    Went to hook up to a plc (Q26UDVCPU using gx works 2) and I was able to establish communication with the plc in connection destination however when I went to read from plc, this message would appear and it would never read from plc. Half an hour later, I attempted to read from the plc and I was able to. Is this message saying that another person was hooked up to this plc (wireless) and preventing me from hooking up and reading it?

    Is there a way to see the position of a point. 

    The situation is I'm currently on assignment (as maintenance) in a plant that failed to use Position Registers and instead used Points ex p4 instead of pr4. I will probably have to touch up one of the points, and have only touch up position register not an actual point. The biggest issue is that I can't simply move to the desired point and press touch-up. because it is setting the part down on a c/v that is moving and its setting a lawn mower engine on it so there is a hole that the crankshaft has to set in. If it was a position register I would just click position for that position register then change y axis from 180 to 181 (or whatever that is just an example), but since it isn't a position register. So i'm not 100% sure on the best way to adjust it.

    You don't need to use the whole instruction. It'll work if you use it like this: TON_Inst(IN:= g_bool1 ,PT:= T#10s);

    And you can use multiple condition in the "IN:=" section, for example: TON_Inst(IN:= (g_bool1 AND g_bool2 AND ect...), PT:= T#10s);

    If you use it like this, you can refer to the operation condition of the timer in the further program lines like this: TON_Inst.Q

    Using a timer in GX works 3 Structured text makes perfect sense now, but using it in GX Works 2 is different. 

    How does it work in GX Works 2

    Hi BobLfoot, thanks for the reply. I appreciate your assistance. 

    ...I was kind of hoping for a complete list if there is one...

    For example, I stumbled across SD1282 while looking up SP.SOCSND in a manual. It says that it is "Open Completion Signal". That's great but there are some 5000+ SD registers and some 5000+ SM Relays if I remember reading correctly and if I had to randomly come across each one in a different manual to figure out what it is, I would never find most of them. 

    Also SD1282.3 is used in the PLC code but again no explanation as to what the ".3" of the "Open completion Signal" refers to.

    I am coming from using PLCs from a different PLC manufacturer, and now doing a lot of modifications to existing equipment which has already been programmed and hacked around and I need to be able to look up these registers as they are usually used without any comments or explanations and seeing as these registers are set by the system and not directly by the program logic, it is impossible to know what they are and what they should be just looking at PLC program.

    So far the transition to Mitsubishi PLC is very frustrating, largely due to the lack of clear documentation from Mitsubishi. 

     I was able to find a list of the M9000s and D9000s at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2079126/Mitsubishi-Melsec-A-Series.html?page=406#manual

    but nothing for SD and SM..

    Cheers,

    Olly

     

     

     

    Mitsubishi being the greatest plc provider has that information built into the gx works software.

     

    Open the gx works

    Help Tab- GX Works 2 Help.....-Special Relay/Register Help- Q-series plc Help- then you will have information for every single sm/sd.

    I am trying to learn to write structured text using GX Works 1.597x in my spare time . I can't find much information on how to write timers in the logic using structured text. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good descriptive manuals, or some sample code using timers. I have looked through numerous manuals and haven't found any good information on timers.

    I work maintenace and none of my equipment uses structured text, so I currently have no reason to learn it other than just for fun, so constantly reading manuals and learning the same information from every manual and yet not finding a single piece of information containing to timers in ST is getting really annoying and discouraging to learning the new language.

    Thanks in advance

    When bringing labels from GX Works to GT Designer, I have always done the following and have never had an issue.

    In GX Works 2 Right Click on the global label tab in PLC Navigation Tab then click "Write to CSV File".

    Then go to GT Designer and Export the empty Label Group 

    Then Copy and Paste the information from the PLC File to the GOT File (Copy it over one Column at a time and paste it in the corresponding column)

    Then go back to GT Designer and import that file

    Currently on assignment in a plant and they have a Fanuc PLC CPU = AIF01A that controls a conveyors and a Loader System. What software would I need to make a change to the plc?

