Title: Rotational Position Indicator
Post by: Godra on January 26, 2016, 10:54:17 AM

As the title states, this is a rotational position indicator.

It should be sufficient to add the files as an "Existing Item" to PurchasedControls folder.

Read the comments section inside the file itself for features.

Get files from Archie's post below or just use AHMI v3.99m+ (those are updated versions of the control from this post).

Godra and I added some enhancements to this control. See the following post for the vb files.

Thanks for putting this together.  I'll be putting an application together within the next few days.  Hope it works well for me.  :)

While this looks well for me, I noticed within "PLC Properties", I have a "TargetValue" a "Target2Value", "TargetValue Tolerance", but no "Target2Value Tolerance".  How would I add this?

-In Solution Explorer, Right click RotationIndicatorHMI.vb and select view code
- Go down to line 163, look for this:
Public Property PLCAddressTarget2Value()
- Go further down to just below "End Property" (line 176) and insert this code:

Code: [Select]

    '*****************************************
    '* Property - Address in PLC to Link to
    '*****************************************
    Private m_PLCAddressTarget2ValueTolerance As MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.PLCAddressItem
    <System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue("")> _
    <System.ComponentModel.Category("PLC Properties")> _
    Public Property PLCAddressTarget2ValueTolerance() As MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.PLCAddressItem
        Get
            Return m_PLCAddressTarget2ValueTolerance
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.PLCAddressItem)
            If m_PLCAddressTarget2ValueTolerance IsNot value Then
                m_PLCAddressTarget2ValueTolerance = value

                '* When address is changed, re-subscribe to new address
                SubscribeToComDriver()
            End If
        End Set
    End Property

- Close all open files
- Rebuild Solution

Perfect! Thank you!!! There might have been a small typo, but the compiler caught it, and I fixed it. "SubscribeToComDriver(), needed two M's.
