Is there a Modbus TCP driver built into Lookout ?

Is there a built in ModbusTCP driver or do I need to add-in a third party OPC server.
Thanks!

The Modbus object in Lookout supports Modbus RTU/ASCII, Modbus Plus, and Modbus TCP.  I am using all three protocols with great success.

  • Are there any ADA features for the visually impared built into SL?

    Hi,
    I am just about to buy a mac Mini for my Mother-in-law who suffer from macular degeneration. I was hoping that there might be some features built into Snow Leopard that were designed to assist the visually impared?

    It's difficult to generalise for any individual user, as almost every partially sighed person has different preferences.
    As V.K. pointed out, there are several features built into the Universal Access pane of System Preferences.
    However, you can begin with the Desktop & Screen Saver pane in System Preferences. You can choose from a wide variety of backgrounds to give the appropriate glare reduction and/or contrast enhancement that might be necessary. Try first the Desktop Pictures folder itself, and the Nature folder (Ladybug and Tranquil Surface can be restful for stressed eyes). Wave, in the Black & White collection, can also be helpful, as can Pinstripe in the Patterns folder. Finally, it's worth exploring the Solid Colours, as icons and such show up most clearly against these.
    You can also change the background colours of Finder windows (unfortunately only in Icon view), by using the View—>Show View Options menu command (shortcut Command-J), selecting the "Color" radio button and clicking on the white square. This opens the Colour Picker which enables the user to fine-tune the background to suit his or her vision. It can be very helpful to set the backgrounds of different folders to strongly contrasting colours, as they can be easily identified and selected without zooming in to see what they are. For example, if the Applications window is set to blue, the Utilities to a light brown, the Home folder to red, and the Documents folder to yellow, they are very easy to distinguish on the Desktop.
    You can change the size of icons and the text identifying them, also in the Finder's View Options pane, and the Highlight colour (in the Appearance pane of System Preferences).
    Moving on, in the Universal Access pane, of course there is VoiceOver itself, which enables even totally blind people to operate the Mac more or less comprehensively. However, learning this may be somewhat daunting to a person who is losing her sight, particularly someone new to the Mac. As A Brody indicated, this also provides Braille output, though again there might be a learning curve if the lady does not already know Braille. VoiceOver can be set to use Grade 1 (uncontracted) Braille, which is much easier than the contracted (Grade 2) forms.
    Also in Universal Access, as Dire Wolf pointed out, there are several zoom options. The simplest is to hold down the Ctrl key and scroll with mouse or trackpad. There are also fixed zoom positions that may be more suitable, as they can be reached with a single keystroke. The zoom range is up to 20 times magnification. The zoom can be configured to follow the keyboard focus (though this works best in Apple applications, and some third-party apps do not work in this way), or to keep the cursor in the middle of the screen, or to move the image when the pointer reaches an edge of the screen.
    The colours of the screen can be inverted, giving white on black instead of black on white, as referred to by Steven. Other colours may give a somewhat strange appearance—but it is worth experimenting with desktop and window backgrounds to give the most satisfactory solution. Alternatively, the whole display can be switched to greyscale, and the contrast tweaked to give maximum readability.
    Finally, the third-party application VisioVoice provides a wide range of specialist contrast-enhancement and readability tools, as well as the ability to speak text or convert it to sound files for use in iTunes or on MP3 players and iPods. I know one person who uses the Text Enlarger window to show white text on a dark blue background, as this suits her eye condition best. Others prefer yellow text against muddy brown…
    Hope this helps!

  • Controlling a Load Drive using Modbus TCP or Ethernet IP

    Hello,
    My name is Francisco Loras. My team and I are looking forward to building a dynamometer in order to obtain test standards for motors. We're going to use a Load Drive in order to control the Load Motor. The Drives we have been looking at are either from ABB or from Yoskawa (a1000), both offer the option of connecting via Modbus TCP/IP or via Ethernet IP. I was wondering if someone has previously worked with them and could give me some feedback on either the drive or connection type. I would preferrably use Ethernet because the complete system we're building requires at least one more ethernet connection (for a Power Analyzer).
    Besides this, we were counting on using a Chassis from NI to put everything together. When looking at the specific modules, we considered two options:
    1- Using an ethernet module (from NI that fits in the Chassis) to drive in both the Power Analyzer and the Load Drive.
    2- Using an ethernet switch setting specific IP addresses. 
    Has someone used any of these before? A switch would be close to 50 times cheaper than using the ethernet module itself so I'm a bit worried there might be something that limits it or that I'm missing (noise maybe?).
    To conclude, I'm looking forward to se if someone has:
    1) Used Ethernet IP or Modbus TCP/IP to control a Load Drive, which connection type is best if any.
    2) Recommended any specific load drive
    3) Experience with using an ethernet switch or an ethernet module.
    Thankyou very much for your help and time,
    Francisco
    PD. If something is unclear (which I sense it is) please ask me and I can develop more on it.

