Backing up a SCADA software database can be a bit of a chore. Manual copying files and folders to get a backup is a common place task and sometimes comes with risk that the software database will be corrupted!

ClearSCADA GIS Mapping – Weather Canada
When ClearSCADA 2017 was released it came with a great new feature, native in-app support for mapping and Geo-location. It is a really neat feature and if you can input locations for all your assets you can do some really interesting workflows. ViewX, WebX and CS Mobile can all publish user location information to the […]
ClearSCADA 2017 – ViewX New Group Disable Default Mimic
I had found this forum post a long time ago and then lost it for a time because I forgot which key words to search for. I am posting this up on the blog so it can be easier to find, wish it was in the help file somewhere. Maybe it is… they have added […]
Set ClearSCADA WebX Homepage
This has been puzzling me for a while… how do you set the WebX homepage? It is useful to put the user on a landing page other than the usual WebX logo page. I know I had done this in the past for other clients, but had since forgotten. Well no longer! To set the […]
DNP3 Address Mapping on Standard SCADAPack

I was able to build and complete a small water SCADA system here in Canada (thanks GlobalFlow for the opportunity!) and we made the communications work using DNP3. So this system is built with SCADAPacks talking over a serial radio. Conveniently the master radio is at the […]
Secure ClearSCADA WebX
This is slowly coming… the need to secure our SCADA web clients. What follows are some configuration tricks for getting WebX secure and also enabling the ‘new’ WebX to talk properly to ‘original’ WebX for the purposes of client ease of use (mostly to let them have full Mimics and Maps at the same time). […]
Setup ClearSCADA Ethernet DNP3 Communications to a SCADAPack (non-E series)
So before the weekend I posted and put up screenshots detailing how to get DNP3 configured on SCADAPack to report up to a ClearSCADA SCADA host server. What follows is the matching ClearSCADA configuration to complete the loop. These screenshots were taken with the latest ClearSCADA 2017, but should also work fine in older (back to […]
Setup Ethernet DNP3 Communications on a SCADAPack (non-E series)
Its been a good month. I recently did some ClearSCADA training and apparently I might be one of a select few who has used the DNP3 features on SCADAPack in Western Canada. If you have also used DNP3 for your SCADA project, feel free to drop me a line, correct any non-sense, or otherwise comment […]
