HI. Anyone have a suggestions for a starter kit for beckhof plc that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.   Thinking Cpu, some small io (perhaps 4-8 in, outs, 1-2 analog), ethercat/twincat, and of possible some hmi. And perhaps a plate/bag/box where all can be mounted on/in so one can just take out the power cord and plug it in on 230V outlet and have the kit "up and runnig"?

Had the test run for a day or so, it still counts wrong because the RecSearch does not seem to finish searching before the StackPush puts in the record.

This was my first thought, that Rung 0 does not manage to finish in what ever condition is has per cycle, and then rung 1 do get pushed several times.

Hi, i have found that the RecSearch seems to be unreliable, you cannot tell if the search is done, and nothing is found, or if its still searching. I see quite often that we get double and tripplets in the array[0..199] struct. Lap1_PushBoard.ID is filled in by a scanner, RecSearch is looping thru 0..199 array to see if its already in there, if its not, it should add it in the network after. The red-crossed out is an attempt to try to validate the search is completed. Is there a way with recsearch to actually KNOW when it has looped thru all the array and not found its search value in? Right now it has basically one cycle to find or not find, then the network 2 is going to assume board not found, but watching live data i see doubles in the array, several times in a row, meaning search was never done when we added the value.    

Hi, i checked all my local storage where i am today, i didnt not have it here, but at my other home, where ill be at in 2 or 3 weeks, i might have it there, but its not accessible for me from this location (since i have not setup remote access to the nas from here :D)

  I dont recall if the omega-project i had, had a password, try press enter only, else you need to try some stuff like project number or whatever could be set.  

Its not, let me check the url, URL should be  https://web.tresorit.com/l/Cs5xC#XjUIpozZRiJPxVwyZBnvoA  

I put the program here  https://web.tresorit.com/l/Cs5xC#XjUIpozZRiJPxVwyZBnvoA You need to run Win 95/98, it might run on xp. the manual is not in there afaik, have to look for it else where on my nas.

Hi, we have one PLC that throws many errors on task period exceeded. checking the status, this warning have come over 15000 times since when ever it started couting it. Max cycle time is 2.83ms while max allowed task is the default(?) 2ms. We think it has something to do with the block for the barcode scanning. this blockas around 134ns cycle time when it seems normal, all other blocks is around 4-8 ns. How can we make sure what part that sometimes exceeds the 2 ms execution time?

Thanks for this tip. We quite fast here locally decided to collect up all our EDS files and have it on a network share, so when we get a new computer, we can just toss them in and everyone gets the same versions that is needed depending on the projects.

What do the error say?

Where i have worked.. on those machines that  as a full windows-ish version installed (like Panel PC's or regular PC+screen) we often install Filezilla Server, there you can mount other folders into the ftp folders, and inmy experience, simplifies everything, like having a vision camera ftp up an image to be stored for later reviews or logging image to database/datalake for legal tracabillity

This is the bigger problem in sysmac.. It rarely tells you which EDS-file is missing, and as you said.. devices without a correct EDS gets removed.. so you cant get any hints on what EDS file you need. Now we've managed to sort this out because one of the collegues remembered which EDS files is required by this specific project. On this part, Siemens TIA-Portal has a leg up on the GSD-file management.. all the required GSD-files comes WITH the project "baked in".

I opened another project where i was missing EDS files, then the output states which version of the ABB EIP/CIP verison i was missing.. This one just gives an generic unhelpfull error.

I open a project, i have V1.55 sysmac, collegue has V1.52. Both of us get this error(?) message in output. Neither of us know what this means, whats missing or how to fix this.
