Support Questions / Re: Advanced HMI as soft-PLC?

« on: March 13, 2013, 01:13:47 PM »

The Ethernet/IP driver does not support IO messaging necessary to be a scanner.

The difficulty with making it a PLC controller is that .NET nor windows is real time therefore the response could get as bad as several seconds, depending on what Windows decides is priority. Some companies have developed a real time kernel for windows, but that is a whole other animal.

In the future there may be a possibility of a driver that makes AdvancedHMI an Ethernet/IP adapter to a scanner like the 1756-ENBT

That's good news. Those ones that run on one PC but not another are the toughest ones to figure out.

Are you able to build the solution and get items in the Toolbox?

Would it be possible to install Visual Studio on the panel and run the app from the development environment? That will hopefully give more details on the error.

Another thing to try is to change to .NET framework 4.0  This can be done by right clicking AdvancedHMI in the Solution Explorer and selecting properties. You can change the target framework under the Compile tab. Depending on your version of Visual Studio, it may be at the bottom of the page under Advanced Compile Options
