Nice investigation. I have noticed that also with the dynamic link and the alpha channel. @asemlucben what do you make of this? ------------------------------ Data Science Technical Consultant Rockwell Automation ------------------------------ Please don't forget to LIKE and mark the BEST ANSWER: REPLY ...

Yes, I've seen this far too many times before. As I recall, it is a warning and not an error. I don't know what is the reason for it, but other than being annoying in the logs there is no real consequence. ------------------------------ Data Science Technical Consultant Rockwell Automation ------- ...

RE: 5069-L330 / Studio5000 Timers Skipping Forwards?

The timer should not account for any time that the PLC wasn't running and scanning the logic. I would expect that any large jumps of the local clock time be accounted for and corrected in the firmware. You already made some online changes to the controller's clock and it did not cause the timer's accumulated ...

The timer accumulated value is based on time since the last scan of the RTO instruction. Does your logic have any JMP instructions or any other interrupts that could have prevented the RTO from being scanned during 45 minutes? ------------------------------ Data Science Technical Consultant Rockwell ...

RE: FT Optix Studio: Multiple Users Accessing Same Project

Found In Egroup: FactoryTalk Optix \ view thread
I wouldn't say it is a known issue, because it is generally known that only one user can have one copy of a project open at a time. Optix Studio does not place locks on the project files, which would mean that any other user who opens the same project would have it in 'read-only' mode. You might be trying ...

RE: Netlogix InformationModel.RemoteRead() for Extended tag properties (RAEthernetIP)

Found In Egroup: FactoryTalk Optix \ view thread
Maybe this is splitting hairs, but people have been confused by this before so I'll say it. The @Description is not for extended tag properties. That is for the Description field of Optix nodes, if you have added them in Optix Studio. The Logix tag descriptions, as metadata, show up as children of the ...

Normally, the .optixz is the correct way to share the whole project, so you are correct. Unfortunately, the current vendor we use for the Engage site does not allow that extension. Here you must use .zip extension. ------------------------------ Data Science Technical Consultant Rockwell Automation ...

RE: FT Optix OPC UA Server - How to make tags read-only

Hi. Setting OPC UA server nodes to read-only is currently not supported. They will be published with write access.

You make some good points, Mihajlo. There is a large installed base of FT View ME (PanelView) applications out there and many of those users will want/need to migrate to FT Optix at some point. That's why the conversion tool is in development and will be available to our customers. You're correct that ...

Dragging them out of this nesting also moves them on the page. What is the relationship there? Z-axis and relative margin. The further down it appears in the tree, the higher up the Z-axis it is. In other words, what is at the bottom of the tree is drawn on top of everything else in the UI. Also, ...

RE: Set Default fill for Polyline?

Posted By CodeAssist Jun 22, 2026 07:05:00 PM
Found In Egroup: FactoryTalk Optix \ view thread
I see. Yes, that's time consuming. With a lot in one place you could automate it with a design-time NetLogic that would search the whole screen for every instance and change its fill color. But unless you're accustomed to doing that kind of coding, it might take longer to put together than just doing ...

You can set the fill to transparent for each polyline, but I don't believe there is a way to change the default color. This isn't controlled by the style sheet. To set it transparent, use the code #00000000 which is the same as black but with the alpha channel set to 0, (i.e. two more zeros than black), ...

I concur. As someone who has used FT View ME a lot, earlier in my career, and now uses FT Optix exclusively, I know them both very well and I can confirm these software have very little in common. Although a converter will eventually be available that will help with the conversion from View ME to Optix, ...

RE: Optix Deployment Guidelines on a Server

To add to this, there is not any recommendation because all of that is a matter of preference. Optix Studio can live in the same box as the runtime, no problems. I have deployed one of our solutions, powered by Optix, on a customer's server this way. The way we prefer to do it though is to have a server ...

RE: Alarm ID in FT Optix

Hi. I recommend looking in the Template Libraries of Optix Studio. There you will find a folder named Alarm Widgets which you can drap and drop into your project's UI folder. Inside that widgets folder you will find an Alarm Manager and Alarm Summary. These widgets are designed to work well with Logix ...

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure what's going on here. It sounds like you got it to work though? There were some minor changes around tags and imports in the recent 1.7 minor releases. I will also say that when you run the Emulator, the project is deployed to Windows temporary files. If you have ...

Hi and Welcome to Engage! I would say a mixed approach will work best for your needs. Use a repository for the base project which has all the common elements in it. You can clone it, as needed, to start new projects for new customers. Keep the customer-specific components in libraries which are ...
