  2. Visualization and Connecting to AB/GE/Modbus PLCs with VS.NET Agenda: 45 – 60 Minutes • INGEAR.NET Overview • Simulating a Controller object • Automatic tag Polling • UIItem Class Overview • Live training • Discussion, Questions & Answers

  3. INGEAR.NET Family of Visual Studio.NET Components • Connect to Allen-Bradley, GE Fanuc, and Modbus PLCs • Supported in both Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010 • Windows Forms • Console Applications • System Services • Web Forms • Web Services • COM Wrapper for VB6 Support

  4. What Is Involved to Use INGEAR.NET.Logix? • You have an Allen-Bradley PLC. • Logix Family (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix and SoftLogix) • Visual Studio 2005, 2008 or 2010 • Good Design and Planning Still Required Visual Studio to AB Devices

  5. Advantages of INGEAR.NET • Easy to use • No point counts or other artificial limits • Self Optimized Communication • Interfaces allow for rapid and device-independent development • Runtime-free distribution, single computer, or compact framework licenses

  6. Simulating a Controller • No PLC Needed • Controller • Simulate = True • Tag.SimType • UserMode (default) • Ramp • Random • Sine

  7. Automatic Group Scanning • There are 3 ScanModes • Read Only • Write Only • ReadWrite • How does ReadWrite work? • Scan the Tag.Value for changes • If so write these changes to the PLC. • Read all the Values from the PLC • Tag.Value = 123, Invokes a Write.

  8. UIItem Class • Binding of Tag.Value to any Form Control • 1 to Many Relationship • UIItem Constructors • UIItem(FormControl, Property) • UIItem(FormControl, Property, Format) • UIItem(FormControl, Property, StartVal, StartColor, StopVal, StopColor)

  9. Live Demonstration
