Hi everyone!
We are using X90CP154.60-S1 series safe PLC for the project. We have created 10 screens to test, monitor and tune the controllers in mappview. On ArSIM it runs properly and has no problems but on PLC it disconnects every 2 minutes and then reconnects. The refresh rate of the values is very slow and there is a delay.
Any quick response would be appreciated.
Hi,
I’m not an mappView expert at all, but I think one reason could be a high PLC load and / or the mappView software structure, especially if using some low/mid performance PLC.
So I would propose
- first to check with System Diagnostic Manager (SDM) to see some overview of the CPU load → how much is it over time, and are there peaks?
- please have a look into the hardware guidlines, section “Guidelines for selecting server hardware” → your PLC type isn’t mentioned there, I would propose to have a look into the column “CPx583”.
- please check the software guidelines for possible mappView optimizations
Best regards!
As you didn’t mention what’s this client, I supposed it’s your laptop, so we can avoid a low performance client.
I would agree with Alexander, mappView is use a quite of CPU and memory. As I never used X90CP154.60-S1 PLC, Alexander mentioned the “CPx583” and on those the mappView application and all moving around Alarms, Audit, OPC-UA may cause the PLC to be too low in resources to handle your application.
A good thing to check is how many active binding you have on the application, use the diagnostic server to check that (B&R Online Help), I already saw on one of my application where I loaded too much bindings on a client and the mappView server couldn’t handle that.
Hope that could help,
Regards,
