Poor response of LV 8.0.1 & DSC with RSLinx

Hi,
I'm having some flakey problems with response times using LV DSC 8.0.1 reading shared variables connected to RSLinx 2.50.  The aim here is to see if LV DSC is sufficiently robust enough to use it as an HMI on a large project.  (I've previously used RSView32 without any mentionable problems on a 5000+ tag system)
The arrangements are:
ControlLogix PLC running sample code being scanned via 100Mb Ethernet connection from RSLinx Gateway 2.50.00.20 (CPR7)
LabVIEW 8.0.1 with DSC module 8.0.1
Shared variables linked to RSLinx Gateway via Topic
Sample front panel with BOOL buttons, Double and BOOL indicators etc.
A second computer running Server Explorer 2.4.1 to look at OPC tags (SV) from the SV engine and RSLinx
OPC scan rates set to 100ms placing on scan about 30 tags (to use PLC parlance!)
After a few false starts largely to do with data types I have the systems running but am experiencing somewhat flakey performance comparing button presses to indicator illumination.
There seems to be a delay in relaying all types of data to the front panel of somewhere between 4-10seconds or more.  This has been confirmed by using RSLogix 5000 to look at the ladder code and RSLinx Data Monitor to monitor the PLC tags.  BOOL button writes are too quick to measure so I know it's not a problem of sending the information.  This response seems to be corrected by means of a reboot but not all the time!
Are there any Shared Variable issues with LabVIEW 8.0.1 and DSC 8.0.1 that are cured by a patch or by an upgrade to 8.2?
Can I monitor any performance parameters or memory use to helpl diagnose the problem?
Thanks...Andy

Writing this purely for the record!
We found that the slowdown problem was random and was either non-existent or at maximum 14 seconds.  The problem was "cured" by moving the Shared Variable engine to another computer, leaving RSLinx running on the original computer.  There seemd to be no delay in 1-day of testing but I may be proved wrong!
Our architecture (which we'd intended to do) will therefore be RSLinx 2.50 on a Control server, LabVIEW DSC and the Shared Variable Engine on another.  Clients will then connect to the SVE to pull off HMI displays and to view data.

  • Poor Response Time

    The issue:
      Two servers setup with a BO cluster (BoxA and BoxB).
      Content switch setup to round-robin users to BoxA or BoxB.  (E.g.: first
    user request is sent to BoxA.   Second user request is sent to BoxB, etc.).
    Sticky bit is turned on.
      When BoxA is running the CMS server, all requests sent to BoxA run
    perfectly.
      Requests sent to BoxB have poor response time.  Our thought is that the
    request gets sent to BoxB and then has to talk to BoxA for processing (since
    this is the primary CMS server in charge).  The communication between the
    two machines is causing a significant lag time.
      Please advise on the best way to setup the server and the content switch
    to alleviate this issue.

    Hi Ray,
    can you please check the priority order of the NICs on both your clusters?
    My Network Places->Properties->Advanced->Advanced Settings
    Make sure that the NICs which the network traffic of the BOBJ cluster passes through get the highest priority. In your case choose one subnet you want to get your trafic through and set the highest priority for the NICs that connecte to the choosen subnet on both nodes.
    If you have to change the order of the NICs then please restart the BO services on both nodes if possible.

  • Poor Response from hp support team

    I bought following product in August 2011 from Lahore, Pakisan:
    Hp g6-1008tu 
    Model # LQ439PA
    [serial number removed for privacy]
     Since then i am having problem with laptop. Once HDD crashed which i got replaced. Then touch pad malfunctioned. I got it replaced as well. Now again after few months touch pad is causing severe problem. I fail to understand how a product can malfunction in such a short duration. The product is in waranty so its ok to get serviced but what will i do after waranty finishes? For a student its a big problem. I request you to please guide me and tell definitive solution for this. I will be grateful to you.
    No one is helping me properly and the only thing now coming in mind is that neither I nor should i recommend anyone to buy hp product. This came just because  of poor response from hp.
    Regards,

    what can i do to get this issue solved???

