Hi all,
I have installed few months ago the version 3.99 and now I am testing it for create a Test Scada. I bought all additional graphic library control on website and frankly speaking everything is easy and well done. Now I would like customize the graphics of some components such as SimpleLed. In the facts I would like replace only the graphic with a proximity sensor graphic. I am able to create 2 png or jpg graphic files with differente state ON and state OFF graphics, but I don't know where put these 2 files. I have read some topic like
https://www.advancedhmi.com/forum/index.php?topic=185.msg542#msg542
but unfortunately I am not able to reach my goal. If someone could point me to the solution it would be great.
Thank you all in advance
Lucky

Hi all, one additional thing concerning the returned value on funcion

Code: [Select]

Public Function Write(startAddress As String, dataToWrite As String) As String Implements MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.IComComponent.Write
        Dim temp(0) As String
        temp(0) = dataToWrite
        Write(startAddress, 1, temp)
        Return ("1")
        'Return Write(startAddress, 1, temp)
    End Function


Instead of Return("1") as string, we can jus modify the original

Code: [Select]

Return Write(startAddress, 1, temp) converting the result in a string like this

Code: [Select]

    Public Function Write(startAddress As String, dataToWrite As String) As String Implements MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.IComComponent.Write
        Dim temp(0) As String
        temp(0) = dataToWrite
        Write(startAddress, 1, temp)
        'Return ("1")
        Return Write(startAddress, 1, temp).ToString()
    End Function
ciao

Hi all and thanks to Tatin for the integration and thanks to Archie for great AdvancedHmi Project.
I tried to install and use snap7 following all indications written in this thread, but it didn't work for me. I have windows 8 64bit and visual studio 2015.

I suggest to all to make these amending on file SiemensCom.vb:

1) change the return datatype of Write function to string instead of integer as below:

Code: [Select]

Public Function Write(startAddress As String, dataToWrite As String) As String Implements MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.IComComponent.Write
        Dim temp(0) As String
        temp(0) = dataToWrite
        Write(startAddress, 1, temp)
        Return ("1")
        'Return Write(startAddress, 1, temp)
    End Function2) Chenge the return line

Pay attention

Code: [Select]

Return("1") is a compromise because the function

Code: [Select]

MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.IComComponent.Write returns back a string.

For easy use, in the attached file the amended SiemensCom.vb

Now I can use snap7. Easy to read and write DB, Merker, Coils etc... for example if you want set to 1 the Merker M18.2 using a BasicButton, you need just to select SetTrue the OutputType and fill M18.2 in the field PLCAddressClick.

Moreover I want underline the powerful of snap7 if compared with modbus. For example, writing a single bit inside a word with modbus, we need to read word, change it and send it back with the risk of data corruption. Snap7 has native fuction for single bit set/reset.

Best Regards e ciao Luciano
