Allen Bradley SLC/Micrologix users check out the Advanced HMI project on sourceforge. It uses the latest version of the abdf1 driver and adds some really nice graphical oobjects. This allows you to build HMI's for your PLC without writing a single line of code.

Real Application

The DF1 protocol with a simple modification to make it work on WinCE has now been used in an actual application.

You can read a little about it at:

DH485

Archie — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 16:03:06 -0000

Protocol was tested over DH485 using a 1770-KF3 from Allen Bradley. Works without a problem.
Simply change the TargetNode property to the node of the PLC you want to read/write and it works nicely.

Source Code Download Problem

Archie — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:36:46 -0000

There was a problem with the full source code when downloaded. It would say the zip file was corrupted. This has been resolved.

.NET Compact Framework

Archie — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 13:48:25 -0000

Control was very easily ported to work on compact framework. I have tested it to work nicely on a Windows CE device and on a Pocket PC (Compaq IPAQ).

Look for future release of utilities to read and write PLC data tables from a Pocket PC.
