The above demo projects do not include the ActiveX DLL but you can look over the source code to see how it is used.


AB ActiveX DLL

1. In Visual Basic go to the Projects->References... menu and scroll down to the vHMI DLL reference that you are interested in

2. In the General Declarations area of your code window declare the following objects:

3. In your Form_Load or Initialize Sub instantiate the CDevice object:

4. For the AB Ethernet DLL you must first connect to the PLC. We also instantiate the AB Ethernet Object here. If you wanted to use the Serial DF1 object you would instead code: Set ab = dev.CreateDevice(df1_serial).

5. To read the PLC memory ( start = N10:1, Length = 10 words ) we code the following:

6. To write the PLC memory ( start = N10:1, Length = 1 word, value = 999 ) we code the following:

7. The following two events are fired by the GE Ethernet DLL. We display the results in a listbox in this example.

Here is the object model for the AB ActiveX DLL:

5. To read the PLC memory ( start = %R1, Length = 10 words ) we code the following:

6. To write the PLC memory ( start = %R1, Length = 1 word, value = 999 ) we code the following:
