RE: Studio 5000 V35 and View Designer V9

Just to clarify, you can do all your development in View Designer just using the offline acd file configured as the "Logix Project File" in Project Properties. You only need the "HMI to Controller Path" and "Emulator to Controller Path" to test the project using either a physical controller or an emulated ...

Delisle, That looks like a mistake in the manual. The resolution of the 19" PV5510 is 1280x1024. Do you have the publication number and rev of the manual you're using? I can work with our Info Dev people to get that fixed. Regarding sizing of elements on the screen, the trick with the PanelView 5000 ...

Morley, Thank you so much for all of your feedback. I made sure these items are either already in our list of potential future enhancements, or I added them. In addition, I wanted to point out a few items for which we have some methods to address today: OK button on the Keyboard and Keypad that write ...

Splash, To display a tag value along with an engineering unit, you have a few options. You can use a separate numeric display and text display as you mentioned. To keep them aligned, you could right align the numeric display and left align the text display; then they would always be spaced the ...

Morley, View Designer uses the Logix acd file for tag browsing when creating or modifying your View Designer project. If View Designer can't find the acd file, it will still allow you to browse tags using the state of the acd file it cached the last time it was able to connect to it. If you're going ...

RE: PV5510 Performance

Patient, The second core is used automatically; there is no option to select/deselect it. A 19" screen can require some additional processing time to render the higher resolution, but that shouldn't be too significant. The additional space available on a 19" screen allows for a lot of graphic elements ...

Sacksith, Can the web browser on your PV5510 reach anything else on your network? For example, try looking at the web page on a controller or ethernet card. I'm not familiar with that specific camera, but I would suggest the following: Connect to the camera with your desktop browser, and make ...

RE: How to use Logix "Tag-Based Alarms" for multiple languages & external access?

Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
Phil gave a good explanation about alarms using FactoryTalk View SE through FTLinx. It's even easier when using View Designer and the PanelView 5000. Create your alarm messages in various languages in Logix Designer as Phil explained. Then just use a language switch command in View Designer. The PanelView ...

McKenzie, If I understand correctly, when you acknowledge an alarm on the PanelView 5000, you want to see an indication in your controller that it has been acknowledged, and then use that acknowledged state to execute additional logic. If that is the case, you can monitor the .Acked member of the alarm. ...

Henrik, The settings screen is accessible from any screen element configured with a command to navigate to the Predefined Screens\Settings screen. For example: By default, a View Designer project has a shortcut to this Settings screen in the Navigation Menu, but it could also be accessed from ...

You can create an Add-On Graphic to perform a write to a BOOL tag when you enter a numeric input.

John, Have you looked at using the Toolbox elements "Bar Graph" or "Simple Bar Graph" to do what you want? If for some reason you do need to create a bar graph using a custom rectangle, you can overlay your bar graph colored rectangle with a rectangle of the same color as your background screen and ...

McKenzie, I created an Add-On Graphic which you might find useful. The AOG_NumericInputWithBool Add-On Graphic in the attached V8 project looks like a numeric input but has an extra BoolTag property you can bind to a BOOL tag in your Logix project. That BOOL tag will be set when a new value is entered ...

RE: Alarm Definition Help

Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
Morley, PanelView 5000 does not support pass-through descriptions. I'm guessing that's the issue. If you put a direct description on your UDT_AlarmBit.Active instances, they should display correctly as the alarm messages. You also don't need to use the Associated Tag configuration you have. You ...

Morley, If I'm understanding your setup correctly, R111_EX600 is an instance of your machine data type. If that is the case, you would create a separate alarm definition for each bit within the machine data type you want to be an alarm. Then, every time your machine data type is instantiated, you ...
