  1. R60DA8-G & R60DAI8 ISSUES

    Hello all, We’ve been having some issues with Analogue Output cards (R60DA8-G and R60DAI8) on some projects we’ve been doing and wondered if you could help.   On one site where we are using the R60DAI8 we have the following issues: when a valve is failing on site (wired to the first analogue output channel) the ERR LED comes on for the disconnection detection error, should this error come on with a valve failure/instrument failure or should this be for physical disconnection only? Also, site are reporting that the other valves analogue outputs on the card stop working when this happens. We have had a response previously from Mitsubishi support suggesting that this shouldn’t happen (basically they pointed to noise), could be wiring or it could be caused by external noise. Would replacing the R60DAI8 with an R60DA8-G resolve this issue?   General issue for both R60DAI8 and R60A8-G: When the Disconnection Detection Error is no longer present the ERR LED is still on so we have had to issue a reset to the “Error clear request” bit of the card (YF) to clear the error (currently a manual action from the HMI). Is there a way that this can auto clear when the detection error is no longer active? The only other way we can see to make this clear automatically is if the card has an error we could periodically issue the “Error clear request”, is there any issue with doing this if there’s no way to set the card to auto reset? The R60DA8-G has a detection auto-clear enable/disable setting but only has 100 times and from the manual this suggests a 100ms period between resets, so does that mean it only checks to auto-clear for 10 seconds the ERR LED is on and requires the “Error clear request”?   Any help with this matter would be much appreciated.
  2. GOT2000 DIRECT TO D700 PU PORT

    I tried your software, still nothing works. i have tripple double, and more times checked the pin out in my cable, everyone i have asked says it is correct. I must be doing something wrong in the software then. I am connecting my GT2107 direct from RS422/485 to PU port on D700 my devices are then for 1 station only. The Got communication manual says i have to set up Got terminating resistor at 330 see attached picture. my cable pins are on RJ45 1 brown, then 3 is green, 6 is white green, 5 is blue, 4 is white blue the connection to the RS422/485 is  PIN RJ45 to RS422/485 5 to 2 4 to 7 3 to 1 6 to 6 1 to 5   What could i have wrong?   Any one help!!      
  3. GOT2000 DIRECT TO D700 PU PORT

    Hello Every body Peeps, I downloaded the GOT2000 comms manual where it describes how to connect to the D700 DIRECT on the PU port. I then placed the D700 template of the HMI from GT Designer 3 onto a GS2107WTBD. Parametized the drive, etc.   In the template  I changed the devices to match the station of my drive which is 1. i.e. on the template I had Device 0-0 SP122, for start forward, i then put my station no. 0-1 SP122, and that works.   However, other than that, and the stop nothing else works, despite changing the station no. on devices, but I read in manual that if Pr 37 not 0 and SP127 = 1, then HMi cannot monitor SP109-111 which are devices used in my amps and speed setting, which they are not displaying on HMI. I can change Pr 37 to anything other than 0, but i have no idea how to change SP127, which description is Link parameter extended setting.   Any ideas?   Thanks.
  4. GT2107+FX5U+FRE700NE

    Hello all, and HNY! I have managed to connect direct HMI to drives and change parameters, but this time I want to connect HMI with PLC and a E700NE drive. My set up is PLC and Drive on CC Link IE Field Basic, then HMI via ethernet. I can control drive and have fancy graphs, but what I am struggling is with the Parameter template screen, to change parameter of the drive from HMI. I have tried to set up CH2 with Freqrol E800/E700NE batch monitor, but does not work, not sure what to check/do.   does any one have any experience with this type of set up?   Cheers.
  5. GT2107+FX5U+FRE700NE

    Hello, yeah, I am desperate and trying anything, I say in the template you sent me, which i found the manual for it, it does that? Since you have 1 cc link IEFB drive only, this will be Network 1 station 1, but somehow conflits with the FX5. My next step is setting it up as station 2, but i still dont understand why, it should be possible to do it, without so much faffing about...   Cheers!!
  6. GT2107+FX5U+FRE700NE

    Thank you Gambit, I got the Sample Screen Manual, but its not working when I add CH2 for the PLC. Closest I got it to work "ish" still no parameters being written, is with the standard E700 template, in the system library modified for E700NE variant. Then when I use the parameter is when it does not work.   CBelectrotech.GTX
  7. FX5 PWM Y0 OUTPUT

    sorted! well it appears you cannot simulate PWM. not sure why...... if you have an output turning on off (pulses) you can control the on and the total duration of the cycle using PWM, so you can control directly DC motor speed or solenoid valves using this instruction. dont need HIOEN, just the instruction PWM, that's it. but you need hardware as the software will not simulate it.
  8. FX5 PWM Y0 OUTPUT

