I just rebooted the HMI and my VM but no change. The problem is still the same. In fact the problem became worse, the HMI now boots to a black screen.

RE: #FTOptix turn off connection to optix cloud

I think that probably won't stop Optix from trying. Because it trying and failing every time is what makes Optix freeze for a while. Consider this post as a feature request ;)

Is it possible to disable the connection to the optix cloud? Whenever I try to change my download target (to real HMI or emulator for example) it takes a long time and Optix freezes. After this I get the message below. I am currently in a place with no internet and I dont want to connect to the ...

I have run into a problem twice now, on two seperate panels. We are using Optix 1.7.4.32, the panel is a 15 inch standard. Im trying to make a download, it closes the existing runtime but it fails to load a new one with an error about not being able to change a date/time on a file. So far the only ...

I did some more testing and what I don't understand yet is that if I try to select the valve tag in the PLC (TagPath is of type NodeId) it won't let me browse the NodePointer1 for the valve tag: If I insert the path manually or through copy paste it still turns into a link and it recognizes the ...

Thank you for this explanation. It probably has to do something with how I made this template. For making the template I assigned _CM_Powerflex525 to the Kind parameter of the NodeId. Normally I would chose the version in the "Variable types" , this time I chose the version in the "Data types" folder. ...

Hi Community, When making a new Template aka a Panel with a NodeId I noticed that if you give it a specific kind of a PLC structure and then select a tag using this structure, Optix will use angle brackets (>) to reference the tag structure. Before we would always use a slash (/). Can anyone ...

Is there any workaround for current 1.7.3.39 projects? If something changes in the recipe the only way I got it to work is to replace the full project and lose all current recipes.

Your suggestion seems to work but I have one last question about the ListView. I was able to make the list row item in such a way that it automatically expends down when opening the accordion But as you can see this now goes behind the next row. What I would like to happen is that the ...

Thank you for the suggestions. I had not worked with the accordion before. It's very close to what I want, the only problem now is that because the accordion is part of the one row it is shown behind the other row. Is there a way for the accordion pulldown to always be on top? Not ...

I will try to explain what I did in more detail. Everything is happening in the Emulator The project has a slightly modified version of the default recipe handler. The changes are not in the way the recipes are handled but in the way they are presented so this shouldn't affect the test. At ...

I forgot to post my second question in that reply. If i couple the MixerSpeed NodeId to a template that uses MixerSpeed.Minimum, MixerSpeed.Setpoint and MixerSpeed.Maximum, but the read block is enabled on the whole Aerator structure. Does that tell the HMI to read the whole Aerator struct or will ...

Thank you for this explanation. When I check in Optix I see block read disabled by default on the controller level. Our PLC is structured somewhat close to ISA-88 and when I check the high level Aerator unit it has block read enabled by default. The full Aerator struct never needs to be ...