  • Jerky mouse, poor responses after installing OS 10.5.7

    I installed OS 10.5.7 on my 20" iMac dual core Intel (3Gb RAM) about three weeks ago. Since then, I've noticed that the computer does many things poorly: Jerky mouse behavior, especially in Photoshop CS3 (but to a lesser extent in other programs), very slow to display the I/O directories when downloading an image from a reputable Web page (Stock.Xchng, MorgueFile, others), slow to open Applications Manager and other apps.
    The worst offender is the Photoshop Jerky Mouse, which makes it almost impossible to do anything in PS. I have a hardwired MightyMouse, and it's brand new as of last week, but the same thing happened with the old mouse. This behavior seems to be the very worst after I've been downloading files from the Internet (almost always with Safari, but once in a while with Firefox). Sometimes, I purge the browser cache, and even dump the cookies, trying to figure out what might be lurking in the browser that affects PS.
    Also, I have a second monitor, an Environ 19", which doesn't seem to produce any of it's own problems.
    I have run the Disk Utilities a lot and turned off the iMac for long stretches (hours, overnight, and also 10 minutes here and there). Things seem to go fine when I start, but if I have any internet work, especially that involves downloading, I start to get the slow screen draws and the almost inevitable Photoshop Jerky Mouse behavior. (I've also tossed the PS Prefs.)
    So: Is 10.5.7 dodgy? Is it a poor match for the Adobe Creative Suite 3 apps and for IDCS4 (a separate purchase from the full CS3 group)?
    Thank you.

    I too am having similar problems. It occurs in the finder, in Illustrator, Photoshop, Safari, Mail, everywhere. Sometimes the mouse simply will not click, even after repeated tries. Trying to post this message I had to click several times on the link before it worked. Usually if I hold it down for several seconds it will register a click. It is particularly aggravating to click and drag on the desktop to select and move files only to have the selection be completely different than intended. This same issue in Illustrator is infuriating.
    Yes, I have tried several different USB mice.
    Yes, I have checked batteries (in the mice that need them).
    Yes, I have updated to the latest software.
    I do have a Wacom Intuos 2 Tablet and have had different issues with it. I have tried 6.1.1-2, 6.1.0-7 and 6.08-2. It doesn't matter which one I load, or if I remove them completely and reboot, the problems with my primary mouse remain. And, on top of that, the mouse for the Intuos 2 will just simply drop my left click after a random amount of time. In Illustrator I was trying to align a point to another and after getting it close it would simply drop the point. I tested this by looking at the light on the tablet, it turns green when clicked and orange when not. It was always green, not even a flicker of orange. I also tested this in the finder by resizing the bottom right of a window. While staring at the light on the tablet to be sure it was staying solid green, the finder just drops the click and stops resizing the window.
    I remember back in the earlier Mac days and even Windows (what little experience I have with that) clicking a dozen or more times while the computer was too busy to process the request that the clicks all registered perfectly in space and were held in a cue until the processor could catch up. My point being that the clicks were precisely where you intended even though they had been cached and buffered. It seems that there is no longer any buffer cue for clicks. Precision has suffered.
    I was experiencing similar effects under 10.5.7 but to a lesser degree. I just assumed that my mouse was going bad. But after upgrading to 10.5.8 and testing with several mice, it is clear that there is something wrong under the hood.

  • Xperia z1, too many problems and poor response from sony.

    I thought Xperia z1 is best has sony made ever in every department but it's not. I'm very disappointed with sony's neglected response. I contacted sony 2 times but there is no response. also in support forum can't to get response sometimes. I agree with it is a best camera, yep in day light it's a best but in low light it's worse. z1 can't beat even Xperia c mid range phone. then why sony called z1 is a flagship. on white paper everything is good but practicaly it's not. I don't know what is the in z1 series. it freezes and screen getting black after that even restart button also didn't work sometimes,, 2) network issue 3) lowlight photography is worse compare to other high end smartphones.
    performance is good but need new software update for optimisation.. I was very happy when I bought but now I'm dossapointed with sony neglect response. battery drains very fast also.

