Bridgeview and Lookout Protocol Driver

I am a Bridgeview 2.1.1 Full Dev. System user - was shipped an upgrade disk
w/out the IA Server disk (4.0?). Now as I wait for it, I was trying to look
for the driver set I had on my previous set of dsiks (Bridgeview 2.1 and
IA Server 2.1) - and I cant find it, although I have installed it from my
previous set before. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks.

Sudhi,
I assume finally you got the the National Instruments IA Server CD. If not, you might contact your N.I. sales representative.
Actually, the IA Servers (aka IAK Servers based on the configuration through NI Server Explorer) is not available anymore and is an obolete NI product. However, if you want to communicate with PLC and other 3rd party hardware, I would recommend to get an OPC server from the manufacturer of the hardware. Another option would be to get the Lookout Protocol Drivers from National Instruments which allows you to communicate through the OPC interface to different PLCs (P/N: 777616-01, Industrial Automation Servers with OPC Interface, Win NT/98/95,CD). Those drivers are included in the Control Edtion Packages for LabVIEW. Check it out: ht
tp://amp.ni.com/niwc/suite/control.jsp?node=10418
National Instruments has as well hardware with FREE drivers and OPC servers to make the communication between LabVIEW and the hardware very easy. E.g. the widley known distributed Fieldpoint devices and the well-known DAQ/SCXI systems will come with OPC servers.
Please check it out: www.ni.com/opc
Hope this helps

BridgeView and Lookout Protocol Drivers

I can't find Lookout Protocol Drivres on my CD's. WHAT is Lookout Protocol
Drivers? I have BridgeView 2.1.1 Full Developement System and also Lookout
4.0.1 Developement System. Where should I search fot Lookout Protocol Drivers?

Hi,
If you have the Full Development version of BridgeVIEW 2.1.1, then you should
have got an additional CD called Industrial Automation Servers 4.0. This
CD has the Lookout Protocol drivers on it.

How can I solve the problem, which is shown as Modbus exception response 2 (illegal data address) in lookout protocol driver?

I have a Dynisco UPR700 instrument that has a modbus communication protocol, I use the lookout protocol driver modbus to communicate with it, but the lookout protocol driver gave me the information about "modbus exception response 2 (illegal data address)", how can I solve this problem? where can I set the right data address? Thanks!

Most likely you are trying to access a datamember address that is either not supported or non-existant on the UPR700.
Double check the address that you are writing/reading and make sure that it is supported.

BridgeVIEW engine not launching Lookout Protocol Driver

I am upgrading my Windows NT system to Windows 2000. I installed all the required software, including BridgeVIEW 2.1.1 and the Lookout Protocol Drivers. I use only Modbus to communicate with my PLC.
After finishing the software tuneup and having the system working fine under the "Administrator" account, I created an "operator" account (users group) and started the system and BV under this new user.
The surprise is that apparently the BridgeVIEW engine is not starting the Lookout Protocol Drivers. Actually, it looks as if BridgeVIEW does not want to use it at all, because even when I start the Lookout Protocol Drivers manually, BridgeVIEW can not see it, and does not use it to communicate with the PLC.
If I us
e the Server Explorer, I can communicate with the PLC even under the "operator" account.
I tried giving the "operator" account administrative rights, but that did not change a thing.

If that is the case I would check your DCOM settings.
Here are the basic steps for DCOM. The administrator has access by default by other users may not.
Server computer (NT/2000/XP):
Select Start>>Run and enter dcomcnfg.
Go to the Default Properties tab. Make sure Enable Distributed COM on this computer is checked. Use the following combinations of Authentication and Impersonation options depending on the level of security that you desire:
(None) + Anonymous (no security checking)
Connect + Identify (verification only on the initial connection)
Call + Identify (security check on every call during connection)
(For a better understanding of these different options, use the Help button located on the top right corner of the dcomcnfg window).
Click the Apply button to save these changes.
Go to the Default Security tab. You must make sure that the user who will log on to the client computer has all the necessary permissions. Click on Edit Default in each of the three permission options and grant the specific user the Allow access, Allow Launch and Full Control permissions.
Note 1: If you choose Everyone in each of the three default permissions, a minimal level of security is provided and the remote OPC server will be accessible to all users on your network.
Note 2: Because Default Security applies to all applications, the user gains control over all of them. If you want to grant the user permission for a specific application only, don't modify the Default Security. Instead, use application-level security discussed in the next steps.
Click the Apply button to save these changes.
In the above steps you have specified default settings for all applications. Now go to the Applications tab. Select the remote OPC server which you wish to launch. Click on the Properties button:
a) On the General tab select Default for authentication level, discussed in step 2 above (choose a different authentication level if you want a different authentication level specifically for this application).
b) On the Location tab check Run application on this computer.
c) On the Security tab check Use default permissions for all three permission options. Select custom permissions only if you want to set specific permission options for the particular application you have chosen (see Note 2 above).
d) On the Identity tab you can specify which user�s security context will be used to run the application. The interactive user refers to the user who has logged on to the server computer. The launching user refers to the user who has logged on to the client computer.
e) Click the Apply button to save these changes. Then click the OK button.
Click the OK button to close dcomcnfg.
Reboot your computer so that the new DCOM settings take effect.
Verify User Access Permissions. See below link Setting Proper Access for Remote OPC Server When Using National Instruments OPC Clients.
Also here something for Remote OPC and BridgeVEIW.

