Support Questions / Re: No response from Forward Open

Any advice on where to start from anyone else who experienced this would be greatly appreciated. If there's any other information needed, let me know.

What is your PollRateOverride setting for your drivers? You can try to set it to 1000 to see if slower communications has any effect.

Using some code, you can read the CSV file directly into an AdvancedHMI application. The processing and charting may be a bit more involved, but definitely possible. How are the CSV files created? Do they continuously receive additional data?

Open Discussion / Re: Siemens S7 driver

« on: March 23, 2023, 02:15:49 PM »

I use the attached driver with great success in my plant with over 50 S7-300 PLCs, So far only for machine interface and data acquisition but it seems very stable. I have not tested with a 1200 yet but I will be soon and post my findings.

(Not My Driver, I found it in the forums) If this is not allowed please feel free to delete.

I see this driver is a wrapper for the Snap7 driver. Looks like a good job was done on the wrapper code. For anyone wanting to try this Siemens driver, here are the steps:

- Download and extract the 3 files
- Open the AdvancedHMI solution in VS
- In Solution Explorer expand down the AdvancedHMDrivers project
- Right click the Support folder and select Add Existing Items
- Browse to the 3 extracted files
- Change the file type filter to All Files
- Select the 2 DLL files
- With the 2 DLL files now in the Support folder, select each one by clicking once on it, then in the Properties set "Copy if Newer"

- Right click the AdvancedHMIDrivers project and Select Add Existing Item
- Browse to and select the SiemensCom.vb file

- Right click the AdvancedHMIDrivers project and Select Add References
- Browse to and select Snap7.net.dll

What have you tried so far to read the CSV file?

Support Questions / Re: Where did the cool popup keypad go?

« on: March 21, 2023, 01:03:23 PM »

You will need to go into the code for each control, such as BasicLabel.vb and find this line of code:

                KeypadPopUp = New MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Controls.KeypadV2(m_KeypadWidth)

Then remove the V2

Does the PC completely freeze or do you get an exception crash?

I need more details. Your program has a lot of code that was written, so I need to know where the crash occurs to know if it's in the code or in AdvancedHMI.

Some things are broken now as I was using those obsolete things but I think I can work with this.

The Highlight colors and characters are now controlled with each message through the use of foreground and background colors

VisibleControlEnum -> VisibleControlOptions
ForeColoeAltername -> ForeColorAlternate

HighLightColor* and HighlightKey* -> delete each line completely. Those properties no longer exist.

Open MainForm.designer.vb and do a Search and Replace for ".LightColors" to ".LightColorOption"

Anyone?  I'm sure I am missing some minor detail or I've over simplified adding just the MainForm.vb file.  It can't be that difficult to move my project from 'x' to 'y'.

One error I did notice was for an image file I had on my MainForm so that was easy to import manually. Since it didn't migrate the graphic over, there must be more to do to bring the project over than import the one .vb file?

Can you post more details of at least one of the errors?

I expect I can just lift the project folder from My Documents and place on the new PC with nothing else needed?

As long as you get the complete solution with all of the project folders.

When you Rebuild Solution what errors do you get? Try rebuilding each project individually
