Hi phildunlap,

I use a simple USB A male to B male cable to connect my Arduino and unfortunately I am not capable of building 485 type of connection.

Any type of timing settings (even above 10 s) resulted in aborted polls in Mango, while as strict polling as 500 ms or 1 s in ScadaBR or RapidSCADA or any other Modbus Master (downloaded some applications acting as Modbus Master) do not act like Mango with the same settings. Therefore, I do not know what type of timing override I might employ to make it work.

Meanwhile, you could type kW*h into the unit field. It is then displayed as kW·h. I use it all the time in the integral field since it is more useful than the default kW·s.

However, if Mango considers kW/h to be an alias for kWh, that should definitely be corrected, as it could cause undetected incorrect numerical conversion issues. In fact, just today I was thinking of writing a function that used kW/s, so the possibility that someone may use kW/h is not out of the question.

I tried multiple times.

At this time having squid running is not important, and I don't want to change anything manually, since that might be overridden by updates and so on.

I mainly brought it forward in case y'all are interested in looking into it. I can help test out any patches you may make.

Searching around it's known that squid can break program updates, so I don't expect you guys to cater to that.

I'll drop this issue as, as mentioned earlier, it's not important to us.

Also I believe the behavior you're describing is a bug on our part. I will submit an issue. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! Created: https://github.com/infiniteautomation/ma-core-public/issues/600

Hi sjobbe,

These functions are implemented in apache-poi, and it looks like by version 3.10-FINAL (the one we package with Mango at the moment) these are not implemented.

The good news for you, however, is that that function is implemented in the current stable version, 3.13! I will make an issue for us to consider packaging that version of the apache poi library into the next Mango release, but in the meantime you can download version 3.13 from https://poi.apache.org/ and swap the Mango/lib/poi-3.10-FINAL.jar and two poi-ooxml jar files with the versions in the poi 3.13 release (such that you only have jars for one version in your lib folder). Hope this helps!

You may also want to check the 'save realtime data' is enabled or not on the data source. It is offered an an option to help with the differing logging between the publisher and the receiver and maximizing efficiency in certain sync'ing situations. I'm guessing you want it enabled.

@phildunlap I first tried the JSON Import/Export method as that is what I am familiar with using to make similar changes, but for this it just wasn't sticking.

@JoelHaggar Thanks for the step by step instructions, it was extremely helpful as I don't have much experience with SQL queries. It worked like a charm, just had to add a device name filter to the update query as I didn't want to move all datapoints.

In general doing direct database actions like this are not a good idea. If you were to do direct database inserts you would at least need to reboot Mango after to get all the changes loaded into Memory.

The right way to do this is through our RESTful API. The feature isn't available right now but this is something we could add for you in the near future. You can contact us at support@infiniteautomation.com for more details.

Thanks Terry, I'm tracking the issue and hoping it can be done sooner.

Ah yes, same bug. I'll make a note of that and re-open it while closing #489.

Pedro,

Mango will discard values that have a timestamp larger than the 'Discard point values future dated more than' setting. I am not aware of any problems with storing/using future dated points but I haven't used that feature much.

There are a couple setting that might help. Are you able to read this register as well? If not you might need to set the data point to be a write only rather than read and write.

The other thing is on the data source setting try setting the Max Write Register count to 1. With modbus you can do a single write command or multiple write command. Mango will try and be as efficient as possible and some devices don't support the full modbus specification.

Let me know if either of these help.

If I in current version to remove report module and reinstall report module .will it be work normail?

It is very stranger. I reset my computer and it is normal again.

Hey guys, sorry I never saw this... I took a bit of a hiatus.

Yes you can do this with the ASCII file data source. Simply point the datasource at the file, configure a data point as follows:

Point Identifier:
Point Identifier Index: 2
Value Index: 1
Value Regex: (0|1)()

So the trick here is to leave the point identifier totally empty and then capture an empty group at some point in our regex.

I just did a little test on this and it looks like you can only have one slaveID per port. There may also be a bug that prevents ports other than 502 being used. We'll look into that a bit more and get back to you.
