TR-D-OS aquisition parameter page - only data aquisition block is available for selection.

When trying to create a TR_D-OS in CBF, only the radio button for data aquisition block is available, everything else is greyed out. Also, when trying to insert a TR_DOS into a STRUCT in the Pool, the option of inserting a TR_D-OS is not available. I have already configured a TRN-GWY and the Trend server is connected and running........

Hello Scotsman,

Regarding Your last comment - if You don't get data on Your Trend displays check two settings, which are responsible for more then 99% of problems with Trend displays:

1) Time sync -> Check if Your process station time is set correctly and syncronized with Your Operator station time. You may do this using system variable .DateTime (remember it shows local time without taking into accont summer time changes). Also if You get a Actual value in Trend display (see the table above the trends on the display), but don't see trend in the window below, You most probably have this problem. Simply set system time using CBF/Freelance Engineering and all should be ok. If it's not it, then...

2) Connection -> If You don't see the Actual value, then You don't have a connection to Your Trend Server. Did You configured OPC tunnel for Your Trend server? If not, You should. On Your Trend server station go to Windows Start -> All Programs -> ABB Industrial IT -> Freelance -> OPC Tunnel -> Configurator. Input Freelance2000OPCServer.<GWY ID> in the top field and click ok. Restart the tray. Check the trend.

I hope one of the above will help,

Mike
