is there any modbus rtu Rs485 port in IC695CMM002?

RX3i Eng Units setup

Hello,
I am trying to set up my IC695ALG600 engineering units and it isn't going well. This is my first time setting up eng units on any PLC module. I am currently trying to set up a Platinum 385 RTD on one of the channels of the AI module. I have set the hardware up and the module channel is set to have range type of RTD, RTD: RTD 3 wire, Range: Platinum 385, Resistance: 100 ohms, temperature units: Fahrenheit, and default temperature configuration. The default configuration gives low A/D and Eng Units = -328 and high A/D and Eng Units = 1562. When I look at the value of my %AI It gives values on the order of billions. I have tried shifting around the Eng Units and A/D to see how they work but nothing helps. Could anyone please help me out? Also, is there something that gives more information on Eng Units setup?

Thank you

Is it possible to copy a single lookup table from the user.FXG on one machine to the user.fxg of a different machine?
One machine is different and doesn't share the same user file as all others, but I now need one of the lookup tables, and its large, and I really dont want to re-create it.

Hello everyone!
I want to restrict the access of pictures.
I have two pictures: MENU, with a button which opens TOOLS picture and close MAIN picture.
For this, I have added Security Area in the Property Window of TOOLS.
Of course, if I log as an user who is not allowed to access TOOLS, when I click the button, a message box appears with "access denied" and then the picture closed.
I would like to:
When I click the button, the login window appears, I log in and Ifix open the TOOLS picture and close the other one.
Does anyone have an idea?

Handling Events on ActiveX Objects Created at Runtime

$

Hi,

We have created an .ocx and we are dynamically creating an instance of the control at runtime using the "BuildObject" and "CreateFromProgId" methods.

Code:

Dim oMenu As Object
     
Set oMenu = Me.BuildObject("OleObject")
Call oMenu.CreateFromProgId("iBroadcastControls.ctlPopupMenu")

This works and an instance of the object is created on the screen. We would now like to handle events created from this object, such as click events.

Is this possible in iFIX and if so how do we do it?

Logging NSD tags to Historian?

$

Hello again message board...

I have a quick question about NSD tags...

Is there a way I can historize a few NSD tags (or SCADASYNC[0] tags)?

I want to log some data about our redundant setup as we are deviating from the "GE Standard" of how our redundant SCADAs are setup and we would like to monitor the activity of a few NSD tags (over a few days time)...

I see I can add NSD tags to a chart, but alas this becomes a real-time chart and I guess I can let it run there for a few days but I thought I would ask if I can send a few tags to Historian before doing so...

Is this possible?

WDE driver converter to IGS driver

Hi,

I am using Woodward Micronet PLC and ifix 5.1 using WDE driver to talk to PLC. Now I want to upgrade ifix server from Windows Xp to Windows 7 OS and replace WDE driver to IGS driver.

Does anyone knows can the latest IGS driver talk to Micronet PLC?

If it can't and I would like to upgrade WDE driver to MBE driver. The main reason is WDE driver does not support Windows 7 64 bit OS, while MBE does.

Am I wrong or not? Any suggestion? :)

Best Regards
Min

PC and Quick Panel displays

Hello everyone!
My new step in iFIX is to create a network between the main PC (the server) and a Quick Panel + 15' (the client).
What I want is to display the project on the panel but without consequences on the PC (i.e the panel doesn't take control of the PC).
I hope this is clear for you.

We are currently using a Quickpanel 6" touchscreens and having problems with the communication. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. We are using Proficy Machine Edition v5.50 Build 6505
This is what comes up on the touchscreen:

File:///MODTCPIP_err.html

The MOD TCPIP Driver driver (DSV00088) encountered an error.
Description: Modicon TCPIP Driver using the modbus protocol.
This driver uses DDK NextGen Tree Version 3.00.0.057, Feb. 15,2000.
Because of the error, your driver might not be able to communicate correctly
with your devices. You may take remedial action by returning to the editor and
making the necessary modification to your project.

VM Licensing

$
0
0
Hello all!

We all have a few questions about licensing Proficy products in a virtualized environment.

1.) Is a Local License Server Required? If not, can we license individual VMs through the Proficy License Server? We can configure temporary internet access to our VMs for this procedure.

2.) If a license server is required this is our second question. We will have our redundant SCADA a significant distance away from the primary SCADA and we are concerned with licensing our Proficy products at our "emergency ops" location if a network issue is to happen. Is it possible to use two License Servers for this scenario?

3.) Can a license server run on the same VM as say a SCADA Server VM??

Thanks for the help,
Brandon

Cimplicity 9.0 heavy file I/O managing points

$
0
0
We recently upgraded two projects from version 8.0 to 9.0

Points searching and management seems to be VERY slow now. Clicking a device on the workbench (to view the device points list) results in minutes of waiting (even when there are less than ten points on the particular device). A simple clie import for a handful of points takes ten minutes. The projects in question do have a lot of points (30k+) and to be fair, point management was not exactly rocket fast before the upgrade. But upgrading to 9.0 took the waiting to a whole new level.

Anyone else experienced/resolved this issue?
