Hi, I'm using a kinetix 5500 on a indexing table 0 - 360 I have to use the shortest path so I'm using "Rotary Shortest Path" as the move type. For tracking product reasons I need to detect rotation direction? Anyone know if this is possible? i.e. detect cw or ccw etc? Thanks in advance

I'm currently doing a Safety Program for a current project. However something is arising that I am just curious about. On an overall safety check rung which I have made RC60_Safety_Ok a controller safety global tag, every few seconds the tag seems to go high then low, a kind of fast flashing every 40/60 seconds. (See Safety rung Attachment). When I branch all inputs it keeps happening to the output RC60_Safety_Ok. That output is only wrttien to that rung and nowhere else. I are putting it down to the periodic safetytask configuration. (See SafetyTask Config Attachment) Obviously, this is causing me issues with the safety_ok losing signal in any routines that requires this tag. Has anybody any ideas why RC60_Safety_Ok keeps losing its signal? Thanks in advance. 

Thanks for that clarification Kaare. Appreciate it. Mitsubishi recommend flash cards q2mem-2mbf or 4mbf which, in fact, are made by Mitsubishi.

Hi All, Having a bit of a problem with memory being taken up in the Q03UDE when I do a download from Gx Works 2 with only a few lines of code. See Attachment Pic1. I'm using the QD77 library function blocks. Most of the memory allocation seems to come from "Symbolic Information". As i'm newish to Gx Works 2 i'm thinking there is a parameter i'm missing? Im mean the entire memory is taken from a few lines of code. I have inserted a compact flash into the CPU but the pin configuration seems to be different in the CPU as in the pins seem to be offset and a normal compact flash does not seem to fit. Is there a specific type of flash card that is used in the Q03UDE Cpu's does anyone know. See pic2 attachment. This is holding me back as I can't add anymore function blocks!

Hi, I'm creating a design for a HMI and have a quick question. I have an overview of a machine on my initial page set as a bitmap image that came from design. On this machine image are several stations. I want the user to be able to enter a sub window by clicking on the appropriate station from the overview image. For example, on wonderware, you can create a rectangle or button, tag it and just send to back. This is not possible to do on CX supervisor. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
