Hello, if you need to program a VB.NETapplication for this configuration: "HMI advanced 07.06 and Sinumerik SL V02.07", then the only Siemens supported tool is RPC for Sinumerik http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/28239545. RPC consists of 2 parts: one must be installed on the target PCU50 with HMI-Advanced. The other partis an OCX that can be integrated in your VB.NET client application. Here is the manual: https://www.automation.siemens.com/doconweb/pdf/SINUMERIK_SIMODRIVE_04_2010_E/FBR.pdf?p=1#page=1&view=FitBH,0&pagemode=none. No OPC interface is provided. Other possibilities are: - write your application in VB6 - change the operator interface from HMI-Advanced to Sinumerik Operate. Then you can use the Create My HMI/3GL package http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/53092864to write your .NET application. No OPC interface is provided. - not supported by Siemenstry to integrate the DCTL.OCX provided by HMI-Advanced into your .NET application and use it for DDE communication with the NC. No OPC interface is provided. - use the SIMATIC NET OPC Server instead of the SINUMERIK OPC Server. This is released only for PLC access, though, not for NC variable access. Where is your application supposed to run ? On the machine operator panel ? |
