Hi, I am wanting to convert my Q04 (GX Works2) to an iQ-R PLC (GX Works3). I have tried to "Open other format file" and selected GX Works2 Format. When I select the program I want to convert over to GX Works3, the "uploaded image" pops up. If I select "OK" on that pop-up, it converts my project to an R120CPU. When I then try to change the module type, I cannot change my module type from the RCPU series. Could someone advise on how I could go about doing this? Many Thanks

Hey guys, I am needing to view the logic of an Allen Bradley ACD file but currently do not have access to Rockwell software.. Is there any free software to convert acd to pdf to view the logic? Or is there a way someone here could convert for me? Thanks AC326IV_S013_V1_3.acd

Hello. Recently I created two projects which I later connected with INCLUDE property. Let's say we have Project_1 and Project_2. In Project_1 I include Project_2. Everything works except Trend Groups. The only trend group which is working is the one in Project_1. I know I can copy Trend Group definition to Project_1 but then these two projects are not independent anymore. Did someone come to some kind of solution? Thanks

Hi Im working with an iQ-R CPU wich controls 6 conveyors with a CC-Link IE Field Network, the CC-Link module is a RJ71EN71. Each conveyor has a remote I/O (NZ2GF2B1-16TE Digital outputs main module with a NZ2EX2B1-16D extension for Digital Inputs). The communication in the CC - Link IE Field diagnostic appears to be OK, but I can´t send or receive IO signals from the Batch Monitor of Gx Works 3. Thanks for your attention!

I'm trying to read a result from encoder (which in pulse) and convert it to milimeter. To do that, i need to devide it. But here is the problem when i move the result of the encoder read to register (D) then devide it with another register, it doesn't show result in the monitor. It looks like i need to convert it to float first, but i dont know how. My command for the division is DEDIV D17 D40 D22. is there anyway to solve it? Thanks, i really need this. I try to look in the forum but i dont found it. I'm using mitsubishi FX3U-48 MT ESS. I'm new in this forum, if i break a rule, please tell me.

Hi there, I would like to ask you regarding the conversion PLC. Usually, it is not a surprise for us to get the errors occurring for the PLC conversion especially if both PLCs are not in the same compatible programming software. What I mean, currently, we have a lot of older version of PLC such as C20, C40H, C60H etc and these version needed to be converted to the newer version. However, lately we have problem converting the CQM1H to CJ2M, whereas both PLCs using the same programming software, CX-ONE software (ver 9.6). Most of the errors are displayed like this: ERROR: Step at rung 161 (6, 1) - SBN not defined - 4 There are 4 errors are listed referring to the same type of errors, that is the SBN not defined. Is there anyone here ever experienced this? And why is it these two PLCs also got problem for converting? Thanks all.

Hello. I have a D word number 0-990. I would like to convert it to 990-0. So i need a function which shows me 0, when the D100 is 990, and shows me 0 when the D100=990. And of course for the between values also. Calculating continiusly. Help is much appreciated :)

Hi everybody. I'm just getting started with GX Works 3 and I feel a bit lost. If I have an external help file for my function blocks, how do I register this in the program? I can't find it anywhere when I double-click the fb library or in the e-manual Viewer. The file format is .CHM and I have imported this to GXW2 earlier. /Niklas

hi. i want to make some program that work with indirect adress. example, i make program with many much type. I make with Got-1000 mitsubishi. can you bring me some example? i am sorry, my english is Bad

Hello I am at a loss here. There is something happening with TON_2 that also affects the variable STEG. Even though the input to TON_2 is false, IN and Q are true. Suddenly IN and Q turn false, and at the same time variable STEG makes a jump from 3 to 4, even though criteria for this step is not confirmed. Have had to override this fault by introducing a SR-latch and outside of block make a comparison between NIVÅ_FÖRRÅDS_KÄRL and 150.0 By the way, TON_2 is not declared globally. Would be very happy for suggestions and pointers. Cheers // DAN PE2 Jump.avi PE1 Jump.avi

Hello, I have searched the manuals and forums, but don't have a simple solution for copying data from one structure to another. The best solution I have come up with is to write a specific function block for copying one structure to another of the same type. Is that the best solution?

I just joined the plc programming by buying q series q030ude. Using GXworks2 and GTworks3, is it to make automatic AC plant control. I make some ladder diagrams to suit the requirements of employer, but I am stuck at gtworks3 since I cannot find video tutorials or guide online, which part I am stuck is making data collecting and report printing for daily usage of aggregates, cement and asphalt. and store data at least a month worth. My plan is not to use HMI got2000, instead I will use gt softgot2000 version that run on pc. I can upload the file I did for the plant, as for now, it is only for weighing and mixing. but since I cannot test load cell modules, I am using counters as the weight. thanks so much in advance if anyone could help me, advice me, suggest me, train me, guide me :)

I am using GX Works2 and I cannot use the format "Label.1" to access the first bit in the word represented by label. Is this a function that just does not work or is it abnormal. Is there a way to do this easily. I am using structured ladder. Also is there a way to use the K*, notation with an array of bools represented by a label. I saw elsewhere the syntax K8<Label>, but that will not compile for me.

Hello everyone. I can't find my ST program step count in GX WORKS 2. Does anybody knows where is program step count in GX WORKS2 ?

