How many devices can I create?

2 posts in this topic

This is my first time around with a Mitsubishi PLC, and I'm using GX Works2 software to write code for a Q series PLC.  I'm setting up some timers in my program and I noticed it won't let me grab any address for a timer, I have to use the next unused value.  For example I want to create T200, but I have to use T48 because 48 is the next available address.  Is there a way around that?

Also, how many timers can I create?  I'm not trying to go for the world record of timers used, but in my program I was hoping to use timers 1-100 for one process, 101-200 for another process, and so on.  According to the Device/Label Automatic Assign Setting, the max is 2047.  Is that correct?

you can use any Timer you would like.

I would use labels and not care which used but.... 

In your PLC parameters devices TAB you can create more if needed.

The  Device/Label Automatic Assign Setting labels are those  used for the compiler.

So those are the ones you cannot use yourself. But you can change the settings if you like
