Mervis SCADA Project Generator

The Mervis SCADA Project Generator is a web-based utility designed to automate the creation of large-scale SCADA projects.

Instead of manually configuring thousands of data points, alarms, and history settings one by one, this tool allows you to generate complete project structures instantly using Excel sheets or configuration files.

The tool is available at: generator.mervis.info.

ACTION REQUIRED – Credentials and permissions setup: Every project must be generated with real Project Manager and Data Hub credentials in your arguments file (params.txt). The placeholder values --dataHubLogin TODO and --dataHubPass TODO are no longer supported. Both accounts also need the matching datanode permissions in the Portal (see the table below). For setup instructions, see the configuration guide.
Argument Account Required permissions
--pmLogin Project Manager Manage on all datanodes of the target domain
--dataHubLogin Data Hub GetValues to read values; additionally ExecuteCommand if the project also writes values

Key Features

  • Bulk Processing: Create thousands of datapoints, groups, and attributes in seconds.
  • Excel Integration: Map external data (such as Modbus registers or variable lists) to SCADA points using one or more .xlsx or .xls mapping tables.
  • Multi-Protocol Support: Generate projects from various sources including Mervis DB, Modbus TCP, SSCP, and Amit controllers.
  • Standardization: Ensure consistent naming conventions and unit transformations across your projects.

Interface Overview & How It Works

Below is the main interface of the Mervis Project Generator:

The Help and Examples buttons in the top right corner open the generator documentation.

The generator uses a simple workflow:

  1. Define Arguments: In the Arguments File section, click Select arguments file or drag and drop the file into the area. Only one .txt file is accepted; a new file replaces the current one. Alternatively, expand the Arguments section and enter your arguments directly in the text box.
  2. Add Mapping Tables: In the Mapping Table (Excel file) section, click Select mapping table files or drag and drop the files into the area. Accepted file types are .xlsx and .xls. You can add files repeatedly; they are processed in the order shown in the list.
  3. Generate & Download: Click Create project files and download to generate the project definition file and save it to your computer.
  4. Import to SCADA: Upload the resulting file into your Mervis SCADA portal to complete the process.
Note: If you use more than one mapping table, check the order of the list before generating, because it determines the processing order.