    Florasga,
    Which ethernet module are you looking at? And what kind of chassis are you planning on using?
    There's some more information on Modbus here. Also, have you seen this forum post?

  • Using Muse, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a website that is already built into a mobile website.

    Using Muse, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a website that is already built into a mobile website. I have no idea how the website was originally built. My client is asking me to build a mobile site for his current site without touching his desktop site. His site was originally built in Dreamweaver I think but he have no way of finding the files and lost contact with his original designer. We don't want to start a new site from scratch with a new domain because he is afraid of losing his seo work.
    In other words. My client site was build in Dreamweaver or something else. I am not a programer and was going to use muse to make his mobile site. So the question is how do I link a muse made mobile site to his desktop site?
    Thank you.

        as62467 We appreciate your G3 question! Let's see how we can help. What you are able to adjust is the USB connection mode by going to the home screen and selecting'recent apps' (in the touch keys bar), settings,storage, the menu (the 3 tiny dots) and tap usb pc connection. If you do not want the software to try and install choose either the internet connection or camera option. Let us know if this helps.

I know drive is working  because I can put in a purchased cd and can import it into my library, but now it just sits there and hums until I maually eject the disc.Before all this started it said something about that I should "calibrate disc", since then it won't let me do any burning. I can't find any options in " preferences to change anything except the burn speed. Any suggestions? Tried rebooting, tried using my wifes iTunes on same comptuer.

  • Is there Wireless Capability built into the eMac?

    Can someone tell me if there is Wireless Capability built into the eMac? I would like to use it wireless from my Linksys router. If it is built in, where would I look to set it up? Thank you.

    You have the eMac from 2002, right? You will need a "classic" AirPort card that looks like THIS:
    http://afterthemac.com/wireless/airport_card.jpg
    The eMacs made between 2003-2006 use the faster AirPort Extreme card. I had an eMac that recently bit the dust, but I salvaged the AirPort Extreme card that I got with it (ordered a 1.42 GHz eMac to replace it, so this AirPort Extreme card should come in handy).

  • Is there a way to disable the HSTS ( HTTP Strict Transport Security ) list built into Firefox or to allow exceptions?

    HSTS is problematic in that it incorrectly assumes that all users trust the default list of CAs and makes the adding of exceptions impossible even by advanced users.
    For example, torproject.org is inaccessible on Firefox unless I am willing to trust DigiCert to never sign a fake certificate either by negligence or by court order of any country in witch they operate, thereby making every https: site ( not just torproject.org ) vulnerable to a MITM attack.
    A user disabling CAs in the browser is not unreasonable given the ever growing list of CAs built into Firefox ( each one a potential point of failure ), the number of CAs that have been recently compromised and the very low standards required to obtain a certificate.
    While I understand the desire to protect the average user who doesn't understand how certificates work and will click past warnings without reading them, this protection should not come at the expense of more security conscious users.
    I would recommend an about:config setting that would allow the creation of exceptions by users who explicitly choose to do so.
    So far the only kludge I have been able to come up with is to modify c:\program files\mozilla firefox\xul.dll with a hex editor and replace the sites on the list ( this is far from an ideal solution ).

    dumdidadida: Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't address the problem. HSTS is designed to FORCE the use of https, this is a good thing in most cases. However, HSTS is problematic in that it incorrectly assumes that all users trust the default list of CAs and makes the adding of exceptions impossible even by advanced users.
    torprojec.org is just an example, this effects every HSTS site. You can reproduce this problem yourself in version 17 or later if you temporary disable "DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA" in your certificate store and then visit torproject.org. You will notice the ability to add exceptions has been removed and that the cert_override.txt file found in the user's profile is also ignored.

  • Access to Cisco Switch Modbus Register Map? via Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU

    Hello Folks, I have been trying to find out how to access the Modbus Register Map(s) of Cisco switches, of particular interest is that of an IE 3000 as it is din rail mountable (but for models 2960s, 3560s are also of interest).  A google search for: Cisco Switch Modbus TCP results in (if I may) how to configure a Cisco 2520 to do what I am trying to do.  I would be very grateful for any hints anybody might have.  Thanks

