I have a few trends running logged point data and daily I've notice that the trends stops updating. A right click of the mouse then click current time and things start up again. Just wondering how to correct this. Vers 8.2
I have just "Enabled logged data request outstanding state events" in the Chart Advanced Properties with default settings to see if this helps things out.
Thanks

Hi
Im in need for help to understand Ihistorian.
The situation is that we have one tag (A thermocouple) that I want to investigate how often it has been above 400 and 700 degrees during the past two years.
My idea was to use the Query filtered Data.
I collect data from tag A and then filter data when A > 400 degrees. I use calculated sampling (Total) and an interval of 7 days.
My idea is that for every 7 day will Ihistorian calculate how many times tag A has been above 400 degrees.
Now to my problem.
When I do exactly the same collection for temperature above 700 degrees there is an error. On some occasions are the more hits/Counts on above 700 degrees then on above 400 degrees. If the temperature is above 700 it is automatically above 400 so this should be impossible
What is the difference between choosing Total and Count in Calculation?
Thanks from Sweden

Hi, I am running a scheduler in the background that sometimes breaks at GetObject() method of the scheduler code that initiates the workspace application, eventhough workpsace is running. I was reading online about this error but haven't found any solution thats related to ifix.
Dim WrkSpcApp As Object
Set WrkSpcApp = GetObject("", "Workspace.Application")
I want to add this to fix.ini & see if it works:
[OTHERS]
RUN=%WorkSpace.exe
And this:

Not sure if I need to register any dll too. Please let me know if anyone was able to fix this issue. It is causing a lot of delays & errors on the system.

WHen I boot up and go into IGS Config, I see at the top banner that it is in Demo mode. In the IGS Administrator, it is showing that the driver has started. If I stop and restart the driver, the top banner shows that I am in Runtime.
In the IGS Config, I see this message logged:
Demo timer started. Reason: Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet caused the driver or plug in account to exceed limit. (2 hours, ..... remaining)
Any thoughts?

Is there a method yet to detect if any tags in the database have gone off-scan? We seem to be in a constant state of development lately so this happens once in a while and sometimes we dont notice it. It would be great to have them detected automatically.

We have a distributed setup of Proficy servers which generate their own cor_recstat.clg log files.
We are planning to create a centralized system which will get the logs from all the servers in real time so that we have a holistic view on what's happening across all the servers.
The hurdle in getting this done is that cor_recstat.clg is not text.
We have tried the two approaches as mentioned in below threads.

this does not translate the date in the output.

this could not be run in the background.. and hence takes up a user license.
This question was last asked long time back(2006) hence asking it again.
Is there a way to convert this file into text with all the data in the background in real time.
Why are these files not text ?. Almost all log files are.

Hello,
I'm doing a bilingual (Spanish-German) HMI project. It works fine for the Alarm Viewer Control, but it doesn't work for the alarm messages in the Historical Alarm Viewer.
Is there any way to toggle the language for the alarm messages in HAV by means of a property or via script?
Many Thanks

Hey guys,
I have a .fbk file from Clients site along with other folder such as ALM,APP,HTR and so on. I am trying to open the .grf file where all the graphics are that I need to work on. I have an IFIX 4.0 in my PC . Normally I should be able to see all the graphics file in the PIC folder of the project I am working but in this case I don't see one.My guess is the person who did the backup project in the client side didn't verify if the .grf files were actually saved.
I am not an expert myself. I know enough to realize that .grf files should be in PIC folder.
I did notice someone in earlier thread saying manually copying the .grf file is the best option but it's a little too late for me because it is a offshore client and this is what I am given.
Is there a way to access those .grf graphics file?
If my problem is not clear enough I do apologize !
Thanks for your help in advance..

