Use freely available software to develop an HMI that works with Allen Bradley SLC500 and MicroLogix. Don't miss the Advanced HMI project that extends this driver by adding some very nice graphical controls. It can be found at:

Hi, thanks for the video, I cant beleive I didnt see it sooner. Do you know if it will work with the Micro830 family.

@morelos81 Not sure what protocols the Micro830 uses. Haven't got hold of onet to do any testing yet.

does the df1 driver work in VB2010express, when I build after loading driver I get 31 errors and it doesnt show up in toolbox, thanks

[arj3090]

@NoCommieBastards The DF1 driver in version 3.19 has some known issues. It works in the other versions still available for download. Version 3.20 will be available on 28-NOV-11 with a fix.

I have a AutomationDirect 205 with a 230 cpu. Do you think this HMI will work with the above mentioned PLC? I just picked this PLC up cheap and thought I could build a PLC trainer to learn on.

@MrTimowens I'm not sure what protocols the 230 CPU supports. The higher processors support Modbus and there is a Modbus driver included in the AdvancedHMI project shown in my other videos.

is there any programs like logixpro for mac

hi, i spoke to you once before on eng-tips forum and you were suggesting your df1 driver for a hmi application. Can you email me with a link to the latest files for vb.net and maybe a small description / recomendation of how to monitor a wide range of addresses so I can display them on the screen without bogging down the df1. Thanks my email is antsrealm@hotmail.com
