RE: Any way to assign more RAM to FTOptix Runtime .exe OR DataAcquisitionCore.exe to releive 99% CPU usage bottleneck?

Yeah Admin is pretty important there. On a local machine, one of my colleagues exited out of the Admin prompt instead of putting in credentials, and was never able to get that Admin prompt to show up even again, so he couldn't use the emulator to its full extent after that. Eventually he did a full factory ...

Interesting. How are you re-booting it? I wrote my own C# script that detects if the system is down, and if so, it runs the .exe pointing to the Optix project. I was thinking about capturing the CPU and memory usage as well at that point and storing it somewhere so I could check it later. That could ...

Update: Upgrading from 1.5.3.4 and 1.6.2.36 has made a massive improvement. 30-50% CPU with some spikes at 55% or so. Our actual SCADA system on the web browser also runs a bit faster. Whatever you guys changed, keep doing that. Haha. -------------------------------------------

Just curious why zoom on Trace and Range mode on Trends is disabled now? We just upgraded from 1.5.3.4 to 1.6.2.36 and so far we're happy with it, CPU usage seems to be a bit lower and our project is crashing less, but I noticed this odd quirk. I appreciate that it's in the changelog so I know it's intentional-- ...

That's a really nice loading screen. Probably the best way I've seen load time handed in Optix. -------------------------------------------

That's a good point. It does look like all the cores max out, usually at the same time: -------------------------------------------

I was just wondering why I didn't have to add @Value. I went down the @Description rabbit hole and eventually realized what I was doing wrong. In general I would think @Value is best practice but it worked without. -------------------------------------------

We bought the Unlimited version of Optix so we could have more than 50 connections because we were maxing out at times. So it can be 4-5 dozen sometimes. I understand that's a lot of overhead but unfortunately my hands are tied there. It's a good problem to have, though, because it means everybody is ...

For example, to get the text description of Alarm_critical/Words[0].0 (An array of Int32s also known as DINTs in PLCs, each bit represents 1 fault being either on or off): First, enable Extended Properties under the CommDriver: Then, import the PLC tags and you can simply type "Description" in ...

You can, alternatively, use the Telegram API for free. (I'm sure WhatsApp has some benefits, though). I have different alarms and alerts set up to send Telegram messages to group chats, and it works pretty well. -------------------------------------------

It's working for me in Optix 1.5.3.4 -- I had the same confusion at first over "@Description" or "/Description". After realizing that every node in a project has the "@Description" tag, I realized I had to go re-import my tag with the new /Description data and then try to display it. This was about a ...

When I emulate in an environment without the database set up, it takes about 2 minutes to boot. With the database, it's 7 minutes. This is more of a Disk usage restraint than CPU usage though. As far as actual runtime data it's hard to tell because we have about 3 dozen Web Presentations using our system ...

That's the thing- there is definitely a lot of NetLogic. But am I under the correct impression that DataAcquisitionCore is what communicates with the PLCs? I've tried running intensive NetLogic scripts which only makes the Runtime .exe CPU usage go up a bit, maybe 2-3% while DataAcquisitionCore stays ...

Hello, Essentially, the VM we are running FactoryTalk Optix on is at 90-100% CPU usage any time our SCADA system is up. This is causing everything to crash on a regular basis- about a dozen times per day. A large chunk of that CPU usage is from DataAcquisitionCore and the FactoryTalk Optix Runtime ...

If you don't have an SMTP server to send/receive emails from, another good tool is the Telegram API. I have used this API with FT Optix to send alerts when different PLC values hit different thresholds. Not sure about the integration with GuardianAI, though.

I've personally avoided using anything from Nuget with Optix. I tried just once and I spent the better portion of a day trying to undo the mess and get the Optix project to run again, after different .NET versions changed and I got nasty incompatibility errors. More power to you if you got anything working! ...

However, I know there are ways to write to a PLC tag in a C# WinForm app and Console application, both completely outside of Optix (it works pretty well but the UI/UX is either incredibly sub-par or non-existent compared to Optix). There is a Node.JS library so I would think that's doable. There might ...
