Hi, i'm trying to add this control: https://www.advancedhmi.com/forum/index.php?topic=641.0
seems everything is fine but the control does not appear on my Toolbox. i've followed all instruction including Change the property BuildAction to Embedded Resource for the XML file.
 I'm using version 3.99y

If you are using TAB control, I'd suggest to have at least 2 or 3 drivers and change pollrate to slow, medium, fast. As more components added, selectively choose on what you need.

i never tried to use more than one driver in my application.

https://www.advancedhmi.com/forum/index.php?topic=2543.msg15352#msg15352

i ended up using tab control instead of making multiple pages.

that will be from the PLC program.
so at the moment i have a BarLevel indicator with high and low setting.
if above high and below low limit, the sound alarm will activate (program in the PLC).

did i miss out anything? please let me know.

i found the easiest solution:

1. in the solution explorer, go to Controls>Components>SoundPlayer.vb
2. right click SoundPlayer.vb>view code
3. expand the Events and see the Private Sub PlaySound()
4. Change the player.Play() to player.PlayLooping()
5. Rebuild and Save the project.

here is a simpler one:
same, firstly create a button for indication.

Code: [Select]

Private Sub OmronSerialHostLinkCom1_SubscribedDataReceived(sender As Object, e As Drivers.Common.PlcComEventArgs)
       
       'SCU COMM LOSS INDICATION

        If e.Values.Count <= 0 Then
            SurfaceComButton.BackColor = Color.Red
            SurfaceComButton.Text = "NO TELEMETRY"
        Else SurfaceComButton.BackColor = Color.Lime
                SurfaceComButton.Text = "TELEMETRY OK"
        End If

End Sub

You could always just try to put those controls on a panel or a groupbox?

i'll give a try to your idea and see what will happen.

Here's another option to try.
i tried this method which is 100% working on OmronSerialHostlink driver.

First i created a button (from Visual Basic standard button, not from the AHMI) to show the comm status.
Then i picked up any address from the control on the form (in this case is D2087):

Code: [Select]

Private Sub MainForm_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
            Me.OmronSerialHostLinkCom1.Subscribe("D2087", 1, 250, AddressOf OmronSerialHostLinkCom1_SubscribedDataReceived)
End Sub
Then the following code:

Code: [Select]

Private Sub OmronSerialHostLinkCom1_SubscribedDataReceived(sender As Object, e As Drivers.Common.PlcComEventArgs)
                If e.PlcAddress = "D2087" Then
            If e.ErrorMessage = "Error End Code=0x000F" Then
                SurfaceComButton.BackColor = Color.Red
                SurfaceComButton.Text = "NO TELEMETRY"
            Else SurfaceComButton.BackColor = Color.Lime
                SurfaceComButton.Text = "TELEMETRY OK"
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
