Thanks. I found this function to read actual used tags CitectInfo("General", "", 29) The result of this funcion is the sum of all tags working actually on the plant? In example:when i start working I have zero and step by step, calling and using variables, this increases? Thanks again!

Hi all. I have a simple question but i don't find a solution... In the past when I used Citect v6.1, after program compilation I had a screen with used tags. It's possible to have it too on V7? Probably i dont remember the correct setting. Im coming crazy:helpme: thanks!!!!

thank you very much. i test it next week and I let you know!

Hi. to use Hakko applications you must install V-SFTV5, i don't remember if it's free or not. then, inside you have lot of helps pdf files where you can find connections and instructions. remember that upload is avaiable only if software is not protected. http://www.hakko-elec.co.jp/en/support/index.html here you can find more informations

tag1 = TAGMW54.1 bitand 1 you read the first bit to read the second tag1 = TAGMW54.1 bitand 2 the third tag1 = TAGMW54.1 bitand 4 i save as label the value 1 as bit0, 2 as bit1, 4 as bit2 etc etc. so i can simply write tag1 = TAGMW54.1 bitand bit0

Hi all, i have a little question for you. I've used in the past, for an application, some Omron readers and they are working very good. Now I have a new application to do but it's more difficult to find the correct Reader. I have to read a code EAN128, 36 digits, resolution about 0,17 mm and a range of read from 10 to 600mm more or less. Do you know any reader that can do that? I searched in Omron, Datalogic, Sick and Keyence models but only one of Keyence (BL1300) seems to be similar but not 100% correct... If you have any other info or model or company that do that please let me know! Thanks Valerio

Hi Bob, thank you for your advice! We changed the mechanic of line, so maybe we can stay on standard economic barcode reader. We found also solution with Omron Vision Camera but the price were too high and we decide to modify the machine thank you again!

mmm bad new!!! i think they have a "moxa nport-de211" but i dont well understand how it works. it change rs232 signal to ethernet plc is a "slave" and PC read and write. which protocol from plc to moxa? no protocol, rs232 cable, port setted as rs232 i suppose. which protocol from PC side? (standard modbus TCP??) or there is something to program on moxa to choose in example DM to transmit (i.e. = dm200 -> 30001) thanks!

so, i have some news from my plant. the people that manage external pc told me that in the past, same situation, they used with Omron CPM2A plc a moxa nport de211 in this way CPM2 - > rs232 -> moxa de211 -> ethernet -> PC (i think modbus tcp master) they were the active part on communication reading and writing PLC. the question now: is that moxa a kind on gateway that must be programmed (kind of protocol) or is a simply converter for rs232 to tcp server, where all the reading/writing commands come from PC? because in this case i can consider to use the same converter (programming only COM board and ethernet address) thanks again. hope to find a solution. i'm a newbie in protocol field p.s. is it possible that the reason of all my problems is that im using an builtin ethernet board (CJ1M-CPU13-ETN) that does not support socket operation?

yes, I have a cross cable and I can ping PLC from my PC.(no switch on the middle) I also connect another PC to mine (using in mine Modbus Slave and in the other Modbus Poll) and it works. I dont know what I can check! Everything seems well done. But PLC can't send any packet.no communication leds..only RD every 10 secs

I tried with base1 PLC Addresses but i think the main problem is that Onboard ETN card doesen't send any packet to PC. In communication Window of "Modbus Poll Slave" i can't read anything. Blank Page.And no SD Led Light on PLC. Only at first Cycle it seems.

Hi Nibroc, I've tried to change as you wrote (i tried also before you wrote) but no way to work. Did anyone used the same program "modbus slave"? PdL did you tried in the past?? everything seems so simple but i'm really confused... I have another doubt, while i'm trying communication. I never seen the SD Led Light on Onboard ethernet card but only RD (every 10sec approx) It seems that PLC doesen't send any packet and it's strange! thanks again

I think i'm using function 04 in "modbus slave" program. i have an error on "CmndErrorCode" -> "1025" while is not going FB, but when it goes on my word turn to 0 so i suppose no error (D100 is error word) the plc ethernet card(onboard) has only address and subnetmask set, no more. i attach also the main settings i've done. but not working thanks for help!

Ok! I can use modbus Poll and Slave succesfully between them. I connect them together using as server TCP address my Notebook IP(192.168.100.11). But when i try to connect with PLC using the FB given by RDA (i modify on program only the address on 192.168.100.11 and my ETN21 has 192.168.100.10) i can't read the parameter written on modbus slave (as i understand i should read d200 to d230) firewall is deactivated... any suggestion? thanks again and sorry for a lot of question

thanks. I was trying to use it last days but with no success I try to connect with "modbus TCP/IP" but he asks me for remote server address. I think I have not a server but a client/device (my CJ1 PLC with FB given by RDA) isn't true? If as server address I write my PLC address I have a timeout error. Some good advice? I don't know at all this protocol and I'm trying to learn thanks to all for patience!

Thanks to all for answer. while i'm trying to use this program i probably need a modbus master to check data exchange. i don't have the final application avaiable (managing control) but i would like to test this example with a kind of modbus simulator. do you know any modbus master/server that i can use? thanks!!!

thanks RDA, im looking at that file and i'm trying to find a way to check it because i dont have now a modbus master at office... did anyone used it successfully? thansk again at all

i'm sorry, i only answered to a question.. i've not translated that because i didnt understand it well. sorry again

non so se ho capito giusto, comunque intendo TCP modbus si

thanks. i just ordered new develop key

Hello to every one. I have a simple question for you. Is it possible to program for wonderware runtime v10.1 using a v10.0 develop key? or must i have a v10.1 develop key too? Thanks in advance!

probably i found an answer too http://pacwest.wonderware.com/web/Support/...x?LinkID=202526 Upgraded license file for InTouch 10.1 is required. InTouch 10.1 will not work with the license file for InTouch 10 or any earlier version. what u understand???

Hi there, i need to use to command a variable like "pulse" (the same of "temporary" on NS). But i didn't find a specific command on script list. Have you any advice? thank you! Valerio

Hi! Im working with scada since last year and i have a question that i cant resolve by now. when i load my source code on pc i must let installed Citect explorer. so my customers can read my sources... i found a solutions deleting some DBF files. program works good but when someone try to open the project he cant read it and then, once he open it, he cant run again the project. so i now if someone try to read my code... but problem is that if i have to modify it i cant send backup files cause i have not protection (i cant delete the DBF files) i would like to know if there is a simple way to protect my software or if it's possible to run my citect project without let installed explorer... thanks a lot valerio

Hi there, i've just finished my project with intouch. im ready now to translate in russian but i have a little problem i've exported the dictionary of my project and was saved in xml format. how can modify it? there is some internal wonderware tool or have i to use some external software? I have to translate in russian language so i need an editor that support cyrillic thank you so much valerio
