One thing I had discovered was using a built in port, with a heavy load process, and running several ethernet connections to trace database, HMIs, other PLC etc.. was when monitoring the code, it would overwhelm the built in port and shut down connections.  We switched the external traffic to a -100 card, and all communication issues were resolved. 

OOOOOOOO I didn't realize the 00h was required, i thought it was showing that as a place holder like a string did not need to fill both Bytes.  

I am trying to set up a string compare [ $= "Text" D### ] . But it's not passing when it should. So i tried pushing the string to a place holder register [ $= D###1 D##2 ], but its still not matching, but when i just do a double compare [ d= D##1 D##2 ] it passes.    How is my string failing but the numbers obviously match?    Struggling to get picture to attach. Please see here for example.  https://imgur.com/a/w1ckk64  

I believe alarm ID allows you to set up separate alarm histories, but all of my systems that is just left at 1 (and also set to 1 in the User alarm observation) Under the Alarm Display > Setting Tab > Make sure Display Target : ALL ALARM, this should show all current alarms

You can either reset everything OR if possible connect to a larger resolution screen.  I have this issue all the time bc at my desk (QHD Sreen) i set the cross ref list on the opposite screen. But then line-side that list remains off screen. 

instead of using FIND for the D10020 address, which will only show contacts or coils directly addressed as such.   use cross reference. That will show any place that address is used in Bulk moves See examples from my program. 

OH yeah of course good catch.  I don't know why XOR was in my head.. 

This function does exist, and its EVAL     You will have to clear that "G" with a XOR "FF00" D200 first

OH going from ASCII String to numbers... not sure that happens without some ASCII lookup table    What control do you have on that the input field / method?  It would be better fix the data source than write a algo to convert

will this string always start with "G" ?  If so, Change your HMI input to be Float input and just add the G as a prefix visually If not, then a block move (BMOV) starting at the second register of your string address would drop the first characters. 

Yes, you would want to add a start/end address that would be retained always. If memory space allows, i would just set this to the entire range of D. If not I typically would use 10,000 - end, that way I know the data location is up out of range with the rest of my address mapping. I believe the HMI can have it's own memory, but I don't utilize that so i am not 100% sure.  

Project navigation  PARAMETER > PLC Parameter.  Then select the device tab. Any data points listed under Latch 2 Start - End will remain through power outages / reset.

I would check the physical motor install, verify bearings are good, check runout / alignment, things like that would cause the drive to be working too hard. Also recommend plugging into the drive and using the software to monitor the drives performance. it might point you in the right direction.

  With that low number of I/O  I would bet its mostly an order of operations & timer based system. It might be a good idea to try to create a map of the functions you KNOW it does and build from there.  A scope or meter on the outputs to get a timing and order. if there is a HMI look for any settings / parameters.

Glad to help.

PLC Parameters > Device Tab. Set a start / end address for the Latch 1 / 2 as needed.  Latch 1 is data retained during power cycles but reset with Latch clear command. Latch 2 retains data always.

I created this program to help me remember how to set this up. EthernetLink.gxw

Your screenshot shows un-compiled code (as well as an incomplete rung).  First complete the rung by tying Y0 contact to where it needs to go, probably a vertical line before /X1. Then compile your code <Compile Menu> <Build> (F4 - Shortcut), if you are online with a Running PLC than Shift+F4 for an online build.   Then save your file.  

This ^ Set your button with two actions, one for the pump switch and another for window screen = 0.  

you could try to uninstall with Revo Uninstaller. It includes extra steps after uninstall that scan registry and left over files for a true clean slate.

UL508 : Standard for Safety of electrical control panels.   

I believe if the programs are linked to a navigator file, you should first open navigator, and then open the HMI from there. It might be upset if you open the HMI file directly because navigator has the files linked.

EthernetLink.gxw This program was my base for setting up a similar communication link.

Little more detail in case you are new to the Mits PLCs M are basic internal relay bits.  D are basic internal Words L are Latched internal relays (their state remains through power cycles) X/Y Obviously inputs & outputs T are timers C are counters Z are pointer modifiers i.e. [MOV K150 D100Z1] would move value of 150 to D100+(Value of Z1), so if Z1 = 10, D110 would