I used to use the Old Dos based MEDOC very many, many, years. I havn,t programmed for years now. We have GX Works 2 at work, and I am practicing programming an FX 3G - 40M to try and keep my hand in. Allthough I can write and read the program ok, the PLC keeps saying that it has no memory for the comments. Apparently the memory has to be set on the PLC. Any advice or information links will be appreciated

[PLC Sample Code] - Daylight Saving Time Library for EU and US rules
Inntele posted a topic in Download Comments
View File Daylight Saving Time Library for EU and US rules The library for GX Works2 software is valid for any type of Q/L CPUs and consists of two program blocks, DST_EU and DST_US. Add the desided block as a first executable block of your program and also add two global variables into Global Label, as it's described in the library's comments. Any time of year CPU RTC must be always set to GMT! DST.7z Submitter Inntele Submitted 04/02/16 Category PLC Sample Code -
Hi Not sure if someone has tried this. I have 2 GX Works3 projects. I am trying to merge them into 1. Is this possible?

I have a 16 position rotary selector switch I'm trying to program to a CQM1 PLC, that I will also be programming to a micrologix 1200 in the future, using CX Programmer. The switch connects to the PLC using 4 inputs, and activates the inputs in a binary pattern 0-16 as I turn the switch. For example: if the switch is wired to the first four inputs of the PLC, and is turned to "9" 0.0 and 0.3 will be activated and 0.1 and 0.2 will not, just like binary 9 = 1001. I have tried several things trying to get the PLC to accept these inputs as a single "data-point," and then convert to BCD or Hex to use in a timer. I'm having no luck! Does anyone have any ideas how this is done? The switch is a Tosoku DPP01 015L20RCB, and because of the age of the PLC my instruction set is limited. Thank you in advance!

Hey all, I've reviewed a number of threads regarding converting one data type to another and I have something I'm working on that I'm stumped on and haven't found an answer for yet. Without getting into the details, I need to get a DINT bit value from an entered decimal value. A user will enter in a whole number in an entry box and then it needs to get converted to the number of whatever bits that the DINT number holds. For instance: # Entered Variable Bit Value -----0------------------0 -----1------------------1 -----2------------------3 -----3------------------7 -----4-----------------15 etc... I'm looking for a fairly clean way to do this, with perhaps just two or three instruction blocks to handle it, if possible. I can provide a screenshot of the HMI and the logic (4 rungs) if necessary. Any suggestions or advice from the group would be greatly appreciated!

Hello All! Long time engineer first time programmer. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have an automated Beer bottle rinser, filler, and capper that I need help diagnosing a problem. We purchased the machine in July and it ran great until a couple weeks ago when it doesn't seen to be reacting to bottles being present anymore. FX1s-30MR Here are the symptoms: When a bottle is run around the filling carousel, there is a prox sensor to detect it's presence (X007). There is also a sensor under the machine on the gears to detect timing (X006) When a bottle is detecting there is a slight delay, then the pneumatic valve for the purge fires (Y001), followed by the valve to fill the bottle with beer (Y002). Even though, the LED light on both the sensor and the I/O illuminate confirming that it is receiving the the input signal from that sensor, no output signals are being sent. My first instinct was to check all electrical connections and swap out the prox sensor just to be safe, but still no dice.... So I purchased a USB-RS422 FX cable and downloaded the demo of GX Works 2 to better try to pin point the issue. Using the monitor function on GX works 2 I can again confirm that the PLC is receiving the correct signal from X007 when a bottle is present, however the outputs Y001 and Y002 have a constant value of 0... Unfortunately this program is not simple enough for me to really understand, so maybe someone can make more sense of it than me. (see attached). Also, Not sure if its related, but when I ran the check program there is a double coil error revolving around the Beer inlet solenoid. This is to let beer into the filler bowl, not the bottle. oh and the manufacturer won't be able to help for a couple weeks when they can send a technician... Any thoughts, comments, or questions are appreciated. Cheers, Eric screenshot2.bmp screenshot1.bmp

Software: GX Works3 I'm really struggling to understand GX Works online / offline operation. (I know they've been consistent in how this works for the past ten years - but it's consistently bad!) I can't find how to work in offline mode. I powered off the PLC and the software keeps trying to connect. I've cleared the PLC memory and am trying to download the complete program to an FX5U. (I was able to do it earlier. I'm still able to communicate with PLC over Ethernet.) I'm getting:Unable to write target file because it is the following status. (sic) - Unconverted - Converted function block does not exist in FB file. - Converted function block does not exist in FUN file. - Unconverted module label. There are no red items in the navigation tree. There are no errors after a Rebuild All command. What do I need to do to figure out what the problem is? Many thanks.

Hello everybody, As many of you can see, I took a course onto development the user libraries, that able to simplify extremely a PLC programming process, to help programmers to increase a productivity of their labor, to reduce a program code and quantity of used system variables, to improve readability of programs. A part of libraries has been already developed and looks fine. Also I full with new ideas, plans and could design new and new that then to share these libraries with other programmers. The work is bringing me a pleasure, however, at current situation I can not allow for me to share the libraries for free. I can explain why. First of all, it takes my time, which is money, and I should feed my family, also the work eats a health, which is not infinitive. The second, those who can get it for free, will not appreciate the labor and will distribute it to the left and to the right. The third, ME has not an interest to my offer, to the products and doesn't want to help to make it available for all. What I'd like to propose to you: If you have an interest, I can offer to open a subscription to the ready and new libraries, which will be developed further. What I can promise and guarantee: I will collect wishes and requirements of subscribers and all can vote, what should be realized at first. The subscribers will can get a release with up to four small libraries or one big (for example, such like Modbus Master/Slave library) every month, that will fit to the requirements and the collective choice. What's a payment for the subscription? I suppose a fee in 100 USD per annum will not be predatory for a subscriber's pocket. The fee will cover costs in case, if the number of subscribers will exceed 70 people. Thanks to all for the attention and I'd like to offer to discuss the proposal in this topic.
