Kepware: Is there a way to disable the OPC UA client browsing option in Kepware or restrict the view to only configured channels or tags? Is it possible to disable the browsing feature in Kepware so that OPC UA Client users cannot navigate to other data? We would like to share the Node ID details with the customer.

I am adding this in case anyone else is looking for similar functionality. I wanted the checkbox to be invisible since I have it placed on a custom image. After customizing the styling and setting the styles to be 'no color', I was still seeing the focus outline. This focus outline would disappear after clicking the checkbox but I needed it to be gone always. I was able to get an invisible yet functional checkbox with this custom CSS:.widget-checkbox label:before {border: none}

Hi,  I am looking to transform data points from some of our older FANUC system R-30iA and R-J3iB welding robots, Arctool software version 6.22 to 7.70  we purchased the HMI Device SNPX option, (FOCAS is CNC only and not available for robots) which provides a simulated GE plc communication protocol. My goal is to provide OPC-UA tags to Machine Metrics monitoring platform         I am still using the trial version of KEPware Server EX. using the GE OPEN driver for connectivity.  Seems to be connected, but it does not appear to be pulling in the SNPX_ASG variables. My question is before I purchase the GE Suite license, is this the correct driver and software to use?      Here is a snip from the variables that I would like to read into KEPWare; ##.120.##.##/MD/SYSTEM.VA[*SYSTEM*]$SNPX_ASG Storage: CMOS Access: RW : ARRAY[80] OF SNPX_ASG_TField: $SNPX_ASG[1].$ADDRESS Access: RW: SHORT = 1Field: $SNPX_ASG[1].$SIZE Access: RW

Hello,   I am looking for Thingworx 9.7 Helpcenter, Can anyone please share the link or guide pdf?   Thanks

Thingworx should provide more chart options OOTB, such as  1. Heat Map chart 2. Sankey diagram (chart) etc.  

We have a requirement to extract the part structure from a PVZ file. While we are currently able to display it using the ThingView widget, the goal is to extract the part structure from the PVZ file and present it in a tree grid. Additionally, upon selecting a part in the grid, the corresponding part should be highlighted in the 3D view.   I would like to understand: Is this functionality achievable in ThingWorx? Is there a way to read the PVZ file and extract its structure? Can this be accomplished using any existing extensions or OOTB (Out-Of-The-Box) functions, or will we need to develop custom extensions?   Appreciate your inputs and suggestions!

I recently installed and configured ThingWorx RTPPM, and while setting up the Operations Dashboards, I encountered an issue where only Availability is being calculated. The OEE, Performance, and Quality metrics are not being calculated and are displaying 0, even though other aspects of RTPPM seem to be functioning correctly.Has anyone faced a similar issue or have any suggestions on troubleshooting this? Any guidance on what to check next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am having a Datalogger configured in Thingworx Kepware Server.Already, Log Items are configured there. Now, I would like to add New Log Item but both the options i.e 'New Log Item' and 'New Log Items' are showing disabled (unable to add).Checked License Utility. It is good.

I have configured RTPPM, the downtime status and production and waste counter are the remote properties which is expected from Kepware.   Can we keep those properties as "Binding: None" and update values from service? How frequently the downtime status and part count (total production, waste count) updated in operator dashboard?   PM @mstarnaud 

As the title states, the state formatting is not working for this widget. I am using the exact same state formatting that I am successfully using for a gauge widget. Everything is set up the same way as the gauge widget as well. The gauge widget state formatting is working, but the KPI Dial Widget is acting as if no formatting is there. This is Thingworx 9.6. I also ensured these steps were all correct.https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9.6/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Mashup_Builder/Widgets/DialWidgetThemable.html   

I am currently using the Thing Worx Cloud version and need guidance on how to migrate or switch to the on-premises version hosted on AWS Server with Remote database configuration. . Could you please provide:1. The necessary steps or documentation for this migration?2. Any prerequisites or system requirements for the on-premises setup?3. Information on licensing or additional configurations needed during this process?

