  1. OS SECURITY ISSUE

    HELP! I have been tasked with setting the security levels on this GOT 1000 HMI on GT Designer 3, i have come into a problem and this error message keeps appearing: "Delete OS from GOT since authentication does not work if OS for Operator Authentication is installed". I have recently with success set the password levels on a new HMI GOT 2000 and was able to create a log in and log out switch within the program so i understand the procedure.  Please see the picture below and i will appreciate any information.     Matt R 
  2. Hi,     My company is asking me to lock out our "manual" mode push button and I have followed all the steps to do so by setting up a group and users. I set up the runtime security, and then set up the display with the proper security code needed and when I press the login push button the login prompt does not display. Our HMI's are all ran through "Test Display" on our VM so we have each station window up separately on the monitor and I am wondering if this is why the prompt doesn't appear? I can't find any answer as to why it wouldn't appear, just my own speculation. First time posting here, so sorry if I'm lacking any more useful information. Thank you in advance
  3. Hi there, I am adding a user login screen to one of our machines. I've already added the user and it shows current user on my string. I want to make the user log in before accessing the rest of the system or continues with normal start up. How do I set this condition?
  4. EasyBuilder Pro question

    Hi! I am using cMT-SVR-100, and i need to get the UserName to my PLC. I have difficulty getting the UserName-Register: PLW-10754 from the PLC (OMRON NX1P2). In the documentation is written register LW-10754 should do the same thing like PLW-10754, but it doesn’t. The approach i found on internet is to use a macros, but PLW-10754 doesn’t support macros. Please help. Any help will be appreciated.   Thank You in advance
  5. Hello, I'm a little experienced, a little new with (I hope) a fairly beginner question. I've got a customer that has a pre-existing HMI running a Factorytalk View SE - Network program.  The customer would like to make some changes to the HMI, and I feel pretty confident that I could do this; the only problem is I'm having difficulty connecting to their system and downloading a version of the program that I can edit. Almost every How to video and instructional PDF that I can find appears to start from the premise that I created the program and have an existing copy on my computer or am starting from scratch, but that is not the case.  I know the IP address of the Networked PC that is running the HMI and can ping it etc, but I do not know how to connect to it.  I even have a copy of almost all of the files that the PC is running from the customer, but do not have a file that I can open in FTView to edit or change then download; I think I'm missing the .cli file or somesuch? Do I have to be directly logged on to the PC or can I be on my programming laptop and connect via Ethernet->switch->PC (I think I need FactoryTalk Linx for that, which I have a licensed copy of)?  I know that Machine Edition requires a .mer file to be able to open and edit an HMI program, is the network edition the same? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  6. Hi all First tanks for your time. I have been working with a L32 processor and Factorytalk data bridge to move data between PLC and an OPC Server. The brigde is basically the software from rockwell to conect tags.  I got refresh issues, any have experience with it? I am able to conect to OPC servers in Factorytalk Console, then use FT bridge to link tags in between... even works but time to time it fail to refresh tags.... then data loos happen. bridge dont show good performance.  I uses Topserver as secondary and it works flawlessly.   Regards Jesus
  7. Hello, has anyone had success in creating a wedge with borders that change due to its assigned tags? Attempting to create a range on a gauge using wedge, but am unsure how to approach this considering it wouldn't be rotating the wedge around a point but rather changing the size of the wedge. 
  8. Hello! First time poster!I am trying to access a PDF file on the removeable SD on the back of the panelview (Storage Card2) and get an error using ActiveX Controls;"There was an error opening this document. Sharing Violation!"The HMI is a  2711P-RDT15C I have called Rockwell support, as well as used various articles from the RA DB and still nothing. Things I have tried: - Reading from various storage cards and USB devices - Reading from my documents - Various syntaxes:       "\Storage Card2\M1.pdf"       "Storage Card2\M1.pdf"       "Storage Card2/M1.pdf"       Many others as well w changes in slashes, spaces, etc - Power cycling between failed reads FoxItReader CAN open. The file CAN also be selected and opened by browsing the OS on the PV - both on the storage card and when moved into my documents. The current parameters for the ActiveX program launcher are: Program location: "foxitreader.exe" Program Parameters: "Storage Card2\M1.pdf" If anybody has any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
  9. Hi there! This is my first time using Rockwell automation software and I have some questions I can't answer. When I'm running the FactoryTalk runtime application with a simulated controller, I get disconnected from Logix Designer, so I can't online watch the program. If I try to simulate using 'Test Application' in FactoryTalk View Studio, it appears to communicate, but buttons don't make any effect when pressed.   Hope you can throw some light on it! Thanks in advance!  
  10. I have 2 vm’s, 1 with FactoryTalk and 1 with Studio 5000 and Studio 5000 emulate and I need the Factorytalk to communicate with the emulated plc on another vm and wondered if this is possible.
  11. Is there a work around for using ActiveX controls when the FactoryTalk View ME edition does not match the Panelview firmware revision? I have FactoryTalk version 13 and the Panelview is 10 (Panelview Plus 7 Perf 1500). Trying to use the Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control.  Thanks
  12. Unable to delete a screen

