  2. Citect Scada Modent Bit Read

    hmwright posted a topic in HMI & SCADA

    Hi team; I am struggling with a Citect SCADA read of some data. The system is using the "Modnet3" driver over TCP/IP to talk with a system (Modnet 3 as its TCP/IP with first register at 0 and 0 to 15 bits). I am reading the modbus data into variables which is working fine for the analogue values all defined as real in citect. The Issue I have is that the driver help says I can direct reference a bit in a word, in my case address 45052.1 Holding register 45052 and Bit 1. If I read this as a UINT I get a value of 147 corresponding to bits 1,2,5 and 8. Citect generates no errors for the tag setup where I define 45052.0 through 45052.15 but all remain as zero in tag lists.  Any help would be fantastic Kindest Regards Howard
  3. Dear Experts, I don’t have much knowledge and now working for a new project of cross-country Oil transportation pipeline SCADA. It’s a pipeline of more than 200 Km with 2 terminals (dispatch & receiving) and several valve stations through the pipeline will be connected with the central SCADA. The communication will be done by OFC placed along the pipeline. Apps of Leak detection system (LSD) have to supply and integrated with the SCADA system. Please suggest me which SCADA software should we use/suitable for the oil transportation pipeline? (ABB/Siemens/honeywell/else) Thanks.
  4. Hello, I need to enter double confirmation on some buttons but I can't figure out how to configure it. Has anyone ever configured double confirmation on button? (citect scada) Thank you
  5. Hello everyone! I would like to connect a Micrologix 1100 with Citect 7.5 via ABMLXEIP (updated to latest version). I tried everything and it is still not working. The Citect and the PLC are on the same subnet and the ping works fine. All the configuration is done as the manual says (I attach the pictures). I have one NIC card and is connected to the PLC. The role is setted to “Server and Control Client”. The kernel has this error: [ERROR] [CORE] [0x07fc] [IOServer] [(GLOBAL)] [ErrorLog()][errlog.cpp] [266 ] Error: Channel offline, cannot talk CINIT 0015 PORT1_BOARD1 IODev_1100 Error_in_CMD-2 16 Generic 000021 Driver 00000020 (0x00000014) Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Gustavo.
  6. Hi every one. I have strange problem with Modbus communication in Citect 2018. I am communicating to the site switches through Modbus TCP protocol using MODNET driver and reading its sates. I am reading data from Input registers (registers addresses starts from 3x). In default, MODNET driver initializes communication trying conecting to holding register 40001 so I changed initialization in citect.ini to address 30001 because driver didn't want to establish connection because switches don't support holding registers. Now, connection to switches is working but only when page is open where I showing data from them. When I change the page, Citect loses communication and inform this showing alarm on HW alarm page. When I again open page where I show read data, communication back again. Where could be a problem? I will mention that I have more different Modbus TCP devices in project configured and with them don't have such problem. The only difference is that I am reading from holding registers and initialize parameter in citect.ini is not defined for them as for switches.
  7. Dear all, I have a FX2N-20MR chinese semi-clon of a Mitsubishi PLC. It has only a serial DB9 port that cannot be removed or exchanged (which is possible in the Mitsubishi original PLC). I wonder if I can make a simple SCADA system using that port and just one computer. I am reading this post: https://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/topic/9653-fx-series-and-modbus/ And I am wondering how I can do what it is suggested there in the second message:  to use a free FB block, available in GX IEC (but not in GX Developer), which will communicate modbus via a standard RS232 BD board. Later on it mentions a library called ModbSFX. That message is from 15 years ago so I am wondering if now there is some other way to do it, perhaps some other software has that functionality? I don't have GX IEC. I am a student trying to make a project so I would like a cheap and simple solution. Any help to do so will be very welcome. Thanks Regards Marcelo
  8. Hello, I need to replace an obsolete twido PLC to Modicon TM2221ME32TK and in the process would like to get the variables back into Citect SACDA V7.2 I have been reading up on REad_var and write_var but am seeking clarification on how to get the existing %MW, digital inputs %I0.0 etc and outputs  %Q0.0 mapped into modbus registers so SCADA can read them.  I intend to use modbus TCP/IP communcations with the ethernet/ip adaptor.  Do i need to use read and write_var to map into the addresses? Please find attached existing PLC code.   PLC.twd

