M8013 is always a good place to start. This is a 1s on/off pulse. Can't remember if it's 1 on 1 off or .5 on .5 off but it gives a nice relaxed flash. Other than that there are hundreds of ways to do this with set times for on and off. The easiest and most widely understood would be to use two timers. If you are intent on using one timer, or one instruction I think there are special functions but why bother? Edit : This is for the FX range.

I've just tried it and it works for me without the show input panel checked.

I was assuming Pirate had tried that as it's documented.

Have you contacted mitsubishi support? Usually pretty good on this sort of 'undocumented' stuff. I'll have a play with it on Monday.

Add hidden box/text/buttons. Set visible property in dynamic properties to show when the first button is pressed. Hide again when yes/no is selected.

Object -> alarm banner. It is as well as the bell not instead of, I think.

Any alarm will show the 'alarm bell' in the top right of the page. Have you tried an alarm banner?

Or do you mean the info block which is accessed via the alarms block by pressing the 'info' button? This is where you go to the alarms page, highlight the alarm and press the 'info' button to go the the block linked to the alarm? Personally I wouldn't want alarms to automatically jump to a new block. This tends to make the panel appear to have a mind of it's own and drives operators mad.

Test this and report back. Note: I think it only works on E1000 series. Download_program_to_FX1N_via_E_series_USB_flash_drive.pdf

From this page : http://www.mitsubishi-automation.com/servi...name=faq_search Anyone know how it's done? I can't find any documentation.

Finally got something working with the help of support. It's not very elegant and may take some writing up if anyone needs to know how to do it.

From another angle: What would happen if the outputs switched at the same point in the sine wave?

Use DC Scan time will not be that consistent will it? What is the problem you are trying to overcome? Would zero switching solid state relays help?

Er, yeah, that's what I meant.

Paint out the background symbol with a picture editor?

----[MOV K1M300Z1 K1M48]. Oops. But, as stated, not necessary now.

Do you want to just make sure that no two (or more) outputs go on during the same program scan? If so use a DIFU set to comes on with each output. Use a not "the DIFU" bit to blank the other outputs for one scan. Set the outputs to make sure then don't go off as others go on. If that's not what you want, what do you want?

Sergei's code is for the fx series. My 2nd one is for the Q series. They do the same thing, but Sergei takes it a bit further. My test code (RND and series M's) may only serve to confuse. The line you are struggling with should be as follows on the Q series: ----[MOV K1M300Z1 M48]. This is not absolutely necessary on the Q as you can "LD M300Z1 OUT M48". What is necessary is the change the M8000 to SM400, and the Z to say Z1. The M8000 is the 'always on' bit for the fx series. The SM400 is the 'always on' bit for the Q series.

This one works in fx (I think - not checked) just for completeness. There is no RND funtion so D200 values have to be created some other way. Whenever M0 is on the message to be displayed is in D1. Note: This is limited to 16 messages max.

The file is taking too long to download so here is my blind effort. I have ditched the the counter for an incrementing D1. The line of M bits is just to monitor the status. Note: this one is on a Q series. Edit: the Mov D0 D1 should be Mov K0 D1.

Can you post a pic of the AB ladder you want to convert? I think we've covered most of what can be done with a counter, a D register and an indirect address other than: -----------( C0 D100Z0)
