The tm221 uses somachine basic which is not a complicated software. With the little bit of info available I would just write a different value to the analog output depending on the cam position, and I would do it via operator blocks   I tried to paste some pictures but website doesnt allow it for some reason  

Secomeas sitememanager is very easy to setup. I wouldnt focus so much on what plc you have. You can gain access remotely to any device. Are you connecting to the sitemanager via ethernet or is it a serial device?

Havent done it for a while. But we normally would use modbus tcp/ip to a gateway and the gateway would be modbus rtu to the different power meters. 

Hi Heres a link to the lists https://www.se.com/za/en/faqs/FA234017/

Did you change the battery while the controller was on? or did you switch off the power. If you switched off and then changed the battery then you lost the program. Does this plc have a memory card installed? And is it a tsx micro or Premium

yes normally with a hardware change you need to stop the plc

Also to add to quant you must specify in the port config if you are talking rs232 or rs485 etc before communicating to the printer. Normally this will be rs232 and as Quant suggested use the Print_Char function block

Yes this is a standard feature for all string display or number display. You just enable input

We can do this for the positive and negative argument   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYJ2w82WifU

What do you mean it works then turns off? Does it accelerate then after 10 seconds decelerates and shows rdy on the display? Also what power supply do you have for this system? Normal or Generator or something?

You will always get a drift in time when using a timer in any plc to do something like this. Either install a real flow switch in the field or if you have to use time the get a RTC (Real Time Clock) and deduct the times from starting to stopping off each other to be more precise

You can choose to use the same firmware or upgrade it or downgrade it once you open the application

Just to be clear did you format the sd card with this procedure or did schneider do it for you? Connect to M580 and make sure the Unity project is “Equal”, “Run” and “Built” Stop the PLC Open SD card door and make sure LED is ON Open the “Animation Table” Window Add system word %SW93.0 and %SW93.1 Turn on the “Modification” button Enter value “1” for %SW93.0 (This will start the format of the SD card then that value will change back to “0” and the value of %SW93.1 will go from “0” to “1” to indicate the format has completed successfully), (Formatting a standard SD card takes about 30-50 seconds) When completed enter value of “0” for both %SW93.0 and %SW93.1 Start PLC

So i presume you cannot do a download to the plc? Because the download will install to the sd card and on power up the plc will load from the sd card. I have never done it this way, but I would suspect you should do a backup save while online. just copy the program from cpu before you do this

what ports do you have on the m221? Ethernet?  I have recently just played around with node red and modtcp/ip and a m340. I could read and write to the m340 via node red.  From node red you can send the data to whatever you want (Well mostly) If the m221 has ethernet you can also use the mdtcp/ip node and collect the data from the m221

Ok my bad then. Machine expert is the latest version of somachine so I thought the same would apply but they obviously incorporated this hmi into it. Its just that in my stand alone vijeo designer I cant get that model.....anyways will dig around a bit more

I dont understand how you can use vijeo designer for a HMIG3U. I thought you can only use Vijeo XD or Ecostructure Opertator terminal expert for that type of screen As stated in this Schneider FAQ Can SoMachine controller communicate to a HMI program with Vijeo XD V3.0 Published date: 15 November 2018   Issue: How do I setup communication between the Controller and HMI and link the variables. Product Line: M238, M241, M251, M258  HMIGTO, HMIG3U Environment: SoMachine V4.3 Vijeo XD 3.0 Resolution: Vijeo XD V3.0 is not integrated with SoMachine V4.3 You have to create a separate SoMachine application for the M251 controller and a separate Vijeo XD V3.0 application for the Magelis HMI. In Vijeo XD, use the SoMachine Network driver under Schneider Electric.  Copy the Node name from the SoMachine application. Create a symbol link and browse for the application name XML file to import the tags from SoMachine to Vijeo XD.  This file is created during a download in SoMachine.

Normal Modbus Rs485 is a serial communication and doesn't use IP addresses. You will use read and write_var function blocks to handle te communication on the Unity side. Get the ATS48 modbus manual to see to which registers on the ATS48 you have to write to control and from which registers to read to get status and readings

you need to change the time base of the timer to seconds. Then you must use operation blocks and do calculations to to convert to minutes and display that calculated value

What software and plc is this?

You should be able to use the read_var function block to read variables from the different meters Have a look at the following thread   http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/topic/35538-somachine-basic-modbus-read_var-help/

Try this   Above will move %mw100 to %mw109 into %mw200 to %mw209

As I mentioned in previous topic that you also queried on, just move the analog input value into a %mw and read it from there. Not all software allows you to read directly the digital io or analog io
