(00:01) Hi everyone. In this video, I will show you how to integrate cloud up with FactoryTalk Optix in order to help you build the dashboards and screens. Um I have used the integration um FactoryTalk Optix and MCP cloud prepared by uh Carter Gray where you can find in this GitHub repository. And it’s it’s uh nice explained how to make the setup.
(00:44) You can also use this console to see the health of the system. And we can just try. If it is right. Here we have cloud up. And here we have our FactoryTalk Optix main window. So, let’s start. I will ask to grab the PLC tags. We are have here uh Logix Echo running with three tags, sorted sorted one sorted two. We want to grab those PLC tags and display three gauges in Optix.
(01:40) Here is the prompt. So, using the FTK X MCP integration, add to main window three circular gauges with limits 0 to 200 that show the integrity tax. I will start this. So, we will show the integrity tax. This one sortida, sortida one and sortida two. Then, add three labels with text variable value that shows the value of each stack.
(02:19) And finally, test it works. So, here load is working. Skip. [snorts] Sometimes we have to interact. Well, while this is thinking,
(03:34) I can review the contents of the GitHub repository. Well, you have to install and start, see the status, and so on. Prepare the studio And so on. Let’s take a look. Still thinking. Last time was faster. Here. Yeah. We have some response. Yeah. We can Yes. Yeah. As you can see, he’s placing. Placing the three engages. And connecting to the PLC.
(04:40) Those are the three labels. And finally, cloud will open the emulator to test it [clears throat] for us. Cloud cannot do this for us unless he gives full control. And here we have the emulator screen with the three gauges connected to the PLC. So,
(05:45) I hope you enjoy it. So, thank you very much.
