Thank you.

About a flag that indicates the plc communication status, there is any function or bit?

Thanks

Open Discussion / [MicroLogix] Read PLC Values

« on: September 22, 2019, 02:44:27 PM »

Hi all,

I am using a MicroLogix 1100 by EthernetIP communication (so, i am using the EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom driver).

My application has 5 pages, and in each page I need read differents variables each 2 seconds. The maximum variables number is 100 INT.

So, what is the best choice to read this 100 INT? The DataSubscriber or use a Timer (Windows Component) and each 2 seconds read variables with PLC.Read() function ?

Another question, how I can detect that PLC is disconnected? I need a flag/bit/int that indicates the PLC Communication state.

Thank you,

Support Questions / Chart with MicroLogix

« on: July 14, 2019, 12:17:45 PM »

Hello all,

I am using a MicroLogix 1100 and I need show a chart with last 1000 values of two variables.

I searched but I am a little confused. I need use a datalogger and after chart the .log values or I can use a ChartbySampling and define the PLC Variables in Properties->Misc->PLCAddressItems ?

Thank you!

The EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom driver handles everything for you. It does not require RSLinx

You will need to add a driver for each PLC you want to communicate with so you can set unique IPAddresses. You then use ComComponent property of the controls to tell which driver instance to pull data from.

Great! Thank you by your fast answer.

And... take the topic for another question: AdvancedHMI has any driver/module/solution to send SMS to a cell phone?

Thank you

Support Questions / Communication with MicroLogix 1100

Hello,

First of all, great project and solution!

In past I worked a lot with AB ControlLogix and CompactLogix, communicating with HMI Rockwell devices
Now, I want use the AdvancedHMI with a MicroLogix1100 PLC. I read many topics in forum, but I do not find an answers for my questions:

1) MicroLogix documentation, for Ethernet Protocols: "EtherNet/IP messaging only". Explicit or implicit messaging? I need implement MSG instructions in PLC program? Or AdvancedHMI, with EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom driver, establish a CIP communication and read/write variables in PLC withou PLC program?
2) If I use the "EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom" driver I need install a RSLInx Classic in HMI computer?
3) I can connect many PLC MicroLogix1100 in same switch, connected with AdvancedHMI, and use one EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom instance for each?

Thank you,
Best regards
