Hardware Background Info ... FX (CPU V3.3) Medoc 1.64 or 2.04 Accessing PLC with Visual basic My Problem ... I am trying to write to the file register area D1300 using a visual basic program. The program is as old as the hillls (by that assume it is reliable - honest). I can monitor the string being sent as it is sent, so I can see that D1300 is being written to, and the PLC accepted it as OK. However, I think it may be dumping the request internally because when I do a BMOV from D1300 to D170 and read back D170 all I get in D170 is FFh The first file register block has been enabled in Medoc (D1000- D1499) and there is room in my code (prog length is sub 1500 steps) for the BMOV. EDIT - I know I can use BMOV on FX1n,FX2n and FX2nc but I need to be able to do this on one of the old FX's. My Experience ... Good on serial comms, Intel asssembler and VB programmer by profession. Been working on FX's for 10 years but never needed to access the file registers before. Hope one of you guys can help me here. Thanks in advance
