Current Drivers List
How do I configure a driver sheet?
If you look in the Drv folder under your Indusoft web
Studio directory you’ll find the driver files. Each driver
has its own documentation, a .txt, .doc, or .pdf file,
which describes the driver and how to configure it to
communicate with your PLC.
I’ve configured my Communication sheet but when
I run the application the units don’t seems to talk
to each other. What’s wrong?
When using TCP/IP, OPC, DDE ,or ODBC you have to tell
the application to start communication when you start
your application. To do this click Project on you tool
bar and select Status. Then highlight the communication
protocol you want to use. Note: there are two selections
for TCP/IP one for the client and one for the Server.
After that, hit the startup button and select automatic
and hit OK.
When I start my application, I can see that it is
starting but my screens don’t come up. How do I select
a startup screen?
Click Project on your tool bar then select Setting.
Under the Runtime desktop Tab there is a field where
you input your startup screen. Just type in its name,
not including the .scr extension.
I’ve created an application to run on the Web but
all I see when I type in the web address is a gray field
and an error mentioning issymbol.ocx. What is issymbol.ocx?
Issymbol.ocx is Indusoft’s active X object used by your
browser to view the web pages. To use it you need to
register it in you system32 folder under your windows
folder. Once it is registered your browser will be able
to see the pages.
I can see the pages on the web but the data doesn’t
correspond to the data in my application. Why?
First no matter how fast your computer is there will
always be a slight delay. It takes a second or two to
transmit and receive the data over the internet, depending
on distance traveled.
It this is more than a delay then you probably forgot
to tell your server which tags to transmit. To do this
go to your tag database and look all the way to the
last column on the right, the one called web data. This
column has two options local and server. Local means
that the tag information is not broadcast on the web,
Server means it is. If you want to read and write to
that tag over the net change the setting to server.
How to I make the button I just drew do something
when pushed?
With the button still highlighted click the icon on
your right tool bar that looks like a computer mouse.
This will add the commands property to your button.
Then right click on your button and select properties,
the commands properties window will open and you can
input the commands you want the button to issue when
pressed.
Can I incorporate an active X object into my screens?
Yes, Just click Inset on your tool bar and select active
X object. A list of all the active X objects currently
registered on your system will appear. Select the one
you want then right click on the active x objects window
and select properties to configure it.
Can I insert a BMP or a JPG file as a background?
Yes, right click on the background of your screen and
select screen attributes. Check the box to enable the
background and select the format and click OK. Then
select the background icon (it is a small picture of
a cactus) to cut and past in the background image.
