RS-232 is a voltage level detected communication with at least three wires (RX, TX and Gnd) between two units, Master <-> Slave, Max distance is 15 meters. RS-485 is a current loop simplex communication with normally two wires (A and B) between a master and several (32) slave units, Max distance is 1200 meters. RS-422 is similar to RS-485 except here we have four wires (A1, B1 + A2, B2) and the possibility of duplex communication, 10 slave units,  Max distance is 1500 meters. Google and you'll find very useful information at wikipedia

@kaare_t you must be very busy or stressed, you're comments/answers are normally always correct and clear.

I would say that the MT/ES is a 100-240VAC PLC Transistor (SINK) output. The MT/ESS is also a 100-240VAC PLC, but with Transistor (SOURCE) output. 24VDC models with transistor output is named MT/DS for Sink, and MT/DSS for Source outputs.  

I would say your client made a good choice

You need to perform a "byte-Swap".

Hello Theo, Thanks for the feedback report. I have been in your situation myself once. Remote Access Viewer is free of charge and the best VNC viewer for the E1000 series of push button panels.

Network Connections -> Network Services Check "Remote Access" and enter Edit for the connection. Make sure the Viewer port is 5900, set any passwords for the connection. Download Remote Access Viewer and you should be able to see the buttons of the panel

Why all the jumping in your second example ? Connect the MOV instruction to the output of the corresponding EQ instruction instead.

Take a look at MAPS Mitsubishi Adroit Process Suite

I stand corrected, sorry  ;) Sorry, currently working on a Mitsubishi project...

Add more alarm words Alarm word 1 - MW100 Alarm word 2 - MW101 Alarm word 3 - MW102 Just add as many you need

That picture don't tell me so much. But I would start by adding the following OB's and set a tag in each OB to create an alarm message to tell you what OB that was called. That will also give you a time stamp when it occurred. OB80 - Time error interrupt OB82 - Diagnostic error interrupt OB83 - Pull or plug of modules OB86 - Rack or station failure  

Hi Ben, As dekor mention, check your error log first to find the reason that caused your stop. Then add the corresponding OB to handle that error, The most certain reason is that the CPU calls a specific OB where you can create an alarm for example. When it can't find that specific OB, it goes to stop.

Download this manual and you'll find instructions how to set up your module starting at page 12.

Hello, Is there anyone here that use or have used the AGI400 series of HMI from Deif ? Would like some input before I buy one for testing. Price seems quite ok, and the design isn't the ugliest one either. Pros and cons please !!

Very true, but easy to forget if you try to solve things differently. It normally takes a while before you find the correct instructions.

As Gambit and Kraykow writes, download the software package and run it in trail mode for a limited time. The other option is to call the local Mitsubishi sales rep. and ask for a quotation. They might have a nice student offer if you are a student.

You might need to refresh your output when using time sensetive updates. Take a look at the REF and REFP functions

Do you use the transistor (MT) or relay (MR) output CPU ?

You could easily write something to test the units. What software do you have ?

Check the internal fuse if the PLC is completely dead

What programming software and what PLC are you using ? There must be more retentive word memory in the PLC you can use.

Could you describe your setup a little more detailed ? If you are using the FX5U-232-BD, how you connected your cable (pin to pin) ........

What cable length do you have between the units ?
