Support Questions / Re: Ethercat variable latency

« on: November 13, 2018, 05:30:09 PM »

Hi
I use the same PC to program the PLC with Twincat  3 and it also runs the HMI. How can I program both and run and debug the advancedhmi software? I don't want to stop the Twincat all the time...

Support Questions / Ethercat variable latency

« on: November 13, 2018, 09:11:12 AM »

Hi
I am using the AdvancedHMI C# project. Just started a new project, added an ethercat adapter, and i can see the variable in the PLC. The problem is there is a 10 second delay from the real value of the variable, until I see it on the HMI.
I use port 851, there is just a regular cable between the PLC and the PC.

What could be the issue of this latency/ delay?

Thanks

Support Questions / Build errors when I add an advancedHMI control

« on: February 14, 2018, 08:53:26 AM »

Hi
I am using the latest AdvancedHMI version with C#. (AdvancedHMIv399x)
I have both VS 2013 and VS Community 2017.

When I don't change the original project files that came inside the ZIP, the project builds fine and runs the empty black form.
When I add a control, doesn't matter which one, I get lots of compilation errors:
(in both VS versions)
The problem does not occur when I run version AdvancedHMIv399w.

Severity   Code   Description   Project   File   Line   Suppression State
Error   CS0012   The type 'EthernetIPforCLX' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced.

What could be the problem

Support Questions / ESP8266 wifi + advancedHMI

« on: June 18, 2017, 05:40:18 PM »

I am using the ESP8266 wifi IC that sends simple TCP strings to my PC with a known port. I can catch these strings and print them with a simple C# program.
My question is, can I use AdvancedHMI without any PLC connection, but still be able to use one or two of the gauges to update from the data I send to the TCP connection I have with the ESP8266?

thanks

If I run it in the local computer, I set the OPCServerPath = opcda://localhost  (the default setting)

and the error I get in the digital meter is : "failed OPC subscription start (OpcDaCom)"

Yes, on a different computer.
I also ran the UA expert free PLC client program on the remote PC where advancedHMI is located and it discovered the Codesys OPC with no problem.

Do I need to run it on the same computer? and then set 127.0.0.1 as the IP?

Open Discussion / OPC With Codesys V3 - doesn't work

« on: May 01, 2017, 04:54:12 AM »

I am trying for almost a week to get Codesys V3 opc server to work with OPCDACOM driver in AdvacnedHmi but no success.
I tried to link the digital meter PLCAdressValue to the variable but the error I get, which appears as a text field on the digital meter is "CoCreateInstanceEx : access is denied" and after few seconds, it turns into "object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I checked with UA EXPERT free OPC client and the server in Codesys is running and I can read the variables.
my settings:
OPCServer in the OpcDaComx is CoDeSys.OPC.DA
OPCServer Patch in the OpcDaComx is   opcda://192.168.0.3:4840

PLCAdressValue in digital meter: PLC_GW3..Speed1         where PLC_GW3 is the server name according to Codesys OPC Configurator.   Speed1 is the name of the variable.

PLEASE HELP!!!
