Hi All,

We have ifix 4.5 scada system for monitoring of substation. In new substation modification there will be system with siemens DCS and our ifix scada has to share it's data to DCS.(they have to see all our database tags)
Do I need some extra software (opc server or else)in order to share my database tags with third party system like Siemens Dcs or WinCC etc.

I don't have experience with OPC communications, so if there is any pdf document that explain this please share.

Thanks

DirectNet Driver for iFix 5.8?

I have a Koyo Direct Logic 205 Series DL240 CPU. It looks like my only comm protocol option is DirectNet. I'm using iFix 5.8 and the only driver I see is code PDN for Direct Logic 405 so I'm assuming this will not work.

Will this driver work for my CPU and/or is there another driver available that I can use?

Hi to all,
i have to develop a c# script that send email with all Points in alarm.
Actually i get all Points on the project with:

Code:
CimSystem cs = new CimSystem();
cimProject prj = cs.OpenProjectByName("PROJECT_NAME");
foreach(CimPoint cPoint in prj.Points)
{
  string pointId = cPoint.PointID;
}
And i get all Alarms with:
Code:
foreach(CimAlarm cAlarm in prj.Alarms)
{
  string messagle = cAlarm.AlarmMessage;
}
The main problem is that i cannot find a way to have the list of active alarm or the get if a point is in alarm.
Any ideas?

Is Access 2013 supported in the iFix 5.5 environment? I am trying to write a script to open an Access 2013 database in iFix but I do not have it formatted correctly or it's not supported. I tried to reuse the script for Access 2010 (of course changing the path) but it does not work.

Good morning,

I'm unsure if this is the correct category for this query so feel free to re-locate if necessary! I am using PME 7.5. The 3 buttons, (property columns view, docking mode and column list), are grayed out. Is there a way to enable or make them visible. I've searched the forum but can't seem to find anything else.

Thank you,

Cimplicity Installation Problems

September 16, 2015, 7:17 am

Hi All,

I've just tried installing Cimplicity v8.2 on my Windows 7 PC and I'm having a strange problem. During the installation it failed to register loads of .dll files. Can't understand why. Now when I try to start Workbench it just pops up an error message saying CfgCab has stopped working. Does anyone have any ideas what's gone wrong? I've tied uninstalling and reinstalling but the same thing happens. I've also tried running the installer on WinXP (using Virtual PC) and although it installs correctly when I try to open the project in Workbench it just shows a completely blank window, no file structure no files an no error messages; just blank.

I'm a bit lost as I've tried the obvious. I also have iFIX 5.8 installed but I doubt that's relevant.

Thanks in advance.

Cimplicity 8.2 multiple issues (looking like MASTER_PBx process) - please help

September 16, 2015, 11:51 am

All,

Major issues with Cimplicity HMI V8.2.

I will list all the symptoms and some history in the hope it tweaks someone's memory or provides enough clues to help me get this fixed quickly.

Visible Issues...
* Starting project from workbench, startup fails at Master_PB1 (after a few minutes, a messagebox appears stating "Cimplicity has not started yet" "Do you wish to continue waiting?")
* After a reboot (Cimplicity starting automatically), it is impossible to open an instance of CIMVIEW or CIMEDIT. The process is created but no UI ever appears. Only after killing Cimplicity processes can I open CIMEDIT.
* No scripts / events are running (probably as emrp does not launch until after MASTER_PBx processes)
* Launching BCEUI - the application UI appears but is instantly unresponsive (locked up / frozen)


History...
On the 24th August, the exact same visible issues were present. This occurred after a reboot following some server patching. Of all the patches installed, KB3078601 seemed the most likely as it had been mentioned HERE: http://support.ge-ip.com/support/ind...t=GLOBAL_ALERT
I removed this patch, rebooted & all was working again.
This morning (16th-Sep), at approx. 07:15, both projects just stopped! (No patches installed BUT some patches were downloaded at 07:05 - sitting waiting to be installed - coincidence I suspect)
Restarting server did not fix it.
Starting project manually causes the startup to sit at "MASTER_PB1" "Starting"
I have installed SIM37 this afternoon - still not working correctly.



