I dont know many about this, but i understood it like when you push control commands vfd going revers or stop etc. And maybe at the same time adprw reads its parametrs.  Please help. It woulde be nice if there will be attached photo or visual real example
  3. FX5 PWM Y0 OUTPUT

    Hello everybody peeps, Todays challenge is to get this PWM going on Y0. I know that we can do this 2 ways. I am wanting to do it via Parameters and the HIOEN function. but despite following the PWM guide I cannot get it going on simulation, Y0 is not turning on at all. I have set parameters as per attached, and did the same code is on the guide, but still nothing.   the code in the guide goes in error at the moment. Let me know your thoughts.   Many thanks.

  8. Hi guys, hoping for some help with a module problem I am having. We have not long started using GX Works 3 and Fx5's. In the UK we are having problems getting Fx5-4ad modules, so having asked our local distributor for an alternative he has told us we can use a Fx5-cnv-bus and an Fx3-4ad. Having read the manuals from cover to cover I still cant sort the problem. Picture one shows how the modules are depicted in the manual and also in hardware. Picture two is how GXW3 lets me put the modules together. Picture three shows GXW3 will not allow me to put the modules together as should be. Picture four shows the error message I am getting, also the error light is flashing on the Fx5. Pulling my hair out guys, and at my age need all I've got. Any help much appreciated. Steve.          
  9. Hi gentlemen, I have I bottle capping machine and I'm reading the torque value from one of the Sureservo2 drives. As the bottles pass through the machine, I need to display the peak torque value and hold it until the next bottle passes through. This machine could run up to 100 bottles a minute. I would also like to display a 10 bottle peak torque average. Does anyone know of a good way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.  
  10. FX5U CONNECTED TO KEYYENCE DL-EP1 ETHERNET/IP COMMUNICATION STANDARD 1. CAN I CONNECT ON THE ETHERNET PORT OF FX5U CPU OR NEED EXPAND MODUL? 2. IF CONNECTED, WHAT STANDARDS TO USE AND HOW SETTINGS? THANKS EVERYONE!   DL-EP1.pdf
  11.  We have been tasked with saving money on equipment within our 4 plants here in the USA. I would like to investigate using low cost HMI's, I've had great success using C-more in the past. Has anyone had any of the several low cost HMI's attached to Emerson PAC (AKA GE Prophecy) PLC's? has there been any connectivity issues? I'd like to try one to replace the Emerson HMI's which are hard to source, and expensive. I believe any time setting up a low cost option would offset the cost of the Emerson, and open up our choices of HMI's and not be boxed in to one brand. We also use Profinet along with Ethernet connection, I believe the Emerson HMI only uses Ethernet (for us) but if there is a Profinet version that is easy to set up, that would make it an easy sale for me.   This HMI would also have to work with the older 90-30 series PLC's, but i'm pretty sure the communications have not changed much from the to the stand alone RSTi-EP and RX3i PLC's. Any advice would be appreciated.  Have a great week. 
  12. KWH Meter

  13. Hello all. First time post in this forum. I am hoping someone here can offer some advice or a solution to a problem I am having. I have a Modbus water meter from chinese that connected to my FX5U with ADPRW Instruction, but i have a problem. The cumulative flow from water meter is a 4-byte hexadecimal number, with the high bit first and the low bit last. I want the output from the PLC is real number FLOAT. can someone in this forum help me to combine 2 different WORD and create a single FLOAT. Here I Attached document from water meter.   Thank you, Modbus协议英文Modbus water meter communication protocol.pdf
  14. Hello all,   I am working on a batch computer for a concrete mixer, and the computer that was running the plant before has stopped functioning. It was an old PC running MS DOS. The code is encrypted and replacing it is not a cost effective option.   I therefore am looking into using a PLC to control this batch plant. I have a setup that was in progress by another employee who no longer works for us, it is a CLICK PLC from Automation Direct, and it is supposed to be paired with a EA9 T8CL touch screen HMI from the same company. I would like some advice on just some basics, I would greatly appreciate some input.   I essentially only have one input, and that is an analog scale, 0-20mA input. I have digital outputs for sand, gravel, cement powder, and a water meter for adding water to the mixture. I have one final output, an additive for reducing the required water in the concrete.   What I would like to create is a program that when it is told to start, looks at the scale, and if the scale is less than say 100 pounds, opens sand until it hits 1700 pounds (as an example), then turns it off. Then it turns on the gravel and adds that for another 1700 (again for example, all these are variable), turning the gravel off after. Next the cement, and so on. I don’t need someone to write the program for me, but can someone point me in the right direction on using an analog input to turn digital outputs on and off? Again, your help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks for taking the time to read this long post.

