  1. Hello All,I am having some difficulty lately with my HMI tags randomly ghosting their values in my HMI, a persistent Inactive Tag warning, and 3 of my 11 clients don't read client tags. I believe that they could be related, but maybe not. If what I have below is not sufficient please ask for more info so that you are able to help as best as possible. Thank you in advance for your help!Ghosting Values ProblemAt the endpoint of my HMI, the value will occasionally show an empty box for an object that has an association, or animation connected to an HMI tag. If I go into my Data Test Client and look at that tag it will show up as a bad quality (as expected with ghosted value). However, the direct tag address will show good quality with the expected value from the OPC UA server. Now to get the ghosting to go away and it to show the object as intended on HMI I have two solutions that work. 1. I can reference the direct tag address to that object, however, I am trying to use HMI tags for their ease of use in the long run. 2. In the Tag Browser I can change the Data Source to another OPC UA connector in the project. It fixes it. Furthermore, if I switch the data source back to the source that was ghosting, it will not ghost and the value in the data test client for the HMI tag is good quality and matches the direct tag as well. When I fix the tag, the tag itself works well and has not had an issue in the future, but other random tags around the HMI will slowly go bad, sometimes it can be 1 box or a handful on a display that ghost. I don't want to be manually having to check and change the addresses every day for the 5-10 tags that ghost.Inactive Tags ProblemI am also having an exorbitant amount of "inactive tag" warnings on my Diagnostic Viewer. I do not know what makes the tag active or inactive. The error itself is attached below (some specfic info redacted). This one shows 5 items, but that number can be in the hundreds for similar warnings. One thing I notice in the warning that pops out to me is the resource shortcut vs the adsipath. They reference different OPC UA connectors in the project. Why is there a crossover on those two things? Is there a way to make sure they stay active all the time?     Client Tags not Read ProblemI have set up some client tags to help with the visibility of the different navigation menus. I have it set up that I have 4 buttons that when pressed change a client tag to an integer of 0, 1, 2, or 3. Based on that number one of four navigation menus comes up to navigate the HMI. Prior to the client tags, I set it up as an HMI tag, however, the issue was that if one operator on one client changed their nav bar, it changed all clients' nav bars. Thus client tags were needed to locally change the nav bar on each of my clients. The problem is, of my 11 clients around the facility, 3 of them show the nav bars as ghosted values and when I look at the client tags in those three, they come up as null or not found. However, on the other 8 clients around the facility, their nav bars work well with the client tags. Why would some clients work, while others do not, is there a setting I am missing? I have ensured they have the same firewall rules on the domain, that the computers can communicate (via ping), they have a good connection to the FT directory server, and they are using the same user login. Yet they are still different.Notes and Recent Actions Taken on System1. Recently added a new OPC UA connector (still had inactive issues before that) 2. Have changed about 20 percent of facility tags to new OPC UA connector 3. Connectors have redundancy to the secondary HMI. 4. All computers have access to the FT Directory server 5. All factory PC's have the same configuration and login that is being used. 5. Computers have enough resources to handle the load.
  2. Hi all, I have a global customer that still uses FTV SE version 10 (I'm sure some may know who). I provide a customised solution using CompactLogix 5380 series PLC and an FTV SE application for part of their operations. Something that has been on my mind for a while is the ability of local tags or variables held only at the display client (thin client in this case). I have used HMI tags and also tags in the PLC, but my need for local client tags is that I hold the current display name and importantly, the area of the display page. Essentially I use a common display page to show one of two areas, they are identical in appearance, just different areas, and make good use tag substitution by passing a parameter file to the selected display page. While the methods above appear to work, I wonder what happens when two users at two different display clients operate the application, selecting different pages from my menu. With either HMI tags or PLC tags, they would simply get over written by the last write by the last user, hence why I would like to use tags local to the display client. I would like to avoid any use of HMI tags stored on the server if possible. Any advice is much appreciated.  
  3. Hi! A have a question about how can I send the current User data from the Panelview (HMI) to the PLC. Its an allen bradley PLC 1756 L71. In the Factory Talk view I tried to make a register and to move in it the current user, but unfortunatelly its not working. Is anybody here who can help me with this ? Thanks ahead. Br.
  4. Hello Guys! I have a problem what I can't really solve. In factory talk view (10.0) I wanna use a momentary push button. When I start the project, and I click on it nothing happening, the button activate only when I release it. Its like there is an OSF instruction inside.  I want the button activate until I push. May I use a wrong button ? Could you guy please help me with this? Thanks ahead.

  6. Hi, One of my employee just factory reset our main HMI Panel, we don't have the latest backup. Is there a way even paid to connect to the device (KTP1200 Basic) and restore the latest version? Maybe there is a few days where the data is still available on the device and we can take a pc and try to get it back?? Thanks
  7. Friends kindly help me I need to create ton and counter macro function in factorytalk view studio 
  8. Hello, Have this error come up constantly and can't be reset. Motor hasn't tried to drive at all. Second motor showing same problem. This is a new configuration on new machine. Other inverters configured without any problems. Anyone seen this before or any ideas what could be the issue.
  9. Ok so I recently got the Factory i/o software to practice plc programming more in depth.  I got it working easily enough with the siemens TIA software and I am now trying to get it to work with the Omron Sysmac Studio software.  I am not sure if it is possible or not.  I have access to the hardware but I was really hoping to use the simulation like I can in TIA.  Any insight would be appreciated on the subject.

