Can't get Quick Start Panel Meter to run in AHMI
« on: February 04, 2017, 02:41:10 AM »
Hey all,
Back again with problems. My setup:
  • WIN 7 PRO 64 Bit
  • VB VS 2015
  • RSLogix 500
  • AB MICROLOGIX 1000 32 PT
  • RSLinx

I have had this problem before but can't remember how Archie solved it.
After I have downloaded to PLC, run the Quick Start, I get no errors in AHNI, but I also do not get the meter to indicate the accumulater value.
Yet when I toggle the bit in Logix it increments in the ladder but not in AHMI.
I have tried it with Linx loaded and also with it shut down. No go.
I have attached screen shots of the properties, ladder and Linx files as well as the properties for the
SerialDF1forSLCMicroCom1. :(
HELP!!
TIA
Larry C

The address in your PLCAddressClick property should be B3/0

Before starting AdvancedHMI, did you make sure RSLinx is COMPLETELY shut down in order to allow AdvancedHMI to get access to the serial port?

Archie,
I was misinterpreting

Before starting AdvancedHMI
.
I was shutting down LINX AFTER, I had started AHMI.
I also had the PLC online. So I presume that LINX,LOGIX were holding the com1 open?
After shutting LINX down, taking LOGIX off line it works like champ!

As usual
Thanks
