  1. Hi All, I not sure how can sum up all the rows value in the grid to a tag.
  2. Hello,  I'm new to System Platform and am looking for some advice, or some help solving a problem with one of the show / hide dynamic controls.  I'm just struggling due to a lack of experience with this system's architecture and I'm hoping that if I provide snips showing the configs of everything, and the scripts, that someone can provide some insight or advice for how to restore the functionality.  Which brings me to the problem statement.  This is a navigation bar that has been a part of this set of screens and has worked in the past.  The navigation bar is controlled dynamically and had three different sets of buttons used for quick navigation to screens that are most important.  The three bars are shown / hid depending on what the current screen is.  The whole System Platform was upgraded from version 2014 to version 2020 over the Thanksgiving holiday shutdown.  Since then, the navigation bar hasn't been working.  It appears that it's always hid now.  Please take a look the snips I've attached to demonstrate the navigation bar, what it looks like, how its objects are configured, and how the graphic symbols are set and controlled (animations, custom properties).  Also, see the snips related to the dynamic control script and associated tags / objects.  I'd appreciate any advice or help.  (I'm open to text messaging or phone calls too). Thanks,  John Whited +1(740) 260-4569 john_whited@colpal.com
  3. Greetings! I have several Access Names defined, which have Primary and Secondary data sources configured, and Failover is enabled.  We are using the built-in failover logic to determine when failover should occur (we are not manually forcing failover). I would like to show some sort of indicator to the user when the Secondary source is being used.  I am aware of the $Sys$Status tag which is true if the data source is connected and false if it is disconnected.  However, this tag doesn't tell us which source is being used (primary or secondary). Is there another $Sys tag or other tag that would tell us this info?   Thank you for any pointers!
  4. Dear Forum, I am working on a set of "drivers" for some VFDs and wondering about you guys experience with it. The system layout is as following: FX5UC RS-485: MODBUS-RTU RS-485, lets say with 1x Mitsubishi F840, could be other drives (one drive per FX5UC) Ethernetport: Connected to GT2510, using Freqrol driver Another setup is for some other reasons not possible. I want to have one PLC program for different connected VFDs, scheduled VFDs at the moment are: Mitsubishi F-840, ABB ACS880, Toshiba L.V. VFD, Toshiba T-300MVi.   What I want to do: Read & Write status information - done. Read monitoring values - done. I want to setup some VFD parameters via the HMI. Send the parameter to the PLC and from the PLC to the VFD. The parameters are "basic VFD parameters", every VFD should have, such as: Torque boost, accel/decel time, min/max frequency, base voltage/frequency, etc. Of course these parameters are not simple Pr.0 to Pr. 125 but spread all over the place. I want to check for min. and max. limits inside the PLC before transmitting the data to the VFD. Knowing "basic parameters" will turn out quickly to "VFD specific parameters", I want to be prepared on the programming side. The APSRW for read/write parameters are called through the program and hand shakes with other APSRW calls.   What would be a good approach do to the above?  I rather invest more time into the PLC programming rather complicated HMI-Handling. Reading simple 125 words and the next 125 words, then writing 125word and again the next 125 words? Reading / writing individual parameters? Reading / writing 125 parameters at once? Any other approach for implementation?   Best regards, MarkusR  
  5. Hi, How can I communicate Codesys and Intouch. Can you help me.
  6. View File Crimson 3.0 Simple String Validation Pattern Matcher I developed this for work and thought I would share. It can be used for input validation and we needed it to enable validation of scanner gun input through the USB port. I also use it for serial input validation. Usage is: pattern.isMatch(input string, input pattern) which will return 1 if match, 0 if not a match I have also included toUpperCase and toLowerCase functions for strings. To use in your project, simply copy the pattern program folder to your project. This can be auto-migrated to crimson 3.1. Pattern string syntax is described in the comments or by clicking the guide button. Worth using this testbed to debug your pattern strings before using in a production environment. The controls and bits on the right side of the test page allow you to tab through your pattern and the string and see what matches each char. You can see a mockup of a real world batch-entry view on the "Demo" page and edit the input fields to try to defeat the validation. If you end up using it, toss a thanks my way if you can. If you find any bugs, please let me know. Built with Crimson 3.0 v707.000, tested in built-in emulator and used on Graphite G07s with both Crimson 3.0 and 3.1 runtimes.

