Can't get Quick Start Panel Meter to run in AHMI

[LarryWC]

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

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
