@wiln2lrn Right click the project name in the Solution Explorer, the Add->Windows Form. You will need to add a communication component to each forn,

I downloaded the new version but there are no controls in the tools box?  There is a folder that has the tools but there dont show up in the editor. Im new to .net so am I doing something wrong? Im using vb 2008 express.

[arj3090]

@jlstalman1980 You have to build the solution in order to get the components in the Toolbox.

[jlstalman1980]

I don't have all the Advanced HMI components i.e Pilot lights, motors, ETC. I love the concept of the software and the graphics look great! So glad I found it. Also do you have the Hardy scale graphic?

[arj3090]

@jlstalman1980 A new release is scheduled for October 7th that will contain all of the coomponents that did not make the version 3 release along with a few more. The Hardy Scale was for a special application and never made it into the AdvancedHMI package.

@arj3090

when will version 3 be out?

I notice in one of your videos there is a key pad on there, where can I find that or download it

[arj3090]

@wiln2lrn Version 3 is the current version. Version 4 should be out in the next 6 months. The keypad is now integrated into some of the components, such as the BasicLabel. If you put an address in PLCAddressEntry, then click on the BasicLabel during runtime, a keypad will pop up.

Your video is very helpful

[selvaaai]

[selvaaai]

Hi how can i add the components such as gauge to an new form not an existing form.

the problem is i created a application in vb.net already.

I just want to add the components but i cant..............Pls help me

[arj3090]

@selvaaai You will need to Add Existing Items to the project and select the control (e.g gauge.vb), then add the images to your resources by going to the properties of your projects and Add Existing to the resources.

@arj3090

[bmexzz]

thank u thats was so helpful for me .can i used over any AB logix or only the compact

logix.

[ahmetgacar]

That's what I was looking for. I really appreciate. You saved my a lot of time. You are my number one. Thanks again..

[thiteen]

can suggest me a book to learn abt plc ............from basics

[surgelogic]

This is way more complicated than it needs to be. If you run AB just use Pv's or wonderware.

[arj3090]

This is not for everyone, only those that don't want the high costs and limitations of PVs or Wonderware. Hardware and software less than $1600, PV over $4000, Wonderware well over $10,000. I've used all 3 and can get AdvancedHMI running much faster than the other 2.
