Thanks for the follow-up Merkas. I'll have to take a look at their new "ICC Configuratiuon Studio" software.

Our XLTR unit has been rock solid for at least several months now.

I used an ICC XLTR-1000 last year to interface a Sullair air compressor with our BMS system via Modbus.

I didn't use the Siemen's FLN SLave protocol, but I was impressed by the device. It's...

We use both Moxa and various Lantronix devices throughout our plants for serial to IP conversion.

We have firmware for some of the Lantronix devices which translates RS485 Modbus into Modbus/TCP. ...

Interesting. I never checked the license on our Schneider TAC "G3" server, but it shows this:


Brand
brandId = TAC
accept.station.in = *
accept.station.out = *
...

As gowiththeflow mentions, we use the Obix driver to share some points between our R2 server and our G3/AX server. It's an almost seamless way to access points from the other machine.

I gotta agree with TCF. It's much easier to learn after you watch how ALC does the system programming.

I learned ALC from watching over the technician who came in, and then started making...

Unless you're attempting to view an ALC system, which works ONLY with Internet Explorer, apparently due to their usage of ActiveX components. (Well, I can use Firefox with IE Tab, but that's...

Now this sounds interesting! Any more details for the unwashed masses?

Which app is also by Google? http://www.floorplanner.com seems to be a web based service, and not associated with Google. I'm confused (as usual...)

I've started using Sketchup at home (I need...

As an update to anyone who happened to be following this situation, it appears that we now have the points working.

As discussed elsewhere on here, the 3.6.47 release of AX had some improvements...

Am I the only one who prefers to cut their electrical tape (usually with dikes) instead of ripping it? I'm a desk jockey, so maybe I'd do differently if I was an installer and had limited time,...

Isn't that the truth! :grin2: They have officially morphed into a mobile phone sales store, but I'm thankful that they at least still carry some electronic parts.

According to a recent email that I got from Tridium Tech support, they said:

> If you need to find a different Niagara supplier, we recommend you
> give Schneider a shout at (815) 637-3000. ...

From what I hear, the class depends greatly on the instructor....

My supervisor had JCI training in Arizona last year and it was not so good, but this year he had a class in Baltimore and said...

I've been having OPC problems on our "G3" server which is running Niagara-3.6.31 and it was suggested over on niagara-central that I upgrade to 3.6.47.1 since there have been many fixes. I obtained...

No dice. :gah:

The points lasted about a day as normal before stopping to update, and not showing any error when they failed. That's quite annoying when you think that the points are okay...

That is something that I did not try. I'll give it a shot and see if the points stay alive any longer than they do now.

Well, Tektronix (and Fluke) were purchased by Danaher ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danaher_Corporation ) so their quality will likely be declining.... Having worked for a company that was...

That's even better, but for now I'd settle for "Made in the USA" just to get people back to work!

I've met a lot of people in Kentucky who work for Toyota, and even though their company profits go...

Yup, Walmart does have some Made in USA stuff, and I do try to look for those products. I recently was buying some socks there and noticed that with the ones that I was looking at, there were packs...

Dang, I am still losing points, but the failure mode is now different since I turned off "Switch to sync io". Now it doesn't show the read fault errors, but the points just stop updating even though...

I think this is an interesting idea. Sadly, they would likely have problems finding enough products to stock the store with, since the manufacturing of so many things has been shipped out of our...

Thanks for the info Sam.

I was irked when I read about UEFI since I'm a big Linux user, so I'm glad to hear that a solution with the pre-bootloader is being developed.

Jim

Not much info on the web out there about this.

I did see something on Niagara Central, which suggested turning off "Switch to sync io", so I did that.

So far so good, but I'm not sure how long...

I've been having this problem for a while now, and it seems to be increasing in frequency.

I have a bunch of points from some PLCs on our Kepware OPC server. In our Niagara AX G3 ( Version 3.6.34...