  7. Archestra IDE mimic page Editing

    Fircombehall posted a topic in Other PLCs

    Hi, I appreciate this is forum is more PLC based but if anyone could assist me with a SCADA issue. Namely Archestra IDE it would be appreciated.    Problem: I need to delete two pumps off of a mimic that is being governed by Archestra IDE. The galaxy is being hosted from a server PC.    My question is… If i make a Edit to the runtime program do i need to reboot the program on the server PC or does it automatically update? Same question with the slave HMI’s. Do i need to go around rebooting them after the change or do they update like an online edit? Also do i need to make any changes to the application server or historian that is running on the PC? Thanks in advance. 

  8. serial input string

    paulcoverley@sky.com posted a topic in Mitsubishi

    Hi  I'm quite new to plc but very new to mitsubishi.   I have an input string eg G+002.7 which represents a weight. I wish to take in the input string then move/convert to int omitting first char,   On other plc's i have been able to use a modifier like d200[2] then the no of chars. How do i achieve this in gx works3   Any feedback gratefully recieved   Paul  
  9. Hello, I have a vision system that is logging images via FTP to a computer running a published InTouch application (Wonderware 2014). I would like to add a feature to the application to display the last captured image to aid in debugging the vision system. I suspect I would need to write a script that periodically checks a folder for images and retrieves the most recent image. Can InTouch be extended to display an image based on a file system address?  Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Cam

  11. Hi, I need help finding the length of a string.  I am using an In-sight 9000 series camera with a compact logix 5380 and communicating over ethernet. Unfortunately, the string length is not provided in the AOP, and the barcode length will constantly change. I told to use the FSC instruction, but I cannot get it to work. Thanks

  13. Sorry new to working with PLC's,  I am trying to write text to a ST file on an RSLOGIX 500 machine, its for a LED display, I am just trying to update the screen to new texts, it all works I am just having trouble inputting the text properly into the string file. I would like to read about it if anyone can point me to a good document or manual that can explain what characters to use?  I see many posts about using VBA using Excel work on RSLOGIX 500? But would like to know how to do it manually first.  Thank you
  14. Hi all, I am a new user of VB.net on NA Omron HMI, and I need your help to solve a problem. In my case, I have to get a HMI global variable value in VB.net, but the VariableName is in an other variable (string). For example: Var1=4 Var2=6 VarName="Var1" I worked with a "SetVariable" function to modify the value of different variables, but right now I need to read the actual value, in the example values 4 and 6.  Do you have any suggestion?

  15. StartApp Intouch Wonderware

    lepass7 posted a topic in HMI & SCADA

    Dears,  I would appreciate your help on the below matter.  I am trying to send email using intouch scada.  I am using the following command: StartApp "powershell.exe " + par0 + par1 + par2 + par3 + par4 + par5 + par6 + par7 + par8 + par9; par0 --> is the powershell script path par1 --> is the email par2 to par9 are some parameters i would like to send. I checked the power shell script and its working just fine, but when i run the script through intouch it seems that executes a part of the string.  For example: par0 = "PATH_ON_MY_PC/powershell.ps"; par1 = "test@test.com" par2 = " -par1 12"; par3 = " -par2 10"; par4 = " -par3 test"; ... par9 = " -par9 9";   I am only getting first parameter and if i change to this: StartApp "powershell.exe " + par0 + par1 + par3 + par2 + par4 + par5 + par6 + par7 + par8 + par9; I will only get third parameter.  How can I overcome this limitation?

