Support Questions / Re: Koyo directlogic 05 addressing

Nobody is stopping you from putting 10 pilot lights on the form and testing a range of addresses like 02048 to 02057 and then changing it to another range like 00001 to 00009, just to see if you get a response from any of them.

For the Intranet you should check the following topic:

For the Internet you could use some database like SQL.

Not really sure if this is critical but do pay attention to the upper / lower case letters, so the tag should be Robot1LineABuild.PalletID - exactly as the Tag Browser shows them - and if DATA is to be used then add it as such: Robot1LineABuild.PalletID.DATA.

I was not referring to your link but to the overall compatibility of VS2022, which you can find here:

   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2022/compatibility

In your case the computer that you are using seems to have Net Framework 4.0 installed, possibly by VS2019 installation if you had one, and all other users who don't have it will probably have to do Google searches to find out how to install this.

bacphi that seems to require all sorts of workarounds to make it work so if anybody asks then you can try to explain it to them.

mplekker has Windows 11 which can make things even trickier.

I am not familiar with Windows 11 but would suggest to mplekker to try keeping the AdvancedHMI project folder inside the Documents folder for proper access.

VS2022 does not seem to support .Net 4.0 but should offer to update the target .Net version and this should be done for all projects within AdvancedHMI.

Maybe try to do it manually for each project.

Archie could provide more info but from what I recall targeting .Net 4.0 is done only for compatibility with the AdvancedHMI OPC drivers.

Support Questions / Re: Modbus RTU RS232 no responding to PLC

« on: September 04, 2022, 11:30:42 AM »

You need to sort out your COM ports and StationAddress.

With your last reply you have now introduced a new COM9 port while your ModbusRTUCom1 settings don't seem to match any of this correctly.

If you do know for sure that AdvancedHMI is communicating with your PLC then try suggestion about your C32 / T32 / F32 addresses in my previous post.

Support Questions / Re: Modbus RTU RS232 no responding to PLC

« on: September 01, 2022, 09:46:20 PM »

Your pictures show COM1 and COM13, Station number 2 and StationAddress 1 which are kind of conflicting.

Since you are using ModbusRTU then you should have only one program communicating with your PLC, either AdvancedHMI or your real time PLC program.

If your C32 / T32 / F32 are 32-bit values then you should use prefixes in PLCAddressValue field as it is explained here:

Support Questions / Re: Connect to a PLC through A1 port to A2 port

« on: August 10, 2022, 11:55:37 AM »

The logic suggests that in AHMI you could try using 2 EthernetIPforCLXCom drivers, one each for your A1 and A2, and then either try using VB code in their events to regulate what should be done in each driver or just try using the ComBridge2 component found here:

Feature Request / Re: Version Labels for both AdvancedHMI Build and Current publish revision

« on: July 31, 2022, 02:47:54 PM »

You can try the following code after you add 2 standard labels and name them "lblAHMIVersion" and "lblPublishedVersion":

Code: [Select]

    Private Sub MainForm_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'set AHMI version info
        lblAHMIVersion.Text = "v" & System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Version.ToString()

        'set published version info
        If System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed Then
            lblPublishedVersion.Text = "v" & System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion.ToString()
        End If
    End Sub

You can omit either of the labels and remove corresponding code.

« on: July 25, 2022, 12:26:08 AM »

The one on the right should be SimpleLEDAnalog control whose brightness is controlled by the value.

There should also be an option to set a tiny round border around the LED, controlled with public properties LED_Border and LED_BorderColor.

Jaguar,

just to make your work easier, you need to rely on Intellisense to show you what controls are available in the solution you are using - this normally pops up as soon as you would start deleting characters from the end of the line and get to the matching substrings.

Look up Intellisense on Google if you are not sure what it does.

Another thing you should do is work with a copy of your solution and once you know that changes might be working properly then apply them to the original solution.
