GT Designer 3: Reflect updated template on object
Rolf_Inge replied to Rolf_Inge's topic in Mitsubishi
Just spoke with mitsubishi support. It is not possible to update the template and then have it reflected on the objects in the panel. So it's basically just a function to copy/paste a group with some attributes. GX Works 4 with GT Designer 4 will arrive next year... Cheers -

Hi. In GT Designer 3 i am using a template for motor control and status in a panel. Due to changes in control philosophy a button was added for STOP. This has been added and registered in the template. But how do I also update the objects? Should this have been done automatically if I had done it correctly? Cheers

Borrowed a friends virtual machine, there it worked. I HAD messed a bit with windows before this happened. Cheers!

Hello. When trying to import the labels from GX3, i keep getting an error saying the project cannot be opened. Has anyone encountered this error? Cheers

What is your favorite and least favorite HMI software?
Rolf_Inge replied to DarkEdge's topic in HMI & SCADA
It was rethorical. I don't mind Mitsubishi so much. GXWorks2 and now 3 is quite nice to program in. The hardware setup part though. A million settings? Crazy. The other week I was amazed/shocked to know that using an IO-module that allowed hotswap required an individual project to be setup in GXW3, and some interface addresses that needed to match. *siiigh* Siemens TIA portal 15 is better than it's reputation I must say. The HMI / SCADA part i cant comment on yet. Is allen bradley using IEC 61131, the standard for logical controllers? AB is not big here in northern europe. I have only yet encountered National Instruments stuff as part of the american plc business. -

Thanks for info. But I will just keep haggling with this and advise with the Mitsubishi contact on monday. To establish how many hours i can save, and how many i have wasted so far :) -

I am using a STRUCT / DUT on the PLC side, or rather two. How would you go about it on GT side? -

Okay. Seems like decent equipment. I'm using Mitsubishi GT Designer right now and am not so excited. Will see how that develops... -
GT Designer 3: Easy editing of templates (copy/paste from excel)
Rolf_Inge posted a topic in Mitsubishi
Hi. I am looking for a way to efficiently add and edit objects created from a template. I had hoped to be able to paste directly from excel, but that is not possible. All i want to change for a template are the four numbers following the "M". Best would be to have a variable in the template that is included in all strings, but this is perhaps too much to ask? For example i want to change everything with M1477 to M1495. How should this be done? Cheers!- 4 replies

Stay away from ifix is my advice. I liked cimplicity, also from ge, but never saw it on a panel. Beijer ix is also nice. There are server based solutions such as webport. If you go for beckhoff plc it has an integrated webserver and lots of possibilites. Haven't used it myself yet but it's a direction i want to go. -
Different ways are possible. Think for example about a TOF-timer and logic :)

Hej Thanks for info. I was communicated that a second project was necessary if the hotswap function was used. It is not necessary in this project though, so we will try to configure the remote head station in the main project. Cheers

Hello. I am told that the use of a remotehead IO-module demands that a separate project is necessary. Is this true? I am using a R32EN cpu. EDIT: Just received word that it's because it's necessary for hotswap. Cheers // RI

Gold! Thanks, worked like a charm.

Hello. The project I'm in have decided to switch cpu-model from R04ENCPU to R32. It does not seem possible to change it in the module config / hardware view. I try to delete the old CPU, but cpu module cannot be deleted... Anybody know?