    I talk about the blocks in the program in the question, which, if you have eyes, can see in the images attached, and i insist, if you have eyes, you can see they have instructions for the hmi.

    Just some advise,

    Don't be an a-hole to the people that are trying to help you. Just because you don't understand what you are talking about doesn't give you the right the be an a-hole to the people actually trying to help you out.

    I am wanting to add a CC-Link IE Control Diagnostic page to the HMI in order to help with basic troubleshooting. I know that there is a template for CC-Link Diagnostic in the GOT-2000 Library so I was wondering if there was a prebuild template online somewhere for CC-Link IE Control. 

     

    Thanks

    Does anybody know what software is used to hook up to yokogawa  factory ace plc?

    My company requires all machine builder to have machine controller by Mitsubishi PLC. However purchasing approved a machine that is controlled by yokogawa factory ace plc and has a Mitsubishi plc in there for show. So we need a way to view ladder and configuration for positioning module.

    Does anybody know the part number for a 4 pin cable needed to hook up to a Mitsubishi WS0 Safety PLC. Not having any luck finding any information online.

    Over the past couple months we have had 5 Yaskawa v1000 CIMR-VU2A0002FAA VFD go bad. While this is only a small fraction of how many we have its still alot to go bad when the line is only 8 years old. 

    They got a ol1 fault. Investigate, find no issues with the motor and wiring. Replace the vfd and the problem goes away for good. 

    Is something causing these vfd to go bad or did Yaskawa simply produce bad vfd 8 years ago. 

    Only experience with VFD is Mitsubishi VFD and they seem to last forever. 

    Background information.

    Used to power 2 foot section of conveyor moving engine heads.

    My current work laptop is and Dell Inspiron 15 3000. It is super slow, and I am unable to upgrade the laptop (Due to the company), but I can upgrade its cpu/ hardwire. The Processor & Memory:10th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1065G7 Processor 1.0GHz12GB DDR4 2666MHz RAMDrives:1TB 5400 RPM SATA Hard Drive. I wanted to upgrade the cpu to something that is faster than a 1.0 GHZ and while the company is giving me money I don't want to halfass and upgrade on it. What CPU is compatible with my laptop and can handle all the different software that I attempt to run?

    GS668 is the sound register.

    You can find the special registers in the GT Designer manaul appendix 12

    HOW DO I ENABLE GS668? IT WON'T LET ME USE GS668 IN THE PLC, BUT CAN YOU EVEN WRITE LOGIC IN GOT OR.?.?.?.?

    I HAVE NEVER MESSED WITH ANY INTERNAL BITS BEFORE SO I AM CONFUSED HOW TO DO ENABLE GS668 IN ORDER TO GET THE SOUND TO ENBLE UNDER PROPER CONDITIONS.

    Good day!

    They asked me to make an ethernet communication between 2 mitsubishi Q03UDE PLCs, without including an additional ethernet module, the truth is I don't know where to start, I would greatly appreciate your help.

    If I remember correctly, I was told by a Mitsubishi rep. that Q03UDE plc cannot communicate with each other unless one of them has an additional Ethernet module. So either you need to add an ethernet module to one of the plc racks, or upgrade plc. I believe Q03UDV is capable.

    I would contact a Mitsubishi rep for confirmation on that.

    Best of Luck

    I want to write logic in my plc (q03ude) to turn on the buzzer/horn (whatever you would like to call it). That is built in the GOT. Is there a special register todo so. If so what is it and how do I find the list of special registers

    If you would like to trigger something at the same time, same day every week, compare the system registers with a time and day you set.

    Are you using a FX system or Q ?

    For FX systems:

    D8013 = Seconds

    D8014 = Minutes

    D8015 = Hours

    D8019 = Weekday (0-6)

     

    Is that the same as q series plc as well?

    !! In this case an output/coil wil be activated just once (at 5am) after running and never be deactived until the PLC will be gone into Stop mode or unpowered...

    Yea because there is definitely not a way to reset a latch.
