Retentive Totalizer & Counter Tags
The VTS retentive totalizer and counter tags provide important information for activities such as performing preventative maintenance, creating operating and usage reports or recognizing patterns and anomalies in your system.
- The counter tag allows you to count process events
- The totalizer tag records the sum of a process variable’s value
These values are retentive and will remain in memory even if the HMI is restarted. Users can configure their systems to regularly log these values to the historical database.

Real-time Monitoring of System Architecture
Unplanned downtime is unacceptable. VTS includes tools to monitor the network and computer infrastructure warning of impending problems and triggering alarms when unexpected events occur.
VTS monitors…
- I/O device communication links
- Computer memory, drive space available, CPU usage
- Network links between client and server workstations

Shared Polling Infrastructure
Why use a different communication link for each kind of PLC or RTU in your SCADA system?
VTS device drivers and polling management allow you to transmit multiple protocols over a single communications link (e.g. shared base station radio & frequency).
For more information, see the VTS / VTScada datasheet

Networked Electronic Operator’s Logbook
Using a standard handwritten operator’s logbook? VTS provides an encrypted, networked logbook for users to create time-stamped entries and print summaries as necessary. Notes cannot be edited and the entire log is saved to an encrypted file.
Operator notes are networked and therefore can be viewed by any VTS user with appropriate application security privileges.
