Hi Archie, Godra. I have given it a go with a clean project, the first page has no problem in sending/receiving values. The 2nd page the Digital Panel Meter indicates that there is no response from the PLC. The driver is exactly the same as for page 1, SerialDF1forPLC5Com1, with the same settings.

I have attached the Serial Log File as requested. (the date was too large for this post)

Thanks again for your help.

Steve

Thanks Archie for your support, I did exactly as your instructions, I also deleted checksumoptions and outputtype, this allowed me to start the program without any errors. I was then able to connect to the PLC and gained communication, then for some reason, after I disconnected to I have been unable to gain communication again, when I attempt to connect I can see the Rx/Tx LED's flash on the Null modem connected to the PLC but no data transfer. Again any suggestions I would be very grateful

Thanks again Archie.

Hi Archie, thanks very much for your support, I have successfully corrected the errors with your suggestion, although 89 errors have also occurred. The main errors are the 'CommComponent' attributed to each basic label, so if I could understand what is going on with the first ones I'm sure I'll be able to rectify the others.

BC30456 - 'CommComponent' is not a member of 'AnimatingPictureBox'.
BC30456 - 'CommComponent' is not a member of 'DigitalPanelMeter'.
BC30456 - 'CommComponent' is not a member of 'DigitalPanelMeter'.

BC30456 - 'ChecksumOptions' is not a member of 'DF1Transport'.
BC30456 - 'SynchronizingObject' is not a member of 'SerialDF1forSLCMicroCom'.
BC30456 - 'OutputType' is not a member of 'SelectorSwitch3Pos'.
BC30506    - Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types.

Unfortunately I do not have enough experience with VB for me to rectify the faults alone

Thanks again

Steve

Hi Archie, I am using version 399d, I have been unable as of yet to migrate over to the newer version, I am still tackling that option, I have read on here your method of upgrading and adding a project to the newer version, it does seem to be a bit tricky clearing the faults.  Do I need to upgrade to the newer version in order to have a 2nd page running.

Hi Godra, I am connecting to an AB SLC 5/04 via the RS232 terminal

Support Questions / Additional Pages fail to communicate with the PLC

« on: September 28, 2016, 08:47:08 AM »

I have created a second page to my project with the 'change form button' which works fine, I am able to toggle between pages 1 and 2 with no difficulty. The problem I am having is that I am unable to gain communication to the buttons on the second page from the PLC.
I have tried the same buttons (tested with the digital panel meter) on the first page with no problem, the comm component,  the plc address ComPort, the communication is ok, but when the components are loaded onto the second page I am unable to achieve communication with the PLC.
I have tried different switches, meters etc and different addresses, I am using the correct communication DF1Com1 via RS232.
Any ideas I would be really grateful
 
Thanks
 
Steve
ps. I would like to thank Archie for a great program.
