dang, They had to put that remark at the very bottom, lol It's so hard to find this hidden information. Thanks so much! Now it works!!!!!

Hi, I am trying to put a retentive timer in my program. When I use a normal timer, it works fine. like -------------(OUT T1 K50) ----- But how do I use a retentive timer? If i try to put ST10, anything beginning with ST, the instruction doesn't accept it. What's the proper way to use Retentive Timer? Thanks

Hi again, I am using Q Series CPU. Q02H CPU. Thanks... Strange, I looked in manual and it says to enter OUT ST0 ... and should work, but it doesn't accept it.

Here's the error I get.

Thankyou very much Crossbow! Yes, I found it in PLC Parameters :) Slowly getting there... Still lots to learn, lol

Thanks Colin Carpenter. Do I have to set these addresses somewhere or they are configured automatically? If yes, where do I have to go in GX Developer to set them up? Thanks

Hi again, How do I add the comments for any address? ----[X1]----------------------------------------------------(Y1)--- Push Button Motor How do I write Pushbutton and Motor for those addresses? I am using GX Developer, System Q. Thanks

i found it :) its in the menu, by clicking small pencil icons.

Thanks Gambit, it worked great :) Finally, I was going crazy over manuals.. very poorly written.

Hi Gambit, But that is within the same program. What if I create another program.. hwo would I call that? Lets say Main Routine, and then Subroutine called "Subroutine2" How would I call that? like in AB, we use JSR function.

Hi all, Does anyone know how to see data files in Mitsubishi plcs? for example in AB, you can see a list of Binary B3 files, N7 Integer files, F8 floating point files... and inside those we can monitor the data. I was able to use "Entry Data Monitor" but I had to manually put every address. Is it possible just to see it all without entering anything? Like in AB plc?

Thanks Gambit, the Batch Monitor worked :)

I am using GX Developer. Not the IEC version. Thanks

But Bit TT is different. If we use normally closed contact of T1, it means Timer 1 not done yet. Timer TT Bit in Allen bradley stays on while the Timer is actively timing. But if we use [/] (normally closed contact), it will be active when timer is not done. How will we know if Timer is Timing or not? Okay nevermind Panic Mode... You are right.. there is a condition before it... so it will only work if condition is true. Thanks so much.. i was going crazy over it since morning , lol

Hi Panic Mode, Thanks. How do I address it in Mitsubishi? Lets say... ---[X1]----------------------------------------(T1 K50) T1 ---[/]----------------() What bit to use for TT?
