Re: Debug Tools

Debug tools will open you project in Visual Studio (if its installed) then you can run your project and use its various features for debugging like Breakpoints.

Re: What would be the OPC UA namespace to connect to Bedrock

You can specify an OPC UA server in iX Developer when creating a project or by going to Tags -> Controllers -> and Selecting OPC UA:

Re: Popup Screen Open Status

You could use global variables in scripting to keep track, but that is essentially a tag, and tags might be easier.
But there isn't a method that you can access for that information like

Code: Select all

if(PopupScreen1.IsCurrentlyOpen())
{
     //Do something
}

Re: How to detect user is inactive

If you're requiring users to login, there is a setting to do this in the Security -> Settings -> General user-inactivity.png This will not switch screens, but if you add the SystemSecond and SystemCurrentLoggedinUser tags you can do a check every second that says if the user == "" (logged out) then ...

Re: Is there any way to save a tag value?

Hi gaboho,

You should be able to assign your value to another tag and check the Others box on your tag list and the check the Non-Volatile option. This will store the value to the non-volatile memory on the panel and the value there will be restored from there on power loss.

Re: Scaling and simulator

Not sure how to simulate tags in offline mode like you're asking, but an answer to your first question is: using 2 tags pointed to the same address and one with scaling and one without is probably the best way. Another way would be to keep a persistent variable in your code to reverse the scaling on...

Re: Value Change and Core.Api.DataSource.ValueChangedEventAr

You may have to use 2 different tags. One to store the old value and one for the current value and when that changes, set the old tag's value to the updated value. void myObject_ValueChanged(System.Object sender, Core.Api.DataSource.ValueChangedEventArgs e) { // //do something here with oldMyObjectV...

Re: how to retrieve a value in a tag and transfer in another

Also once its on the Tags Script page, make sure you either name your tags the same as what is in the script or change the script to match your tags and you will need to hook up the event handlers for the SystemTagMonth_ValueChange and the MyValue_ValueChange. See below: store-highest-montly-value.p...
