Title: Black Box Install
Post by: Mikefly95 on May 17, 2018, 12:00:41 PM

I created an easy install and user guide for my server application Black Box. Hope some of you find it useful!!
Let me know if you need additional help.

I have had this running in production for well over a year with very little issues. Most issues are user related.

I think i may have created the zip files before I wrote the sample application. So the SayHello will need to be written but this is good practice :)

Can you give an example of how you are using it? Are you essentially hosting all plc communication on one app and sharing the data across tcp to clients?

The main way that I use this is as a data collector. I have another app that runs on the same server with multiple threads that fire and grab data and put it in one of my Database's.
I will attach a couple of examples of UI projects that also use this. One is a Web overview of the shop and the other is a desktop app that shows power consumption. Let me know if this helps at all.

And this is a WPF app.

Next step is to create a Windows Universal app and install it on a Raspberry Pi running Win 10 IoT pretty much creating an embedded panel.

I use this to log data and display it in various ways.

If you need an HMI then this is not really what you want to use. I have well over a 1,000 lines of code in my functions and only 3 write to tags and this is because I have Python scripts processing mass amounts of data and then the results are written. Way to much for the PLC to do.

This is truly for displaying info not controlling machines.
