Thank you for your answer. Do you know if the remote database works correctly if only the backend for the remote database is used/activated? I can connect to the remote database remotely using influx CLI and telegraf and observe database structure (since no WinCC OA data is pushed into the database)...

Correction: Figure 2 should display "External DB PC 1" and "External DB PC 2"

Thank you for the reply. Correct me if I'm wrong but the reason for using InfluxDB Enterprise is that it probably already has mechanisms in place that can correctly consolidate data sent to it from two redundant WinCC OA servers, as opposed to the Open-Source InfluxDB (which is sufficient for local ...

Hi, I am using WinCC OA 3.17 P004 on Windows server 2019 standard OS. As explained from your side, archiving design as displayed in Figure 1 is not supported yet, so I am testing the next viable option, as indicated in Figure 2. Figure 1: Figure 2: The issue that I am observing with Figure 2 design ...

I am upvoting for the two proposed feature requests as I find them crucial for a clean and maintainable code base.

Hi, At the moment, I am using WinCC OA 3.17 P004 - where NGA only supports writing to non redundancy-aware databases. I would like to know if there is a plan to upgrade NGA to support writing archived data into a single (external) Influx database. Note: The intention is to use local influx databases...

Thanks for replying Leopold, Why do you need an additional function to set the input elements invalid if no heartbeat is received? - I was hoping to use trend tool to display the values as invalid (out of the box trend functionality) in case of connection loss or invalidation of the values (e.g. hea...

Hi, I have the following use case: There is a DPE that is a readback of an OPC UA variable. There exists another DPE that indicates whether the value of the first DPE is valid or not (let's call it heartbeat status). Since it is the driver (OPC UA Client) that invalidates the value in case of a conn...

Hi,

I am wondering if WinCC OA has any built in functionality that would "convert" a value stored in the datapoint with a defined unit as follows, without me needing to write code for it:
- Value: 0.0012345 A
- Value to be displayed: 1.2345 mA

Thanks for your help and BR,
