Hey all,

I've been working on a custom machine which made sense to use the AdvancedHMI libraries for a PC based HMI. The application needed to trigger a Keyence camera over TCP Socket Communication and store the read data in an excel spreadsheet. All while coordinating with the PLC Auto cycle. It also communicates with a Micro850 plc which controls 2 stepper motors.

I have made TONS of modifications to the code to make it better including making the project use MDIParent and child control forms and a custom Alarms control.

It's been fun working on it and it's come with some great challenges that needed to be overcome. I've included a few screen shots and would like to offer my code to anyone that's interested.

I would be interested in having a look at it. Every time I make something new in AHMI I look back in horror at my previous work.

LOL!
I have the same problem with most of my HMI projects, seems to be the same with the Viseo drawings... Every time I do another it makes my previous work look like dogs breakfast.
 
awful screenshot, But thanks for sharing!

I noticed you removed the beautiful AAHMI logo, that's hurt!

Ooooh, I'm interested in the alarms control. I'm just about to tackle the alarms setup for my first AHMI project!

Will download and take a look :)
 
Thanks for posting your files. I got a few ideas. Unless I'm missing something your alarming looks painful. It appears to be all hard coded. I have been in the process of making alarming dynamic, everything from the PLC, triggers, text, etc. It has alarm status and history. I'm in the testing phase and so far so good.
 
+1! Please post up when you've finished testing!

Absolutely. My skill level with .NET is one notch above suck, so hopefully you will get something out of it. I will post something in a day or so. If for some reason I forget send me a friendly reminder, or nasty reminder... whatever.:D
