Security Risk Disclaimer
Pay attention to the following recommendations and measures to increase the level of security of ComAp
products and services.
Please note that possible cyber-attacks cannot be fully avoided by the below mentioned recommendations
and set of measures already performed by ComAp, but by following them the cyber-attacks can be
considerably reduced and thereby to reduce the risk of damage. ComAp does not take any responsibility for
the actions of persons responsible for cyber-attacks, nor for any damage caused by the cyber-attack.
However, ComAp is prepared to provide technical support to resolve problems arising from such actions,
including but not limited to restoring settings prior to the cyber-attacks, backing up data, recommending other
preventive measures against any further attacks.
Warning: Some forms of technical support may be provided against payment. There is no legal or factual
entitlement for technical services provided in connection to resolving problems arising from cyber-attack or
other unauthorized accesses to ComAp's Products or Services.
General security recommendations and set of measures
1. AccessCode
• Change the AccessCode BEFORE the device is connected to a network.
• Use a secure AccessCode – ideally a random string of 8 characters containing lowercase, uppercase letters
and digits.
• For each device use a different AccessCode.
2. Password
• Change the password BEFORE the device enters a regular operation.
• Do not leave displays or PC tools unattended if an user, especially administrator, is logged in.
3. Controller Web interface
• The controller web interface at port TCP/80 is based on http, not https, and thus it is intended to be used only
in closed private network infrastructures.
• Avoid exposing the port TCP/80 to the public Internet.
4. MODBUS/TCP
• The MODBUS/TCP protocol (port TCP/502) is an instrumentation protocol designed to exchange data
between locally connected devices like sensors, I/O modules, controllers etc. From it’s nature it does not
contain any kind of security – neither encryption nor authentication. Thus it is intended to be used only in
closed private network infrastructures.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 7

 • Avoid exposing the port TCP/502 to the public Internet.
5. SNMP
• The SNMP protocol (port UDP/161) version 1,2 is not encrypted. Thus it is intended to be used only in
closed private network infrastructures.
• Avoid exposing the port UDP/161 to the public Internet.

2.1 Welcome
Welcome to ComAp's InteliSCADA global guide. InteliSCADA is a monitoring tool for ComAp devices (see
Supported ComAp devices on page 17) and runs on Microsoft Windows operating system (see
Installation on page 10 for details). It supports both online and offline device connections. Devices can be
connected either via the Ethernet connection, AirGate connection, direct connection (using USB or RS232) or
offline connection (device connected to the offline archive only). Devices are managed in sites. There are two
applications accessible via pre-installed Windows Desktop shortcuts:
Designer (page 22) - Used to manage sites, devices and custom screens
Sites (page 25) tab - Add, edit or delete a site
Devices (page 28) tab - Add, edit or delete a device of the particular site
Editor (page 34) tab - Add, edit, delete or design a screen of the particular site
Preview (page 47) tab - Preview the automatically generated screen or the custom screen, for long-
term monitoring use the Runtime (page 50) instead
Runtime (page 50) - used for long-term site monitoring:
Sites (page 52) tab - Lists all sites available on the server
Opens particular site for monitoring (the site password is required)
Is used to monitor and control all devices of the particular site

2.2 Requirements
Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 10 IoT 64-bit. Keep your SW updated (e.g. Windows operation
system, drivers, ...)
Web browser Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox if running InteliSCADA in the browser
The latest firmware versions for all ComAp devices and other modules (e.g. CM-Ethernet, IB-COM etc.)
which will be connected to InteliSCADA.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 9

 Minimal hardware requirements:
Intel® Celeron® quad core processor J1900, 32 GB SSD (5 GB available space), 4GB RAM used for
example in ComAp industrial panel InteliVision 18Touch.
Installed InteliSCADA takes up 2 GB of disk space.
Performance recommendations:
The performance depends on the number and type of instruments on the screen and on the amount of
communicated data (number of connected devices and data points). A high-performance site configuration
for InteliVision 18Touch contains about 16 devices and 400 instruments per screen.

Note: One data point from one device used on multiple instruments and/or screens counts as one data point.

