Hi all, in relation to this ive managed to get my DO's and my ENET card working, so im just stuck on what configuration is needed for the AI card

Hi all, I am currently replacing a mistusbisi PLC on site, the code etc is going to stay the same the point of the replacement is so that i can add an ethernet card and talk to an archestra graphic that is also controlling other areas of the plant, i was given a backup of the code, with no comments or anyting like that, and the SCADA so now i can see what tags need to animate what and the code can stay the same, my question for now is the hardware set up, how do i do it? i will have my main PLC - FX3u-128M My ethernet module - FX3u-ENET FXON-16EYR FXON-16EYR FX2N-8AD FX2N-8AD

kaare_t, thanks for your post, what i have found to be happening is that if the HMI tag is pointing to M382_F1, then in the plc it is looking at M383, it seems to do this in groups of 8, not sure why perhaps the way the OPC server was configured

Hi all, i'm hoping this will be pretty basic but ive not worked with mitsubishi before so i don't know, i have a mistubishi plc program, with co comments or tags, but thankfully i have the iifix scada to go with it, im having a bit of confusion with the tags though, for example, in fix i have the tags Fix32.SCADA1.PLC2_DIGREG_M832.F_0 Fix32.SCADA1.PLC2_DIGREG_M832.F_1 Fix32.SCADA1.PLC2_DIGREG_M832.F_2 now i can find the tag, M832, in my second PLC no problem, but what does the f_0 mean?

okay, i have now i virtual machine with ifix 5.5 running, two hour demo mode that should be fine, however now that i have restored the project i am still finding the screens / users etc for the previous project, is it actually possible to restore the way i am doing it? from 2.6 to 5.5... can someone show me the correct procedure?

Hi all, i just got myself a backup of a scada, i believe it to be Ifix, the backup file is a .fbk? i have a plc that im replacing fromm siemens S5 to compact logix although none of the code has any tags in it, is there any way i could at least open the SCADA and see whats linked to what? like on a trial version?

Hi all, I was given some S5 code which i had compiled into S7 and now i must convert this into compact logix, I have a decent understanding of both PLC platforms but not to an advanced level, i was wondering if i post some issues can i get some help, namely with STL rungs that wouldnt convert to ladder in the Simatic manager? k starting easy....

Hi all, im doing some work for a site that have sent me their Mitsubishi PLC code that has no comments tags or anything. i believe the scada for this system may be an iFix system, (the screen names are *.grf) is it possible to confirm this theory? how would i know with what version of ifix the project was done? are there trial / demo versions of the software available? all i really need to do is be able to identify what tags are what in the PLC! Thanks Mark

Hi all, i'm trying to convert an existing application on site to Archestra, trouble is the client has supplied me with what they have said is the backup of the SCADA but they are not sure what platform it was developed with, they think it was MX2000? i am not even convinced the files i have are SCADA files... I have not worked with a Mitsubishi system before so i am not even sure what the files of an MX2000 application would look like? can someone tell me? if it is and i have the right files can anyone point me in the direction of a demo application to open it? all i need to really get from it is the bits that the on screen graphics are controlling? any advice or help would be greatly appreciated? Thanks Mark

Thanks chaps, I belive this is making more sense now

Hi and Thanks for the reply, the FROM command is only used twice in my entire program T100 ------ [FROM K0 K10 D1000 K8] ¦ [FROM K1 K10 D1010 K8] Is this perhaps reading all of the channels in at once?

Hi all, This is my first time using anything to do with mitsubishi and i'm honestly stumped! Our client's current system runs off of a FX2N CPU and a local SCADA screen, My project is to replace the PLC with a FX3U model (this is to add Ethernet capability through the FX3U-ENET) and bring the SCADA onto an archestra system... My main problem is that the code i was supplied from site came with no comments, tags or descriptions, seeing as i'm replacing the CPU this shouldn't be too bad but for the archestra i need to know what the tags are, i've bee able to identify the digital signals from the electrical drawings but i cannot find ANY of the analogue inputs, currently there should be 16 AI signals on the PLC. can anyone point me as to what to look for? i've seen that FROM instructions are used to read these in but i can only find three of these instructions in the code? Thanks
