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. I'm going to head over there and take a look in a few minutes. ------------------------------ Bob Yunk Sr ...

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 by ...

RE: Structured Text Functionality - I'm Stumped

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 ...

Phillip, I don't see my post asking for help with exposing internal variables in ST AOIs so I couldn't thank you there. Just wanted to let you know that your solution worked perfectly.

Thank you Phil. I'll give it a go and report back. If it is that simple I'm going to have to come up with a good story of why it took me 2 days. 😁🙄 ------------------------------ Bob Yunk Sr Automation Engineer Automated Engineering Services (AES) Oceanside, CA ------------------------------ ...

EDIT: moved to Automation Control community - FL I am attempting to make local String variables within a Structured Text AOI exposed to user input. This would be similar, and for the same use as in some of the Process Library AOIs that are written in ladder logic that have one or two lines at the ...

I realize it has been a week, but if you have not resolved this yet, there is a FTDirectory Repair utility available. However, what has been successful for me in the past is use the standard Windows "Add or Remove Programs" and click FT Framework/FTServices Platform uninstall, then select the "Repair" ...

Leyton, Based on my experience it is likely that the version of the ME IPInfo Control on your PC is different than the version on your colleague's PC. On both PCs do a search for ME_IPInfo.ocx Right click on one of the results and then left click on properties Right click on the Details Tab ...

Hi Obrigado, Creating your own image is the only method I know of and I use it regularly. That said, creating your own image can be done multiple ways. Some ways are better than others especially in how the image scales when resizing. I do mine in photoshop by using smart objects. If your images ...

OK, this won't be the first time (or the last) that someone will say, "Is this guy out of his mind?" Is there a way that a user can just browse the KB without having a topic or question?

Jake, You also have the option of whether or not the animations and live data values are updating while the display is loaded, but not displayed (cached). If you find that CPU load is already high, uncheck "Always Updating". The display will still open immediately, but it will take a moment ...

Basil, I can't comment on why your datalogs are stopping (although I have always stopped them when I add any new tags to them). I can say that in my experience, I have only been able to RELIABLY restart them once stopped is to restart the HMI server itself. I know you aren't talking about PanelViews ...
