Support Questions / How many instances of the comm driver have to be installed?

« on: February 07, 2017, 06:27:48 PM »

I am building a multi-form project. On the forms I have controls that are part of my PLC program. I have placed a comm driver on each form. Is that correct or do I just need the comm driver on the main form?

TIA

Support Questions / Can't get Quick Start Panel Meter to run in AHMI

« on: February 04, 2017, 02:41:10 AM »

Hey all,
Back again with problems. My setup:

• WIN 7 PRO 64 Bit
• VB VS 2015
• RSLogix 500
• AB MICROLOGIX 1000 32 PT
• RSLinx

I have had this problem before but can't remember how Archie solved it.
After I have downloaded to PLC, run the Quick Start, I get no errors in AHNI, but I also do not get the meter to indicate the accumulater value.
Yet when I toggle the bit in Logix it increments in the ladder but not in AHMI.
I have tried it with Linx loaded and also with it shut down. No go.
I have attached screen shots of the properties, ladder and Linx files as well as the properties for the
SerialDF1forSLCMicroCom1.
HELP!!
TIA

What did or am I missing?

Support Questions / Need help: AB ML1000 terminal wiring and connecting to AHMI & RSLOGIX500

« on: January 13, 2017, 07:14:15 PM »

Hi all. I am going nuts trying to connect my ML 1000 32pt to AHMI, RSLogix. It connects with RSLinx and the output led comes on but not the input led.
I'm sure it is how I have or haven't wired the terminals correctly.

I am attaching the AB schematic for it with notes and am desperately seeking a kind soul to pencil in the required wiring to the inputs so that when I run a prog. in RSLogix or AHMI the INPUT LEDs will come on.

I have no external switches, I just want to control ML from AHMI & RSLogix.

The schematic has me completely baffled....

My first born to he/she/they that tells mshows me what I'm doing wrong.

Many,many thanks:
