Ok, got “MAD4Mach” working! This 1st version will be FREE!!! (But, if you do like it, you could send me 10 bucks via paypal ). It will pop up your PC Id, email it to me, and I will generate a license file for you.
I have some other ideas, to extend its functionally but, depending on what kind of interest is generated, will determine if I put that work into it for a version 2.0 which will be a paid lic/upgrade.
In a nut shell, and in general it will allow you to read and/or write to:
1. All OEM Inputs
2. OEM Outputs
3. read/write up to 16 Modbus registers you can choose each as IN or OUT
4. read/write up to 16 Registers from the OEM plugin (iREG and gREG)
5. read/write up to 16 Params(pound vars), can be individually picked for Get or Set
All object names or paths are user definable, and all choices are “remembered”.
I highly recommend that you read the,
Read-me 1st doc, for the way you have to run the installer.
Also, there is a
“User’s Manual” for detailed instructions on how to set it up, use it, and integrate it with your screen set and/or Wizard. The manual also has Customizing instructions if you don’t want to embed the launcher, but just embed individual functions in a button.
The installer will install a testing: MachMad Profile, MachMad screen set (that has the MAD launcher built into it, so you can see how to integrate the launcher or just fire it off from the Wizard selector). It also installs the MAD Launcher in the wizards folder, and it installs a DL 06 PLC project (if you have one), that you can test against a PLC for Modbus operations, or set up your own PLC. The project folder is installed under the Wizards folder, there is also a resource folder installed there that MAD uses, so don’t delete that one, or MAD will not work.
I have attached screen shots of the function windows, the Zip file with installer and the user manual (which is also in the installer zip file).
More screen shots on the following post.
