Support Questions / Re: Alarms Logging?

Good stuff thank you all, I was able to get this to work for my application with the following modifications.  For the events section I had to change DisplayMessageByValue to MyBase, other than that it worked great.

Code: [Select]

Protected Overrides Sub OnTextChanged(e As System.EventArgs)
        MyBase.OnTextChanged(e)

        If m_LogFile <> "" Then
            If Me.Text <> "" Then
                Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter(m_LogFile & "\ALARM" & Format(Now(), "MMddyyyy") & ".txt", True)
                sw.WriteLine(DateString & "     " & TimeOfDay & "     " & MyBase.Text)
                sw.Close()
            End If

            For Each file As IO.FileInfo In New IO.DirectoryInfo(LogFile).GetFiles("*.txt")
                If (Now - file.CreationTime).Days >= m_DaysToKeep Then file.Delete()
            Next

        End If
    End Sub

Thank you for posting your code, it gives me a good starting point.  Once I get my end working I will post my code if you are interested.

Has anybody created any sort of active or archived alarm list within AdvancedHMI?  I need to create something similar for my current project and was curious if anyone has already done something similar.

Apparently I messed up the bit numbers.  When I checked I must have been looking at the index numbers not the bit number.  Thank you.

Support Questions / DisplayMessageDisplayByBit issues.

I have a DisplayMessageByBit component on a form that shows the machine status.  The issue that I am having is the component will only display the first 3 messages out of 7.  I have it on its own dedicated driver as I thought it might have been a conflict with the other controls, but that did not help.  Any idea's?

Any other ideas to write a string to the PLC?

Archie,

Any idea why the Keypad won't accept a hyphon?

Ok I answered my own question.  For anyone looking to do the same thing from the solution explorer copy the control then paste it back into the same area with a new name.  After you do that then rename the PublicClass to something different and rebuild the solution.  Thank you Archie for your help on this issue.

I removed the divide by ScaleFactor in that line of code and am able to get it to work.  Is there an easy way to copy and paste the controls to create a new control with the modified line so I can continue to use both types?

m-PLCAddressKeypad  value is "Test_Text"  the tag in my CompactLogix controller.   KeypadPopUp.Value is "M077210"  the text that I inputted via the keyboard.  At that point in the code I see that you divide by the ScaleFactor  perhaps it is trying to convert the string to a number for the arithmatic.

ScaleFActor was set to 1.  I tried with 0 but that just makes the value display as 0.  When inputing text it does not error out though, but it won't update the register in the PLC.  As far as the Min and Max values they are both 0.

My HMI does have a keyboard.  When I try to input data via the keypad it produces an error "Failed to write value - Conversion from string "CH11058 2146832" to type 'Double' is not valid".  Also this method does not allow me to use a hyphon.  Example input "CH11058   214-6832"

Does anyone know if there is a way to manipulate string data with a basic label or other control?  Something similar to the way you can do numeric input.  I am currently developing an HMI project where the operator will need to modify data in a "string" format.  The project will communicate with both SLC's and Compactlogix controllers over IP.
