Hi, After a long time, searching for missing communication I think to have found the cause. In this CMP2A plc there is a receiving device connected to the RS-232 port. . During operation it can happen that in the same cycle there will be 2 functions to send different data.. I never receive those 2 data, only 1 is received. I can set a delay for sending this but this seems to be 'overkill', Is there a simpler way to do this..? The 2 pics are part of the program. After putting the P_off before the other transmits, I always receive the TXD(48) DM1621... Please advise,

Hi everyone, I'm after GX IEC Developer software ( version 7.04). I'm aware that it's unsupported now but I require it for an old piece of equipment which works off a Q series PLC programmed using IEC developer. I tried converting the code using GX Works 2 but a missing register and quite a few errors, post conversion, compelled me to look for older GX IEC developer software. Any leads on this would be appreciated. Thank You. Regards, AnthonyGB

I'm using a GT1275 HMI with GTDesigner3 and am trying to add some Alarm Logging capabilities. I've made an alarm page and have it working correctly, but the problem is once the display is full it stops showing current alarms. Is there a way to have it only show the 20 most recent alarms? Make it where the newest alarm deletes the oldest alarm? Or at least make it where I can scroll down to see the latest alarm? I've attached some screenshots of the current alarm page and settings. I tried the "clear oldest history..." button but I can't set a specified target value. That may not be the right way either so IDK. Thanks.

Hi guys, I am having difficulty in understanding and implementing the scaling of 32 or 16 bit binary data using Mitsubishi DSCL2 instruction. I just don't understand what to pass in its parameters particularly s2 parameter. I tried many variables but I get errors. Please can someone provide an example how to implement that and scale any float no, for example 1200.00 to 100.00 using this instruction with output scale 0-100 being 100 at maximum for the sensor value of 1200.00 I am attaching pdf for DSCL2 instruction taken from Mitsubishi manual for help. and the error I am getting on my melsoft. instructions_manual.pdf

Good day all, Does anyone know if we can reset a CCLIEFB drive from HMI if comms fail, or can only be done via keypad reset button? Cheers.

Hello all, Quick question - I know where to set the "number of samples" for averaging the analog inputs, but is there a buffer memory or similar that I can access without having to resend the application to the PLC ? What I want to do is just fine tune one channel as the system is operational. cheers.

Hello all, is any one aware of any good free training, guides, etc, I am using the RT Visual Box and I like it a lot, but need a bit more in depth info and manual is ok, but it does not explain things in great details more like a general view. Many thanks.

Hello. The project I'm in have decided to switch cpu-model from R04ENCPU to R32. It does not seem possible to change it in the module config / hardware view. I try to delete the old CPU, but cpu module cannot be deleted... Anybody know?

Hello all, I have the need for PLC to calculate a giving time shift pattern, so if I start Monday 8am on a 24h prod basis, and the production run is 48h, the PLC should tell HMI finish time is Wednesday 8am, that is ok, the problem is, Production stops from Saturday 8 am, and starts again Monday 8am. Thus if I start prod run on Friday 8am, PLC should tell HMI (Got2000), production finish time should be Tuesday 8 am. I can read RTC, compare, do maths, but how can I miss or not take into account Saturdays from 8 am till Monday 8 am...that is my problem. Any thoughts, ideas, are all welcome. Thanks.

Hi, I have a client with an old K2N CPU configuration. Is there a communication module that I can use, so that I can upload the excisting program to my PC with my old version of melsec medoc, over RS232? We need the program to upgrade the PLC to a new type. But they don't have a program or a listing of the program.

Hi guys. On our company we got several different PLC system but right now I´m focusing on a Mitsubishi Q-system with device-net master QJ71DN91. We are going to make communication with SMC-JXCD1 controller for a actuator. But I have no experience with DeviceNet and unfortunately there is no files, functionblock, or program examples what I can find. Not even Mitsubishi or SMC had some for these two together so I turning the Question into this forum instead😊 Previously I´ve used profibus on a fx3U system and FX5U-Simple CPU communication protocol to talk with slaves in a network. I got on hold of some old document from Beijer from where I got 3 functionblocks for devicenet. 1.DnInitiateQ 2. DnSupervisorQ 3. DnDataQ 4. DnMessageQ So maybe I can have some help from these but I´m still not sure how to send/receive information to the SMC-nodes. I´m a little confused about if I should use the master with I/O communication or master with explicit messages? The later I haven´t even heard of. I was only thinking about creating array of word to receive and send info to the nodes. But my knowledge of this communication protocol is very low. Anyone know´s how to get me started? Or can provide some kind of example in GX IEC or GX works.

