Technical support / undefined interrupt F1616
« on: March 02, 2021, 10:21:04 AM »
I have been running an F1616 plc for many years, and in recent years, occasionally (every 3-6 months) the plc locks up. 
Please see attached screenshot for the error message, Run time error in function #6, DM32 out of range, with the LCD pointing me to line 033B in function 6, which has been commented out. I suspect my firmware version 71 is too old to implement intrdef 100,n,1
If I were to return it, could you check for a hardware fault, and then upgrade this old PLC to the latest firmware?
I would consider also returning two nano-10 r75 plcs in the same package for upgrading to upgradable firmware.

Technical support / Re:Simple\Lite SCADA application
« on: November 27, 2010, 12:23:22 PM »
Take a look at http://www.sweetwilliamsl.com/iweb/smhome where there is a simple and inexpensive scada system for the iphone/ipad. It runs on my itouch and communicates nicely over modbus TCP to the F series(and I assume nano) PLC's. Perfect for a home automation project.

ScadaMobile from http://www.sweetwilliamautomation.com/ is an Iphone/Itouch app which I have successfully connected to the F1616  PLC using Modbus/TCP.

Frequently Asked Questions / Re:can we send sms?
« on: June 03, 2009, 02:56:33 PM »

On http://europe.nokia.com/A4143107 is a document ' Send, Receive and Read SMS with Terminal Program and Nokia 6210 Phone '  which contains all the relevant commands for controlling a Nokia 6210 phone (and Siemens SMS modem) over a serial port. The 6210 is still available very cheaply on ebay. It is special in that it has a genuine serial port and cable available so ideal for Tri plcs. Have fun. William

Technical support / Small error in thermistor application note
« on: January 04, 2008, 04:03:26 AM »
I noticed a small error in your Thermistor application note. When the measured value is between -0.1 and -0.9 degrees F, the display shows it as positive. I only noticed because you have previously given me a simple solution to this precise problem.

Technical support / read weather data from web
« on: September 14, 2007, 03:51:07 AM »
I am building a heating control system using the T100MD PLC, and need to read the weather forecast from a (BBC) rss weather feed. While I understand that one way would be to read the feed into a PC, and pass the stripped data to the PLC. However, for increased reliability I was wondering if it would be feasible to use an X-server to read the data from the web directly and use text manipulatiion on the PLc to extract the relevant data. Any tips appreciated.

Technical support / W98 freezes when online monitoring
« on: October 14, 2004, 07:17:33 AM »
After a short while (several minutes), my Windows 98se PC screen freezes when running online monitoring using trilogi V5.31, TLserver v2.1 and direct serial connection to a T100md+r47 PLC.  Using an x server over a very simple network and it freezes within a few seconds. Is there a known issue with w98? I can monitor reliably from my work w2000 PC over the internet.

Technical support / small negative temperatures on lcd
« on: October 11, 2004, 04:16:24 AM »
I would like to display both positive and negative temperatures  to one decimal place using setlcd. My code is:
A$ = STR$(A/10) +"."+STR$(ABS(A) MOD 10,1)
This works fine except for temperatures between -0.1 and -0.9  when the display is positive not negative. Any simple ideas?

Technical support / DTMF control
« on: March 05, 2004, 07:32:29 AM »
I'd like to control  my PLC using DTMF tones from my mobile phone to a land line near the PLC . Do you or any other users have any tips as to how this could be done.

Technical support / Recommend a Scada package
« on: April 05, 2002, 01:39:44 AM »
Can you recommend a simple/inexpensive scada/software package that would allow animated graphics to be created of the plant controlled by one of your PLC's with control buttons, and possibly viewed/controlled remotely by clients on the company network.
