  1. Why is it difficult to find GE manual?

    GE Fanuc has finally made it easier to locate their current manuals also. You no longe need the SSO either. (Single Sign On logon credentials) http://globalcare.gefanuc.com/search/glbCareProdManuals.asp
  2. Program Size

    The most accurate way is to go online with the CPU and select "Status".
  3. Function Blocks

    Two things to look for. 1. Verify that the variable has the correct data type. 2. Verify that the variable has the correct number of paramaters and that each of these have the correct data types. If this does not help send GE Fanuc an email at support@gefanuc.com along with a description of the problem and a backup of the project.
  4. Load Error

    LM9030_9.05_Special_1.zip Here is the patch mentioned.
  5. Cable For Quick Panel Qpi31200epb-b

    QPCablePinouts.pdf Here are pin outs for the cables mentioned above.
  6. Multiple Hmis, One Csv

    Maybe, what syntax are you using?
  7. Cable For Quick Panel Qpi31200epb-b

    QPCable.pdfFor up/down-loading use HMI-CAB-C49 if using serial or Ethernet if that is available. It is not parctical to build your own serial cable for this, it includes TTL to RS-232 converter. The SLC5/04 can use a couple of different ports and protocols, which are you going to use? You can select and build the majority of your own cables for the QuickPanels. See the attached file.
  8. Help With Lm6 Conversion

    For the benefit of non-GE Fanuc programmers. The Array Move (ARR_MOV) function in the 90-70 (or 90-30) will mimic this.
  9. Transfer data between 5 Versamaxes

    Not from Russa, but rUSs. The "Produced" data is the data sent to or written to the other PLCs or Groups. The "Consumed" data is read or received from the other PLCs or Groups.
  10. Transfer data between 5 Versamaxes

    As you have VersaMax PLCs and Ethernet, the PLCs are, hopefully communicating using Ethernet Global Data (EGD). This is very well documented in Proficy (Cimplicity) ME software. I suggest that you get a copy of one of the other PLCs and study the EGD configuration, you will need the layout of all of them anyway to tie yours into the system. I think that you will find EGD very easy and efficient to configure and use. You can use any of the data types, %I, %Q, %G, %M, %R, etc. The important thing to remember is that this is NOT AB or S, so learn what 'tools' you have from GE Fanuc, Proficy ME, EGD, and how the hardware is controlled by these tools before you "assume" anything. It is all very logical, straight forward and works very well when done as designed. You may want to start by getting your GE SSO from http://globalcare.gefanuc.com/ and searching for VersaMax and EGD to download the hardware manuals.
  11. F650 relay communication to pc

    You can get it here: http://www.softwaretoolbox.com/store/item_...tempage_688.asp
  12. GE ethernet protocol specification

    I have never seen the GE Fanuc Ethernet specifications in an online manual. However, they call it GE SRTP and it is very similar to SNP packets over ethernet. You can get a good feel for what the PLC is expecting and how it reacts by reading GFK-1541, which is available from GE Fanuc's web site. http://globalcare.gefanuc.com/ You will be better served by purchasing the Developers Tool kit by contacting your local GE Fanuc dealer, or there are several people who sell OCX and OPC kits that range from $0-$1000. GE Fanuc is happy to sell the specs, to even competitors as this also promotes GE Fanuc PLC usage.
  13. quickdesigner

    You'r right, Quickdesigner 3.7 is the current version, it is not available online but you can get a Demo version from your local GE Fanuc distributor or representative. Check www.gefanuc.com for who that may be.
  14. quickdesigner

    Where ar you located? It may not work outside the US. If you are outside North America there should be an Asian and European equivalent. Please contact your local GE Fanuc representative for help.
  15. SNPX protocol information

    Go here and search for GFK-0529 or SNP Communications: http://globalcare.gefanuc.com/ This covers SNP in detail, you alredy have where SNPx is different.
  16. SNPX protocol information

    Go here and search for SNP Communications: http://globalcare.gefanuc.com/

  18. RTU IN PCM

    Sorry, I do not but this is open source code, you may make it do anything that you want. If you do not have the time or knowledge, I would suggest hiring someone. Maybe if someone has already done this change they would be willing to share it. As stated in the documents that come with this file, it is not supported by GE Fanuc.
  19. Unsupported Text Wrap in Button Object?

    You are right, I do not know this. Please reply back here if you find out. You may want to ask the people at support@gefanuc.com. One work around would be keep the Label blank and use two 'Text' boxes on the button.
  20. Unsupported Text Wrap in Button Object?

    "Ctrl-m" will do what you want. Nice looking screen.
  21. ActiveX controls and CME 5.0?

    What is the DTV component? Could there be a work around?
  22. ActiveX controls and CME 5.0?

    Probably never well fully (everything registerd in XP), as even CE.NET does not have all of the APIs. You will need ActiveX written for CE.NET and supported by the Vendor's embed. I do not know when or what GE Fanuc plans for this.
  23. sending a byte

    An ASCII character is an 8 bit byte, so you are all set.
  24. Subroutine Question

    No, only a Call that is used just for setting up a Comm_Req, or doing just Math, or some other functions that are better used with 1_Shots. You still need to remember that any coils turned "ON" in a Called Block will stay on if the the Block is no longer called.
