Open Discussion / Re: Routing Paths in New Version of AdvancedHNI dlls
« on: March 14, 2017, 05:54:11 PM »
Thanks for trying it.
My problem is that I am using 2 CompactLogix PLCs in a network environment and I use Tags instead of registers.
What I cannot understand is why the versions prior of r work so beautifully while the new versions of AdvancedHMIDrivers.dll all fail.
I tried what Archie suggested in addressing the tags like Program:BM2180.PID_PV instead of just PID_PV. none of the versions could recognize or handle it.
Something has definitely changed in EthernetIPforCLXCom class from version r to .....w.

Archie:
The tags are correct and my application has been working since November, but with the old version of the 2 libraries.
The only thing I do to my application is copying the latest version of 2 dlls to the debug folder of my application and run it.
I have no problem with the dlls created before Sept. 22 of 2016 but not release w.

Open Discussion / Routing Paths in New Version of AdvancedHNI dlls
« on: March 14, 2017, 02:46:58 PM »
Archie:
I want to thank you for the great job you have done developing AdavancedHMI controls and dlls.
I have been using the old version (before r or may be t) of your AdvancedHMIDrivers.dll and MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.dll in my VB.net 2010 to read 2 Tags off AB CompactLogix PLCs. Here are the statements I use in my code to Read 2 Tags off 2 PLCs:
Imports AdvancedHMIDrivers
Public Class MainForm
Public AbPLc(2) As EthernetIPforCLXCom
Private Sub MainForm_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
AbPLc(1) = New EthernetIPforCLXCom
AbPLc(1).IPAddress = "192.168.1.207"
AbPLc(1).Timeout = 1000
AbPLc(2) = New EthernetIPforCLXCom
AbPLc(2).IPAddress = "192.168.1.204"
AbPLc(2).Timeout = 1000
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim DataStr As String
Try
DataStr = AbPLc(1).Read(Tag1.Text)
Lab1.Text = DataStr
Application.DoEvents()
DataStr = AbPLc(2).Read(Tag2.Text)
Lab2.Text = DataStr
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
End Class
As soon as I replace the above 2 dlls with their new version v, or w, I get the error message”
“Read Failed. Path Segment Error (Invalid Tag Name), Status Error=4”
It is my understanding that as of version 3.99r only Ethernet card routing is available. My problem is that I do not know what Routing Path I should use to make my application work with the latest version of dlls.
I can ping the 2 IP address and I have access through Rslogix5000 or Linx but not with the latest version of your AdvancedHMI.libraries.
Any help that you can provide me to make my application work with version w is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Open Discussion / EthernetIPforCLXCom problem with New releases after version r
« on: March 14, 2017, 02:12:29 PM »
Archie:
Thanks a lot for the great job you have done. I love your dlls and controls that you have created. Currently, I am using your AdavncedHMIDirivers and MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.dll (earlier version before 9/22/2016) with AB CompactLogix PLCs. It works beautifully with the old version dlls but not with any of the new ones. I even tested my VB.Net 2010 program with the latest version (w) and have the same problem. I get the error "Read Failed. Path Segment Error (Invalid Tag Name". Status Code=4" but as soon as I copy the old dlls and place them in debug folder, it works again.
It is my understanding that as of version 3.99r only Ethernet card routing is available.
The question that I have is what changes do I have to make so that my program works with the latest releases of AdvancedHMI libraries? I have never used RoutePath property. I have to PLCs in my network and In can ping every one of them. Here is the code I have in my VB.Net
Imports AdvancedHMIDrivers
Public Class MainForm
Public AbPLc As EthernetIPforCLXCom
Private Sub MainForm_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
AbPLc(1) = New EthernetIPforCLXCom
AbPLc(1).IPAddress = "172.22.131.207"
AbPLc(1).Timeout = 500
'AbPLc(2) = New EthernetIPforCLXCom
'AbPLc(2).IPAddress = "172.22.131.204"
' AbPLc(2).Timeout = 500
End Sub
