How to use the "Get Shared Variable List" VI on an RT target?

Hello,
I'd like to programatically iterate through all the shared variables in a library hosted on my CompactRIO. I dropped the "Get Shared Variable List" VI into my Real-Time VI, but when I tried deploying it, LabVIEW said
Deploying PRC_GetVarList.viPRC_GetVarList.vi loaded with errors on the target and was closed.
LabVIEW: Failed to load shared library dscProc.dll:ni_lvdsc_process_GetTagListEnd:C. Ensure that the library is present on the RT target. Use MAX to install NI software or FTP to transfer custom libraries to the RT target.
LabVIEW: Failed to load shared library dscProc.dll:ni_lvdsc_process_GetTagListBegin:C. Ensure that the library is present on the RT target. Use MAX to install NI software or FTP to transfer custom libraries to the RT target.
I looked at the MAX Software Wizard, but couldn't find any DSC-related modules. Where should I be looking?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
The DSC palette is not supported on Real-Time VIs and will lead to errors when deployed. Unfortunately, to have a successful build you will need to modify your application and remove any of the VIs from the DSC palette on your RT Target.

Get Shared Variable List function

I have created a Project; when I use "Get Shared Variable List" function, I'm enountering this error: "Error 1055 occurred at Property Node in Mechanical Room1.lvlib:MechRoom5.vi; Object reference is invalid". I've just connected the name of the process the shared variable is belong to. The vi is also in this Project library. I appreciate any help.

Hi,
I've created an example vi which should help out. It gets a list of all processes deployed, and then returns a list of variables for each of those processes.
This should help to make sure that you are specifying a valid process name to the function, as this could be the cause of the error.
Try running this and see if you get the same error. If you do then can you post your project files, or a smaller project that still shows the problem, and I'll take a further look at this for you.

How to use the date repository variable in filter expression

Hi Gurus
I am getting error in using the date repository variable in Filter expression. I am using the below formula
filter( Fact.calls USING "Dim Time"."Fiscal Month End Date" = VALUEOF("month_start") )
I am getting below error
Formula syntax is invalid.
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 22024] A comparison is being carried out between non-compatible types. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT filter( fact.Calls using "Dim Time"."Fiscal Month End Date" =VALUEOF("month_start")) FROM "Call Data"
Then i tryed the below format i am getting still the error
filter( Fact.calls USING "Dim Time"."Fiscal Month End Date" = DATE'(VALUEOF("month_start"))' )
Formula syntax is invalid.

Hi @li,
Syntax-1 is fine it will work,What kind of Variable is it?
Static or Dynamic
Thanks,

How is work "Get Shared Variable List with another computer " ?

Hi all
I can't receive the list of Shared Variables from another computer .
From localhost computer I received it.
Why?
Regards
Iskander

First the stupid questions...
Are you sure the variables have been deployed on the other computer?
Are you sure you have the right IP Address?
Could your IT department be blocking you?
Could Windows firewall be blocking you?

Error -1950679035 When Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable

While communication of PLC & labview 2014 SP1 via modbus ethernet I am getting continuously Error -1950679035 as per attachment.

If the Distributed System Manager isn't running, then something is seriously wrong! Has it ever worked? Have you ever had a successful deployment of Shared Variables? Have you recently installed a new version or updated LabVIEW? These questions are designed to see if something "broke", or possibly never worked in the first place ...

How to get the tag of the User Defined Variables using the Get Tag method%3F

For the cRIO modules under a cRIO Chasis, a tag value can be obtained using the Get Tag method with crio.Type to the TagName input of the method. When it comes to the User Defined Variables, what should be fed to the TagName input?

With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
*One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
*Never

Srini

Hello,
You can use Pull list for st.location transfers, if you are into WM managed then this pull list used a lot.
You can use the pulllist to the max. extent. But with IM managed plant the use is limited and this is used only for storage location transfers.
Issue cannot be done for Production orders. You can bring the materials to the req. storage locations and after that you have issue in the order or manually for the order.

How to use the variables used in the message mapping

Hi ,
In the message mapping we can declare variables in the JAVA section , these variables could be used across the mapping .
I have tried using it but I am unable to retrieve the values assigned to the variables in one UDF into the another UDF .
Please guide me how to use the variables declared in the JAVA section in the message mapping .
Thanks
Anita Yadav

Anita,
I have worked on the Global variables and i found no issues. Make sure that the variable is declared in the Declaration Section and then initlaized in the Initialization section.
If you declare a variable in the Declaration Section ,
int i;
then in any udf you can use if directly. No need to re declare the variable in the UDF. If you do this, then it becomes a local variable.

How to add a new Shared Variable programmatically to an existing and deployed library?

