  1. Hello, I have a Q02CPU and QJ71E71-100 terminal and want to do a simple test of the Fernhill SCADA system. I have successfully connected the Fernhill software project to my PLC and gotten a word variable from the PLC be represented by a tag in the Fernhill SCADA system. However, I have issues doing the same for my bit variables. In Fernhill they should be internal relays but I get error 4031h in Fernhill: Melsec Error 4031h - The specified device number is outside the device range. I do not understand what is wrong. My PLC variables are each a global variable, internal relay in other words. In Fernhill I define each tag as an internal relay. The "device" from my simplified understanding is the identity of the variable in the PLC. It matches the PLC and Fernhill as shown in the pictures provided. Thanks in advance! PS. I don't get the error if I define the tags as Data Registers instead like I did for the analog variable. But 1) That is not what they are and 2) The tags don't change when the PLC variable is modified. Just a bit suspicious that it stops complaining when it is clearly incorrect...
  2. Proficy iFix 5.8 SCADAs crashing

    So, our plant has Proficy iFix 5.8 running on a handful of Windows 7 VM's, which, form my understanding, are running 24/7. However, since before a got here, they have had an issue where iFix will crash usually every couple of months, leading to screens and panels not looking right and freaking out everyone at the plant, and we reboot the VM. Apparently, we have always tried to reboot them every 3 months or so. Long story short, this is a difficult thing to organize at our plant. I would prefer to know why this is happening in the first place and try to fix that problem if possible. I was wondering if anyone else has experience this type of issue or may have any idea why this happens or if this is normal. I can barely find anything useful pertaining to iFix, online. I have attached a pic of what I see in Windows event viewer before rebooting the VMs. This is what mostly caught my attention: Faulting application name: CONMGR.EXE, version: 5.8.8255.0, time stamp: 0x5240ee18 Faulting module name: MSVCR100.dll, version: 10.0.40219.325, time stamp: 0x4df2be1e I haven't been able to find anything concerning Connection Manager either. Any information is appreciated.
  3. Omron plc to Citect Scada communication

    Hi Guys, I need some suggestion & solution regarding my recent project. The CQM1H plc which was used earlier is burnt and I am replacing it with CJ2M series Omron plc. Program transfer is possible from CQM1H to CJ2M. But the main issue is the system is controlled by Citect SCADA version 5.50 pack C. The communication of plc and Scada is through 2wire twisted pair cable. I just wanted to know when I replace the plc and convert the program do I have to change any settings or parameters in Scada? If I keep the same previous plc parameter in new plc and check the tags correctly in new plc as per old plc then the new system will communicate with Scada? I am new to citect scada so please provide your support and help.
  4. Hello,           I have installed Simatic S7 5.6 and WinCC Flexible 2008 Runtime SP5 on a Windows 7 computer.  Running Simatic Manager brings up the error message 'Simatic WinCC flexible  -  Older version or not fully installed'            as far as I know, WinCC 2008 is compatible with S7 5.6 and I have installed both fully.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this running? Thanks, Rath

