Feature Request / Application Showcase

I was looking through the Application Showcase Topic.
I saw lots of pictures, but no code examples.
Are there any issues posting the code?

Feature Request / Re: Automation Direct Drivers

« on: September 26, 2014, 11:18:43 AM »

I have been testing ( AHMI V3.70 ) an Automation Direct Click with the RS232 ( port #1 & #2 ) as well as the RS485 port#3.
I am having polling rate issues and DF ( floating point ) issues .
The rest looks good so far.

Support Questions / ModbusRTU Version 3.70 polling rate

« on: September 26, 2014, 10:55:22 AM »

I am running the latest version AHMI 3.70 with the ModbusRTUcomm.
I am testing 2 seperate projects with 38400 baud :
1 via RS232 and the other via RS485.
Both are working but appear to be polling every 19 seconds.
The PollRateOverride is 0 for both.
At a loss what to look for why?

Try putting an L in front of the address:

L420480

Tried this, but still had issues.

I have a Automation Direct Click PLC that I am using the ModbusRTUCom with the port 3 RS485 connection working fine.
I have a USB-RS485 convertor connected to my PLC ( Automation Direct USB-485M ).
The setup software will default this to COM3.
Make sure the PC COM3 settings agree with your ModbusRTUCom setting and the Node address defined in the PLC is correct.

I am having the same problem.
The integer values to a digital panel meter works fine, but the floating point value looks random.
The problem is a floating point is a 2 word value.
Those words can also be different byte order ( AB CD, BA DC, CD AB ).
In other hmis, I have defined it with FP ######, or define the byte order little endian/ big endian.
Not shure what to use for AdvancedHMI.

I am working on the same thing ( Click PLC ).
I have the toggle & Set/Reset working, but the momentary does not?
At a loss if there is anything special?

I just tested an AutomationDirect Click PLC with Version 365 using Modbus RTU.
The X inputs worked fine, but the Y outputs did not.
I downloaded the latest Version370beta.
The AdvancedHMIDrivers Components are missing?
