Hi Adam, I think the best course of action is indeed to raise a ticket with us as we may need to discuss this with R&D to see if connection to Citrix has been experienced elsewhere. Please contact your local support centre using your preferred method as shown here: https://www.rockwellautomation.c ...

RE: VBA module does not unload when display closes

Correct on both counts however the memory usage will be small but if you have a large complex display with many objects and connections then it is better to cache it as it gives a better experience for the operator as the display opening and data update is almost immediate. We recommend that you ...

Its possible that the display is being cached so you should check the Display properties to see if this option has been selected. Also the display that is being called is it set as a Replace type (again on the display properties) as this would not close the display it is being called over. Both situations ...

Morning Tomasz, The compare of a PanelView Plus\.mer file differs from an .acd file in that it is only a cheksum compare so it will just tell you that the file is different and will not give a breakdown of those differences. However, it should still give a message back to the Audit Log that it has ...

Global Connections are great if you are using a PanelView or View ME Runtime however the best tool for the job in View SE is the Event Detector. This provides a mechanism to construct some expression such as 'tagname=1' to trigger an action such as popping up a display. This can of course be as simple ...

You should initially take a look at the FactoryTalk Diagnostic log selection and see if there are any more descriptive messages that might help. You should be able to expand the individual error messages to show three or four more. It might also be worth initially creating an Endpoint in Kepware without ...

Hi Marco, You could use the Interlocked button object to acheive this. With this object you would add five Interlocked buttons to the display and in the connections tab assign the same Analog tag to the Value field. On the value tab set an exclusive value for each button under the Button Value heading. ...

As Kristopher mentions you would generally use the Display properties from within View Studio to design your required Display Client size as this prevents any scaling issues between design and runtime. If you do need any additional flexibility then the CLient configuration does allow you to either specify ...
