Hello. Can someone check existence of this dedicated instruction for DeviceNet in GX works2? I use GX works2 1.586L and can't find this instruction. I found this instruction only in Gx works 3 for R CPU.

Hello Colleagues. I have to develop some PLC program for GE Rx3i. I'm a little bit confused with PME function block. As i understand parametrized block in PME it's Function at Siemens, Mitsubishi and others PLC's brands and it cannot use data memory inside. Classic FB in PME has 4 type for inputs Reference, Constant Reference, Value, Value Result. When i need use this types of input? As i understand analogy between PME and for example step7 or gx works:   - "Value" - input variable   - "Reference" - Input/output variable   But i don't understand how use "constant reference" and "value result". Explanation of it in has help, but don't provided any examples.   PME doesn’t provide any PLC simulators and i don't have real PLC, so can't test it in work.   Second question about UDT variables. I created UDT type for example for sensor, then created variable based on this UDT, but i can't set reference address for this variable. how put this variable to Scada or HMI without addresses?      

Hello guys. Could someone introduce me PLC/HMI lineup of GE. I need create a small system based on GE. It must contains of PLC (64 i/o),  1 remote I/O station (128 i/o) and HMI. I have exp with Mitsubishi, Siemens, Schneider. What is an analog of IQ-F FX5U or Simatic S1200 in GE? As i understand it is VersaMax Micro or PACSystems* RX3i? But i guess VersaMax Micro is too simple when Rx3i too powerful. Are there any selection tools for right configuration? What is an actual software for programming? Proficy Machine Edition  using both for HMI and PLC?  

I usually read upd's change logs on native JP site. GXW3 Change log with google translate of course, better if you use chrome with integrated function.

You need just manually install profile for this module. You can find profile in Configuration tool.

What kind of module do you have? FX3U-ENET or FX3U-ENET-ADP? FX3U-ENET Must be configured with "FX-Configurator EN" (additional software). Settings in "PLC Parameters" for FX3U-ENET-ADP.

In GXW3 PID have some strange difference with GXW2. 1) PID doesn't work if you place it in FB. Works only in program body (FC i didn't test) 2)Array of PID parameters must be declared global variables with preset address 3)All inputs/outputs of PID (s1,s2,s3,D) also must be declared as global variables with preset address This is that i have understood during the working with fx5u plc.  

Yes for ME96NSR  "HeadAddress"  must be also "0" as for STLite_4xStation, it's address of 16CCL module. You need correctly set Station of CC-Link, it's depends of occupied station for st lite and ME96.

MAPS not so good for big task, very difficult realization of indirect addressing of tags for faceplates (i had to create manually additional internal tag for this task. i guess must be tag prefix as well, but didn't find this). Graphic object don't have transparent properties and 2 or more graphic objects can't put in on one place. Very sad then MAPS can't work with IQ work system lables. As i understand don't support structured data types from GXW3, just importing with adding '.' between header and item. Also need good knowledge in C# for scripting, spiders and etc.  Maybe i spent not so much time for MAPS, but is very uncomfortable products after using wanderware intouch with system platform (archestra IDE).

Hello i have faced problem with connecting to Premium plc TSX572623. I don't have RS485 cable for AUX or TER port on that plc. Plc has ETY Port, but my attempts to connect with it was unsuccsesful. I tried use 2 software: 1) Unity Pro XL 11, in this software i found tcp/ip communication, made test connection from driver manager, plc had link. But when i trying go online unity informed that plc was busied or something. I have checked Unity PRO XL 11 don't have in hardware configuration model of this PLC. I think problem with it. 2)I found old software PL7 and owner of this plc gave me *.stx project of it. PL7 have model of this plc in hardware configuration, but i didn't find how to connect via ETY port. In menu "define plc address" i can choose only UNTLW01 driver. I had googled before writing this post and found that i need XIP driver. But i can't find this driver on Schneider electric web site. Where i can get this XIP driver and how properly set parameters for reaching connection?

Hello . Customer  ask about help with his system based on DL205-260 PLC + weintek HMI.He said that sometimes ago hmi displayed normal value and system worked, but after that some guyes come and try to do something with plc, maybe read programm maybe something else. PLC have the password that no one know. Now HMI doen't show any adequat value, plc in run state, but no reaction on touching HMI buttons, but in case of disconnecting ethernet cable HMI wrote "PLC com error".This seems like plc is empty, when i try to connect with it, it ask password. I have 3 question: Can be plc memory was erased if someone tryed to input wrong password much times or do something else? How can i know plc have or not have program inside?Can i get access to diagnostics utility without password? Can i reset password and programm, write myself programm and download it?(I read some topics on forum and can't bilieve that no way for resetting password without contuct with automation direct.)

