To be honest, I think 11 inputs are a little overkill for what you are trying to achieve, this gives the possibility of 2^11 (1024) settings. How many different settings are required? Steve

It was a rhetorical reply😊 Steve  

Something like this maybe?  

You may have to check, as I just found this:- 0900766b8002fb9e.pdf

You could take a look at this manual, it goes into a lot of detail. JY997D16701 look for section M Steve

As stated we need the complete program, the files you have sent are only part of the program structure, the RESOURCE folder is missing. I have managed to open the file using a substitute RESOURCE folder but obviously the program isn't correct. Steve

I don't think the FX3s Supports bit level actions on Data files, ie D1.0 is not allowed, you could convert the D file to M bits by (MOV)ing D file to K4M0 using the M bit then convert back to D file (MOV k4M0 D0) or conversely use the GOT display to do the donkey work utilising scripting.   Steve

The example from the help file appears to be incorrect, The data blocks in s7-300 are natively byte wide (8 bits), the GOT registers on the other hand are 16 bit wide, so it requires 2 bytes of the Siemens DB to make up a 16 bit integer in the GOT. DB1.DBX0.0 - > DB1.DBW0.b0 DB1.DBX0.7 - > DB1.DBW0.b7 DB1.DBX1.0 - > DB1.DBW0.b8 DB1.DBX1.7 - > DB1.DBW0.b15 etc., etc.

Or if you are using 16 bit devices you can use [= d200 d300 m200], [> d200 d300 m200],[< d200 d300 m200] etc. which will only use the one result bit (eg M200), the compare function CMP would be required for 32 bit compare. The manual is quite intuitive,  

Extract from the manual,   abb VFD.pdf

It would appear that the VFD does not have an analogue voltage output , only a 0 to 20mA current output. You can modify the Logo input to read current, or you could use a 500 ohm resistor to convert to 0 -10V.   Steve

If you generate an account with Mitsubishi Automation and register your software, it will verify your version and it will notify you by email whenever there is an update, it does this with software and documentation with links to download (free of charge).   Steve

if you generate a virtual machine, you can reinstall it on there for another 21 days Note! you can only upload the screens and data from the HMI if the project source code was downloaded with the runtime files. The runtime files are compiled and not editable. Steve

I think you are getting confused with the preview function, this is not a simulation only a graphical overview of your screen. That said, you can click on the panel meter graphic and modify the displayed value, but it will not dynamically follow your numeric input. To have it dynamically change the panel meter graphic in line with your numeric input you need to simulate it, which if installed will be accessable under the 'tools' dropdown. Steve  

You need to right click on the 'Windows Screen' not the 'New' and use the 'Window Dialog Wizard' to generate a new window.   Steve

I believe GxDeveloper is an outdated software for Mitsubishi PLC's, though it will run a large majority of the older processors, the current software would be GXWorks, this is what is required for your processor.   Steve

you can generate your own oneshots, something like these,     Steve  

RSlogix5000 and studio5000 are revision specific, it depends on what the program revision is as to what revision of studio5000 you need installed on your PC For example if the program is written in version 20 then you need version 20 installed on your PC to open it, even if you have a later version installed, say version30 it still won't open it, it has to be version 20 Steve

You could try posting in PLCtalk.net, http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/forumdisplay.php?f=2 The guy's on there are far more AB Savvy, there are ex (or current) AB employees amongst the moderators. Steve

Welcome, To save us trying to second guess your problem, could you give more info ie what piece of equipment are these parameters relating to? Steve

I'm not sure about the *QMS part but the S:15 is split into low byte and high byte where the low byte contains the NODE number of the Processor and the high byte contains the baud rate of the com port, is the QMS a symbol for a memory store? Steve

Welcome, You will find it almost impossible to control a driven rod cylinder, you would require a rodless cylinder which can be controlled, with feedback given by simple reed switches mounted at the controlled stop positions. Rodless cylinder Steve

This sometimes is intentional, a quick example would be when a HMI or SCADA system writes directly to a PLC's data table (eg turning on an output), then the PLC turns this output off by unlatching (U) the output when a particular condition is met, this could be multiple conditions, hence the multiple (U)'s. Maybe a little untidy but sometimes unavoidable for the sake of clarity. Steve

its been a while since I used a FX2N but I think the error led is actually two leds side by side if the righthand one is lit then its a program error, if both lit its a CPU error. Either way the special registers D8060 to D8069 should indicate an error code, with the corresponding M registers M8060 to M8069 set to indicate the D register. To clear the PLC completely remove any memory cassette, remove the battery turn off the PLC and leave for 30 secs, Replace the battery, turn on the  PLC and switch to run. As I said its been a long time . Steve  

whoops, I'm a bit slow typing
