Dear team, I have one query, want to covert binary data from the PLC or OPC 16 bit data word. Is it possible in Kepware using any Advance tag or other driver plugin?  

In Thingworx 9.6 Collection widget, what is the class for selected cell ? 

  In TWX 9.5, the x-axis is not displaying all values.  It seems to be skipping every other value.  I'd like for it to display all values.  I did not see a setting for this in the bar chart configuration.  Is there a way to display all values?

When I open KEPServer it gives me an error that says "Connection attempt to runtime failed" in the event log. Then it times out and gives me a dialog box asking if I want to work offline. The latest project was not showing. I tried to open the project, but it had not been saved. So I tried to open an older project. It opened and I tried to connect the runtime and again it failed. I checked Task Manager and the runtime is running.  I updated the license an hour ago. I got a "Success" dialog box. Does anyone know what is going on and how I overcome this problem? Thank you, Scott

I'm having problems connecting KepserverEX v6.1 to Thingworx v9.3 I can confirm that the pc that kepware is installed on can see the Thingworx server (I'm able to access composer and port query confirms port 443 is open). Thingworx’s Industrial Thing’s Base Thing Template is set to “IndustrialGateway” and the appkey is correct. I have also tried both Host name and IP of the server. This issue is effecting 2x clients both running kepserver v6.1, the reason for the low version number is that both clients were setup 5 years ago to run an Etch line and Penetrant line and we are only now wanting to connect them to Thingworx. Unfortunatly the OEM who did the initial install has gone bust so I'm unable to raise suport ticket via them

Hello All,Can we use AMU without Kepware?Customer does not want to invest in Kepware, so can we have any work around with MQTT or OPC-UA, etc. Use Case: Data will be fetched from a SCADA system and different Dashboard will be developed in Thingworx along with AMU (Asset Monitoring and Utilization).Regards,Javed Akhtar 

Hi, wondering if there is a way to pass a button click in a collection widget cell mashup to the collection widget refresh.   I have a list of items displayed in a collection widget. There is a 'delete item' button in each item's cell mashup. I'm looking for a way to pass the click event on the button back to the collection widget itself so that it can redraw itself with the new list (minus the deleted item).   Currently I manage this by having the delete button set a boolean session parameter to true. In the main mashup I have a timer running (every second) which checks the state of the boolean & if true redraws the collection widget (list). It works, but seems clunky, so would prefer a way to pass the button click in the cell back to the collection widget without having to use a timer. I did try tying a validator to the session parameter, but it didn't appear to trigger when the session boolean changed.   TIA K

Looking for a better understanding of the error we encountered in Kepware: "<DEVICE> | The following errors occurred uploading controller project from device. Resorting to symbolic protocol." We had an issue in our plant where connectivity between Kepware and several Allen-Bradley PLCs were dropping out intermittently due to a networking issue.  Approximately 3 minutes after this event started, we saw the above error message posted for all PLC's involved.  While the message states the "following errors occurred" we never saw an actual message with details.  Just the line above.   For context, all PLC's involved were originally setup with Logical Non-Blocking addressing.  Kepware changing/resorting to using Symbolic addressing appears to have overwhelmed a combination of the PLC, network and driver.  We were unable to recover until we restarted the Kepware server. We've seen Kepware make the switch to Symbolic addressing when

Does anyone know if there is a way to export the asset inventory from Kepserver?  Looking specifically for a list of the devices at a site with their name, IP and/or MAC address, and anything else we can get.  Would be interested in the API call as well if there is one.

Hello, I am trying to check the network connection with another server from thingworx , but when i try to run the telnet from command prompt it gives me following error. 'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file Thanks

When communicating with Mitsubishi PLC via Mitsubishi Ethernet from kepServer, I wonder if it is difficult to link if they are on different networks.I have already confirmed that linking is possible on the same network.----------------------------------------------------------Translated the topic from Korean to English using google translate.Body - kepServer에서 Mitsubishi Ethernet을 통해 Mitsubishi PLC와 통신할 때 다른 네트워크에 있으면 연동이 어려운지 궁금합니다.같은 네트워크에서 연동이 가능하다는 것은 이미 확인했습니다.-By Community Moderation Team.----------------------------------------------------------

In TWX 9.6 , While trying to pass value from collection to cell mashup using MashupGlobalPropertyBinding , observed in cell mashup i am not getting the value , What should I try ?

Hello Community,     I  have datatable with usercredentials stored in it and one of the field is of password type which i do hash also before saving it. Now the issue is when i import this datatable from thingworx 9.1 to 9.3 and in my code below:= i am unable to get the value from datatable it just does not appear EntryExists.row[0].loginPassword is undefined even though on old thingworx version everything is working fine.   let EntryExists = Things[userDataTable].GetDataTableEntryByKey({ key: hashedLoginName }); if(EntryExists && EntryExists.rows[0].hashedLoginName == hashedLoginName && EntryExists.rows[0].loginPassword == hashedLoginPassword){  I have changed nothing but still it just does not work because its not getting it from datatable but on other hand all the fields are showing values. Why its like that    My assumption: I think its not possible to import the userpassword which are hashed into another

I am looking for guidance on managing code for custom Thingworx mashups. Is it possible to manage these in code versioning tools such as Github?What are some guidelines on managing changes to configuration of thingworx environments?

Has anyone tried to migrate ThingWorx from Microsoft SQL server to PostGreSQL. Currently we are using ThingWorx 9.4.2 version.

Hi Everyone,I have grid widget which data is populated through a SQL service, and I want to export that data which is in the grid into an excel file , can I do that if so then please share the solution.   Thanks and Regards, Lavkush

Dear Community,    So below in attachment is my datashape of my datatable and currently i am getting all the entries in one of my service. Is there anyway that with infotable capabilities i can get entries which are created in the last 30 days. As you can see i have one of the parameter qualityCheckTimestamp which records the datetime for the entry. Now i would like to use pre existing function of infotable to get the entries created in last 30 days and if its not possible then i would have to iterate through all the entries to get the desired entries which would might be slow process. so anyone have a clue about it? Thank you 🙂   

Hi all, I have a dropdown on my Mashup that gets display data from one of my properties which have an infotable as output and Datashape of GenericStringList. It used to work fine but one day it just stops working and I can't figure out why after troubleshooting for half a day. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Below is the settings for my dropdown widget:Cheers,Deon

I'm not even exactly sure how to ask this question so if I seem ignorant that's only because I am. I assume that I'm having an issue understanding a fundamental concept of interacting with an OPC UA server.  I'm attempting to create an OPC UA client in Python to ultimately read values that originated from Modbus PLC registers. The targeted PLC is successfully connected to KepServerEX6 and values from registers are being pulled into KepServerEX Project>Channel>Device>Tags perfectly. The data (values from PLC registers) is being and has been successfully used from this KepServer by another application for several years so KepServer and connections to multiple PLCs (multiple brands) is working just fine. Python code completely aside, in a 3rd party OPC UA client application (UaExpert), I can connect to the OPC UA server, I can see a lot of things about the server/KepWare, (Root/Objects/Server, ServerCapabilities, ServerDiagnostics, etc) but the Objec
