Recently had to get a program out of a millenium 3 plc which I had programmed a few years ago but the cable would not connect.The only difference this time ,as my laptop no longer had a rs232 port,was the use of a USB to rs232 converter. Having trawled the web I managed to find the circuit of the interface cable below. It looks like the signal from the computer uses the negative going part of the pulses which aren't present on most usb to rs232 converters. Is this correct?

I am trying to display the time from an Accumulation timer. Using a data display object I am able to see the time in the following format 00:00:00.0000000. Is there a way to format the time without the decimal seconds I just want to see 00:00:00 (hours:minutes:seconds)

there is a device in the program (main) that is outside of the range
techsupoortalpha posted a topic in Mitsubishi
Hello, Good Day All. I am facing this issue while I am going to copy old plc to new plc. but old plc having 4965 steps, once going execute this program to new plc its showing more than 8000 steps. please suggest on this. PFA. -
Hello, I downloaded the program from the M251 PLC program, using the SoMachine4.3 environment. However, the downloaded program does not compile because the library is missing. The library is from a different manufacturer. Is it possible to find this library on the M251 PLC device? is there any way?

Hello. I'm using OMRON NB Display Did someone already made time adjustment from NB to OMRON PLC? What I'm trying to do is to adjust time from HMI to PLC. Since now I have done time sync from PLC to HMI using timer and data transfer. Now I would like to adjust current time in PLC using NB HMI. I know how to do it, but I'm some kind a lazy person. In our country there is a saying: " Don't reinvent things that already exists" Thanks. BR, Andrej.

When we simulate a plc program we have to manually input the changes in input(like magnetic reed switch) For example when a cylinder goes from up to down reed turn OFF and reed down turns ON Is there any program available where we can define such things that will turn on and off during the process automatically.

Hello everyone, I have a Panelview plus 600 ( I know it’s old but I’m trying to get it to work). It’s on a yogurt bucket filler, I don't have any application to run or to do anything. What software do I need on a computer to be able to transfer it to the panelview. Is this even possible? There is nothing in the memory right now but how to I program it and what program do I use? I’m in the Los Angeles area and even willing to pay for someone to come and do it. I need to get this to work, thank you so much.

Hey guys, I know this is a topic that has been discussed before, but I am having trouble finding exactly what I am looking for.. I want to know the most efficient way to record data from my PLC to an Excel file on my PC. I want this to be done without the use of the PLC's webserver. Specifically I am trying to record vfd speed every 10seconds with a time and date stamp. How can I do this? Thanks, James

Hi All, I just take over a project which involve accurate positioning and movement up to 0.010mm(around 10 microns) of a servo motor. I found out that my motor always move to an incorrect position. Let's say I want it to move to absolute position of 5.210mm, I found out that it may move more till 5.235 or move less 5.190(something like that). So i start to check if I'm outputting correct pulse. Using CX-Drive, I connect to the driver then i found out that the pulse is correct and consistent(for example i use my pulse per revolution and pitch to determine how many pulses) Currently I'm using an incremental encoder and servo motor and my PLC cycle time is around 12 ms and my servo move at a speed of 0.66mm/s. So I was wondering if my PLC scan time will affect my accuracy in moving ?? I'm using a CJ2M PLC with CJ1W-NC413 pulse card , incremental encoder and a servo motor. I want to make sure is not software limitation or anything wrong on software side before I bring it to my mechanical team Appreciate all inputs here and thanks!

