@AutomateSHANE, is there any way to change the order of multiple dialog boxes? For example, I have multiple dialog boxes open at the same time and want to select one that was opened in the middle of the group. Is there a way to move the layer order of the one selected to the foreground? - ...

I have a customer with a WAGO PFC100 number 750-8110 that was working fairly well with version 1.5 of FT Optix. When they upgraded to version 1.6 they lost communication with the WAGO controller. There is an open Rockwell ticket on this issue however, I wanted to ask here if anyone else has seen ...

I will admit that I have not looked through the forum yet on this question. I have not seen anything from my past visits here. I'm reaching out to see if something similar to Tag Debugger / Watch Window that works across all protocols we currently use - Modbus, OPC UA, and CODESYS (via the native ...

I like that approach, yet, one of the requirements is to have the answers auto-populate as they are typing the question. If they start with Gen1, then all answers with Gen1 in them are shown and refined as they keep typing. This is the reason for getting them in to the database. Do you think this ...

I have a customer that is wanting to. My planned response is, "No, there is not a good process for this, and I highly recommend not interacting with the embedded database externally from Optix." With that said, does anyone think that they could use NetLogic to pull data from an Excel spreadsheet ...

AutomateSHANE, thank you for your feedback. I had never noticed the C# language button icon before. I will try to remember that moving forward. Yes, "worked" meant that my variables are now staying synced. I am not a C# programmer, so it always gives me a headache. Thank you for your ...

AutomateSHANE, can the variable synchronizer be used to regularly read an Optix variable that is linked to a controller variable, or should it be linked direct to the controller variable? ------------------------------ Jamie Leonard ------------------------------
