RE: #FTOptix | Is it possible get the value of a pointed nodeid?

Posted By Fox Nov 03, 2025 06:57:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
Hey Flareux, I would bring the entire tag in as an alias or node pointer (as opposed to a node id as a variable) into your widget.. then just reference that alias or node pointer anywhere inside your widget. You shouldn’t need the @value. -------------------------------------------

Hey Brian, I think if I understand right, you just want MSB * 65536 + LSB ? If so, an expression evaluator will do the job. when you go to add a dynamic link to a label, click on the advanced tab, select + and select expression evaluator. enter (0) * 65536 + (1) Two dynamic links will ...

RE: FTOptix dynamically display local I/O in a Data Grid using extended tag properties

I assume this is for a discrete input or output card? Should be doable, but it will require some Netlogic code. I would suggest starting by examining the structure of the tag in Netlogic (set a breakpoint after it reads the tag, then hover over it to explore the structure). Those extended tag properties ...

That model variable that you created, set its value to 3 in the design environment. Then it will default to that on startup, and the option button will be checked. -------------------------------------------

Hey Scott, Sure thing, So for this you can setup a dymanic link for the checked property. Click on the advanced tab, and select an expression evaluator. In this first one we'll look for the value of the model variable to be equal to 3. Then setup the second one the same way, comparing it to 325. ...

Hey Angelo, Great question, and welcome To Engage! Quickest option: put the engineering unit to the right of the input as a Label (often inside a horizontal layout, so it stays aligned) with either a SpinBox or TextBox. Why not inside the field? The SpinBox only accepts numeric input, so it ...

Hey Kataray, Just to complete the thread for anyone else running across your issue, what's this the error message you were getting?

Hey Michael, Not an Emulate/FT Linx incompatibility. The mode changes you see (Power Up → Remote Program) happen when Studio 5000's programming path engages (Who Active / Download). The FT Linx data server won't change the controller/emulator mode-so those observations are normal. View SE uses FactoryTalk ...

Hey Xavier, Currently FT Remote Access does not support a way to automatically run and connect to a VPN on startup.

Are you looking at the design time database instead of the runtime database perhaps? When you launch the emulator it creates a copy of the files. To the right of the emulator output log is a shortcut to the runtime file directory. -------------------------------------------
