Open Discussion / 7" PC

« on: January 03, 2019, 09:53:45 AM »

At one time there was discussion about 7" touchscreen pc. Archie is there any chance this could happen in the future? I'm interested in switching one of me customers (an equipment oem) from from a non-pc hmi but if I do it needs to be something that will be around for awhile.  thanks.

I'm using the same address in a basic label, panelmeter and pressure gauge and they all seem fine. This is not an emergency Archie. You can take the day off .

I'm trying to use the LinearMeterH and LinearMeterV components and keep getting an error at runtime.

The component works fine and then posts the error 'Invalid Slc/Micro address - 30'. It's cyclic and repeats every few seconds.

I used the files from the root of the extracted folder.

I just downloaded that latest 2017 and AdvancedHMI and had the same error. I also had to delete the mainform.resx file under C# to get it to work. Just an FYI.

I am currently using only 1 driver. This is a new project and I'm trying to prove the point that the reporting can be done with a click of the mouse rather than someone importing data into 25 excel sheets and generating graphs for 2 hours every morning:) I am getting data from a red lion modular controller and it is running a recent version of crimson software. The entire project, should I get the job will have 16 of these devices and I will use a different driver instance for each of them, or at least that's the plan.

I just looked through the frame details for the reply that didn't work and under TCP it says 'bad checksum'.....  I think I need to get their IT people involved.. Thank you for looking at it.

Thanks Archie. I'll try wireshark again.

I tried polloverrides from 500 to 5000 and timeouts from 100 to 15000 and always get the same results. I had trouble using wireshark but I did get a capture with Microsoft Network Monitor. Here is a frame summary.  It's interesting that the first time I get data back and roughly every 4th time after that. I'm hoping this is enough info to help. I really don't know what I'm looking at.....

I've attached a text file of the results.

I took it up to 2 seconds but the result was no different. I'll try to get in and run a wire shark on it. thanks

Ok thanks. I can do that. If that's the case would changing the pollrateoverride help?
