Support Questions / Modbus RTU test screen

« on: August 03, 2016, 09:13:05 PM »

I have built a Hmi that I use to read different modbus addresses from time to time on different PLC's
Added code to the button to read the text box and change modbus address in the corresponding PilotLight plc address along with the text label so I know what address is being read to turn on the pilot light ,

PilotLight1.PLCAddressValue = TextBox1.Text
PilotLight1.Text = PilotLight1.PLCAddressValue


my question is how can I easily add a button that would populate all my text boxes at once and increment each one by 1 or .1.      40001 , 40002, or 40001.1 , 40001.2 etc

Support Questions / Disable Subscriptions

« on: October 10, 2015, 05:27:43 PM »

Disable Subscriptions

Works the first time the screen is displayed, if you switch to another screen and then back to that screen it starts polling automatically . I see in the code that it does what its programmed to do , but really don't know how to fix it.

All my HMI;s I now add a Connect Button and a Disconnect Button the to each screen , In some cases it seems to give the screen time to load and display with fewer problems. Also Ive found that if a plc goes offline for some reason , the screen may become unresponsive and I'll have to restart the HMI. I can click disconnect and after a few seconds connect ,  sometimes  I can prevent it from locking up and having to restart the HMI.
I have noticed this problem especially with  more than one Allen Bradley Micrologix Controllers on a screen , add a  compact or control Logix to the mix and you loose one off them doesn't seem to really affect it

Open Discussion / Compact Logix message instructions

« on: September 07, 2015, 10:03:05 PM »

I see this in a  compact logix program , several MSG instructions , 12 msg isnt. all programed the same way, communicating with 4 Micro Logix 1400's . I suspect that this maybe sometimes causing slow comms over this Ethernet network. There is 1 compact Logix and 4 Micrologix 1400 and panelview plus Whats you opinion on this , I really don't think a msg have to fire this fast.

« on: August 31, 2015, 08:12:56 AM »

I used this code that i found on this forum and I maybe missing something.
when i click a button to toggle a bit the message pops up with a yes or no question but the bit still toggles before I answer.


If MsgBox("Are you sure?", Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle.YesNo) = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
            EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom1.Write("B3/100", "1")
        End If

Support Questions / Change Button Text

« on: August 30, 2015, 11:06:20 PM »

I have two buttons one to enable subscription and the other to disable , I would like to use just one button to do the same thing

The button text says enable subscriptions , then when clicked, it enables subscriptions and then changes the text on the button to say disable subscription and the next time it is clicked it would disable subscriptions and revert back to the original text.
