Genie/Super Genie/Popup Associations

[integrator98]

Hello,

I am new to AVEVA Plant Scada and am trying to figure out how to build a partial association that sends a string to a global popup that will eventually be used for all pieces of equipment that are the same equipment type.  I have followed many tutorials to try and create this association that comes from a genie to a super genie or popup, but all have failed with the #ASC error when trying to display the string in a text box.  Currently, my computer is setup as just the development workstation with no externally connected components and is running AVEVA Plant Scada Studio 2023 R2.

I have had success opening a super genie and a popup page using the following lines of code in the "up" functions within the "input" tab of the genie:

NOTE: The community will not let me post the associations functions' names so read A.s.s. without the periods.

Cicode 1:

A.s.s.(-2, "TagName", "String being sent", 0);

WinNewAt("PopUpName",100,100,1+8+512);

Cicode 2:

A.s.s.PopUp("SuperGenieName", "String being sent");

After executing this genie with these lines of Cicode, the popup comes up and shows the #ASC error in the text field for where the association is being called.  The code I have used under the Appearance > Display > String Cicode box in the test display of the super genie/popup is shown below.  Each one corresponding to the code snippets shown above for how the popup was called.

Cicode 1:

?TagName?

Cicode 2:

?1?

I also remembered to attach the super genie to the genie before pasting the genie onto the home page.  I am sure there is something simple I am missing here, so if there is anymore information needed please let me know and I will try to be quick to respond with it.  If you know a comprehensive step by step tutorial for this as well that goes deeper than the steps I have provided from what I have learned along the way I would much appreciate seeing that as well.  I am currently going off of AVEVA's 2018 Module 10 Popup Pages tutorial.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi @integrator98,

Apologies for the delay in responding to your post. I must admit, Super Genies are not in my strong suit. I usually rely on previous examples or documentation when I need to implement Super Genies in a project.

It would also be easiest to debug this live with you, so could I suggest engaging an AVEVA Support Engineer?

Some other resources that could help...

Super Genie documentation:

https://docs.aveva.com/bundle/plant-scada/page/1172236.html

This YT video walks through Genie and Super Genie example for a simple pump:

You might also look at the Example project (Utilities page?) but I think it isn't activelyy used anymore, but you might see some genie and super genies still defined.

Hope this information helps.

Kind regards

Olivier
