Support Questions / Re: Project will not "start" on new PC

OK, figured it out :-)

It apparently installes on the PC - has that always been the case?

Anyhow! Controlpanel - uninstall AdvancedHMI and I was able to run the setup from its new location :-)

Support Questions / Project will not "start" on new PC

« on: November 12, 2015, 08:14:21 AM »

Hi All!

I developed a HMI a couple of years ago and it has been running flawlesly since.
Now the complete exebition stand has vanished during transport from Denmark to Germany :-(

I am setting up a new PC and will travel to Germany to set up the new system. Since there have been no changes I just copied the project to a USB stick and moved it to the new PC. Now I guess my problem came because I double clicked the Setup file on the USB stick, instead of moving it the the harddrive first. It ran without any problems, but now I have moved the project to the harddrive and when I try to start (using the Setup file again) I get the following error message:

"you cannot start application advancedHMI from this location because it is already installed from another location"

The new PC is running Win7 Proff. 64 bit and is a MSI mini PC and I'm using v3.6.1 of AdvancedHMI

What went wrong? And how can I fix it?

Thanks,

Michal

Support Questions / Re: Project keeps Crashing when I build

Hi Archie!

I'll try that in the future, it just seemd like a nice and easy way. But since I still get a folder and 2 "programs" , I might as well copy the project - size wise it does not seem to matter either.

BTW!
I work at a company employing a great deal of software developers for embedded software and yesterday my Project Manager invited a bunch of our colleagues to see the finished result. A couple of them were genuinely impressed with the HMI I had build, SO hat off to you and your team :-)

Thanks for the support.

Best regards,

Michal

I am able to Publish my project :-)

But when building it I get this Warning:

Warning   1   Assembly 'support\MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Controls.dll' is incorrectly specified as a file.   AdvancedHMI

It has come up a few times in the forum here and at PLCs.net, but no real solution?

Hi All!

Thanks for the suggestions.

With Crashing I did mean it crashed - the VB studio just shut down.

BUT after deleting the Obj and Bin files it stopped crashing - Great!

The ZIP'ed file is still about 9 MB, but still less than 15 MB.

And as for writing to tags....
In RSLogix5000 til LIM function limits for values from that value...

I wanted to make sure that my SetupNumber was never anything else than 1, 2 or 3, so I set my limits as this:
Low Lim = 1
High Lim = 3
Move SetupNumber to PLC_Tag

Low Lim = 3
High Lim = 1
Move 1 to PLC_Tag

And of course every time I wrote 1, it would "overwrite" that value with 1. If I wrote 2 it would be fine and if I wrote 3 it would be "overwritten" with a 1.
But I only saw the error at 3 as I could not see the difference between 1 and 1 (hmmm).

The next question from me would then be:

Can I make a exe file of my project that will run on another PC? Without VB Studio installed?

Best regards,

Michal

Hi Guys!

Building my first AdvancedHMI project and I have run into problems.

It started out realle great Archie pointed me to how I could do a graph of my motor current, then I just went from there. Trying to write values to integer/double Integer as well as bit tags in my CompactLogix PLC and that is when it went down the drain.

If I comment out all code it is able to build and run, but as soon as I try to enable any code it crashes.

AND When I zip my project it is 15MB!!! What do I need to make a version I can attach here?

I have attached the two pages with the VB code, in case it can help?

Best regards,

Michal
