ilovebeijer, First you will want to choose the Schneider Modbus Driver: http://beijerinc.com/support/ix/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=1003&sid=0bae5cd75d0bc7f3560510a60f3ee8db Next, you will want to open its settings: http://beijerinc.com/support/ix/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=1004&s...

aivar,

One way to do this would be to create a script that constantly parses the latest alarm text into a new tag. This way you can just reference that tag from the web server.

mei_india,

This error usually occurs when the excel spreadsheet is open in another program. If the excel program is still open with this sheet then it will fail in this way. Or any other program open for editing can cause this as well.

Joe,

This is possible, albeit pretty cumbersome. The big hurdle is that the controller and i believe the recipes are instantiated which means that it would require a reset of the HMI for the changes to take affect.

iva,

The best method that comes to mind is a heartbeat. This way you are sure of your telegrams being sent properly and that the desired device is talking back to you.

Hi timun,

This should not be too difficult, you will first want to set the "Holding/Input registers per message (write)" to your desired string length. Enable the "Force function code 0x10" parameter. And then just write to your string. It should copy your string as far as it is populated.

Hi ilovebeijer,

You probably want to be using the COMLI Master Driver to communicate with that line of ABB product. It can be found under "Controllers-ABB-COMLI".

charliehbeijer,

This likely due to using some object or function that needs access to the file system (e.g. datalogger, recipe, export, etc.) this happens because the simulator does not create the whole file system of the panel.

John,

So long as your custom data logging application can communicate using OPC you will be just fine and this will work as you wish. Our OPC server conforms to industry standards so there should be very little to worry about here.

Hi Schmiedi,

This can be done under the System settings in iX developer. Check the "Use SNTP time synchronization" box and point it to your desired server.
