RE: Optix Tag Imports - What am I missing

Found In Egroup: FactoryTalk Optix \ view thread
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 multiple ...

RE: Git/version control strategy for large FactoryTalk Optix projects with customer-specific variants

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 synced ...

You can certainly share it here. Either myself or @asemlucben might be able to look into it, but the time we can spend here is sometimes sporadic. That's why I mentioned if you're sure something is not acting as it should, submitting a ticket with Tech Support is a good idea because it's their day job ...

With regards to the Modelling Rule, is there any further help anywhere I can take a look at? Eh, yes and no. Unfortunately, The Modelling Rules concept isn't something that is documented well in the Optix Help officially. It comes from the OPC UA spec, but you would need to do quite a bit of reading ...

It's hard to tell exactly what's going on here without seeing it for myself and having the time to analyze it. However, some of that (particularly the part about added properties not propagating to instances) sounds like it could just be a matter of setting the Modelling Rule properly. If you right-click ...

RE: FT Optix: Diving deeper into certain built-in object error codes

Ok, but if the sync with a BitBucket repo is corrupting or changing something you will need to do some investigative work to narrow it down. Not every failure will have a super descript message telling you exactly what went wrong. Since you have a working project and a non-working one (cloned from remote ...

I will say that this sounds normal. When you select an SVG file in Optix, it will load it and cache it. If you make a change to that file outside of Optix Studio, you need to either re-select it from within Optix Studio so that it will load and cache the latest, or restart Optix Studio. ---------- ...

You could temporarily enable verbose logging (via Optix Studio settings) and try again. By chance, there could be something printing to the verbose logs that indicate how far it made right before failure. Otherwise, try to create a simple/basic report and see if that works. Use process of elimination ...

What you described with the proximity sensors used to be a kit which came with a monitoring relay that had two inputs and a pair of proximity sensors, one with a N.O. output and one with a N.C. That went obsolete several years ago and I don't believe there was ever a 1:1 replacement. I used those in ...

For strict security reasons, you cannot load just anything and everything neither remotely or locally when using the WPE. You must explicitly allow certain resources. If you look at the properties of the WPE, you will find a field where you can specify which resources to allow: There are also ...

I'm really not sure, to be honest. I doubt this would give any new information: https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/docs/factorytalk-optix/current/contents-ditamap/extending-projects/netlogic/tag_import.html I think the offline import will be more challenging, but when Luca gets back to the office ...

Hi and welcome to Engage! The first thing to check would be the device runtime logs. You can get this through the system manager interface by entering the panel's IP address into a web browser on a connected PC. You can also connect to the panel locally using FactoryTalk Remote Access and see some ...

It's a binary file that can package the certs and keys, so while it may contain the same info that would be in .PEM and .DER files, the encoding is different. I'm seeing the same thing that you may be able to generate a .PEM file from it using OpenSSL. What is the cert for, by the way? --------- ...

Yes, for Windows runtime that is true. The header bar is there so that you can click on and manipulate the Optix runtime window, without clicking on anything in the app itself. There is no way to turn it off if you aren't using the runtime in Fullscreen mode. There is a command method you can use in ...

This is because the link to the RecipeList folder is essentially just a generic pointer. It carries no context of what is in there, so the selection dialog can't give you any options to select. In order to give it context, you need to hit the black arrow next to Model to expand it and then link a data ...
