Support Questions / Re: Unused PLC address in PLCAddressVisable will show true on HMI

« on: December 12, 2014, 10:39:06 PM »

I will try and recreate what happened when I get back to work tomorrow , even thought it wasn't used in the program the bit may have been set to 1 in the data table and I never noticed it.

Support Questions / Unused PLC address in PLCAddressVisable will show true on HMI

« on: December 12, 2014, 09:28:05 PM »

Happened to notice that if a plc address is added to PLCAddressVisable  of the NumericSevenSegment1  and it is not used in a micrologix 1400 program ,  it will show up in my HMI as it were true.  Noticed others do this also. Not a big problem but something you should be aware of

Ver. 3.88. I believe ,  connect to micrologix 1400 ,  all seems to work fine , although if I open and close the HMI a can actually have 2 instances running when the window is closed

I noticed when I close my HMI window that in windows task manager the advancedHmi. Exe is still running , is this because I'm not using an actual close button and just the X to close my window

Support Questions / Re: ver 3.84 - EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom1-failed to get processor type

« on: November 29, 2014, 09:53:56 PM »

I seem to have a similar  problem on page 2 , only it doesn't seen to be polling the PLC at all.   tried adding a 2nd PLC driver and that did not work,

Public Class Page2


    '*******************************************************************************
    '* Stop polling when the form is not visible in order to reduce communications
    '*******************************************************************************
    Private Sub Form_VisibleChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.VisibleChanged
        If components IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim drv As AdvancedHMIDrivers.IComComponent
            '*****************************
            '* Search for comm components
            '*****************************
            For i As Integer = 0 To components.Components.Count - 1
                If components.Components(i).GetType.GetInterface("AdvancedHMIDrivers.IComComponent") IsNot Nothing Then
                    drv = components.Components.Item(i)
                    '* Stop/Start polling based on form visibility
                    drv.DisableSubscriptions = Not Me.Visible
                End If
            Next
        End If
    End Sub


    Private Sub ReturnToMainButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        MainForm.Show()
        Me.Hide()
    End Sub

    Private Sub NumericSevenSegment1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles NumericSevenSegment1.Click

    End Sub

    Private Sub Page2_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

    Private Sub NumericSevenSegment2_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles NumericSevenSegment2.Click

    End Sub

Support Questions / Re: EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom1 - forcing and ip address in the driver

« on: November 25, 2014, 06:46:09 AM »

On my first form I have a button and textbox to force a new IP address into the plc driver , It will only change on the form that is open, When I open my 2nd form and  the 1st one hides , and I have to change it again on the form that is open or now showing . Is there a way  force it on the first form and have it change on all of them at the same time.
