Support Questions / Re: How to read and write form 3 Micrologix 1400
« on: April 18, 2022, 01:42:56 PM »Hi Everyone,
I am trying to connect to 3 Micrologicx 1400 PLCs to read and write data from one to another to control some functions between them. I need to read and write words and bits. Can some one please explain how to to this in the best way possible?
Its very, but very simple just RTFM and your done!

The problem its the size of TV or monitor.
If you try it on a 15 or 17 or 21" will appear better. But if you use a 50" TV or monitor it becames really ugly.
One solution its use a diferent font or font size, ex font Segoe UI or Arial size 12

In the NumericFormat property just put N0.
This way it follows the numeric format of your system.
If you want 1 decimal place it will be N1, N2 for 2 decimals and so on

Support Questions / Re: Failed to write value.. After upgrade from 399k to 399x
« on: April 13, 2021, 03:02:09 PM »It also occurs in 3.99y beta 38. I am not sure how the drivers work, but this issue appears to be happening with all of the serial drivers. The error is thrown before communication is attempted.
It only happens if the scale factor results in a decimal.
To replicate this all you need to do is put a DigitalPanelMeter on the main form of a fresh project, give it a Keypad scale factor of 2, keypad min 0 max 100, and send it to any of the SerialDF1 drivers with a PLCAddressKeypad of N17:1 for example.
Run the project, if you enter "4" into the keypad you'll get a "no response form PLC" error. If you enter 5 you'll get a "input string was not in a correct format" error.
I have, some times ago with a Micrologix 1400, the same problem.
This tries to write a string with the decimal separator, be a coma or a point, to a integer element.
This its what i use to solve:
m_ComComponent.Write(m_PLCAddressKeypad, CInt(CDbl(KeypadPopUp.Value) / m_KeypadScaleFactor))

Tips & Tricks / Re: Raspberry Pi as Serial to Ethernet adapter
« on: March 07, 2019, 01:15:04 PM »
Hello Jeremy
I dont have those instructions and i've closed my dropbox account.
But i think i can help you.
Open a terminal on Raspberry:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install ser2net -y
with your serial-usb adapter attached try find out wath port is with:
sudo dmesg | grep tty* or ls /dev/tty*
next let'sedit the configuration file of ser2net:
sudo nano /etc/ser2net.conf
the only line that should be uncommented is like this:
4000:raw:120/dev/ttyUSB0:9600 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT
Where:
4000 - is a tcp port on the raspberry not blocked for a firewall and also the same port to use on the PC.
raw - is the format of the data (other options could be for example telnet).
120 - is te timeout in seconds.
ttyUSB0 - is an example and must be that port you find above.
9600 - is the baud rate, must adjust to you PLC.
8DATABITS - the length of each block of information.
NONE - is the parity, others optios = ODD or EVEN
1STOPBIT - how the information block ends
To make ser2net autorun every time the raspberry is turned on, do this:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Add the following above exit 0
/usr/local/sbin/ser2net -n -c /etc/ser2net.conf
Now on the PC you need:
com0com
Serial-TCP or RealTerm (https://sourceforge.net/projects/realterm/)
The configuration of Serial-TCP or RealTerm is very simple, just match the tcp port. Both, Raspberry ant th PC must be on the same network or bridged by a gateway.
The connection to AHM is made by com0com.
PLC <=> ser2net <=====> Serial-TCP <=> com0com <=> AHMI
When i published in the forum, in 2015, i have used to connect a Micrologix 1000 via a TP-Link Wi-fi AP to a PC over 400m (1,312ft). But before i have tryed also with a Micrologix 1200, with DF1 and Modbus protocols and worked well without flaws.
Any questions?

Support Questions / Re: SLC 5/02
« on: April 20, 2017, 06:21:28 AM »
You just cannot use the UIC with AdvanceHMI, just not work because the UIC uses a special DF1 protocol. Thats why in Rslinx the driver is 1770-KF2/1785-KE/SCAN... and not the normal DF1/Micrologix/PanelView. But i think, not shure, the SLC 5/02 as a RS232/DF1 port.

I have a proposal.
Some of us could post some articles and build a sort of manual under Archies supervision.
In first place must have an table of contents.
IMO it can be build and storage in sourcefourge in a directory.

Hope this reply is not to late.
I:0.0 is the digital inpupts of the PLC.
I:0.4 is the first analog and I:0.5 the second.
Both analogs are 0-10VDC and the PLC returns an integer from 0 to 1023
Beware not override 10.5V on inputs, will permenant damage occur.
Hope to be usefull

Until now i tried not only with Pi but with PC´s running Debian 7 and 8 with no success. But code writen in C seems to work where in V.Basic not.
For those who want to know if the serial adapter is working here is one usefull command that list all the serial ports:
dmesg | grep -i tty

Ethernet/IP and DF1 are diferent protocols.
The sugested 1761-NET-ENI is a piece of skilled hardware+software that makes the translation between the two, like the 1747-UIC makes the same between DF1 and DH485.