To see information about licenses go to Designer and open the License Details dialog from the Settings
section available in the Device tab, Editor tab or Preview tab.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 12

 If any license limit is exceeded for a particular site, it is not possible to open it in Runtime until the "Required
License" type is activated. However, it is still possible to work with the site in the Designer. The information
about the required license for the particular site is displayed in the License Details dialog in the Designer and
also in the Sites tab in the Runtime (see Navigation in Runtime on page 50).
In Runtime, there are symbols that indicate whether the site complies with the current license.
The site complies with the current license (no limit exceeded)

The site doesn't comply with the current license (any limit of currently used license exceeded)

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 13

 To see the required license for a particular site or current license simple click on the red dollar button
in Runtime. It is possible to either activate higher license (see License activation (page 15)) or modify the
site in Designer to comply with the current license limits

If the number of data points exceeds the limits of Pro+ license, the required license will be of type
'Unavailable' and the site will not be possible to open in Runtime. To open it in Runtime, please modify the site
in Designer to meet the requirements of available licenses.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 14

2.4.1 License activation
A license can be activated only from Runtime
either using License Activation dialog, which can be opened from Settings section

or using extended License Activation dialog, which can be opened from Sites of Runtime by clicking on
the red dollar button of particular site

To activate a license follow this procedure:

Copy the Hardware ID( ) and send it, including required type of license, to your distributor (e.g. by
email)

Distributor will send back the activation code. Copy and paste it to the Activation Code input field
Click on the Activate License button to activate the license
There will be a notification in the dialog about the activation result and the Current License field will
change accordingly
IMPORTANT: Activation Code is generated based on the Hardware ID, i.e. for the specified PC
hardware, where InteliSCADA is installed. If any part of the hardware is changed, a new license
activation code might be required.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 15

2.4.2 Clients limitation
Only one Designer and one Runtime can be opened at the same time. Any additional clients are rejected by
the server and the information page is returned:

2.4.3 Site limitation

ComAp communication module Notes
Provided data points are limited to values and setpoints.
Other types like Alarm List or LEDs are not supported,
InteliGateway therefore they are not available in the Editor (page 34).
InteliFieldbus Gateway Although more devices can be connected to
InteliFieldbus Gateway, the gateway itself is considered
as one device in InteliSCADA.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 18

2.6 Backup & restore
IMPORTANT: Every time you uninstall, re-install, upgrade or downgrade InteliSCADA a backup
folder with your data is automatically created.

A size of backup files depends on the sites configuration. Consider available free disk space for the new
backup. It is also possible to back up the data manually, see the chapter How to back up the data (page
19).

2.6.1 How to back up the data

To create a backup of data manually, make a spare copy of the complete directory
C:\ProgramData\ComAp PC Suite\InteliSCADA\.
IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend that you back up the data regularly to prevent potential
data loss. Most important is to back up data.db file that contains created sites and images.

Files cs-data.db and cs-archives.db can be deleted to save disk space - these files contain cache for faster
loading and will be generated again automatically.
It is also possible to backup automatically exported sites stored in C:\ProgramData\ComAp PC
Suite\InteliSCADA-Backup\Sites\. For more information see Automatic site backup on page 20.

2.6.2 How to restore the backed up data

Before backup restoration make sure that InteliSCADA service is not running (see InteliSCADA as service
(page 11)). If the service is running, stop it.
1. To find automatically backed up data, open Windows explorer and go to the specific backup folder:
C:\ProgramData\ComAp PC Suite\InteliSCADA-Backup\specific backup folder
contains today date & actual version of InteliSCADA (Backup[YYYYMMDDHHMMSS]-
[Version])
If the backup was made manually as described in chapter How to back up the data (page 19) you can
use the repository from manual backup.
2. Select all files and folders to be restored (data.db, License folder) and select Copy function

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 19

 3. Paste copied files and folders to destination folder at C:\ProgramData\ComAp PC
Suite\InteliSCADA\

4. If there are any data in the destination folder, consider to make a backup before overwriting
5. Run InteliSCADA service again (see InteliSCADA as service (page 11))

2.6.3 Automatic site backup

Each site edited in Designer is automatically backed up to the specific folder after the site is closed. The
backup operation runs seamlessly in the background (temporary increase of the CPU and RAM usage may
occur).
In case of corruption or loss of the site it is possible to restore it using the "Import site" feature, see Import
site on page 28. Just select the site you want to recover from C:\ProgramData\ComAp PC
Suite\InteliSCADA-Backup\Sites\

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 20

2.7 Uninstallation
1. Open the Start menu
2. Select ComAp PC Suite
3. Select Uninstall InteliSCADA
Before uninstallation the backup of user data is automatically created, see Backup & restore (page 19)
During uninstallation you can remove the user data by checking the corresponding checkbox. If checked, the
following files are removed:

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 30

3.2.2 Setting up controller username and password
The process of logging in can vary depending on a controller type. Some types of controllers (e.g. IGS NT
family, IM NT family, InteliLite 4) require the username and password to log in, others (e.g. InteliLite, InteliGen
200, InteliGen 500, InteliMains 210, most of InteliDrive) require just the password.
Connecting to the controller is generally possible with or without logging in to the controller. By logging in
to the controller, its levels of access rights can be used.

