iFixWebserver login problems

February 6, 2013, 8:59 am

I have the following setup
SCADA1 - scada node 5.5 configured as scada server
SCADA2 - installed ifix5.5 with iFixWebserver.

Followed instruction for installing the webserver and all seemed to go ok.
Added SCADA2 name in SCADA1 host file and SCADA1 in SCADA2 host file.
Selected dynamic connections.

Problem, on the SCADA2 node, when I open the WEB.SCU, the security option is greyed out and I can't enable it. If I then run iFix on this node, then from within workspace I can open the WEB.SCU file with system configurator and add some users and passwords to the security tab, I can also see GUEST and ADMIN accounts. I save this and exit iFix, but when I run system configurator on its own, the security is greyed out again.

I then thought I would try accessing the webserver from a 3rd machine. The activeX is seen to load and it asks me to log in, I have tried my user and GUEST and ADMIN, but none of them allow me in.

Any ideas PLEASE>>>>>>>>

Fix 3.0 and ABR 6.53i to 1756-DHRIO

February 6, 2013, 2:22 pm

Old Fix 3.0 PC running ABR driver 6.53i, talking to an Allen Bradley PLC-3 over DH+.
There are about 40 tags in this Fix database that point to addresses in the PLC-3.
(for simplicity, say the addresses are N7:1 through N7:40).

The PLC-3 is being replaced with a ControlLogix 1756-L73 processor.

For reasons too silly to mention, the configuration of this old Fix 3.0 PC cannot be changed.

Would installing a 1756-DHRIO module in the ControlLogix rack allow us to map data out of the ControlLogix processor, through the 1756-DHRIO, down the DH+ cable, to the unsuspecting Fix 3.0 PC? e.g. map N7[1] to N7:1, N7[2] to N7:2, etc.

Prevent user from pausing alarm summary object

February 7, 2013, 9:55 am

Does anyone know if there is a way to prevent users from Pausing the Alarm summary object? I just learned yesterday from a client that there is a pause feature (I never used it before) and they want to disable it because it got turned on by accident and they missed a bunch of alarms during a batch and now QA is screaming.

A search on this forum turned up a post which indicated that apparently the 'P' key can pause it, so I'm guessing that is maybe what happened in this case, someone accidentally hit P while the summary was in focus...I don't think they accidentally did a right mouse click and selected pause from the context menu.

That previous post didn't have a good solution, I think they were talking about key re-maps at the OS level...I can't disable the P key...they need to be able to login.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg

Close picture in a function

Hi,

I have a button on a picture that calls a function. From within the function I would like to close the picture.

VB doesn't like it when you try to close a picture while a script is running. Is there a way to deactivate the picture first?

Thanks

Button on picture1:
Private Sub Button1_Click()
ChangeNode "Node01", Me.WindowLeftPercentage
End Sub

Function ChangeNode (xx, xx)
ClosePicture "picture1"

Attempting to close picture1 crashes VB. There are no problems with the function call or other code.

syntax for closing non-active picture

I have an overview-picture where I can touch different components and than open a pop-up window for this component.

While the pop-up is open, I can still see other components on the overview-picture, and I can touch those.

If that is done while the pop-up is still open, I would like to close the pop-up and then open the pop-up again with information for the new component.

In VBA:
1. How do I check that the pop-up is open?
2. How do I from the overview-picture close the pop-up?

Getting a 24h Re-Calculation to run from 4am

Hello All,

I have added a calculation to my historian 4.5 which I want to use to total another Tag over a 24 hours period from 4am to 4am, this is what I've added to the historian Calculation Collector:-
Result = Calculation("99HourRead","RawTotal","Now - 1Day","Now",Quality)

I've set the Calculation collection to be every 24 hours, I have two questions:-
Q1; How do I get the calculation to have it's first run at 4am without having to get up and make an update to the calculation at 4am?

Q2; When I've set the Re-calculation engine off to run from 4am 31st Dec 2012 through to 03:59:59 13th Feb, the Raw Values in the historian are showing from midnight to midnight, how do I get these to run from 4am?

Many Thanks
Mark

IGS driver 7.58 CIP Error=0x01, Ext. Error=0x0301

All,

We have a redundant rack and the primary and secondary have their own Rockwell ENBT cards v6.6. The IGS driver v7.58 is pulling from the primary PLC but the communication is terribly slow. Each tag in the iFIX PDB has @1000 at the end (pulls once a second), and devices in the IGS driver are not requesting more than once a second.

The IGS log shows 'An Error occurred during a request to a device PLCNAME, [CIP Error=0x01, Ext. Error=0x0301].

The IGS help file says this error means 'No Buffer memory' but I'm not sure what that means. Can anyone help?

iFix 5.5 and FIX Desktop

Is there a version of the FIX Desktop for iFix 5.5. I see it mentioned in the documentation Getting Started, but when I browse the DVD to the Setup\Legacy folder the iFIX55_Pulse15_FD.exe is not there. Just the iFIX55_Pulse_FD.exe is there. That installs the Classic Historian for 32-bit systems.

I am running a Windows 7 32-bit, so I should be able to install the FIX Desktop.

If it does exist, and since it is not on my DVD, can it be downloaded from GE with a current support agreement? If so, what search criteria because I turned up nothing but articles for it and no downloads?

Thanks

Script works on button but not on object?

Running 5.5 latest sims

I have a script that works as a click event when applied to a button, but is erratic when applied to a grouped animated object.

When applied to the object it might work once between config/run cycles or perhaps perhaps not at all. (the visibility animation should not come into play during this time).

When applied to a button with the same animation it works reliably every time.

I would include the script but I don't think that it would matter - it does a readvalue and a Select statement to decide what to writevalue.
Done it many times, this is the first time I have had this happen. Its more than just the script.

Any ideas?
