## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3258, "days_push": 1328, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A lightweight C# SCADA framework and industrial gateway for .NET Framework that supports major industrial protocols like Modbus, Siemens S7, OPC DA, AB EtherNet/IP, and Omron. It provides data acquisition, historical archiving, alarm triggering, and a WPF-based HMI designer plugin for Visual Studio.

## Use cases
- build a lightweight industrial data acquisition gateway
- create HMI screens with drag-and-drop graphics in Visual Studio
- collect and archive PLC tag data to SQL Server
- set up variable-triggered alarms for industrial equipment
- connect to Siemens, Modbus, OPC DA, or AB EtherNet/IP devices
- configure drivers, groups, variables, and alarms with a tag configuration tool

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight open-source SCADA/HMI solution on Windows with .NET Framework
- your project uses supported protocols like Modbus TCP/RTU, Siemens S7, or OPC DA
- you want to build custom HMI components in C# with WPF and Visual Studio designer support
- you need data archiving and alarm features backed by SQL Server

## When to avoid
- you need cross-platform or .NET Core/5+ support (only an experimental test version exists)
- you require OPC UA, DDE, or Mitsubishi drivers (planned but not released)
- strong security features are a hard requirement (the project acknowledges security is lacking)
- you need an actively developed project with frequent updates
