that appears to be it.
Is there a modification I can make to the driver so that it can communicate string values?

Its no problem Archie, I appreciate your development and replies. A lot.

the error occurs before I click on the label, then it goes away. If I click on the label the keypad comes up and if I enter something into it and click the "enter" button it will show me the error again and then the error will disappear until I try it again (click on it and try entering something).

So...before And After a click.

A programmer in our office isn't very familiar with MS products, but said that "you're performing a click action on a form element" and that was the issue.....but it does come up before any click interaction.

The error is being generated when I run the program......I have not done any programming since my visual basic class in college, so this is a bit beyond me.

When I close out of the running program demo/debug I get this in the visual studio console output:

Support Questions / text box to string

« on: July 14, 2014, 05:43:13 PM »

Hi!

I think my question might be answered by the basic label manual. I can't download it anymore by going to my account? it shows I have 2 downloads left.

anyway, my question is pretty basic. I want to have a text field that can have text entered into it....and it will be stored in a string (say, ST9:0 ) on my micrologix 1100.

how would I go about doing this?


Also, I saw a really great little video demo on here where a gent had integrated a password into his program. How would I start with doing this.

I really appreciate your time, and I love this program so far......I just wish there was a beginners manual for it!

I am a begginner at this and would love your help.

Thankyou,

« on: July 08, 2014, 12:35:47 PM »

I guess I actually figured out I can do some of this with the pilot light. the only thing I would like is the pilot light to read the state of the bit on start up.

Im guessing I enter something into the PLCAddressValue field? 

I have the pilot light controlling B3:0/1  by PLCAddressClick.

Support Questions / Color change on click

« on: July 08, 2014, 11:49:39 AM »

Hey Guys,

I bought the basic label manual and the button/meter pack, and I see how to add code to change the color of text etc. based on a value, but what would I use to change a button color
based on whether or not it has been clicked/the value of the bit in the plc. (the value of the bit in the plc would be better).

I just want a button to show the state basically.

Hey guys,

I am completely new to PLC in the last few months. I am trying to setup this HMI and having some issues.

I am using a micrologix 1100 and rslogix 500.

I have some inputs I am trying to make into buttons on the HMI.

I have an e-stop and a power on switch. how would I enter the addresses for these into the HMI?

Is there a manual for this?

your help is very appreciated, and if you need any more info from me I will provide it!
