Support Questions / Adding Counter and Float to SLC/MicroLogix
« on: April 02, 2013, 08:29:12 AM »
First...wow! Thank you so much for an amazing software. The format makes it not only easy to design an HMI, but also easy to learn more about the underlying technologies.
The specific application I am requesting support on is my first attempt at AdvancedHMI, a display for some simple production metrics. I am connecting to a Micrologix1500 via NET-ENI card. I start by adding some average cycle times for 4 stations (floats...FX:Y). Then I attempt to add cycle counters (CX:Y.ACC (where X and Y of the counter are not necessarily equal to X and Y of the float)) to display the number of cycles upon which the average is based.
The cycle times (using either DigitalPanelMeter or Gauge) work fine until I add the counter (DigitalPanelMeter). Then when I Run the program, only the counters will update. Any advice? Thank you.
