Hello. As Luca mentioned, you can drag the sizing design-time netlogic from the library to your NetLogic folder, right click, and execute the method. The method will output values to the info log and you can use these values as input in the device sizing tool in FTHub. ------------------------------ ...

Looks like you are pretty close. If I understand correctly, you are trying to add a tab to the navigation panel for each PLC, where the tags are the same and consequently the screen is basically the same as well. If accurate, I would recommend creating a single screen in the UI that has the labels and ...

I worked through a similar example where a "Home Button" would cause a screen selection widget to "slide in". After making a selection or clicking somewhere else, the screen-selector would "slide out". The key to it all was to simply adjust the left margin value of my "screen selector" at runtime and ...

EDIT: linkified indicatwed post for convenience -FL No it is not. You may have missed it in the post below given the replies bouncing around, but this will come with a 1.3.x version. Not sure on the timing for the stable release, but beta is available now. That whole "data object" method was just ...

Hello Jonson. The "data object" workaround I mentioned wouldn't be the recommended path now that multiple aliases are available (beta currently). When you create/configure your dialog box, click the "+" in the top right and add aliases to your dialog box that are required per your use case. Give ...

This is a little hard to describe in just text, but for now when I need to send multiple aliases (multiple PLC UDT's / structures) to a dialog box, I create a "data object" type that has the multiple aliases. Then create instances of this "data object" and assign these aliases to the PLC tags. Then when ...

Well, if you save your project with a different name, or "SaveAs", you will "lose" all your embedded database data because the new project will have a new sqlite file. The Optix Embedded Database isn't a local database for "any" Optix application, but an individual sqlite file for each application. ...

Good point about the emulate vs. local deploy Shane! If you deployed to a runtime vs emulating, that path would change. Example path to .sqlite file when deployed to Optix PC Runtime: C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Rockwell Automation\FactoryTalk Optix\FTOptixApplication\Projects\(project ...

Hello, Assuming we are talking about an embedded database (DataStore), with the DataStore's "In memory" configuration value set to false, Optix will create an .sqlite database file with the DataStore's "Filename" configuration value and place it in the Windows user's AppData directory. If you don't ...
