FTOptix: Does runtime have any locally visible parts?

Posted By Splash Apr 16, 2026 11:25:00 AM
Found In Egroup: Advanced Software \ view thread
I installed the runtime on a DMZ machine and I'm waiting for SecOps to provision the ports, is there any visible evidence that the runtime is there and operating? I have the entitlement manager on the desktop and have (offline) activated it, and I see a the Optix Application update service, but I would ...

FTOptix: key value pair formatting

I have the same formatting applied to all 4 textboxes and 3 out of 4 change as expected. P1 does not. The text changes but the color does not. I'm missing something that's not obvious, what could it be? ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ ------------------------------

Thanks to you both. I appreciate the screenshot, the doc didn't quite lay it out clearly enough for my IQ score. Took a while to discover that I had to close that dialog before I could edit a key value table. That was so far from intuitive I only found out by accident. ------------------------------ ...

Ahh I thought I could run both on the same machine. Studio is the chatty one and the runtime is just what it should be. I only have a brief experience on the Optix panel I got at training a while back . Gotta relearn this thing now. You folks are having all the fun. ------------------------------ ...

FTOptix: Can it work without Internet access?

Can Optix work in a secured network with no internet access and very restricted networking ? For example: only permit port 44818 between Optix and a single controller routed through a firewall ? Its a very chatty app in its default config and I have to put it somewhere it can't do that. ------- ...

Thanks, that pretty much defeats the purpose of the zones though doesn't it? May I assume there are no third party graphics for this kind of thing? I couldn't find any in my brief search. ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ ------------------------------

How does one animate the position of the colored sections on this (or any other) gauge on View designer? I can see how to change colors but not how to move them where they need to be. In addition, are there additional or third party graphics available for these yet? ------------------------------ ...

"... point to specific elements of the data type" I did NOT notice that but now I do . I will get that AOI and see if I can handle it. ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ ------------------------------

This is the first all Ethernet VFD set I have done. Done plenty with discrete control and therefore brought very little extra data to the HMI screen. The data I wanted was always in the default Datatype or I GSV'd it . Only this week did I learn I can add to that Connection. Old dogs you know... So ...

That would just move the issue elsewhere. Its not a big deal, just inconvenient because the datatype used in the AOI has to match to work of course so its not as universal as I would have liked. I'm not smart enough to package it up so that the AOI is created FROM however the configuration ends up. ...

I see now, a new one gets created every time I add a parameter to that list. Wish I could rename those, I have an AOI that would appreciate a standard datatype name :) ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ ------------------------------

OK really showing my ignorance here. I got the right AOP but its missing some of the deeper status data I expected to see. Bus Voltage error codes and similar internal datapoints that the other 755 (not TL) I have elsewhere provides. It's my first TL and am not currently able to connect to the drive ...
