Trigger SQT all data

Hello!

It's a very commom and simple necessity. Couriosly we haven't found it anywhere...


We are using iFix 5.5 in Windows Server 2008 - 32bit. We're not using Proficy Historian. Instead, we use Oracle 11g to store all collected data in History tables.


Data received by MBE 7 driver (latest version) goes to PDB database and SQT/SQD triggers them to Oracle.

The problem: SQT only triggers based on VALUES, not EVENTS. Thus, only when the tag value changes it is triggered to Oracle. However, we must send ALL incoming data to Oracle, even if it is the same as previous.

Any simple idea?

Step by Step - iFIX 3.5 to latest version ??

BCL / CimEdit : Strict On ???

I may be the victim of having learned too many (programming) languages.

Does BCL support some type of "STRICT ON" statement that forces you to define all your variables and throws an error if you don't?

MDO block question

I have an MDO type blocvk defined with the scan time set at 0.20 and a duty cycle of 1
the signal is supposed to remain high for 200 ms then go off but it doesnt at the 200 ms interval. I put a datalink on the screen and saw the signal go to a 1 but about 2.4 seconds later it goes to zero. i verified this was a third party trace analyzer. this seemed to work before we added a bunch of signals. Our database now has 48000+ signals. anyone know what may be cause the signal to stay high for so long ?

Hi Forum

How to map Cimplicity point to a Machine Edition "User Defined Types"? using PDS (Proficy Driver Server)

I just found out that, I can not even publish an instance of User Defined Type in Machine edition

do I need a translation module that maps ordinary machine edition variables into my UDT, and interface with those ordinary machine edition variables in Cimplicity?

Thanks

Hi Forum

or, How to publish variables inside a instance of UDT as "External Read/Write"

during build process, the discrete variables inside my UDTs "cannot be published as External, Change to Internal"
interestingly the non discrete variables can be published as External Read/Write
All discrete or non discrete variables can be published as External Read Only tho

do I need a translation module that maps ordinary machine edition variables into my UDT, and interface with those ordinary machine edition variables in Cimplicity?

Simulating Control Loop in iFIX

$

Hi,

I am trying to do a simulation on my stand alone PC using the SIM driver. I want to do a control loop (using the PID or just subtracting a control variable from a setpoint tag) and as long as I do not have a loop, I can simulate whatever I want. But if I have a closed loop, the SW seems to get confused and I get "Bad Data" or just doesnt behave as it should. I am using an AO out with the same address as an AI and based on the AI compared to a setpoint, changing the AO. Is this posiible in the iFIX SIM or do I need some initial condition to get it started?? Also I looked at the Sample program and it does not use the PID and it does not look like they do an actual control loop.

Thanks

limit Excel add-in to read only?

Is there a way to limit the Excel add-in to only read data?
We have a process guy (Black Belt no less) who is pushing to get to use the add-in for extracting data for reporting purposes. Well we also don't trust him to limit his use to that. Modifying tags could be an issue. He also wants to use this on several (9) PC's in the production area. I am concerned that others will then have access through the Excel add-in.
He says EL Reporter tested works but doesn't function as desired. But no explanation so far as to the issue.
So, any thoughts on read-only?

Hi,
I have found this code example for Cimplicity 8.2, but I con not see the script inside the project:

code case: KB15659
link: http://support.ge-ip.com/support/ind...d217d09f007adc


I'd like to use a "standard" screen where I just change the reference of the points, to be able to manage a lot of motors without to create a screen for each motor.

Somebody can help me?

Thanks
