RE: FT Optix Color Change based on value

Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
@Retzlaff here is an article that walks through that process and comparison to going with only the Key-Value Pair (lots of data points). The solution shown uses a Key-Value pair but combined with an expression evaluator to create a flexible solution based on ranges for color change. Uses of ...

Do you have a docker container loaded on this Optix Panel? Or a netlogic script trying to log in as user "docker" and that user does not exist? -------------------------------------------

On interesting discovery is the application I tested this in uses a dynamic link to move the data from a Modbus device to a ControlLogix. The tag quality and status code change for either loss in communication. Kind of makes sense, but that was nice to see and not expected. ------------------- ...

@Platten, since I do not know your application or how it is implemented you are the only one that decide what is the best way. As you have pointed out yourself, you have access to StatusCode inside C# if that is where you are performing the data manipulation. You also have access to a more basic item ...

Since IUA Objects are part of the OPC-UA standard it should be this: Reference OPC Foundation - 7.34 StatusCode If someone knows of a better location to find information like this, please let me know. Thanks, Darren -------------------------------------------

Just to add to this some more, depending on the device if it has packed DINTs or REALs you should be able to configure the Modbus driver to import that data in the correct format as I have found but depending on the accuracy of the information you have on the device you may need to trial and error the ...

Has been too long since using Modbus. In Optix this Maps to 400001 this Maps to 400301 If you have a field device you are polling and have mapped Floating Point data to Modbus registers you will need to convert using something like below: public static float CombineWordsToFloat(short ...

Optix V1.6.5.1 Micro870E Firmware 23.012 Not sure if this is a Micro800 issue or Modbus Driver Issue. If I have a Global Variable that is Reals mapped to Modbus holding register 400001 with an array length of [10] reals that should be [20] 16-bit Words (Int16 for Optix). If I create a tag ...

I had a similar issue back in version 1.5. The specific issue was it was logging data to Microsoft SQL server. If it lost connection to the server for a while (5 minutes +) it would fail like that. it seemed to be fixed when i moved the data grid from being directly on the main display to a screen ...

RE: FT Optix Emulate VS Runtime Deployment

Now that I have watched the system for awhile and how the PLC person has programmed it, I think the simple solution will be to change the system where the tag change events are Range Inclusive. I think that will take care of most of the issues. Will just watch the log files today to see what we may ...

My test environment was (2) VMs with Host Only connections to each other. VM 1 is Echo emulating a 5069 safety controller. VM2 is unlicensed Runtime as a service. When testing in FT Optix Emulator the Host machine communicates to the VM1 with Echo also over the Host Only network. I see zero performance ...

@asemlucben and @AutomateSHANE Have deployed to customer this morning and I do not see the issue on their environment. My runtime did not have an entitlement and of course theirs does. Does searching for an entitlement add additional overhead on an unlicensed Runtime? Thanks, Darren ------- ...

The remote variable synchronizer did not make a difference. Will just have to deal with the arbitrary delay and initial errors. It is all good after the communication drivers are actually working. Still not sure why the status bit and word are showing functional but they are not for another 40 seconds ...

Thanks, was headed down that rabbit hole already. It helps, but still has the errors for the data change call that contains a RemoteWrite. It shows synchronized, but apparently still not ready to handle writes in a timely manner. I am checking for Synchronized == true and Operation Code == 1. ...