    Though I am not familiar with the specific drives in question, I have used Modbus/TCP in LabVIEW a few times recently.
    As the previous posters pointed out, there are a couple of VI libraries available.  LabVIEW 2014 added Modbus VI's with the DSC and LabVIEW Real-Time.  The others you would have to get and add in yourself.
    Another option is to use LabVIEW I/O Servers; as long as you have DSC or Real-Time, you can create Modbus I/O Servers as library items and deploy to a target.  You don't get as much direct control in this way (and may run into difficulties if you need them to be field-configurable and do not have DSC) and use bound network shared variables, but they are very fast and easy to setup and I have yet to have any issues with using them in my applications.
    A tutorial on setting up a Modbus I/O Server: http://www.ni.com/tutorial/13911/en/
    A tidbit on deciding between Modbus VI's and a Modbus I/O Server: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370622M-01/lvmve/choose_modbus_ioserver_vi/
    As for using an Ethernet switch to connect multiple devices, I have used this approach many times to simultaneously connect and control numerous PC's, real-time controllers, and drives without issue.  I would not expect there to be any problems unless you have extenuating circumstances.  In fact, if you only have one network interface on your device at the moment, I would recommend against adding a second, as this would mean that you / your controller would have to be extra aware of which interface everything is assigned to go through.

  • Need Help Streaming Video From Web Server Built Into Application - Linksys WRT54g Router

    Very much appreciate any help getting streaming video feed from web server built into video application to work properly using port forwarding on my Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
    Here is the situation:
    My PC is connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
    The Windows XP Pro SP2 firewall is enabled, with a firewall exception established for the video camera application.
    On the router, forwarding of port 80 is enabled for the LAN IP address of the PC running the video application with an embedded web server, and the web server in the video camera application is also set to use port 80.
    I have a free DYNDNS account and also run the DYNDNS updater program on the PC running the video application with embedded web server. According to the DYNDNS web site and the DYNDNS updater program, the IP address assigned to the machine running the video application with embedded web server is set correctly in my dyndns account.
    When I open a browser (Explorer or Firefox) on the PC running the video camera application with embedded web server, I am able to  connect to the video application's web server by going to the dyndns address linked to the machine running the video application. The video application's web server is set to use the dyndns address. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't connect to the video application's web server from any machine that connects to the internet that uses a router other than the router used by the PC running the video application. I am only able to connect to the streaming video from the application's web server only on machines that connect to the internet using the same (home) router used by the PC that is running the video application.
    Since I am able to connect to the video app's embedded web server successfully on the machine running the video application, it seems that at least something about the current port forwarding settings is correct. For example, if I uncheck 'enable' for forwarding of port 80 on the router settings page, I am no longer able to connect to the video app's web server when I try to do so in a browser running on the machine running the video app. When I re-enable port 80 forwarding on the router, I am again able to connect to the web server of the video application on the machine running the video app. I thought that by enabling forwarding of port 80 on the router and associating that port with the LAN IP of the machine running the video application, it would be possible to connect to the streaming video of the video app's embedded web server from ANY machine connected to the internet, but that is not the case. There must be some other router settings to update/change in order to get the port forwarding working to enable a successful connection to the video web server, but I am stumped. Very grateful for any suggestions as to how to get this working properly.
    Thanks in advance...

    The firewall log can be configured on the third tab in the window for the firewall settings, where you can turn the firewall on and off completely.
    From your tests, though, it does not seem to be the firewall. However, to be sure, it would be good to check the log. It will help to eliminate the firewall as the culprit and you may find it handy in the future, too. ;-) Just don't forget to turn the log off again after you are done because it may cause some performance penalty on your system while on.
    From what you write, it seems as if I should give a little networking background on the ip addresses you'll see. Your setup is (or should be) a modem connected to the WAN/Internet port of the WRT. The computer is connected into a LAN port of the WRT.
    Your router has two IP addresses (that's what makes it a router): a WAN address and a LAN address. The WAN address is the address assigned by the ISP. It is a normal internet IP address. Everyone is able to send packets to this IP address. The WAN address is the one reported by whatismyipaddress.com, it should be listed in the dyndns record and it is the address that your router shows on the Status page. It's the public IP address of your router. Dyndns maps your dyndns.org name to that IP address.
    Your router also has an IP address on the LAN side. You can configure it to be whatever you want. The default is 192.168.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and it is better to leave it like that or at least inside the network 192.168.*.*. 192.168 is a special, reserved IP address range for private networks. Basically, routers in the internet are not supposed to forward addresses in this range. That makes them suitable for private LANs as the packets never can get anywhere. Most people using Linksys routers have there LAN in 192.168.1.*.
    The router acts as gateway, which means it forwards packets from PCs in the LAN to the internet and back. As all your PCs in your LAN share a single WAN IP address, the gateway does address translation (NAT). This works only in one direction: from the inside to the outside. The router remembers when a PC in your LAN sends something out and accepts the responses in and sending them back to the PC. If something comes in from the internet which cannot be associated with a ongoing communication the packet is dropped unless you use port forwarding.
    All computers in your LAN either have a static IP address assigned or use DHCP to get it automatically. The router has a DHCP server as well which gives out IP address from 192.168.1.100-149 if not changed. With a router with default settings static IP addresses can be in the range of 192.168.1.2-99 and 150-254.
    ipconfig /all reports your IP address in your LAN, i.e. an address 192.168.1.*. The gateway in this output should be 192.168.1.1 which is your router. And packet no in the LAN address range 192.168.1.* is send to the router which forwards the packets into the internet.
    An address 192.168.1.* should not appear as internet address in the Status page of the router nor should it appear at dyndns.
    Port forwarding is used to operate a server in the LAN. By default, a server in the LAN cannot be reached from the internet. You have to configure port forwarding for this. You configure that traffic bound for a specific port (e.g. TCP port 80 for http) on your WAN IP address is forwarded to the same port on a specific LAN IP address. If your server runs on 192.168.1.50 than traffic to your WAN IP address port 80 is forwarded to 192.168.1.50 port 80. That way your HTTP server can be reached from the internet. As you can only configure a fixed IP address in port forwarding it is recommended that the server uses a static IP address and not DHCP as in the latter case the IP address may change over time...
    O.K. so much for networking. I hope that makes things a little clearer and you can verify that your setup is how it is intended to be.
    I suggest the following: on the router's security page there is an option to block WAN requests. Remove the check if it is set (meaning: do not block). After you did that change you should be able to ping your WAN address (e.g. ping xxxx.dyndns.org) from the internet. That way we know that it is on the correct address.
    Also on the Administration page make sure that remote management is disabled (should be like that per default) or that the management port is NOT 80 but for example 8080. What is your your UPnP settings on the same page?
    O.K. that should be enough for the moment...

