Overload on power supply

Hi all:

This is about a PACSystem main controller rack.

I have my power supply IC695PSA040 overloaded. 105.98% percent used

the HW config is on a 12 slot rack and the modules installed are the power supply, CPU==> IC695CPU320
3xETM==> IC695ETM001
2XCMM==> IC695CMM02
2XANALOG==>IC695ALG600
1XANALOG OUT==>IC695ALG808
SLOT 12 IS EMPTY

I do not know if I may miss something. I am looking at my power supply properties under inspector but I do not see any overload on individual supplies. 3.3V is about 705 and 5V is 72%. so I wonder why I get this total 105% used power?!
any idea or solution guys?

iFix 5.5: Problems with displaying System.CurrentTime

Hello,

I have running a picture with a Dynamic Setting of

System.CurrentDate + " " + System.CurrentTime

Data Format "left", "Alpha-Numeric" and 22 Chars

This display is running on 4 machines and it will stop work on random time on each machine.

I could not find any reason for this and I have also all actual sims install.

There is no other malfunction to see up to now.

Thanks for help.

Best regards

Incorrect Alarm Area Totals

I'm using the alarm area total (fix32.scada.area.A_AREA_TOT) to visually display on a map when a piece of equipment is in alarm. Currently one of my alarm area totals is showing a value of 26 alarms. When I pull up the alarm viewer, however, there are no alarms (unacknowledged or otherwise) displayed in that area.

Shouldn't the A_AREA_TOT be 0 if there are no alarms in an area? What resets this total?

Cimplicity Freeze

We are experiencing application crash issues on an older Cimplicity 6.10 system. The system is scheduled for upgrade in conjunction with another project but needs to continue to run in the mean time. We find the system frozen and there are two alarms indicated on the frozen screen that appear to have come in before it froze:

"(Date and Time) Process EM_RP Terminated on (Computer) Process Name MAC_EMRP"

"(Date and Time) ALARM M . . . Process MASTER_PTMO_RP Terminated on (Computer Name)"

The system reboots fine and once the alarm is acknowledged it goes away completely with no trace in the LOG file. Also, no messages in any of the Windows event logs coincident to the event.

The system is running AVG, are there known incompatibilities between AVG and Cimplicity?

Hi all,

We are old school here and using Cimplicity 4.01. on a machine. There are currently a couple thousand recipes on the machine that can be called up and loaded. It seems certain recipes when loading will not load and you get the following error. Error loading file error code 34 . I looked in the Cimplicity help file but nothing really exists for this error. Any thoughts on what this error is or how to find what it is. Thx

Hello,

I'm using ME Proficy View 7.5 with an HMI to monitor 25 different temperatures, all the temperatures are being logged and I can view them in the program TrendX but sometimes TrendX shows a flat line like there has been no measuring or logging. While on a other computer where I have access to the same data TrendX shows no flat lines. Any have an idea what can be wrong?

call '/Keypad ' from the screens

I am trying to use the Cimplicity Built-in /keypad function. Is there a way to call this keypad through instead of command line argument.

As we have lot of Viewers deployed already, and I want to enable the keypad function with the default layout changed in …\Proficy CIMPLICITY\Data\gefkeypad.cfg.

As I would like to avoid updating the viewer PCs, wondering if there is an alternative to call the keypad directly from the screens.

I have a Rx7i CRE030 (redundant) and one of the CPUs comes up with:
---------- Verifying ----------
---------- Hardware Configuration ----------
MASTER HARDWARE CHECKSUM NOT EQUAL
cpuredundancyconfig.ppg NOT EQUAL
Remaining Hardware Configuration items are equal.


When I do a verify equality.
FW v6.01, PME v7.00 SIM 12

But when I do a download on my test setup in stop mode it is no different (ie still no different).

Has anyone seen something similar or have any ideas?

Modify Current Time and Date

Hi!

I just have a silly question this time!

I have made a small Scripting that changes the current Time and Date.


Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim password As String
Dim new_date As String
Dim new_time As String

password = InputBox("Enter password")
If password = "DATE" Then
    new_date = InputBox("Enter new date")
    System.CurrentDate = new_date
    new_time = InputBox("Enter new time")
    System.CurrentTime = new_time
End If


End Sub

The code changes the current date and time, but the next second it turns back to the actual date/time. I can't find the option to disable that iFIX reads the actual date/time from my PC!!

Thanks again!!

How GECssOPCServer can serve data from different HMIs ?

I am an IT person and I need to understand the server diagram.
This post may sound vague but please feel free to correct me.
We have three GE HMIs. Earlier we had three opc servers on each of them.
Now there is a GECssOPCServer on each of the HMIs. This single OPC server can be used to get data from all HMIs.

When I browse the GECssOPCServer, there is folder structure. I can see three folders for each HMI ( and there are couple more which I think are generic ).

I need to know, what is GECssOPCServer and how it is configured ? Is there any network diagram ? I need to update my visio diagram.
The plant personnel at our site haven't been helpful.

Thanks

Problems with user in Globalview

Hi,

I have a problem with one user to log in Globalview.

We have installed Cimplicity 8.2 with SIM 19, and we have 5 licenses of Globalview. To allow people to log in, IT department has configured one user in domain with restricted permisions (this user can read/write into project folders). All have correctly worked for a long time, but one day someone has blocked the user. IT department has unblocked that user but never has worked again Globalview with that user. If you use another user with same permissions it works fine.

Anyone knows if some register can be corrupted into Globalview server, or how to solve this situation?

Thanks,

How to force a WriteValue to act immediately?

Hi,

In one of my Fixbackgroundserver VBA script, I use a WriteValue routine to reset a DI stored in SIM2 and then I launch another function which test the value of this DI.

My problem is that sometimes the DI value is still set when I test it into the function because the WriteValue hasn't been done yet.

Is there a way to force the writing?

I've been thinking about doing a ReadValue just after the write and loop until it has the right value but I'm afraid of falling into an infinite loop if iFix is unable to write for any reason...
