I'm wondering if there is a possibility to enter a new IP address for a device that is connected using Modbus Master TCP/IP.
If I now want to change the IP address I have to change it in the configuration under MTM driver and have to load the entire project again to the raspberry.
If it simply can be done from out of the HMI it would be much easier for the operator.
Looking forward for feedback on this.

Hi Jan,
Sorry for a delay in responding to you, but this was the perfect working solution. Thank you very much for that!

With reference to the link above, what would be the approach to read the actual value of a register and to use the same "entry box" to write a new value to that same register (if it is possible at all).
I'm considering something to use a flag checking if "read value" is equal to the "entry field value" in the HMI.
But maybe I make it to complicated.
Looking forward for feedback on this.

Hi Tomas,
I just wanted to update but noticed that there is a difference in the source lists.
And my file is called rexcontrols-rex.list and does contain the source list.
I have no idea why this is a different filename, but nevertheless I thought it might be good to have this pointed out as possible situation for other users as well.
I found it, change the Type to "Enum" and you get your menu with the Enumeration options.
Sometimes you just have to look a bit further and check other things you are not familar with

Hi,
I was using in older version the Popup control on a Subsystem mask, but I cannot find that in the new "pre-release" version anymore.
I was looking for changing my "selection" list, but do not know where to do this.
.
Can you guide me where to create this now?
Thanks in advance,
Peter
Hi Tomas,
I tried your proposal, but unfortunately it did not work.
At the end I decided to simply re-image the SD card and start from scratch. Installed the most recent Rexygen test version and now, all is working fine.
Thanks for your support.
Best regards,
Peter
Hi Tomas,
This is a different Raspberry ...
I don't know what happened, but nevertheless I am sure I will be able to fix it again.
I will try your approach and update you accordingly.
Best regards,
Peter
Hi,
My RPi was not running anymore and I could not connect using Rexygen.
I tried all with admin and all passwords I ever used before, including no password at all (the default), but all without success. I was able to SSH into the Raspberry.
Based on the above item about removing or renaming the "auth.rex" file to start with a blank password, I checked the rex/rexcore folder, but noticed that this "auth.rex" file does not excist.
So does this mean I need to start from scratch to be able to login again? Removing Rexygen and freshly installing it?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Peter
Hi Mike,
I'm using the Total Hours counter with formatting to number of digits, and preset to a specific counter value.
Please find attached the subsystem used.

- As for the newest development tools for your PC, please download the installer from http://download.rexcontrols.com/rex/2.50.10-r5/windows/REXYGEN-2.50.10.12237-x64.exe
Note: the instructions assume that you are using Raspbian Buster or newest Raspberry OS. If not, please upgrade your system.
It appears that also this link is no longer there and need to be updated as well.
Hi Jiri,
Just change the url as below:
Saved the file and tried it again.
So this still does not work....
Thanks a lot Jiri!
I will give it a trial.

Hi Tomas,
I just tried to update a Raspberry to the r5 release, but get this problem:
So I cannot get to the newest release right now. I did updated a few others without problems some time back.
I will try another time again, maybe problem with server now?

I created a "ProwlPushMessage" block (SubSystem) where all properties can be set easily.
Implemented the conversion from a "space" character towards "%20" in order to get the correct code for the message.
So this system is ready to be used, only fill in your own APIkey and press the button to send a message to your iPhone.
Please find the project attached.
prowl_exec.mdl
prowl_task.mdl
This is how it looks.
With help from Tomas I succeeded to get it working. Thanks Tomas for your help!
Please find the details in the screenshots below and see how it appears on the iPhone.
Please note: you cannot use a direct"space character" and some other special characters in the CNS blocks for the "application", "event" and "description" otherwise the HPPT2 block will generate an error message.
Use an underscore "" to make it working, but you can also create a space character by using "%20" instead of ""!
The properties of the CONCAT block.
And the properties of the HTTP2 block.
And finally this is what you will get on the iPhone when you trigger the HPPT2 block.

Peter
Thanks a lot Tomas,
The OSCALL function block appears just what I needed.
Thanks for making me aware of this block.
Kind regards,
Peter
Is there a possibility to safely shutdown the Raspberry Pi from out of the HMI?
Especially when in KIOSK mode this might become handy.
Regards,
Peter
Hi Tomas,
Thanks for your feedback on this subject.
Unfortunately it still did not resolve the issue.
The description of the HTTP2 block is also a bit unclear to me.
Where is the postdata, urldata and header input information been used?
I tried several things in the parameter “url” of the HTTP2 block, with and without additional parameters after the apikey, but also and with and without the url string as posted above in front of the apikey.
Unfortunately all without succes.
I will try more and if successful I will post it here of course.
If anyone is meanwhile successful using this Prowl free push notification service for IOS, please post your approach here please.
Best regards
Peter
Hi Tomas,
Great, this works. Thanks a lot for the feedback and to get it going!