  6. I'm having a problem creating variable tag array in Citect SCADA V7.40. I looked every possible help, user guide... but no matter how i set array I cannot change value of any element of array beside first one. I configured my variable tag as shown below: Tag name: TestArray I/O Device: Internal (it's an OPC Factory Server) Address: V500[5], %MF4000[5], I2[5], F2[5] (I tried every one of these for REAL or INTEGER type based on user guide/forum posts) Data type: REAL, INTEGER   I tried every one of these but without success. If i try to set value of variable tag array element, example TestArray[1] and TestArray[4], by typing value in Number field (in Citect Runtime) every element of an array is giving me message #ERR, except first one. Other than that in Citect Runtime in All variable tags window, I can see TestArray tag as a single tag, not as an array Note that i'm not using these tags in Cicode but in Graphic Builder / Runtime. I need about about 50 user defined value tags to be sent to SQL DB by SCADA so remote PLC can read those values in order to define state of outputs. I would highly appreciate any kind of help, any tip. Thanks in advance!
  7. I have an inquiry about the best IoT plan for an alarm system that sends SMS notifications. Our company is currently deploying an alarm system, and we would like to configure it to send SMS notifications to at least 10 cell phones in case of any incidents.   We are planning to use a cellular modem connected to the main server, which would have a SIM card from AT&T. However, we are not sure which IoT plan to select for this purpose.   Based on our requirements, we would like to receive SMS notifications for any incidents that occur on our alarm system. We estimate that we would send around 100 SMS messages daily, with an average message size of 160 bytes. We would also need to ensure that the data usage for SMS messages is kept to a minimum. Has anybody worked with an AT&T plan that allows sending and receive SMS's for alarm notifications?
  8. Hi there! I'm dealing with some ActiveX object issues in a CX-Supervisor SCADA project. The thing is that the computer where the runtime was running failed and was replaced. The project used a couple of dropdown list objects that worked in the older PC, but now everytime it access or calls the ActiveX object in some way, an error saying the object couldn't be found appears in the error register and the runtime stops working. I've been reading about Activex and Cx-Supervisor and I tried installing NI Measurement Studio, as it appears to be the software related to the objects in the project, but this didn't fix it. I see in the 'Csutomize Toolbox' window near activex objects, that there are plenty of options to choose, but I got no information about this window online. So my question here is: is there any 'standard' ActiveX object type that works on any PC, or am I missing something?   Thanks in advance!

  14. CITECT OMFINS3 Serial

    Hello. I'm having problems communicating with omron CJ1m through SERIAL port. I'm using OMFINS3 protocol. Settings: Citect.ini  Source: 0/10/0  10..Last IP Address (used for TCP/IP) BOARD: BOARD1, COMx PORT: PORT1, PORT Nr=1, BOARD1, 9600, 7 ,2, EVEN DEVICE: OMR_SER, Dev Nr= 1, Address: 0/0/0/S, PROT: OMFINS3, PORT: PORT1 If the Unit number = 0, this works.

  16. Hi All, Has anyone had the experience of connecting two Fernhill Scada units using an OPC UA?  I am intending to use Fernhill Scada on my Master PLC to read tags from my Slave PLC's Fernhill Scada. Then, displaying local tags (Master PLC, "Fernhill SCADA Unit 1") and read/scanned tags from the Slave PLC, "Fernhill SCADA Unit 2". In the meantime, I am trying to use both of my Fernhill SCADA units interact with each other (one unit to read tags from the other unit) by using Internal Digital Tag on the Fernhill SCADAs.  Any help would be appreciated.