I am trying to online edit a program in a MELSEC QCPU, using GX Works2, but I keep getting this error "A file which does not exist in the PLC was specified" <ES:010a4022> Few weeks ago I had just online edited the same program in the same PLC with the same steps with no problem. There had been no changes to the PLC after that. Just all a sudden when I try to edit yesterday I get this error. Not an expert in Mitsubishi, just started learning the basics. Connection to PLC is by USB cable. Steps I followed to connect to PLC: -Online > Read from PLC -Select PLC Series: QCPU (Q mode) -Select PLC side I/F Serial Setting: Serial USB -Select all target program to Read, then Execute I am editing the file that I had just read from PLC Steps I followed to online edit: -Online > Monitor > Monitor (Write mode) -Execute the function below when mode is changed: Checked all -Edit the program (basically just deleted one -||- contact and drew back the line) -Compile > Online Program Change Then Bam! error get! "A file which does not exist in the PLC was specified" <ES:010a4022> I had tried Verify with PLC, but all results match. Is there something I am missing? Help much appreciated!

Hi fellow PLC veterans, I am new in the PLC world so please forgive me if my questions read dumb to you.. I am just wondering if there are any newer PLC machines that can: 1. keep the program even after its battery is completely flat or faulty (Is this even possible?) 2. allow users to copy and save the program somewhere so one can install the program again without the need/presence of the machine supplier What tools/software may be required? Thank you for reading and look forward to your response :)

Display PLC Time on HMI and Comparing Entered HMI Time to PLC Time
Link068 posted a topic in CX-Programmer
Good Afternoon, I am wanting to do two things with and ORMON PLC and HMI with CX-Programmer and NB-Designer. 1. I want to display the current time from PLC on HMI with the real time clock. 2. I want to be able to enter a time on the HMI which will be compared to the PLC time and will stop a process when when the entered time is equal to the actual PLC time. If I can have some help with this that would be a great help. Thanks, -
Hi All, Please see attached screenshot: Whenever I want to save the ladder program or start simulation, this window pops-up. If I press 'yes' I loose the whole work. I tried to open existing program and modify it, but it did the same. When I clicked 'yes' I lost all modification and just the original program remained. (I made the program in the morning, opened and saved many times but it started popping this window later.) I work with FXCPU series, FX3U/FX3UC type, simple project in ladder. This worked well but now is not anymore. I use Melsoft GX Simulator! Can anyone advise why this is happening? It is very annoying! It is pointless to work on anything now! Many thanks

analog output card 1734-OE2V parameters, fault/actions, program mode
Jiggadoo posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I have an analog output card 1734-OE2V and there is in the fault/actions page parameters for program mode. What is program mode and when it is activated? Fault mode is clear but... Program should be written the value, but when this happens? -
How can I improve my counter's accuracy?
Nathanb posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
So I have a plc program where most of the outputs are based on a counter that goes from 0 to 1000. The counter speed is adjustable and is generally set to run through a full cycle (count from 0 to 1000) anywhere between 0.5 to 2 seconds. The problem is, when I try to energize an output by using an EQU instruction, it will almost always skip the count because the scan time is not fast enough. I've been using a LIM instruction which has been working, but its not quite as accurate as it needs to be. I switched the counter logic to be continuous to try to make it faster which made it almost perfectly accurate... But only in the continuous task; it made the other periodic task significantly less accurate. I was curious if any of you had any tips on how to remedy this or just general help. I am still relatively new to PLCs and ladder logic so any advice would be awesome, Thanks in advance! Edit: The purpose of the counter is to cycle through from 0 to 1000 over and over again. My outputs actuate during a certain interval within this cycle (For example I would say actuate from 300 to 800 and it would stop and end once it hit those values via an EQU or LIM instruction). I wrote the logic as follows: First I calculate how many cycles per minute I want to perform, using that value I calculate how many times I want to increment my counter per millisecond. Then a timer is given a preset of the total cycle time. While that timer is running I continuously multiply the timer's accumulated value by the "cycle count per millisecond" that I calculated earlier; the resulting value is the current count that all my outputs are based on... Hopefully that makes sense, I know it's not the best but I could not figure out a better way of doing it and I know rounding is certainly making the accuracy worse. My hardware is: Allen Bradely PLC (5069 l306erms2), 5069-ob16, 5069-ib16, and a Kinetix 5500s2 Driver for my motor(s) -
