I would like to use the out-of-bounds function in the ignition SCADA. This function is working in the Ignition Designer Launcher but not in the Vision Client Launcher. Does someone have an idea where the problem is?
You know that this is working only if YOU try to input the value into the numeric textbox... not when the tag value changes from the PLC?
Thank you for your reply.
In the ignition Vision Client launcher, I have a popup window containing parameters.
By using Bounds, I tried to restrict these values. This function is working in the Designer Launcher. I was expecting that this would work in the Vision client after downloading the program, but it does not.
Is there any Vision-Permition parameter in project properties that could cause this problem?
I know that this should only work with SCADA. It is logical that if I change a value on the PLC in a data block, SCADA can't prevent that. I use bound on the Siemens HMI without any issues.
What do you mean by this? Where do you "download" a "program"...?
When you make changes in the designer and when you click the "save" button, the changes will propagate to the open clients if you have "notification" or "push" selected in the project properties:
You can easily run the vision client from a designer with F10 or F11.
In your case, it looks like the client doesn't know about the latest changes to the project.
I saved and pushed changes on the gateway and then confirming the changes in the Vision client. I have the latest changes in the Vision client. I try to send multiple times from the Launcher designer into the Vision client, but bounds works only in Launcher but not in Vision.
Try this:
- Close the client
- Close the Designer
- Delete the "cache" folder in the: "C:\Users\YOUR_USER\.ignition\
- Launch the Designer with your project
- Press F10 and try it
It still doesn't work, but I find something interesting. It does not work only If I enter numbers in the MIN and MAX boundery manualy .It works on text fields with numeric values that I have bound with other tags.
You can't "push" changes on the gateway...
This button, beside the "Save" button, is for merging the changes that have been made on the same (open) project by some other designer/user (like when multiple users are working on the same project).
When YOU make changes to the project in the designer, you just click the "Save" button and any open client will get the changes (either by notification bar or by push)
I just created memory tags for the ˝Doseg sonde˝ parameter and bound them to minimal and maximal bounds, and it worked. Have you any clue why manually inserted values do not work however values attached to memory tags do work?
I'm assuming that you drag&drop the tag to the numeric text field...
When you do that, the Minimum and Maximum property gets bonded to the EngLow and EngHigh property of the tag.
In the designer, you can change by hand the values in these properties (Minimum, Maximum of the numeric text field) and those changes are not written back to the tag (EngLow, EngHigh: because the bidirectional is off), but in runtime (Vision client) those values for the Minimum and Maximum are read from the tags EngLow and EngHigh, and these are 0 and 100 by default when you create tag...
At first just inserted numbers for Bound min and max manually. It didnt work in Vision but just in Designer. Then I created memory tags and bind them to Data-->Minimum/Maximum. Now is working. Do you know why manually inserted values does not work but values binded with memory tags do works?
- Remove binding (right-click on the Minimum/Maximum property) and then change the value
or - Change the values of the EngLow/EngHigh property in the Tag...
If I change EngHigh and EngLow directly in the tag, bounding works in Vision as well. If I write values in the Vision Property Editor, these values are not read/writte back to the tag. That is the problem. It looks that we are getting closer with resolving the problem.
Like I said...
