Re: Chinese string from the controller

Suppose that I get an Unicode UTF-8 string from the controller, in form of a sequence of two-bytes characters, and I declare a STRING[20] variable in iX: I should be able to fill in the string with 10 Unicode characters. Such string won't be visible if assigned to an ASCII text label, but it should ...

Chinese string from the controller

Hello, we need to get a text string that is stored inside the controller, and the customer requires the support of Chinese characters.
Any way to do that?
We are targeting to PC and the controller is accessed through Modbus/TCP.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Federico.

Re: Fading color in glossy buttons

Hello Mark, thank you for your reply. I was wondering if the whitish hue is Windows-dependent, and can be changed by code. If I take a look at the Apple's glossy buttons, they seem to fade differently, see below: Image2.jpg The Apple button allows using white characters all over the surface, as ther...

Fading color in glossy buttons

Hello, when using the "glossy" style for pushbuttons, the background will fade from the chosen background color to white. If a dark color is chosen as a background, and a light color for text, the multi-line text is hard to read (see the file attached). Is there any way to change the fading color to...

Re: Modbus/TCP driver 5.11 error with iX RT 1.31

We noticed that the version of the driver actually used by the application is stored inside the "output" directory. Yet this driver is not used by the RT, which keeps on using the version stored inside the "Beijer shared" directory instead. We copied the driver file from the "output" directory to th...

Modbus/TCP driver 5.11 error with iX RT 1.31

Hello, we found that when running a project compiled with the Modbus/TCP driver version 5.11 on a target PC with iX runtime 1.31 (that has the driver 5.07 as the default driver), it doesn't work (error connecting with driver, then comm err on all stations). Is this a known issue? Is there any way to...

Modbus/TCP driver compatibility issue

Hello all, we have found a problem that can be reproduced this way: - create a project with iX 1.31, using the Modbus/TCP default driver (5.07.01). The default node number will be set to 0, even if new stations are added. Everything will be working fine. - install iX 2.0 for evaluation, while keep u...

Video ports on TxC panels

Hello, the TxC panels brochure shows two video connectors on the back of the unit, one DVI and one VGA.
Do they output the video signal to an external monitor, or do they get an external video signal and show in the built-in display? In other words, are they inputs or outputs?
Thanks,
Federico.

Re: Digit placeholders

Mark, the Courier New font is the only Windows font with non-proportional spacing. It looks awful in any application where the graphics aspect is worth zero more than nothing. If you take a look at the attached file you'll see that the # character is not a good choice as a placeholder, neither for d...
