[Struggling with SCL2 function]

And to think Bob all you had to do was to use my Scale with Paramters function block, you can download it from the download section, heaps simple. Let me know if you need a hand with it.

[Cx-One and VirtualBox]

Iv'e run CAD through virtual box just fine thanks bobbbbbyyy. Also devolped Citect Version 5 application as well in virtual box ;) and run AB software for VB. The USB thing with virtual box... I have found that I need to let the host computer recognise the USB device fully. (this goes with memory sticks as well.) then on the vbox go to the USB interface - right click and activate the USB device. For RS232 comms on the virtual box i use the Omron CIF31 (USB to RS232 convertor) (even with AB PLC's) works super well. Only had problems when i have not given time to the host system to recognise the device first. BTW bobb next time i install siemens (uuugghhhh) it will be on virtual box.

[Problem creating backup to memory card]

thanks for updating us.

[omron plc]

I could just imagine the banter I could of hit you with on this one Bob, heh hee heh. you left that one wide open.

[CNT Question]

Could the CY (carry flag) be used in this case ? Havn;t tried it. then no need for comparison, hopefully go back to zero and CY flag turned on to INC next word.

[Symbol data type trouble]

This gets to me on a large program as well and have requested that it be an option to turn off type testing in the CX-Programmer improvement requests.

[CNT Question]

Sry, didn;t know you were using a CQM1H, as pfort suggest you will need to in this case use BCD math ie numbers with #. and as pfort suggests a single word BCD can only go to #9999 therefore for a double word length use the ADDL function.

[CNT Question]

pfort is right ;) I will assume a CJ/CP1L/CS series and in this case use a differentiated version of the instruction ie @++L D0000 every time you want to count Then do a simple >=L compare to set a bit and reset the counter if you want to ie @MOV &0 D0000 @MOV &0 D0001

[PLC Law]

I may as well contribute... PLC Law 8.2 [8.3] 2014 EDITION - You can run virtual machines and install different Manufactures Programming software on each, that way all the little children can play together. PLC Law 0.1 [0.1] 2014 EDITION - I AM THE LAW PLC Law 0.2 [6.2] 2014 EDITION - Back up, Back up, Back UP, BACK UP not only your PLC programs but your PC. I cannot emphasize this enough

[MP3]

Its called a Juke Box.

[working with decimals]

You have to use High Speed Counter 0 and it is the PRV2 instruction you want to look at. See section 3-20-3 of W451-E1-03. CP1L instruction manual.

[working with decimals]

There was a freq instruction (don;t quote me on the name) avail for a CJ1 CPU22, is it not avail for the CP1L ? Aint got the manuals here to check.

[MAD01 4--20mA OUT PUT PROBLEM]

And stop "SHOUTING" we can hear you ...

[working with decimals]

Do all of you math in Flt (ie convert to float for the integers etc) Then you last instruction would be *F the divides would simply be /F give it a go and let us know.

[Micrologix 1400 - Ethernet Port]

Thanks Mr Mentor....

[Micrologix 1400 - which version of software]

With a beer in the other hand I reckon

[Micrologix 1400 - which version of software]

Thanks Mickey. It is on the right hand side . Did you just think it would be on the left because you are at the bottom of the world and we're on the top ?

[Micrologix 1400 - Ethernet Port]

Can the Ethernet Port be used for HMI connection or programming or is it as i feared and only for email, peer to peer messaging etc ?

[Micrologix 1400 - which version of software]

To program a Micrologix 1400 what is the minimum version of the RS Logix that you require to program this little beasty ?

[Sherlock Ohms & Peanut Butter]

I couldn;t get past .... Dan Murphys is a liquor chain outlet store here in Oz (or as we refer to such stores "bottle O" as in " I am going to the boddle O to pick up a case (or slab) of beer".. yes drop the formal t and substitue with a d) sorry I digress...mmm beer.... Thanks for the link BTW.

[CX-One V4]

thanks for the link Jacen. Data Structures and auto Address incrementing bring it on.

[Latest CX-One Updates]

Sorry to hear that Bob, i too would have been mightly pi$$ed of also. Thats why i am still on V7.2, so others can make mistakes for me

[CX-One now officially supports Windows 7!]

Omron forging ahead. Software that is obviously built on a strong flexible base code that is relatively easy to maniuplate to cope with newer OS's. Now wouldn;t that be something if Omron put out a Linux version, it would certainly be a first.

[[Request] NT31c to CQM1H pinout]

Click on the FAQ above for Omron that pdl has kindly put together, should find the link there.

[Calculate RPM]

What is the highest RPM you want to measure ? You could measure the time between pulses and correlate that to an RPM with some simple math.. you can work that out as I don;t believe in spoon feeding. This method has speed limitations due to response times PLC scan etc. And another way to increse the accuracy is to have more sensing points... ie more then 1 pulse per revolution.. Why do you think that incremental encoders have higher resolutions ?... in your case if you had four teeth then this would be a minimum of 15 RPM...
