Hi Lars !

How are things going with the V1.2.0 ?

I am curious !!

Hi, I have been working on the code for quite some time.
It has been quite a intense job since I have rewritten a lot of the code.
I have implemented a lot of logic that was not present at the first versions.
I have also struggled with a lot of VB issues, since the compiler has som limitations as is. (Scrolling, timers etc)
But I have now been testing v1.2.0 for quite some time.
It runs stable on my Win 7 computer, and logging seems to be ok.
There are also some hidden features, like auto saving of IP adresses used.
Here are some pic's of the new version:

That looks nice !
I'm looking forward to try it out.
I have another wish, is it possible to have an option with
user defined labels ?
To add a row in the last picture, for inputs and outputs where I can write ie. outdoor temp. boiler...etc

I hope you understand....

Yes, I understand. You want to label TTL Input/Output Bits, Right???
I just have to add the function.
The settings for the labels can be written to Registry/Inifile, no problem.
The easyiest way, is to make a extra settings form where you put the inputs you want available.

Back to the drawing board...

Wow, you are a fast guy !!
If it´s not to much ask I would like to put lables to all psysical in/outputs and VAR 1-8.

Hi, I have added the function as a ToolTip text.
That way, the form is unchanged. I just added a settings form to get the text wanted in the tooltips.
I have to add the Var into the code...

Here is an example of how it looks:

 

[mantamania]

Yes !
That is very nice, this is getting better and better .
This is something I have missed in WebControls GUI all the time.

 

[LarsK]

Have added var, temp and analog inputs in the program...

V1.2.0 is uploaded.
Changes:

• Added status Page
• Added tooltip text option in statuspage
• Added IP adress Autocomplete function
• Added About form
• Added multi scrolling function
• Added LogON/off function
• Rewritten a large part of the code, program loads faster, uses less memory
• More userfriendly interface, including error control

Hi Lars !

Thanks for the V 1.2.0 !

I have used it for some days now and I like it !!
Do you have any other updates coming ??
We talked erlier about the possibility to send/recive data between two WC-PLC:s,
is that possible ??

Hi, I have just flickered some on the code.
Not anything that needs to be updated.
To get the two PLC's to communicate I'm sure it can be done.
Excample:
IF PLC1 TTL 1 Input bits value = 1
then PLC2 TTL 1 Output bits value = 1

 

[LarsK]

Any whishes for V1.3.0?
I have the code for implementing different languages, but I realy don't know if this is wanted.
Also, looking on the downloads, it seems like the followers is a small herd. (50 downloads or so...)
I have already implemented tooltip for the hum sensor.
I will not make a 2 plc version at this stage, since it demands a lot of programming.
And, I need two PLC's to debug all the problems involved...
Anyhow, any tips is welcomed!

what is a WebControl PLC. got a spec pdf? and what does one cost?

Hey there, you have another follower, I'm really interested in this development and can't wait to try it out next week when I get my webcontrol back from CAI. The first one i got would not remember settings when power cycled. A new one is on it's way.

I am really interested in using the webcontrol to setup a garage door opener, irrigation controller and as 1-wire interface. I am deploying a number of 1-wire temp and humidity sensors (might have to use a different device for these) in my house.

What are the folks here using for front-ends to remote control the webcontrol, if anything - from an iphone? I was planning on using openremote, anyone have experience with it? I have it setup and it can send/receive HTTP commands and can easily query the webcontrol for sensor status and should be able to change the TTL bits, meaning a button on the openremote can easily switch things on/off like a garage door or light.

Cheers!

Hi, you can find the info here: http://www.cainetworks.com/products/webcontrol/webcontrol-faq.html

The price is ~ $35 for the PLC. And with a steel cabinet $50 or so.
You can find the PLC at eBay: http://stores.ebay.com/IT-Cables?_trksid=p4340.l2563