Hi, I have a problem with serial communication (no protocol) using rs485 module, the received data is error. I'm using CP1L CPU, CP1W-CIF11 module as transmitter, and USB to RS485 converter as receiver. When I check the received data on PC, it's incorrect (bit error?). I just send 2 bytes data, 0x61 ('a') and 0x62 ('b'). My configuration: DIP switch CPU 4 = off, DIP switch CIF11 1 to 6 = on,on,on,off,off,off, 2 wire RS485. (I also attached the program and settings) https://postimg.cc/gallery/pr293Jc Could you help me to solve this problem? Thanks Program and Settings: Result:

Hello, There seem to be a lot of different CC-Link IE protocols: CC-Link IE Field Basic CC-Link IE Field CC-Link IE Field Motion CC-Link IE Field Safety CC-Link IE Control CC-Link IE TSN This causes me some confusion. Are there as many variations of Ethernet/IP and PROFINET? Can you point me to a good comparison of the different CC-Link IE protocols? My understanding is that: CC-Link IE Field Basic: 100 Mb/s Non-deterministic? Good for non-time-critical communications (e.g., setting a drive speed) Implemented in software Traffic can co-exist with other TCP/IP traffic Max 64 stations Addressed by IP address Star topology I believe the other protocols are all 1 Gb/s, are deterministic, are addressed by station number, are implemented in hardware and each needs its own isolated network. CC-Link IE Control is used for communications between PLCs and robots. CC-Link IE Field is used for remote I/O and CC-Link IE TSN is used for even faster remote I/O communications. Please let me know if any of this is inaccurate. Thanks,

I've set up 20 or so of my alarms under the 'User Alarm Observation' section. I then added an 'Alarm Display (User)' object. Will this object display my alarms when they come in? I'm noticing an Alarm ID section in the 'Alarm Display (User)' object section. What is this Alarm ID for? Can the 'Alarm Display (User)' object only display one alarm? That doesn't seem to make any sense? How would I got about configuring this object so that it will show all my alarms as they come in? Thanks!

I have a cell phone modem connected to my Omron CP1L on serial 2 Here is the issue I need to pull the phone number out of the msg received (receiving text messages) I receive a text msg and a lot of other crap like time and date ect. RDX says store in D100 the problem is that after I receive the SMS I see the phone number and copy the number to D200 to D2xx The next text comes in and it is added to the length of the previous text and the new phone number is not in the same D area as the first. It seems the only time the serial port works is if you declare 20 characters and you get 20 characters Works every time. But sometimes I may get 12 characters and other times I can get more than 100. I have used the restart and clear port command with no luck. If I set RDX to a large number and receive complete will not come on and the next receive will be added to the first. I need a clear buffer for each receive. How do I get around this? If you set the RDX to 10 but 12 characters were received the 2 extra characters will be in the buffer and added to the next receive. I can’t use end receive if x because there is nothing that is always available in the msg. And even if I do any characters received after end code is left in the buffer and screws up the next receive. I have never seen anything like this. Any ideas? Thanks Rob

Hello and good day I have a Mitsubishi fx1n-14mr PLC controlling a band saw. The PLC is connected via a DB925 - MD8M cable to a Beijer/mitsubitshi E100 HMI for communications and as a power supply via RS-422. When powered on the display on the E100 panel fluctuating, i.e. the screen turns on and off repeatedly. If the main switch is then switched off, then on again the screens seems to stay on and the machine operates normally. The PLC has a built in AC/DC power supply and I suspect that is may be the problem. Is is possible to switch out the AC/DC module? To make sure that the E100 panel is not the problem I want to connect a 5V external supply to the port located on the back. Is it safe to have the RS-422 and the 5V external supply connected simultaneously?

Hi, This is my first application working with a Mitsubishi HMI GT2107-WTBD using GTDesigner 3. Is it possible to have an Ack bit going from the HMI to the PLC when the operator acknowledges an alarm? I've found how to set up comments for alarms and trigger alarms but can't figure out how to link an ACK bit back to the PLC. Thanks.

1747-L30B Brick SLC "Insufficient Memory Module Size"
abend posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
I have a 1747-L30B SLC Brick and it is set to load from EEPROM on boot S:5/8, Error S:1/10, and Run S:1/12. I need to make changes to the program and then store it to EEPROM via "Comms>EEPROM>Store to EEPROM." When I attempt to store the program with changes, it displays the message "Insufficient Memory Module Size." I assumed the EEPROM memory was maxed out, but I also uploaded the existing program currently stored to EEPROM, made no changes, and attempted storing it back to EEPROM and received the same message. Any advice? -
Sorry its long !! I am recieving text from a GSM modem for text msg Send and receive (SMS) works ok but would be better if I could make use of the start code and end code. This way I could cut down on all the crap that is received when a text arrives. I get this CMTI: "SM",0 I have it stored into D80 and I have that trigger a TXD that sends AT+CMGRD=0 and that tells the GSM to send the msg (The 0 is the current msg in memory) ------ The problem is that there is Carriage Return and Line Feeds in the received msg ---- AS below ((AT+CMGRD=0 +CMGRD: "REC UNREAD","+19028991212","","22/10/20,16:57:54-16" Hello this is the msg OK)) When the PLC sees the carriage return it stops receiving data. And I have no start code or end code setup. (I am using characters received) The way around this is to set a high character count in the RXD (More than the actual msg (More than the msg length) The main issue with that is I get garbage in as the msg gets bigger. Its unreliable. I clear the port after each receive and that helps but still get the odd garbage. (Never get garbage when connected to a terminal prg). Any Ideas???? ps Even the Start Code is unreliable as it will start receiving a few characters late. Rob

I have a CP1L-EM and the serial ports - both of them have an issue with the port ready flag will not turn on. Power cycle still no port ready flag In settings both ports are set up as 15200 8N1 CR/LF Verified and power cycled and still no port ready flag. Is there someplace in the PLC where the ports can be disabled? Rob
