Is IOControl.exe required to start the IGS driver or can you set the IGS services to Automatic and not use IOControl?

Inquiry with iFix addressing

$
0
0
I have a new problem with my project. I'm working with iFix software and OPC ServerProficy. I'm also using an Applicom PROFIBUS card for communication. The card is Applicom PCI-15000PFB. I had to create the OPC file for the directions that are already stablished in PROFIBUS. The addressing follows this format:



APPLICOM;CP33CL03;CP33CL03.DB45DW49_100;No Access Path; [0];/0



This address communicate with a PIC animation that has the addresing of :



Fix32.CP33CL03.ENTRTON3_F.120



(Note: This address works properly with the PROFIBUS original addressing which is : 3D45:49:0)



Here comes my problem. The animation is not reacting to this addressing,the animation is blinking and I don't understand why.



I did a few experiments with the address but I want to communicate properly without changing the animation's addr to F_CV.



Do you have any idea of what should I do?



Regards.

PE not communicating to Rx3i %L

$

We have a PE project currently running (8.2,Sim14)reading %L registers (point by address) points off a Rx7i (7.5 Sim6)without ant problems. We are working on upgrading the PLC to a 305 Rx3i. The PLC logic was converted to Rx3i without any problems. Once we connected the Rx3i to the PE project (device was change to Rx3i)the screens with %L points will not talk. When we do a point view on this screen everything comes up with green checks. Any ideas!!!!!!

90/30 PID Block Variable Invalid Data Type

$

I have an 90/30 364 program with 3 PID blocks. I cannot get the softrware equal between the CPU and PC. I get many Error 8055 for these used PID variables. In the variable table I have self created 3 PID Block Structures that the array length is 0 and it has an invalid data type which I cannot change the data type or delete the variable. I am using ver 8.0 sim #5. How do I clean this up so I can get equal with the CPU?

VBA Objects and Methods

$
0
0
Hi All,

A bit of a wide ranging question here and I'm sure it has been asked before.
I am trying to do a bit of VBA code which requires that I pull code and scripts out of forms placed in the pictures.! I can take the code out of the pictures (that is what the GlobalSearchAndReplace toolbar does). However getting the code from the VBA forms is slightly different. Anyone familiar with iFix and scripting will probably know why I am asking this.
The Mastering iFix PDF and other documents that tell you about scripting explain the basics and some even go as far as a objects on pictures eg. containedobjects, findobject etc.
However none, as far as I can tell go into the deeper objects and methods. eg. FixScriptGlobal.VBE object.
Look at this line of code:

VBE.ActiveProject.VBComponents.CodeModule.CountOfL ines

I found this in another toolbar search and replace code.
How do you find these objects and methods? Someone must have read somewhere that CountOfLines is a property of CodeModule which is a object of VBComponents etc.

Is there a hidden document somewhere that is only available to iFix developers or something.
Sorry about the rant but having been involved in Fix development now for the best part of 14 years it is starting to get at me.

Dynamo Partial Substitution

$

0
Can anyone let me know how to put the following into a dynamo using partial substitution so that the INT and everything after the tagname is included, and only the nodename/tagname are required by the dynamo:

INT (Fix32.SCADA.TEST_FLOW.F_EHI * 0.75)

Using "INT ({Analyzer}.*" for the prompt, I have been unsuccessful. I can get everything but the closing parenthesis to be included in the dynamo:

INT (Fix32.SCADA.TEST_FLOW.F_EHI * 0.75

Any other tricks for partial substitution?

Thanks!

Set Monday as Start of week instead of Sunday

$

This seems like it should be basic...:confused:
I am unable to find where to set Monday as the First day of the week.
Even if I alter the "Named Times" the code still interprets Sunday as Day1.
So if i view my report on Sunday....my week to date figures are all screwed up because it thinks I'm in a new week....:mad:

1/2 the world use Monday to Sunday so surely it can be set somewhere??



No-one seems to respond to this useless forum, but I thought I'd try anyway.
Must say ge-ip support is pretty crap for the amount you pay for it!!

I am getting the below errors when trying to run the project with Tracker configuration.

Error in ipc_xlate getting physical addr of: PRT_DC
xlat - no known translation srv>PRT_DC
Error in ipc_xlate getting physical addr of: PRT_DS
xlat - no known translation srv>PRT_DS

Any idea what could be the reason?

I have tried deleting the Routes and Graphics display configuration, still not successful.

I just have only "region" information, but not working.

Any suggestions on where to check for this?

View OPC Server with Cimplicity

$

Hello,

We managed to communicate a Cimplicity 8.2 project to several QuickPanels using the View OPC server as directed in KB14684. I would like to know if I should or if it is better to configure each QuickPanel on different devices on Cimplicity.

I am having issues with the communication... After the project starts, all the points start updating slowly and after they all show with good quality and update normaly (unsolicited) for a few minutes, suddenly all of the points from one of the QuickPanel turn to bad quality and soon after this all other points from the other QuickPanels do the same. No errors or timeouts show in the project log nor the OPC logs. Only that point "Quality is bad" and "Cimplicity marking point unavailable". Has anyone had this problem before? :confused:

In our K4_M_LOADCONTROL.grf, Datalink38 property is as follow.
Datalink38-Format94(CFixFormat)-SOURCE= Fix32.FIX.LOAD_TGT_OUT.F_CV

My question is "if current value of Fix32.FIX.LOAD_TGT_OUT.F_CV is equal to 50 in above code, I would like to change current value 50 of Fix32.FIX.LOAD_TGT_OUT.F_CV. to the value 45 of Fix32.FIX.LOAD_TGT_OUT.F_CV"

For this,
Below code of property source that generally used in other language isn't work in iFIX program.
(Fix32.FIX.LOAD_TGT_OUT.F_CV=50)?45;Fix32.FIX.LOAD _TGT_OUT.F_CV

What should I do to change 50 to 45?
or What should I do to implement operation like following code in iFIX?
(Fix32.FIX.LOAD_TGT_OUT.F_CV=50)?45;Fix32.FIX.LOAD _TGT_OUT.F_CV

Please help me asap.
