.alm File Entry

There are a number of entries in the .alm file similar to the one below (with different tagnames) with no indication of source. Does this have something to do with the Historian (on a different server) not running at the time? Is this the collector trying to write data?

"2/22/2013 00:15:07.1 Adding tags failed for SR_AL_RT861_H"

Thanks,

Hi,

I am using MBE as I/O driver in our system communication with PAC8000 hybrid PLC. I am facing an issue with communication break very frequently as its a wireless network. So I need to configure PLC communication failure alarm in SCADA just to show that PLC is not polled by MBE I/O driver and the driver has stopped transmitting and receiving signals. It will be ??? on the process screen as communication fails. But according to client requirement we need to show the alarm in SCADA that MBE driver has stopped polling. Please help with the possible solution.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone let me know about any document covering the EGD configurations?

I'm trying to add a "Remote IO Target (PAC System Rx3i)" in PME but I'm confused with the default Logic routines (password protected), existing in new target e.g. EIO_140; FLT_140; MB1_140; MB2_140 and RCC_140.

I know nothing about these routines, please help me.

Historian 3.5 A&E and SQL Server 2008 R2

Has anyone successfully used SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard with the Historian 3.5 A&E database?

We are currently using SQL Server 2008 Express (not R2 Express) and have found a licensed copy of 2008 R2 Standard that we would like to use.

My initial research has shown that the literature for Historian 4.5 lists support for SQL Server 2008 R2, but I thought someone may have had success with an earlier version of Historian.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

OK - PME 7.50 is on it's way to me!
Just itching to try multiple cut and paste on FBD instructions and wires. Could it be this release? Ooooh the level of excitement could only be matched by the level of disappointment when it doesn't work...
Hopefully the columns are back in the Navigator Variable tab also.

Hi everyone,

I was looking for an script that generates an Excel file with the data and points that I wanted.

First, I used the forum "http://forums.ge-ip.com/showthread.php?t=12988" to generate a basic Excel. I just wanted to share a way to automatically generate a Chart in that Excel. If you have any questions, please tell me.

VersaPro Licence Transfer

$

Hello,

Can anyone please help me overcome a problem I've created when transferring a VersaPro licence using a floppy ?

This is the situation:

We have an old laptop with a faulty screen. It has the fully licensed copy of VersaPro Version 1.11 on board.

A new laptop was bought to replace the old one. I installed VersaPro on the new laptop and ran it up in trial mode with no problems. I then created a transfer floppy disk under the 'Register Now!' function.

A few days later I set up the old laptop and transferred the license to the floppy, again using 'Register Now!'. I powered up the new laptop and started the transfer in procedure but an error dialogue tells me that the licence is for another computer.

I tried to put the licence back on the original laptop but the dialogue tells me that I have not prepared the laptop for transfer.

I'm now stuck with no working laptop (the four day trial has expired) and a license on floppy that I can not use.

Has anyone had this experience or can help me in any way please ?

Automatic User Logout

Having a problem where my users forget to manually logout of iFIX 5.5 and exceeding my lincense count of 9. This prevents other users from logging on. Tried using Login Timeout (8 hours) under Security settings but that evidently doesn't log a user out and shutdown iFIX. Any ideas would be helpful, thanks.

Upgrade iFix 3.5 to ver 5.5

Hi,

We have several systems running ifix 3.5 and there are data exchange among the system due to different location of data collection.

Our client's direction is to migrate the OS to Windows 7 and hence I guess we will need to upgrade to ver 5.5. How can this be done and what are the concerns?

If we do it system by system, can the new system of 5.5 still perform the data exchange with other systems of ver 3.5?

Kindly assist.

Thanks.

Rx7i Import/ Export Issues

Hi all,

Do anyone know about some GE Document/Manual regarding Rx7i Variables import/ export guidelines or general issues occurring during import/export procedure.

I'm stuck with importing a modified (addresses only) .csv file into PME 7.0; PME 7.0 is stuck when .csv is imported to a specific target (Target1). The same file successfully imports to Target2.

I exported the HWC and all logic blocks of Target1 and then import these blocks and HWC back to a fresh application, the same .csv imported successfully.

it means I've some issue with Target1 not with .csv; does anyone know about such issue and its possible solution.???
