  1. SLMP Failures

    Hello all,  I am new to using Mitsubishi and I am having issues communicating with my Cognex Camera. I have the camera configured in Datamn Setup Tool. I have the Ethernet card configured and validated. I am able to ping both devices and get a response on the network. However, I received an SLMP failure in Dataman and there's no communication between my camera and the controller.  Please see the attached photos to view how I have the camera and PLC configured.
  2. Hello! I just recently started learning about PLC's at University. While using Gx Works 2, how do I turn on auto complete for existing variable names? With this I mean, after creating a variable, for example bSystem_Started, if I want to use it again, what setting do I need to change so that by just typing "bSy", a pop up appears saying the whole name "bSystem_Started", so by just pressing enter it auto completes. Thanks in advance, Greetings, Patrick.

  4. DSFL Command_Mitsubishi

    I am using Q03UDE CPU and I am using DSFL command in my logic. There are some different values that I have to shift in different range. Lets say I'm using DSFL at 4 places. In 4th data is shifting in intervals. For instance with every trigger value in D1600 is shifting to D1602. Other 3 are working fine. I believe I'm missing something. Could anyone help?
  5. Hey! Is there any possibility to acces the PLC variables in GXWorks from another program? Like I want to read and write the I/O-s or Merkes in the Mitsubishi PLC from another program Could someone help me with this? Thank you!
  6. HI! I wondered if there were a program for converting IL to structured ladder in gxworks 2. I saw someone upload what I think might be what im looking for a long time ago : https://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/topic/12702-il-code-change-to-ladder/. (FX2N/FX2NC) Thanks in advance! :)

  8. GXWorks 2 Comment Translation

    Hello, I was wondering if any of you have experience translating comments. To be more specific, I have been tasked with translating all of the comments in my plant from japanese to english. We have many different series of PLCs, but they are all mitsubishi, and I will be using GXWorks 2 for 99% of them. I had the idea of writing the comments to a CSV file, Translate them there, and then just read them from CSV back into the project. I have tried numerous methods, but it seems the CSV loses format and isnt able to be read back into GXWorks. Some of these comment files have almost 10,000 comments. Do any of you have any suggestions on the best way to translate these comments over, in a more automated way than manually one-by-one.  Thanks in advance for any support you can provide!
  9. Hi, I have a problem because a TON Timer instance in an ST program does not start running. Is this a known limitation on FX5U CPU's or ST Language in General ? On the internet are some discussions, and there is a person which says it works for FX CPU's: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58463316/delay-timer-in-structured-text?noredirect=1&lq=1 But not for me.... And some discussions here in the forum: http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/topic/20864-plc-failing/ http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/topic/37923-calling-a-timer-in-st-code/ The last one is interesting, but it did not helped in this simple case.   For clarification, I created a very small program in GX Works3 (v1.057K) The FB instance in Picture 1 works very well if one sets M10 to True. The ST instance in Picture 2 does not start when setting M20 to True. Has anybody a clue? Any help welcome DWIM  
  10. Hi, I am new to this community. My intention is detect trigger action at D6 and D7 (using PLS and PLF one scan feature).  I am here to ask how to reset the data bits in Data Registers, e.g., D6 and D7, as shown in Expected.pdf. My PLC ladder diagram is shown in Ladder Diagram.pdf.   Best Regards, sengkai   PLC Flinken v8.25 extreme D6&D7 stay at 1 after it is triggered.pdf Ladder Diagram.pdf

    Hi All i have tried to reinstall GXWorks 3 but i keep getting a message thats says other product needs to be uninstalled first.(as Attached) i have unistalled everything to do with Mitsubishi, GX developer, MR configurator, even went it the servers and deleted evrything there. Gone into program and programs(X86) deleted everything there as well.        Any advice
  13. Hello, Completely new to Mitsubishi PLCs and I need to use a date and time stamp for data collection purposes. We have a Siemens PLC as well and this has the data type "Date_And_Time" which is what I need to replicate. I have been attempting to write my own data type but am struggling with how to go about this as it is not straightforward and I cannot find anything about how the Siemens Date_And_Time is made up so I have nothing to go off. Does anyone have an example of a data type they have made that is the same? Or is there a data type which does this already in GX Works 2 that I just can't seem to find?  Please help!
  14. GX Work2 Comments in Arrays

    I am very new to the Mitsubishi PLC world (I have a lot of experience with A/B and Omron though).  I am having an issue trying to assign comments to an array of Globally scoped bits - I am also using Structured Ladder - NOT simple ladder.  Is it possible to do this?  I have contacted there tech support group and they were of little help.  I don't care if I update the label comment or the device comment, I just want to assign a simple comment that can be displayed (i.e. I am using this for step sequences).   Any help would be greatly appreciated!  
  15. Continuous sine wave problem

    Hi,  I encountered specific problem during work with PLC&HMI application. The main task of that system is controlling torque changes of induction motor with inverter&analog PLC output. There are few built-in functions to change torque: exponential, constant, trapeze and unlucky sine. All functions are implemented as array of 1500 values. When array reaches 1499 element, it comes back on first position and so on. It works without any problem for exp, constant, trapeze and sine wave with natural numbers of frequency e.g. 1Hz, 3Hz etc. The trouble appears when we want to control torque with float value of frequency and unfortunately its the most important part of that project. When the float value frequency is chosen, the last element of array is totally different than the first one. In result, in every period of array, appears drop of value. Check the attachments to comprehend what's going on. The first image shows GXWorks restriction of index. The second image shows how does it look on simulate screen, where it's representation of PLC registers D2000 - D3499. On third and fourth images you see values of registers in Device Memory Batch of GXWorks. Fifth image shows the script which I work on. Do you have any ideas how to implement float values of frequency in correct way? I should make an opportunity to online change of sine frequency in continuous way between 0 and 10 Hz, with 0.2Hz step. I will be very grateful for any advice.  Greetings, J
  16. Develop a program that will latch on an output Y0, 20 seconds after input X1 has been turned on. The timer will continue to cycle up to 20 seconds, and reset itself, until input X1 has been turned off. After the third time the timer has timed to 20 seconds, the output B will be unlatched.
  17. GT Designer3 Script Problem

    Hi,  I encountered a specific problem during work with GXWorks2 & GTDesigner3. In my part of group project I need to receive from proper script, array of values of sine wave. I need to get 1500 values of sine wave and fill registers in GXWorks and have no idea why my script does not run. I'm using simple while loop with no errors statement from Syntax Check. My script should calculate sine values from index 0 to 1500, and substitute it to registers D2000 - D3499. Look in attachments for better understanding my trouble.  I'm looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.  Greetings, Jan P.S. I'm new in Mitsubishi Equipment programming so if it's some kind of beginner's problem - please be merciful for me.

  21. Mitsibushi GX Works 2 Error C4105

    Hi, I am building up a project in GX works for the first time and have several program blocks with function blocks set up (all in ladder). My problem is when I go to enter new tasks in the execution program it comes up with the error: More than one ladder program has been set in the program file 'MAIN' Has anyone had this issue? Is this to say that you cannot have more than one program in the execution program? Thanks Neill  
  22. Non-volatile memory GX Works2

    Hi all, Im trying to figure out how to create non-volatile memory tags in GX Works 2 (using a FX3U controller), so that the values stored in the D registers won't keep zeroing out every time the controller powers down. Does anyone have any helpful tips on how this is done? Thanks
