Internet PLC Forum

Several years ago, I questioned the correct way to continue a Trilogi "IF" line, and thought the correct way, was to start the new line with a boolean (AND, OR, etc.). I prefer keeping the lines to length so they print nicely. The statements below, don't execute inside the "IF" to "SETIO EXERCISE".

If the web page messed the line lengths, The first 2 ?? lines are really on the first line. The line starting AND (DM[3984], and the following line are the 2nd line. The remaining 4 lines are as shown, individual lines.
========================
IF ((DATE[3] > (7 * (DM[3975] - 1))) AND (DATE[3] < ((7 * DM[3975]) + 1)) AND (DATE[4] = DM[3976])
AND (DM[3984] = DM[3977]) AND (TIME[2] < 1) AND (TIME[3] <= 30))
   'Turn the generator on
   SETIO EXERCISE
   TIMERPV[9] = 6000
ENDIF
========================
This is in a Cusfn with a 1.0 second special bit. I have numerous times checked the values being compared, pairing of "()", where everything is true, but the SETIO doesn't happen. Also have looked for something being reset elsewhere in the code.

Any thoughts, appreciated.

From TLSERVER, I get a window popping up "Problem sending E-mail" -  "501 Useage: Mail From"<sender>:.

The E-mail appears to be received OK.

What's happening? Is there a reference for these type messages?

Also get a message: "454 Message Rejected"

The modem is connected to the PLC via port1 RS-232 and I have no problem getting the modem to dial and establish a connection, but not successful logon to the ISP. The sample program does not provide for a username, but that should not be an issue, once I am able to determine the protocol and log on successfully using a terminal program. The PC that can be connected to the PLC for programming has ability to dialup or DSL, but I would rather not have the PC and DSL powered up while on vacation.

I have a PLC that would like to login in to my ISP and send an E-mail if there is an alarm condition, like high water level of a sump pump. The PLC can be programmed and communicates via RS-232 to a dialup modem on a land line. With the PLC or a terminal software (Realterm) have no problem dialing, connecting and getting the ISP login message ending with "..User name:<sp>", but unable to get verified as a user, even though the username and password are correct. Long conversation with ISP (Windstream, used to be Alltel) India tech support didn't help, they know nothing of the login protocol and format.

Using a RS-232 Spy software (Free Serial Port Monitor) I am able to catch the Windows XP Dialer conversation which is able to logon successfully reliably. Several runs of logging on seems to indicated that the conversation is consistent with exactly the same strings of characters each time, ruling out noise. The following is the conversation after the "..User name:<sp>" and through my username and password being sent out. I have changed my username and password to protect the innocent. The password follows the 07h after the username (E-mail address).

1:Can someone explain what's happening with the conversation between the request and sending the user name?
2: Looks like some kind of encryption or protocol like TCP/IP or? Sending what info?
3: I would rather not program the PLC for all this garbage, is there a work around?

Can I run Trilogi under Linux (Gutsy Kubuntu). If so, how do I do it? I'm thinking Java is available on both Linux and Windows. Trilogi is installed on an Windows XP Pro machine that is networked to the Linux machine, so access to the Java applications is not an issue. Or can I run it under Wine as a windows application?

This machine is planned to be a backup, put away in a closet, unless the main machine crashes, and hopefully won't ever be needed.

Is there a way to continue a long line in a custom function, or print it, where the end isn't printed, or wrapped to next line?

Have  T100MD888+, 1 EXP4040, and MD-HMI420. All the LEDS both red and green are on. Online monitoring shows only one green should be on. Otherwise the PLC including the HMI seems to be operating normally. Removing the EXP4040 and plugging the HMI directly to the T100MD888+ the LEDS are all off.

Assuming it a defective chip (which one), since many of the I/O's are not being used at this time, are there other chips I could borrow on one of the boards until I can order a replacement?

While updating today got the following error:

 Unable to execute file:
 C:\TRiLOGI\TL6\java lib\instserialio2005.exe

 CreateProcess failed; code 3.
 The system cannot find the path specified


My installation is to "E" which was specified earlier. The file is in the folder as noted above, except it's"E".

The Trilogi manual indicates that NETCMD$ will wait a specifed time for a response. What is the time? is it settable?

If in the event of a FCS error, a serial error flag is set, how can I check it?
