarm identifier to finish it on database. After finish it on database, the value 0 (zero) is assigned to the variable that stores the alarm identifier on application.

    I’ll write a example showing how implement this.

      Dear Fabio,

      Thank you for good information!! 🙂

      I would like to see the example on how to implement this. Please let me know when you have an example ready 🙂

      I really like PascalScada, you have done a great job.

      Hi Fabio,

      Thank you for the example 🙂
      Looks great!

      I managed to change it to modbus tcp and mysql.
      Now i need to figure out how to implement an acknowledge to the PLC. Keeping the alarm in the alarm list until it is acknowledged and normal status.

      Best regards

  13. Fabio Luis Girardi Post authorReply

    To keep alarms in alarm list while it’s not acknowledge is simple, change the where on active alarm list from:

    WHERE dt_finished IS NULL;

    To

    WHERE dt_finished IS NULL OR dt_ack IS NULL;

    • robin Reply

      Hi,

      Thank you!
      Yes, i figured out that 🙂

      But how can I at the same time update the ack column for the alarm in the database send an acknowledge value to a certain holding register (same index as alarm but in a higher range) in the PLC by selecting one alarm from the DBGrid and pressing an ACK button?

      What are the limitations on TPLCBlock? How many arrays can I have in one TPLCBlock? And how many TPLCBlocks can i have in my project before it gets to slow or crashes?

      Best regards

    Hello,

    I need any example how I should configure components TCP_UDPPort, ISOTCPDriver, TagBit to work with S7 1200. Maybe small example, or step by step configuration..?
