[Moving INT[32] value to DINT]

I have done some research today and found that COP instruction can not be used in this situation as it will pack two INT tags in one DINT tag.

[Moving INT[32] value to DINT]

I will be moving for 1 element. 
Real value cannot be messaged across directly between PLCs , it has to be DINT to DINT. I have done it a number of times but not sure how to do INT32 to DINT
PLC 1 is 1769-L35

PLC 2 is 1769-L33 both CompactLogix

[Moving INT[32] value to DINT]

I need to message across analog value from one controller to second one on site. 
I have tried it but message config doesn’t like it. 
I never had problems with moving DINT to DINT. 
Just this INT[32]

[Activating PLC Output at the specific time - please help]

I could use OTE, that`s an option, I just though OTL would be more robust solution in case of PLC restart etc.

I have got two conditions on rung 1 , when hour is greater than 11 and less 16 to OTE an output. This should work too.

Going back to my OTL option, what was I doing wrong there, OTL and OTU were active at the same time - condition on rung were not permitting it .

[Activating PLC Output at the specific time - please help]

I want to energize it for few hours hence I decided to use OTL. In simple terms when there is 12:00:00 , OTL my output. Output should stay latched until on rung below PLC detects request to unlatch it at 16:00. I hope I explained it well.

[Activating PLC Output at the specific time - please help]

Evening,

I struggle with simple task...

I need to activate PLC Output at the specific time of a day.

I`m using GSV to obtain PLC time, data is being moved to DIN[7] registers.

Then I have three EQU (Hour / Minute / Second) and at the end of rung there is OTL for output.

Rung below I have two EQU (Hour / Minute) to disable output at different time - OTU.

However every time OTL is energised , OTU on rung below is fired too.

What am I doing wrong here ?

[Tuning PID - how to do it properly]

Michael,

Many many thanks, you helped me a lot. After playing with PID yesterday I understand a lot more. 

[Tuning PID - how to do it properly]

I need some advice how to tune PID properly.

The PID is only PI type (two mode) and its overshooting frequently. Assuming I need to tune P with starting incrementing by very small steps till PID oscillates. 

Once the P is established then will be tuning I , again with small increments till PV follows SP. 

So this is my assumption below but would like someone to comment on it as I haven’t had to do it before , been learning PLC for 4 months now. 

Do I need to start a machine and then start tuning PID or can this be done in more friendly way , offline ?
