Support Questions / AdvancedHMI not correct .NET framework for nugget.

« on: May 08, 2024, 04:41:45 PM »

Is there a way to add AdvancedHMI to a project or does it have to be started using the blank project? Reason being, I am trying to add a Zebra nugget package to a project and keep getting these errors:

  CACHE https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration5-gz-semver2/zebra.printer.sdk/index.json
Resolved actions to install package 'Zebra.Printer.SDK.3.0.3271'

Executing nuget actions took 1.18 sec
Could not install package 'Zebra.Printer.SDK 3.0.3271'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.8', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

I am not sure how to get around this, or if there is even a way to. I am trying to print a tag element from my PLC to a Zebra zt410/411 without using the PLC. I was opting for VB to be in control. Has anyone one worked on something similiar to this?

Support Questions / How to Avoid PLC and PC timeouts

« on: February 28, 2024, 03:28:51 PM »

Hello,

I am using advancedhmi v35 and visual studio 2022, I wrote a VB.net script to continuously monitor data on the PLC (a GuardLogix 5380 Safety Controller). It works very well, but we run into an issue where the line will go on break for lunch etc and during that time the HMI says it has lost connection to the PLC. I am connected through an EhternetIPforCLXCom connection, I even setup a counter function that continuously runs to keep the EthernetIPforCLXCom1_DataReceived sub active; however, it still times out and when the line is started back the HMI never reconnects. Is there a better way to perform a handshake to allow the PC and PLC to not lose the connection between the two?
I though about creating a section on the PC that will reset the counter when it reaches a certain level. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
