I've got an error message if I had these lines of code :

Code: [Select]



            var _msg = driver.Read( "d0", 1 );            Console.WriteLine( _msg );




An unhandled exception of type 'MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.Common.PLCDriverException' occurred in AdvancedHMIDrivers.dll

Additional information: No reponse from PLC. Ensure baud rate is correct.


If I add a BasicLabel and set its address at "0" I can get the value,  but as soon as I add the Console output code, even if I didn't change the baud rate, I got this error.

at last , I finally found my problem ....
in my Main I wrote

Code: [Select]

            basicLabel1.ValueChanged += basicLabel1_ValueChanged;

and in basicLabel1_ValueChanged() I wrote

Code: [Select]

            Console.WriteLine( "basicLabel1 : " + basicLabel1.Value );

finally!!!

I did what you suggest :

• Create a C# Form project in the solution AdvancedHMI
• Insert the driver OmronEthernetFINSCom  and give if the IP address
• Create a basic label and linked it to the address 0.0 of my PLC

While executing the debug, I can see the value of the label change immediately when I toggle the button plug in the PLC address,
what is the

Code: [Select]

basicLabel1 property or method to call to acces the value of the label from the Console ?!
I tried in an

Code: [Select]

while( true )loop the code

Code: [Select]

Console.WriteLine( "basicLabel1 : " + basicLabel1.value);
( and many other properties and method but I can't see the value printed in the console..
even a basicLabel1.Refresh(); before the Console.WriteLine();   but it doesn't work

One last question about that...

If, instead of a Form I want to use a console application.

I've create and Driver Object

Code: [Select]

private static AdvancedHMIDrivers.Omron.OmronEthernetFINSCom o_IPAdress = new AdvancedHMIDrivers.Omron.OmronEthernetFINSCom();
and then give him an IP Address

Code: [Select]

   o_IPAdress.IPAddress = s_address;
Then, I got this exception throwed by OmronEthernetFINSCom.vb

Code: [Select]

IT WORKS!!!   AT LAST !!

The IP address 192.168.0.149 is the address of my Network Card  the IP address 10.10.3.40  is the address of my PLC the switch give to it ..    don't know why I haven't thought of it before !!

this is the switch I used : http://ca.dlink.com/products/connect/8-port-gigabit-desktop-switch/

if I bypass it to connect VIA an Ethernet cable my pc to my plc I will no longer connected to the internet but I'll have a direct link to my plc

yes, even if both, the server and the AdvancedHMI are off, there's still packets. I resolved the question.... I used a switch between my CPU and my PLC, the switch give my PC an internet access..

the Omron packets are between the switch and the PLC..  when I disconnect the plc from the switch and plug it in my PC, the packets stop,

but even if I bypass the switch, I cannot sniff any AdvancecHMI packets from WireShark...

« on: July 01, 2015, 10:36:18 AM »

I've install WireShark,(never use it before) set filters to Omron (since it is an Omron PLC  that I used).
I can see that the PLC (192.168.0.149) is talking (never stop !!)  with the input ID (10.10.3.40).
But when I manually toggle the button ('cause it's a button which is plugged in the PLC for my test).

I cannot see any difference of message from when the Boolean is set to True or False
Is there any way to see the message throught a network sniffer ?

Can an OPC Server blocks device that want to communicate with PLC which are plugged in ??

I'm trying to communicate with a PLC to get its datas and then write data in it.   

Probably its my addresses which aren't good, but with

• the BasicIndicator : PLCAddressSelectColor2 : <addresse of the tag (0.0)>
• even if I set the IP address of my driver omronEthernetFINSCom to be the same as the network Card :  192.168.0.149

where did I go wrong ?

i'm not sure too, since I use KEPServerEX as my OPC Server, I think it's an ID that the server give to this PLC, understanding the Server may have many other PLC

thanks for the help,  it doesn't work at all

in the properties table of the basicIndicator I haven't the tab PLCAddressValue

I'll continue my researches
