Support Questions / AB Analog output
« on: January 14, 2019, 08:19:09 AM »
Is there a way to read an Allen Bradley output module value? I'm wanting to use output 2.0 and read the value directly into a digital panel meter. I can modify the plc program to make an integer but it's hard taking this equipment down to do so.

At one time there was discussion about 7" touchscreen pc. Archie is there any chance this could happen in the future? I'm interested in switching one of me customers (an equipment oem) from from a non-pc hmi but if I do it needs to be something that will be around for awhile. thanks.

Support Questions / problem with Meter Expansion Pack 3.99y beta
« on: December 25, 2018, 08:15:05 AM »
I'm trying to use the LinearMeterH and LinearMeterV components and keep getting an error at runtime.
The component works fine and then posts the error 'Invalid Slc/Micro address - 30'. It's cyclic and repeats every few seconds.
I used the files from the root of the extracted folder.

Open Discussion / Which method should I use?
« on: April 07, 2018, 05:09:17 PM »
I have a project coming up that will poll 16 modbus devices with a total of about 500 tags every 5 minutes and write the values to a sql database.
What is the fastest method of reading this much data? Datasubcriber2? Raw reads? I'm not strong in VB so I want to go down the right path and only do this once.
I tried creating another process that only gets called every 5 minutes from a timer on the mainform and reads raw data like :
myvar = (MainformName.ModbusDriver.Read("40003)) and it all works fine, I just don't know if this is the best and fastest solution.
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Open Discussion / RsLinx - Rswho failure
« on: January 08, 2018, 09:58:00 AM »
I've been working on a new AHMI project and I installed the new version of Visual Studio Community 2017, sqlserver express 2017 and sql server management studio. All that works fine. My problem is that when I open RsLinx I get a message that says 'Rswho failed.. either out of memory, no disk space...etc...
I have uninstalled sqlserver and sqlserver management studio, downloaded the latest version of rxlinx, deleted the harmony files, etc..
Any ideas???

Support Questions / Big Scada?
« on: November 06, 2017, 09:56:15 AM »
I'm looking for opinions here. I am looking at replacing an existing data acquisition system and I'm looking at Advanced HMI as an option. I am interested in it because of the ability to connect to sql and also because of this great forum!
So the current system has about 30 forms, about 1500 data points acquired from 16 different locations via modbus. Much of the data is shared between forms and there are additionally about 50 or so calculated data points. The average number of data points per form will average around 20 or so with the largest having around 40.
My question really is whether Advanced HMI can handle this load. The conversion will be very labor intensive which my customer is fine with; I just don't want to get near the end and find out that it's not going to work. I have very little experience with this product so I don't have enough real world experience with it to have an opinion of my own.
Any comments/ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Support Questions / Error trying to run application
« on: December 18, 2016, 08:51:02 PM »
I just installed Visual Studio Community 2015 and downloaded Advanced HMI. This is my first time using either of them so I hardly know where to start. I was able to setup to talk to 2 Allen Bradley micrologix units without any problems. then after adding several components I started getting this error: An error occurred while signing: The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.
I also got an error about signtool.exe not being in a folder that was label V7 as if it were expecting windows 7? I did install signtool.exe and copied it to that folder but my problem with the 'os platform' error continues.
I am given the option to run the last successful build and it works fine but I can't find any differences.
Any help is much appreciated.
thanks,
mark