    I suggest you contact sony:

  • IOS 7 upgrade causes poor responsiveness

    After upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 it's extremely slow and lacks responsiveness to the point I don't particularly like using it.
    I'm being told I cannot move back to iOS 6 so my question is: Is there any solution for this problem other than just basically buying a new phone?
    I thought it was safe to upgrade to iOS 7 but now I'm stuck with a limited product. Perhaps my assumption of upgrading this model to iOS 7 was wrong.

  • Poor response to Power-On button

    In the last two weeks, the response to pressing the Power-On button have been inconsistent.
    Frequently, when I depress the button, there is a single click sound, but the small light just above the power button doesn't illuminate, and about two seconds after I release the button, there is a second click. Nothing else seems to occur.
    If I hold the button depressed, nothing seems to occur, and there is a second click heard some time after I release the button.
    After perhaps going through this routine three times, the (correct?) response occurs: There is a click and the light illuminates as soon as I depress the button, I release the button promptly, and the computer goes through a standard-appearing start-up.
    Today, I had to try about seven times before getting a start-up response.
    Is this something I should be concerned about?
    Best regards (and thank you in advance), Isshi.

    Some anecdotes about USB devices that draw too much power come to mind. As an experiemnt, try disconnecting as many USB devices as possible, and try to start up. If the results are different, you may have to change what is plugged in the back (with a 1500 milliamp budget) and the front (with a 1000 milliamp budget) or look into getting a powered Hub or using a Hub in a display. Don't even think about the ports on the keyboard -- they have NO extra power available.

  • Apple Keyboard - one key has poor response

    Hi,
    Over the last few days the CD tray key on my Apple keyboard has become less responsive. It still works, but you have to press it down very hard to make the CD tray open. I have removed the key and cleaned it but there is no change to the response.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    This is caused by the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Update. They implemented a short delay so that you don't eject the CD accidentally.
    I was also wondering why the CTRL-Eject command isn't working anymore. You just have to press the key a bit longer.

  • Poor Response Time- Total on a column for n number of rows

    I have a table with column cost on my custom OAF page.
    When I query for configuration it returns me many rows. so I have set the default rows for table = 10 and then I neatly have next button to go to other rows.
    I have enabled totalling on cost column.
    Row for Total appears showing sum for the costs only on that page( for only 10 rows). I click for next from drop down , and I see total for the costs for the second page.
    Ex:
    table has 17 rows and
    page 1 :
    total row at the end saying 1000.00
    page 2 :
    total = 1500.00
    I want to display Total Cost by summing up the costs for say 300 items returned by the query on all the pages , in above case 2500.00.
    I thought of a way to do it ;
    I added a sumVO with query "select sum(...) from table" .
    Added a new region in my page , added a messageStyleText based on the sumVO, and pulled the total cost in.
    It shows me the right result, but my problem is performance.
    It is getting very slow. I am using the same query as for displaying the results in table, but summing on cost column.
    Can I avoid writing the sum query and do it programmatically in OAF ??
    Thanks in advance.

    Even if you use programmatic approach, what do you think program will do?
    Program has to fetch all the rows in the middle tier and sum it up using for loop. No way its going to solve your problem.
    First find out the reason for the slow performance using Trace option. and fix the query.
    If your not able to fix it, try materialized view for the summation query.

  • Poor PXI IO performanc​e on Latitude E6410 with ExpressCar​d 8360

    Hello,
    I have a Dell Latitude E6410 with a Core-i5 M520 which is giving me very poor io performance when using an ExpressCard 8360 card to connect to a PXI Rack.
    The sustained IO rate that I can get appears to be about 1/3 of that that I can get using the same ExpressCard on a Dell Latitude E6400 (with a Core2Duo processor).
    I am using the A05 bios (latest at time of writing) on the E6410.
    Wade.