Hi there!
I am trying to accomplish this on both LabVIEW 8.6 and LabVIEW 2010 and seems like it's not any different in this situation.
My case: A project has a library with 4 Shared Variables (SVs). The library and the variables are deployed (visible in Distributed System Manager 8.6/2010). I want to add 2 more variables into this library. It is possible to do this manually from Project Explorer window's options menu. But while running an application it has to be done programmatically. Can I provide the library reference to the one currently existing without creating a new one?
"Create Or Add Library To Project" function in the Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) toolkit does not help in this case. That function, as the name suggests, just tries to create a new library in the project.
Two possible methods:
The function "Add Shared Variable To Library" (DSC>EngineControl>Libraries & Processes) needs a library reference, which could be provided via "CreateOrAddLibraryToProject" function, but this function tries to create a new library, and if I provide the path of the existing library it throws an exception that the library already exists in the project (yes, as I wrote above, I need to add new variables to an existing and deployed library).
OR
The function "Create Shared Variable" (DSC>EngineControl>Variables & I/O Servers) will add Shared Variable in a process, and not physically in a library file, and the problem (limitation) with this approach is that it doesn't allow to add complex data type Shared Variables (for example in LabVIEW 8.6 it has only 4 datatype options in input parameter, and even in LV2010 it does not have "Image" datatype that I need).
The scond method is my preferred method as it allows to work on Online Shared Variables and doesn't create them physically in libraries (and this is good as the variables' scope remains only till the Variable Engine is running). But it doesn't support advanced data types, and the first method is powerful in terms that it supports to virtually any datatype, it just seems tricky to get that reference to the library.
Any tips?
Thanks ahead!
Vaibhav

<<<<>>>>
As the above two images show, while a library does not exist, it is easy to use the "CreateOrAddLibraryToProject.vi" which will add a new library to the project (if it doesn't exist on file system, a new library will be created) and that way, using the reference (the green wire going out from the function and the Case Structure, can be used to add Shared Variables to the library. The problem was what to do when a library already exists in the project, how to add more variables to it. I was looking for a way to get a library reference, and somehow I could not see it inside a Project's property (VI Server functions). Hence I posted the question. And upon continuing my search, I found it on the Application's property list.
I hope it was useful for someone else as well. And thanks for the replies. Please share a better idea if you have.

How to use the POST method In Oracle APEX 3.1

Hi,
In APEX if we are submitting the page the parameters( Variables ) will pass through URL.
How to hide the these parameters from URL??
I Hope POST method will solve this problem.
How to use the POST method in APEX???
Help me out to solve this problem.
thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Shan

In APEX if we are submitting the page the parameters( Variables ) will pass through URL.No they won't. Submission POSTs the <tt>wwv_flow</tt> form.
Sometimes a branch may be performed after submission, generating a URL in which parameter values are visible. To avoid this, use the save state before branching option.
Other actions—like using navigation lists, or clicking a link in a report—will perform a GET using parameters in the URL. In these cases using Session State Protection is advised.

Modbus Ethernet read and write to a Eurotherm 6180XIO Modbus server using LV8.2 shared variables

I am having EXTREME difficulty trying to establish communications with a Modbus device using LV8.2 shared variables. The device is a Eurotherm 6180XIO Datalogger configured as a Modbus master. The PC and a cFP-1804 are slaves. All IP addresses are set correctly. This approach using shared variables would seem simple, but I can't find any examples or proper guidance on how to get it working. I am trying to avoid having to mess around with TCP/IP, OPC, or any other old-fashioned method.
I have read many threads on related topics but none directly apply to this situation. I have created a library containing a Modbus I/O server and shared variables bound to read and write holding registers. I have followed all recommended tips for creating such variables but I can neither read or write data. All data types are U16 due to Modbus protocol limitations. I have also applied the LV x10 factor in the most significant digit in the register offset (6 digits instead of 5).
I have a cFP-1804 on the same network which reads into the datalogger OK. The registers I use are 31000 (for CH0 on module 0, 31002 for CH1, etc) and the data can be read as FLOAT32. I have updated the firmwate on the 1804 to the latest level. I cannot even get shared variables to read SGL values. Using registers 301001 for CH0 and 301002 for CH1 I can only read U16 values, and not a 2-word SGL.
Third party Modbus simulation software is able to write to and read from registers very easily, but not LabVIEW.
Some questions are:
- do I use a Modbus master or slave as an I/O server in the library as a target for binding the shared variables?
- is there some other wierd translation in register offsets between LabVIEW and traditional Modbus?
- is this actually possible using shared variables or am I wasting my time?

Sending the whole 60-character string using a string or array would be the most efficient. I have tried both methods, and these only cause the datalogger to flag a message log but no text is displayed.
For a string variable, I have used the following binding "My Computer\Modbus Test.lvlib\ModbusServer6180\442305", where ModbusServer6180 is a Modbus I/O server configured with the logger IP address, and 42304 is the register offset at the start of the text block in the logger. I need to write to 30 consecutive registers starting with this one. I am not using buffering and have not enabled single writer.
Can anyone confirm whether this method should work in 8.2?
Does the string need a special termination character?
