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 ...

RE: VBA module does not unload when display closes

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 ...

Frank, You might take a look at Node:RED There is a small library of 'Nodes' that will read and write to CompactLogix and ControlLogix controllers without a dedicated Rockwell data server. I'm not sure of the mechanism. I assume they were created with the SDK Philip mentioned. If you dig around you ...

RE: I want every value to go with multiplication of 10

Posted By Bob Yunk Apr 10, 2023 06:48:00 PM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
You COULD just write the value as-is to an intermediate tag in the controller. Then let the controller do the multiply and make the destination of that value the tag you want to receive the 10x value. Sounds like a long journey to get what you want but if you are having trouble doing it on the HMI s ...

Happy to help Patrick and good to know it will solve the problem. Once you get the Lead/Lag settings correct, it is a very nice simulation for demonstrations. And thanks for the dpas-inc link.

Hi Patrick - To accomplish what you are describing I created some very simple PID simulator blocks. I use them mostly for testing logic where I don't want to wait for PID loops to settle to be able to continue testing my code. Its not a full PID simulation, but it responds to a set point change ...

I'm going to have to agree with you there Phillip. When I wrote it my mindset was "make it organized and easy to read because some very inexperienced guys are going to use this logic". Couple that with not writing structured text in at least three years and I was just happy to get it done, i guess ...
