So far this is probably one of the easiest HMI applications that I have used so far , for building HMI's.  Some pretty impressive HMI's can be built without  or very little knowledge of VB . Not a lot of bugs and Archie seems to fix them pretty quick if one appears.

Is there way to scale a value for digital panel meter , really don't have the option of changing the program to do it , that would be
too simple
example  (-32768 to 32767)  to  (-200 to 850)

Support Questions / Basic Label Highlighted

« on: March 16, 2017, 09:36:28 PM »

I have a label  that is visible all the time  , used in several places on the same page but i only want to light certain ones with a different bit at different times Can that easily be done

example

If PLCAddressHighlighted = b3/100 is true and PLCAddressHighlighted2 is not used the Label is highlighted
or
If PLCAddressHighlighted = b3/100 is true and PLCAddressHighlighted2 = b3/101 is true the label will be highlighted - If b3/101 is false the label will not be highlighted


PLCAddressHighlighted = b3/100
PLCAddressHighlighted2 = b3/101
PLCAddressKeypad =
PLCAddressvalue=
PLCAddressvisable =

        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            If m_PLCAddressClickLeft <> value Then
                m_PLCAddressClickLeft = value

Support Questions / PLC comms driver

« on: February 17, 2017, 11:21:24 AM »

I have 6 identical machines , none have HMI's , all have a drop to one  Ethernet switch . I built one hmi to run on a laptop with 7 pages , All my pages have the driver IP's starting with the  same IP address. On each page I have a button to force a specific IP into the PLC driver for any of the 6 machines I want to view, Is there way to change the IP on the fly from the startup page that will change it on all pages at once .
