Found In Egroup: Networks \ view thread
Thank you that does help clarify. Unfortunately, we have VLANs for different machine areas. Example 192.168.27.xxx = VLAN 27, 192.168.26.xxx = VLAN 26, etc. I was hoping I could get to all via the FTRA point (4300). I am going to talk with our IT, because I know from our office port I can hit all of ...

Thank you that was the problem. Something so simple yet I didn't think of it. Now I just need to figure out why once I deploy it to the optix panel the bottom bar graph does not show. It works fine on local PC emulator but when deployed no go. The first panel I deployed it on it works as it should, ...

We have the 1783-RA2TGB which we do have connected to the FTHub. My question comes in on the Interfaces page where you configure the addresses. For the LAN port we are assigning an address, however I see that you can add multiple addresses. What is the purposes of this? I thought this port was for ...

Follow-up time. I had some time to focus on this again and found that on the ParetoChart Object I did not have the From and to dynamic links filled in. (different than the one that is working) I corrected that and downloaded again and now Part of the chart works; i.e. the top now shows alarms, but ...

So I did start from new. I don't know if I did it correct, but I don't get any build errors now. However I do not know how to get the variable out of the NetLogic. I added a variable to the NetLogic called NumberOfActiveSessions and display that but it is always 0. How do I get the variable out of the ...

Optix Panel and Remote Access Thoughts

I'm posting this question here rather than in the networks forum since I'm using FactoryTalk Remote Access Local Connection to connect to an Optix Panel. My current workflow involves using FTRA local connection to access an Optix Panel, where I verify no one is actively using it before transferring ...

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for any confusion I have or will cause. Let me try to clarify what I'm looking for: Current Challenge: Right now, we can only detect when carriers enter one of 8 zones, but these zones are quite large. Because of this at this current time I'm also looking for guidance ...

I'm looking to develop a system for tracking products on our overhead conveyor. Our setup uses numbered carriers that transport loads throughout the facility, and I need to monitor their movement and location. I'd appreciate any guidance, examples, or best practices from anyone who has implemented similar ...

Hi, Quick question about FT Optix workflows while I contemplate whether my coffee will freeze before I finish it. It's a balmy -7°F with wind chill today, dropping to a crisp -20°F tomorrow (without wind chill, because apparently Mother Nature decided we needed the full experience). 🥶 Perfect ...

I like the way you are thinking and would love to try it this way. Unfortunately, we already purchased and are using the Stratix 4300's. They do work great but just want to get to this last step. I'm guessing I will end up having to use the output in the end but wanted to verify if I was missing something. ...

We have a Stratix 4300 that's set up and functioning well. We're using the digital input to disable access via a selector switch mounted on an enclosure door. My question is: Is there a way to monitor the status of this input to determine whether it's active or not? They're asking me if we can receive ...

Thank you for finding this out. I have taken a look and definitely want to incorporate for future projects where our controllers are newer then V32.
