Limit to querying the historian.

Hi All,

I am running a query for numerous tags on the historian using the historian interactive SQL tool.

Is there a limit to the number of tags it will return values for as I have 100 tagnames and historian will return results for them all. If I add 1 more to take it to 101 it just omits the last tag I added.

Thanks in advance.

Problem with IGS Configuration backup

Hi to all,

I just have the problem, that I would like to copy the IGS Configuration from one server to another one (redundancy partner).

When I started, I only uses one channel and could do this by export/import of CSV.

But now I am using several channel and this is no longer a good way.
As well, I get the impression, that I may did not save any changes of the system in matter of the IGS.

I also try to copy the folder in the C:\users\all users\GE ....
but this does not work as well.

Backup the IGS -Project with save as to a folder and reload it on the second computer did not work as well (:mad:).

How can I make a project backup of the IGS with all settings.

Typical situation:
I am on side and have to do some changes and need a backup for my home-simulation.

Thanks for any help.

Alarm Horn: Terminal server and remote clients

Dear Forum;
I have a terminal server with no sound capabilities.
When I run iFIX in this server locally...no audible alarms, this is clear.

I open a Windows session to this server, I can play the Windows sounds in my sessioni.e. startup, stop, error, etc.

When I launch iFIX in this remote machine I wasn't able to hear the sound.
In the SCU file hosted in TS Horn for this node is ENABLE.

Do I have to have a sound card/buzzer/speaker in the terminal server to hear the alarms in the client node?

Regards

Dynamo Ifix 5.8

Hi,

I want to create a dynamo where i use a tag for an animation of the colour and i use the same tag to attach on an datalink.

For the colour animation i use the property field .F_CV and for the datalink .A_PRIM.

Because it are 2 different property fields, the user promp actually wants 2 different tagnames.

Is there a work arround that i can use only 1 user prompt tag and that it automatically adds the .A_PRIM and .F_CV??


Already thanks!

We have multi-lingual scada.

There is no problem with translating fixed string. But how can I transalte when a string takes an expression (variable) ?

I mark "Transalte result value" but when I "Emit text", the possible result values doesn't appear on the cml file.

VersaMax communication suddenly fails, cannot reconnect

November 17, 2015, 2:19 pm
$

Hello everyone,

We are having communication issues with our VersaMax Micro IC200UDR164 through Proficy Machine Edition. As background, it is currently connected through Port1 with a RS232-RJ45 connector, and Port2 with an Ethernet-to-RS232 module. For our setup, we typically connect through Port2 while Port1 is used as a fallback device if the Ethernet module fails or if the PLC loses its configuration settings. There is also an analog module, but it doesn't seem to be relevant to this problem.

The PLCs in question were working fine -- connected through Port2 -- when suddenly the PLC stopped responding during an attempt to program the PLC. Additional attempts to go online through Port2 failed, so communication to the PLC was switched to Port1. That failed as well -- which is rare, since I can't think of a scenario in which Port1 through the serial port doesn't work.

I have tested the following thus far to no avail:
- Letting the PLC sit for several days to let the super-cap discharge, thus potentially resetting any corrupt configuration settings
- Switching COM ports
- Using a known good RS232-RJ45 cable
- Using a known good computer
- Removing the Ethernet module
- Toggling the Run switch
- Using GE's serial port diagnostics utility (No response whatsoever, not even an error message)

None of the LEDs are blinking (PWR and OK are solid green) either.

The only thing that I haven't tried is shorting out the super-capacitor manually, which would involve removing the PLCs from their enclosures in order to directly access the supercap by the vent holes.

Is there anything else I should try before this last resort?

Thanks!

Does anybody has some experience in making animations through scripting?

I found a little manual from GE and this is what i have, but unfortunately, it doesn't do anything.

Somebody that sees were i'm going wrong?


Private Sub CFixPicture_Initialize()


Dim obj As Object
Dim blnIsConnected As Boolean
Dim lngstatus As Long
Dim lngIndex As Long
Dim lookupObject As Object
Dim strPropName As String
Dim strFullName As String


Rect9.IsConnected "ForegroundColor", blnIsConnected, lngIndex, lngstatus


If blnIsConnected = True Then
Rect9.Disconnect "ForegroundColor"
End If


If (TypeName(lookupObject) = "Nothing") Then
Set lookupObject = Rect9.BuildObject("lookup")
End If

lookupObject.AddLevel 0, 255, 1
lookupObject.AddLevel 1, 65535, 2
lookupObject.ExactMatch = True
lookupObject.SetSource "TEST1.F_CV", True


strFullName = lookupObject.FullyQualifiedName & ".OutputValue"
Rect9.Connect "ForegroundColor", strFullName, lngstatus

End Sub


Many Thanks!

NSD Tags withouth Enhanced Failover

November 18, 2015, 8:23 am
$
0

Hello all,

I am just looking for a basic response on a question I can not find the answer to...

Do the NSD tags (specifically f_switchscadarole) exist to the developer WITHOUT the Failover option enabed in the SCU, or do these tags ONLY exist when Failover is enabled?

Reason I ask is the idea has been toyed with that we can control the "ACTIVE" "STANDBY" aspect of scada failover without "Enhanced Failover" enabled (making/controlling our own failover between scadas)...

I just want to make sure this is actually doable before others start asking me to take this route...

Thanks!

This may sound silly to ask and I did search the Historian forum before posting this but how do you point Historian Admin Client to a different Historian server? It's not obvious. I had trouble with the Help documentation as well. It would seem a trivial thing. Help!

Hi,

I am working on a converting of a iFix program from S7A (item <device>:AS 0) to IGS and try to find a possibility to get the CPU state of a S7
by the IGS driver.

Just to get the information if the PLC is running or not.

Normally I would use a watch dog bit, but in this special case I can not
make any changes in the PLC (validation!).

Thanks for any help.

Open a hyperlink using local browser

Hi,

I have created a screen in ifix which has a button to open a hyperlink. I have deployed this to our web server and when I click the button the hyperlink opens. The issue is that it seems to use IE8 (i can only guess it uses the server version of IE).

Is there anyway to force it to use the local version of IE.

The script I am using is as follows.

Code:
Dim theWebsite As String
    theWebsite = "http://apps/historicaloptimiser"

    Dim lVar As Long
    Dim Result
   
    lVar = GetFocus()
    Call ShellExecute(lVar, "Open", theWebsite, vbNullString, vbNullString, 5)

Hello, I am a new user of iFix and I wonder if apart of standard dynamo elements there are some additional graphical elements available as external databases or sth else. To be honest a standard dynamo database isn't so large as a e.g. Intouch's database e.g. there isn't arrows database etc.
