Support Questions / Re: AvdHMI + AB micro820

« on: March 02, 2014, 12:42:52 PM »

Thanks for the rapid reply Archie,
I have been running a combination of Scilab (with ModbusTCP) and DDE to Excel successfully.
The u820 modbus mapping has the registers at 40100. But Scilab gets these at modbus address 100.

Can you please explain the significance of PLCAddressText, PLCAddressValue, and PLCAddressVisible
in the panel meter properties?

I gather that the concept of TAGS is somewhat obsolete. The u800 series has variable names for
all the registers mapped in modbus.

So should I be using the variable name, full address e.g. 40100, or just 100, in the panel
meter properties (I've tried them all to no effect)?

An suggestions for where I can look in the source code to debug this?

Cheers,
Steve

I'd love to see AdvHMI working.
Set up a counter (Int) running on u820 (IP 192.168.10.99) and map this to 40100. Tried EthernetIPforCLXCom and ModbusTcpCom with IPAddress = 192.168.10.99, and DigitalPanelMeter with PLCAddressText =40100, PLCAddressValue =40100, PLCAddressVisible =40100.
Seems to be running but always 0 on DigitalPanelMeter.
What am I doing wrong? How to debug?

Thanks in anticip,
Steve
