hi

i am using versamax micro with 50 i/o's and i also developed hmi for it. The total points (tags ) in hmi is more than 150 but only 50 points (tags )are relevant to hardware (plc i/o's) and remaining 100 tags are for alarms and clocks which normally exist in all project of cimplicity. so my question is how can i select the usb hardware key for my hmi. the 150 points which are defined for alarms and clock in project will be considered in license selection or not ?

We are looking into virtualizing multiple instances on iFix on the same machine. Probably one SCADA server, one client node, and one Historian. The Historian either on the server node or a separate virtual machine, that part is still undecided. Does anyone have any experience with that and care to share how it went?

I-Block Ouput Group for 90-70

October 5, 2014, 6:30 am

Dear All,

Need help again, :).

At the moment the GMR dual redundancy system already running.
The output block is installed as I-Block Output Group.

Reference to GFK-1277G, page 3-23. (my interpretation)
1.The operation of I-Block Output Group is:
If the output is ON under normal condition. Then if there is either one of sink or source output fail, the output will stay ON. And in this condition, replacing the faulty module is possible at this point of time (meaning = turn off the faulty module and replace with new module).

Question: is my interpretation correct? Can we replace the faulty (either sink or source) module block and in the mean time the healthy module keep the output ON?

The default states for the output blocks are set to 0. The duplex default is ON, the Normal state is high.

2. Reference to GFK-1277G, page 3-23, "If either of the two busses serving an I-Block Output Group is damaged or cut, outputs for the block wired to that bus are set to their configured default states. The remaining block on the functioning bus will still allow the load to be turned off."
In this case, if there is cable break, base on the above module setting, the output will go to default state 0 (OFF).
If one bus cable break, I need the output to be kept ON. If two buses cable break, it is ok that the output can go to the default state 0 (OFF).

Question: How to get the second setup ? Can we use override from application program to do it?
I read in Appendix B, that need to use MODBUS communication if we want to use override from application program. We only can use Ethernet communication at the moment. How?

Thanks in advance. :)

Dear all,

We are working in our first RX3i redundancy application using VersaMax I/O on Profinet.

We found some dificulty to set up the system : After downloading programs into CPU, I was surprised to find with the "Profinet DCP tool" that Device Name and IP Adress of my PNC didn’t change! So I tried with DCP tool to change it but it tell me that “Device does not support command option”, i tried downloading programms via Ethernet/Serial, i get the same result.


Thanks for your help.

DI/AI Database Tag Goes OFF Scan

Hi. We are having an issue with all DI and AI tags in our database; they always turn to OFF scan. When changing the tags 'Scan Stat' value to 'ON' it goes back to 'OFF' instantly. This is happening with ALL digital input and analog input tags.
  • iFix 5.8, Windows Server 2008 R2, running as a service or standalone
  • Each tag is set to scan under its properties in the DB.
  • We have an ABR driver which has 0 errors displayed in the PowerTool.
  • There is no Alarm Queue Overflow.
  • Support is worthless on this issue.

We found that you can add a debugging command line paramater 'WSACTASK.EXE' but not sure where to view the output. WSACTASK.EXE Command Line Parameter

Any ideas?

Edit: The same issue persists with only 1 tag in the database. The original database has 1300 tags.

IC200CMM020 Communication

Hi,

I'm new with GE IP Product, so thank you for your help.

I have a VersaMax Profinet IO device in an RX3i Profinet network, i have to perform Modbus communication using IC200CMM020.

I read GFK-2423E and GFK-2220E, i found that i should use "COMMREQ" instruction to send/receive data from slaves, but i stil have some questions :
  1. For COMMREQ "IN" inputs, i don't know if i should use a %R or the CMM %Q.
  2. I found nowhere which setting i should put for COMMREQ "SYSID" and "TASK" inputs.
I have CRU320 CPU, i'm in a RX3i redundant configuration.

Thanks for help.

Batch Client Server selection

We are implementing iFix 5.5 and Batch Execution 5.6 through a RDS and VM server. the thin clients connect through the RDS to the virtual server image. Our issue: Since the batch client is ran as a service on the RDS, we have to add all the possible batch servers to the remote server list (several lines are connecting in this fashion). Question: Is there a way to configure the batch client with an ini file change or command line parameter to automatically choose which batch server to connect to? We're trying to avoid having the operator manually choose the server - I can see several issues arrising if the wrong server is chosen.

I need to rotate objects at different speeds on the same screen. I rotate some using the RA register but it looks like I can only use one RA register. How can I create multiple 0-360 EGU registers running at different speeds?
Update: Found that a GEN block will do this so I may be OK here,

How to clear remote I/O inputs when comms have ended

I am programming an RX3i CPE305, and using Modbus TCP to read and write to a Beckhoff remote I/O unit. My problem is when I loose communication, either by error or by sending the command to end communications, all of my inputs stay in the last state that has been read. I need some way to program "fail safe" where if my communications is not current, that the inputs are back to their "default" value.

Can anyone point me in the direction I need to go with this. I am new to the remote I/O operations, and while I know what is going on now, I am learning my way through.

Thanks,
Matt

Graphic rendering very slow with CimView

October 10, 2014, 1:12 am

Hello everybody,

I need your help about a problem of very slow refresh of CimView.

I have a big synoptic on a large video wall. The synoptic was developped by my customer, and it's created for use all the resolution of the video wall.
I have a video wall with 10 screens with XGA resolution. So my total resolution, where is display CimView, is about : 5120 x 1536 pixels.

My problem is that Cimview is extremly slow for refresh the graphics rendering. There is a clock which is display time, and normally we must see all the second one by one, here, the refresh is so slow that we can see the second all the 3 or 4 second !
There is also some animations, as fans are running, which are sluggish.

We have check, there is no problem with the processor (intel core i3 2120), or the RAM (16Go DDR3). All the computer still running correctly, execpt the CimView which is slow.

We have make a test which is very interesting. If we take the same view which is slow when it's open on the complete wall, and if we reduce the size of this view, for example on only 4 screens ( resolution of CimView is now about 2048x1536 ) the refresh rate of CimView was now normally. Of course the view is not exploitable because completely scratched because of the reducing size, but we can see now all the fan running normally, and all the second of the clock, one by one.
In the same way, if we display the CimView on 6 screens, is slower than when it's open on 4 screens but it's faster than on the 10 screens.

So this test, for me, show us that there is no problem about the processor, the RAM... But a problem with the graphics rendering.

Also we have make a other test is the same way, when we display the CimView on 6 screens, if we display, for example, a windows like an explorer, over the CimView and also over the desktop of windows, when we reduce this explorer, it disappear directly where it was display over the desktop, but it disappear very slowly where the CimView was under.

For information we use cimplicity 8.2 on a windows 7.

Do you have an idea where my problem could come from ?
Do you have also an idea of the graphics hardware capacity that I need for display CimView on a big resolution like 5120x1536 pixels ?

Thanks a lot for your help
Best Regard

Hi. After update Microsoft Windows KB2998527 (time zone update for Russia) data are displayed as %%%% in WorkSpace, all animation doesn't work. But changes the current value of the tag in the DataBaseManager. Installing the latest SIM_iFIX55_Pulse15 didn't solve the problem. The problem occurs on computers with OS Windows Server 2008 64-bit SP2; Windows 7 (6.1) 64-bit SP1 and iFIX V5.5.
