Hello. Is it possible to hard reset (power cycle) the CP1L-E cpu unit using software? I'm having difficulties, because when you configure IO MAD42 card via CIO registers, you have to power cycle the PLC. The problem is, that I remotely configure the PLC. If I put PLC to program then to run mode, the configuration fails to update. Is there some kind of BIT to do "virtual" power cycle? Thanks.

I guess it has something to do with Regional Format (SL). I have to use comma (1000,0) instead of dot (1000.0).... In other software which uses structure text, I didn't have this kind of problem... BR.  

Hello. I'm having difficulties of how to write REAL constant in ST. For example (Gap1 is defined as REAL): Gap1:= UDINT_TO_REAL(P_Cycle_Time_Value) / +1000.0;     RETURNS ERROR ERROR:   Conversion cannot convert from Integer Literal to REAL I have also tried 1000.0 If I use:  Gap1:= UDINT_TO_REAL(P_Cycle_Time_Value) / INT_TO_REAL(1000);  COMPILES OK My question.. How do I write REAL constant in Structure text? I don't want to use  INT_TO_REAL anytime I want to do calculations with constants.. Thanks. BR.

Thanks for replay.  But I don't want to mess with Cycle Time. The question is: Can I get current time/date (UDINT) in miliseconds? (Similar as arduino millis())? Thanks. BR.

Hello. I'm trying to develop Tau filter wich uses time calculations like this: TimeNew := GetTime() // system time in miliseconds ExpTime := TimeNew - TimeOld TimeOld := TimeNew I guess I colud use CycleTime, but the resoult for CycleTime is not constant... 

Hello. I'm using CX-Programer and CJ2M CPU. Is it possible to get current time in ms like in arduinos millis()? Thanks. BR.

Hello. I can't find any related bits wich would indicate PLC offline / online status. I'm using two PLC's. PLC0 Modbus TCP (Ethernet) PLC1 Modbus RTU (Serial) Please help me to get online status. BR, Andrej. 

Hello.I'm having variable Voltage expressed as UNSIGNED DOUBLE INT.For example: Val = 23423For displaying the right value I have to divide value by 100 ... Val/100 = 234.23V.For showing the value I can set the decimal place to 2 and Unit&Scale to 1002.The problem is:THE GRAPH IS SHOWING Val=23423. I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW Val=234.23.HOW CAN I USE THE DECIMAL PLACES IN GRAPH?WHERE CAN I SET THIS SETTING?Thanks.BR, Andrej.

Hello. I'm developing NS5 HMI visualization. The display is using TCP/IP comunication.  (IP: 192.168.1.21) communicating with PLC (IP: 192.168.1.20 - my PC) I would like to start PLC (CJ2M) simulator on my PC (IP: 192.168.1.20) so that HMI would comunicate with my PS (PLC Slave simulator) Does the simulator exists? Thanks. BR, Andrej.

Hello. Thanks for sample. But I would like to hide the input field (password). I tried to do this with setting: - Control Flag: Display: Hidden. But then the function does not work. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks. BR, Andrej.   PS: I can move the input field off the screen, but I think this is not the best solution.

Hello. I'm using CX-Designer. I would like to create a BUTTON with label Log In. When I press that button it should: 1. PopUp keyboard would appear 2. I would enter login password for example 0000 3. Entered password would write to PLC location D1000 How can I do that? Please help. BR, Andrej.

Even simplier way is to use function block... BR, Andrej.

Hello. Is it possible to add SECTION using ONLINE EDIT? I can add rung... Thanks. Best regards.

Hello. I'm trying to comunicate to Siemens S7-300 using Citect S7NT driver. I haven't done this so far so I'm asking you for help. What software do I need to successfully comunicate with S7? How do I set S7NT CITECT driver (Board, port, device,...)? Thanks. Best regards.

But now I have another problem. In Citect Nexa 6.1 I'm using conn string: hSQL = SQLConnect(" Driver={SQL Server};Server=PC_NAME\SQLEXPRESS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=User;Pwd=Password) It connects without problems. If I use Querystring: SELECT * FROM MyDataTable it works. I've got values from table. BUT!!! If I use more complicated Querys like Queriing a Subquery (IT WORKS IN SCADA 2016 and in SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO): SELECT * from (     SELECT *      from mytable ) subquery I've got error: 4501Unexpected text at end of SQL query 'FROM' Does someone have any advise? Thanks. Best regards.
