Support Questions / Serial Data

« on: October 15, 2015, 09:07:25 AM »

Hi Archie:
I'm looking at an application that would have pressure test results on RS232 or TCP/IP (telnet). The goal is to grab pass/fail data and save it to an MS Access database along with other PLC sensor information. The PLC would be an AB 1766-L32BXBA which I have already used successfully with AdvancedHMI.  Would you suggest I bring p-test data in through PLC serial port or use VB to bring directly into the PC either serial or telnet? Thanks.

Archie:
Wanted to let you know everything is working. When adding a duplicate visual control on a screen, do I need to change it's name? Thanks again.

Thanks Archie for the guidance. Seems to be building without errors now. I will probably be asking more questions once I actually start using! Bill

I noticed that I can open the VBPROJ file in AdvancedHMI but not the SLN file since it says "created with newer version" and I am using VB Express 2010. Does this matter? Is so, do you know workaround? I have verified the keyence activex control works in 2010 but not 2013.

Thanks Archie:
I am getting errors when I try to build AdvancedHMI in VB Express 10 that it cannot find Controls or Drivers. Tried to build them first, no luck yet. Also added file loacations in references in each. Is there a specific file location for the AdvancedHMI project? I realize this is probably all due to my lack of VB experience, but sure would appreciate a little guidance.

Just received reply from Keyence, "According to our most updated manual, the Active X package is compatible with
VB 6.0, VB 2005, VB 2008, and VB 2010.  I would assume VB 2013 would be fine,but have no way to confirm as we are working with VB 2008."

I am wanting to use your HMI with AB compactlogix and Keyence camera controller. I installed Visual Studio 2013 Community. When trying to add COM Component, VWXG Control (Keyence camera control Active X), get message "added...but not enabled". Keyence documentation says compatible with VB2010. Any workarounds or do you have earlier AdvancedHMI software that will run on VB2010? Thanks much.
