Getting latest RX3iPNS001 GDSML files with Proficy 8.0

$
0
0
I am currently working on a RX3i project using CPE305 processor, ETM001, and PNC001 ProfiNET controller. The remote rack is 12 slots and has a PNS001 scanner. The software I'm using is Proficy 8.0 SIM 8. In this version, the RX3iPNS001 file in the ProfiNET Devices Tool Chest folder provides a GDSML of RX3iPNS 20130717-V2_3GEIP. Within this GSDML it does not provide the module IC695ALG600. I've been looking all over the ge.ip website with no success. I also updated from SIM8 to SIM 11 and no new GSDML files were provided.
Where can I get the latest IC695PNS001 GSDML for configuring the IC695ALG600

Thank you,
Hank

String point, Null or Empty?

I'm a noob so go easy.

I have a lot of string points

I'm trying to display some coloured boxes, so when the points are empty they are red, when the point has a value they go red.

For the love of me I can't get it working, I know it's probably very simple :(

I'm trying to use the box colour animation expression list

but I feed it the point then what? it keeps trying to use null like a point, help!

Template_Rx3i_ENIUs_v1.43: ControlWords_LANA_B[9]

$

GFK-2439D says ControlWords_LANA_B[9] is reserved for an Ethernet NIU version number, initial value is 0; roughly 20 installed base this word is always 0, no matter how many days running and how many times online upload and download while initial value being checked.

But, one site occurred once the word is not zero at both primary and secondary CPU, then ENIU outputs enter default mode: default to zero as the first control word asked.

My question is: for sure the customer application program avoid of using the 10 control words, which condition could trigger the 10th word not be 0; and, why it is a must to go into ENIU default mode if it is not 0.

My concern is: end user ask for root cause explains, in office i can repeat it on demo but, I cannot tell them until I can have properly explains.

Thanks in advance,
steven

Security Login Timeout

$
0
0
For a project I'm working on, the client wants users to be automatically logged out after a certain amount of time, and that's easy enough to setup in the Security Configuration. But what I would like to add is a timer that shows the time counting down until the user is logged out. Is there a System variable that keeps track of this time? I've searched through lots of documentation and been unable to find anything. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong term or maybe the variable doesn't exist. I don't know which is true. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Motion Mate DSM314

$

Hello I have an issue, check to see if im crazy...
(background, i have set up three other servos on the same rack so i got a handle on how to get it working properly.)

I have a DSM314 with a Servo using Analog Velocity Control. -10 to 10VDC
Motor has 2000 Lines... (8000 Counts per revolution)

I need the motor to spin upwards of 300 RPM (600 if possible)
Lets start with 600 RPM... That would mean 10 RPS...

So if i set my use counts ratio to 250 user units to 8000 counts (which is the max allowed ratio of 1:32) then to spin at 60 RPM (1 Revs per second) i would move at a velocity of 250 user units per second...

and to move at 600 RPM (10 Revs per sec) i would move at a rate of 2500 user units per second.

my max velocity should be set at 2500 user units / sec and then my amplifier would be set for 10V = 600 RPM.

it all kind of makes sense now after i spell it out but honestly i was having trouble getting it to work... i've tried a variety of settings, but think when i did i was doing my math wrong)

I could only get it to jog in the positive direction, and jog neg does nothing... but trying to home will go neg but it cruises right past the home switch without stopping to say hello.

any pointers would be appreciated. i will be attempting to get it going again tomorrow morning despite wishing i was in front of it now to give it another go haha.

RX3i module for encoder input?

$
0
0
Hi all,

Which RX3i module is suitable for reading a differential encoder (A,-A,B,-B,Z,-Z)?

At first I thought the IC695HSC308 will do but it says nothing about differential encoder in the manual, while for it's smaller brother, IC695HSC304, it's clearly stated it cannot be wired for differential encoder phase signals.

Does this leave me with the IC694APU300 only?

BTK_ATB, BTK_ATS, BTK_D32 Database Dynamo

I have an iFIX 5.0 system which I am in the process of upgrading to 5.8. The 5.0 build has database dynamo blocks BTK_ATB, BTK_ATS, BTK_D32 installed. None of these blocks are available to be installed via BTKCFG.EXE on the 5.8 build. Therefore, I am unable to import the database without errors.

Are these blocks available in 5.8, if not, are there replacement blocks that would fulfil their purpose?

2 dimensional scaling on an object ?

