Support Questions / Re: Making Pilot Light color brighter

« on: December 08, 2015, 02:40:17 PM »

Hi

So I looked at the code and it looks pretty impressive. What I would really want is just be able to add the entire color palette to 'LightColor' and 'LightColorOff' properties. Just how you have the entire color range available for 'LightColorOnTextColor' and 'LightColorOffTextColor' properties. I would want all those colors available for the two properties that I mentioned.

You think you can help me out with that maybe ?

Thanks

Thanks a lot buddy, it looks like I want something on the same lines too. I'll use the code and try modifying it more if I have to. I'll post any other questions or updates that i might have.

Thanks again

Support Questions / Making Pilot Light color brighter

« on: December 07, 2015, 11:57:18 AM »

Hello

I am using a few pilot lights to monitor the state of the the inputs and outputs of my PLC. I've kept the 'LightColor' as well as the 'LightColorOff' properties to the same color. This way, when the pilot turn turns on, the same color gets brighter. However, I am noticing that a lot of times it is hard to make out if the light is on or off because the difference in the brightness is not that much (especially for the yellow color). I understand that I can set the 'LightColorOff' as white, however, I would prefer that I keep them the same color.

So my question is that can I make the colors more or less bright ? I tried looking into the PilotLight.vb file in the hope of finding a color property defined there, but unfortunately could not find that.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Support Questions / Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow

« on: December 07, 2015, 10:20:16 AM »

Hello

So I have a bunch on Pilot Lights connected to various inputs and outputs of a PLC, and I am just noticing that after about 2 mins, when the HMI starts running, The Pilot Lights keep working, but they start showing the message "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow". And then sometimes the messages disappear themselves, and then re-appear, other times, they stay on. Both the input and output pilot lights show these messages !

Thanks in advance for any help

Support Questions / Re: 'Illegal Function' and 'Illegal Data Address' messages

« on: December 02, 2015, 12:21:55 PM »

Ok, I will have a look at the forum and I just confirmed that the PLC actually does support those function codes.

http://www.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/d006userm/d06uservol1.pdf

Page 142, it states it as 01, 02, 05 etc.

So when I explicitly add a 01 in front of the output address, e.g. 0102053 to read the state of the output, that 'Illegal Function' message does not show! However, I still cannot see the correct state though.

Thanks a lot

So where am I suppose to list the function code ? In front of the PLC Address ? Like 212021 ? That gives me an illegal address message because the addresses are supposed to start with a 0 and a 1

Thanks

Support Questions / 'Illegal Function' and 'Illegal Data Address' messages

« on: December 02, 2015, 09:09:33 AM »

Hi

So I have an HMI with a bunch of Pilot Lights connect to check the status of some inputs and outputs on the PLC. I am pretty sure that the PLC addresses are correct because I initially tested them on a similar PLC. So now when I run the HMI, I see a message saying 'Illegal Function' on the pilot lights connected to the outputs and 'Illegal Data Address' on the pilot lights connected to the inputs.

The input addresses are like 12051, 12054, 12055 ... and the output addresses are 02053, 02054, 02055 ...., and these were tested to work on another similar PLC (DirectLogic 06 DO-06DD1)

I haven't really come across these message ever before !

Thanks in advance for the help

Hi

So i tried your solution, and unfortunately, that did not work.

Something else maybe ?

Thanks a lot

Support Questions / Turning on a PLC at a fixed time of the day

« on: November 30, 2015, 02:20:59 PM »

Hi

This might be an extremely straightforward question for a lot of you, but somehow, I cant seem to get around it. I have a few Momentary Buttons on my HMI that are used to turn on/off certain PLCs mnually. What I am looking to do is turn on/off these PLCs at the fixed time of the day automatically!

I have the DateTime control on the Form and I can successfully extract the time out of it. I can also check if it is the correct time to turn on the PLCs or not.

What I am having trouble with is that how do I send that on/off message to the PLC through the momentary button. I initially thought that the Momentary Button would have a 'value' property which I can set to True or False. However, it does not have that property.

Would greatly appreciate any assistance in solving this issue.

Thanks in advance

Support Questions / Re: AdvancedHMI.exe not working

« on: November 24, 2015, 09:09:09 AM »

Sure, I will try that out and get back to you. The 12050 came from the addressing table in the PLC manual. Also, clicking on the PilotLight does not have any effect on the state of the input/output (because the color of the light changes when you click on it !), is that a correct assumption ?

Thanks
