Technical support / FMD88 Dim output light
« on: August 27, 2012, 07:01:47 AM »
Hi,

I am trying out a new prox sensore from Keyence.  It is a two wire NPN 24 v DC prox.  When it is in its off state, the input it is tied to, leaves a dim light on.  I am using the blue wire to the PLC and black to 0v from it and it is wired properly according to the wiring diagram.  Any ideas?  I am also pulling 17v in off state vs 20v on my other outputs.

Thanks

Technical support / Sequencing question
« on: June 11, 2012, 10:11:53 PM »
I have a sequence of operations that I am doing and  I need the user to be able to plug in how many times the operations need to be repeated(using a DM value input from an HMI), i.e I need Seq 1:1 to Seq 1:5  to run 10 times.  

I am having a mental block about how to go about doing this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Matt

Technical support / Undef. Interrupt Error Message
« on: March 23, 2012, 09:19:19 AM »
I keep getting this random error message:

Undef. Interrupt
CF# 0005:01CB


Can anyone give me some insight on why it is happening randomly and few and far between?

Thanks

Technical support / Reset without changing DM Values
« on: November 21, 2011, 07:05:22 AM »
How can I reset all I/O's, counters, and sequencers, without losing my DM values?  I need to have an E-stop on a machine, but I don't want to lose all DM values....

Thanks

Technical support / Modbus Stepper Control
« on: November 05, 2011, 08:14:32 AM »
Hello People,

I am fairly new to the world of PLC programming and I am at a sticking point with the program I am working on.

I am trying to control 7 stepper motors from 2-F2424's  and one nano.  I need to send a modbus command(?) to the other plc's to start the stepper motors.  I am trying to align beer cans for proper facing on the shelf before the sixpack ring is applied.  I have a succesful program except for sending signals out the the 4 external (from the master F2424) stepper motors.  There is a DM value that tells the stepper motors how far to travel after the photoeye spots the alignment mark(for different brands).

I have it all working great in simulation mode, I just need to figure out how to make the other motors work like the first 4.  The 7th motor is for the six pack ring advance. I though about doing it via DI/DO's but I can't set the value from my HMI if I do it that way.(at least I think)

So to sum it up, How do you send a stepmove and stepstop command to the other two plc's from with in my ladder program while keeping my DM value(from HMI Input)?

Thanks
