Technical support / Storing data on fmd 88-10
« on: July 27, 2011, 07:25:19 AM »
I am trying to store a 10 digit number entered from a keypad in the non-volatile memory of the FMD88-10. It gives me some wierd number when i read it back from the memory. I understand it can store only a 4 digit number ,what could i do about this scenario?

Technical support / Data entry from keypad
« on: July 19, 2011, 02:46:50 AM »
I have downloaded your progam(HMI65to80) which i use to enter data from the keypad,and comes with the Installation CD.When i try to enter more than 10 digits it does not accept the enterred number giving me an error(some absurd number).I tried changing the lenght of Z in the custom function of the program but it does`nt help.The custom function is as below

' This function handles the keypad scanning and make sure that a key must be
' pressed and released before the next key can accepted. It reserves the use
' of the Z$ string variable so you should avoid modifying Z$ in other part of
' the program.
'============================================================================

DM[900] = INPUT[2]  ' Get data from input #17-32

IF DM[900]=0
   Z = -1       ' no key pressed
   RETURN
ENDIF
IF Z >= 0       ' previous key has been pressed.
   IF TESTBIT(DM[900],Z) RETURN  ' previous key not yet released
   ENDIF
ENDIF

FOR Z = 0 to 11   ' scan 0 to 9 and <- key
  IF TESTBIT(DM[900],Z) GOTO @10: ENDIF
NEXT

@10 IF Z = 10     ' <Del> key has been pressed.
       IF LEN(Z$)>0
         Z$ = MID$(Z$,1,LEN(Z$)-1)
       ENDIF
    ELSE          ' Check if numeric keys 0-9 has been pressed.
       IF Z < 10 AND LEN(Z$) < 10   ' not more than 10 digits
         Z$ = Z$+STR$(Z)
       ENDIF
    ENDIF

Technical support / Timer present value setting
« on: July 08, 2011, 08:45:46 AM »
I am using a keypad to enter a value which sets the timer value.I use F1 and F2 keys to increase the value of the timer.But the problem is that the timer does not start from the value i enter immidiately as i enter it on the keypad.For example the set value of the timer is 800 sec and i input a timer value of 30 sec(by decreasing using f2 key) ,it first finished the 800 sec and then starts counting down the 30 sec.How do i update the timer value immidiately as i enter it using the keypad? I guess it is beacause i am using the gettimerSV[] function to get the set value of the timer instead of the present value.Do we have a funtion like gettimerPV[] or something?

What are the non volatile memory locations on an FMD88-10? Do i have to use the SETSYSTEM 252, 0 command?How can i store a constant in a non-volatile memory location?

Technical support / Simulation on Trilogic problems
« on: June 29, 2011, 07:07:22 AM »
When i simulate my circuit on Trilogic it works fine without any errors but sometimes the timers i use in the circuit stop working and the entire circuit stops responding. The number of rungs are 61, is it because there are 2 many rungs in my circuit?

Technical support / 24Vdc uniterrupted power supply
« on: June 15, 2011, 03:01:46 PM »
Hello can you suggest me a power supply to get a 24vdc battery backed power supply (input from 230Vac).I want a pretty compact power supply(about 10 cm by 10 cm).Maybe i can get one made if you have the link of circuit diagrams from making such a battery backed power supply.Been trying to find this online but not happening.Thanks

Technical support / PRINT AND INCOMM keywords
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:10:41 AM »
I need to use the PRINT or the INCOMM keyword to check if the modem which is serially connected to my COMM1 has responded.That is when i send an AT+CMGS="+44XXXX" msg from my PLC it sends an response character(>),after which i send the required message using the print command.I just need to check if the character is in COM1 port without deleting it from here(the print and incomm seem to remove it from port1).Is there another keyword to do this?

Technical support / Problem with PLC?
« on: May 23, 2011, 07:28:06 AM »
i am not receiving any kind of response from my FMD88-10 PLC when i connect it using RS232 cable.It was working fine all these days but now its not responding at all.I can see the RTC error LED glowing does this mean something?I am in the UK and my project deadline is soon approaching:(

Technical support / GSM modem with PLC interfacing
« on: May 10, 2011, 06:31:13 AM »
Hello i was looking to interface the GSM Modem with the FMD-8810 PLC.The basic idea is to monitor a range of sensors with the FMD88-10 and put on the digital output if any of the sensors cross a particular threshold value.Now i was wondering how do i send this as an alarm message(saying that the light level is low for example) to a GSM mobile.Do i need a gsm modem with many inputs, where each input of the gsm modem is connected to each digital output of the plc? Can this modem which i have attached serve this purpose.how do i go about this? thanks

Technical support / Smoke and Fire Sensor
« on: April 26, 2011, 12:40:52 AM »
I have been looking online for a smoke and a fire sensor which can be interfaced with the FMD88-10 plc. It would be of great help if anyone of you could let me know which fire and smoke sensor is compatible with the inputs of this PLC. Also how can i interface this sensor with the PLC
Kind Regards,

Technical support / Learning to interface different sensors with PLC
« on: April 21, 2011, 02:11:00 AM »
Hello i am new to the world of PLC and would want to learn how to interface different sensors with FMD8810(which i have bought).It would be very helpful if you had any example`s of work you guys have done which i could go through and learn.
Thanks.
