Awesome!
I changed it to 500
  '* Avoid a 0 poll rate
        If PollRate <= 0 Then
            PollRate = 500
        End If
and it seemed to work.
Thanks
You Rock!

No read Writes, just monitoring N values and B3 bits

I looked at the code, and there is a "Me.Read", but no "Me.BeginRead" that I could find.
     '23-OCT-11 Moved before the next 4 lines
                                    Me.Read(GroupedSubscriptionReads(i).TagName, GroupedSubscriptionReads(i).NumberToRead)
                                    'elapsed = timer.ElapsedMilliseconds

The laptop communicates fine through RSLinx AB_ETHIP, so I don't think that it is my IP settings, but I'm not sure.
What I am not familiar with is the fact that the there are two Internet Protocols:
Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and  Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
I have not been changing the  Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)

Support Questions / Windows 7 and AdvancedHMI

« on: November 18, 2014, 03:40:40 PM »

I have a simple application that was running great on my old WindowsXP laptop, but when I installed it on a new Windows 7  Thinkpad machine, I get Communication issues.
Version 3.5.8
The error across the screen is Send QueFull may have lost connection.
In the Internet Protocol section of the Laptop, I change the IP address on Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to XX.XX.X.1
The laptop connects to the Compactlogix fine, but I wasn't sure if there is something that I should do differently with Win 7 compared to XP?
The Windows XP laptop connects fine using the same AdvancedHMI Shortcut.
Thanks for any suggestions

I tried MainProgram.MyArray[94], but no luck.
What would I use to read the value of 7812 (MyArray[94])?
maybe you can tell from the photo?

I was messing around with a Compactlogix processor, and I found that if I try to read a Program tag, I get an error.
Invalid Tag Address. CIP Status4

Controller tags work fine.
My solution is to Copy the Program tag array in the PLC over to a controller tag array.
I then referenced the controller tag because I know that works.

AdvancedHMIv35'

Is there something else that I could have done in order to read Program tags?

Not sure if I am reading this correct.
Have you tried using a Basic Label instead of the Digital panel meter?

Application Showcase / Monitoring a machine with an iPhone

« on: March 21, 2013, 12:53:25 PM »

I can monitor my machine on my iPhone.
The Iphone already has VPN settings, I just had to enter in the values.

Then I downloaded the Remote Desktop app: http://www.mochasoft.dk/iphone_rdp.htm.
I used the Free version, and it works fine.

Oh, and the IT guy is a friend of mine, so he set me up with a virtual XP machine on the server, so I don't have to Lock my own desktop.
Works over WiFi, or with Cellular Data.
I haven't measured how much Data that it uses over Cellular yet.
PLC: Micrologix 1400
EtherNet/IP
I learned about AdvancedHMI over at PLCS.net http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=66071
