Hi Bit stuck here. I have 2 string substitutions in a genie which make up my tag names eg; NetworkBridge%NB#%_Meter%M#%_PV I have linked the genie to a super genie via a ASSPOPUP. I need to use the %NB#% & %M#% values from the genie in the super genie. If I placed my genie on a new page it will display a box which has %NB#% & %M#% and two entry fields. I need these two entries to be passed to the super genie. Any ideas?

Does anyone know anything about this? Its a hybrid system for use with Mitsubishi Heavy Industry which has been butchered by Rockwell. Does anyone know where I can find useful information about this product??

Yeah, I need specifics from each company. I am planning on writing numerous documents to cover each manufacturers kit. I read a Rockwell standard last year and it was quite good, it was for RS View SE. I am after certain 'Company Specific' standards i can reference in my docs. Any ideas where I can find these??

Hi all Been asked to write some coding standards for PLC programming. Is anyone aware of any written standards supplied by Mitsi, Siemens, Rockwell, Telemec, Omron etc that is freely available for download. I read a Rockwell coding standard last year but cant remember where i picked it up.

I am using simatic safety matrix and I am struggling to use PLC markers for 'soft bypass and resetting' Siemens have told me that they go straight in if they are in my symbol table. My symbol table was updated with an array of reset and bypass bits using addresses m0.0 - m15.7. When I try to select these in my cause and effects they are not visible in the dropdown window. Please, if anyone has done this before could you shed some light.. Thanks Paul Mc

First things first, you should set what your input source is. Voltage or Current. Set the dip switches to suit your input. In your PLC code you should set the card up in your IO settings. The code is very simple. First you have to set the active channels. Then set your error handling. Then set your reading and scaling. I have attached some sample code. Where H2 is mentioned, replace this with your card header address in HEX. Eg Slot 0 = H0 Everything else should start to make sense. Analogue_Input_Sample.zip

Its for an old C200H, not sure of the CPU. Anyway, I may have already sourced one in UK. Thanks

Hi Guys Does anyone know where I can get hold of an Omron C120-LK201-EV1 host link module? Also, does anyone know how much these babys cost? Cheers

Dont Worry about this one guys. All sorted. I had used a timer in the wrong place and the compile failed. Good ol' Output Window!!!

Hi Guys I am having trouble compiling my WinCC application. When I try to transfer to the OP it starts to compile then stops. Everything is then aborted. Has anyone else seen this problem and is there a way around this. Cheers Paulio

Thanks a lot guys. Its an old DL5 and I managed to add my extra message. Thanks again dudes

Hi guys n gals Does anybody know where I can get a copy of this AB dinosaur 'Dataliner'. I have searched high and low for it with no joy. Please Help. Regards Paul Mc

Thanks PR, i managed to figure it out. I needed to add a + or - to my string for the conversion to work correctly.

I am trying to do a similar thing in a Q00J. Is this possible? HEX is not supported on this.

I heard that mitsubishi have reworked the basic model cpu to include ascii conversion commands. Is this true? If so, Ive been dealt an old model because mine does not. Also, does anyone know a way around this? Cheers
