What type of controllers are they? I have seen issues where Linx wasn't communicating correctly with older legacy controllers and manually adding in the correct communications card and processor helped. You can also try to right-click and do a refresh all folders. Last, depending on how new your ...

You can use the web client from any location with the proper security but licensing is required. If you are running the with the HMI controls from a remote location, those HMI controls should be installed on the FTView servers.

Unfortunately, the only method I am aware of is the old fashioned, brute-force method of re-engineering each screen in the new system. As part of a small team, we replaced a FactoryLink system with PlantPAx and ViewSE about 9 years ago and it was a manual process. We took the opportunity to modernize ...

I don't believe it existed back in that version. There was an HMI backup and Restore utility under the View Tools that gives you the capability of backing up a running HMI application. You can also back of the FTD but I believe you have to manually recreate the data shortcuts back in that version. ...

You might also want to download and take a look at the latest library of process objects (PlantPAx) as the develoment team addressed this issue but laying another text field over the buttons rather than using the caption. This is how the HMI framework portion of the templates were created. ------ ...

I don't think there is a standard method but I have another customer than reads a text file (as you mentioned) and updates certain memory tags that are project specific and turns on/off options based on the configuration in the text file. ------------------------------ Jon Davis ----------------- ...

You may want to go into the configuration and turn on debug logging and also tell it to save a few versions of the log. Then check into the one for the data connecter as it may provide you with addiational troubleshooting information. ------------------------------ Jon Davis ---------------------- ...