  10. Connect PLC to Kepserver

    aashishplc posted a topic in Other PLCs

    I have Delta 12SA2 PLC it has RS232 port and I have connected it to kepserver (by Modbus serial) and then factory IO Now my problem is that when I connect my PLC to kepserver the RS232 port becomes busy with the kepserver and not available in the ISPSoft and therefore I could not demonstrate factory io and my logic in run mode in the isp soft together like you do in your videos. My PLC don't have ethernet port but is there an option in kepserver or any way by which i can use the same serial port of the PLC in isp soft run mode and kepserver+factory io together so that I can simultaneously show the logic running in isp soft and application working in factory io to my students. I googled a lot and found some softwares which make virtual serial ports for a given serial port but they don't work and soon hang Please help me I am in a great need of it. Thanks in advance.

    Hi everyone, My plc got a fault, then I power down the PLC => remove the battery => Turn on the PLC until fault led off => Power down the PLC once again => Mount the battery and turn on the PLC. After that, I cannot connect the PLC via either Ethernet or COM port. Please tell me how to factory reset the PLC.   Thanks in advance,
  15. Hi all, Does anybody have experienced problem with communication while connecting  32k and 16k plcs to same SCADA via factory talk linx?   Does anybody have got problem with communication while RSView32 and FTView were used simultaneously with same plcs in different pcs with different shortcut names?
  16.   Hi all, Iam currently working with a migration project from Rsview32 to FTView. I was able to convert the RSView32 SCADA to FTView successfully. Current scenario is like RSView32 (which was the existing pcs) SCADA is running in two stand alone PCs and Iam trying to line up the new Factory talk view SCADA in another system.Communication is taken from same ethernet switch to which all ethernet cables from 5PLCs in the field are terminated and from which RSView32 scada has taken itz communication. PLCs used there are 2 No.of  1747 L532E slc 5/03 OS302 Ser c Frn 10 & later and 3 Nos of 1747 L533E slc 5/03 OS302 aer c Frn 10 & later. communication taken via net eni (1761 NetEni) Ftview installed system is Windows 10 pro OS) Issue is while RSView32 scada is working properly, Factory talk view is not getting neither online tags nor able to play display for those linked with L533E processor.But everything is fine with L532E processor. I just tried with downloading L533E program to L532E processor and everything was getting. So am i missing something or what should i do to get proper communication with L533E processor.   plz help..Iam a beginner in this field.
  17. This is my first time to the forum and I am still very new to plc programming. I just had to move all of our software over to a new computer ( kind of new) it's running windows 7 pro. The same is as the computer before. Same computer name, same I'm, same file directory. However when I add tags in studio 5000 and reference them in the HMI, it says it is unresolved in route to the processor. It only does this for the new tags. I used the same shortcut and everything so I am at a complete loss here. What do I do.
  18.

  19. Please if anyone can help me, recently I installed a redundancy in my Factory View V8.20 server, but started to show some errors: My alarm banner and event simply disappeared and now I can not read tag from my opc server (KeepServer Modbus), I see this tag in the studio, but at runtime they do not communicate. * Patches are up date. Tks! Vitor
  20. I have entered the messages many times into the Alarm Setup but every time i re-open the alarm setup, every message that has the Trigger Value=1 will be deleted.  Anyone have a similar issue?

  22. Expressions

    mr_electrician posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation

    Hi forum members!   I am spinning the wheels on trying to get my expression to validate.  I am new to expressions so after trying for a bit I have thrown in the towel and am looking to the experts here to help me out. As you can see with attachment I am trying to change the color of the valve top hat.  I am needing 3 colors: Gray when closed, Green when open and in Auto, and Yellow when open and in Manual. I was asked to not change the PLC logic as this could be done from the SCADA level.. After looking at my application and attempt do you have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?    My Expression:  If {::[Process]Program:Boilers_Main.LV_36101_New} < 3  Then 0  Else  If {::[Process]Program:Boilers_Main.LV_36101_New} >= 3  AND {[Process]LIC_36101A_PIDE.Auto}  Then 1  Else  Then  If {[Process]LIC_36101A_PIDE.manual}  Then 2

  24. How can I do a hardware 'factory reset' on a Q UDE CPU .... NOT using any software such as GX Developer or Works? I understand in the 'Write to PLC' menu it's possbile to Clear / Format / Arrange PLC memory - this isn't what I'm asking for. Under normal circumstances we routinely reload the PLC code / parameters / intelligent function data all remotely from our offices to our customers facilities and all works well. With the newer Q UDE CPUs it is possible to scan the network and effectively do a remote bare-metal recover to a new CPU. If the Q UDE CPU became unresponsive I would like to know how to reset the CPU back to factory defaults. In this scenario we would be asking local site electricians to carry out this reset procedure - after which we would reload the code remotely from the office. Documentation says power down CPU remove BAT for > 10 mins. I’ve powered down, left in STOP state and removed BAT for 16hours - then tested this morning – IP / program perfect and online immediately without battery connected. This retention is a wonderful feature – but if I want to deliberately do a hardware factory reset how do I do it ?