I think those "some guys" wrote "00000000" in this window. What will happen if write "00000000"? Clear plc programm?

yes.

Yes Enet-502 provide modbus tcp, you can find libreary in mymitsubishi portal, but better spend money for Fx5u.

Check your software version, mb this problem was in too old gxd and gxw2 or your CPU can be programming  only in gxd gx_gxw2.avi

Hello this is my test project of RS485 connection with fr-a700. There is 4 FBs and 2 programms.  1 - Modbus via ADPRW function (Using instruction step by step) 2 - Modbus via Predifined protocol CPRTCL function  (Using instruction step by step) 3 - Modbus via Predifined protocol CPRTCL function  (Using one instruction) 4 - Freqrol via Predifined protocol CPRTCL function   1,2,3 fb i have tested with one inverter online. All functionality is good, but maybe some problem with reset command (not tested with 2 and more inverters). 4 FB via freqrol i have used in real project with 4 inverters online, all worked good.  In difference communication via Predifined protocol more faster and easy, then via adprw. Don't forget change communication parameters of RS485 when you will test difference programm. FR-A700_RS485_FX5.rar

I think he mean add some value to alarm message. somethink like this "Alarm - overpressure 4.56Bar", where 4.56 it's actual value which was when alarm occurred. It's easy make in wincc flex OP, but in GOT...

Yes you can use as local port 1250, but remote port of each modbus tcp coupler must be 502.

This problem was in early version of software. You need just update for newer software. GX works 3 latest version is 1.038Q and Gt works 3 1.178L

I have wokred with stlite series, but with modbus-tcp version. Mitsubishi STL-BT1 it is WAGO 750-310. First:  - Download quick start guide for stlite series.  - Download full manual STL-BT1-CClink_UserManual_750-310.pdf Then you need know hom many I/O modules on your STL-BT1 station for correctrly choosen number of occupied stations.STL-BT1 provide cc-link v1, thats mean you configuration can be max 112 DI, 112 DO, 16 AI, 16 AO (16/16 Rx/Ry used for user area). Difference beetwen cc-link v1. and v2. you can read there - click. For better understanding of cc-link read courses (cc link) Example you can download from mymitsubishi (need registration).Search it : FX Series - GX Works2 - CC-Link, Remote I/Os - CCLinkFX_GW2_V100 If you want learn how works FB from libreary CCLinkFX_GW2_V100 download Manual for 16ccl-m.        

Yes, you can check sm8500 status after completation of instruction, but I have used binary output array of completation status of ADPRW or S_CPRTCL. (Head device number which turns ON when the execution of the instruction is completed and remains on for 1 scan.If the instruction is completed with an error, (d)+1 is alsoturned on.)

Hello. I have tested different type of communication between by rs485 fx3u and fx5u. On fx3u side used fx3u-485-adp-mb. In case of N:N and Parallel Link fx5u is more comfortable than fx3u. But, modbus rtu not so good. I made 3 tests: 1)FX3u master with ADPRW function; ADPRW in fx3u supports wider count of modbus functions, most usefull for me is H17 (Read/Write multipleregisters). But when i send telegram to Fx5u with this function, fx5u fall in error (recieved unsupports serial com functions). i have checked instruction manual on ADPRW - FX5u doesn't support H17, only H03 and H10. For read/write from fx5u need to use 2 instructions on FX3u side. 2)FX5u master with ADPRW function; In this test ofcourse i tried use H17, but result was expected - error. 3)FX5u master with predifined protocol. In this test using H17 function on Fx5u side was successful. Conclusion: FX5u better use as master for modbus rtu communications via predifined protocols, and if it used as slave need remember that it doesn't support H17. I hope this information will usefull for sombody.

Fx5 can do it with adapted LQ library. FX5ModbusTCP_GW3_V100.gx3 LQnUDEModbusTCP_GW2_V110.chm

For better understanding read this courses - Learning .

Time to use GX works 2. GX IEC Developer 7.04 (as i know latest verison) do not support FX3u-ENET-ADP.
