The current version only supports Visual Basic 2010 or Visual Studio 2012. You can install Visual Studio Express 2012 and still keep 2008 on the machine.

Now I run the program and test the DisplayMessageByBit component and connected to SLC500 via DF1.
Is the component only have 16 messages? I has set the list until 32 messages and PLC address is B3:8. I thing if B3:9/0 is set then message 16th should be appear, but actually is not. Please correct me.

This is a limitation of the MessageDisplayByBit. It can only connect to a single element. If your processor supports Long integers, then you can get 32 bits, otherwise you are limited to 16 messages.

Dear I has try with 32 messages with controllogix5000 and running ok.
My question, what "DisplayTime" in MessageDisplayByBit property used?

DisplayTime is the number of milliseconds that each message is displayed. The default is to show each message for 3 seconds (3000ms)

It seem not differences between 1000 and 3000. Also I can not fill the value to 10000.
Any hint please.
