CPKSoft Engineering wants to thank AMES from Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain, for trusting us and having purchased the unlimited license for 50 objects of TAS-HMITalk to develop applications to manage their Omron PLCs.

AMES is a manufacturer of sintered metal parts and sintered self-lubricated bearings.
Sintering is a modern technique for manufacturing precision parts in large series, without any material loss and using production means which make it highly reliable and economic. Almost all classical operations of metallurgical finishing can be applied to sintered parts: Secondary machining operations, heat treatments, surface treatments and coatings, etc.

New TriggerAndWait method |
|
By CPKSoft Engineering Support on
10/2/2008 6:46 PM
|
A new method called TriggerAndWait has been added to the TAS-HMITalk activex. This method triggers a new communication and then blocks the execution of the application thread until the communication has finished. This way it is easier to implement a communication strategy where several TAS-HMITalk objects must be cascaded in a particular order.
Following is an example of a routine to handle a button event in an application written in C# with Visual Studio 2005 that reads data from a relay:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

What is SCADA? |

By CPKSoft Engineering on

Introduction
SCADA or Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition is a large scale control system for automated industrial processes like municipal water supplies, power generation, steel manufacturing, gas and oil pipelines etc. SCADA also has applications in large scale experimental facilities like those used in nuclear fusion.
SCADA systems monitor and control these operations by gathering data from sensors at the facility or remote station and then sending it to a central computer system that manages the operations using this information.
The SCADA System

Posted by Ed McClure on 15 January, 2007 - 6:10 pm
VB is an one option for programming a SCADA or HMI application. Others include "canned" software designed specifically for SCADA and HMI application. Examples of canned packages would be Rockwell Software's RSView and Wonderware. There are pro's and con's to both VB and canned SCADA/HMI packages.
VB Pro's:
1. No runtime licenses (cheaper)
2. More flexible
Generally with VB you would purchase a third party ActiveX control to facilitate PLC communication. There would be an additional cost for that control, but again once you purchase is (under $1,000) there are no runtime fees for any applications you develop with it. Also, there are many third party graphics packages aimed specifically at the industrial control market. These add-o ...

MOXA Serial-to-Ethernet NPort 6150 module tested wiith TAS-HMITalk |
|
By CPKSoft Engineering Support on
6/1/2008 6:06 PM
|
Last week we had the chance to test the Moxa NPort 6150 Secure Serial Port Server Module with TAS-HMITalk to communicate with the serial port of a DanLoad 6000 electronic preset through the ethernet LAN at a fertilizer plant from Petrobras in Campana, Argentina.

The Moxa device was provided by RCL Systems, a company specialized in integrating InTouch factory suite applications for oil&gas industries.
The loopback tests worked great, showing that TAS-HMITalk could talk to the MOXA module directly, without the need of installing any COM port redirector software. TAS-HMITalk could properly recover from our intentionally-caused communication errors, such as cable disconnections and module power-off and on.
The DanLoad 6000 didn ...

Here is the testimonial:
My recent experience with CPKSoft support was memorable, and I felt it was appropriate to share it.
A week ago I got a request from a good client to re-write the current scale ticket program. Having no experience with serial communications and reading information form serial devices. I had reservations about my ability to satisfy my client’s need.
A quick search on the internet pointed me to CPKSoft Engineering. Their software was the only package that supported the device I was looking to integrate with.
I downloaded the trial software, created my test application and tried it on the client’s PC…my program did not work. Now, having some experience with dealing with software component vendors, I figured I was out of luck and would have to let my client know that I will not be able to work on the project. However, just to give it a try, I decided to send an email to CPKSoft support ...

Carlos, It's great, that's it.....it works perfectly..
Fantastic TAS-HMITalk speed.....My interest with your TAS-HMITalk is a normal result to your kind support.... I was very happy when you said that 'TAS-HMITalk is ‘our’ product and I'm on-line with you so don't worry'. When you give that feeling to your customer you let him trust in your products and that's really what I'm looking for when dealing with my supporters."