The controller usernames are defined using InteliConfig (User management) or InteliMonitor (Admin
users) based on the controller type.

The list of usernames is also available in InteliMonitor in the Login (Enter password…) dialog for online
connection . List of usernames are not available for Archives .

The Username and Password are case sensitive.

The default administrator username also depends on the controller type and can be changed as well.
Therefore it is recommended to verify the current usernames in the controller before logging in
InteliSCADA.
The entered credentials are protected by the site password (see Security on page 60for details).
Most types of controllers can be also connected without logging in. This can be done by leaving Username
and Password fields empty. Access to data is restricted accordingly.
Logging in is mandatory for controllers with the new version of user management (e.g. InteliLite 4).
In InteliSCADA it is not possible to log in after establishing a connection (there is no Login button as in
other ComAp tools). The login data is defined in the Device form in Designer and it is used when
establishing a connection.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 31

 Here are some username and password setting examples for different ComAp controllers families
IGS NT family + IM NT family

Logged in Not logged in

Username required empty

Password required empty

IG 200, IG 500, IM 210, InteliLite, InteliLite NT and most of InteliDrive controllers

Edit the properties of the screens and the instruments using the Properties panel (page 40)
To check how the edited screen looks and works online, see Preview (page 47)

3.3.1 Data points

InteliSCADA data point is a core component and represents data object, which refers to the single value or
setpoint of any device, but also represents more complex data objects like commands, alarm list data, LEDs,
etc. This concept allows to connect any instrument to any data point of any device.
To use data points in Editor the data points have to be imported first, see Importing data points (page 34)

3.3.2 Importing data points

IMPORTANT: if you want to connect an instrument to a device, it is necessary the device to be
defined and its data points imported:

There are two options how to import the data points

Manually for already existing device
Open the Devices tab
Click on the "Import Data Points" button for the particular device
It will try to connect to the device and import data points automatically
Automatically when a new device is added, see Add device (page 29)

The dialog is divided into 3 columns. For a description of each column see Setpoints on page 52.

4.5 History
The dialog shows the overview of history records for multiple devices configured in a site.
It is possible to open the History dialog:
from the Preview tab in Designer, see Preview on page 47
from Runtime, see Runtime on page 50
Once the dialog is opened, the history is loaded in parts by infinite scroll.
History records are ordered chronologically by the date and time from the most recent history record to the
oldest one. Make sure to set the correct date & time setpoints in each ComAp controller to have records
ordered chronologically.
The history table is automatically updated when:
the most recent history record (with No. 0) is visible and a new record arrives
the History dialog is opened
the table is scrolled up to the most recent history record and the page is not yet loaded in the cache
the table is scrolled down to the oldest history record and the page is not yet loaded in the cache, new
records should be loaded by infinite scroll

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 55

 No. - The number of the records

Date - Date when the record was generated in the device

Time - Time when the record was generated in the device

Device - User defined device name used in InteliSCADA

Reason - Reason of the record

Recorded values are divided into columns by values or grouped into one column in case of
the text record

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 56

 Pre-mortem history records are visually distinguished.

Note: The number of history records is limited. The maximum number of records is 25.000 in total for all
sites. The oldest records beyond this limit will be automatically removed.

Click on any of the rows in the table to set focus. The row with focus is highlighted and when the history table
is updated (and the table still contains the focused row) the table is scrolled, so the focused row is always
visible. Sometimes it can happen that the focused row is not loaded on the table update. In that case all the
rows lose their focus and the table is not scrolled anywhere.
The history toolbar indicates connection status of used devices. History records that belong to disconnected
devices display indication on the Device column. Be aware that the history records from disconnected
devices are most likely not complete.

The total number of connected devices

4.5.2 History columns

The order of the columns can be changed by drag and drop. The width of any column can be changed by
moving the column splitter. The No., Date, Time, Device and Reason are pinned to the left by default. Pinned
columns are protected from horizontal scrolling. Each column, except those that are pinned by default, can be
pinned or unpinned by dragging the column from the unpinned area and dropping into the pinned area. Every
time any change that affects one of these settings (order, width, pin) is done, the current settings are saved
and previous settings are lost. The most recent settings are loaded, when the history window is closed and
opened again and it is also preserved, when the application is closed and opened again.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 58

4.5.3 Exporting history
The History dialog offers the possibility to export history to the CSV file (that can be opened e.g. in Excel). By
default, the file name is generated from the site name (e.g. Site1.csv). The history is exported only for the
selected devices specified by the filter, see History filters (page 58). Export might take a few minutes so it
runs in the background.

