    Hey Guys Still on a learning curve with Citect. So I'm wondering how do you guys display each devices interlocks? I created all my motors and valves via the equipment editor. No I will have a word for process interlocks and a word for safety interlocks. I have a pop-up (super genie) for each device but would like to also if selected, popup an extra window that display each specific interlock. The pop-up will have 16 lines, each line will change colour if the interlock is active. The problem comes in displaying the correct text for that interlock as it will change for each device. Thanks for any advice

    Never used concept but when using unity and unlocated variables with an hmi in vijeo designer...you cannot make a change in the plc and then just expect the link to work... Everytime you make a change in the plc the unlocated variables will have a different "address" to the hmi. So basically you need to update the link to the plc software from the hmi software (built and saved plc file). Then download again to the hmi. Im sure this is the problem you are having

    Hi Tony There is a couple of ways to do this. 1st of have you created a group and user in the security settings? If so then you can either use security on the page that has all the data in or on each data display. What are you struggling with specifically?

    Here is a list of all the parameters. I have never used pacdrive so cant give any tips on that side. But in the excel file you will see the complete list of registers. Next to the name of the register is the logical address which you will select in somove or on the drive's webpage in the in and out scanner tables.

    Well if they say so who am I to argue.... Have you used the unitelway driver in vijeo designer and in twido? Leave all default values as is. Post some pictures of the config setups in vijeo designer and twidosuite Ps I have burnt my fingers many times listening to people that say something should work....and specifically with xbt and twido coms. Everytime I just got the cable as specified in the catalogues and problems were gone

    This is a schneider plc written in Unity Pro The numbers of the block doesnt make a difference at all. Your code looks fine....I think the problem is with using the enable pins on the blocks. I would let the subract abs and gt blocks calculate on every scan so take out the enable pins. Use the %s6 on your move block's enable pins . I would use the same %s6 bit to trigger that and again the last move aswell. Use not alarm and %s6 to trigger the move for the last block

    I dont think it will be possible as you can only assign periodic timing per task. There is another option and I think this is the correct way of doing this. (I just never used it so) You get Timer events and it will do exactly what you want. You create a section and each section will be executed according to the timer settings. Q2. In the rack viewer dbl click on the cpu and then go to animation (While online) Then you will see the realtime scan times per section

    The MAST task can be set to periodic and the time can be adjusted by right clicking on MAST folder then properties. Same can be done in the with the Fast task. I would suggest putting your first task in the FAST and setting it to periodic for 20ms. And the second in the mast task at the top of the list to scan first and setting the mast task to 100ms. If the 2nd task isnt that time dependent just put it in MAST and leave at Cyclic and see if it does the job.