  10. I am now part of a startup company based on energy optimisation of HVAC in buildings. I am assigned to have research on which SCADA system to select for HVAC energy optimisation. The model is in such a way that, we need to create a SCADA / HMI for the client's building on top of existing Building Management System (BMS) to achieve energy saving.  I am still an intern and I am requested to research on various SCADA options available in the market. I have few doubts regarding: 1. How can I select one SCADA / HMI over the other?  2.GE Cimplicity and Niagara 4 are two option which I am interested in. What is the major difference between both? (Price and functionality) 3. Is Tridium Niagara 4 a SCADA software? ( I read about it but I didn't understand as I am new to this field). Is it same like tia portal which is a software that is used to program plc and create user interface??

  13. Here is my setup - Factorytalk view SE V 7.0 with Primary and secondary servers. System gets replicated from primary to secondary once in a week. After the primary server was restarted due to some issue, all the HMI tags lost their values. 'Retentive' checkbox was checked on all HMI tags, initial value field is blank. According to the description of 'Retentive' field in the help file, the HMI tag should hold its value even after the server is restarted if the box is checked. Also, secondary server should have held those same values while primary was rebooting, but as of now all my HMI tags field are blanks. Am I looking at a patch roll up here?
  14. Hi there! I'm trying to communicate HMIS5T HMI with a Modicon Micro TSX3722001 PLC. The communication is OK, but whenever I try to enter some data into a numeric display I get an error that says "Method or function in Communications System unsupported" and data won't change on PLC's Animation Table. Also, if I modify a variable's value in PL7 Pro, the value in the HMI numeric display won't change properly. It displays the last digit of the binary format of the number (let's say I write a "3" on PL7 Pro, then I get a "1" on the numeric display, despite all data types being UINT, and all ranges are OK. Then if I write any number which binary version ends in 0, I get that 0 on the numeric display, nothing else. Again, all data types and ranges are OK). Changing variables' source on Vijeo Designer to Internal doesn't seem to work. So I'm wondering what else must I do in order to send and receive data from/to HMI and PLC?    Thanks in advance and I hope you can help me! Update: Got this solved. For anyone wondering, Vijeo Designer 6.2 SP8 it's kinda buggy with Unitelway communication. There's a hotfix that solves this problem, provided free by Schneider.

  17. Datamap Tests

    FightingMongoose posted a topic in GE

    Hi All, Bit of a noob here. I started a new project where the client is upgrading their SCADA system, and as such every discrete needs to be toggled, and every analog range needs to be tested. I've created an excel database with every register, however, changing the value in the tag is too manual for me and I'm trying to find a way to increase the automation. I am looking for a solution where I can write directly with the tags instead of fumbling through the horror which is Proficy. I've seen some mentions of using the trial version of Ignition but I am struggling to get that to a useable state.    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  19. Hello, I am trying to have single press and double press etc. functionality in my PLC program where for example, single press will turn on the motor whereas double press will turn on the motor for 5 seconds. Is it possible to achieve using ladder logic in sysmac studio, if yes, how? Thank you in advance.
  20. Hi All, Have recently embarked on a project that has required me to change over to GX Works 3 in order to link an IQ-R120PCPU to a Citect 2018 SCADA package . In days gone by under IEC Developer and GX Works 2 it was quite easy to establish communications between the programming package running in simulation mode and a running Citect system using the MXCOMP driver via MX Components to perform offline testing. Can't seem to find a way to get it to work under GX Works 3 though, has anyone tried a similar setup Simulated logic in GX Works 3 is running fine and can modify the IO from inside MX Components "PLC Monitor Utility" program so there is no issues there, just cant get Citect to communicate. MX Component comm's has also been proven reading/writing variable to an excel sheet with GX Works 3 in simulation mode also. Attached are the files for getting GX Works 2 up and communicating to Citect 2018 via the same method i am trying to get working in GX Works 3 in case anyone ever needs to use that method. Any help would be appreciated.     GXWORKS 2 & CITECT 2018.zip

