Re: Remote OPC connection problem (for TxA panels)

Your server could be rejecting the OPC connection. Getting the tag database and transferring data are two different things and could have different security settings on your server. I would check you OPC server to make sure that it allows anonymous access. If you are using OPC classic, then you need...

Re: GE controllers Tag (variable) problems

The GE Fanuc SNPX driver supports the %G variable, but the GE TCP/IP via SRTP does not. There is nothing that can be done about this.

Re: System pop-up object need "Actions"

There is no way to change anything about that icon. You cannot assign actions to it or change its color. You can only turn it on or off.

Re: Problems with text overlay

There is no way to change this. Text Boxes and all iX Dev controls have their own actions associated with them. They will "block" the lower onscreen control from receiving the mouse click. It sounds like in your case you do not want that to happen. You can dynamically change the Text on a button so ...

Re: I can’t write decimals in Analognumrerik.

Decimal means you want to show a float. Integer in the analog numeric box means you want to show an int or uint. You either need to change the datatype of your tag to float, or you need to change the display type of your analog numeric box to Integer.

Re: how to retrieve Version, Physical RAM and available stor

Those tags and similar ones reference the RAM and storage available on the HMI. They are the only way you can get information about the HMI. There are no other options. You might have simply selected the wrong System tag. You should take a look at some of the other System Tags to see if they give yo...

Re: Error buffer querry for QTERM-A7

No, there are no error buffers on the unit. There are system tags that will tell you about any controller errors. Otherwise the HMI should never error. There is an alarm server that you can use to notify the operator when a tag's value goes out of a range that you specify, that is simply there to he...

Re: Using Controllers not in the iX Library

iX Developer has a Modbus TCP driver. As long as your unit meets the Modbus standard then it would work. You can programmatically control the serial and Ethernet ports using C# in an iX panel. However, you need to write all the C# code yourself to handles incoming/outgoing packets. Such code cannot ...
