Hi. Can the input of fmd88 be connected to the output of another Plc sharing the same power supply? If I connect both together and everything works as normal, does it mean that it should work? Thank you.

Technical support / Excellink and Print#
« on: May 20, 2015, 07:35:41 PM »
Hi. Can both ExcelLink and Print# be run together? When I enable Excellink, most of the print# is written to a text file in fileservice directory but I do see some data missing at times. Is it possible that Excellink is using the port while MD888 is trying to write to file, hence the missing data?

Technical support / Excel link with office 2010
« on: March 16, 2015, 07:10:05 AM »
Hi. I had used excel link with excel 2003 with no problem. However, when I switched to excel 2010, I encountered a problem. When I open an excel file with name aaa.xls and put aaa.xls in the open excel file name, there is an error. When I open an excel file book 1.xls, it will auto open a new workbook book 2.xls and run with no issue. Any idea how to make it use a determined workbook?

« on: June 12, 2014, 09:53:44 AM »
Hi. I'm using i7017 to take reading from 4 lvdt. However, the timing allowed is only approximately 0.4s. Possible to get a goodand stable reading?  I've tried using only 1 analog channelp of  fmd88 to take stable readings but there are approximately 11 units of fluctuation. Any idea how to get repeatable and accurate results?

Technical support / I7017
« on: April 08, 2014, 01:47:50 AM »
Hi. I am using FMD88 and I7017. LVDT probes are connected to a servo motor that will retract upon probe contact with a surface. I want to capture the maximum compression of the probes. I tried using the below custom function executed in 0.01s loop. Data can be captured sometimes only. Is the function too slow? Any way to solve the problem?

Z$ = NETCMD$(3,"#01"+CHR$(13)+"~")

FOR I = 0 to 3
   DM[11+I] = VAL(MID$(Z$,2+I*7,3)+MID$(Z$,6+I*7,3))  'Get the digits without the decimal point
   If DM[11+I] < DM[21+I]
   dm[21+I] = DM[11+I]
   endif
NEXT

Hi. Currently, a load cell sends an analogue signal to an amplifier before hooking up to AB PLC. Is it possible to tap the analogue signal in order for FMD to monitor the signal as well?
