Hello everyone, I have a problem with Matsuhita PLC (in attached is a picture). Namely, we used Matsuhita PLC for dry drawing line company COMAPAC (in attached is a picture) to produce welding wire. We don't have any support for this machine because COMAPAC doesn't exist since for a very long time. Machine don't put into operation because thex has some error in PLC. We tried to fix the problem with PLC, but we need a program with extension .lb1 or .sqp to solve this problem. Anyone has similar problem with that PLC, with with machine (COMAPAC) or this situation? Does anybody know where we could buy Matsuhita PLC or get that program with that extension (.lb1 or .sqp)? Any suggestion or advice regarding this problem is welcome. Best regards, Stipe

I am attempting to use EPLAN P8 (v.2.9) to import details from a 'holy grail' excel sheet of a cable list with terminal tags and numbers (source and target for each cable). To do this I began importing details in a trial and error fashion through the pre-planning menu to the pre-planning navigator. I have several questions. Question (1) Has anyone else tried to do this?  In the process of importing from the excel sheet I have not been able to successfully assign source and target for each cable object. It shows up on the synchronization dialog after I work through the field assignment but it disappears after import. ( I do not fully understand the proper structures, definitions, properties and levels to get what I want). I do understand if I import source and target terminals, and cable objects separately, then I can place on the detailed view and source and target are assigned then. Question (2) Does anyone know how to assign source and target to a cable object in pre-planning 'by import'?  (Reason being that the excel file is huge and manual assigning isn't feasible). On one of my attempted field assignment schemes I was able to have cable, source terminal, and target terminal, all on different levels (not actually assigned as source and target for the cable object btw.). However the result for source and target on the report (planning overview, form: f40_006) had all of the designations of the tree structure from the upper levels. For example, cable: HAC4401, source: HAC4401 X1:5, target: HAC4401 X1:5 TB1:5. (Where X1:5 is source terminal and TB1:5 is target terminal). Question (3) Does anyone know how to create a 'branch' or 'fork' in the tree structure in the preplanning navigator so that both source and target terminals (planning objects) are on the same level and so do not inherit each others details?  There's a bunch of info in reading the above I know, but if anyone can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated!!!! Thanks in advance,  MajorMac