  16. Can USB-A2 connect PLC through PROFIBus? Can profibus connect sub-stations directly for diagnosis?   There is a 3152dp, which communicates with the sub-station through dp, and it is inserted into the dp head of cpu. It is not connected by automatic mode, but can be inserted into mpi port. Do you need any Settings?
  17. FX5U Modbus-TCP Server (Slave)

    Hello everybody. I need a solution for Modbus-TCP server on the PLC. With the FX3U it would work with the FX3U-ENET module. The internal interface of the FX5U should actually be able to work with the library of the FX3U (FX3GModbusTCPServer_GW2_V100) or not? Because a socket connection is now possible. I would be happy about suggestions. Dave

  19. GX Works3 Projectlib Locked

    Hello, I have a problem that I need to solve in a PLC program has it's projectlib locked.  I work for a company that contracted a PLC programmer before my time to program their new version of their control cabinets. The company did not write any specific contract with the contractor and just relied on his work. The guy later delevered a buggy software that is kind of functional (the bugs came up at the commissioning after the guy was paid and now he refuses to help or to provide more consultations). I have as a task to freshen this up and make it work without bugs, the problem is that the Projectlib is locked and I cannot access the source code.  The only thing that I can changes that I can make to the code is to put some logical circuits between the I/O of the already existing function blocks, which solved some problems, but not all and it keeps one of the most important ones as well. Anyways, that's my story, so now my question is, is there and possible way of unlocking the projectlib? Any feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advace!

  21. File Transfer Protocol

    Hello I have a FX5U PLC that is performing some data logging (D-reg and Bit) through the CPU module logging configuration tool, sample time of 5 minutes. Currently the client is physically swapping the SD cards to retrieve the data. I wish to set up a File Transfer Protocol function to transfer the logging data to the C drive of a local PC. They will be connected via ethernet cable through a network switch but independent of any other networks or internet. Desired function of FTP: 1.      Data transfer every 24 hours 2.      Confirm SD card not in use (either pause logging function or carry out in between 5 min samples) 3.      Read logging data from SD card 4.      Write data to local drive on PC 5.      Delete transferred files from SD card to leave capacity for further logging operations 6.      Data logging instruction file (.llp) must be left on SD card 7.      Recommence data logging function I have configured the PLC as FTP Server and managed to view the contents of the SD card through windows file explorer on laptop with limited success (connection is intermittent and when access is possible, it does not always show updated/latest SD card contents) Is it possible to achieve the automated FTP using Mitsubishi and Windows software or do I need 3rd party software as well? Any advice on this would be hugely appreciated.   Many thanks.
  22. Selecting alternate POUs on FX5U

    I've to modify this program I wrote back in 2015 and modify the sequence in Seq100Bins. I'd like to work on a copy Seq101Bins during development and toggle between the two POUs. I can't find or remember how the various POUs are called. In most other systems I've used they'd be called from the MAIN / Program but the logic isn't in there. Can anyone jog my memory or correct my understanding?

  24. FX5U Shift Dword

    I read the max value from a encoder SD4502. In the label I have sign the SD4502 as double word. If the trigger ( X10) is high then the value is counting in SD4502.  If the trigger flange is going down I puls with DHCMOV the value from SD4502 to D0. Now I will storage this data like shifting but it is only working on 16 bit. Is any one that can help how I can solved for 32 bit? I have tryit with commando sfr, SFL or BSFR,BSFL and also SHR_E. measuring on belt.gx3
  25. I'm modifying an STL program I wrote some years ago. I need to split an STL sequence (to let the first part restart while the second part runs on). The original POU runs from STL S100 to STL S138 in steps of 2 and the STL sequence ends in a RETSTL instruction. The modified program ends at STL S134 with a RETSTL instruction followed by the new sequence which runs from STL S140 to STL S146 and ends with another RETSTL. This modification causes the PLC to fault with error code 33E7 - Program structure error. Can anyone explain what's causing the error and suggest a fix or workaround? Many thanks.
