Issue You're targeting a palletizing application or an application where you have evenly spaced action points (e.g. drilling in material working) and don't want to teach all points separately. Resolution The Pallet application instruction offers an interface to easily teach endpoints and distributes points in between evenly, based on the instruction setup. The instruction helps setup the action points and encapsulates instructions to be performed at each waypoint.

The Harmony Edge Box HMI is configured using EcoStruxure Machine SCADA Expert that collects data using the available communication drivers (OT devices) and push data to the IT side. The Edge Box HMI is designed to meet the needs of simple machine operations that need visualization, device connectivity, data collection, cybersecurity (with EcoStruxure Secure Connect Advisor) using a cost effective solution. This article will walk through the configuration of the Harmony EDGE Box HMI and download a project using EcoStruxure Machine SCADA Expert v2020 SP2 (and later)

Background There are some industry segments (such as power) which require that when communication with RTU/PAC/PLC is broken, instead of showing the #BAD #COM or #PEND, display the last know good value instead. Resolution In this sample project, we show how to make use of Tag Extension for such matters.

Issue & Resolution Having multiple monitors for the HMI enables users to have better monitoring & control over the process. This article guides readers to configure this in their solutions. Two use cases are covered- 1. Single topology, wherein navigation to all the canvases is possible from each monitor. 2. Multiple topologies, wherein navigation is restricted to canvases within the respective topology.

Introduction This document explains the steps to add a numpad to the numeric entry in the GPL classic offer. The entry point selected for modification is the high high alarm setpoint entry in the analog input 1 ($AnalogInput1). This document is compatible for any version of EcoStruxure Process Expert platform when the user uses GPL classic offer (not GPL with Situational Awareness Library) For more detailed please refer to attached document.

Issue Cannot open a project under Project Configuration Tool following the installation of Windows Updates. Cannot start PCT project servers following installation or Windows Updates. Product Line Project Configuration Tool Environment Building Operation Project Configuration Tool (PCT) Cause Configuring Windows Updates for unsupervised installation can result in an ungraceful shutdown of Virtual Box and Project Configuration Tool There have been cases where an ungraceful shutdown of PCT or VBox has resulted in a damaged project or a damaged server within a project. Resolution All projects within the Project Configuration Tool should be shut down prior to the installation of Windows Updates.

Issue Sometimes an existing application needs to grow, and with this the application license needs to be replaced. Resolution This document explains how to replace the application license and the impacts on the Process Expert system.

Resolution This graphic adds the ability to display date and time in different formats in the EcoStruxure Automation Expert HMI. It relies solely on C# code using standard Windows functions to display the current date and time using the Windows installation language. What's more, if the multilingual dictionary is used, the date and time will be automatically displayed in the selected language.

Objective The purpose of this article is to introduce the necessary steps to calibrate a Lexium Multicarrier track with the example project embedded in EcoStruxure Machine Expert. Resolution This article has highlighted how to calibrate a Lexium Multicarrier track in EcoStruxure Machine Expert. It shows which steps must be done and guides the reader through the functionalities and provided structure of the track calibration.
