Open Discussion / modbus tcp to modbus rtu converter

« on: May 18, 2019, 10:53:25 AM »

Archie,
The ModRSsim2 program provides an option for delays which is shown as "Responsiveness" under the "Settings" popup. See the attached PNG for an example. It can be set for up to 10 seconds of delay. Thanks.

Open Discussion / How to make an EXE run as a Service

« on: November 10, 2018, 12:22:49 PM »

Here is a simple guide to making a standard EXE run as a service. Unfortunately the original link at the bottom of this document seems no longer available and the Microsoft Resource Kit link is broken as well, so you would have to search for this.

Open Discussion / Errors in Advanced HMI

This is very probably a failure of the "USB to RS-232" converter. I recommend that you obtain a converter with the FTDI chip such as the CHIPI-X10 model and test this. These are readily available from www.newark.com for a reasonable price.

rob1970, I am glad that this seems to be working out for you. You are very welcome for the suggestion. I believe that if we can use these tools to help others, then this is a wonderful benefit that they can provide. Doug Lyons

You might be able to run ModRSsim2 from SourceForge on the AHMI computer since it is a server. Then have the Android write data to a register and then have AHMI read the same register. You should also be able to have AHMI write to a register and read this on the Android. Let me know if you need more details.

Additional Components / Mono Serial Drivers - DF1 and ModbusRTU

The ModRSsim2 program has an option in the "Fmt" section for "char string" and for Godra's above example shown this might work better. It shows the actual ASCII characters. Note that "x20" is a space character. Attached below is an example that illustrates this mode with the same values as above except displayed as "char string". You can even use this mode to enter the "char string" ASCII characters directly.

Open Discussion / scaling

« on: September 29, 2017, 10:21:06 PM »

Maybe it would be good to have the formulas to derive the factors above.

ValueScaleFactor = [(scaled max) - (scaled min)]/[(input max) - (input min)]

ValueScaleOffset = [(scaled min)/ValueScaleFactor] - (input min)

Careful attention to the signs must be utilized to get the correct values for these.

Open Discussion / Copy 500 element array to Excel?

« on: September 25, 2017, 02:52:27 AM »

Based on Archie's comments and looking at the code, it appears that you have probably used the letter "I" instead of the number "one" somewhere. Its unfortunate that these look so much alike. Here is another version of the line with verbal comments that may help you.

ExcelPackage.Workbook.Worksheets(number one).Cells(number one, Letter "I" + number one).Value = MyValues(Letter "I")

You might want to try using the alternate syntax by using "B39/0".

This result would be what happens with a WordSwap, so using WordSwap should be all that is required. The patch may also be needed.

Support Questions / Problem with multidrop Modbus & ModRSsim2

« on: January 10, 2017, 02:21:38 AM »

Godra,

Thanks for your testing and updates.

After my initial SourceForge upload of version 8.21.2.4 I continued testing at lower screen resolutions.
What I found was the hidden buttons as you noted on 1280 and 800 pixel width screens.
I added a check for the Screen Width and made a correction of the Toolbar's position based on my findings.
Afterwards, I did another upload to SourceForge. It showed no downloads at that time, but this may be broken right now.
So, there was about a 4 hour window with slightly different code and you must had gotten a copy of the original code.
Now when you tested again, you were able to download the later code, so it works better for you.

Thanks again,
Doug Lyons