  16. WonderWare Help

    GarrettWrightsmanAIS posted a topic in HMI & SCADA

    Hi all, looking for some help. Have been using WonderWare since version 7.1. We currently use WonderWare 2020, but some of our products still require 2014 R2. Here lately, I have had trouble installing WonderWare 2014 R2 on Windows 10, specifically the SQL 2014 install. I have attached an image of the error message. I have tried multiple different methods to resolve the issue including pre-installing different versions of SQL Server. Thanks all!
  17. Have been able to exchange data types of BOOL, INT,  DINT & REAL between Omron NJ/NX CPU with Allen Bradley Logix CPU's with Ethernet/IP using the CIPUCMMRead & CIPUCMMWrite instructions. I now have a need to exchange "STRING" variable types. Have tried varions string lengths in the NJ without sucsess. AB default string length is 82 & Omron 256 but I think the difference is the length headder that AB has with within their String Tag type. I know I could convert my strings to an array of bytes & sent them this way, but was looking for a solution to sent them as native strings. Hope someone out there has done this & can share their leg work? 
  18. I have an analog output card 1734-OE2V and there is in the fault/actions page parameters for program mode. What is program mode and when it is activated? Fault mode is clear but... Program should be written the value, but when this happens?
  19. Hi, I may need your help. What particular Wonderware Intouch driver needed to hook with Omron CP1L-EM ? Thanks for your help. Regards, Jay :)
  20. I do have a problem with Stratix 5700 managed switch. I have a system with 3 Stratix 5700 switches with their own systems. If I switch off the power one of the cabinet (including the Stratix) and put the power on again, after that switches are bloking all the trafic in the system for a few seconds. So, linking the system on will make switch to go fault. This can not be correct. What are the minimum settings that is needed to do for the switches, not to go fault during switching power on. I have made now smartport settings for the switches 'switch for automation' => no progress. Still same.
  21. I have a function that reads ASCII code from a transducer, converts the code into characters and places the characters from the serial buffer into a string. Now, I am trying to convert the value in the string into a 64-bit float number. Any ideas on how to do that on the CCW? 
  22. HiWe have a project that is based on an AB 1769-L33ER and I need to connect this to our InTouch 2014 Scada system.We have installed the latest ABCIP IO Server and are ready to connect.Can you directly address the PLC I/O like you would on a Mitsubishi or GEFanuc plc, or does everything you want to read need to be created into a Tag that is then read via InTouch.It is a long time since I’ve connected to an AB PLC and that would have been an old SLC 5, so I’m sure things have changed.I have had the PLC tags dumped, but these don’t look like I would have expected them to.Any help appreciated.
  23. Hi, I've got a very old version of Wonderware, version 9.5, which isn't going to be upgraded anytime soon. I would like to configure a button to perform 2 tasks under "Touch Pushbuttons", ideally "Action" and "Show Window". I am unable to enable both at the same time, so I've been trying to write a script that would perform both functions, but so far unsuccessfully. Is this something that can be done, or is there another way to get around this problem? I would like the button to toggle a bit and to open another window with more controls.   thanks

  24. InTouch Comms

    Sabih posted a topic in HMI & SCADA

    Hi Everyone, I've just installed InTouch V10 and am trying to develop communication with Emulate5000, for educational purposes. I looked over the internet and found some videos on how to develop communications by setting up the topic name and node name in DA Server manager, but the issue I'm facing is that my SMC only shows logViewer and nothing else (snapshot attached). Am I missing some vital component or dirver? Or is there some problem with my installation? Help would be much appreciated.   P.S: Window Maker and Viewer are working fine. Thanks, Sabih
  25. Hi, As part of developing an EtherNet/IP driver for the CLX family, I have the task of recognising tags that would ordinarily be represented as strings. With SLC/ML, that wasn't too difficult since strings were a pre-defined type found in files with a file type of 0x8d. With CLX, I understand that the situation is quite different, since a string now becomes just another structured tag like so many others. So, for instance, in my controller, and with the help of information gleaned from the LogixTagRead program, I can see that a request sent for one particular tag (which I happen to know is a string) returns me the following information: Tag type: A0 02, followed by, Structure handle: CE 0F, followed by, Length (DINT): 1A 00 00 00, followed by, Data (Series of SINT): 41 42 43 and so on through to 58 59 5A Now in one sense I am fairly clear how to interpret most of the above data -- but in another sense, I don't believe (unless I'm missing something) that it can ever tell me that this tag should be INTERPRETED as a string. What do I mean by that ? Well, the tag type of A0 02 simply says that this tag is a structure (because the top bit is set). Even if we were to unset the top bit, the value becomes 20 02 and I'm not sure if that has significance in itself. I'm not sure if the structure handle (aka template id) of CE 0F tells me anything other than the fact that this is a symbol type of CE 8F. I know that this field can be looked up and will tell me that this structure comprises a C4 (DINT) followed by data comprising a series of C2 (SINTs) where the number of SINTs is given by the value of the DINT preceding. And, of course, this makes sense in that the DINT value of 1A 00 00 00 is decimal 26, followed by 41 42 43 ... 58 59 5A which is a 26-character string ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. This is all correct. So whilst this LOOKS like a string, how can my code be sure that it is actually to be INTERPRETED as a string ? At the end of the day, it is only a DINT followed by a series of SINT; this doesn't of itself mean it is a string. Is there anything in the tag type or structure handle which actually identifies this as a string-type tag ? Thanks.
