RE: FTOptix: NavigationPanel Alias Node not working properly

Posted By Johnson Apr 23, 2024 11:24:27 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
Yes, I have already confirmed that. It is just odd that one of the aliases created on one of the panels is not working and other aliases on other panels do. I took a standard approach to the design of my faceplates by using an alias on each panel that gets passed from the Dialog alias and they worked, ...

Below are the steps of what I did with details on the issue. 1. Created an icon called LenzeLiftIconLG. This icon is placed on an overview screen and displays device ID and status. A hidden button is embedded to launch the faceplate. There are 3 alias created for this icon to pass to the faceplate (LenzeLiftTag, ...

RE: FT Optix Error after copy paste UI to another project

Libraries are a nice idea, however the library will not let me add my icons and faceplates because they contain data types that pertain to my PLC project. I have to go thru each icon and faceplate alias and delete the data in the Kind property for all my alias. This would all need to be added back when ...

RE: Optix: Need support for passing program scope tags to faceplate

Yes that does work. I figured that out after my initial post the other day. This appears to be the only way I can refer to program scoped tags. Creating an Alias, to my knowledge only works for variable types, not for paths that point to Program scope tags.

I understand what the alias does and how it works. The imported tags exist under Program:STPxxx where xxx = a STP number. If I create an Alias it is going to ask me for a Kind, and I do not know what to fill in there, since the path to program scope tags is not really a "kind" it is just a path. Is there ...

We have created many tabbed faceplates in FTView ME and I am working on converting that HMI program to Optix. I have a PLC program that uses local program tags for repetative logic. I have created a faceplate for interacting with the station on my conveyor system. The FTView global object icon passes ...

RE: FTOptix: Images not showing up on Nav Panel

Since this post, I just tested some other images and it worked. So apparently the 5 images I chose for each tab were just images the software did not like. Not sure what it did not like about those images, some were BMP and some JPG and they worked fine in FTView ME, which is where I got these images ...

I am working on a nav panel in my dialog box that has 5 tabs on it. In leu of text on the tabs, I want an image icon to use. I browsed to the image path to select the image I wanted but the image does not show on the tab in design mode or running in the emulator. Is there a known issue with images not ...

I am using 1.4.0.2- Beta version. I tried clicking the "Commit" button as you suggested, but still having the same issue. When I create the library and add some items to it, I click the Commit button and then save and close Optix. I then relaunch Optix and that is when I get the same error messages I ...

I am trying to create a local library that consists of some commonly used custom objects that I use on the HMI. These are all set up with Alias data that references my AOI/UDT. I also created custom faceplates for my custom objects as well. I do not want to setup a Github account and jump thru all those ...

RE: FTOptix: How can I setup Alarms that trigger in tags with same UDT/AOI datatype

OK after much research and digging around I am happy to report that I am able to copy data from my UDT INT and DINT arrays to a BoolArray variable in Optix. All of this could have been avoided if Optix had support for importing alarms to the Bit Index Level, but that is not yet supported in the Dynamic ...

Phillip, This will not work for me, since my Fault array tag is a member of a UDT tag in Logix 5000. I would like to keep the PLC program the same as my systems currently have a Panelview Plus and I would like to consider Optix for an HMI in the future. The PLC program would not have to change regardless ...

I tried the Alarm Import/Export Script. It works well with the exception of it will not import to the bit level of my array. I have a UDT tag called System in my PLC. It has a member called Fault that is an INT array[241] This allows me 16 x 241 bits to use as fault bits. System.Fault[0].0 thru ...

We don't use Application Code Manager for our PLC programming. The CSV would more than likely have to be manually created/edited in Excel and then can be imported if that is even possible depending on format. How would one go about importing a csv into Optix Alarms? Can you provide more detail. - ...

Not sure how to ask this question, but I will try and explain it as best I can. I am trying to setup Alarms in Optix that is very similar to how it is set up in FT Alarms and Events or how it is done in Ignition. Where you can specify the members in your datatype that are alarms and any tag created with ...

Phillip, Perhaps I mis-understood your prior reply which showed a screenshot of the 1.3.0.503 beta download. I assumed you were informing me that the Local AOI tag import was available in that particular version. It sounds like it won't be available for another month or 2. Good to know it is being ...
