I have a App that needs to read two serial numbers  from the PC serial ports and display in a text box. I am new to VB and can’t seem to get ports to write to the textbox’s.

Open Discussion / AutomationDirect Proto X remote I\O adapter

« on: September 20, 2019, 07:11:46 AM »

Has anyone tried to use the Modbus TCP driver with an AutomationDirect Proto X remote I\O adapter? I have used them with a P-2 550 PLC from AutomationDirect. I will be trying from an AdvancedHMI PanelPC. Hoping to be able to cut down on equipment needed for small projects in our test lab. Like running some test equipment with just a Panel PC and remote I\O ( no PLC )

Support Questions / Slave Device Busy Error

« on: February 15, 2019, 12:50:06 PM »

I am using a 10 inch AHMI touch panel PC connecting to a P2-550 PLC with The modbusTCP driver.
The panel Software is ver 3.99X .  So far I have 3 basicbuttons that address the modbus fine and work. When I tried to use a Basiclabel to write to the PLC “400025” a 32 bit Integer I get “Slave Device Busy”?
I tried an Analogvaluedisplay with same error. I tried different integers always the same Slave Device Busy error.
I have 10 AHMI App running on our server and 1 other 10 inch panel running with no trouble.

Support Questions / Allen Bradley SLC 503 to AHMI

« on: February 08, 2019, 09:08:21 AM »

I am trying to connect to an AB SLC 503 using a MOXA EIP3270 module. I tried using the SerialDF1overTcpforSLCMicroCom and the EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom drivers.
I am trying to extend the distance for the connection. I am able to use the serial driver using RS232 a cable, but would like to use Ethernet to get more distance.
Has anyone used the MOXA EIP3270 module with AHMI before?

Support Questions / ModbusTCP driver errors

« on: October 22, 2018, 02:18:49 PM »

I am using AdvancedHMI apps to connect to 7 different PLC’s and a SQL Database one app per PLC. I am using the modbusTCP driver. If a PLC is turned off We get the error ”No Response from PLC” error about every 2 sec. Is there a way to limit the number of error boxes we get or stop them, It fills the screen in short order? The apps run on a server that is not monitored by people. Their purpose is to validate serial numbers for production and collect data for the database.

Support Questions / AdvancedHMIv399yBeta12

« on: September 21, 2018, 08:01:09 AM »

I am using AdvancedHMIv399yBeta12 on a 10" AdvancedHMI Panel PC. I am having trouble writing to an integer in a P2-550 AutomationDirect PLC. I have tried the DigitalPanelMeter1, AnalogValueDisplay, Basiclabel.  I have used the Modbus/TCP driver before. I have used this same setup on other app's with no trouble. I am getting no errors. The boolean is working fine both read and write. I have checked to make sure the integers are not in the ladder yet and even made new integers, still no write or errors?

Good Morning,  I have a question about writing a value back to the PLC from code, I have a Data Base returning an Integer back to the VB and need to pass that on to the PLC.  What would be the best way to use the code to write it to the PLC?
