  1. Hi All, i've previously used a panel view before but not a touch screen version. Normally i would either get into the config mode via the shutdown button (not got password to log in). Or via the grey box on boot up, this touch screen doe'snt have a grey box on boot up. How can i get to config mode? Thanks, Stuart
  2. Hi, Does anyone know the R485 pinouts for the RJ45 ports on this modbus card. I've read the manual it suggests the pin 1 is non-inverting and pin 8 is inverting, but that's with a DB-9 to RJ45.   Thanks, Stuart
  3. Hi, I have an issue with a Q13UDEH being programmed with GX Works 2. I also have a Q12H already programmed with GX IEC Developer v7.04. The issue is that I cannot get inter plc comms working with the GX Works 2 , but yet it works with GX IEC Developer e.g. reads R800 to R899. Both PLC’s can see each other and can ping them, but not data exchange from Q12H to Q13UDEH..
  4. Hi Gambit, i mean we are using the JP_READ for Q12 with GX IEC Developer 7.04 and GX Works 2 using JP_READ with Q13 UDEH.   Stu.

  6. Hi All, i've been using Test Stand to simulate my projects to customers. But as test stand is quite old now is there any alternatives to this i could use?   Stu
  7. Hi All, when i've opened my project, GX IEC Developer 7.04 crashes when i start scrolling through the global variable list. Has anyone come across this? Stu
  8. Connecting a GOT 2508 to Mitsubishi Q12 plc

    Hi, thanks for the Help. It seems the first issue was the GOT station number. I've got it as 1 in the above setup, it should be 60. Going play around with the melsoft settings for UDP as i have it working on TCP.   Stuart
  9. Hi, i'm having a bit of trouble connecting my GOT 2508 to Q12 plc via ethernet. I have follwed the advice that GOT manuals have given me but i still cannot connect. I belive my GOT setting are correct now, but entirely sure they are correct in my Q12. I'm using GX IEC Develope 7.04.   Thanks, Stuart
  10. Connecting a GOT 2508 to Mitsubishi Q12 plc

    Hi Gambit, thanks for the reply. Please see attached.   Thanks, Stuart
  11. Did this something similar to this onsite and it worked a treat
  12. Hi All, I need to add an 1756-IF8 to my controlnet on a L61 PLC. I have already added the device to RSLogix 5000 and inhibited it for the moment. I have RSNetWorx for Controlnet version 11 as it is an older project. What do i need to do to schedule this device on controlnet? I've been told you need to be online with RSNetWorx and then do an upload, what else do you need to do to schedule this device. Any help greatly appreciated.   Thanks Stu
  13. No, but looks a nice piece of kit, i've used something similar in the past but not as useful.
  14. Thank you for your reply. I needed a bit confirmation that this was right, as the wiring will be using the RJ45 port to panel input/outputs for each core of the RJ45.
  15. Hi BCS, thanks for thorough response it's much appreciated I just need a compact flash card. Not got one here at the moment, but looking at the other thread i'm sure this will work. Thanks again for all the hard work, hopefully i will get the compact flash card then i can you and others that read this tread know. Stu PS HMI is from a sewage works, so very far from British Intelligence
  16. Hi, thanks for the response. I'm lucky enough to have one of those hmi's with no white screen. I've tried the keyboard but could not get in that way. The hmi does have a "GO TO CONFIG" but it is password protected. So can't determin ip address of hmi there, so i will either after do a factory reset or scan with a ip scanner to determin the ip address of the hmi. Or update the firmware Thanks Stuart
  17. Hi All, i have to connect to a Panel View plus 1000. The HMI has an existing project so i can't use bootp to assign an ip address (already assigned). My question is, if the HMI has an existing project on "how can i find and change the address of the HMI?" Stu
  18. Thank you, both options worked. The first option worked once i got the Login details to access config, second option worked when pressing F1.

  20. Formatting Q02(H) with MBOC

    Thanks kaare_t thats exactly what I needed to know.
  21. Formatting Q02(H) with MBOC

    Hi, I have the above PLC. That I need to put the MBOC on. Currently the PLC has nearly been commissioned, so it has PLC code, setpoint etc. I will save these. When I format the drive on the PLC for MBOC will I need the standard red serial cable for downloading to the PLC or will my Ethernet connection still work? Stu
  22. Q68 ADI install help

    Hi Colin, that explains a lot. A lot of the blocks i use at work are pre-written and not explained. Thanks, Stuart
  23. Q68 ADI install help

    Hi, i have an existing 12 slot rack with a Q series processor with input and output modules. I want to add a new Q68ADI analog input module what steps should i be aware when installing this mode. What I know is that i will need to configure this card within the PLC parameters i/o assignment and to download the new parameters to the PLC using GX IEC Develop 7.04. But what other steps do i need to be aware of? Stu
  24. Q68 ADI install help

    Thanks, glad you mentioned that Q is not hot swappable, was unsure of that.
  25. Hi, i need to modify a program in rslogix 500. I'm use to using mitsubishi's gx developer, so i base my experience on veryifying, going online and downloading from this. So first of all, i want to verify this existing program is the correct before i do any modifications, then do a download. The PLC'S that are used are SLC500's one with serial and one with ethernet. The mod i will be doing on one PLC is replacing an existing analog input card with a digital input card. The other PLC i will be modifying will have code added, so i can read an analog input then output this value to SCADA. Can one give any advice on the steps to do this? Ive had a look at a few youtube videos but just need a little more expert advice. Thanks Stu
