As far as I can see in your contribution history, you have never answered another person's question on Engage, or added something to someone else's post. Try doing this. I think it would give you a better understanding of what type of context you're missing from your posts. ------------------------- ...

RE: FTOptix: Embedded Database Table Record Limits (1.7.0.804)

Just to add to this... only put this record limit on tables in an embedded database, not ones using ODBC connection. I tried adding it to some tables using an ODBC connection and a warning popped up. After removing the limits, I still get the errors every time I boot up my project haha. It's been an ...

Those GitHub repos are incredibly valuable if you take the time to read through them. Also, this YouTube playlist is very helpful. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3K_BigUXJ1M1-JpRiwIIhzJUbhwtK3yy 2 years ago, using just those GitHub repos, and that YouTube playlist (which were both much more ...

It may behoove you to bookmark some of the examples. That's saved me a lot of hours of digging through the internet. -------------------------------------------

In general, if you copy-paste a "type", you should get a 2nd "type". I do this sometimes when I need to make a significant modification to a "type" that would be better off as a new, separate "type". If you copy-paste the instance of a "type", you should get a 2nd instance, not a 2nd "type". ----- ...

I'd be interested to see what stbDateTime does. At first glance I wouldn't blame threading- but seeing the bigger picture how/where you're calling this could clarify that. -------------------------------------------

RE: FTOptix 1.6.5.1, Why does Value.ToString() append a type to the result?

Posted By Noah Jan 27, 2026 03:22:00 PM

As you've found, .ToString() is subtly different from simply casting a variable to a string. You are probably looking for this (Assume TableName is a string variable in your NetLogic): Manually cast the Value to a string: string Table = (string) LogicObject.GetVariable("TableName").Value; ...

RE: Any way to assign more RAM to FTOptix Runtime .exe OR DataAcquisitionCore.exe to releive 99% CPU usage bottleneck?

Yeah Admin is pretty important there. On a local machine, one of my colleagues exited out of the Admin prompt instead of putting in credentials, and was never able to get that Admin prompt to show up even again, so he couldn't use the emulator to its full extent after that. Eventually he did a full factory ...

Interesting. How are you re-booting it? I wrote my own C# script that detects if the system is down, and if so, it runs the .exe pointing to the Optix project. I was thinking about capturing the CPU and memory usage as well at that point and storing it somewhere so I could check it later. That could ...

Update: Upgrading from 1.5.3.4 and 1.6.2.36 has made a massive improvement. 30-50% CPU with some spikes at 55% or so. Our actual SCADA system on the web browser also runs a bit faster. Whatever you guys changed, keep doing that. Haha. -------------------------------------------

Just curious why zoom on Trace and Range mode on Trends is disabled now? We just upgraded from 1.5.3.4 to 1.6.2.36 and so far we're happy with it, CPU usage seems to be a bit lower and our project is crashing less, but I noticed this odd quirk. I appreciate that it's in the changelog so I know it's intentional-- ...

That's a really nice loading screen. Probably the best way I've seen load time handed in Optix. -------------------------------------------

That's a good point. It does look like all the cores max out, usually at the same time: -------------------------------------------

I was just wondering why I didn't have to add @Value. I went down the @Description rabbit hole and eventually realized what I was doing wrong. In general I would think @Value is best practice but it worked without. -------------------------------------------

We bought the Unlimited version of Optix so we could have more than 50 connections because we were maxing out at times. So it can be 4-5 dozen sometimes. I understand that's a lot of overhead but unfortunately my hands are tied there. It's a good problem to have, though, because it means everybody is ...

For example, to get the text description of Alarm_critical/Words[0].0 (An array of Int32s also known as DINTs in PLCs, each bit represents 1 fault being either on or off): First, enable Extended Properties under the CommDriver: Then, import the PLC tags and you can simply type "Description" in ...

You can, alternatively, use the Telegram API for free. (I'm sure WhatsApp has some benefits, though). I have different alarms and alerts set up to send Telegram messages to group chats, and it works pretty well. -------------------------------------------

It's working for me in Optix 1.5.3.4 -- I had the same confusion at first over "@Description" or "/Description". After realizing that every node in a project has the "@Description" tag, I realized I had to go re-import my tag with the new /Description data and then try to display it. This was about a ...
