Support Questions / Re: uncatchable System.Net.Sockets.SocketException thrown when trying to read tag

« on: January 25, 2024, 08:13:30 AM »

The version of the dll is 1.2.5.0 when I look at the properties.

That's quite an older version. If you email sales at advancedhmi.com, and give your order number or email in which it was registered, you can get the latest version that won't give an exception.

What version of the ClxDriver are you using? I want to make sure I test in the same version because an un-catchable exception should not be thrown.

Support Questions / Re: RE: Display Position By Integer Value

« on: January 13, 2024, 12:08:26 PM »

The reason PLCAddressLeft worked is because of an AdvancedHMI feature known as Auto Properties. The software will look for properties with the name PLCAddress*. It will strip the PLCAddress off those properties then use what's left to see if a property exists by that name. If so, it will use the value from the PLC to push into that property.

The BasicIndicator has a property named Top that will set its distance from the top of the form (or container that it exists in). If you modify the BasicIndicator by adding :

Public Property PLCAddressTop as string

AdvancedHMI's Auto Property feature will link the PLC value from the tag/register to the property Top.

In version 3.99y there is a MessageListByItem that lets you select random booleans for message triggers.

Are your alarm bits packed in a larger value type such as an INT or DINT?

The address of 40001 in AdvancedHMI should write to MHR40001

But all of then start with some kind of message identification and numbering.

ModbusTCP packet has a transaction Identifier, Protocol Identifier, and a packet length that precedes the PDU.

It sound like the simulator is using ModbusRTU

Can you download version 3.99y Beta from this forum and test with it? 3.99x is frozen from any changes, but 3.99y is still actively developed.

Which Modbus driver are you using and what Mobus address are you putting the PLCAddress of the control?

Path Segment error has always been a tag name when I saw it. Make sure the tag is not a program scope tag.

The best way I found to verify this is to get the tag list using AdvancedHMI

Will it run straight in pi without installing mono?

As far as I know, the WinForm extensions for .NET 8.0 will only target Windows. I haven't tried it yet, but there may be a possibility that AdvancedHMI v8 will no longer run under Mono.

The big push is now for .NET MAUI and Blazer for the UI to be cross platform.

After a very long wait for Microsoft to work all the bugs out of the latest WinForms for .NET, it seems to finally be here. For AdvancedHMI, this means a major update to the .NET 8.0 framework.

The update has been about 80% done and tested with decent results. So far the chart controls were the greatest challenge because the chart component that used to be part of the .NET framework has been removed. Thankfully it was all open sourced and the community has updated it.

The next big challenge are the COM components which consists of OPC-DA and one of the TwinCAT drivers.

A beta version may be available as soon as by the end of the month. It will be posted in the members only section. It will requite the latest update of Visual Studio 2022.
