Open Discussion / ChartWithLogging tag issue

« on: October 19, 2022, 01:17:49 PM »

I have a tag that I am wanting to trend.
I have this tag N59[39] assigned to a AnalogValueDisplay and it works with no issues.
If I add the same address to the PLCAddress section for the chart I get nothing. The chart doesn't not even start
at all. If I remove the [39] the chart will start but obviously not displaying the data that I want. I feel sure that I must
beover looking something but I just can't seem to figure this out.

Support Questions / Access advanced HMI from multiple locations

« on: December 03, 2020, 11:01:55 AM »

I am looking for some guidance as to the best solution to view Advanced HMI from multiple locations. I know that I can place a local copy of HMI program on each workstation (which works just fine) but this limits knowing who made changes. If I try to use remote desktop then the local HMI is not viewable while remote connection is active. Customer is currently using ignition and likes the ability to access using IP address from any workstation he so choses. just curious as to what others have used to accomplish this.

Thanks,
Gene

Open Discussion / Hardware Spec

« on: May 07, 2020, 09:39:03 AM »

I was looking at the hardware specs in the product section
and see that the 8" screen has 1024 X 768 resolution while
the 10" screen has 800 X 600 resolution. I just wanted
to double check and make sure this is correct. I have my project
almost ready to go and need to make sure I don't have a resolution
issue.

Thanks,

Support Questions / Loops

« on: March 26, 2019, 11:27:14 PM »

I have been reading up on how to construct loops.
I have made numerous attempts but not making much progress.
Here is what I have done....
Added a datasubsriber.
Added this code to form.....

Code: [Select]

        If Alarm_Data.PLCAddressValueItems(0).LastValue = True Then
            ModbusTCPCom1.Write(40300.0, 1)
        Else
            ModbusTCPCom1.Write(40300.0, 0)
        End If
        If Alarm_Data.PLCAddressValueItems(1).LastValue = True Then
            ModbusTCPCom1.Write(40300.1, 1)
        Else
            ModbusTCPCom1.Write(40300.1, 0)
        End If
etc.....
etc.....

        If Alarm_Data.PLCAddressValueItems(15).LastValue = True Then
            ModbusTCPCom1.Write(40300.15, 1)
        Else
            ModbusTCPCom1.Write(40300.15, 0)
        End If
etc.....
etc.....
        If Alarm_Data.PLCAddressValueItems(31).LastValue = True Then
            ModbusTCPCom1.Write(40301.15, 1)
        Else
            ModbusTCPCom1.Write(40301.15, 0)
        End IfThis code works as expected.
Can This be converted to loops, or am I just spinning my wheels?

Thanks,
Gene

Support Questions / IO Map

« on: November 11, 2018, 09:52:01 AM »

It has been a while but I seem to remember a topic that explained how to setup an IO Map that would direct the base tag to use a specific address
in the PLC. This way would allow the actual PLC tag name to be edited in a list instead of actually having to edit every field of the display screen. I am sure that I seen this
before but I have searched and can't locate the thread. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Support Questions / EthernetIPforCLXCom1 Driver (Solved)

« on: October 23, 2017, 10:23:13 AM »

First I would like to say I am new to this product. I have been "exploring" the different options that this product provides.
I am very impressed so far. A big thanks to all involved in development and support of the product. I have been able to figure
out most things either by trial and error or by searching this forum. However, I have an issue that I have not been able to figure out.
My project consist of a main menu with 8 forms representing 8 different PLC's. I have two test PLC's (Allen Bradley Compactlogix)
connected at this time. I have connections and gathering data from both PLC's but  the problem is anytime I have a loss of communication
to the PLC using any of the EthernetIPforCLXCom2 -  EthernetIPforCLXCom8 connections, communication also stops on the EthernetIPforCLXCom1 connection.
If communication stops on the EthernetIPforCLXCom1 the other connections continue to work with no issues. If this have been covered and I just overlooked the
thread my apologies in advance.
