Support Questions / Screen control - Tabcontrol or something else?

« on: March 13, 2020, 09:25:18 AM »

So I have just seen this on one of Archie's older posts and wondering how is screen control working here? are these part of a tabcontrol or some other advHMI component that serves screens independently?
I have highlighted the buttons in question in yellow...

Thanks

Support Questions / AdvHMI and VNC crashing

« on: March 13, 2020, 09:22:31 AM »

When I run advanced hmi applications (2 of them) everything runs fine and dandy..
As soon as I start VNC on another computer and connect to the HMI pc, both advancedHMI applications freeze and stop responding...
Next, I close VNC viewer and within 10 seconds both applications are back up and running.
Couldn't attach the wireshark capture because of size limit...

Thanks for any help.

Support Questions / Subscription Poll Rate Modify

« on: May 08, 2019, 09:43:43 AM »

Hello,

I am already subscribed to an address and reading data at 100ms rate.
How can I modify the subscription poll rate to 50ms while the subscription is running?
If I re-subscribe with the new poll rate would I have 2 separate subscriptions running or would the new one replace the old one?

Thanks.

Additional Components / Adding extra properties to controls

« on: April 04, 2019, 02:20:06 PM »

Is it possible to modify the controls like "AnalogValueDisplay" or "PilotLight" to include a property "PLCAddressEnabled"?
Right now I can only use "PLCAddressVisible".
Some other controls like "BasicButton" carries both properties visible and enabled.

Support Questions / MultiStateSeelctor "out of memory"

« on: January 22, 2019, 01:37:14 PM »

Trying to add "Multistate Selector" for the second trial now; I had to delete everything and start from scratch...
When I add it to the forms, I select the background colors and the background color for the selected state; I added two states only for value of 0 and value of 1.
When I try to build the application I get the attached error.

Support Questions / Serial Driver to SLC 5/03

« on: January 21, 2019, 04:14:38 PM »

Is there something I have to add to code to close com port before form closes?
When I first power up my pc, the application will run fine. If I close the application and re open it, it wont find the PLC again and no data gets received; looks like com port is busy or something.

If I restart my PC and restart the AdvancedHMI application it will start again no problem.

Support Questions / Analog Value Display & Message list by bit

« on: January 17, 2019, 01:57:31 PM »

Hi there, thanks in advance for the help.

1) Is there a way make analog value display text centered? For example when value changes from 3 to 2000 the numbers won't be aligned anymore. I want 3 and 2000 to be vertically aligned. I tried to change text alignment but didn't help.

2) Message list: Is there a way to show more than just 32 bits? If that is the max I shall say it is very limited..

Edit:
Assuming 32 bits is what I use, can I increase the number of elements to more than 2?
Mine always resets back to 2 if I set to to higher than 2.. IS this only my issue?
Thanks.

Support Questions / Handling "missing tag name" error

« on: November 09, 2018, 09:55:26 AM »

Hi,

What is the best way to handle an error of a missing tag name? Assuming I have 5 analogvaluedisplay components each has a different PLC tag name, what happens if somebody deletes the tag on the controllogix PLC side? Right now the whole form freezes until that tag is added back to the tags on the PLC.

I am looking for a way to deal with this error...

Not sure if there are current solutions within the advancedHMI controls/drivers projects but I tried few things and couldn't get it.

Thanks for the help.