    Hello AB professionals, I am using FactoryTalk View Studio v11. I am basing on an old project to build my application. I restored the project from a .mer file. I deleted or renamed some old screens, saved and closed the project. But when I open the project next time the screens I deleted still show up. When I click on it it will show an error message "Component does not exist".  In the FactoryTalk ME application, I right click a screen name on the left tree under the Graphics, and then click "Delete" or "Remove", the display would disappear at that time. But it persists on coming back next time I open the project. If you know the solution to resolve please reply. It is much appreciated.   Thank you. Lei
  13. I've got a client with a Modicon Unity Controller CPU 311_10 with a NOE 771_01 Ethernet card that appears to have security enabled that keeps us from looking at the code. We only tried accessing the CPU web page from a browser and it came up with a Login we couldn't get past. We didn't have Unity Pro software with us at the time but assume we will still encounter the same security login. The person who was responsible for this system is no longer alive, his company is gone, and there is no backup. Does anyone have any idea how to get into this PLC? Thanks in advance for your help.

  14. Hey guys,   I am looking to query a database through FactoryTalk SE.  I will be scanning packages, and using that bar code to find a lane assignment from the database.     My question has to do with where the VB script will reside in the FactoryTalke SE program.  I want this script to run at all times.  I see that each screen has a "VBA Code" but I am assuming that these will only run when the screen is visible.   Where does this have to be stored in order to run all the time?   Thanks In Advance!
  15. Apache Log4J

    IT will be making more and more news that the Apache Logging Unit - LogShell ot Log4J2 has a major remote access vulnerability.  This is a widely used subsystem and so I am posting what I've been able to garner about affected automation products here and hope others post factual not anecdotal evidence here as well.

  16. Hi all, I have an application where two buttons are created: End Batch: "Momentary Push Button" that modifies the value of a tag. Print Report: "Display Print Button" that generates PDF with a screenshot of the current screen. I would like to mix both buttons into one single button that does this functionality at once. I have been reviewing forums and it seems that the only way to do that would be by using VBA code but I believe that this is not available on FactoryTalk View ME but only on SE. Would anyone know a way of printing a PDF screenshot + modifying a tag at the same time and with a single button on FactoryTalk View ME? Thank you!
  17. I had FactoryTalk ME and SE Studio V12 on my Windows 10 machine. A few days ago I needed to use to V10 for some alarm functions and because FT will not let you have multiple versions on one laptop, I had to downgrade to V10. Everything had been working fine until the uninstall of V12 and the install of V10. Whether in ME or SE, and even in a newly created project, opening any display crashes Studio. I have attempted two clean installs and can't seem to get it fixed. It feels more like a Windows OS issue but we're a bit stumped. Anyone else run into this?
  18. Dear Experts, We are facing one issue to get a ASCII serial pump data into FactoryTalk SCADA tags. Though, we get to communicate with Pump with VBA form and able to control the pump and get its flow status, can set the flow as well. Now our requirement is to fetch the pump flow and set the flow from FactoryTalk SCADA screen (using tags) How to get the data received in VB script into tag??? Any sample code for the same will be more helpful. Thanks in advance.
  19. I have a global sidebar that has all of my page navigation buttons.  Is there a way to hide a certain button based on the current page that is displayed (i.e. "Manual" button is invisible when the Manual screen is displayed)?  I know how to make a button visible/invisible based on a tag or expression, but I don't know how to do it based on the current page.
  20. Hello, On our DCS we have a button that will open an RDP connection to our PLC server and open the .mer file connecting the DCS to the PanelView HMI. This is supposed to be used for troubleshooting purposes only, but that is not the case. Is there a way to prevent operators from operating the HMI through the RDP while still allowing them to have read only access?   Thanks, Michael
  21. Hello, denizens of Mr.PLC. I'm trying to talk to an old TSX17-20, and have acquired the DOS files for PL7 22. However, when installing via floppy drive, I'm getting a fatal error saying that the User Interface is missing. FATAL ERROR: 251 Your Telemecanique system in incomplete. Ensure that User Interface is correctly installed.   I'm aware that PL722 (and PL7-1/2/3, etc.) require Telemecanique's DOS User Interface to run, but I can't for the life of me find installation files, and, as it is no longer supported by Schneider, no luck getting it from their site. Apparently, it used to be hosted there. Would any of you wonderful folk have the links or files to this user interface? Apparently, PL7 22 5.0/5.1 have never required/no longer require a license. It was a drag to find these files, so I'm posting the PL722 files (in two zips, representing the two floppies) so that there's an easy to find reference for them. PL722D1.ZIP PL722D2.ZIP

  23. Hi guys, I am trying to open an application and i keep getting this error. Failed to initialize the service: {3F883B87-2208-11D4-B0E7-001083022E04} Does anyone know how to get rid of this error? Regards,
  24. 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?
  25. I have a display I use to show overviews on several big tvs in our plant.  Up to now I have used a single display and change which display is visible based on tag that increments based on a timer.  This has worked great but as my system grows I keep adding additional "blocks".  I have now ran into the issue that you can only have 3000 tags on one display.  While i only display one block at a time all of them load so that pushes me over the limit.  I am guessing I need a vba script to accomplish this .  If someone has done this I would love to see some VBA examples of what you did.  Or other ideas...
