I'm new with Beckhoff and I'm programming a CX-8090, now I'trying to communicate it with AdvancedHMI ... I follow the steps described in the QuickStart doc but I can't reaad or write variables on CX-8090. I'm using AdvancedHMIBetaV370.
I'm not sure If I'm doing something wrong but when I run it these messages appears:
Exception type:
'MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.Common.PLCDriverException' en MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.dll
'MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.Drivers.Common.PLCDriverException' en AdvancedHMIDrivers.dll
Help me please.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
An important thing to know about the TwinCAT driver is that it is a custom written driver that does not use the AMS router. If you are trying to run AdvancedHMI on the same computer that you are programming your CX, the AMS router will intercept the packets and not allow AdvancedHMI to work. The way I get around this is to run one thing in a virtual machine which makes the CX think there are 2 computers. I run TwinCAT in a virtual machine and AdvancedHMI on my main desktop.