We are having issues with color assignment retention. We built a 'proof' screen to test the specification documentation RGB assignment. We see the Black, Red, Orange, and others lose these settings when opening the proof screen. We can edit the color back to where it looks right, after saving, closing iFix, and returning to check, the edits are gone (i.e. Black goes to White...). We are editing using Menu/View/Color Selections/Cusomize Colors.
Development PC is XP with service pack 3. Thanks!

everything I can find says that if the expression is evaluatated to a positive number it is visible and 0 or negative it is not visible. How does the expression editor handle boolean statments such as "varableA and variableB" if either is positive will it be visible or as the "and" requires do both statments have to be positive for a positive result? I cannot find any documentation on the expression editor that talk about how it evaluates "AND" and "OR" statments and when those expressions are used in the variable field there is no error generated for using them. If anyone has any experience or documentation it would be appreciated.
The why behind the question is I have a View project developed several years ago and I am having several animations visible when not supposed to be or screen errors and the only common factor is that they all have "AND" statments in the visibility but when the HMI project is validate no errors are identified.
Thanks Bill

Hello again all...
I am experiencing an issue with mass editing a CSV for a tag group file that has more than 256 rows...
It appears my TGD (when I open a csv I created for a tgd) truncates all my rows that are past 256 rows...(actually 257 rows but the tgd starts at row 1)...
Is there a workaround for this?
I will have MANY tgds that are greater than 256 rows and manually adding rows into my tgd in the tge will be time consuming...
Any advice helps,
Brandon

I have a HMI station, with iFix SCADA Developer v5.5 and iHistorian v5.0 installed on the same computer.
When network is working correctly, I have no issues.
If the network goes down, or the CAT5 cable is not connected, I can connect to iHistorian using iHistorian Admin tool.
iHistorian service is running, iFix is running, and iFixCollector is running.
Does anybody know why I have this issue?
Thanks,
Philippe

Hey guys ,
Just wanted to get your experience as fas as converting FACTORY TALK TO IFIX OR VICE VERSA...
Ifix uses all kinds of blocks(Primary,secondary,control) such as (AA,AR,DI,DR...so on) and Factory Talk use only Digital,Analog& String. Am I correct?
So if I have to work on iFIX to Factory talk how would I consolidate these blocks?
Your help is highly appreciated!

i am working on redundancy but facing some problem.
i have rx3i redundant controller , when i switch the primary cpu to secondary cpu, all i/o fields on hmi become 000 .it looks like the current data of primary is not mirrored on secondary. according to the hot standby redundancy the secondary starts the process where the primary shuts. so why secondary cpu dosen't keep the primary data. plz tell me what is the solution of this problem. what should i do to solve this problem.

I am running cimplicity 8.1 SIM 9 and have 2 redundant servers in the normal cimplicity
Redundancy, (which has worked for several years through different cimplicity versions)
I am now looking to add cable redundancy to make the system even more robust.
I have set up a test system using new servers the same spec Dell poweredge R210 ll and the same licence options as the Live system
Primary server licence: Unlimited development server, redundancy, system sentry.
Secondary server licence: Unlimited runtime server, redundancy, system sentry.
The firewall is disabled on all computers, the network settings and paths the same as the live servers. Apart from a different domain server as the Test servers are on their own small network.
I have copied the project on to the primary server.
The only difference in the projects is the Cable Redundancy option is ticked on both primary and secondary servers.
I have connected the two servers together both port 1s via a network hub, and both port 2s via a direct cat 5 cable,
And setup the ports similar to below
Primary server port 1 10.141.15.1 Secondary server port 1 10.141.15.2
Primary server port 2 192.168.1.1 Secondary server port 2 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask 255.255.254.0
I have copied the project on to the primary server only and done a project configuration update, then started the project on both servers ok
This works as the live system does.
I have also connected a PLC via the network hub, and the animation works as it should on both servers.
If I connect a viewer PC to the system via the network hub I can join the domain and ping via IP address and computer name (host names have been added to all required computers) and transfer files between the 3 PCs but the viewer cannot connect to the server.
The login panel says connection to the project terminated
The viewer status log only says the cimplicity router was started successfully with no other message.
If I stop the project and disable the Cable redundancy on both servers in the options dialog then restart the project the viewer works!!!
I have followed the Server redundancy checklist V3.2.0 and the viewer to server checklist 3.3 with no luck.
Am I missing something obvious?
Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Regards
Peter

I deleted a tag (eg 123FIT01) from historian 4.5 which pull data from another historian 3.0. After editing the tag on historian 3.0, the tag cannot be re_added manually on the historian 4.5, it keep renaming the tag as "rename to 123FIT01". The historian 4.5 indicate that tag 123FIT01 is still exist even the search funtion could not find it. I try re_adding other tags by importing from excel and with no problem but not with the this tag (123FIT01). Is there some sort of loggin tag file that i need to edit in order to completely remove this tag before re_import it? :confused:
