OK, got it thanks.

Well the manual is clear as mud on ABSD, is S1 where it's getting it's initial count value? if so where does it get the end count? and in D, if I M0 in there out puts are M0,M1,M2, etc? and n is the total number of step? so K16 will give me M0-M15? Am I following this right?

Oh yeah, the counts are different depending on wheather the bend option is on or off. it changes the count by about 11 depending on the operation.

Actually the drum counter already exists, customer has a bender with an Omron C28K and one just bit the big one so my company, we support the old Western Benders, wants me to rewrite this program to run on an available PLC. Since we carry and support Mitsubishi that's what they want to program to. And most of the opperations controlled by the sequencer would normally require a sensor input, but there are very few sensors on the machine.

Thanks.

Does Mitsu have something equivalent to the drum counter used in OMRON?

Not that I know of

OK I have a line a copy of SysWin 3.4, whould that help me?

Feh! Thanks for the help. I know I'll have other questions soon.

No other programs with that name. Attaching the sample .prn EP22PJ35.PRN

Thanks, more info than I had before, and now that you mention it I do remember seeing .prn files in DOS . Feh!, that means I'm hosed because I'm not seeing the entire program and no way to open it other than notepad.

What software do I need to open an Omron C28K program that ends .prn?

The man is Mitsu JY992D88101 rev. C

Thanks Rodney, that's what I thought. I have another question that the manual has been less than helpful with. Is there a dedicated "Start of Scan" bit?

OK, one last question to make sure I have it straight in my head, to reset a nonretentive timer all I need to do is make the rung false, correct?
