RE: Logix PLCs, Optix, SQL Server and DateTime

You can open a query window in the SSMS interface and alter the table by adding a trigger for insert and update. This way if the time stamp is modified after the insert it will update the persistent data correctly. CREATE TRIGGER trg_UpdateLocalWallClock ON YourTableName AFTER INSERT, UPDATE AS BEGIN ...

Depending on how you are logging and displaying data in Optix this may be of interest if your ControlLogix PLC is the time source for your logged data in SQL Server. [Note: this assumes you are using a later firmware and an L8x or better controller] The easiest solution I have found is to log the ...

@Landwerlen, unfortunately the only question I can assist with is the 1.8. It has not shipped yet and not sure exactly yet when it will be available. Have not yet worked with a project with unavailable nodes so have not seen this particular issue, but I am wondering if you are using Optix Studio V1.7.4.32 ...

Re-read your original post and you can deploy to a local windows PC. For IP Address you can use localhost or the loopback 127.0.0.1 (if deploying to a runtime on same PC as FT Optix Studio) or the actual PC IP Address (local or remote, if remote may need to adjust firewall). For username you can use ...

@Lele, the way I am reading the thread is they are deploying directly to the device and not exporting the project as a runtime file for the desired platform. You may also need to select the encrypt project check box for the deployment. Do not do this: Do this instead: Add your device to the ...

Attached are updated versions as found a race condition in the original with refresh. Also limited the result set to 1 row returned as my test table was quite large and it was slow response. Added a refresh button and a Combo Box to select the sort direction at runtime to see it update if you have ...

@Teo230, it is not clear where the actual data is coming from and these comments may not apply, but variables that are tied to a Communication Driver/Station /Tag are only updated if on a display, part of a logger configuration, RemoteRead() or in a RemoteVariableSynchronizer list. I have been bitten ...

@Blake Community, can someone refresh the link on Seismic? This is a great resource and has been unavailable for at least a week, maybe more. The link is on the GitHub page towards the bottom in the additional resources section. Thanks, Darren

@Hesthaven some other general responses. Issue 1 - Correct there are not many data controls available in Optix, but you can find some inventive ways to utilize what is available in the GitHub repository that Rockwell/ASEM maintain. There are also others in the Engage forum that have supplied resources ...

@Hesthaven, maybe I understood what you are looking for. Attached is a demo project and a library that you can unzip and place in \Documents\Rockwell Automation\FactoryTalk Optix\Libraries. In your project, if you drag in from the library I would recommend creating a folder under the UI folder that is ...

@CodeAssist and anyone else following along. Basically my pseudo code above works, but if you have an ExportMethod that requires no arguments, you cannot just reference a null object, it must be referenced as an empty object. See below for what works properly. Now just need to clean up with some ...

@CodeAssist, so based on empirical testing and difficult to reproduce issues it may work correctly 100 times in a row, but then fail because of out of order execution 3 times in a row. Looking into the best way to solve my spaghetti code. Ended up trying to shortcut since each of the BaseNetLogic modules ...

For the graphical FTP Client, it appears that the "%SD1%\reports" for the path will work as long as you create a file (which will create the directory) first. Forgot that I had moved to another module that did not have any reports generated on it. On my other logic to generate a file, it looks like ...

Are there any know issue with accessing the SD card on 1756-CMEE1Y1 with version 1.7.4? Originally had compiled version 1.7.2 and it was able to access the SD card. After re-compiling due to some issues with the Comms/EIP driver it no longer will allow access to the SD1 module. General error: ...

@Yohan KERRIEN, I am also quite busy this week, but interested in where you are going with this. I will try to get some time to review this weekend and turn into a community example. Thanks, Darren
