This particular panelview's protocol is DF1. Do you know if the FX can talk this?

Quick question. Can you interface a mitsubishi FXON-24MR-ES/UL with an allen bradley panelview 300

Hi folks, I have a temperature transmitter thats reads a thermocouple or an RTD and converts it to a 4 to 20 ma signal. I need a small weatherproof LED type display (preferably a membrane type) that would show the temperature. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could get one?

Thanks alot for the information. I'll enter this and run it and see how it goes. I'll have to sit and study this for a while to try and understand exactly whats happening when. It's easier for me to understand and learn when I can watch what's happening.

I built a simple program, load x1 or x2 or x3 and output to y1. Works fine. I try and add of of your one shot timer examples to any one of the inputs then it won't let me convert it. I'll try and make a pdf file of the ladder and maybe you can show me what I'm doing wrong.

It's an FXON-24MR-ES/UL. As far as what I mean about the OR statement, I want to turn a pump on with an on/off switch OR an external filter timer OR a relay from a heater controller.

Gppw.zip Thanks for the file. It opened and I was able to use one of the examples with what I'm doing. Will 12 vdc work through the outputs, thats what I have for interposing relays. Also, I'm having a problem understanding how to program OR statements. The pump is controlled by 3 different inputs, on/off switch, filter timer, and heater going to one output. I'll have more later when I get better at programimg. I have attached a copy of the program so if you get a chance, you could show me one example of an OR statement. Thanks for your help Rusty

I need a new temp controller for my hot tub. The old control system went south and I improvised with some switches and relays with 12 vdc coils. The temp is controlled now by a moore SPA. I picked up a surplus Mitsubishi FXON plc, this honeywell minipro, and a moore SPA. The SPA switch works ok at controlling the temp, but I would like something with a digital readout and easier to change the setpoint. When I got the minipro, I didn't realize that it was a limit control. I can still use this to insure that the tub doesn't get too hot. I can get the type controller I want from factorymation for around a $100.00, but if anyone has a less expensive solution I'm all ears. I'm slowly getting the plc programed like I want it. I'm an instrument tech by trade, but I don't have a lot of plc experience. Thanks for your help

Hi folks, I know this is a plc forum, but this question is related. I have a honeywell UDC 2300 mini pro limit controller. Is there anyway that this can be converted to a basic on/off controller, meaning I want to take the latching off of the limit relay and control the temperature with it. Thanks Rusty

Thanks I'll give it a try.

Thanks so much, I appreciate that. I hope I'm not being a bother.

I have GX dev 8 FX, the free lite version. It's not wanting to open the file. It says that it's either corrupted or an incompatible version. I tried downloading the examples again and got the same thing. I'll keeping trying to figure this out. I believe that once I figure out some of the timer and counter commands, I'll get there. I don't know where they are on gx dev. Thanks for your help

I downloaded your timer examples but when I open it in access, there is no information there. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Is it supposed to be opened in another program? Thanks

Hello, need some more help with my fxon-24es. I've got my basic inputs and outputs to turn the equipment on and off, but I can't figure out how to do the filter timer. I need the program to turn an output on for 12 hours then off for 12 hours. This needs to be a repeating loop. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Rusty