Export History - Exports history. It shows In-progress indication (page 59) while the
export is in progress in the background.

Once the history export is completed and ready to download, a notification message with the Download

6 Instruments
All supported instruments can be used on any custom screen or on Automatically generated screen (page
110).
Some instrument properties configurations(e.g. scale limits, warning limits, iframe content, alternative
images) are not reflected when the instrument is placed on the canvas in Editor, but they are reflected in
Runtime and Preview.
Some properties are interconnected, thus the content of one property may depend on the value of another
one, e.g. to select a data point, the device must be selected first.
There are non-standard state indications apply to any of the instruments, see Instrument non-standard
states (page 124)

6.15 IFrame
Instrument that represents inline frame for embedding another content. With the IFrame instrument it is
possible to have for example an instruction video embedded in a custom screen.
To configure IFrame instrument, user has to set its Url (src) property to a valid source path to a content that
supports embedding by an iframe element.
Here is an example how to insert an IFrame Url for a video:

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 87

 1. Click "Share" button below the YouTube video

2. Select "Embed" share option

3. Select and copy only the src value of generated IFrame component

4. Paste the src value to the Url (src) property of an IFrame instrument in the Editor
If there is a configured source for the instrument, the path is visible within the top of the instrument
container in Editor. This information can not overlap instrument size so only first path row is visible.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 88

 5. IFrame content is then loaded in Runtime and Preview. Rendered content fits the instrument size.

If no source is set or the source is not accessible the IFrame instrument content in Runtime or Preview is
empty.

6.16.2 Dynamic Image
The displayed image can be dynamically switched based on the selected bits' values.
It is possible to choose only one of the bits for switching 2 images, or both of them for switching up to 4
images.
If you select only one of the binary bits data points, value of the other one will be 0.
To select the Binary Bit Data Point the Devices has to be selected..
Only image sources for reachable combinations for selected bit(s) will be used (e.g. if you choose only the
most significant bit (blue), then the only combinations 00 and 10 are reachable). Sources for unreachable
combinations are ignored (but they will be saved in instrument definition).
The source for the combination 00 is synchronized with the source for static image.
Editor will show only the image for the 00 value combination, in Preview or Runtime the relevant image will
be displayed.
It is not required to select images for all the combinations.

6.17 LED
LED instrument is used to monitor states (values) of binary communication objects. User can select color and
which bit value (0 or 1) is for "On" state.

6.21 Markdown Text

The Markdown Text instrument is used for a custom text. It supports the Markdown (markup language) and
some HTML syntax, which allows text formatting.
The Markdown Text instrument provides a validation of the inserted input, so it is not possible to process any
XSS vulnerabilities. Any part of the text that is evaluated as a possible security threat is automatically ignored.
Example: "javascript:...", "<script>/*+...+*/</script>" or "<iframe>...</iframe>".

Note: The IFrame (page 87) is available instead.

8.1 Connection to server

When the connection to the server is lost, an error message is displayed on the screen. There are generally
two reasons that cause this error:
The server is overloaded with requests. In this case, the connection will be re-established as soon as
possible and InteliSCADA will continue working normally.
The server is down. Check the service status, see InteliSCADA as service on page 11.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 122

 When Runtime or Designer is started and the service is still not running, another error page is displayed.

8.3 Device column template states

Device column template is displayed on the Automatically generated screen (page 110) for each device
individually. It can show different states, see the table.

8.4 Database compatibility

When the InteliSCADA service starts it performs database data compatibility check. There are three possible
outcomes:
1. Both the supported database version and the local database version are the same. Then the service starts
and runs as usually.
2. The supported database version is higher than the local database version. Then a data migration process
is started and, if successful, the service starts and runs as usually.
3. The supported database version is lower than the local database version or the migration fails. Then the
service starts but responds with error page "ERROR - data version mismatch". You either have to upgrade
the InteliSCADA to higher version, which supports the version of local database or use older database file
with lower version. An older database file can be obtained from the backup created automatically before
installation.

InteliSCADA 2.1.0 Global Guide 127

 Note: This scenario cannot occur unless you downgrade InteliSCADA to older version which doesn't
support the newer database version.

Note: The version of the database is different than the version of InteliSCADA. The version of the
database increases only when data schema changes.
