Hi everyone,
I’m using the IPESoft IDE to create a project, but I’m having trouble with tag values not updating in real-time. The values are fine when I check them manually, but in the IDE they’re showing as frozen. I’ve checked the connection and communication settings, but no luck. Any ideas on what I could be missing?
Thanks in advance!
I’d suggest you enable logging (“Line parameters” tab of communication Line configuration, set “Communication tracing” to “Screen & Disk”).
https://doc.ipesoft.com/label/D2DOCEN/komunik_linky_dlg#com_tracing
Then you can check your Trace directory and have a log at a .log file of the respective Line. What information does it contain?
Which communication protocol are you using? Btw, what are the values of your Line (True/False) and Station(s) (STON / STCOMERR / STHARDERR) ?
I always use Cnf only to configure and look at the values of Lines/Stations/ IO tags … not the HI (Human Interface).
Hi phumaj,
Thanks for your prompt response and for pointing me toward the communication tracing feature.
After enabling “Communication tracing” under the “Line parameters” tab, I reviewed the corresponding .log files in the Trace directory. The logs indicate that the communication line is active, and the station is responding without errors. However, the tag values in the IDE remain static, even though manual checks confirm that the values are updating correctly.
I’m utilizing the Modbus TCP protocol for communication. The line status is True , and the station statuses are as follows: STON is True , STCOMERR is False , and STHARDERR is False.
I also attempted to monitor the tag values using the Cnf tool, as you suggested, and observed that the values are updating correctly there. This leads me to believe that the issue might be specific to the IDE’s display or refresh mechanism.
Could there be a setting within the IDE that controls the real-time display of tag values? Alternatively, is there a known issue with the IDE’s tag monitoring feature when using Modbus TCP? Any insights or suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
HJ Bishop
So, you created a scheme in GrEditor (gr.exe), connected I/O tags e.g. to and it doesn’t display updated values when opened in Human Interface (hi.exe), right?
I suggest you look at our D2000 Workshop video where a new scheme (picture) is created and “Sec” object is connected to a Text object and displayed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP3y3U7W53w)
If you cannot find what you do wrong, I suggest having a look at your configuration remotely (Teams, AnyDesk, TeamViewer…?)
If you are interested, please write me (humaj.peter@ipesoft.com) and we can look at it together tomorrow.
ok thanks for all your help dear. 
I’ll be in touch with you if this didn’t sorted. I’ll see what I can do first.
