  1. Anybody have experience with this combination? The MVI46-DFNT is a prosoft ethernet module Thanks for any help

    Thanks!
  3. GX Developer help for newbie

    Is it possible to insert a rung or shift the next rung down? In the attachment I want to extend the branch where the cursor is, down.... Thanks for any help gxdev.doc

    Sorry to keep bugging - is there a way to see unused addresses.......I looked through the manual briefly and could not find anything. Thanks again

    Thank you
  6. Yeah - I never ran it, just rattled it off. Should work with a few modifications like you have done though :)
  7. Could you do an integer to string and then a concatenate? See attached example ST14:1 and 3 would contain : The last ST14:9 would be the full "hour:minute:second" STRING_TIME.RSS
  8. Xycom quickpanel model GP270-SC21-24VP

    Thanks - thats what I ended up getting
  9. Does any body know where to get information on software for this product? The xycom website is not very helpfull and their tech support line is very busy.....no one has gotten back to me. I have the app (e-mailed to me) but dont know which software I need to open it. The app has the extension .prw The guy who e-mailed the app does not know. Thanks for any help
  10. Bit Shift

    Can you post the logic that sets the bit in the stack? What TW means is this I think... BST XIC B3:15/7 NXB XIC B3:15/8 NXB XIC B3:15/9 BND OTE B3:0/5 If b3:0/5 is the reject solenoid and B3:15/8 is the "red marked box" or "unload bit" then just add the above two XIC's (B3:15/7 and B3:15/9) The bit that is set to 1 ie red marked box has to move through all three positions

    Thanks for all the help!

    Hello mitsubishi users! I have to make some changes to a program that references one of these modules. I have not worked with these PLC's at all and having a heck of a time getting my head around the instruction set. What would a write to one of these look like? So far I have read that I would use the TO instruction. what do the other words in the instruction mean?... The existing code looks something like this -|M8002|------------[TO K0 K5 H11 K1] Thanks for any help
  13. fx2n-4da

    Thanks - this helped a lot. Question - are the modules allways addressed by their physical position? ie K0 in your example is allways the first module attached to the PLC? Reason I ask is I have several TO instructions referencing KO K1 K2 modules but only one module is attached to the PLC. Iam thinking this is code for a different version of the machine that has 3 expansion modules. All the documentation is in German so not easy to understand whats going on!

    How is the whole module addressed? Like in AB you have slot word bit....here in the TO instruction I have [TO K1 K1 D0 K4] Does this first K1 mean module 1 (first physical module attached to main plc?) Then second K1 means first output referenced? D0 means data in D0 will be written to first output K1 K4 means 4 words of data starting at D0 will be written to channels 1 through 4 (K1-K4)?

    Thank you...what does BFM mean?
  16. slc 505 and ethernet

    If you are going to have a pc at the site, you could just use remote desktop.
  17. Thanks Ken! Things are looking up :)
  18. I have uploaded a runtime from a panelview plus terminal and need to make some changes to the apllication. Dumb question - how do I restore the file?
  19. Iam the writer of the program. I lost the original when my new laptops HD took a sabbatical. I know, should have backed up. This is not what I wanted to hear.
  20. When the PLC loses power the counter is reset to "0". Any idea on how to retain the value? I know you cannot write to the present value tag... The manual is not helpfull at all. I tried "store and continue" mode but no dice. Basically I'm trying to remember a position when the PLC loses power.
  21. If "store and continue" is selected as the storage mode, does the controller automatically store the current position in the preset register?
  22. This is one of the tabs in axis properties. What I'm wondering is, are you supposed see the effects of this filtering on say a velocity tag? If I have a noisy feedback how does this value (in Hz) affect the position of the axis? I tried trending the velocity tag and nothing I did as far as adjusting the filtering frequency made any diffrence...maybe I'm missing something? This noisy axis can obviously affect interpolated position.
  23. I'm sorry you feel that way. Thanks again for the help
  24. Yes, you are correct. The problem is quantization.........thanks for your help. I posted a picture on another board and Peter identified it.
  25. Guys - I know what the problem is , Peter confirmed what I suspected. TWC, you don't understand how interpolated position works with this module...Gerry explained it, you could learn something here.
