MOTOZONO see p128 p241 in the manual regarding replication from the primary to the secondary. Initially.. use the HMI Backup/Restore utility so that you do not corrupt the HMI Tag DB. Once redundancy is established, then use the "Replicate" button on the HMI properties.

Bilal, FTView SE v6.00 was designed for Win32 OS. It was not tested on Win 10 32-bit, so it is not officially support on Win 10 32-bit... however, it might work (we don't know because we didn't test it). To move to a 64-bit OS, you have to convert the 32-bit Tag DB from Watcom to 32-bit SQL and ...

Roy, To read 32-bit data using the Modbus protocol, you'll typically use one of the following function codes: Function Code 3 (Read Holding Registers): This is the most common method. Since Modbus registers are 16-bit, you'll need to read two consecutive registers to obtain the full 32-bit value. ...

Justin, Bridge connection, as shown below... are not supported... and should be avoided. An EN2T can handle 128 TCP and 256 CIP connections so the existing EN2T in the main chassis probably isn't maxed out on TCP/CIP connections. If you are using 100ms RPIs (or higher) then your ...

Justin, From this picture I see you have two RIO Scanners. Each RIO Scanner could have upto 10 connection as seen below.... CLX redundancy only supports multicast IO connections. The EN2(T)(R)(P) only supports a total of 32 multicast connection so using 10 on each RIO only leaves 12. Besides ...
