GOT2000 Blinking lamp with signal off

[Bloggy 0]

Hi Everyone,

I'm upgrading an E1100 to a GOT2710 and don't want to change the PLC code.

I need a lamp to blink yellow/red when the controlling signal is OFF.

It's easy to make it blink if the signal is ON, I just can't see how to make it work in reverse.

It looks straight forward on E Designer 7, but not in GT Designer3.

Thanks,

I think - only scripting can help.

There is a blinking option in lamp or you may combine two bits in lamp for this, like SM412 (or M8013 depending on the PLC you're using).

I can take a picture tomorrow and send of this config on GT Designer.

    Bloggy,

    You can make a lamp to blink by setting the option below. Click in the figure of the ON lamp and the configuration, shown below in green rectangle, will appear. You can select from slow (low) to fast (high) blinking.

 

BR,

Thiago

Thiago,

yes, thanks, that’s the screen where: 

It's easy to make it blink if the signal is ON, I just can't see how to make it work in reverse.

If you click on the OFF state, there’s no option to make it blink.

I think I’ve done it with scripting (Thanks for pushing me that way eziccc). If only I could find a manual that lists everything that you can do with scripting...

There is list of all functions and used data types in script editor.

How about creating 2 separate flashing lamps, setting the device to a permanent  on device and then placing them on top of each other.

Then under the Trigger tab of each of the lamps, check the box next to display/hiding. Enter your on/off bit device here and  set ON display for one lamp anf OFF display for the other.

That should work.

Hi Bloggy

You can refer the attached file show how to make the script to do the flicker when bit M100 is OFF.

You need use the GB2000 - internal bit of HMI, so no need change PLC program.

Make a script using bit GB2000.docx
