Support Questions / Frustrated with software, can't enter tags.
« on: October 03, 2017, 05:51:15 PM »
Ok, I get that I'm new to this software and everything is only as good as the time you've spent with it. My customer has decided to use Advanced HMI and I have limited experience with Visual Studio, though I have successfully written applications in the past. However, at this point I am finding it virtually unusable.
When I try to enter a tag for any purpose using either the MicroLogix or CLX ethernet connection it will not accept the tag, even if I try to use the one from a video I was watching (TimmerTag.ACC). I tried using N7:0 for MicroLogix.
Whatever I enter I get a message stating "Property value is not valid", when I click the details button this message is displayed: Object of type 'MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.PLCAddressItem' cannot be converted to type 'MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.PLCAddressItem' .
I'm sure I'm the idiot, but maybe you could help me out and perhaps make things a bit more idiot proof in the future.
It seems like a great idea, but if this is how the software functions in actual practice it isn't worth the frustration.
