When you look at the HMI/GOT application, make sure that you have the input type set to "Real(32bit)". This setting is just to the right of the device setting (in your case D3260), and it's labeled "Data Type". Hope this helps!

Hey guys, I am trying to use my first iQR processor an R16ENCPU, but I can't seem to get my parameters set correctly. I've read through the manuals over and over, and I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing, but I just can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I keep getting this message: To set the RnENCPU as the CPU No.1,... I know that I need to use the multiple CPU settings, but I can't figure out how to enable it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a link to that ICC Ethernet IP module. http://www.iccdesigns.com/software/47-eip4ccpu.html I've used them on several applications now... A very handy tool since Ethernet IP is so widely supported. I'm using a Q series PLC with built in Ethernet, so that's actually the option I was exploring. I'm assuming that if I set the "network parameter" tab correctly in GX Works, that I can link the PLC's via the built in ethernet that way. I just haven't had much luck finding documentation on how to set those parameters correctly, so I've been playing with them this morning, but so far I haven't had any luck getting 2 CPU's communicating. I don't currently have a CC-Link module on this system.

Alright guys, I am currently working on an application where I need to share some data between multiple PLC's in a line. I don't need to send a large block of data, it looks like 4 words In and 4 words Out would work. My question is, what is the easiest way to share data between multiple Q series PLC's? The PLC's I'm using are Q03UDVCPU's with the ICC EI4CCPU Ethernet IP module. Currently all of my communications are being done over Ethernet IP.  I've done similar applications in AB where I could use producer/consumer tags, but I've never done anything like this in Mitsubishi aside from passing CSV files between GOT's for product history records. I've read up on a few different ways to do this, but I'm not sure which way makes the most sense for what I'm trying to do. I also have no experience with CC-Link. So any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply Gambit! I failed to mention that I'm using GX Works 2, in simple project format. (It's the Customers spec) I've worked with GX Works 2 quite a bit, but the only way I've ever done anything similar to this is using the WTOB/BTOW instructions. I have some code that I can make work. It's just in this particular case I have quite a few words of data that are going to be like this (divided upper and lower values) so I was hoping Mitsubishi had an instruction that I'm just not aware of to do this.

Hey guys,  I am currently working on an application with a Q series PLC where I would like to move decimal values into the upper and lower byte of a memory address (word) independently. For example lets say that: Servo Force = D100 Lower byte (D100.0 - D100.7) Servo Speed = D100 Upper Byte (D100.8 - D100.F)   I want to move 50 into the lower byte for 50% force, and 5000 into the upper byte for 50.00mm/s. What is the best/easiest way to accomplish this? Also, these values will change from model to model, so what I would like to do is setup something like a move instruction so that I can quickly update these values on the fly, but also independent of one another. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
