[Upload software in samba]

Hello,

I'm a very newbie to everything goes around PLC, so my apologize in advance if this is a stupid question.

I have written a simple software for a samba PLC, everything works fine. I can uploaded it with no problem at all.

Now, I have shipped the PLC, and it needs to be updated with a new version with small bugs fixed. What's the best option?

I can let someone on site download the visilogic software and send them the code, but what if I don't want to share my code, can I send them just the compile code and let in some way install it, maybe still with visilogic software? If yes how can I do it?

 

thank you!

Idle will stop the whole process for however you set it.  This includes I/O updates, as Alex said your probably better off using timers.

which is fine by me, but it doesn't.

I'll see what I can do using timers, thanks!

[Idle function]

Good morning,

I have to put an output "high" then wait for 2 seconds and put another output "high". I was looking at IDLE function between the two operations, but I'm not able to work it out.

I create a constant with value 200, because as far as i understand it takes micro seconds, but still once it goes it never waits. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, my apoligize I'm really newbie in this area.

here below the blocks:

Thanks a lot for any good advice

[Button inside a Frame]

You did this by changing the "Marking View" color on the HMI screen?

Nope it was "Focus Color" in my case

[Button inside a Frame]

just a quick update: following the good advice of Flex727,sgull and katmel   I managed to fix the problem of the backgroud color thanks.

I should have open a new thread for that problem, anyway the main one is still open, even if with the workaround I fix it. Let's see if the  Creators come back to us with an answer.

 

thanks a lot again to everyone

[Button inside a Frame]

Hi Joe,

thanks for your reply.

At the moment what I did as workaroud is to remove the touch from the frame as Flex727 suggested. Then I remove the title, simple setting it blank from the frame and I add a text with the same title with the touch on. So at least I can select the whole frame touching the title, and only the title. In this case then the keypad is triggered and I can set my number.

Now I'm facing another problem, once I set my number it changes the background color, I suppose is the color that used once is selected the object. But I dont see where I can change it, I'd like to use the same backgroud color.  See the pict below:

 

Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciated it

[Button inside a Frame]

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Here is what I'm trying to achive:

 

The green square is a frame, while the numers in black are  a numeric variable with a keypad associated.

Basically I need to touch the frame, so that the rounded icon in the top left corner may appear, but I need to be able to touch also the number to show the keypad to set it. But even if the frame is set to back ground I m not able to touche the number. If I move the number outsite the frame then everything works fine.

 

thanks!

 

[Button inside a Frame]

Good morning all,

I'm a super newbie about VisiLogic. I bought a Samba  SM70J and I'm trying to develop my small application to dialog with a pump.

I draw a frame and inside of it I put a button and a numeric variable with the keypad showen when I press it.

The thing is that inside the frame when I try to click on the button or the numeric variable, it's the frame itself that take the hit and not the others, even if I press "send to back".

any advice?

 

thanks a lot
