Technical support / Deleting Custom Functions
« on: October 11, 2015, 01:11:13 AM »
Is there any way to delete a custom function similar to the way you can delete a circuit or remove a row from the define table?

I have some gaps in my custom function table that I would like to remove.

I also have some gaps in my internal relay table that I would like to remove.

Thanks!

Gary,

Thank you for posting this!  I'm still learning better process control technique, so I appreciate these sorts of posts.

Can I ask why you have ADC(1) twice?

Would either of these work?

   DM32[1] = ((DM32[1] * 31)  + ADC(1)) / 32

   or

   DM32[1] = ((DM32[1] * 31)  + ADC(1) + ADC(1)) / 33

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something fundamental.

Technical support / Relays not functioning with HMI
« on: October 07, 2015, 11:00:16 AM »
My process uses an FX1616 BA connected to an MT6070i HMI through the 232 serial connection.  9600 baud.

I have a few internal relays that are activated using SETIO within various custom functions.  When I run the simulator in Trilogi 7, the internal relays function properly.  

In the HMI program, I also have toggle switches to allow the operator to manually activate those internal relays.

When the PLC is running the program and connected to the HMI, some of the internal relays are not being activated as they should.  

On the toggle switch settings I have a check box for "write when button is released" under the write address area.  I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

Any thoughts?

Technical support / Re:Sync Time between PLC and HMI

Gary, Thanks for the response.  Those are good suggestions.  

I wish I could have the HMI reference a network, but the equipment is off the grid, on a remote island.  We actually power everything using a generator.

I like the idea of copying the HMI time to the PLC.  I'm wondering if I might write the time on the PLC using a 1st scan custom function.  What do you think?  The only issue then would be how to reference the HMI time registers from the PLC.

Technical support / Sync Time between PLC and HMI
« on: October 02, 2015, 11:25:02 AM »
I'm using a mT6070iE and FX1616 for my process.  I'm using the HMI to log a lot of data as required for government compliance.  

I know how to set the time for the HMI and PLC individually, but I would like them to sync.

Does anyone know of a way to sync the times between both?  Maybe there is a way for the HMI to read the time from the PLC or something?

Not sure if you were able to get a resolution on this already.

I was getting the same issue and then got the new driver from KEP and that did the trick.

The driver that Gary Dickenson mentioned was from 8-6-15, but there has actually a newer version.  Not sure the build date, but I'm using V.1.03.

Not sure if that will make a difference... I think they may have updated some of the FP[] mapping.
