Here's a quick link explaining how to do that over at Niagara Community:

I also read that even with the Bacnet/IP gateway (LGR) installed, you need to use WebCTRL to specifically set the points to be visible via the Bacnet/IP interface. I forget how, but it was discussed...

I've worked with a few LOGOs. Really basic, entry level PLCs are all they are.

If you have LOGO!Soft Comfort software and the serial or USB cable (I recommend the USB cable) you can connect to...

Oh that makes me sad.

Like some of the others, I hadn't heard any firm details about N4, besides it "wasn't going to use Java".

Now, I hear that it is going to use some Java. Argh! I...

We have a large R2 system here at our plant and I too am keeping my eyes open for what we'll need to do in order to upgrade. Since was also have an Niagara Ax (3.6) system in the facility, it will...

I'm pretty sure that the Siemens WinPM.net system will also work with those ION meters.

The older versions that I've used have been pretty crappy at times (from a developer's standpoint) but it...

Apparently that link is now dead. Here's the updated link:

Ha! I almost spit out my coffee while reading that one! :putergreet:

Not my area, but some searching showed me this document:

which shows CEAS121367-07 being the...

I certainly can't figure out how to get the air quality readings. The provider site changed and then changed again. The last time that I checked, it was now with airnowapi.org where you have to...

Wow, that was easy. Thank you for directing me there!

I agree with the "good luck in stopping them" quote.

I'm an in-house industrial controls engineed who does BMS and regular controls, and it is very difficult to keep network connected machines...

Man, I hate to post on such an old thread, but I'm not familiar with the R2 world, and I need a "delay on" function on a binary line.

I have a BI that's driving an autodialer, and I want to put a...

Also here in Eastern Pennsylvania and to add a twist to the coldness, we're apparently experiencing a bit of a gas shortage, both natural gas and propane.

How that can happen when our state is...

Firmware is a form of software, but I certainly wouldn't classify all software as firmware. Actually, I would classify very little software as firmware.

I'd say that firmware is 'embedded...

Apparently Nest thought that it was a good idea to automatically push out firmware updates to their deployed products, without their customer's knowledge....

Interestingly enough, I just read an article yesterday about cooling electronics in Antartica, and how the dry air makes it difficult.

And I already posted that CarbonBrush makes a drop-in replacement for the TI product. Why wouldn't they just buy that? Odd.

Late reply here, but we've never gotten a USB<->Parallel port adapter to work with a HASP or any other parallel port hardware key, and we tried about three different adapters. Apparently the...

I personally don't know anything about the product, but there are some on eBay, and I see that a drop-in replacement module is listed here:

I've been having failure problems with the smaller four and eight port, blue Linksys switches for years. As matter of fact, I just swapped another one out last week. I had a report of...

I too use Oracle VirtualBox for XP and although I'm running on a decent i5 machine with 8GB of RAM, running a few apps on both the Win7 and XP side with really kill that machine as it gets low on...

Sorry to hear the sad news Osiyo, and I can't imagine the anguish that you're feeling. :(

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Here's some documentation for WebCtrl version five, but I couldn't find anything newer out there:

I wasn't going to post here, but I wanted to let this forum know that I think very highly of you all. (I grew up around Pittsburgh, so I should say yinz.)

I'm not a real HVAC guy, just an...

Well, I sort of have success....

After reading the help files about Tuning Policy, I created a new tuning policy and set the "Max Write Time" to ten minutes.

Now, when I cycle power on...

Thanks for the tip MatrixTransform. I found the tuning policy (it was using the Default Policy), but the settings seem to indicate that the device should write when it comes back up:

I have a Moxa ioLogix Modbus/TCP I/O device that I'm using to grab some inputs and drive some outputs on my Niagara AX Version 3.6.47 system.

I just discovered that if I cycle power to the...

These groups are the data areas that are associated with the different "Function Codes" that Modbus uses.

Wiki actually has a decent breakdown of them:

Whenever I'm given an IP address, before connecting my device, the first thing that I do is try to ping it, to make sure that it's not already active on the network. I have caught a few that were...

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...

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...)

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:

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

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.

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...

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...
