Thanks Batman! Is this something that started happening after awhile (when before it was working properly)? I don't know if I can answer this with too much confidence. Sometimes we see it occasionally after install, other times it seems to 'appear', but we support a lot of locations, so it's ...

Hello all! Couple of questions about DSL encoder feedback. We use a lot of VPH servo's in heavy washdown environments where we end up with lots of issues with signal integrity. Heavy washdown and equipment design which doesn't allow allow for ideal cable routing. I was looking at the 5700 ...

Interesting. What is generating your text string? Is there a chance for that one box you have a space char instead of it being totally blank? I am no authority on best-practice, but in order to stop me from breaking my own Optix programs, I try and always tie back to a PLC tag. (I assume ...

Attaching a picture, to make it really clear. In this case this is using a string formatter to display a percentage with two decimals. -------------------------------------------

Roy, Not sure if this is related or not, but I had an issue a few months ago that sounds very similar. See thread here. Is there any chance you or someone else made large changes to the PLC or imported a large number of tags? -------------------------------------------

The edits in the PLC are left as pending still? Tested. The status of the edits in the PLC does not have any effect. See if the HMI becomes responsive again, without a connection to the PLC. I should clarify, Optix is still responsive, can open and close dialog boxes exc... But the ...

I am still working with TechConnect trying to find the root cause of why it didn't work with the new Optix installed, but I do have it rolled back for now and it is working again... @AutomateSHANE I was under the same impression, because when I tried to re-download with a older version of ...

Do you know how to get the old version of optix back on a optix panel? I had originally tried to re-download using a old version of optix, but that did not work to send down the old runtime. -------------------------------------------

I will try this. Unfortunately I cant wait for 1.7, the other 'working' panel is just in a duplicate system. This panel is still in-op. -------------------------------------------

I have a PF527 running a conveyor, yesterday they had some issues and ended up rebooting to get it running again. The axis fault was a 'runtime error', anyone have a good place to start on this? -------------------------------------------

When this issue first appeared the panel was not up-to-date, it was running FW 4.0.4.68. I have sense updated it to 6.0.1.168, but have not seen any change. Additionally, the 'working' panel is running FW 4.0.4.68 -------------------------------------------

I'll give it a shot next week and report back. We have a line in the shop we could try on. When this issue came up initially we went with the 'nuclear option' just to get the line back up and running without issues.
