Series 90-30 PLC Status bits

August 26, 2013, 12:57 pm

I have questions regarding the Series 90-30 PLC status bits:

1. %SC14 and %SC15 - They are labeled hardware fault and software fault respectively, but what exactly triggers them?

2. The above mentioned faults only clear when the fault tables have no entries. How can I provide a method for resetting fault tables for the user through the HMI? It seems that the only method is to use Proficy, which my customer does not have.

3. %SA11, Low battery fault, will not clear even after installing a new battery. Has anyone ever encountered this?

Using SQL to populate excel or access worksheet

Hello everyone,

How do you use SQL to create a recordset and use then use the contents of that record set to store in either excel or access?

My goal is to use a scheduler as a one shot which will store the current tag values into a spreadsheet every 5 minutes to provide an automated way of obtaining historical information and graphical analysis as opposed to manually selecting the time frame in the HTD and exporting it to a csv file.

Is there any literature on how this can be achieved using IFIX 5.5?

Thanks

Dialog box to write to device point

I am trying to write a script that allows a user to input text, and then write that text to a device point. I can get the text box to appear, and it accepts the text. I can't determine how to write the resulting value to my device point called, say, DEVICE1. I think this has to do with the value of Textbox1 (below) or DialogVariable.Identifier, as well as perhaps a Dim statement. The script so far follows...

Sub Main()
MyTitle$ = "Hello, World"
Begin Dialog MyTemplate 16,32,116,64,MyTitle$
OKButton 12,40,40,14
TextBox 3,6,80,80,.Textbox1,0
End Dialog
MyTitle$ = "Enter Train ID"
Dim dummy As MyTemplate
Dialog dummy
End Sub

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to restore a backup project from a client, and I have error messages everywhere!


If I try to restore the fbk file, it appears me a message box: "Bad file format. The archive file may be an old version or a wrong version in header signature or is not a Proficy iFIX backup file (.fbk)."

The client assure that he uses iFIX 5.5 x64. I have tried to restore it in a Windows XP and Windows7, and always the same.


If I try to open the SCU file, disabling the external nodes and standard alone.... when I try to run the project, appears a message: "Warning, unable to open STARTUP.LOG. No startup hitory will be written to disk."


The STARTUP.LOG is in the local folder, with this code:

Accessing array in cimplicity via igs (allen bradley ethernet)

Hello,

I would like have confirmation from an expert for the steps for accessing an array tag from Compactlogix5330ER to CIMPLICITY via IGS (protocol used is Allen Bradley Ethernet). Currently, I am unable to test this as the site is in a different country. Kindly help.

Steps to create & access an array including 50 elements of INT data type.

Step-1 ( on PLC) : Create an array tag in Compactlogix
Tag name - STATUS
Type - INT[50]

Step-2 (on IGS) : Create Tag in IGS
Tag name - IGS_TAG
Address - STATUS{50}
Type - Word

Step-3 (on CIMPLICITY): Choose Cimplicity driver - OPCClient
Create an Array tag
Tag name - CIM_ARRAY
Elements - 50
Address - IGS_TAG (Browsed via OPC driver

To read 6th element of this array in SCADA, variable to be used : CIM_ARRAY[5]

Please Confirm, if this steps are correct.

Some threads say that ''Writing" to an individual element of an array is not possible from Cimplicity. Is that correct?

Thank You :)

Dynamo in a VB Form?

August 28, 2013, 9:19 pm

Hello all, new to iFix but not new to scada systems...

I have about a week of iFix under my belt and am just curious as to if I can drop a dynamo set into a form from the VB editor?

I know this may be counter intuitive being I can just use the workspace and design my scada to "look" like vb forms, but I really like the look and feel of 'real" vb forms and the cleanliness appeal it has...

I have made a few db's that use something similar to this -

Me.frmSubForm.SourceObject = "frmNewForm"

and was curious as to wishful thinking as I can build my "scada" around VB with some custom dynamos dropped into VB forms...

I understand I can open customized forms from the workspace, but I almost want to go the opposite way, design it all in VB and a few "graphs" and dynamo sets in customized VB forms....

I have done a few searches and have come up empty handed...

There is a wealth of info here that is priceless!

Thanks for any advice,

Have heard from the local GE supplier that SSRS will be fully integrated above Historian and Plan Apps? is this accurate? and if so when will the official announcement be made as we have a new architecture riding on this?

So complex reports = PA

Controling Altivar71 VFD With RX3i via Modbus TCP Help

Hello,

I'm still new to the RX3i Processor and I'm struggling a bit.
I have to control an Altivar71 VFD Via Modbus TCP.
The RX3i processor (IC695CPE305) is paired with an ETM001 Module.
The VFD has a Modbus TCP Daisy Chain Ethernet Card (VW3A3310).
I have exchanged data with the drive using COMMREQ by accessing specific addresses in the drive, but this is proving difficult.
I was hoping that there was a better way to do this. :confused:
Fortunately I have everything I need setup to test with complete with Motor.


Thanks,

Suddenly getting this error "-2147182031 Access denied. Uer not registered at remote node."
I've read that this error pops up when security isn't enabled correctly.
However, this is on a client that has always worked before. I'm not sure what could have changed. I compared this client's security to other (working) client's security and they have exactly the same settings.

What am I missing?

btw - this is iFix 5.1 running on Win Server 2003.
