Hi, I have a project and intended to use a FX3U PLC and E1071 HMI with a 1000ppr encoder. The project involves scan an object placed inside a blister cavity and decide it is good or bad by a sensor. If the object is good, then the input X007 turns ON and if the object is bad, then sensor doesn't activate X007. The blister is created in a PVC film roll and is in continuous process. A knife cuts the pack as per the size required, then the pack will move to a reject/accept station. The physical length from scan station to knife station is fixed If I use SFTLP, I can track the X007 bit until it reach the reject station and take the decision to reject or accept the object. But the issue is the number of packs from scan station to Knife station will vary according to the size of the pack. Bigger pack size has less 'Bit length of the shift data' (The length of shift register, n1) and smaller pack size have large 'Bit length of the shift data'. It is required to set the 'Bit length of the shift data' from the HMI, but the 'n1' of the FNC 35, SFTLP cannot take a D Register to set the value from HMI and it is a constant K or H. I have seen the operation on other machines using HMI to set the length of the Shift Register. but I cannot figure out the logic behind it. Could anybody please help? Thank you for your time.

Thank you Gambit for your reply. The pack sizes wont be in a comfortable range to add lines for every pack size. But if there are no other options then, will go that road. I was considering that option, but as I always do things in a hard way, I thought I am missing a simply logic for this problem.

It worked, but changed the PLC to FX3U

Hi Guys, Could you please suggest is it possible collect data using MXsheet from FX2N PLC through GOT2000 to a PC over Ethernet cable and ALSO this PC is connected to a network printer. The PC has one ethernet port, so I am planning to use a switch to connect two network cables. The Idea is, collect temperature data on MX sheet and create a graph and print using MXsheet's auto print utility. When a bit goes high, the MXsheet print the file. No need of operator intervention. I tried to connect GOT2000 (GT25**-WX(1280 x 800) to the company server and transfer files using 'File Transfer' function of the GOT. But could not connect GOT to the company server and I was getting Authentication error. So this is the 'Plan B'. I tried this set up on the personal laptop, I was able to collect data and print using the USB printer. But I have no idea would the Ethernet switch be able the PC to communicate with HMI and the network printer at the same time and would it be a reliable connection over time. Thanking you

Thank you very much. It worked for me.

Hi, Could anyone please help me to set a Counter SetValue on Omron CP1L PLC from Got2103 HMI. The Device register on Got2103 doesnt take registers such as D0, it takes DM0. But the 'CNT 001 DM0' instruction doesnt work in Omron PLC. So what should be the Device address on HMI and Counter Set Value register. I am new to both Omron and Mitsi Thank you
