Support Questions / Changing the Look of a Button

« on: February 26, 2024, 08:02:15 AM »

Good Morning Everyone,

I have a working project that the operators are asking for a change.

I have several Basic Buttons that are Enabled and Disabled based on the machine condition.  The operators would like the Disabled state to be a different color as they are having trouble determining if the button is Disabled.

Is there some code I can add to the button to change the color when Disabled??

Thanks

Support Questions / Adding Conditions

« on: February 23, 2024, 10:13:47 AM »

Good Morning Everyone,

I have a program that works but I want to make the BasicButtons show and hide.
I can add PLC Addresses to the 'PLCAddressVisible' but cannot add multiple addresses.

is there a way to add additional 'PLCAddressVisible' addresses to the BasicButton code to accept multiple conditions??

I don't have PLC change permissions.

Thanks

Support Questions / BasicLabel Overload

« on: June 02, 2022, 07:33:58 AM »

Good Morning Y'all,

I have an App that I've been working on that uses 59 BasicLabels to read and write data to three Allen Bradley PLC's.
I needed to add more BasicLabels to the app but adding one more causes all of them to loose connection to the PLC's.

Is there any way to increase the maximum limit of basiclabels per screen?

Thanks Randy

Support Questions / Error Migrating From Beta17 to Beta34

« on: December 02, 2019, 10:29:27 AM »

Gentlemen,

I have an app that was built and functions using 3.99y Beta17, I have been trying to upgrade this app to 3.99y Beta34 but I have had minor errors to knock down.
This one however I can't seem to get past...
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Code generation for property 'PLCAddressValue' failed.  Error was: '[A]MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.PLCAddressItem cannot be cast to MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.PLCAddressItem. Type A originates from 'MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers, Version=3.99.19.7, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' in the context 'LoadNeither' at location 'C:\Users\rshepherd\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_8ccf801a\ProjectAssemblies\j5wj0pv401\MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.dll'.

Anyone else having this issue?
Any help would be appreciated.

Support Questions / Migrating to VS2019

« on: April 24, 2019, 09:30:52 AM »

To the Brain Trust...

I have installed Visual Studio 2019.
When I open one of Visual Studio 2017 programs and re-build the solution Every Connection and Every device has been wiped off the screen.  The only thing left in the MainForm.Designer.vb file is the Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean) subroutine and the Friend WithEvents data.

How do I Migrate my programs to VS2019 without losing all the screen components??

Thanks

Support Questions / Driver for Pro-Face PLC

« on: February 21, 2019, 08:20:04 AM »

I have 22 Pro-Face PLC's in the plant that I would like to be able to interrogate directly, with plans for 16 more in the future.

Pro-Face was chosen over Allen Bradley due to cost and size, they are ok for the task.

Currently the Pro-Face devices all talk to a L32 processor but the processor can't see the Pro-Face devices.
I would like to create an HMI that will live in a central PC and talk to the Pro-Face PLC's without having to bounce data off of the L32 processor.

Any thoughts on building a driver?

Thanks

Support Questions / Installing more than one AHMI program

« on: February 20, 2019, 03:08:33 PM »

Might be an obvious question but the answer eludes me...

I have a PC that sits in a corner running an AHMI program.
How can I install another program on that PC??  Both programs have different names but when I try to install the second one the first one opens and runs like normal.

Thanks

Open Discussion / AdvancedHMI Maximum

« on: August 20, 2018, 01:37:21 PM »

I have been working on a small project and when my supervisor saw what this software could do he asked me to get the data from all the PLC's in the plant.

We have 87 PLC's, all Allen Bradley.  There are only a handful that are not on the network.

Question is how many PLC connections can the AdvancedHMI software handle in one Application?  Should I break it up into smaller apps?

Thanks
Randy
