...Occasionally, making modifications to the tags in a ControlLogix/CompactLogix PLC will result in the AVEVA ABCIP OI Server having one topic that is not showing the correct information. It may appear to be good data but it is reading the wrong tag data or the tag data may have bad quality.
If you encounter this issue, you may be able to resolve it by downloading a new copy of the tag database from the PLC to the OI Server. Toggling the $Sys$UpdateTagInfo item to “true” forces an update of the entire controller tag database.
This tech note provides two methods than can...
AVEVA Licenses require license activation, a process whereby the authenticity of the license is verified against license records via the AVEVA License Activation Server and the license is bound to the license server from which the activation was initiated.
License activation requires communication over the Internet with the AVEVA License Activation Server. That communication can be either direct over the Internet (Online Activation) or indirect through a proxy computer (Offline Activation).
This Tech Note describes the process of activating an AVEVA license using OFFLINE activation.