    Hello everybody peeps, Todays challenge is to get this PWM going on Y0. I know that we can do this 2 ways. I am wanting to do it via Parameters and the HIOEN function. but despite following the PWM guide I cannot get it going on simulation, Y0 is not turning on at all. I have set parameters as per attached, and did the same code is on the guide, but still nothing.   the code in the guide goes in error at the moment. Let me know your thoughts.   Many thanks.
  9. FX5U MODBUS-TCP Communication with Jetson Nano

    I managed to get by using SImple PLC comms, so easy....compared to other methods.
  10. Mitsubishi EDS file location? (GX Works3)

    i had a god but i cannot find it. i can find others, but not for that product, i would suggest you contact your local Mitsi rep, or drop them an email. probably is because is not made by them, and is quite new or something...
  11. FX5U MODBUS-TCP Communication with Jetson Nano

    hello team, i am in a pickle! very similar situation.   tried this FB which seems to do what i need, but i am not a Modbus expert. 1st the connection would not open, the when i got it complete, the command completed didnt happened, i put 2 fb one for read other for write, i i got it to complete, but gives me general error.   Drive is set up ok, FRE700-NE for modbus, i can modscan it no probs, but is the PLC i am struggling with.   i just have 1 slave, ip 192.168.3.1, PLC 250, yet i cannot set freq. and start forward....really frustrating, this is why i prefer CClinkIEFB.   Any advise?

  12. Online change gx works 2 and q02cpu

    suggestion. untick labels when programming, then just upload to plc labels on their own.    
  13. GOT2000 DIRECT TO D700 PU PORT

    nice one! cheers.
  14. USB drive for HMI GS2107-WTBD

    forgot to say, re- installing GT Designer 3, puts USB drivers back on.
  15. USB drive for HMI GS2107-WTBD

    very likely your version of GT Designer is very old. can you try open a new project and select the GS2107? if you cant, you need to update it so it can talk to newer HMI GS2107, when you update your software, you will see from pull down menu gs series, but then choose the one which matches HMI, note there is a GS2107 WTBD -N, MEANING new type, which has the VNC server, which the original GS2107 WTBD didnt have. Hope that helps.
  16. FR-E800 CCLIEFB COMMS RESET

    Good day all, Does anyone know if we can reset a CCLIEFB drive from HMI if comms fail, or can only be done via keypad reset button? Cheers.
  17. FX54AD

    Hello all, Quick question - I know where to set the "number of samples" for averaging the analog inputs, but is there a buffer memory or similar that I can access without having to resend the application to the PLC ?    What I want to do is just fine tune one channel as the system is operational. cheers.

    you are a wizard! witch craft!
  19. MELFA ASSISTA COBOT

    thanks all, is visual box that is more of the problem, but i got my way around like Gambit suggested after I watched videos.
  20. MELFA ASSISTA COBOT

    Hello all, is any one aware of any good free training, guides, etc, I am using the RT Visual Box and I like it a lot, but need a bit more in depth info and manual is ok, but it does not explain things in great details more like a general view.   Many thanks.
  21. MELFA ASSISTA COBOT

    thanks Gambit, i found youtube videos. i found very limited that you cannot put coordinates? how can I say move 100mm straight? also annoying you have to define as a position initial state of simulation, otherwise i get the possitional error.
  22. Citect SCADA interface

    i am trying to set up RS232 FX3U232ADPMB, does any one know how to set it up? i am using CITECT V6. If that helps.
  23. Q64AD Configuration

    As it happens, this morning all was ok. I wonder if the scada had something to do with it...
  24. Q64AD Configuration

    Hello all, I have a breakdown with a Q64AD, never seen it...error 2100 with Q02 CPU, SP. UNIT LAY Error. ok, so I have a main Q312BE, slot 0 and 1 are comms. 0 is ethernet, 1 is CCLINK, then the extension rack is Q612BE, I have slot 3 with the 1st Q64ad, out of 3 that are in that rack. despite having swap all of them trying to see which one is faulty, I still get same error, the software was done usign the utility package, I wonder if i have to follow a procedure or something, because the plc dont see the extension rack in the IO assigment (PLC Parameters), no mater how many times we set it up in PLC parameters, but when you do a system monitor, it sees until the analogue, which it is called intelligent. not Q64AD, rest of cards inlcuding the ones before that one in the extension rack, are seen and show their model. I am getting new cards, i just think it is extrange all analogues are nor working, or cannot see some digital output cards past the analogue.   the error 2100 shows, drilling down states slot no/something no.. 15, I/O 11 (no idea what that I/O 11 means)   Any ideas?   Cheers.
  25. Change PLC model in GX Works 3

    If when you start a new project you dont have it like showing below, you will need to update software. but you can do it for free, just go to "mymitsubishi" website, if you dont have an account is free. https://gb.mitsubishielectric.com/fa/mymitsubishi/register
