Open Discussion / Re: Reference document for AdvancedHMI

« on: September 15, 2017, 03:11:49 PM »

@timryder: Thanks. I will definitely read it! And once I know enough I would be happy to contribute as well.
@archie: Would it be possible to use a standard WinForm control, such as a TextBox for creating my own Unsigned Long UInt32 field? Are there any examples of hooking a standard WinForm control like that into the automatic periodic read/write sequence of AdvancedHMI? Or would I be better off fashioning something after the Aqua Gage?
Thanks.

Open Discussion / Reference document for AdvancedHMI

« on: September 15, 2017, 11:45:31 AM »

I'm just getting started with AdvancedHMI Modbus TCP and so far it is working great. Are there any reference documents available for AdvancedHMI that cover things such as MaxReadGroupSize and SwapWords and other things like that which are available? Also if I want to create my own ControlComponent and have it automatically send and receive data just like the the AdvancedHMIControlComponents (without using explicit reads and writes), how would I get started? Lastly is there a way to set up an AdvancedHMIControlComponent to handle Unsigned Long (UInt32)? Thanks.

Support Questions / Can I force two separate Modbus TCP read commands

« on: September 13, 2017, 04:41:26 PM »

I have two Analog Value Display control components, one with PLCAddressValue=40002 and one with PLCAddressValue=40008. AdvancedHMI issues only one read at address 40002 with length 7 registers. Can I force AdvancedHMI to issue two separate read commands, one at address 40002 and one at 40008. I have been able to use a VB button to do it like this:
        Dim V40002() As String = ModbusTCPCom1.Read("40002", 1)
        Dim V40008() As String = ModbusTCPCom1.Read("40008", 1)
but I would like to make the control components do it that way. Is there a property I can set to force two separate reads? Thanks.
