Issue This document shows how to integrate Aquis into ClearSCADA. With this integration, an operator would have access to the monitoring information coming from SCADA as well as simulation information coming from the hydraulic model. This will allow him to analyze the behavior of his network and forecast the impact of the operational activities. The EcoStruxue Web Services data connection is used to facilitate data exchange between Aquis and ClearSCADA. The operator will be able to access the Aquis model directly on ViewX. This document also provides the necessary guidelines to prepare your PC for the Water Network Management demo. Resolution See attached document.

Issue Sometimes we need to do modifications and new development in an application offline, but we can't stop the controller when it's time to download the changes. Resolution With Modicon M580 redundant is possible implement offline modifications without stop the application using the HSBY_BUILD_OFFLINE library.

Issue When creating a CAT using multiple animated symbols or SubCats and using an instance of that CAT in a canvas, the parameters of the built-in objects are not displayed and cannot be modified. Resolution The aim of the document is to explain how to display the properties of embedded objects (animated symbols or SubCATs) in order to be able to modify them in the instance of the CAT.

Objective In this article, we will learn how to connect EAE HMI to a local SQL Database. The Database here emulates one that contains Recipes that are managed by an imaginary ERP system. We will learn C# Codes that leverages on existing .NET components to retrieve data from a Table which is then shown on the HMI.

Issue In a multi-core system such as Modicon M660, performance issues such as uneven CPU load distribution, jitter in cyclic tasks or unexpected task interference may occur when all tasks are executed on the same CPU core by default. Resolution To improve task scheduling, optimize performance and reduce interference, EcoStruxure Automation Expert Motion allows assigning task group to specific CPU core.

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.

Objective This article will bring us through the installation of EcoStruxure Clean-In-Place Advisor (ECIPA) on a fresh system. It also includes a final section on generating a request file that is to be sent to Schneider IIoT in order to acquire a proper license.

Issue How to work with a TÜV Rheinland certified controller, Modicon M580 Safety ePAC, within the EcoStruxure Process Expert? Resolution The EcoStruxure™ Process Expert supports users to create, configure, program, and deploy process and safety applications to the Modicon M580 Safety controller. The Modicon M580 Safety controller is added as part of the EcoStruxure™ Process Expert system architecture, providing seamless transparency connections into the system network. The EcoStruxure™ Process Expert handles the process logic part for M580 Safety controllers, while the safety related part will be handled by the control participant, ensuring safety functions and process control are separated and independent within a common engineering environment. Attached document will show how this is possible.

Issue To encrypt data exchanged between M262 Client and MQTT broker, a certificate is required. Without a valid certificate the communication between the two communicating parties is not secured. Resolution To create a valid certificate OpenSSL is used. OpenSSL is a widely-used open-source software library that provides cryptographic functions and protocols. It is designed to provide a toolkit for secure communication over computer networks and to implement encryption, decryption, digital signatures, and other cryptographic operations.

Issue I want to use Transitions and Branches in an EcoStruxure Automation Expert sequence. Resolution This knowledgebase article describes how to use the sequence library transition and branching function blocks to create a managed sequence. It describes how they work and interact to create sequences that can be controlled by jumping to specific steps, rather than simply stepping through using the inbuilt monitoring timers. Although EcoStruxure Automation Expert V23.0 will bring the new Procedural Library, this will only be a front-end to enable users to more easily create sequences that will be built using these sequence library function blocks. Understanding how they work will still be important for troubleshooting.
