  1. Recipe Editor

    Hi Bertie.. I am deploying this to a another machine. What I normally do is to Create Runtime Install Disk option from the project menu and copy all the files created.. including the .REC file.. to the other machine. Is this correct?
  2. Recipe Editor

    Hi Bertie.. I definitely have not set any security while creating the recipe.. I did log in using the password I had set for Designer.. but to no avail.. Have you successfully used the Recipe function for Cx Supervisor? Regards
  3. Recipe Editor

    Hello everybody.. So, I've been using CX-Supervisor V2.11 for the past couple of months with very minimal hiccups. After playing around with some of the additional features.. the only thing I cannot seem to get working 100% is the recipe editor. For some reason, after creating a recipe in development environment, and using two buttons with the Upload and Download Recipe macros, the download feature does not allow me to first edit any recipe constants.. and also the upload function does not allow me to edit any constants.. According to the User Manual this should be the case. I was just wondering if anybody has had the similar experience? Kind Regards Blak EDIT: Just wanted to add.. during the runtime environment.. when bringing up the floating menu and clicking on Recipe Viewer, there are no recipes displayed. However, when checking the recipe summary, it gives you the correct amount of recipes. How is this possible?
  4. CX-S Unit and Scale

    Hi PdL, Yup, that solves my issue 100%. Works like a charm. . Thank you very much
  5. CX-S Unit and Scale

    Hi PdL, Yes, I have played with these setting as well.. but to no avail.. I might not be explaining my problem correctly, I'm implementing the runtime environment on a NSA12 (Dyalox) unit. When editing a value(analogue), the numeric keypad is displayed for input. If inputting a value of 1.5, the .5 is ignored and the value at the PLC will in fact be 1. How is it possible to send a inputted value of 1.5 to accepted as 15 on the PLC side? For the integer format under the point editor.. it is impossible to add any decimal values for the settings you have posted. Also, using 1.5 again, if I was to take the point name and divide it by 100 (to get my scale of 0.01) it takes the value you enter and divides it by 100. In other words.. if I input 1.5 the .5 is still ignored and I get 0.01. To get 1.5 I need to input a value of 150. But my client doesn't want this method of inputting seconds. I just can't imagine that you would need any sort of scripting to do this.. Thank you again for the replies guys.. I really do appreciate it.
  6. CX-S Unit and Scale

    Good day to all, I'm currently developing on CX-Supervisor 2.11 and quite new to this SCADA package. I'm very familiar with NS Designer. My development for the application has gone fairly easy but I have one very significant problem. I use quite a few of high speed timers within my CX-programmer FB's and these time values should all be accessible via the SCADA screen. Now using the 'text' object coupled with the 'edit point value(analogue)' function via the animation editor, I've ended up with a format like this '##.#' I cannot however get the value to scale correctly. If I need to insert '1.0', I end up with '10.0'. All my points are integers. In the past using CX-Designer I used the Unit and Scale function and my scale was always set to 0.01. This would of course apply to a high speed timer within the CX-Programming environment. My question is, how could I apply a conversion factor of 0.01 for an integer? And am I able to display 10 BCD as 1.0 in the text object. Has anybody has similar issues? Being familiar with NS Designer and having to implement on CX-Supervisor. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You
  7. Remote node interrogation on Ethernet networks

    Hey thx for all the help. I've set up a heart beat on the remote plcs and it seems to work 100%! Much appreciation to both of you! :)
  8. Remote node interrogation on Ethernet networks

    How would this be achieved.. and how would 1 monitor for the stoppage?
  9. Remote node interrogation on Ethernet networks

    Nope, I need to do the check at the CS1G-H CPU side, not via laptop.. but thx for replying.. nobody else seems to have an idea..
  10. Hi everybody, I just need some help regarding remote node network participation? I've setup communications between CS1G-H CPU using CS1W-ETN21 and CJ1M-CPU12ETN. My ladder program consists of basic instructions namely SEND and RECV. Also I'm using ports 1 - 4 and will eventually be using ports 0 and 5 - 7 for another CJ1M-CPU12ETN What is the best way to check whether or not the remote node is actually on the network? Via the PING FINS command? Basically, i just wanna know when the remote unit which is in this case the CJ, is actually physically connected? Any help is much appreciated Kind Regards
