Jhon - I saw your response after the documents I sent did not help. I've been stumped. I have thought of one more thing to try that I ran into with one opc server. In the case I am thinking of, the OPC client could not understand how to communicate with the OPC server. The OPC client was not informed ...

Hi JHon. DCOM can be tricky and has been the source of more headaches than I care to remember. Before I say anything else I just want to be certain that all OPC Servers and Clients are on the same network subnet and domain, correct? If not, you will more than likely have to use an OPC tunneller to ...

Redzuan# I suggest you also look at pipc.log for clues. Depending on how updates have been done on the Historian, there may be multiple copies floating around that machine. Make sure you grab the current pipc.log file I would also look at Windows Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Applications -also- ...

Motozono - Is the trend object you are referring to getting historical data from FTHistorian or from the datalogger that you set-up within FTView Studio? When you say the tag refresh broke things, does 'broke things' mean the behaviour you describe or something else? If your Trend is retrieving ...

Dejong, Is it possible that you are preloading any displays during startup of the client. In particular,displays that contain trends. I have seen systems where the developer runs a macro at startup that preloads trend displays and then allows those same trend displays to remain in memory. Opening a ...

Greetings DeJong - In addition to what has already been mentioned by others here, I can tell you my real world experience (caveat: I have only done one project with View v13) A couple of things come to mind. It sounds like the Client launches in a reasonable amount of time but the live data does ...

Well that right there is a whole boatload of questions. I understand the frustration of walking into a completely different architecture without any formal training. I'm on the middle of a similar exercise myself. The FactoryTalk architecture is not that different than the way you described Cimplicity ...

Choppy, Typically domain servers are handled by your IT group. There can be multiple domain servers but again, that is an IT and network setup thing that is configured outside of the Rockwell account software. Do you mean the Rockwell Directory Server? Can you describe the problem or error messages ...

As Fuzzy mentioned, there can be many causes. Can you tell me the list of Rockwell and FactoryTalk Applications that have been installed on the host machine. You can find them in the Windows Add or Remove Programs area of Settings. While looking at that list of FactoryTalk programs, please note the ...

Yes, I did not notice that the original post was referring to FTV ME rather than SE. ------------------------------ Bob Yunk Sr Automation Engineer Automated Engineering Services (AES) Oceanside, CA ------------------------------

Yes, I tried to delete my post when I saw the original post was talking about FTView ME. For some reason the system would not allow me to delete or edit my post at the time. I was commenting from my phone and it was just too awkward trying to sort it out. Sorry if I caused any confusion. Philip is ...

EDIT: restored original post as it had been corrupted by recent changes -FL Double click on any tag reference on your existing HMI screens. If the folder name is part of the tag address referenced, then you cannot make a folder name change without repairing anything that referenced the tag. With ...

Some languages destroy objects they create automatically when the object is no longer in use. Some languages require you to explicitly destroy objects when they are no longer in use. VisualBasic tries to clean-up after itself, but is not particularly good at it. If I open or load a display by way ...

Fabian, In the event you have not solved your problem yet: The fact that the OPC server runs fine when it is running on Windows 7 machine, but not on Windows 10 leads me to believe that as others have mentioned, this is almost certainly a DCOM configuration issue. DCOM is done completely different ...

Stephen, I was unable to duplicate your problem today with my project on a PV 7 Plus Performance Series B. However I did observe something that may point you a direction to investigate. In the Properties dialog box that you use to configure the Numeric Input Enable, on the Timing tab I was clearly ...

I'm not sure you can learn much by comparing series A vs series B because they are running different embedded OSs. That said it suggests the issue is likely not something inherent with your HMI project, but rather something about the series b panel. I assume you do not have another Series B panel to ...
