Support Questions / Graphic indicator

« on: April 11, 2024, 12:41:11 PM »

I have multiple statuses for equipment, stored in my compactlogix as DINT variables (0=stop, 1=run, 2=trip).  The PLC stores the DINT data as booleans (eg. if Conv2_Stat is 2, then Conv2_Stat.0=False and Conv2_Stat.1=True). 

O am trying to get these variables to drive graphicindicator blocks.  I can get them to work if I specify individual boolean variables, but won't work when I use Conv2_Stat.0 as PLCAddressValueSelect1 and Conv2_Stat.1 as PLCAddressValueSelect2.  Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not going to work?

Support Questions / Second monitor

« on: April 02, 2024, 09:26:00 AM »

Hello, I've got the 17" Industrial panel, and I'm trying to set up a second monitor for a process overview screen.  How do I do that - create the second screen that is.  I have a TV attached as the monitor, but I don't know how to get the second form in VB created.

I have not dealt with VB much at all, and all of my HMI experience is Allen-Bradley PanelView and older PanelMate controls.  This seems to have a steep learning curve, hopefully I'll figure it out before our go-live date, but the lack of documentation is frustrating.
