Explore the fundamentals of SCADA and learn to set up and use füxa for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing industrial processes with open source, visualization, and easy configuration.
Learn how a scada system enables supervisory control and data acquisition across multiple sites, integrating plcs, protocols, live data, remote monitoring, and historical recording within the automation pyramid.
Discover why fuxa, a web-based open-source hmi, scales from small to large projects, supports opc ua, modbus, bacnet, ethernet/ip, s7, and enables real-time visualization and node.js automation.
Install and configure the FUXA scada and InfluxDB database on Linux using Docker and Docker Compose, covering Docker install, environment variables, ports, and restart policies.
Install the Füxa stack on Windows using winget to install Docker Desktop, then run docker compose up to start containers and access them via Docker Desktop.
Explore the general overview of the scada system within the software, including home, lab, and editor pages, configurable views, drawing tools, and editable controls such as buttons and gauges.
Configure and visualize field devices in FUXA, read variables from web API, MQTT, and Modbus endpoints, and map them to tags for monitoring power, temperature, and energy.
Design and configure a home control page with interactive buttons, gauges, and images that monitor Shelly plugs, a doorbell via MQTT, and a simulated garden pump.
Create and organize views in editing mode, tune width and background, and configure general, side, and header navigation to link pages and trigger events like opening pages or popups.
Learn scada animations by visualizing an air handling unit with dampers, pumps, and pipe flow, using Modbus data and weather updates.
Learn to storify data and visualize it with live and historical plots in FUXA, using line charts for supply and temperature, real time and historical views, and CSV export.
Master creating and customizing reports in a scada system, including pdf outputs, page settings, recipients, daily schedules, and rich content with a tag table and averaged temperature data.
Learn to create, configure, and acknowledge alarms in Fuxa SCADA, set high and low temperature conditions, automate actions, and send email notifications via SMTP to receivers at defined intervals.
Explore creating and using JavaScript fetch scripts in FUXA to control devices via API URLs, pass parameters, and automate report downloads, with client or server execution and token authentication.
Manage users and permissions in FUXA by creating operator accounts, assigning groups, and enabling token authentication, login display, and page access controls for historical data.
