RE: FTOptix: Best Methods for Displaying PLC Data in a Matrix

Both are things I've considered. I believe the most reasonable method and the one I considered the best in this situation is what you suggested first. As this is an application where depending on the customer where this project or a variant of it is deployed the number of rows and columns in the datagrid ...

FTOptix: Best Methods for Displaying PLC Data in a Matrix

I'm working on converting an older dot-net program over to an optix program and a portion of that includes tables or datagrids in optix terms. The thing that makes this a bit more interesting is that the data coming from the PLC uses multiple Single dimensional arrays as columns and in some cases those ...

@Ash it does appear as those options must have become available in one of the 1.7 updates.

@ASH I'll take a look at that because I believe that would likely work for my use case. I haven't taken a look at it since 1.6 so it may be that it was added in 1.7 because last time I looked it I don't remember the RAAlarmData object being available in the UI for under the alarm condition, specifically ...

RE: FT Optix: Combo Box with Query doesn't retain PLC value when Optix is restarted

I originally was using an enumeration for the combo box though that using that doesn't provide the functionality of using a where clause to filter the second combo box in each set as Luben pointed out in this post, which is hunch as a part of what is causing this behavior in conjunction with your idea ...

I have two sets of two combo boxes where the first combo box in a set determines the values available in the second combo box. The interesting thing that I have found with this particular use case is that when I link the selected value of the second combo box to a PLC tag when I restart the optix ...

Thanks for the info there. I've moved to using objects in a folder so I can have that functionality without having to setup a DB that would have to be initialized each time the project is deployed to a new device. So to do what I am wanting currently this is the method I have used for those following ...

For some background I am trying to setup 2 combo boxes that are using an enumeration as the model in this case the enumeration model would be the same. The first combo box is meant to display all of the Display Names of each value of the enumeration, and the second combo box is meant to show the display ...

FT Optix Edge: Downgrade firmware

Posted By MikRED97 Apr 15, 2026 03:33:00 PM
Found In Egroup: FactoryTalk Optix \ view thread
I was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find the firmware to downgrade an OptixEdge from 6.0.3.92 to 6.0.1.168 (this is the version that is available for the OptixPanel that supports 1.6 runtime)? I realized that 6.0.3.92 only supports 1.7 runtime when I tried to deploy a 1.6.5.1 application ...

I'll give you an example. Here I have a Motor Object that I reuse and to be able to reference the custom colors defined in the custom session variable you have to use the key value converter that can be created when creating an advanced dynamic link for the element you are trying to assign a color to. ...

I did pick up on that. I was able to jump on a call and Seger pointed me to the example application as opposed to the quickstart guide which is what I probably should have started off with from the beginning to understand how all of the puzzle pieces work together. --------------------------------- ...

We're on the same page there. What I was trying to convey in my last post is that in the DataReady library V1.00.02 for Optix 1.6.5.1 had already included the Smart Objects V1.00.01, so following the guide to setup the DataReady library included adding the Smart Objects Library to the project.

@Seger Is there a difference between the Smart Objects included in the DataReady library 1.00.02 and the Smart Objects in 1.00.01? By the looks of things Smart Objects V1.00.01 was included in the DataReady library, since everything including dates on the files seem to be the same once extracted. ...

@General Quarters not a bad suggestion there but in the PCDC I'm only able to find 1.00.02 available for download, though per the release notes included in the 1.00.02 release they were available at one point. Looking at the release notes DataReady has only been available since November 2025 and 1.00.02 ...

I was digging into DataReady library and have run into a number of roadblocks trying to get everything working. I followed the quick-start guide found in the library documentation and it doesn't seem like I got it working properly. In this instance I started using the optix template in 1.7.1.46 only ...
