using logos groups

Hi all,

I've stumbled over a problem using different Logos groups for the access of a fieldpoint system with the DSC engine.

What I want to do:

I've got a fieldpoint system doing some controlling and logging. Most of the data should be logged to a database. For the logging to a database a LV DSC 7.0 Run Time System is running on a PC.

Some of the data isn't time critical at all, so it just needs to be logged once a second or even less, while there's some data I'd like to log twice or four times a second. So I saw the possibility to define groups for the logos access and tried it...

What I got:

First I added a logos group and then I browsed for a tag, but it wasn't added. Even adding the URL by hand didn't work.p>

After that I changed the timing of the original Logos group. That worked fine so far and like a mircale I was able to add another Logos group after that and add tags to that group. The handling is a bit weired, though.

Later I did want to add another tag to this new group. This worked, but the drop down list of the tags belonging to that group already was empty. Well, I just added the new tag and it worked...

Just for fun I looked at an older tag (which had disappeared from the dropdown list) and when opening it, the tag editor showed the changed sign and as the URL for the connection was missing the tag didn't work any longer after saving the .SCF.



Is there an update to LV DSC 7.0 Run Time System which corrects this behaviour? I haven't tried it with the Dev.System though and I don't want to. Currently I don't have a fieldpoint system at hand just to "play a bit".

Thanks,
Carsten

Hi Carsten,

I tried to reproduce this issue with both Dev. and Run-time system, but I couldn't observe the behavior you mentioned. Could you give more information about the process. Are you publishing data from FP controller? The tags you selected are all published data?

Hi,

a YES to both questions. All tags are currently created by PublishData. We want to change that in the near future , though.

I'll try another test if I've time in the next few days trying to write down my working steps in more detail.

Cheers,
Carsten
