Sorry that doesn't seem to work, you could try something like this attached. The FX3GE has a cut down instruction set. The k10 in the FOR instruction is the number of data stores you are comparing and the D6300 is the start of your data stores (ignore the comments they are a reminant of an old program). Steve   12-01-2016 18-57-22.bmp

An example would be   [ZCP D10  D20  K1  M10]  This would compare D10 through to D20  to the value 1 (K1) and would turn on M10 if the result is less than, M11 if its equal to, or M12 if its greater than. (The ZCP is a pulsed instruction so the rung needs to go false then true again to activate it again.) Steve

Welcome, You can use the ZCP instruction, this is a zone compare that compares a range with a value and sets bits for >, < or equal to. The instruction manual explains it a bit further. Steve  

This all seems un-necessary unless it's just an exercise as dedicated equipment exists that do just this. Programmable cam switch   Steve

With this anomaly causing problems at the moment, I would just repost any questions or replies you may have.   Steve

This is most annoying, I can't open any post without this TWControls thing appearing   Steve

Take a look at this. FX3U-ENET-ADP Manual   Steve

The number of "I/O cards" that can be fitted is dependant on the I/O type and size. The max. I/O points are 128 local and 128 remote (cclink) a total of 256. You need to check the number of I/O points each module uses, this is stated in the associated manuals. Steve

This has been covered many times in the last few weeks, you could try to use the search function, however, again. The IP address of the FX3ge is 192.168.1.250, the default IP address of the GS2107 is 192.168.3.18 So you need to change the IP address of the GS2107 in the comms settings for the HMI to something like 192.168.1.253 or at least something on the same subnet. Also the default comm port on the GS2107 is 5019, this also needs changing to 5556.   Steve

You will find that the intergrated Enet on the Fx3ge is the same as the FX3u-enet-adp module, this manual is readily available in english.   Steve

I'm looking for some help regarding accessing a FX3GE processor via the internet. My client is on 192.168.0.**  - 255.255.255.0, and the PLC is on 192.168.1.** I know very little about networking, is it just a case of changing to 255.255.254.0 to access both networks or is there some other way to be able to talk to the PLC over the internet?   Thanks Steve  

I've checked out the web monitoring that is mentioned in all the sales documents and that was mentioned in an earlier post, but I'm unable to access it. The processor is on 192.168.1.250 (default), when this is typed into browser it reports 'unable to connect to server', I have tried three different browsers and have disabled all firewalls but it still won't play. Anyone managed to access this web monitoring?   Steve

Hi Theo, Thanks for the replies, the reason I mentioned modifying the sub net mask was because one network was on 192,168,1 whilst the other was on 192.168.0. The ewon looks like a simple unit to use, but the cost in the uk is a little prohibitive for this small project (£600), I was looking for a more cost effective solution. I didn't know about the built in web page, I'll have to check that one out when I'm next on site.   Steve

I've not had time to try this but it should work. Steve 28-11-2015 19-16-22.pdf

You need to read this as a start, http://dl.mitsubishielectric.com/dl/fa/document/manual/plc_fx/jy997d49401/jy997d49401f.pdf If you are talking about the integrated Analogue function then pay extra attention to the D registers 'D8280 - 89 as it writes to these and the bit registers 'M8280 - 89' to set up analogues, The WR3A function writes to the analogue extension units (ie FX2-2DA) This should allow you to start understanding the analogues, but be warned it will mess with your head once you start adding additional analogues to the left hand side of the processor.

My pleasure, Steve

The rising edge of X07 latches in M65 when a bottle is detected, this is the bit that is going to be placed in the shift register. When the carousel moves (assumption), X06 is activated, this activation triggers the shift register via M100, whereby the status of M65 is moved into M111, i.e. if M65 is 'on' then M111 turns 'on', as the carousel passes X06 the falling edge signal resets the M65 latch. So as you can see either X07 is not detecting a bottle or X06 is not triggering the shift register. You can set up a 'watch' table using GXworks and monitor M111 through to M140 to see if you are actually shifting the bits. The only conditions I can see needed for Y01 operation is M111 + M27 (auto) and no faults, ditto for Y02 except M113 activates it (two further movements of the carousel) Steve

I would suggest that the proxy on X06 is not working or detecting, this is what instigates the shift register to move the detected bottle status around the carousel (m111, m113 etc.). Steve

Welcome, The instruction SFTL is a bit shift left, The K30 is the number of bits to be shifted the m111 is the start bit of the shift ( so the status of m111 to m140 are going to be shifted) by one position (K1). The status of m65 is moved into m111 every time the rung goes active then the status's of m111 to m140 are shifted 1 place left. ie if m65 =1 then m111 is made = 1 after a shift if m65 =0 then then its shifted again m112 will now =1 and m111 will = 0, the 1 will move left for every subsequent shift (m113 --> m140). I think you need to investigate what actions bit m100 as this triggers the shift instruction or bit m65 as this is the status that's being shifted. I hope this helps. If possible can you post the whole program ( zipped up)? Steve

Hi all, I have a request for some clarification regarding remotely mounted I/O, basically I have a FX3GE and I need to mount additional I/O 10Metres or so from the processor, can someone point me in the right direction as how and what i need to achieve this? Thanks Steve

Thanks for that, to be honest it never even crossed my mind about replacing the 8 point output block with a 16 point, sometimes its the rediculously obvious that trips you up :) Steve

Just a couple more outputs at the moment, CC-link is a little overkill, but if thats the way to go so be it. Steve

It's an already installed system, it is a FX3GE 24 - 14 in 10 out with a lefthand mounted analogue unit FX3U-4AD-ADP, a FX2N-16EX-ES, a FX2N-8EYE-ES, a FX2N-4AD and a FX2N-2DA with not a lot of room physically remaining in the cabinet. Steve
