Hi, im new in regards to PLC stuff.
Anyways, i am tring to to create communication between PLC and a visual basic executable file through WINtelligent Linx.
I have created a topic called "TimerPulse" thro' wintelligent linx and as i understand the application name for WINtelligent linx is "Icomwdrv".
I need the "toggling" PLC values (B3/2) to be shown in a text box on Visual basic. So in the text box, i linked the following:
LinkItem--> B3/2
LinkTopic--> Icomwdrv|Timerpulse
Further, i have also written the code for DDE initiate in visual basic.
So when i run the Visual basic, the text box should show the toggling values. But it says : "run-time error 282. No foreign application responded to a DDE initiate"
THE SAME THING WORKS PERFECTLY IS I USE RSLINX.
For that, instead of Icomwdrv, i use RSLinx and it works great.
I'm guessing then there is something woring in the way i'm creating the topic, etc in Wintelligent Linx.
In WinLinx, if i put superWho, it shows that it can see the PLC and also it shows that it is receiving something from PLC.
In configuring topic, the topic name is "TimerPulse" and i put in the info of the PLC connected (name, station no. etc)
I don't know what c'd be wrong.
Any help w'd be greatly appreciated.
