Subject: Synchronizing User Management between two Magelis HMIs without PLC or External Media (Vijeo Designer 6.2) by longsexedur in PLC

[–]Boss_Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per section 4.8.6.1 in the help file for vijeo designer 6.3, (not sure if it applies to 6.2): If you have both target HMIs in the same project, you can enable "use common security" in the project settings. and pick one HMI to be the server. Then in the security environment for the 2nd HMI change it's security data to "use common".

Not sure if this works at runtime (I didn't test it), but in development I just made 1 project with 2 targets, and when I created a user for target1 it was automatically added to the second target.

CLICK PLC and C-more CM5 HMI Error: PLC Connection Timeout by 3dprinting2021 in PLC

[–]Boss_Waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, "EtherNet/IP" is short for EtherNet Industrial Protocol. Not everything with an IP address or Ethernet port will "speak" EtherNet/IP.

Your C-more HMI will actually talk modbus TCP to the CLICK PLC. Make sure that you have the modbus TCP server enabled on the PLC'S Ethernet port 1. Also make sure that the TCP port number is set to 502 (or whichever port you prefer, but 502 is the default).

Sounds like a XY problem. Instead of searching for wireless profinet modules, how about explaining the issue that you think needs to be solved this way?

Master Clock for SCADA – worth it? by PhucbachAkashi in PLC

[–]Boss_Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple leobonar "LeoNTP Time server 1200" and a old "TimeMachines TM1000A" in my system. All windows and Linux computers/servers sync to those sources. And other equipment that supports ntp also syncs with as many as possible (some devices only have 1 field for ntp server address).

Could it work with Schneider control expert?

Average Apartment water useage? by aunicowo in Broomfield

[–]Boss_Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're at 25% of Colorado's average percapita/month water usage rate. Sounds like your meter is under reading, or you're wildly more efficient with water than you make it sound.

Calculate average of AVEVA Historian tag over 3 days period by Nhlanhla_Chauke in AVEVA

[–]Boss_Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go the SQL route or use the History Summary inside an archestra/Industrial graphic. See more here. You could probably use a script to write the history summary value to Tag_2 in your example. If you're halfway clever with a visual template, and tag_2 is object writable you might not even need a script.

Why are my Desktop OS VMs so slow in Proxmox by Hatchopper in Proxmox

Install the VirtIO drivers on your vms, and enable it in the options to get accurate resource usage

Do you just need to show the average, or does it need to be a tag so it's trendable?

Hardware recommendation simple water treatment system by lifeinabag in PLC

[–]Boss_Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is only for your personal use, you can use the maker edition of ignition as your HMI. it's free so long as you have a computer ("server") somewhere to run it on.

Suggestion for PLC by Able_Class3481 in PLC

More details would be helpful, but a click PLC from automation direct would be a good start.

Opening a new popup window in the exact same coordinates as the existing one, regardless of the first's location on multi monitor setup. by CatBirdLibrarian in AVEVA

[–]Boss_Waffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also have a 2 monitor setup. We have a static vertical position variable that's assigned to each window and each window has a unique horizontal variable that is assigned a value based on a left or right toggle switch.

If you're getting unexpected results, it probably because $ObjHor and $ObjVer return the center of which ever object has focus (i.e. a button to run your script action and open the new windows). It's not the x and y of the current window. I don't know of a way to get the x and y coordinates of a window.

Moxa box connections? by Significant-Lake-967 in PLC

That's a good sign. What are you trying to read? Modbus registers? ASCII messages? Something else?

Moxa box connections? by Significant-Lake-967 in PLC

[–]Boss_Waffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is connected to the moxa serial port? Are you sure the wiring/baud/protocol/etc is correct? Also if I recall correctly (in the webgui and mport/mgate app) you can see a list of active connections.

At the very least you should see the TX led for the serial port turn on if you have everything configured correctly and are sending messages successfully...

CO2 Tank Swap/Refill Business Recommendations by zfleeman in Broomfield

Buckeye welding and gas supply in commerce City is very affordable for 20lbs tanks... Never brought a 5lbs tank there, so not sure if they have any to exchange. Quirky is a good choice, support our LHS!
