RE: WallClockTime CurrentValue in DT Tag is half what it should be

Controller sure did just think it was 1998, purely a coincidence that it's half the system time. Synched it and working great. -------------------------------------------

WallClockTime CurrentValue in DT Tag is half what it should be

Found In Egroup: Automation Control \ view thread
Hello, I'm using my first GSV to WallClockTime in Studio5k v38, to read the CurrentValue attribute into a DT tag. My controller is a 5380-L330ER. It's reading in as 8.8e14, which is causing my logic to think it's 1998. I was doing some investigating, and epoch time would indicate that it should be ...

Ok I've tried this a couple different ways without success. New Object under the UI folder, added a variable to it. Variable was not unique by session (changing it in one session changed all). New UI Session under the UI folder, added a variable and referenced it via Project->UI->UI Session->Variable. ...

That Project Context link is gold - I've been feeling my way through the structure of Optix as I go along but it's so helpful to have explained it in one place. Should be able to do what I want using a MainWindow variable, thanks. -------------------------------------------

Hello, I have a program in FT Optix that will be deployed to multiple terminals throughout our facility via webclient. I'm using Model variables in Optix for UI/navigation in the program, and CommDriver variables on my PLC for the actual controls. The default setup appears to use one set of ...

FT Optix 1.7 - Open Web Clients to Specific Screens

Found In Egroup: FactoryTalk Optix \ view thread
Good morning, I'm deploying a dozen web clients on Ubuntu devices to display department-specific status monitoring screens, and was wondering if there's a common way to have these web clients automatically (or auto-navigate) to their destination screen. Mainly trying to avoid walking around the ...

Hello, I'm having a similar issue that I don't know the syntax for - I have an array of UDTs that I've imported into Netlogic per your suggestion above, and I trying to do a FOR loop to walk through the array and read the value from the tags at each index. I'm getting a "Cannot apply indexing with ...

FT Optix - Help with Scale Layout and/or Screens

Found In Egroup: FactoryTalk Optix \ view thread
Got what should be a simple question but I can't figure out to save my life. I'm trying to scale my runtime window to match whatever display it's put on, but seemingly whatever combination of Screens and Scale Layout objects I use, it's stuck stubbornly with the 1280x800 pixels I have defined on my Main ...

RE: FT Optix 1.6.5.1 - Event to Focus Text Boxes at Runtime

That's a great find! I've started testing and I definitely think this command can be used to accomplish what I'm going for. On actual implementation, I'm hitting some weird snags. Chief among them is that I can't find a valid Enter command to reliably trigger the Modified Text events on the ...

Hi Shane, Thanks for the clarification! Accessing the .text property would almost certainly be sufficient for my purpose, especially if I can also access the .bordercolor property to clearly show which text box is queued to "receive" input. I have the USB device connected directly to the runtime ...

What would be your take on the best way to simulate that effect until that command exists? If nothing is focused, is there a way capture input coming from a USB device? If so, I think I can at least capture the worst of the repeated data entry scanning. ---------------------------------------- ...

Hello, I'm a fairly new PLC programmer, writing a program using Studio5000 and FT Optix. My runtime operator input will come primarily through a USB barcode scanner, so I'm looking for a use OnPanelLoad or OnValueChange events to give focus to a text box or other user-input field without having ...
