is it a MCR input or some interupt thing ?

Im cant really understand what u r trying to say. but with a real beijer lead u should have no trouble. an 1n & a 1s r the same port. would suggest taking a look at the comms settings. There was me thinking it was easy since medoc was gone :)

ok, what r they like to program ? Just Got a job that specs Twido, Ive used tsx with PLC7micro & PLCjunior, how similar is it?

ill email u someting in the morning, I'll wake the missus up if i go out to car this time of night :)

I would say, take the power from an external source if u can. I have powered them both ways, and both at the same time, but its got to be better if u can power them from an external source, incase the PLC needs expanding at a later date. Just a word of warning, when the E50 First came out I used a bog standard 5v psu to program them, fried several of them. Dont know why? was a regulated 5v psu. Ended up buying a mitsi one, cost bout 15quid and was identical to what i had (even put it on a scope) Bizarre......

An fx does not need to know if there is an expansion attached. If you tell me the plc model and exp model Ill post you a piece of code. medoc or gx ? oh yeah, and the if there r any other modules attached

Could you provide more info on the Fuji Controller? Maybe a link to a data sheet or part number?

I can confirm that all the smaller E-Terminals (E50, E100 & E150) use 5v from the PLC. I have also ran them with the Mitsubish 5v PSU connected at the same time and had no problems.

I've written some code to do this in MSVC++ Its pretty basic and crude but does the job. Let me know if your interested and I'll email it to you.

I've tryed several times to get medoc to work with XP but though the program will run it always fails on comms.

Heres a snip from Beijers web site Although locally developed systems dominated the Swedish market in the early 1980s, Beijer Electronics opted for the novel concept of combining high-quality agency products with proprietary development. Mitsubishi Electric's control systems, whose compact, integrated units constituted a new market philosophy, formed Beijer Electronics' foundation. The collaboration with this corporation also meant Beijer Electronics undertaking a series of major development assignments, which included the development of the MEDOC programming tool in the mid-1980s, a product that, until recently, was used for the installation of all Mitsubishi Electric's control systems worldwide. http://www.beijer.se/english/group/history/history.htm
