Support Questions / Re: Issue with self multiplying members for MessageByItem

« on: July 24, 2024, 10:36:26 PM »

Okay, I will see if I can dig up why its duplicating the entries. At least its narrowed downed which side maybe causing the issue. I'm not sure how well the support is from Microsoft's end to help find a solution.

Okay thanks Archie, I will give that a try. I noticed in the code itself it reports correctly the members I added but in the popup window itself that where its multiplying. I'm not sure where the disconnect is.

Support Questions / Issue with self multiplying members for MessageByItem

« on: July 17, 2024, 09:30:26 PM »

I recently had my software upgraded to the latest version 399y, which is awesome because I can use MessageByItem. However I am having a very annoying problem is every time I copy over the same component to another form it duplicated all of the members, not only that the more you copy it to another form it will duplicate the members on top of that. So I have been trying to go back and delete them after that happens. The other problem is every time I launch the AdvancedHMI now it duplicates them back. I have no idea what I am doing wrong for the members to keep multiplying. My original amount of members I am suppose to have is 146, but its in the thousands when I go look at them again. Is their a setting I am missing? This is causing severe latency problems with the application. Any help is appreciated.

Support Questions / Re: Alarm Display Creation using only Boolean Tags

Hey Archie, I'm going back through my HMIs I have created a want to integrate the MessageListByItem control tool without having to upgrade the entire project. Is their a simple way that I could just simply grab that specific tool and add it to my toolbox? Before that was created I essentially had to create a button/label in the background for every fault that could occur. This would would dramatically decrease the size of the application for me to do it with this tool.

Ahh I was able to figure it out. I didn't have to do anything special for routing. I was just able to stick with the main IPAddress and the ProcessorSlot. Thanks Archie.

Open Discussion / Understanding Routing with Communication Settings

« on: June 05, 2024, 03:14:42 AM »

I have been reading through the posts regarding routing, I'm still confused on exactly how I would write this is the Communication Settings? I have also seen in most routing post that the CIPConnectionSize needed to be changed in order for it to work. Could anyone break this down for me a little bit more? Any help is appreciated.

My current configuration (I know its incorrect)

CIPConnectionSize:508
IPAddress:10.26.240.183
ProcessorSlot:0
RoutePath: 192.168.1.40 (which is Slot 3, I'm trying to connect to.)

The way it is written, all of the Data Types are Boolean and I do not see where it falls under a bigger structure as suggested. I'm very surprised their is not an easier option for just (true or false) or (on and off) besides trying to falling under specific bits or using integers as intended in the structure of the code. I'm pretty new to VB and understanding how the back end communication code works would probably be useful because I feel like I'm just trying to get this working in the dark. Simply put my goal is when this value in the PLC is true post this message and when it is not remove the message. For context I have worked/programmed on Siemens Desigo and Ignition's Scada.

Support Questions / Alarm Display Creation using only Boolean Tags

« on: December 12, 2023, 12:47:18 AM »

I have been looking through all the forms trying to find the best way to have an alarm display using strictly boolean tags. The problem is I have 150 alarms I need to create. I dont know if I am using the MessageListByValue incorrectly or it simply will not work with that. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have already collected all the tags and wrote all the messages I want to display to the corresponding tag when true. Following that more than one condition can be true at a time so I would to show various Alarm messages at once.

I was curious if I could index my tags 1 -150 and then have the following messages be displayed when true.

Thanks in Advance
