    Hi All

    need to convert a Decimal Value into Ascii code to send out on serial 485. eg. Weight comes in as Int 12345 i need to send it out in Ascii as 23 32 20 31 32 33 34 35. I have created an array 0 of 8 (Word) DB. Is there an easy way split the int into Digits convet in into HEX and slot the value into the various array positions?

    Array 0 of 8 = 23 means #

    Array 1 of 8 = 32 means 2 (Station ID)

    Array 2 of 8 = 20 means Space

    Array 3 of 8 = 31 means 1

    Array 4 of 8  = 32 means 2

    Array 5 of 8 = 33 means 3

    Array 6 of 8 = 34 means 4

    Array 7 of 8 = 35 means 5

    Array 8 of 8 = D means CR   

    this sends the value of 12345 to Display ID 2 . need help to convert the decimal number in ascii. the decimal number will be max of 5 digits and less than 32000

     

    any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi All

    I uploaded an run time application from an Panel View Plus and stored it on my laptop. When using the application manager to restore the runtime onto my pc so that I can edit I got an error that says a newer version of Active X is required. Not sure if my software is to old or if it is my operator system windows 10  

    Any help is appreciated

    Thank you

    I went to a site that has 2 micrologics 1100 on a network. ip addresses ending 100 and 101. RS links detects both nodes. I was able to go online with 101 through ethernet IP. i had no sucess with 100. i could get acess with serial port. all com settings for ch1 are identical for both plc,s except ip address of course. The plc,s are communicating to each other using the msg instruction and this is working properply. I was able to do all required tasks over the serial port was wondering if the msg instruction takes over the port, but i could get coms to plc2 any ideas.

    I recently inherited a site that is running Citech V5.2. one of the computers has no comms at all the display data is just ???? . when I compile and go into run time its tells me it cannot find the server. I can ping all relative IP addresses from the computer itself. I though it was just a ethernet communication error at first but obviously not. I have also restored a older saved project but get the same issue. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi All

    I am new to Siemens and have been using plc which size programs in Steps, and Siemens using memory to size. Is the re an estimate of converting steps to memeory? If i was doing this on the other brand there standalone plc with 16K steps would be big enough. the Siemens S7 1500 Cpu 1511 has 150KB  program memory how does this compare.