Hello All,I am currently using AMU and have configured some alarms on the equipment, which are being triggered as expected. However, I’ve noticed an issue with the Alarm Reports. When I apply the "This Shift" or "Last Shift" filters, the alarm count shows as 0. On the other hand, when I select the "Today" filter, the alarm count is displayed correctly. Please help in understanding why the count is not appearing for the shift-based filters?Regards,Aishwarya Patil

I'm working on a project that requires the fetching of pvz from thingworx flow. I used the following actions to do so: get structure to fetch BOM, a loop to iterate on each element of the array fetched with the aformentioned action and a get content to fetch pvz. The issue is that the fetched pvz are almost empty. Is there another way to fetch pvz?Thanks in advance

Hello all. I have the following setupMES OPC DA <-> MES Kepware UA server <->  DeltaV Kepware UA server <-> DeltaV OPC DA Been getting the following messages on 1.

I installed ThingWorx 9.7 using the installer (ThingWorxFoundationPostgres-9.7.0-x64.exe).However, the uninstaller (ThingWorxFoundation_uninstall.exe) does not exist in the installation folder.Instead, there is a file named ThingWorxFoundation_uninstall.dat.This does not work in a Windows environment. I believe it might be an uninstaller for Linux.Could you please let me know how to uninstall ThingWorx 9.7

I am using ThingWorx Platform Release 9.5 and DatecodeSP5What installer should be downloaded for Thingworx Foundation for use with Oracle? I see one download specifically for ThingWorx PostgreSQL and one for ThingWorx Mssql. I do not see a general "ThingWorx Foundation" installer or one specifically for Oracle.Client wants to install Windchill and Thingworx/Navigate, utilizing the same DB engine (Oracle).

Hi there, I'm currently working with ThingWorx RTPPM and have a question about the MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) metrics. Specifically, I'm curious about how RTPPM determines what is considered "maintenance" for the MTTR calculation.The MTTR metric refers to the total maintenance time. In my case, I have RTPPM configured to track downtime only. How does RTPPM know what events or activities should be classified as maintenance? Does it differentiate between different types of downtime, or is there a specific configuration needed to ensure accurate maintenance tracking? And similar question for MTBF metric. What is consider operational time? How does RTPPM know. Additionally, I'm also interested in understanding how uptime is calculated in the RTPPM KPI Overview Report. Could someone explain the calculation method for uptime in this report? Any insights or experiences with this would be greatly appreciated! Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)M

Hi, I moved a few licenses between computers. One of the licenses appears to be "good", but anytime I use it the log indicates it is time limited... After 2 hours, the driver does indeed stop. Is there anything I can do to enable this activation if it is not in an active support contract? The other licenses moved without issue. The original computer was KepServerEX 6.9 and the new computer is 6.10. Are licenses tied to Kep versions?

I am using ThingWorx Platform Release 9.7 and DatecodeF000I was not able to find detailed information about how the properties of the provided RemoteThing Template are mapped behind the scenes, as it's not always clear for us, what e.g. the lastConnection timestamp refers to, when the reportingLastChange timestamp will be updated and so on.Can someone provide detailed information for each of the properties inside the template to ensure that we know how to rely on these properties for monitoring remote things?- isConnected (Boolean)- lastConnection (Timestamp)- isReporting (Boolean)- reportingLastChange (Timestamp)- reportingLastEvaluation (Timestamp)Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,I managed to use openstreet map to show some locations of vehicles from infotable (attached) , as you can see i use get properties to be able to use the "automatically update values when new values are available" check box, but the result is really bad, first whenever the infotable data updated the whole map refresh like it shows me a white screen then it load the map and the location as i did refresh the whole page , i wanted to only move the points on the map, also it doesn't show all the locations, sometimes all of them shown, sometime some of them, sometimes none of them, i don't know how to debug it , maybe it shows the ones that has data change, i don't know what is going on honestly, if there is a better way to refresh the data in the map widget please explain it to me,form the infotable i use the LatitudeLongitude property of type "location"  hope someone can elaborate more on how to use openstreet map better, thank you

Hi all, I have a KepwareEX V 6.15 Server connecting against several S7-1500 via OPC (OPC UA Client) now I would like to forward the SimaticAlarmsAndConditions (ns=3;i=1815) via KepWare to my alarm client. Is that possible? It seems that the needed type are not supported. Registering on that node I receive a BadMonitoredItemFilterUnsupported Error.
