Support Questions / EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom Multiple Computer Access

« on: May 21, 2021, 01:21:57 PM »

Hello,

I have created a dashboard of various metrics that my coordinators post in a production report every hour.

We are pulling data off of a Micrologix 1200 microcontroller through a 1761-NET-ENI ethernet device.

I am utilizing the EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom driver to pull the data into a Visual Studio VB.net program.

The issue I'm facing is that it appears only one person can have a program open that receives live data.

If I have the program running on my computer and my coordinator tries to open it up, all of the data that is shown with the various AdvancedHMI control components will not update until I exit out of it on my computer.

I'm not sure if this is a limitation of my hardware, but is there a way that we can both access the data simultaneously on our computers?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated

Archie,

Thanks for your response, I was unaware a newer beta version was out but I found it through the search and now have 399yBeta36.

I've created a new program with the update and am testing it out tonight.

Can't wait to utilize the other new features as well!

Support Questions / Visual Studio - Values Getting Stuck

« on: November 15, 2020, 08:29:03 PM »

Good Evening All,

I created an application in visual studio that displays a product count on a digital panel meter. On the hour I am logging this data to a Microsoft Access server to generate a report on hourly throughput.

Occasionally when I check on the software running, I realize that the values on the screen are not changing. Whenever I close out of the application and restart it, the program will re-initialize the connection to the SLC and my values will again begin updating and there is a substantial gap between the number I had before re-initializing.

I am wondering a few things:

1) How can I stop the user form from "freezing" the values
2) What could be causing this to happen? Connection timing out?
3) Is there anything I can introduce into my code to periodically "Refresh" / "Re-Initialize" the connection to the SLC using the driver?

I am using the SerialDF1forSLCMicroCom driver to connect to a DH+ asset. I have no problem connecting and never see any communication errors on my basic labels whenever initially launching the program.

Hoping to find a fix on here so I can quit losing valuable data. Any and all information is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Archie,

DH+ is Octal I did not realize that AHMI was decimal

After switching the target node to 9 it worked!

Thank you very much for your help!

I'm seeing "AdvancedHMIV35"

And yes you are correct I have configured a KF2 module

We are using an Equustek DL4500 module and we have previously logged data of all nodes through excel successfully with the attached driver configuration

Support Questions / RSLinx Classic OEM Node Connection

« on: September 05, 2019, 10:56:42 AM »

Good Morning,

I currently am able to pull information from our SLC 5/03 in AdvancedHMI. I am only able to do this from node 1 (see attached screenshot of RSLinx Classic OEM)

However, whenever I try to pull information from the SLC with node 11 I am unsuccessful in my attempt.

These are both showing up on my RSLinx DH+ network and I am getting communication from node 11 looking at the data monitor.

Is there something that I am missing when configuring pulling data from another node?

Any and all information would be greatly appreciated
