  1. Also very annoying is that if i use a user defined image for multiple button/graphic objects on the same page, even though its the same image used multiple times NQ designer duplicates it in the picture folder and it is now getting very bloated! Very Very annoying is Advanced picture Animation! If set to show when OFF it shows until specified tag goes ON but then does not reappear when tag goes OFF again If set to show when ON it does not show at all!! :(
  2. I am on my second project using the NQ5 series HMI although they are cheap they could make up for lack of functionality with a few tweaks Vertical Property on Text and display objects More math complex operations on numeric displays (eg. First operation tag 1 * tag 2) Text on bar Graph bars (Vertical) More than 4 bars on a multi bargraph Transparency on all objects Be able to draw a grid / table without using loads of line objects Hope they will consider these :)
  3. Timer percent complete

    Michael Walsh you are an absolute Diamond, Thanks so much it works now!!!! FIX(450) did the trick and I totally missed that!
  4. Timer percent complete

    Hi I got the same result now in the plc thanks, I have only 4 options for the number format in the NQ5 HMI Unsigned Int Signed Int BCD Hex And current seeting in the HMI is Unsigned, can i get a conversion from REAL to Unsigned? Multiply it by 10 using *F(456) Floating point multiply? Regards Pete
  5. Timer percent complete

    After bieng able to sign in to the site i Can post again! I still cant get this to work right? I have NQ5 with bar graph set to UINT and my timers are TIMHX(551) CP1E so cant use function blocks or ST. any easier ways? Regards
  6. Timer percent complete

    Thanks alot thats great!!
  7. Timer percent complete

    Dont know how to use ST functions and I have 4 timers i need to do the same with see attached this is my program so far rung 06 is the first instance L10_PLC1.cxp
  8. Timer percent complete

    All I can think of doing is X = TimeDone Y = % Complete so X = Timer Set Value (SV) Minus Timer Current Value (T0) Y = X Divided by Timer Set Value(SV) But how to implement this on the ladder?
  9. Timer percent complete

    Ok I tried to use TIM 0000 N01_psv AND P_0_1s /B(434) T0 N01_psv D10 so every 0.1 seconds that the timer is active the calculation is done and pushed to D0010 but this will not be any good as a timer counts down! anyone done this before?
  10. Timer percent complete

    Hi Me again I have my program almost done thanks to peeps here all i need to do now is figure out how to Calculate percent complete and mov to D0010? Set value for the timer is in D0001 and Timer value is T0000 I made a function block ST but have no idea how to hook up the timer to execute it and the output result moved to D0010 I have attached a sceen shot of the function so far. Thanks in advance
  11. DM Val in Timers? :(

    Thanks I am getting the hang of things now no formal training lol :) One of the nice things I have discovered is that if I use symbols if I change the DM address then I do not need to track all references in the ladder so I will keep them cheers peeps!
  12. DM Val in Timers? :(

    Thanks for the help do I use the DM directly or do I keep the symbols?
  13. DM Val in Timers? :(

    Hi I have started a small program for a filling machine at work using a CP1L and NQ5 I need some help as I am doing the program at home. There are 4 timers and I have set D10001 - 4 with values of 100, 125, 150, 175 I have added symbols for each DM and assigned those to the timers now when I run on simulator these values just show as 0 ? I have uploaded the project file can anyone tell me if i have assigned the values to the timers correctly? This is my first real project so go easy!! Regards L10_PLC1.cxp
  14. NQ Simulation with CX Simulator

    Thanks for the info, going cheaper always has a catch some where! They only did it because there are potentially 11 machines to have them installed. :( if any one from the NQ software team looks at this please make your simulator work with CX Simulator !!!
  15. Hi This is my first post and I am new to PLC / HMI I have the CP1L plc and the NQ5 hmi at work but want to do all the program and screens at home is there a way to get NQ simulator to work with the CX Simulator like the NS series does in CX designer? or is there settings/drivers I can add to CX Designer so I can do NQ series in CX Designer? Hope that makes sense!
