Hello im currently trying to bring in a type of watchdog for our plcs in our scada system(this is not best practice but im only doing this for a visual alarm) im having problems with the timer block because the timer block cant seem to have a previous tag always at 1.Heres is what i have at the moment
DI - To Scada (DI and DO work in a way that the bit always goes from 0-1)
DO- To PLC
Timer Block- That i use the DO to reset the timer so the timer counts up and resets everytime the DO passes from 0 to 1
But The previous block used in the timer block i dont want it to come from the plc i want it to a internal bit in the scada thats always sitting at 1..... ive tried a bolean block thats always 1 but the timer doesnt seem to accept it as a previous block.
Any help would be of great service.
Sorry for poor grammar or ponctuation my language is french.

Hi, This is my first post here. I have made Cimplicity screens before, but I am relatively new to it, and I am trying to upgrade our HMI system from version 6.1 with many individual viewer licenses to version 9 with terminal services.
I want to make a license server (or possibly 3, one for each area, depending on how reliable they are), and I need to know if I need to buy any GE software or licenses to put on the License Server VM itself. For instance, do I need some kind of license server license for each license server? Do I need a GE Cimplicity Viewer or Developer License on each license server?
Is the GE Licensing program free? Do I just download it from their site? What else do I need installed on the license server for Licensing to work?
Thank you,
Daniel McHale

Sorry for the Trivial Question,
But I can not help but wonder What does "BEM" stand for in a Genius Bus Controller's name: IC697BEM731

Hi. I posted this question in the general thread, before I realized Licenses questions are supposed to be asked here.
This is the link to the original question:

Basically, I want to know what I need to have on a Cimplicity 9 License Server.

I had Cimplicity9.0 installed on PC. I upgraded PC from Win8.1 to Win10.
Now I want to uninstall cimplicity but it says you need to install .NET4.5.
If I try to install .NET4.5 it says can not install as higher version of .NET
is already installed as part of your windows.
Secondly, I am not getting SQL server2012 connectivity test successful.
Can anybody help me out on these issues?
Greetings!

Hello,
I have a really problem by the base installation of iFix 5.5.
During a standard installation (selecting Customer installation),
windows is crashing during installation of the HASP driver. This was the last item I saw in the installation window, before the machine crash.
I have done this on two server machines and on both the installation crashed.
After a restart of the machine, on is crashing after trying to start the HASP Aladdin driver and one is not crashing.
But on both machines, iFix is not installed!
How can I get out of this situation ?
Best regards
Richard

Hello again message board...
I need to know if there is a easy way to "append" new rows to a TGD file...
I know how to open/manipulate/save current TGD entries/substitutions, but I need a way to append "new" rows to the end of the TGD file and save it off...
Is this possible?
I am starting to accumulate a large amount of TGDs and opening each one just to add a few rows to the bottom is becoming time consuming when the customer keeps "piece mealing in" onesie twosie data points...
Any advice helps!
Thanks

v5.8
If I create a datalink for an AI tag and use the A_CV field (because its a 7+ digit number and I want the commas) the displayed datalink has a great deal of dead space to the left of it. This is readily apparent when you use an opaque background.
This doesn't happen using an F_CV field, just the A_CV.
Is there an established way to deal with this or am I the only one that's ever seen/used it.

Hi all
I really have a lot of problems getting my iFix application to read strings i the PLC.
im using:
- iFix v 5.8
- IGS driver 7.511
- ControlLogix L71 PLC (firmware 21.11)
In the IGS driver im using the dynamic tag functionality and i have no problems reading all my other tags, but when it comes to Strings i only get ????
IGS setup:
Channel = S8102
Device = L71
TAG in database manager is a TX with the following I/O address:
S8102.L71.SHMI_RFIDLEFTBAG_CURRENTUUID.DATA/82@String
Can anyone help me setting the dynamic tags for string up correctly it will me most appreciated :)
Thx MPE

I am connecting to an Allen-Bradley PLC (CompactLogix 5300) via Proficy Machine Edition, to display and update via quickpanel +
The PLC has already been programmed and some of the tags are integers (or double integers) with individual bit settings. When I import the autogenerated tags to set up the variables, I can only see the integers, not the bits. Could anyone tell me the best way to access these bits?
Thanks in advance for any help

Hello,
I have some datalinks linked to AI blocks that occasionally display -0 instead of 0 and will sometimes even drift into the negative numbers. I believe this is because I have them scaled -100 to 100 which I have to do because of the source device, the source device outputs -5v to +5v instead of the typical 0-5v. Is there a way to take the datalinks and make them so that the lowest they can show is 0?
Edit: Second question:
Is it possible to take the average value of an analog input over a period of time and alarm if that value goes over a high limit? I made an ETR block to constantly read an AI and average it over a 24 hour period but I don't know where to go from there or if I'm even on the right track. I only need to see an alarm if the average of that tag goes over a certain limit.
Thank you.

Doing a conversion of a 9070 to RX3i. It only has four genius bus controllers. The issue is trying to use the two Horner OIUs that are each connected to a Genius bus. The hardware configuration shows these horner OIUs (HE693OIU907) as a "GENI BASED - Genius Network Interface Global Data" device. This device is not available under the RX3i.
I might add these Horner OIUs communicate on the Genius Bus, and not SNP on the serial port.
Has anyone been able to use the old Horner OIUs on Genius with the RX3i?
Any ideas on getting it to work?
Thank you,
Mark

Hi All,
I would like to read the NSD tag through ODBC client i.e through Fix dynamics real time data
but I can see only the tag as A_tag = NSD and a_Name - 240 but cannot read the node as active or standby

Dear Forum
In iFIx 5.1
It seems that I can set alarm services enable/disable indifferently in the SCADA server or iClient.
What are the best practices?

Good Day All,
I'm trying to develop an object oriented approach to make a common popup for multiple Analog Inputs.
I've tried to use below script, but having issues.
The script runs fine when we open the popup for first time (After starting the RunTime) either its Analog1 or Analog2, but calling the popup for other valve updates the variables with the values of previous one.
All I want is to update the INPUT, MULTIPLY & OUT variables updated with corresponding variables; for ANALOG 1 IN_1, MUL_1 & OUT_1 and IN_2, MUL_2 & OUT_2for ANALOG2. So that I could set the values from Popup and read the output for each object individually.
IF COUNT = 1
PLC.IN_1 := INPUT
PLC.MUL_1 :=MULTIPLY
PLC.OUT_1 :=OUT
StringCopy TAG,"ANALOG 001"
ENDIF
IF COUNT = 1
PLC.IN_2 := INPUT
PLC.MUL_2 :=MULTIPLY
PLC.OUT_2 :=OUT
StringCopy TAG,"ANALOG 002"
ENDIF
The StringCopy command is working fine.

Hello,
I would like to know how to set up traps when for example, you close the cimview.
The OS is Win7 (which doesn´t have the trap sender all other windows have) and it should be able to send traps through a network.
We don´t have a budget so can´t buy any fancy software.
I haven´t found a solution yet.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

Dear Forum;
We have iFIX 5.5 .
In our pdb we have SIM registers based blocks.
In"ancient" tmes SIM were not synchronised in both primary and secondary databases.
Now...Are those blocks synchronised?
