That fixed, thanks Guys. No idea how that happened...

Hi, Has anybody come across this before? Just moved to v8.91 and all my old program statement lines are now blacked out? They are fine before conversion.

thanks once again crossbow

Hi all, GOT975 connected with BUSS to A2US and some cards. Two general questions that I cant seem to find the answer to in the manuals. Dose a GOT 975 have a limited output number eg x90 to x??. As my program grows in complexity im wondering will i get to a limit of outputs i can use? Just one more, do GOT 900's have a head address? iv kept my inputs (x90 +....) above all the other cards in case, but dose it mater? and if they do are they a 32, 64 or ?? point card/device.

So 3 digits (1,2,3,) is a data length of 3. So for my aplication it would be: 876 456 324 546 data length 12 (3 x 4)? The softwear I have found is "Advanced serial data" by AGG. That is unless some has a better program that will spit out a simple .CSV (876,456,324,546,...) file which would be perfect A.S.D. has the option to read the data as ASCII.

The reason for saying that is the data i got from terminal was a smiley white face, smiley black face and a black diamond and the only way i could make scene of it was getting some other software to read it as hex.

Ok, that excellent, now when I run HyperTerminal I get some data though I believe it’s in Hex. How do you work out the data length? I will be transmitting in groups of 3 digits e.g. 812, 768, 234, ..... ( humidity’s 81.2%, 76.8%, etc) I’m hoping to log this data once a day. D200 = 812 D201 = 768 D202 = 234 [ mov d200 d1] [ mov d201 d2] [ mov d202 d3] Is there a way of getting the data transmitted in Dec so I can use the data in excel for later analyses?

Right, I have switched round to 4, non-protocol mode. I now get X87 on. I have simplified the program to what I think is the basics. The send signal, is it Y80 or Y90 as the book says Y(n+1)0 to me that is Y(8+1)0? I have tried both to no results. is it the card settings may be? computer link write during run: disable baud: 19200 data bits: 8 Parity bit: none stop bit: 2 sum check: not set and the RS485 to RS232 is set the same with termination ON.

GX ver 7.18, There is no "GOT Transparent Mode" to select? There is a "via MAC/MTA transparent mode". Is this the same? I am using a BUSS cable.

I tried to program my PLC though the GOT this weekend and GX could not find the plc. I'm I missing a setting in the GOT or somewhere else?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. The Head address should be correct 0- A1SY10 - 16 h00 1- A1SX42 -64 h10 2- A1S68AD -32 h50 3- EMPTY -16 h70 4- A1SJ7124 -32 h80 If I switch to non protocol I do not get a card ready signal, X87. Would this be correct? Do you ignore this and just output Y81? I have tried just pls Y81 and I still get nothing out.

Hello once again, I’m trying to get some data stored in my PLC to a PC for data logging. My setup is A2US with an A1SJ71UC24-R4 in slot 5. The cards before it are A1SY10, A1SX42, A1S68AD and EMPTY. I want the PLC to send its 3 digit number (relative humidity) on a timer. I have the RS422 card connected to a 422 to 232 converter and some software monitoring the com port it’s in. I have followed the manual and tided to use one of the examples as a template. I have matched the 422 to 232 converter’s settings to the A1SJ.... card settings. I have tried to use Protocol and No protocol but nothing would appear to be being transmitted. I would like the PLC just to transmit the data without the PC requesting the data. This is to keep the PCL program as simple as possible, and not having to deal with receiving data as well. I have attached the code i’m trying to use. As always any pointers / help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks once again.

I have read on other posts that I can use the RS232 on the GOT as if it was the programming port on the PLC it’s self but I have not tried it.

Hi all, I have an A2US and a GOT975 connected by BUSS connection. I also have some A1SJ71UC24-R4 RS485/422 cards. My question is can the RS232 on the GOT be used to send data to a PC for data logging or will I have to get to grips with my RS485/422 cards?
