This is another document that you may find useful for reading data by class/instance/attribute:

Support Questions / Re: Do-More BRX EthernetIP?

« on: October 13, 2023, 01:56:04 PM »

From Page 40 of the Chapter 13 , the class ID is 40, Instance 101, attribute 3

Code: [Select]

        EthernetIPforCLXCom1.BeginGetAttributeSingle(4, 101, 3)

The data returned will need to be parsed from bytes:

Code: [Select]

    Private Sub EthernetIPforCLXCom1_DataReceived_1(sender As Object, e As Drivers.Common.PlcComEventArgs) Handles EthernetIPforCLXCom1.DataReceived
        '* Parse the data using e.RawData or e.Values
    End Sub

I would also put some code here to be notified of any errors:

Code: [Select]

    Private Sub EthernetIPforCLXCom1_ComError_3(sender As Object, e As Drivers.Common.PlcComEventArgs) Handles EthernetIPforCLXCom1.ComError

    End Sub

The normal AdvancedHMI controls work by using PLCAddress properties. These addresses are sent to the PLC to retrieve the data.

The BRX PLC with Ethernet/IP uses Object and instance numbers which the AdvancedHMI drivers do not know how to parse. With the EthernetIPforCLX driver, there are functions you can call through VB that will return data when requesting by Object and InstanceID.

Just quickly looking at the BRX Ethernet/IP specification, you can probably use the server and VB code with AdvancedHMI to read the data values. But it will not work using the normal driver/component setup in AdvancedHMI.

If you can't find the source project, your best chance is to use JustDecompile to try to reverse out the source and project. This will usually chop up the program and need some editing afterwards.

« on: September 29, 2023, 09:12:36 AM »

Assuming the protocol is not something that AdvancedHMI has a driver for, you could write some VB code to communicate to the scales. Often the scales will have a very simple protocol for retrieving data.

Support Questions / Re: How to show text based off boolean value

« on: September 27, 2023, 10:12:59 AM »

That is one technique, or you could use a single bit with a BasicLabel and the BooleanDisplay property to set it to what you want to display. If the word selection does not offer what you want, you can go into BasicLabel.vb and edit the code to give the text you want.

Support Questions / Re: how to deal withe many MODBUS devices on the same Com Port ?

« on: September 26, 2023, 03:07:23 PM »

Have you tried with the latest version 3.99y Beta ? I think using two drivers pointing to the same COM port that is an RS485 port should work.

Support Questions / Re: System.OverflowException: 'Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.'

« on: September 18, 2023, 02:20:31 PM »

Can you move all of the data files to see if the problem persists? If it does not and points to the data files as being the problem, can you post the files?

You can open Visual Studio Installer and add the feature without re-installing VS completely

Try moving some of the older data files to another folder. I'm thinking maybe it is overflowing on too much data.

What version of AdvancedHMI are you using? I tried this with 3.99y Beta and unable to replicate it.
