I am using e-sig on a DI to verify the user has rites to start a process.
Is it possible to collect the user name from the e-sig function and write it to the A_CV of string type tag?

Hi all,
I'm working with PAC 8000 for the first time.
I have received a quote from a local vendor and specially charging for panel wiring saying that PAC 8000 needs special wiring and will take 10-15 days
No. of IO's: 50 (16 X 2 DI + 16 X 2 DO).
Do PAC 8000 really have special wiring? Is there any file where I can find the wiring?
Thanks in advance...

I have created a screen menu screen... a popup that has selection buttons to choose from all the primary screens in my project (Cimp 8.2 SIM 19). What I am looking for is a way to close this screen when any of the buttons to open another is pressed, so that the menu screen does not remain open after the other screen is opened; our operators have a habit of not noting that the menu screen is already open, and opening another instance, and pretty soon you have a dozen instances of the menu screen open! I have tried adding the Close Screen procedure to the selection buttons On Mouse Up, but that apparently doesn't cut it. I am to the point that it looks like it is going to take a script embedded in the screen to accomplish what I am after. I am relatively new to scripting, but can anyone shed any light on this?
As a second issue (I know I am pushing it here), there must be a way to keep from opening another instance of a screen that is already open... another script?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I am currently working in a project where an aged iBatch system should be updated to the latest version of Proficy Batch Execution.
There is also an additional "add-on" software interacting with iBatch via its database tables. We have the source code for this software.
The question is: When upgrading iBatch to the latest version, what changes will there be to the database structure? If we know these changes, we will also know how to modify the add-on software.
Is there any documentation on the DB structure changes between system versions?
Thanks in advance,
Magnus

Hi everyone!
I have a simple question that I don't know if is it possible to do it with iFIX!
I have a Tag that values from 0 to 25, and I would like to asign a Label for each state (0 -> offline, 1 -> open....). I have tried the MDI block, but it only allows me to put 7 inputs....
Is there any way to make a dynamic Label to switch analogic values to Labels?
Thanks a lot!!

I have several old DisplayStation 2000 HMI units running the same project. One of them recently experienced a hard drive crash. We had a spare, new in box, on the shelf. I fired it up, copied the HMI project files to it and ran the project; I immediately got a message that the project was created with a newer version. Checking the version on the original machine that is still operating shows it is running version 5.5; the Cimplicity version on the DisplayStation 200 that we had on the shelf was original as received from GE with version 4.01. The original integrator is long since out of business, and while they left us with the original project files, both for the PLCs and the HMI projects, they did not provide the original Cimplicity installation CD, or a copy of it.
I have every version of Cimplicity from 6.1 through 8.2, and also the OEM 4.01 CD that was boxed with the DisplayStation, but not 5.5. Any ideas as to where I might be able to come up with the installation files for this version? I downloaded the v5.5 SP3 files from GE website, but running it tells me that I need to have v5.5 installed already for these to work. I even considered installing 6.1, but the DS2K is an NT4 box, and I'm not sure if 6.1 will run on NT. 5.5 is the preferred path.
Thanks in advance...

I've been running Cimplicity 6.1 Service Pack 6 for some time on this server, and using the OPC server. Recently, we installed a new OPC client, and have been seeing the OPC Server quit updating data after several days. The project and points can be seen, but the values stop updating. After stopping the OPC Server task and allowing it to restart, the values are again available.
The point manager appears to be sending updates to the OPC Server, because after the problem occurs, we get numerous faults logged that indicate that the application message queue has overflowed (procedure ptmrp_get_ap_msg code 1, reference 24). This issue clears after the OPC Server is stopped and restarted.
I am not aware of any OPC Server logs that are available by default.
Any suggestions on where to look? I am currently looking at turning the OPC debugging on.

I have been messing with something similar to this -

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

I have a group of objects ( a button) that has some objects within a group. It is configured as a smart object so a dialog pops up and they can identify what type of button it is. (1-4) There are objects I want to send to back if the number is a 4. This works fine during runtime because I can use visibility property but I want to be able to show the configured button during cimedit.
Any ideas ?

I'm using a VersaMax CPUE05 and talking to a Siemens MP270 HMI through serial ports. I can make the communications work just fine. But in making the system "dummy" proof, I found an issue. If I cycle power on the enclosure, the PLC is back up and running in 5 to 10 seconds. The HMI takes a good minute or so to boot and get into the run mode. The issue is the communications doesn't automatically initiate. In order to make the comms work again, I have to connect my laptop to the PLC, and stop the scanning. Then in a couple second delay, communications begins again. Then I put the CPU back in the run mode and all is good again. I need to setup the system so it auto-resets the comms to make the system work.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I tried to use a View HMI, but there is no functional "PRINT" function. This is the reason for the Siemens HMI.
Thanks,
Michael