  • Modbus TCP with Beckhoff (Wago)

    Hi,
    I'm looking for examples/how to/lib/dll to build a communication to a Beckhoff BK9000(similar to Wago 750) which have a Ethernet - Modbus TCP Option.
    I'm able to write via LabVIEW-TCP-Functions but only once after powering on and the result/answer is more confusing.
    For the lookout OPC variant i heared there is still some additional software needed - true? or is it possible to set up the communication with lookout OPC without third party driver?
    Thanks for any help
    Hans

    Hi JAMR,
    There are plenty of examples that setup up the tcp server communications. If you open up the NI Example Finder and double click on the Networking Folder (under the Browse tab). You can then select the TCP & UDP folder and find several examples that use TCP. Also, there is a great knowledge-base article that provides information about network communication with TCP/IP messaging protocol. Essentially, what you are going to want to do is establish basic connectivity between the computer and the device and then assign the device an IP address. Before you do anything with the driver for the device, you might try to ping the device first. Once you can get this working, then you can set up the TCP/IP communication. I hope this helps!

  • Problems with Modbus OMNI driver

    Lookout version 5.1 (build 8)
    I am using the Modbus OMNI driver to communicate with 6 OMNI 6000 flow computers at 56K (Hardwired) with a poll rate of every 20 seconds, receive gap 270 bytes and a failure of 1000mS.
    The problem I have is that when scanning the OMNI, not only are they slow to respond hence the long delays between scans, but I am also finding that the OMNI data for handling digital outputs is being corrupted causing?? them to fire faster than the period I have set in the OMNI. i.e. if I set a pulse output to occur when 1m3 of fluid has past I should get one pulse from the digital output. What is happening is that the outputs slowly start firing much quicker than this until we lose control of the signal and have to reconfigure the flow computer.
    Is there a possibility that Lookout is corrupting some of the memory areas within the OMNI and causing this.
    I see from other users that they are having problem with slow responses from this driver.
    Any advice you have on this matter would be useful

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

    I want to move my itunes library from the mac HD to an external plugged into the time capsule, but I want to be sure this drive will still be backed up by time machine.  I currentlly see no way to do this.

    There is no way. You can connect the drive to your Mac and remove it from the Time Machine exclusion list. Then it will be backed up, but that will stop when you reconnect it to the TC. While it's connected to the TC, you can copy it manually to another AirPort Disk by following the instructions here (with a slight modification):

  • How to use the BD menu built into the player in Encore CS4

    I cant get Encore to create a production that responds to the player Top Menu button (Panasonic Direct Navigator table). Cyberlink, which was bundled with the burner, does this by default. Place a number of videos into the production, dont create a menu, and OK!: Press the Top Menu button and the player's built in table pops up with a list of all titles.
    In Encore, press the Top Menu button, and you get 'operation not allowed'. It appears that Encore requires a Title button action?, but opening the player table is not an option. There is no Title button on the remote; there is Top Menu and Popup Menu.
    There's got to be a simple solution. Player menu tables have been around since DVDs.
    thanks

    I'm not aware of any method to access a menu system that is only built into hardware.  My own Sony DVD does not have such a menu, and if there is none on the DVD, I get none during playback no matter which buttons I press.
    The standard method is to add your own menu if you want a menu.