Using Bridgeview with the IAK/IAS Server, I was able to read and write several registers using a string tag. In DSC using the Lookout Protocal Driver, I do not see a way to read/write string tags.

In the tag configuration I can select for a string tag, but I do not see a way to set up the Lookout Protocal Driver for a string tag.

That's right - The old IAK/IAS Servers from National Instruments were a tighten developement with BridgeVIEW together - so that they implement the string data type. Since NI recommends to use the LPD drivers instead of the IAK Servers there is no way to configure string tags in the Lookout protocol drivers. The LPDs or Lookout does not really handle arrays/strings at all - that's a limitation for the Lookout protocol drivers.

Can Labview v7.0 talk to a Micrologix 1100 PLC via Lookout Protocol Drivers OPC Server v4.5?

Micrologix 1100 <-> Lookout Protocol Drivers v4.5 <-> Labview v7.0
Hello all,
I am helping a local company to use their existing seat of Labview v7.0 to talk over Ethernet with a new Micrologix 1100 PLC. We were hoping to use their existing OPC server that came with Labview (circa 2000) so that they do not have to purchase a new OPC server. Their Labview package is the "NI Developer Suite Professional v7.0 Control Edition" which comes with a "DSC Module" which contains an OPC server called "Lookout Protocol Drivers OPC Server v4.5 (build7)". This software came out several years before the Micrologix 1100 was born, but OPC is supposed to be a cross-platform, cross-generation standard isnt it?
So, when I set-up the OPC server, it asks me which type of PLC I have and the only choices are AB_Logix (Micrologix 1500), AB_PLC2, AB_PLC5 (15 different flavors), and AB_SLC500 (5 different flavors). Can I use one of these that might be similar to the ML1100? I definitely want to use ethernet, not serial.
My application is just reading and writing a couple of variables from/to the Binary, Integer and Float data storage locations approx once per second.
Does anyone see a problem doing this without having to upgrade the OPC server to something that "officially supports" the ML1100 (Like Kepware)?
Thank you very much!!
frenchy

Hi Frency,
You can always just try the 1500 and cross your fingers! We could try to speculate on the forum, but a quick test would certainly be a better use of time. However, I do recommend that if you can upgrade the OPC server to one that supports the 1100 driver you should do so. Kepware and NI-OPC Servers both support this device.

[[DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.]

Hii ..
need help on this ..
This what I am doing ..
I am using a DATAEXPORT function to export level0 data from my essbase 11.1.2.2 to Microsoft SQL 2008 tables.
So what I did first I exported the level0 data to a flat file using DATAEXPORT and the created the SQL columns by the same in that order only in my SQL table.
When I run it fails with this error:

Total Calc Elapsed Time for [test.csc] : [1.44] seconds
=============================================================
I did a simple test on my Sample.basic application then ..
loaded the calc data to it and then used the below script to export to a flat file
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
                DataExportLevel "Level0";
                DataExportOverwriteFile ON;
                DataExportColFormat OFF;
                DataExportDimHeader OFF;
FIX(
            "Jan",
            "Sales",
            "Actual"
/*DATAEXPORT "File" "," "/home/hypadmin/samtest.txt";*/
DATAEXPORT "DSN" "Abhitest" "sample" "sa" "welcome1";
ENDFIX
out put as below:
"Sales"
"100-30","California"
"Jan","Actual",145
Now In sql I created only 3 columns with name Jan/Sales/Actual and when I run this script again with comments removed .. I get the same error as what I have got in my first test case with other application ..
but when I create the columns with same name as what its in export
Sales/100-30/Califirnia/Jan/Actual
It created the new rows successfully ..
So with this I think the error which I am getting with my other application might be because of the same column issue .. but then I have created all the columns by looking at the export file only as I did in sample ..
Any idea would be helpful ..
Thanks
Abhishek

First make sure you add
DataExportRelationalFile ON;
to your set commands it is missing
I alwats like to also add
DataExportColHeader dimensionName;
so I am sure what dimension is getting put into the columns.
Then count the number of dimensions in your outline (exclude attribute dimensions). You need at least that many columns in your table -1 + the number of members you will be returning as columns in the export
Taking your example Sample basic has 5 dimensions
Measures
Years
Scenario
Product
Market
Since you did not specify a dataexportcolheader it took the dense dimension Scenario as the columns. Your fix statement is limiting that to one member. Doing the math
5 -1 + 1 = 5 columns in your table which is what you found works. Suppose you fixed on bothe Actual and budget in scenario then you would need 6 columns 5 -1 +2

TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed (using Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Service Pack 1

I am using a ThinkPad T520 laptop. Lenovo Solutions Center keeps referring me (with a yellow exclamation mark) to the Device Manager and alerting me to a "non-critical" error. The message is "TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed".
I have found numerous pieces of advice for Windows XP and Vista - but very little for Windows 7. I have however tried the Microsoft "Fix it" solution and it had no effect.
I am still able to connect to the internet via Ethernet cable and wifi. It is however worrying that the warning keeps being raised.
Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Hi Tripplec.
Thanks for the reply. I am away from home at present without my ThinkPad, so will try it at the weekend. I am an experienced computer user but this is a brand new machine and I have never had a laptop that produced error messages without providing any suggested fixes. It seems that Lenovo is not suitable for ordinary home users, but only for computer engineers. Sadly that is not me... so before I plunge in, can I just check some details?
1. You suggest removing the offending network adapters in device manager. Which are the offending adapters that cause a TCP/IP protocol driver error? I am nervous of removing the wrong things and making it worse!
2. You also suggest that I go to Network Connections via Control panel, properties of adapter, Install and select the desired Protocol(s) and install them. Is that an alternative fix to 1 above - or an essential follow-on after removing the offending adapters? (Last week I searched the machine and the Lenovo support page of drivers - and never found a TCP/IP protocol driver. If you know where one can be found, I would prefer to instal a new driver, rather than delete other devices and hope that the machine reinstalls them later!).
Much obliged for your assistance.

Photoshop CC Files and Webdav - mapped drive

Are photoshop files webdav compliant? - we have a document management system and when we save via webdav and a mapped drive it is not versioning the file.

Well, here's an interesting bit of information. I sort-of got versioning working. I used PhotoShop CS6, Mac OS X Mavericks, CyberDuck, Alfresco, WebDAV.
Usually what I would do is go through Adobe Drive CC (which uses CMIS protocol) to log into Alfresco. This works but is at times super slow, and Alfresco no-longer sees previews when I "Check-In" an updated file because the mimetype is somehow lost.
This morning I used CyberDuck (via WebDAV protocol) and logged into Alfresco. CyberDuck has an "edit" button for a file. Clicking it downloads the file (although it didn't "check-out" the file) and opened it up in Photoshop. Every edit I made and clicked save automatically uploaded a new .version number. So if the file version was 2.0, clicking save would make it 2.1.
Some differences I noticed:
Adobe Drive: CMIS
CyberDuck: WebDAV
AD = "Check-In" asks for commit message
CD = just acts as a "Save As" and asks to overwrite the file
AD = "Allows Comments"
CD = I couldn't find any way to comment
AD = versions to a major version number 2.0 -> 3.0
CD = versions to a minor version number 2.0 -> 2.1
AD = will "check-out" a file, effectively locking it
CD = didn't seem to lock the file at all
Additional:
I only tried it briefly this morning, I hadn't tried with any of the other CS6/CC apps. I don't know if Illustrator or InDesign would have issues with linked files using the CyberDuck WebDav approach. Also, I only used CyberDuck as I saw it has WebDAV support from a Google search (wasn't very thorough in my research on this - so plenty of room for improvement).
I really love the concept of Adobe Drive w/ Alfresco and version controlling. But for the love of God why is Adobe Drive so much slower than WebDAV in simple things like even navigating folders in Mac Finder or Windows Explorer?!? It hangs the entire system! This is why I'm looking into WebDAV.

Can I write a data to intrument through Lookout OPC driver sever?

I can read data from intruments through Lookout OPC driver sever, how can I write data to instruments? Can I still use the dataSocket to find the address and send the data through Lookout OPC driver sever? Thanks!

The write should work just like the read. The OPC server will let you write as well as read.

Bridgeview v Lookout

Hi,
Does anybody have any views on which is the best package, Bridgeview or
Lookout?
I basically need to install a plant monitoring system for which I thouight
Fieldpoint modules would be ideal as they could be placed in different
locations around the factory. I need the software to page the duty manager
if certain alarm events happen. It would also be nice to either email a copy
of the offending alarms to the duty manager or publish the panel on the web
so it can be viewed.
Cheers

Andy,
Sure, that BridgeVIEW will do the all you want. I prefer BV because of
visibility of program structure and more freedom to developing anything
I want. Lookout is very good configurable traditional-like SCADA, but in
you
r case I'd prefer and using BV.
Good luck,

What is minimum poll rate for lookout protocol drivers using modbus ethernet

When configuring the device in lookout protocol drivers as modbus ethernet, what is the fastest update rate that can be used. The default value is 1 second and if I try to enter 0:00:500 the computer beeps and will not accept the value

It's possible to enter poll rates smaller than 1 second. Just don't use a colon but a dot as a decimal seperator for the seconds. That means, don't enter "0:00:500" but e. g. "0:00.5". Entering simply ".5" would do it, too.
