Feature Request / Request a MODBUS over RS232 driver

« on: August 29, 2013, 11:13:33 AM »

Please consider a MODBUS over RS232 driver for standalone applications.


(I have been using the TCP/IP driver everywhere I can, and it works great! I'm not a fan of drivers that are specific to one particular brand of device.)

Thanks.

Support Questions / Re: Meter Pack

« on: August 28, 2013, 04:44:03 PM »

Just out of curiousity, does that meter pack include a meter or gauge that allows you to set its background colour based on value? (ie, red for a high value)

I don't see a way to do this with the standard gauge control, or is there?

Thanks,

Support Questions / Scale gauge control output to a fraction of input value

« on: August 28, 2013, 01:56:39 PM »

Hi,

What would it take for a gauge control to read 0.00 - 1.00 in response to a PLC input that varies from 0 - 100? That is, I want the gauge to display 1/100 of the integer from the PLC. Right now, I can't set Gauge.MaxValue to 1.

Thank you,

Thank you, that works fine now. My mistake.

Feature Request / Re: Component to allow logging to .CSV

Thanks guys.

Glad to hear someone's done it. It is VB, so I know stuff is possible...

That code snippet there looks helpful. I'm not stuck on .csv, but it is easy to import into excel.
.txt should work too.

Thank you, I had done that, but I see now that my one device is offline.
I'll give it another shot once it comes back on.

Feature Request / Re: Email Alert

That's great!

Will it display the contents of a Modbus word  address to the operator, or only predefined text?

Feature Request / Component to allow logging to .CSV

« on: August 07, 2013, 05:43:01 PM »

Could a module be made that would contain the history of a data register by sampling it at regular intervals, much like "sampling" on most HMI platforms?
Could a module be made to display a graph of the data from the sampling channel?
Could a module be made to export the sampled data in .CSV format?

I'm not capable of coding this myself at this point. If these can be done, as well as support for email alerts and Multiple Modbus TCP/IP connections: I would be quite interested. If needed, I can probably pay for some of these features...


Thank you,

Feature Request / Connection to multiple devices on Modbus TCP/IP

« on: August 07, 2013, 05:35:17 PM »

I don't know very much VB at all. What would be required to make it possible to connect multiple Modbus Devices over Modbus TCP/IP? For example, having 2 pilot lamps addressed to separate PLCs.

Could a module be made that would support this?

I don't think I can write that code. 


Thank you,

Feature Request / Email Alert

« on: August 07, 2013, 05:26:18 PM »

I don't know very much VB at all. What would be involved in configuring email alerts triggered by a data value going out of a preset range, or by a bit set high?

 Has this been done? Would someone help me with the code - or is it available with a price?

Thank you,
