SCADash¶

SCADash is the gateway's built-in web SCADA/HMI application — a browser-based tool for building live process dashboards (views), wiring them up to PLC and other data sources (tags), and monitoring/alarming on that data. It's pre-installed on the gateway.

You reach SCADash directly, or from Cockpit's Apps page — click Launch on the SCADash card.

Reaching SCADash¶

Open a browser and go to the gateway's IP address on port 1881, for example:

http://192.168.0.157:1881

No login by default

Unlike Cockpit, SCADash does not require a username and password unless it's been specifically configured to. Out of the box, both the runtime view and the full Editor (which can add, remove, or reconfigure devices, tags, alarms, and views) are open to anyone who can reach port 1881. See Getting started for how to lock this down, and treat network access to port 1881 as equivalent to admin access until you do.