Facts...
About - Installed Service Upgrades...
* Cimplicity HMI-8.2 0021
* Cimplicity HMI-8.2 0037
* Cimplicity HMI-8.2 0001
Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 on Intel Xeon (8GB)
Cimplicity is set to run as a service under System account
2 projects are set to run on launch (via Start-up) - upon reboot, only 1 project is listed as running (probably due to 1st not fully launching)


Notes:
* I have once gotten the project to launch by disabling Master_PB1
* I have once gotten the project to launch by disabling Master_PB0 ~ Master_PB6 then re-enabling all 7.
* If launching fails waiting on MASTER_PBx, killing the process pb_tp allows then next MASTER_PBx process to launch (and that also sits waiting). If I kill them all eventually emrp will launch and the startup completes. However, stopping the project, workbench reports "Timeout stopping CIMPLICITY". (the w32rtr process doesn't exit).
* I suspect the CIMEDIT/CIMVIEW issue is related to project service startup hanging (not completing)
* I have restored projects files from a previous day (from when it was working - same issue (MASTER_PB1 not fully starting))



Final words...
I could probably provide more info / screen shots / logs etc but I don't have unlimited time.
I am hoping someone here has experienced the main issue I see where upon project startup, you see "MASTER_PBx" "Starting" & eventually a message box stating "Cimplicity has not started yet" "Do you wish to continue waiting?")


Many thanks, Steve.

Hi,
iFIx pictures has customer list (around 50) as text links with open pic commands. This list needs to sort these text hyper links alphabetically (A-Z). They may change name or add more names in list occasionally. iFix don't have text sort option in Config mode.
How to accomplish this? Thx.

i have several client boxes that log in as a user. i need to know if that box is not cvonnected and display a status on a screen. in other words if someone unplugged "COMPUTER A", how would I check for this within terminal services ? each client is a remote session so i am not sure how to do this.
basically what i think i need to do is to check to see if each RDP is active ?

ClassFactory cannot supply requested class

I have an issue with an iFix v5.8 installation on my computer.
I want to install iFix v5.8, with v5.8 SP1 on my computer.

I restored an existing v5.8 HMI application to my computer, but each time I switch from configure mode to run mode, I receive the error message 'ClassFactory cannot supply requested class'.
The VBA points to my custom alstom.fxg module.

This application is running correctly on the production computer, but I can't make it run to my machine.

I can compile the alstom.fxg module in VBA without errors.
The customer alstom.fxg module is not showing any missing references.

I tried to deinstall and reinstall iFix.
I tried to perform a repair of iFix.

Nothing seams to fix the issue.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks,

iFIX 5.8 Classic Historian vs Historian for SCADA

I've got a small system (3 nodes) that I'm setting up. I've used the "Classic" (HTA) for systems like this in the past. Now that it has to be installed separately an it being in the legacy folder got me looking for the new way.

I see the license I have contains Historian for SCADA. I'm assuming this is the replacement? Is this a cut down version of the full blown Historian? Why isn't it included on the iFIX 5.8 CD (or am I just missing it?)

Question About Array Points In Cimplicity

September 18, 2015, 8:23 am

Hi guys!
Relatively fresh cimplicity user here, stuck on what seems like it should be a simple fix.

The problem is as follows:
I need to use an Array Point, BDG_TRKNG. This point contains 300 values each of which is either 0 or 1, basically to mark something as free or in use. I then have a script which attempts to cycle through the values of this array, stopping when it finds the first zero. The issue comes when trying to use PointGet to obtain the value of an Array Point.

PointGet works fine when passing a numerical index value, BDG_TRKNG[1] for example. However, there seems to be no way to read in an array point from a variable value. In other words BDG_TRKING[x] produces an error in the script, and no syntax I tried can get it to work. The user guide does not seem to have any solution to this. Is there a workaround to this problem, or is it a simple syntax error I'm not realizing?

Thanks!
Jordan
