ATSCADA IWebAPI Tools – Web API Integration Tools for Modern SCADA Systems

The ATSCADA IWebAPI toolset is designed to retrieve data from ATDriver Server and expose it through APIs, allowing external systems to access and use the data flexibly and efficiently, while supporting file exchange through ATSCADA iFtp.

System Preparation and Installation

Step 1: Install the iWebAPITools Package

9. Open the Resources Installation Manager software.
10. Find iWebAPITools (Version 5.0.0.1).
11. Click the Install button.
12. When the setup window appears, click Install → Finish to complete the installation of ATSCADA IWebAPI.

Step 2: Configure ATDriver Server (Create Data Tags)

This is a very important step to create the data source for calculation tools in ATSCADA IWebAPI.

Open ATDriver Server. Go to File → New.
Add Channel: Name APITool, Driver select InternalMemory.all.dll.
Add Device: Name Device 1.
Create the following Tags (Data Type: String/Double):

• Tag1
• Tag2
• Tag3

Go to File → Save As and save the file as APITools.xml.

Step 3: Configure iTagBuilder

Open iTagBuilder. Select New → Yes.

At Driver Name, enter ATDriver. Click Add Driver, then select ATDriverClient.dll.

Enter the IP Address of the computer running Driver Server (for example: 192.168.1.122) or keep the default localhost. Click Connect.

Go to Tools → Import All. Select the Device and click OK.

Go to File → Project Register, save the file name, and click Yes to register tags into the ATSCADA IWebAPI system.

Interface Design in Visual Studio

Step 4: Integrate iWebAPITools into Toolbox

Open Visual Studio and create a Windows Forms App (.NET Framework) project.

On the Toolbox panel, right-click and select Add Tab, then name it ATSCADA iWebAPITools.

Right-click the newly created tab and select Choose Items…

Click Browse, then navigate to the installation path:

C:\Program Files\ATPro\ATSCADA\iWebAPITools\iWebAPITools.dll

Click OK. The tool icons of ATSCADA IWebAPI will appear in the Toolbox.

Add Reference

1. In the Solution Explorer window, right-click References → Select Add Reference…
2. Click Browse and navigate to the ATSCADA installation folder: C:\Program Files\ATPro\ATSCADA
3. Select the file Microsoft.Owin.Host.HttpListener.dll → Click Add → Click OK for ATSCADA IWebAPI integration.

Detailed Guide to ATSCADA IWebAPI Tools

Important Note: Always drag the iDriver tool onto the Form before using any other tools.

iWebAPI Tool

• Description: Drag iWebAPI onto the Form.
• Configuration Properties:
  • Driver: Select iDriver1.
  • Host: Enter the IP address of the running computer (for example: 192.168.1.122 or localhost).
  • Port: Set the port (for example: 8000 or 9000).
  • Username: Set the login username (for example: admin).
  • Password: Set the login password (for example: 123456).

• Test API with Postman:

Postman is a professional tool used to test API endpoints, including functions such as GET, POST, and more for ATSCADA IWebAPI.

Open Postman, then on the main interface select New.

Select HTTP

On the right interface, select the POST method and enter the API endpoint address based on the configuration previously set in iWebAPI: 192.168.1.122:9001/api/atscada/login.

Then switch to the Body tab, select raw, and choose JSON format.

After selecting these options, you will get the result as shown in the image below.

In the section below, enter the JSON file structure as illustrated for ATSCADA IWebAPI.

Sample JSON:

{
“Username”: “admin”,
“Password”: “123123”
}

Click Send to call the configured API endpoint. If successful, a token string will be returned in the Body tab below for ATSCADA IWebAPI.

This Token string is used to authenticate users when calling the API.

After obtaining the Token, we will test the GET method to retrieve registered values from ATDriver Server using ATSCADA IWebAPI.

Change the method from POST to GET and update the API syntax as follows:

192.168.1.122:9001/api/atscada

Then switch to the Authorization tab. Select Bearer Token as the Type, and paste the Token string obtained in the previous step into the Token field.

Then click Send to call the API endpoint. If successful, you will receive all data of the TagName values previously configured in ATDriver Server through ATSCADA IWebAPI, which can be used for AI time series forecasting.
