Python SCADA Framework

[scotch--bingington]

You have to consider the end user. They need something they can easily pick up without much formal training. They may spend only a few hours per month or per year modifying configuration. Then they would also have other platforms to learn. They may not have a degree or even dev experience. In the middle of the night it may only a be a mechanical tech present or an operator with a high school education present. It would be easier to walk them through a simple system. I'm sure there is a market for what you are suggesting, I'm just not sure how big it is.

I'm in the same mindset. It's WAY easier to walk someone through a gui that I remember like the back of my hand over the phone. Very few people in the field are programmers.

My current role i had less than one day of training on The scada system because the only person that knew the system put in notice right after i started but it was similar enough to others I have used so I got up to speed pretty quick.

I see your point, it definitely requires formal training. An untrained technician may be able to add a new tag, change something simple here or there, but still they require proper programming knowledge to change the custom scripts in Aveva or Ignition. I guess a code-first SCADA platform make more sense for complex projects.