  20. Good Morning,   My name is Joseph Rhodes, I work as an electronic technician for the City of Tuscaloosa at the wastewater treatment plant. I work to keep the plant up and running as well as 64 lift stations spread out around Tuscaloosa, Alabama. A majority of our lift stations utilize Verizon Cell Modems, RV50s to be exact. It's rather easy connecting remotely to these lift stations as I can configure a driver as an ethernet / ip driver then associate an IP of that lift station (ex. 10.181.3.104 is lift station 104, 10.181.3.105 is lift station 105, etc). However, for the lift stations that do not utilize cell modems. We use GE MDS 9710 and 9810 radios. It is these lift stations that I have yet to figure out a way to connect remotely to the LS RTU PLC. All of our lift stations use Allen Bradley MicroLogix 1200s or 1400s. These lift stations that use the MDS radios communicate information to water tanks then that information is sent back through other channels. I was wondering is there a way to associate these lift stations on RSLinx that use GE MDS radios ?   
  21. I hear a lot of people talking about the annoyance of price estimates (meaning they don't get a clear, transparent price from the beginning) and the costly engineering that seems to never end. Do you think that a step-by-step, clear process and course of action from A to Z would be beneficial for companies? And I'm not talking here about SCADA software, like Ignition. I'm talking about using Ignition to build and implement a fully working SCADA solution, customized to your company BUT you know exactly the price and the methods/processes that will be used (it's a replicable framework to get similar results for multiple companies - and the results would be a SCADA solution without the headaches of the unknown prices and engineering characteristics). Basically, a clear project-based approach rather than an hourly approach where things can get confusing.    Do you think the industrial space could use something like that?
  22. Hi friends, The scene is like this... I have some 200 energy meters whose readings are continuously logged at 15-min intervals into a logging table. The meter does not have any other value logged. Let's consider these readings as analog tags. However these tag values are continuously increasing to ever larger numbers. Thus we have a problem for display on trends. Customer now requires that the Citect shows usage trends for any meter for a specified period of the past. That is to say, the meter that he wishes to observe is selected - along with a period typically between 2 dates (perhaps also with a sampling period) - and the trend must appear. So in other words, given a single trend object, how do you make values appear for any selected tag on this trend. Perhaps this can be overcome by some genie/super-genie mechanism. My approach to this is...For the selected meter, I use SQL to query the 15 minute logged values (also taking into account the required sampling period) taking the reading on starting date as initial. All values thereafter are subtracted -within the SQL query- and the result of this query is kept in a 2 dimensional array(x for time, Y for value) or a new database table so that the trend displays values starting with zero. This much I can do with Cicode. After this, I need a method to display the values so obtained in a trend object. Essentially this is the same as feeding a trend object with a set of X & Y values that I have in the form of an array or in a database table. I shall greatly appreciate any help to meet the above objective. Thanks for looking in. With best wishes.
  23. Hello Everyone, I am working on reports in Vijeo Citect V7.40. I want to generate a report whenever I press the button. I am able to generate it according to date like making a Cicode file and adding the form, whenever I press the button form will open to give me the option to select the date. Similarly, I am trying to make a form for a time also. Can someone guide me on how to do this? STRING sdate,edate,Em,D,M,Y;              D = DateDay(TimeCurrent());          M = DateMonth(TimeCurrent());          Y = DateYear(TimeCurrent(),1);              sdate= "Start Date";         edate= "End Date";         INT hChannel_M;                  FormNew("Select Report date..",38,2,16);         FormInput(20,0,"DD-MM-YYYY Format",Em,20);                           D = DateDay(TimeCurrent());          M = DateMonth(TimeCurrent());          Y = DateYear(TimeCurrent(),1);                   FormComboBox(2 ,0, 15, 6, sDate, 1);         FormAddList(D + "-" + M + "-" + Y);                     FormButton(8 ,1 ,"Select",0, 1);         FormButton(16 ,1 ,"Cancel",0, 2);         FormRead(0);                  STRING START_DATE_TIME         D = DateDay(StrToDate(sdate));  //DateAdd Will convert only when the date is in System Date Format          M = DateMonth(StrToDate(sdate));          Y = DateYear(StrToDate(sdate),1);         START_DATE_TIME = Y + "-" + M + "-" + D;                       STRING END_DATE_TIME             D = DateDay(DateAdd(StrToDate(sdate),86400));  //DateAdd Will convert only when the date is in System Date Format          M = DateMonth(DateAdd(StrToDate(sdate),86400));          Y = DateYear(DateAdd(StrToDate(sdate),86400),1);                  END_DATE_TIME =  Y + "-" + M + "-" + D;                                  VbCallRun(VbCallOpen("GetRep", START_DATE_TIME, END_DATE_TIME)); This is my code for date selection.
  24. Scada/ Site management

    Hi,  I have basic experience with PLCs but have a degree in electrical engineering. I have landed a job which requires me to advance my plc knowledge. I am based within the UK and need some advice on how to go about a solution to a problem. The site I am doing this for needs a site managment system. The site is within food production, this would be monitoring of mostly trips and faults within a wide range of industrial equipment (Pumps, compressors, fridges). The site is mostly Mitsubishi and would like one centralised portal within the workshop to view all of the equipment availability. Thank you.