  21. Check serial connection to Omron PLC

    lironhallak posted a topic in Omron

    Hello, I am building an application in CitectSCADA and I want to communicate with an Omron Sysmac CS1G. The connection between the plc and the Citect computer is through an ethernet to serial adapter (the computer doesn't have com ports on board). I'm having some difficulty establishing the communication and I want to make sure that I can actually reach the plc. Is there a way to check that the computer can reach the plc over the serial connection without using CX programmer? Maybe using Hyper Terminal, Putty or something similar. Thank you, Liron
  22. I am pretty new to the SCADA world. I wanted to know what are the advantages of using a paid proprietary SCADA software such as WinCC, Wonderware, cimplicity over free software such as OpenSCADA, OpenAPI, IndigoSCADA and so on. I have read, there are more layers of security in the paid one. What does that mean? What are the other main differences between the paid and free ones out there in the market?
  23. Hi ya,  can someone please advise if it is possible to add a text box that the user can enter a name / description to.  I am hoping the user can select the text box and a pop up keyboard will appear for them to enter a description on a magelis hmi.  I look forward to your advise. 
  24. I am having a problem getting citect to write to my sql database.  Whilst it will write I am restricted by the length of a single cicode command. I think its 255 characters. For my problem I am trying to write 48 tags to the database in one write command to obtain 1 time stamp. Is it possible to write multiple times to the same tables row ? Currently when I write a new row is created at the given timestamp. the cicode is attached. A solution would be to do 4 writes of 12 tags at a time but all would need to go in the same MSSQL table row. I'm ok using the data instead of time and date as this write only happens once each day Any help would be awesome..   *********************************************************************************************************************************** /* **    FILE:        SpurLoad.CI ** * Load Tags from Citect in TO temp array */ STRING tagname[24]="M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0000","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0030","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0100","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0130","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0200","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0230","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0300","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0330","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0400","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0430","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0500","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0530","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0600","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0630","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0700","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0730","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0800","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0830","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0900","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD0930","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD1000","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD1030","M340_PwrCtrl_SLD1100"; /* add array TO hold values */ STRING tagval[24]; INT hSQL; FUNCTION SQL_INSERT_lds() /* Loop FOR number of tags (13 lots of 30 min) TO be read adding to array Variables */ INT i;     FOR i = 0 TO 21 DO              tagval = TagRead(tagname);              END      /* Open ODBC connection TO CitectDB configured in ODBC Manager with DSN_SQL */          hSQL = SQLConnect("DSN=DSN_SQL"); /* IF connection IS OK, insert in TO table "lds" the values */ IF hSQL <> -1 THEN     SQLExec(hSQL, "INSERT INTO lds (dateandtime,S0000,S0030,S0100,S0130,S0200,S0230,S0300,S0330,S0400,S0430,S0500,S0530,S0600,S0630,S0700,S0730,S0800,S0830,S0900,S0930,S1000,S1030) VALUES (SYSDATETIME(),'"+tagval[0]+"','"+tagval[1]+"','"+tagval[2]+"','"+tagval[3]+"','"+tagval[4]+"','"+tagval[5]+"','"+tagval[6]+"','"+tagval[7]+"','"+tagval[8]+"','"+tagval[9]+"','"+tagval[10]+"','"+tagval [11]+"','"+tagval[12]+"','"+tagval[13]+"','"+tagval[14]+"','"+tagval[15]+"','"+tagval[16]+"','"+tagval[17]+"','"+tagval[18]+"','"+tagval[19]+"','"+tagval[20]+"','"+tagval[21]+"')");     SQLEnd(hSQL);     SleepMS(100); SQLDisconnect(hSQL); ELSE     Message("Error Message","SQL TRADING DAY DATABASE WRITE FAIL",48); END END   SpurLoad.ci
  25. Hi All, Hope you all doing well in this pandemic life.  I would need your expertise with an issue I have been struggling with for past few days and thought to reach out here. I am working on a migration project with GE PLC and Citect SCADA 7.10. The GE PLC is migrated to ControlLogix L74 Rev24.10 while Citect SCADA is retained. For testing I only have L71 and L82 and could not managed to organise L74. When the code the loaded in L71 and connected to Citect, I cannot see tags in Graphic page but I see the subscription.txt in Debug folder shows all tags good . The same code when loaded in L82, the Citect works instantly.  Does anyone know this behaviour of PLC and SCADA? Regards, DeeEngr
