Hi. I have a small problem, that i would like to get solved very quickly, if it is possible. I have a CP1E NA20DR CPU. It has 6 highspeed input. And i would like to use I2.0 as a highspeed counter. But i can't make it count. I have read the user manual for the CPU. And what I have come to, is that if I want to use I0.2 as high speed counter, I should activate the high speed counter 2 in the settings of the CPU. And as I read it, count it as down to A316 and A317. Is this correct??<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30763"><BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30764">And as I understand it, it counts just as soon get a pulse on I0.2. Is this correct?? And no starting and stopping of the high-apeed counter is nessesarry??<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30766"> I can not get it to count the A316. If I, in my program inserts a MOVL instruction, where I move the A316 intto for example. D700, there are no values ​​in the D700, and I can not see that it counts in A316.<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30767">As I understand it, I can also just use a MOV if I did not count on the approx. 65000 pulses - is this correct??<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30768"><BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30769">And if I understand correctly, I reset high speed counter 2 by setting high A531.0<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30770"><BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30771">My setup in the CPU for high-speed counter 2 are:<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30772">Linear mode<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30773">Sofware reset<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30774">Increment pulse input<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30775"><BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30776">What I have is just a 24 volt + digital signal that goes to I2.0.<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30777">I hope you can say what I'm doing wrong?<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30778"><BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30779">Sincerely,<BR closure_uid_udvcf7="30780">Morten Fuglsang

Hello. I have a CP1E NA20DR-A. It has 6 high speed inputs built-in . I want to use i0.2 as high speed input. But i'm not sure on setup and programming, so hope that you can help. :) What I have on i0.2, is a flow meter, which is just a "propeller" which gives digital signals as output. It acts like an inductive proximity sensor. As I understand it, I go to the PLC settings, and within the Built-in input. From what I know, i0.2 = high speed counter 1, Is this correct? I have enabled high-speed counter 1 and selected reset, as "software reset". And input setting to "increment pulse input". Is this correct? Is it true that if I activate the high speed counter 1, it will automatically be counted in the A272, as soon as i0.2 is activatet? Is it counting in 2 words - A272 and A273? What I think about is if I want to move the value into another word. should I use MOVL function? And can I convert the values ​​to floating point using FLT instruction? Hope you have time and desire to help. Thank you in advance Sincerely, Morten

Arr easy now.. I have not damaged anything.. You can use a screwdriver carefully - offcourse if you push hard, it can be damaged - but with very light pressure nothing happens i believe..

I have now tried to make a OS update on one of the panels. But it is still the same. Calibration never ends - the crosses just continues to move. I tried to calibrate with my screwdriver, so i press directly in the middle of the crosses every time. But after 3 minutes or so it have helped nothing.. Strange..

Hi. I have 2 Mp277 10" panels that have got the same problem. When i want to calibrate the panels, the calibration never ends. When i push on the cross on the panel, is it moving to at new place on the screen as it is supposed to do, but the problem is, that is continues to move around and around from place to place (the 5 places on the panel as normal). But it never ends the calibration. i wonder what can be wrong?? The 2 panels were installed at same time - about 2,5 years ago, and get the problem about same time. Maby within 14 days. The panels are placed in 2 different rooms on the facotry, and have been calibrated periodically over the last 2 years. Can anybody help me? Regards Morten

Ok thanks.. Ill make the change next time i comes to the factory..

Is it in settings on the MP277?? Have been looking in flexible, but cant find the "remote" that i have to tick..

Hi. I have a pretty noob question: I can see that people who use Wincc flexible, write alot about faceplates. But i havent figured out why/where/when it is smart to use faceplates. I have never used it my self, and dont realy know what a faceplate is. I was hoping that you could tell me a little about what a faceplate is used for, or maby send a link so i can read about it. I would also be happy if someone have som good examples of what it is, and where to use them.. Regards Morten

hi. Is it possible that a MP277 panel can recieve new program on other ways than to go to the panel and manualy end task, and press "transfer"?? I would like to be able to transfer new program to the MP277 without beeing on the factory myselv if for example i am working from home, and is online to the factory. Now i have to call someone on the factory and make them press the end task and the transfer button.. Regards Morten

--ORIGINAL-- English Danish Dutch French Finnish German Italian Japanese Norweigan Polish Portugese Romanian Russian Spanish Swedish Hi. I am making a project where we are building a chechweigher. And then we woukd like to have a panel (NS8-TV01B-v2) where we can see how the last 100 cans have been weighing. That i would like to do on a graph, where there are some dotted lines that shows the upper weight limit, lower weight limit and ideal weight. And then a solid line that shows the last can. The graph should only update when a new can is weighted. I have been trying to solve this problem for days now, but i cant make it work like i would like to, so i hope some of you have the answer for me :) My problem is that i dont want time on the x-axis. The x-axis sould be 100 points that corresponds to the last 100 cans, and ONLY update the graph when a new can is weighted. Then the graph sould move 1 step on the x-axis.. I have attached some pictures from another machine on the factory that can show a graph just like the one i would like to.. But can i make that in cx-designer??? Hope that it is to understand what I mean. it is a little bit hard for me to explain in english.. Regards Morten

Hi.. I have a question about my flexible 2007 project for you experts I would like to make a script that can print a screen when it is loadet. I have a page that contains a trend, that shows logged temperatures from a two rooms. I have created a scheduled event that activates the screen with my trend at 11.59 PM. Ant then i would like to print the trend. But the problem is, that it takes som time from when the page is activated and until the trend is loadet. Therefor i was thinkins if i could create a script that prints the screen when the trend is fully loaded??? But i have alomost no experience with creating scripts - actualy i have only created 1 simple one before So i was hoping that some of you could help me on the way, or maby tell me if there is a better way to solve my problem. Regards Morten

Hi. I have a winCC flexible project where i have created a screen for a "report" of the last batch that has been running. on this site, i have some I/O fields that shows for example start and end time of the batch and batch-numbers of things used in the batch. It also contains a trend that shows how weight and temperature has been during the batch. The reason why i dont use the create report function i flexible is, that i can't show trends in the reports?? But what i would like to do is that when the batch has endet, i trigger a bit, and then i would like to print my "batch-report" and then save it to a excel or pdf-file. But i can't figure out how to do that. So i was hoping that some of you guys could help me.. I have attached a picture that shows how most of the screen in my project. This is the screen that i would like to save a copy of in pdf or something else, so that the customer can find the batch-reports later on.. I wil appeaciate all help very much Best regards Morten my_report_page.bmp

Thanks forhelp. But i have made it my selv. I have created a DB with a variable of the type DATE_AND_TIME. In a FC i have used the SFC1 to move date_and_time to the VAR in my DB. In flexible i have used a area pointer to point at my new variable in the DB. I haven't testet it yet, but hopes that it will work.. :)

And can anybody help me with my question about creating reports with graphs??

Thanks very much.. That solved a lot. And specialy the one about security. I have been trying a lot to make it work , but don't know why i haven't got it to work, cause it shows that it was actualy very simple But i am not sure that what you explayns in your answer for my question numer 1) is working. The graphics that i am talking about is the ones that are build in to flexible in "tools" and under "graphics". But when i go to properties -> animations -> appearance, and choose a tag and colours, then nothing happens with the colour of the value when the tag is changing from 0 til 1??? It sounds like you (JesperMP) are quite good at flexible - and then you are danish like me I was thinking if you know some danish forums about PLC and Siemens?? Or is it possible to get in contact to you directly over f.eks. MSN or something like that?? It would be nice get some help in danish - I think that it is hard to explayn the problems in english Regards Morten
