Title: instantiate a AdvancedHMIDrivers
Post by: frutuopa on October 04, 2019, 12:55:28 PM

Hello

Can y do that ?

        Dim vnomedavariavel As String = "TotalCiclos"
        Dim ETHIPCLX As New AdvancedHMIDrivers.EthernetIPforCLXCom

        ETHIPCLX.IPAddress = "151.93.93.148"



        Dim bl As New AdvancedHMIControls.BasicLabel
        bl.ComComponent = ETHIPCLX
        bl.PLCAddressValue = vnomedavariavel

        bl.AutoSize = True


        Me.Controls.Add(bl)
        bl.Visible = True

I always have a message:

INVALID TAG NAME

but if I do it in design mode I have no problems.

Can you help me?
Thanks

Is this the exact message "INVALID TAG NAME" or does it also include something like CIP error 4 ?

On the basic label i have the message Path Segment Error[Invalid Tag Name]

Thanks

Your tag doesn't exist in the PLC. A Path Segment Error is a response from the PLC saying it can't find the tag specified.

Notice the file I send you.
The variable exists ... I have no doubt.
Thank you for your answer.

- Open your form in Design view
- Double click in a blank area on the form
- Paste in this code:

Code: [Select]

        Dim t() As MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.CLXTag
        t = EthernetIPforCLXCom1.GetTagList(60000)
        Using sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter(".\TagList.txt")
            For i = 0 To t.Length - 1
                sw.WriteLine(t(i).TagName)
            Next
        End Using

- Run the application
- Close the application
- Browse to AdvancedHMI\bin\Debug
- Post the file TagList.txt on this forum

- In design view select your driver instance
- Post a screen shot of the properties of the driver

In your code, change this:

bl.ComComponent = ETHIPCLX

to

bl.ComComponent = EthernetIPForClxCom1

Is this a statement or a question?

Every PLC normally has its own driver instance.

Technically everything is done in code. The designer is writing code in the designer.vb files when you add things to the form.