    I am running Windows XP (32 bit) sp3 in both cases.
    The E6410 has 4GByte of memory fitted.
    The E6400 has 2GByte of memory fitted.
    I have also use the same ExpressCard 8360 via a PXIe to ExpressCard Adaptor in a Desktop machine with similar performance figures to the E6400 - i.e. much better than the E6410.
    The Desktop Machine is an HP Compaq D7900 with 4GByte of memory, Core2Duo E8500 also running Windows XP sp3 (32 bit).
    Also, on the Desktop, I am running NI PXI Platform Services 2.3.2 and NI-Visa runtime version 4.3.
    On the E6410, I am running NI PXI Platform Services 2.5.2 and NI-Visa runtime version 4.6.
    I no longer have access to the E6400 so I am not sure what sofware versions were installed. However, they are unlikely to be new than the versions installed on the E6410.

  • How can I access a response file on the same computer but with different login?

    When trying to access a response file on the same computer that was used to set it up, but with a different login, I get an error message that the network resource was not found. How can I retrieve the responses on the same computer but under a different login/username?

    The response file is associated with a specific login (as determined under Edit > Preferences > Identity) so you cannot retrieve it if you're using a different login.

  • Xml response in browser .. how to deal with

    OK .. I have a basic question here but I'm long winded so bear with me.
    Background:
    I am submitting an HTML form to a secure website, with a username/password, and that web site in turn returns me a webpage with XML in it that looks something like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">http://blahblah.blah.com/index.aspx?ticket=fabcdefjkjlkjlkja;lkh31bba5f7</string>
    the webpage is https, it's secured.
    I can submit the my form (not included in this post because it's not a problem) and get the XML back in the browser - but how, in my JSP or servlet (either / or) .. what is the API to retrieve the XML response (above) from the browser .......... I can manage to parse it once I can get it.
    I've done some research. but the more I do the more I get confused.
    Is it just something like request.getParameter(something or other) once the form is submitted?
    Do I need to use SAX/JAX, or DOM, XMLHTTP, javascript, HTTPClient, Xerces, Xalan ... sooooooooooo confused. ..... to actually retrieve that page into something I can work with in Java?
    Like I said once I get the page in a variable, somehow, I'm sure I can figure out how to parse the "string" variable out ................ the objective there then is to redirect the user to that URL
    I'm really lost ........... help!!!!!!!
    Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi. Thanks for your thoughtful answers.
    My actual problem is much more basic. I know where to put business logic, I know how to parse XML.
    It's not either of those that is the problem.
    Here is my scenario:
    I am auto submitting a form in a servlet. (this works fine). It's an authenticated POST to an external web site.
    The submission of this form creates a browser response -- a WEB PAGE (*https*!!!!) with information I need in it (that the user shouldn't actually see). It happens to be XML. But even if it was a chapter of a book, my question is ... after the form is submitted (no problem), and the browser shows the webpage (no problem), how, in java or javascript, do I
    get the contents of that https:// webpage. (that's my problem!!)
    Does this kind of clarify my question? I'm kind of looking for more specific answers than what technology to use. Should this XML be part of the response from the POST?
    When I try to create an xml source, I get the following:
    Exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
    Maybe this willhelp you. We were given the ASP code to do this.
    the way that it goes about this is
    {color:#ff0000}Set objRequest = Server.createObject("MSXML2.SERVERXMLHTTP"){color}
    objectRequest.open="POST", "https://blahlblahblah", False
    objectRequest.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    objectRequest.Send (blah blah blah ..... the parameters
    ' my comment: AT THIS POINT THIS IS LIKE SUBMITTING THE FORM, no? Except for the red part
    'then they get the contents by this:
    dim GetTheContents
    GetTheContents = objectRequest.responseText
    Then they proceed to parse it in a very ugly fashion, but I will use DOM or the like. but at least the variable "GetTHeContents" has the contents of the https webpage that was returned by the external site after submitting the form.
    Thanks again. I hope I helped clarify instead of created more confusion.
    PS I am trying AJAX now. I still can't manage to put the contents of the webpage into some kind of variable (or get it from some other kind of variable). This is my first round with Ajax.
