Cimplicity 6.1 SP5 Crashing

$
0
0
Hello,

There's a Workstation running with these specs. installed in a power plant:
Win XP Pro SP2
Cimplicity SP5
Toolbox 11.5

They're having troubles lately, where Cimplicity seems to crash for no apparent reason, it just brings up a series of warning and error boxes:

1. (Warning) Toolbox - Receive timeout -- Live list is disconnected.
2. (Error) Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library - Runtime Error! Program: C:\CIMPLICITY\HMI\exe\amvsound.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
3. (Warning) amvocx - The connection to the Alarm Manager for projext MYPROJECT has been lost.
4. (Warning) CimView - CimView will terminate because CIMPLICITY has stopped.

After that it's not very clear yet to me what they do to manage this warnings and put the WS back to work. I believe they just reboot. I'm trying to get more information right now.

I got the Cimplicity Logs, where a series of errors are registered, such as:

Any ideas of what could be causing this situation? Where should I look first to go with this troubleshooting?

Thanks in advance!

iFix 3.5 key issue

$
0
0
iFix 3.5, Win XP on Dell computers, parallel port key. All in service for many years.

OK, here is one for you all.
There are 2 identical Dell XP PCs, one is a spare. I made a simple screen change in a long time running iFix 3.5.
I did a backup .fbk, copied the changed .grf file and the copied recipe folders to a USB stick.
Everything worked fine on that PC.
I then copied the .grf and recipe files to the backup PC.
When I tried to run the backup PC there is an error and iFix stops. The error window says "Windows error code: 193" Startup error.
It faults as it is trying to execute the DBASRV.EXE file acording to the startup history.
After much screwing around; go back to original files, do a restore in iFix, do a restore in XP, I pull the key and iFix opens fine in demo.
I do a iKeyDiag and it shows no problem with the key. I go back to the first PC and all is fine.
Would I have a bad parallel port even though the iKeyDiag says all is well? If bad could the key work in an aux card parallel port?
I don't know if the spare PC had a problem before I copied the .grf as I didn't run it with the key at first.
Any thoughts?
The process is down until Monday and this is a spare, but we all know Murphy's Law.

Communicating Cimplicity with Rockwell Add-On Instructions

Hello,

Has anyone connected a Cimplicity project to an Allen-Bradley Logix 5000 using Rockwell's Add-On's?

I downloaded an AddOn library that comes with faceplates for factory talk, but I'm not sure of how to link the AddOn instruction to a faceplate made in Cimplicity.

Alarms Pending in Mission Control

$

Hi, I am working on a system that has around 3000 pending alarms in mission control. The alarms logged are very slow & it takes around 2hours for all the alarms to get logged in. The alarm log creates a lot of "Field's value not known" errors. I am using a lot of AR tags & reading/writing to them using vb script. Its possible these are causing the alarms to be backedup. Did anyone else see this issue?

iFix security users and groups blank

After installing iFix 5.8 there are no users or groups in the Security configuration by default like there normally are. When I add in groups and users, save the config and go back into Security config they are gone. Anybody know what is causing this? I just installed three other nodes and none of them have this problem. This is a SCADA runtime node that is having the problem.

Workspace crashing after Restore of 32 bit GRF files using .Net Components

$
0
0
All,

Having an issue with a SCADA I had to migrate from 32 bit Win 7 to 64 bit Server 2008. I backed up and restored the application and all seems well so far, except that any iFix screens that use .NET components (I developed about a dozen for manual data entry) are all failing and sometimes crashing or hanging the Workspace (Scripting.dll sometimes shows up in crash report).


A few times I've managed to get the file to open (the Components are just greyed out silhouettes) and I checked the references. They seem to be OK, with the Reference pointing to where the .Net Components do exist in the 64 bit machine.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to get these screens to work again (besides re-creating them from scratch)?

AI tag will not clear alarm summary once status is OK

$

0
I have about four of AI tags that will not clear the alarm summary once their status is OK. All other AIs work properly. Using iFix 5.5 - SP2 SIM installed, redundant SCADAs. Both SCADAs do this so it doesn't matter which Node is Active. We've duplicated an AI that does work properly and the same thing happens.

Any ideas? I have spoken to GE tech support on this to no avail.

Thank you.

Keeping decimal points during PDB export to csv file

$
0
0
I have to add few thousand tags to PDB. When I export it to a csv file, some of the existing tags that have high/low values set with the decimal point (0.0, 100.0, etc) are lost when I edit the csv file in excel & save it. I could use notepad to add the tags but I am trying to avoid it as excel is very user freindly when adding multiple tags. The excel cells are formatted as general but saving the csv is converting the values into whole numbers. I have code in the screens that is specifically looking for the decimal in these tags when the current values are set. But now all the current values are also whole numbers.

Different values of dual iFIX

Hi,

I have dual SCADA system.
iFIX v3.5 on XP, ABR Driver v7.24, RS-Linx Gateway 2.42.000 build 18

Yesterday two SCADA nodes displayed different values.
SCADA nodes have same configurations - database, I/O driver...
Both were all OK - SAC, I/O driver worked good.
Alarm files didn't have any error message.
But one SCADA node has correct values in database tags, another one has wrong values.
After reboot iFIX, they displayed same and correct values.

why does this problem happen?

Any help is always appreciated.

Thank you.

Alarms & Events Express

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to connect a tag value (DI) point to the Alarms & Events Express software. I basically have a tag called GENERAL_ALARM which is a DI configured in IGS and iFIX 5.8.

When I configure A&EE I can't seem to find any reference to this tag or any way of linking to it. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something very obviously wrong or missing a vital step but I can't figure out what it is.

Does anyone have any knowledge of A&EE and how to use it in conjunction with IGS? Some help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Matthew

I need to upgrade my existing PME 8.0 package from Basic to Professional because I now need to program 90-70's in addition to 90-30's. If PME 9.0 is on the way within, say, a month or two, I'll hold off.

ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure error

$

Hello, I wanted to check if anyone else got this error in iFix when logging data into oracle through iFix. I am going to try this solution:

http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/a...-failure-error
Fire up REGEDIT and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE. Then add EPC_DISABLED and set the value to TRUE.

It occurs when I am logging a batch event. I am running a test for disconnecting from the machine where oracle is installed. When I reconnect, I wait 10-15min before logging the event but still this error shows up. Sometimes it worked within 2-3min. Its very random. Wondering if someone else had the same issue & how they resolved it.

Did SIM install correctly?

Is there a way I can tell whether I installed a SIM to Historian?
