Hi,

I read in a post some time ago that you were bringing out an analogue module / interface, is this still the case?

Hi,

Ok thanks. I can setup a test email account and send you the file if it helps?

Cheers.

Hi,

I'm using the authenticated email program and it works fine but according to the LCD it says "unknown CMD" and "Email Failed"  even through it works every time?

Z$ is empty as I do not receive a response from my SMTP server. - not sure why?

I have modified the response code of the "ERROR_CHECK" function as below from:

@1
IF STRCMP (Y$, MID$(Z$,1,3)) = 0    ' Check for propper response

To:

@1
IF STRCMP (Y$, MID$(Z$,1,3)) <> 0    ' Check for propper response

The LCD now displays "Response OK" and "Email Sent" but am I just putting a plaster on this or is this what I have to do based on this servers response?

Cheers

HI,

 I have merged my modified functions with one of the original functions which seams to help although I don't get my pop up alert now..

function errormsg(txt){alert("Connection Failed:\n"+txt)}  
function checkSvrResp(xmlobject, from){
   if (xmlobject.status!=200 || xmlobject.responseText==""){
     svrOK=0;drawMsgColor("Server Error!","red");
    errormsg("Communication to remote PLC failed"); // added
     return 0
   }  
else {svrOK=1;return 1}
}

Hi,

I'm looking for some webpage help from the support team and the forum community.....

I have modified the standard web pages to suit my needs and I'm having a intermittent issue with the communication.

The page works really well except for the fact every now and then I get a PLC communication JS alert.  I think it has something to do with the communication call vs response latency but cannot pin it down.

The page can run all day without any issues locally or accross the web but then.....bingo comms error.  we have added a refresh after the error alert to get it all going again but its only putting a plaster on things.

 I appreciate that JS issues are not supported and modifications to the standard files are at your 'own risk' as such but I wanted to see if any other users had any JS experience they could share.

I have (against your advice  ;D) removed the JS file and merged the HTM and JS file into one file.  

The web files and program are attached.  Its a simple time clock program with some fields for entering on / off times of the PLC output with a force option and LCD display.

Anyone with a Nano or F series PLC can install the we page and program and have a go.....  We have a bar graph which also works well.

There are a lot of parts of the HTM file commented out as I'm still testing this and will remove and tidy when I'm done but as said it suits our needs perfectly.

Any JS support welcomed  ;)

Cheers Marcus

Hi,

Ok thanks.  I figured if you can use HT on a PC I could send a SMS too.  ???

I'll ask one of the forum members for some assistance.

Cheers

Hi,

Not really.  I looked at these earlier but they are all GSM related.  I expect the commands are similar but I don't have the time to  play around :(

Technical support / PLC, Modem & SMS.......
« on: September 26, 2012, 06:26:39 AM »
Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with using the PLC to send SMS messages with a standard modem i.e not GSM?

Can anyone recommend a modem and share some code?  I have been asked to provide this on a very short delivery so I don't want to slip up due to prolonged de-bugging from scratch if possible.

All I need to do is send a text when an input changes state so I'm hoping someone has done this or similar already.

P.s  TL server and a PC is not an option, I need this to be standalone, just the PLC, modem and phone line....

Cheers

Ok thanks.

I'll test the Plc and let you know.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. I was only trying to convert to hex becaus of the syntax errors.

One thing you could try:

Open a blank program
Go controller > connect to controller
Enter IP and connect. I'd not needed here yet.
Now click get hardware and notice ID is blank
Don't detect ID
Enter new ID 75
Hit change ID

Try that for size.

  I also had the online monitor open at one stage which may have contributed???
I only have the issue with a couple of r76A PLC's. Whilst onsite I replaced a PLC with a blown analogue input.  I'm not sure what level of FW is in this plc but I will test and let you know if it responds the same way.

Can the Plc be repaired? If not and it does have the address error do you want me to and it over to you to look at?

Hi,

It looks Like any ID higher than 09 causes the ethernet port to become unresponsive.

I have re-ID the PLC's with this problem with the ID range 01 - 09, although one PLC would take longer to respond the higher the ID i.e. if the ID was 07 it would ping in 400ms and drop 50 of the packets, now its set to 02 i get all four packets and the response is 5-15 ms???

I have used the following setsystem command for the HMI:

SETSYSTEM 8, &H0001             ' Set Comm Port 1 ti ID 1 for RL

This works on all PLCs r76A to r78A.

For future systems i will use the:

'SETSYSTEM 8,&H0375 '+ DM[66]      ' Set Device ID &h03 = cOMM4 ETHERNET IP

But going back to my original request, how to i convert the dec data from the DM field into hex?

Cheers

HI Changed the ID from 01 to 02 and 03 no problem, when i tried 75 (117 in Dec the PLC kicks me out of the ethernet port.

Hi,

when you change the ID via the Trilogi program it has a note that says "Changing ID will reset PLC"

I don't agree about the FW but that's just my opinion.

I'm going to try and nail down whats happening today and i will let you know the outcome.

I'm aware the ID is in Hex.

What are my options now then ???  And why not the field upgrade FW option?    

Of all the things that can have their FW upgraded I would have thought this would be one of them? ::)

Hi,

I was using the trilogi program "get hardware info"  > Change ID and the change ID in the TL server locally when the TCP was out.

The address range i need is 101 to 125 but I will attempt using 1 to 25 tomorrow to see if this makes any difference.

The panels are located around a landfill site and are active 24/7.  the ethenet communication is via wifi antennas and as a whole the system works very well.

What about the FW upgrade solution?  I cannot remove the PLC's from the panels now they are "in service"

Cheers
