Key

Value

Type

Description

Default

Win32/64

WinCE

General

MaxAppInstances

DWORD

Maximum number of application instances which can be executed at the same time.

0 = no instances will be started up.

 

100

General

ILSleep

DWORD

Time in milliseconds between the execution of one group of instructions and the next.  The group of instructions' size is set  with  "MaxILInstruction" parameter.

 

Note:

In cases where the number of instructions in an object's  Il logic is lower than this value, the sleep time set will still be respected.

Win32/64:

10

 

WinCE:

50

General

MaxILInstruction

DWORD

The number of instructions processed before sleep time goes into action, equal to the value set in the "ILSleep" parameter.

100

General

ILLogicPriority

DWORD

Priority of the thread which processes the project's IL logic.  This parameter has no influence on the priority with which the IL logic contained in the screen or  object is processed.  This value can be set from 0 to 255, where 0 is given to the project's IL logic with the highest priority over the rest.  

 

Note:

WinCE is a multithreading and determinstic operating system, therefore when too many high priorty project IL logic will block all the other O.S. threads which have lower priorties.

Win32/64:

0

 

WinCE.

255

General

TimerEventFrequence

DWORD

VBA design "OnTimer" event execution frequency.  The value entered corresponds to the number of times which the procedure must be executed a second.  

 

Note:

Values 1 to 10 are allowed.

2

General

InstallComponents

DWORD

Enables the installation and registration of the ADOCE and SQL Server CE optional components at the application startup.

 

0 = the ADOCE and SQL Server CE components are installed and registered only when the project being run needs them.  

1= the ADOCE and SQL Server CE components are installed and registered at the application startup with any project.

0

General

DisablePublicSymOnDesign

DWORD

 

This value allows you to decide whether Public Symbol updates should be done in project design time or runtime:

 

0 = updates Public symbols in design mode

1 = updates Public symbols in runtime

General

PdfPrinter

SZ

This value allows you to set the name of the PDF printer to be used for default by the Movicon Embedded Report commands.

Movicon PDF Writer

-

General

PdfViewer

SZ

This value is used for setting the executable name which must be used for displaying Movicon Embedded Report  pdf files.  This registry key is only valid for the Windows CE platform.

\\Windows\\wt6explr.exe /d wt6pdf*.dfr

-

General

MaxLoginFailed

 

DWORD

This is used to set maximum number of failded Login attempts after which the "Reached maximum attemps (#)...."  message will be delayed.  Setting this to '0' will disable the control.

 

3

 

 

General

ADOCEExtendedOptions

 

String

Permits extended parameters to be specified inherent to the recording management of the  database engine used.

 

An example of a settable value: "SSCE:Max Database Size=256" used for setting the maximum size of the database in the CE device (for  SQL CE).

 

-

General

DynObjPumpIteration

DWORD

Movicon buffers messages to update the displayed screen values or symbol and object animations to notify the variations from field variables associated to them.  These notifications can be slowed down to make pop-ups more  reactive by changing the key value to a value > 50 (50 for default).  In this case, the time set in the  screen's "Fast Timer Tick Animation"   property must also be taken into consideration.

 

NB: the key's value has no influence on the Login Window management that already briefly interrupts notifications to objects.

 

Incompatible with 11.4.1154 and previous  versions.

 

50

General

ScreenNavigationButtonfont

String

This value is used to set one of the Font types installed in the Operating System for the Screen Navigation resource's Buttons' text.

General

OPCUABrowseMaxOperation

DWORD

Reading tags from a OPC UA Server the  Movicon OPC UA Client browser is based on the "MaxNodesPerRead" and "MaxMonitoredItemPerCall" (e.g. present in the "Server - ServerCapabilities - OperationLimits" propoperty exposed by the  OPC UA  Server in question) parameters to set the  "MaxOperationPerServiceCall" parameter correctly in order to request the right number of Operations in Read from the OPC UA Server in cases where the Server has a limit in the number of read operations allowed.  

If the  OPC UA Server limits the number of read operations but does not expose the corresponding paratemer in the address space, the  "OPCUABrowseMaxOperation" key can be used to set a custom 'empirical' limit.

Values can be within the in the range of  '1-65536'. '0' values or those greater than  '65536' are reset by the SDK to  '65536' by default..

While Browsing the OPC UA tags, an attempt is first made to read the  "OperationLimits" properties from the Server's Capabilities, if not exposed, the value set in the  "OPCUABrowseMaxOperation" key is used.

 65536

 

General

RedundancyMaxMessageSize

DWORD

Synchronizing applications configured in Redundancy will update the variables and alarms between the two Servers by sending packets of up to 10240 bytes of XML messages.  The value can be changed using this registry key which has 10240 message bytes for default.

10240

 

General

EmbRepColorMode

DWORD32

In cases where you need to set the printer with the default "color_mode" to avoid having to set it manually from the printer’s configuration interface or to avoid generating any "Wrong color mode" errors, you can add the “EmbRepColorMode” value (which is 2 per default) by setting the possible values to:

 

0 - Monochrome (B&W)

1 - 4 Color CMYK

When enabled, the OPC UA Client low level activity of the stack OPC UA, will be recorded in the file "uaclient.log", into the LOGS folder of the project.

Additional logs, regarding data received from the server, will be logged in the Project Log Tab ‘OPC UA Client’ and Log file "OPC UA Client.log" in the LOGS project folder.