I was wondering if someone has an answer. I have an object, say a rectangle and I want to scale both the width AND the height but with TWO DIFFERENT signals. i.e one scales the length and a different one scales the width. Thye animation property of uniform height and width wont cut it.

Security Areas via WebSpace

$

0
Evening all,

Just a quick question....

How does one configure tag level security areas while using a domain based webspace setup?

We are attempting to have one "view" user in our webspace configs...

I have configured to no end and can not prevent users from changing values on tags using the built in security areas via the SCU (while using a webspace session)...

For example, I add security area A/B/C on a tag and REMOVE security area A/B/C from a user, and that user can still write out values to tags...

Any insight on this will be exponentially helpful!

Get Root Model from DirectoryResource

$

I have a display that can operate on many different model types (ex. Equipment, Production, Material, etc.). How can I determine the root model from a DirectoryResource? I'm getting the currently selected resource from the NavigationSelection object.

My first attempt was to loop on the DirectoryResource.Parent property until null, but here's the progression:

1. MyDisplay
2. Displays
3. ClientElements
4. ClientData
5. SOAProject
6. Projects
7. Publications
8. Proficy

I was hoping my loop would stop on #2 such that if I executed the same test with an equipment unit, it would progress to line, site, enterprise, then stop on Equipment.

Excel Add In - Importing historical values of "TX" database blocks

$
0
0
Hello,

I have an entry field in my SCADA for a 3 digit alphabetical code which is entered in to the database and stored there. In a summary sheet I want to print values of this every ten minutes for the previous day.

For the other numerical tags in the DB I have used =TODAY() and =TODAY()-1 for my start and end times, which works fine and this way I can make a sheet daily. However all of my TX blocks return "bad" values, understandably because the historian is trying to average a text string. Is there any way to load the stored value from an exact time rather than making it try to average?

Kind Regards
Fraser

Bad value after project shutdown

$

Hello,

I have a Cimplicity project that uses Historian. I load a recipe into the PLC, that has to follow several phases, each phase with it´s won number. I have a tag that always tells me which phase is currently running, and that tag is collected in the Historian.
Whenever I shutdown the project, after restarting it, in Historian I get a bad value. It only starts collecting when the value changes. The collection type is Unsolicited.
How can I stop from seing bad values after project shutdown?

Remote I/O problem

I have four racks in total. One remote rack and three(3) expansion racks. The digital output modules on the remote rack feeds some field valve actuators. These outputs sometimes come on briefly and go off resulting in the rattling of the valves. I also noticed the run led for the power supply goes off sometime. I have done the following all to no avail:

1. Replaced the backplane
2. Replaced the Power supply

Can someone tell me what could cause this erratic behaviour?

Hiii.

I have redundant system with Cimplicity 8.2. After starting the project i see the following alarm:

Process PTDL_RP terminated on SERVER2 Process name MAC_PTDL.

The utility "Process Control" has checked that the process PTDL_RP is not running on the second server(Hold) .
On Trying Manually starting PTDL_RP, "Process PTDL_RP terminated on SERVER2 Process name MAC_PTDL" alarm is generated.
For Server1, All Process are running .

When I start server2 only, PTDL_RP process is not starting.:confused:

Thanks.

Redundancy server slow Cimview update

Hi,

I have Cimplicity 8.2 SIM 27 redundant System.
On project is started, Server 2 Cimview screens navigates is bit slow.(Takes 2 seconds approx. ) for update whereas Server1 Cimview Functions normally.

From server1 to server2, 100 mbps redundund LAN network is there.

Even when Server2 is switched to Master mode, Cimeview is responding slow.

In server2, PTDL_PR process is in "hold", Is this slow response is due to this service?

Apart from it, no Error Log is observed. System log shows redundancy function is working normal.

thanks in Advance for your Inputs.

Excel Add In - Error with Interpolated Sampling

$

Hello,

When trying to load interpolated sampling values from my historian database I receive the following error:

"An Error Has Occured Inserting The Formula Into The Worksheet: [Could not get the List property. Invalid property array index."

Windows7 (64 bit)
MS Excel 2013 (64 bit)
Proficy historian 5.5 running on a separate server machine which is logging data at intervals of 1second.

Any ideas on why this may be happening? The only sampling type which seems to be working is the calculated sampling which is giving me large inaccuracies due to the calculation interval of 10 minutes I am wanting to use.

Cheers
